Have you taken public transit in Germany? I've never experienced a late or dirty train.

Have you checked out pet sets[1]? The last couple of kube releases have introduced some really nice work to help with these cases

I agree. I think it looks great and I'm pretty excited about using the new interface.

I do more than just code. I love working with photography and audio/video editing and this new touch bar looks amazing.

I also travel a lot, so this trend of making smaller, lighter machines is a huge plus.

Your view on this situation is a bit narrow.

This is a telling sentence. "Shortly after the launch I was contacted by many artists, mostly from China (they already saturate other marketplaces like eBay, Alibaba, and Etsy)."

He opened a new market with new demand supplying the artists in China with more work.

Chrome does not obey cache headers on refresh, I think they assume something is wrong if you are hitting the refresh button and fetch all files from the server.

I can't really blame firefox for obeying the headers that the server sent them.

Here is an in depth look into how the state prevented competition in regards to AT&T. http://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/ca...

In no way is the free market responsible for the AT&T monopoly.

So... Your argument is, if the thing taking your money provides you with some benefit it's moral?

I've been cooking rice like this for the last 15 years. I recently bought a Zojirushi rice cooker and I now regret not getting one sooner. The Zojirushi makes far superior rice than I ever managed and it makes it perfect every time. Not to mention it also cooks mixed/brown/sushi/grits/steel cut oats perfectly as well. Throw in the fact that I can use the timer to have steel cut oats ready when I wake up in the morning make it worth every penny.

You are describing the worst summer in Austin. Last summer was much cooler.

Maybe I don't care about the weirdness as much as you, but I've lived in Austin for the last 8 years and I think it's only getting better. Rent has gone up but it's nothing compared to the bay area or other large tech cities especially considering that salaries are in the same ballpark.

Spending vast amounts of money on interstates is a waste. Railroads are a much better solution than a fleet of 18 wheelers. If you had to pay the actual cost of driving accross the country, high speed rail becomes a viable option.

Too much federal money goes to subsidizing the automobile/roads as a means of transportation. Drivers should bare more of the cost of driving, then a real market could emerge in mass transit. This would also eliminate an immense amount of energy usage

I'm disputing the "culture" claim. The vast majority of people don't behave this way. Most people have a day job and live life on the weekend. Inflation forces people to invest (usually in the stock market) to avoid losing the value of their money in the future. Whomever manages their money is going to try to get the best return. This cycle makes available vast amounts of capital to be invested in something.

This is a market reaction to inflation, with very little to do with culture.

Not sure we are in disagreement. The cause is monetary policy. More money equals growth in the economy it also causes inflation, forcing people to protect their money by investing.

This was not mentioned in the article. The need to make more money is a symptom not the cause.

If your money does not make you money, you are losing money. This article neglects inflation and monetary policy completely.

There are more banks then ever, because it's more profitable to be a bank than ever before. We have had almost an entire decade of 0% interests rates allowing banks to make incredible sums of money.

I think you are confusing limiting with compression.

It's a terrible policy. Have you looked into the gender imbalance in China? Google "China gender imbalance"

This policy will hurt China for decades.

Some states are "at will" meaning they can fire you with no cause.

"It's an actual chemical imbalance"

It's actually a hypothesis that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance.

I don't think he is agreeing with you at all. The state just spent the social security surplus instead of going into debt. If you followed Keynesian policy you would of saved the money caused by the boom.

Almost the entire economic expansion after WWII came from the middel class. The rates you link to are referring to the top marginal rate which do not affect the middle class.

There is also a rather important paragraph at the bottom that I think you missed.

> "This table contains a number of simplifications and ignores a number of factors, such as a maximum tax on earned income of 50 percent when the top rate was 70 percent and the current increase in rates due to income-related reductions in value of itemized deductions. Perhaps most importantly it ignores the large increases in percentage of returns that were subject to the top rate".

The US tax code is so complicated you can't just look at some percentage and come to any sort of accurate conclusion. I would say the main factor in how much a given person pays in taxes depends mostly on their accountant.

You should also take into account most of the world was in shambles was when the war ended which gave the US a huge economic advantage.
