You can go take a flying leap for all I care. Doctors, like all other professions, place on a spectrum of skills. Don't act like they are infallible. In fact, I myself spent the last decade recovering my gut from doctor prescribed medication, when I clearly would have healed faster without them. Much much faster. So get the fuck out of here with your misplaced sense of umbrage.
"let's maybe save the outrage until they announce that they are actually going to build this thing and deploy it in the real world?"

Perhaps enough outrage now would prevent it from being deployed, or would get them to engage in at least a tiny amount of mitigation of the worst aspects of it.
> Believe it or not, I think the folks in the auto industry do want to make cleaner more efficient cars and trucks, but they also are in a business where a misstep can bankrupt the company so bold moves are not on the road map.

Wouldn't legislation that requires cleaner and more efficient vehicles level the playing field? If all companies had to do it then it wouldn't be a competitive liability.

Of course, but it's a start. They aren't exactly running gulags.

10% committing 50% of crimes is a factor of 10 over-achievement, there's no reasonable argument that the odd wacko prosecutor tips the scales this much.

Counting the victims is another crude proxy, the coroner really does see every murder victim. And IIRC this shows roughly the same disparities in major demographics, in most countries.

We do have flavors now :) Would be great to get subpackages too
I hear this argument a lot, but is a checking account really the best place to invest your money? In my view it's better to get 10% on $1k than 0.1% on unlimited, and then take anything over that $1k (or whatever you need in your checking account) and put it in a real investment.

Remember we're talking about checking accounts, not mutual funds. It's not a real investment. You might as well get something even if it's small.
Unless your monthly turnover is massive you could probably afford to lock some of that away for a year and get higher interest rates.

Or look into an offset mortgage.

Even bog standard instant access accounts are above that, and have the added benefit of not potentially losing all your money when you debit card gets nicked.
What I don't get with PoW, why would you want people to convert electricity into your coin? You're enriching an entity (the power company) that is not involved in your economy. They aren't going to use the money you give them to provide liquidity to the holders.

It really doesn't matter what was demonstrated by that study. Whatever percentage you want to try and come up with, it's still wrong for me.

How about instead of "we" change that to "some" and catch your breath on the provocative tone of panic. That some might feel this way is no shock. To presume all is where the controversy lies.

Ah - thanks
Originally, caffeine content was probably an important factor. There's a study that showed participants developed a preference for the taste of drinks that were accompanied with caffeine and theobromine. This preference became "highly significant" over the course of 6 tasting sessions:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15772863

But consider that tea has been selectively bred for taste over the course of millennia, with different cultivars seeking out different ideals of taste, combined with a history of experimenting to find the tastiest methods of processing and preparation for specific cultivars of tea.

If you're talking about tea bags commonly found in grocery stores, then yes, it could be any drinkable plant with added caffeine, and nobody would notice. But there is definitely something special about the taste of a good sencha or long jing.

This is definitely a problem for people who write true evergreen content, or do frequent updates without updating the pubdate, but across the internet I would imagine there is much more old content that is out of date than old content that is still just as relevant, so it seems like a smart strategy.

Was that them being terrible at math, or them knowing that they were selling overpriced goods (00's houses, 90's tech stocks, probably college degrees) to folks who didn't know the math?

It's not a fair comparison. Interest rates have bounced back (to some extent) and interchange fees are quite a bit higher in the US.

I haven't checked everywhere in the eurozone but a lot of major banks have online brands/products that are typically free. You should be able to have at least a checking account and a debit card without paying any fees. "Neobanks" are also a lot more developed than in the US: see N26, Revolut, Ferratum, ...

Savings accounts yield nothing, but that has nothing to do with retail banks :) That said, you can find fixed-term deposits between 1 and 2%: https://www.raisin.com/

We might not agree with all of Medium's decisions but we certainly have to understand they have the right to make them. How many platforms have to jerk the wheel left and then possibly jerk it right before we realize we're hitchhikers. We don't own the vehicle. They do. We knew that when we got onboard.

I'm not defending Medium. Not at all. That said, 2009 called and wants the cries of "OMG! Look at what Platform X did ___ to me and my content..." back.

Common practices can successfully shield liability and go unchallenged for a hundred years.

A lot of incorporation strategy and contract law is based around deterrents and cost prohibitiveness of testing them, with a bit of thought into how actual litigation would wind up.

So while housing supply versus demand is what people focus on, the social problem here (people feel like you can only live in SF if you work in tech, and high-paying tech at that) is coming from a weird sort of income inequality.

You have both extreme income differences -- an engineer might literally be making 10x what a waiter does -- and also an absurd number of people on the high end. You don't have one or two or a few hundred or a couple thousand people earning an order of magnitude more than the median, you might have a hundred thousand people with incomes an order of magnitude larger than the people below the median.

So my question is: is there any research on what we want income distributions to look like? Would these problems be occurring if engineers made 2x, 5x or 1.25x what waiters did? Would they be happening if the number of engineers was less than 5%, 10% or 2% of the city's housing stock?

How would the current parameters have to be tweaked before people who weren't earning the top incomes didn't feel like they were being left completely behind?

I'd argue a pickup truck does everything described better than the three vehicles you posted. Most people only have one vehicle and a pickup is simply a great jack of all trades.

I 100% agree that pickups are a American cultural icon (just look at the ads, they drip nationalism) but it is hard to argue that they are not practical.

I had the habit of taking several mugs of coffee per day. That helped a lot starting the day but had the side-effect of amplifying anxiety sometimes.

Today I mostly don't feel the need to drink coffee but I like to take a small cup of coffee with milk in the morning, it fulfills and is not addictive.

