I sure would but you have to cross that personal security barrier first! People need to have a ce thousand in the bank so they can write a check to get furnace replaced in February when it fails. Only then can they start putting their extra savings into investments. It's easy for me and likely you to forget just how hard putting away even a few grand is for lots of people.
The problem for 99%ers isnt inflation so much as a stagnant wage.
I am not sure I'd even agree with that. Wages *should* inflate with everything else; the fact that they don't suggests one of two things to me, though there are probably more reasons:
Productivity increases due to automation are enabling business to use less labor while still increasing production. We are not seeing the enhance wealth creation of previous technical revolutions because the labor force does not have the skills to broadly shift to other activities that would further raise productivity; even though they are now available for allocation to those activities. So while the labor market is not actually contracting and I think may never actually contract, we do have lots of working age individuals whose skill sets are to obsolete to employ in sufficient number.
Monetary policy is deliberately unevenly driving inflation to select asset classes. This I think is what is creating the real structural problems our economy faces. I don't know if the architects of these policies are maliciously seeking to create bigger inequalities or if they actually think these policies have macro benefit.
At the micro level wage stagnation, is NOT as big a problem as inflation, for most people. The idea that if you had 2% wage growth along with 2% inflation everywhere else things would remain even ignores the fact that peoples savings are devalued. This idea that constant inflation is a good thing is policy that is at the very core of class warfare. It ensures working class people never get to retire and prevents them getting ahead in that they can't amass enough liquidity for personal security and then move on to investing because the amount of liquidity they need is constantly increasing.
and Florida (a whopping 50% of Florida's economy consists of net transfers).
Just curious does that number include SS payments to individuals? For the sake of argument if it does SS is national program after all, and Florida tends to have lots of retirees relocating to it.
Sure they have adopted some policies that make it more favorable for that demographic but that is because the retirees were already there to vote for them; so it might be less fair to tar Florida with the same "hand in the federal cookie jar" brush as MS, and SC.
Either you are not looking very hard, or you are basement dweller raiding your parents fridge. Seriously if you actually track what your spending on groceries, gasoline, clothing, and healthcare; I would be STUNNED if you still claim there is deflation.
The only deflation out there in recent years has been in heating costs (for folks using nat gas) and electricity in some areas. Housing had its big gaps down in 2008-2010, but has pretty well been inflating if slowly since that time. I don't rent but friends tell me rents have gone way up everywhere and its keeping them in their current apartments.
There has been no deflation in the things 99%ers spend their money on other than housing. I don't care what the FED claims; because their numbers are fucking retarded, I don't buy a new TV every week, I sure as hell do buy bread and gasoline though.
You know how you can get that information you take a god damned poll. You don't invade people's privacy without their knowing.
This is the sort of thing that makes me wish the GOP luck in blocking Obama's appointments.
'Would you object to getting permission from consumers, those people who you work for, before you collect and monitor their information?' Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., asked Cordray. 'That would make it impossible to get the data,' Cordray replied."
Seriously, people who think like Cordray should be tar'ed and feathered and left to die in the street.
Because they don't have a strong monopoly position. They are a big player yes, but Arista, Juniper, PaloAlto, HP, Aruba, Extreem, Enterasys the list is long. Cisco has pretty serious competition in almost every domain they play in. In some domains like Data Center distribution they are not even the leader.
The trouble is with radio you can't really do that, for the most part whatever is loudest wins. 802.11[abgn] you have to recognize the old carrier, and more challenging the old implementations have to recognize your carrier. Otherwise they will think you are noise and turn their radios up to the highest transmit powers.
Because you would need to stay carrier compatible that is probably major constraint building a more efficient protocol.
And the reason this story is in the news is because internal combustion engines never have problems in cold weather.
I don't think most people are unaware or haven't experienced cold weather related problems with traditional ICE powered cars. We also know most of the time (modern cars anyway) they work just fine even in very cold conditions. On the other hand many of us have little or no experience with pure electric cars. So the failure modes and frequencies are in fact interesting whatever they may be, because my guess is at some point many of us will own an all electric car.
Because many of us are interested. Tesla, love'em or hate'm are trying to sell a pure electric car without the compromises at a price at least a segment of the mass market can afford. There are ton's of technical hurdles to doing that and its interesting to watch theory and design encounter real world conditions.
Tesla is somewhat unique in this area too, Yes there is all electric Leaf and that strange i-Miev thing but neither of those comes anywhere near offering the range and performance characteristics of what most of us Americans expect from our ICE powered vehicles, in other words they make compromises, where as most Slashdoter's would be quite pleased with the Tesla compared to their current ride, provided it continues to live up to expectations.
I hope the authors sue the fuck out if the NSA for defamation. Releasing a faulty product proporting to be their own. I say that even though as a tax payer I am the one who will really pay the damages. This sort of thing isn't ok and deserves public shaming
Right those guys are good at exactly one thing for the most part, buzzword BINGO. They get in before the institutional folks do, and get out as they in turn enter. Those guys are good at following the billionaire "smart money" and knowing how to get at as the second tier and retail folks buy in. Then the music stops
I disagree, humans are arbitrary and capricious one moment Google engineer is something people are hoping their kids aspire to be the next they are attacking the company bus and it's not Goolgle the institution that changed.
No I think any "intelligentence" that does not attempt to place itself outside the dependence and perhaps eventually even influence of humans probably isn't intelligent at all, it will just be some expert system using big data and algorithms designed by humans to mimic intelligence. It will just be a better Watson impressive in terms of analytical ability, but not what I would call "intellectual"
Unless you are an adorable little puppy or kitten existing at the whim of humans isn't a good strategy and even then it's still risky.
Focus on stuff basic EM stuff. Its pretty much the foundation of which all modern electrics rest upon. First build a little electric motor, an iron ring some a dowel for the shaft some Farris nails and wire for manually winding. They will get the concept of EM. Then build a simple wired telegraph, a couple code keys and battery. Next talk about radio. Trying to talk to an 8 year old about radio propagation is tough, but building a crude wireless telegraph (keep the power low) is something that will stick with them.
To introduce computers build a little quiz show buzzer system with some nice big loud clanking relays, that lock everyone else out after someone buzzed in, until its reset, that's an AND gate, then show them a chip with some number of similar gates on it. Make a bread board version of that game where you have the fox, the chicken and corn and have to cross the river.
If you introduce these concepts along side simple exercises kids will love it. If they don't understand all the physics of it right away don't worry, they will make the connections later with more complex technologies and it will greatly accelerate their understanding of those.
Succeeding in business is about being in the right place at the right time. Some do it buy luck others do it by maneuvering into position. Bill did the latter as did Jobs, they had a gift of vision knowing where they needed to be with what product offering. Sure he made some missteps latter but nobody has a perfect record if they play they game for long, overall though it's real clear Bill has a strong business sense, If anyone could do it today, and now that the industry has matured I am not so sure they could, it would be Bill.
Are local tax payers footing the bill for the enhanced police presence? Is every America paying to have TSA goons and FBI thugs swarming about? Or are the NFL and TV broadcasters picking up at least some of the tab?

How do think a battery works exactly?
Or is this years model S using some sort of super capacitor now?
Given that environment, I can see why Obama won't fire the guy. There's a chance Obama would not get a replacement confirmed by the end of his term.
That sounds like an ideal outcome to me.
