I occasionally get weird clients asking me for some products to make, demand a free sample and get shocked at my pricing, without realizing I have to bare the large cost of retooling just to accommodate them, and a high risk of them saying, "No, I don't like it".
Sounds like you lose that business. Maybe you need better salesstaff.
Expiring tax cuts were because that limited the debt increase to only 1.5trillion according to optimistic numbers, which was required to prevent a Democratic filibuster in the Senate.
Average as in mean. I'm talking about median. Even your source suggests that an upper-middle class family only saves $900.
Oh, and the changes for the rich are permanent, and your (and my) tax cuts expire in 5 years. So, for somewhere between $450 (for someone making 30k) or $4500 (for a couple making like 120-200k between them) as a one time payment, we cannot afford social services that pay that much per family every year. Good deal, way to look at the long term
This is very different from communism, but I think you really meant "how is this different from communism/socialism/etc, things I were taught would destroy the economy because no one would want to work. The difference between this and those, or communism as implemented everywhere earlier in the world, is as follows: 1) True democracy running the government. 2) Robots do (almost) all the work, so there's no need for humans to work anymore. 3) This is only future income, and only a portion of future income at that.
Coastlines are fractals, not curves. You cannot measure their length with calculus. Their length literally changes at the resolution you choose to measure them at.
There's a far easier counterexample, that works in 2D even. Imagine a circle that is an island. Choose any two points. The longest, when they are opposite, straight line is a distance - lets call it d or 2r. It's totally less than the coastline, by a ratio of about 7:22.
Thiel thinks that as a Libertarian, he should be free to sell his services to authoritarians and the government shouldn't be able to stop him. I'm not sure what a Libertarian stands for other than "I think I should be able to do whatever I want, and fuck you over to the largest degree you're unable to stop me." Except for with physical violence, because most Libertarians tend to be physically incapable of defending themselves.
The newly in power Finnish government has been ideologically opposed to the UBI experiment since before it started. It had nothing to do with the results of the experiment. It was killed so they could call it failed, not because it failed.

Google announced Thursday that they were no longer developing Allo. It's not long for this world.
Bullshit. This bug was known in the 1990's.
Allo's eminent shutdown was already announced

It's quite possible they are different people.

Why would R&D costs matter? First, R&D is not the biggest cost. Second, they're trying to maximize their profit, not recoup costs.
That's patently untrue. Counterexample 1: Amazon leaves a lot of cash on the table.

The average person got like $50. Someone making $700,000 / yr gets $84,000. Yeah, really titled towards the little guy.
The EMV thing was because of liability. CC issuers make money on fraud, so they have an incentive not to do anything to prevent it.
What makes you think the users know which one will be better?
Also, why ask them when Win 8/Win 10 are excellent user surveys on the concept already?
Really? OSX is *nix and open and iOS is locked down. Which are you going to change?
Fine the companies that refuse to do it? Audit the data companies have?
Ah, okay, fine, then the island should look like a "U". Either way, easier choices.

7.16x is closer to 8x than 4x, and what kind of heathen uses non-power-of-two multipliers?

No, coastlines are the second example. Snowflakes are the first.

Also true in guilds where the primary purpose is collective bargaining (e.g. SAG) as opposed to limit competition via standard (e.g. AMA)
The last famous strike (other than various teacher's strikes) in US history was by a guild (The hollywood writer's strike was done by a guild.)
Yeah, I tried to say "fuck your paperwork, but I'd like to use your car without it" to the rental car company, and they refused too!
Sure... that's true. I mean, the difference seems to be fairly semantic and historical, but yeah.
