I'm sure the sale of marijuana for use in the study would probably run afoul of the good old commerce clause that lets the federal government regulate sale of just about everything.

Sounds like you want the Samsung Galaxy X[0]. If it runs Dex (unclear right now) you'll get desktop Linux in a foldable phone with bluetooth capabilities. I believe the screen is going to be 7.3" but not sure if that's unfolded or folded.

Entirely up to each business. You could spread the increase in costs out to all clients and hope that the increase on those that stay makes up for the decrease from those that leave. You could charge it all to MS who is likely your biggest customer. Or any combination in between. It's a calculation that each company would have to make for itself.

I haven't seen that episode but there were two things that really got the trouble started. First was funneling money from the payday loan company to fund his racing team. The other was his brother Joel selling fake debt to collectors claiming it came from Scott or one of the AMG portfolio companies. A whole lot of people that never had a loan suddenly started getting calls from debt collectors. Not to mention those debt collectors were pissed when they found out it was fake and/or sold to multiple other collectors.

That part I'm aware of. My question was not in reference to payday loans or the Tuckers. If a legit tribal company filed this patent, would the ruling be the same? Or does it matter that the patent was "tribal" only in an attempt to get around the review?

Keep in mind that Scott Tucker was convicted of mail fraud and making false statements to a bank long before starting his payday loan business. His brother Joel has also been charged (not sure if convicted) with a few felonies. The other brother Blaine committed suicide when the payday loan business where he was partners with Scott and worked with their mother started being investigated. Seems like the entire family was just a bunch of assholes and the tribal business was just a way to enable that.

Related to the article, if a company was a legit tribal company and not just fictionally owned/run by the tribe, would this ruling still make sense? Or does it only hold if a non-tribal company is trying to use the tribe to skirt laws?

That minimum wage government child care worker would put a whole bunch of private sector child care workers out of a job because the government can sell their child care services for cheaper than that for profit child care company can even ignoring the fact that the government run child care will be entirely tax payer funded.

There's quite a few jobs for which the government rightfully has a monopoly. I certainly wouldn't want the fire/police forces to be private. We had that and saw the problems it created. Same goes for the military. I'm not aware of an example of a private IRS or judicial system at a national level but I can't possibly see that going well either.

So yes it's a matter of degree but I disagree with you strongly on where to draw the line.

All of the examples you gave of jobs that government should be paying people to do are jobs that are already done in the private sector. Tutoring and child care alone are very large industries.

The biggest issue with your proposal is that if those employees paid by the government to do these jobs are paid less than the private sector, you'll put the private sector out of business. If they're paid the same or better, you would need strong incentives to make them go find a different job instead of keeping a market rate job that is assured to never go away.

Can you explain why that would make a difference in the effectiveness of the policies?

It's not Windows but Samsung's Dex platform will let you run Linux on your phone and then connect to a monitor, keyboard, mouse via dock so that you can carry your desktop around with you in your pocket.

I've had multiple employers tell me that it's a firing offense to discuss pay with my coworkers. Most people don't know if that's legal or not however and just remember that HR or the employee handbook said not to discuss what they get paid or they'll be fired.

Mainly to prevent inflation from getting too bad. We've got very low unemployment (among those actively looking for work) and still have excess amounts of capital sloshing around combined with the tax breaks. They're trying to keep the economy growing at a steady pace instead of taking off like a rocket only to crash land later.

Short and long term interest rates in this case are for US Treasury Bonds that mature at different lengths of time. Short term bonds tend to have lower interest rates since you're taking less risk that your money will be tied up when the economy grows at a faster pace. If you invest in long term bonds and the economy hits a growth spurt, your money is stuck for a much longer period of time earning less interest than if you had invested in something other than that bond.

Edit: Missed the first question in your post. The Federal Reserve is essentially buying fewer Treasury Bonds when the bonds it currently holds matures. Instead of reinvesting the payoff + interest that it received for those bonds, it is now just taking that money and essentially keeping it out of circulation.

Not op but The New York Times has some interesting layout options available to their writers and editors. You can see a small sampling of it in https://open.nytimes.com/building-a-text-editor-for-a-digita... which is written by one of the developers of their new news room text editor.

They're already considering buying theaters. Last week it was reported that they're looking at multiple chains including Landmark (http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-landmark-...).

At the upper end of that age range, the Chronicles of Chaos (https://smile.amazon.com/Orphans-Chaos-Chronicles-John-Wrigh...) is an excellent trilogy. One of my favorite parts about the series is that each of the main characters has a very distinct way of looking at the world (logic, spirits, etc) that helps start conversations about understanding other peoples' point of view.

I think you just hit on part of why they weren't attracting VC money the last decade of easy capital in your second sentence. VCs were afraid of spreading themselves out so they just continued investing in NYC/SF. If the mantra is "don't spread your investments out geographically" and you're already heavily invested in an area, how do people not from that area attract your money?

Now that the traditional startup hotspots are over saturated with investors, those who can't set the best terms for themselves in those areas are finally realizing they can likely get better terms in places that aren't currently competing as heavily for VC money.

I've used https://www.rekonect.com/ (magnetic notebook & paper) for solving precisely this problem. New page for each project/meeting and then just pull it out and slot it in to the correct spot. Can be done cheaper with a 3 ring binder but cheaper isn't always the goal.

You can tell the Typescript compiler to generate source maps that allow you to debug your Typescript code in the browser with a single configuration item in tsconfig.json. Chrome (and maybe Firefox?) will download them by default when you open up the debugger.

I hadn't noticed that I could provide a gist. Just saw that it had Github/Bitbucket integration and went to try that out. I was disappointed when I saw how much control I'd have to allow in order to use that integration and didn't go back to see if there were other options.

Aside from being more thorough in my inspection of the site, it might help to make that portion of the site more obvious given how many people came to this thread and made the same general comment about security/permissions.

The service looks awesome and I really want to order some posters for my company. However, I can't grant the kind of access that is being asked for to a private company repository.

The idea of allowing a someone to have the ability to administer/transfer/delete company repositories so that we can print some neat posters is rather unsettling.
