It depends how the money is spent. I'll borrow money all day at the, what, 0.5% the US government is charged, and invest it in other things, and I should be making money after interest.
"I've never gone in debt" is saying "I've never attempted a project/investment larger than I could support at the time."
I mean, they were demonstrably worse. Like, their civilization collapsed and was conquered by other empires (Macedonian, then Roman, etc.) Like, right then.
The only reason economists' predictions don't have the same reputation as a meteorologist is because
What a strange way to phrase it. Economists projections are regularly questioned, and the weather is well predicted on a 3-day, annual, and long term scale. Now, you get different granularities, but I find precipitation prediction works well on a 3 day scale, it does tend to be warmer in summer than the winter, and most years are the hottest years on record (lately).
Weather benefits from the fact that clouds don't change behavior because we talk about them.
India is expected to surpass the emissions of the entire EU by 2020
Oh no, you mean in 3 years they may produce as many emissions as an area filled with 1/3 the number of wealthy people! People who can afford to have already thrown tons of money at renewables instead of trying to get clean water to half its population?
I join you in being shocked and appalled that Indians want to use 1/6-1/10 the energy per-capita as Europeans.
Assuming prices stay the same, this is how it's supposed to work
No, that's certainly not how it's supposed to work. You left out the false advertising where they advertise x/y and deliver q/r respectively. If q/r were what was advertised, it might be different.
Bitcoin can only handle about seven transactions per second because of its decentralized nature. It could handle far more transactions with far less energy and the same ownership if a trusted 3rd party was the sole authority.
Among other things, $22 trillion dollars in land, as well as IP rights (patents), spectrum, power and other licensing fees all require annual payments in US dollars if you want to continue to own them.
Actually, totally public financial transactions would be really interesting. I mean, you still need some way of signing them, but you don't need end-to-end encryption per se. There's this bitcoin thing based on that concept.
The FTC tried to regulate NN under Obama. The court ruled that the FTC didn't have jurisdiction, and that the FCC specifically did. Hence, the FCC rules on NN.
Food waste is a pretty big problem in general, but extra KFC and needing 8 vacation homes are very different classes of problems. The US produces enough chickens to waste some, whereas there aren't enough good vacation houses.
But, I will point that I was commenting on Trump's decision making abilities. Ignoring decisions that are completely unimportant is a valid strategy.
So, what you're saying is that I get to avoid all the growing pains of GitHub by sticking to GitLab, and free ride on GitHub's growing pains? Plus use a more open solution? What's the downside?
Trump is so unhinged and disjointed he can't even plan far enough ahead to decide whether he wants original or extra crispy KFC waiting for him in the limo
Hey, what you're in the mood for can change rapidly. If yhou have enough money, having both waiting seems perfectly reasonable!
Trump has bragged about hiring people who are not of good character in the Art of the Deal. Like, he hired a man with a criminal record to handle the proceeds of his all cash business , and then laughed at the other employees when his criminal manager stole the money collected to buy flowers for a grieving coworker's family. And published it in a book.
There was a 1500 person non-violent protest. 100 people arrived (from off campus) to riot. There's a difference.
If someone is a troll, they certainly have the same legal rights to free speech. And no one denied that! It's just not a high bar. I certainly ignore trolls, and encourage society to ignore them, as a rule. And that applies to Michael Moore just as much as Ann Coulter.
Don't [protest] when someone with different political views comes to your campus
You probably meant don't protest just because someone with a different view comes. Both of the "conservative pundits" in your link are trolls. Protest to avoid feeding the trolls. Do so regardless of party.
And yes, I changed your quote to the less inflammatory and more accurate verb. Even your link calls it protesting.
Everyone, esp. in SV, wants to be Steve Jobs. But I have yet to see someone else pull off the Reality Distortion Field, the black turtleneck, or the fired and return CEO.
As far i know, this was done to stop people from joining the army, getting a free sex change operation and leaving the army.
You know you cannot just quit the army, right? I mean, it would be pretty disastrous if the army shrunk by 75% as soon as a war was declared. So you have to commit for N years.
. Besides, this sure sounds like a universal, "we don't like this person and therefore they're a terrorist" type of situation.
Your concern about being framed is sweet, but naive. It's communist china. Being a person "we [the government] don't like" is a crime, often a capital one. It's easier to just announce they found evidence while making someone disappear and not expounding on it
It's already known that amazon have dynamic pricing - it's not a stretch to assume that mechanism could be used for shady reasons.
Ummm, I'm not aware of a non-shady reason. I suppose fire sales on overstock, but since they are moving away from owning the items in the store, instead just doing fulfillment, even that risk is going away.

Baby boomers had more sexual partners on average, but please don't let facts bother you.
I mean, they were demonstrably worse. Like, their civilization collapsed and was conquered by other empires (Macedonian, then Roman, etc.) Like, right then.
In fairness, they were correct. The youth around that time were demonstrably worse than their elders.

It depends, it could also stop because there was gradual breaking of the track/vessel
Decentralization may be core to Bitcoin, but transparency in transactions is what we're discussing here and now.
Bitcoin can only handle about seven transactions per second because of its decentralized nature. It could handle far more transactions with far less energy and the same ownership if a trusted 3rd party was the sole authority.
I thought subject lines were metadata, and could therefore be gathered without a warrant.

Well, they did try to open-source the programming language as an extension of ECMA-Script.
