were it not for the government interfering in the labor market by creating H1-b visa; this so-called crisis would not be occurring
Wait a second. When the government loosens immigration restrictions and lets people work wherever they want, that's supposed to be "interfering in the labor market"?
My point was that removing indents is never OK, with any language, since it makes the code unreadable. In this case, it also made the code uncompilable, but that's just a secondary offense.
"Wasted not" is synonymous with "did not waste". It sounds pretentiously archaic, but it is correct. On the other hand, borking up the whitespace in a Python code sample? That ain't OK at all.
a space station is much more stable than a carrier on a pitching sea.
Correct. And there's no wind to worry about. And you can take your time and do it as slowly as you want - whereas a plane has to keep above a minimum speed or it stalls. In other words, it's a completely different job, I don't even know why we're comparing the two.
Florida holds the title for the craziest state in the Union, beating out the former long-time champion, California. I'm keeping an eye on New Hampshire, though.
The best reason for abolishing the Electoral College: so we won't have to give a fuck about what the people in Florida think.
Happened to a friend of mine a few years ago. His number got mixed up with some guy who did maintenance for a bowling alley. He'd come home and there'd be several frantic messages, telling him that the ball return on lane 6 is jammed. They always called when he was out, so he couldn't tell them it was a wrong number. Not too long after that, the bowling alley closed. Maybe if my friend had fixed their ball return, they could have stayed in business.
Of course, in your infinite wisdom, I'm sure you'd just buy a shipping container full of $100 Chinese tablets, drop it on the school district's doorstep and say "You're all set!"
That actually might not be a bad idea. Just give each kid a tablet, and let them do what they want. I bet the kids can figure out the machines faster than the school's tech support people.
Worse than that: we're talking about things that can't be boiled down to two variables. At least the Laffer curve dealt with things that could easily be measured.
This Tabarrok guy is a puffed-up idiot who likes making charts, because he thinks that's what smart people do. He has a long and prosperous career ahead of him.

noone is alone in hating software patents except the patent trolls.
The patent trolls are alone in hating software patents?
They won't hire you if you don't have job experience, and they won't hire you if you do.
Fair enough. But I still don't know what you're pushing here: Getting rid of H1-B, or opening the borders?

Bringing GWB into this discussion makes exactly as much sense as bringing in Biden.
But will never be able to answer questions like: does a 29-er mtb fit the trunk without folding the back seats.
So? The regular salesman won't know either.
(Just curious: is there any car out there that meets this criteria? And I mean car, not truck or van.)
As did He. He just didn't brag about it: "For I did not speak of my own Accord" - John 12:49

I should have known.

The British Empire did this successfully for hundreds of years. It's a pretty good revenue model, don't knock it.
Both, of course.

He's using a new form of encryption. I bet even the NSA won't be able to crack that one.
how often to you hear of a railway-in-a-tube (ie subway) being delayed by weather?
A few years ago, the London subway system was completely shut down by a snowstorm. I have no idea how they managed that.
Both King Lear and The Tempest are better plays.
The Tempest is merely a British remake of Gilligan's Island.
Without a link, this is just rumor-mongering.
The link goes to The Register. So it's really not much better.
It's not like we export much of anything anymore anyway.
The US is the #2 exporter in the world. $1.6 trillion worth of goods last year, according to Wikipedia.
Sounds much more comfortable and less degrading than flying coach.
How do you talk about hats when you've defined "hat" so broadly that not owning a hat is itself a type of hat?

I was very happy to find an Internet cafÃf© with computers having full size keyboards.
Did you happen to notice if those establishments also supported Unicode?

Stonehenge will last, just watch out for your units of measure.