Maybe instead of banning coffee there can be a middle ground?
That sounds like a fun idea.

Excavation is expensive and toss in an under-utilized garden space- You could probably run for office with those ideas.

Pros of this idea: Looks pretty. A few people can grow tomato's for a fun hobby.

Cons of this idea: More expensive and unavailable for lower income.

To be fair, I'm overtly sympathetic to the lowest income.

Look at Sweden and Denmark. There's very little table service. The future is not decent wages, it's less service. And I don't see that as a problem. Other than very high end places, there is almost zero value add to a waiter. On the contrary, waiters being excessively nice and pandering so they can get a big tip is a big negative in my book.

No need to develop a separate car! Just take the car ready for ecology-driven markets, strip it of all those nasty limitators and voilà: you've got a car that offers more to its owner while costing less!

Talk about incentives!

Boy, what James Cameron could have done with this news...
Can you provide some references? This is an honest question, I am just stunned that this did not cause major account fragmentation (fat cats splitting millions into 500k chunks). Just googling (which, granted, is not truth) seems to point to major news outlets confirming that customer accounts were safe.

To clarify, I am talking about customers who held money at LB invested in mutual funds or securities. If the account had a mix M of securities before LB collapsed they would have the same mix once the dust settled and LB account was forced to whatever other brokerage. If this is incorrect (not for some advanced hedge funds, etc. but for retail customers) I would love to know.

If you are talking about folks who held LB stock or bonds, they sure did lose money when the company went bankrupt, but that is not unexpected. Stocks fluctuate in price and some go all the way to zero; for every Google there are a few KMarts, Sears or Enrons.
Why do you think this? Who are these elites that never leave security holes in things? The snowden leaks show they don't work for the NSA. They don't work in consumer electronics... the deeply flawed copy protection schemes in most video game consoles show that. They don't work for the FSB. What gives you the impression that these people even exist?

People seem to not understand the asymmetry in difficulty between offence and defense. For something to be broken, there just needs to be one fuckup, or a few tiny fuckups that can be linked together. Smart people are not infallible. Everything is exploited eventually. The only foolproof thing to do is not to build the infrastructure in the first place.

But yes, I agree with your last point. There's no privacy anymore.

That's my question. I understand how SIPC protects the cash in my brokerage account, and I understand how I can use that cash to generate returns. And brokerages have offered "cash management accounts" with checks and ATM cards for years.

I don't understand what a "checking account" is that guarantees 3% interest and is covered by SIPC instead of FDIC.

Have you heard of those handy online tracking companies, the ones that build profiles of you based on as much data they can scrape, steal or buy, mainly for advertising, but occasionally for more dubious purposes?

My point is, I don't like it, and this is actually where we're heading with this crap. The same tracking we currently have online, but in the real world.

> Then again, I imagine it won't be long before someone mentions LaTeX as a viable alternative, even though the one thing LaTeX isn't is portable. But LaTeX is primarily popular in the tech community because it lets programmers pretend to write code

Rude remarks notwithstanding, LaTeX and its ilk let you make PDFs, which are indeed portable. Setting up LaTeX is the same as setting up any other program, some of which are not portable either. ShareLatex.com [0] also exists for the purpose of using LaTeX anywhere.

People recommend LaTeX because it's in another league when it comes to typesetting and rendering more niche notation. It's also not user hostile when it comes to binary files. LaTeX source files will always be readable decades later, <binary app here> makes no such guarantees.

Whether it's a viable alternative depends on whether the user wants to make a minimal learning investment or not. If they don't, google sheets > export to pdf always exists.

It's not just waiters that can't afford the city. San Francisco could literally price itself out of existence. My previous partner was looking at residency programs. Being a doctor in training is not an attractive proposition in San Francisco, and I believe she is happy that she did not match there.

There's a huge fraction of the workforce that cannot afford San Francisco. It has nothing to do with tech. It's the lack of new housing and apartments being constructed that's driving the problem and making everything more expensive there. I don't even want to visit San Francisco again

Not owning a car is unfortunately not a realistic reality living in all but a few US cities. Most American cities were built with the car in mind, without massive public infrastructure overall owing a car is basically a requirement.
Most cities have these extremes. What's unique about SF is their geographic proximity. One could debate whether it's better to keep the inequalities out-of-sight and out-of-mind or not.

For every $1m an EDC gives to a fortune 500 company for relocation, $1m should be allocated to a fund for low interest small business lending.

Mom and pop shops have to pay taxes but frauds like Curt Schilling and slave drivers like Amazon get hundreds of millions of dollars (that they don't need) to create mediocre jobs with high turnaround.

Leveling the field isn't enough. Conglomerates are too big and too many. We need to lower the barriers for entry into markets where fortune 500 companies have made competition impossible.
So blue cities and states continue to become richer and income inequality will continue to grow. Austin, Seattle, San Diego, LA, NYC.. unbelievable

Also, kind of disappointing how low the job numbers are. 5000 in Austin over the next several years and hundreds for other areas. In contrast, Amazon announced 20K in VA and NYC. This tells me that Cupertino will continue to grow

Its not like these factors stay constant. What made sense five years ago might not make sense today. And as we know restaurants go under and new ones start up all the time.

Your favorite website? How does it make money? Advertising.

Why? Because it’s about the only way to make money on the Internet. Even if you’re selling a product, how do you think anyone is going to find it it if you don’t advertise it? Even nonprofits have to “dirty” themselves by advertising.

So spare me the holier than thou routine. You’re in the muck just like everyone else.
