> Family: “Talent Passport – Family” residence permit granted to spouse of the main applicant, guaranteeing identical family treatment and automatic labor market access (as an employee, business founder, etc.).

I opened the link to see how it would treat families. Much to my surprise, it gives spouses access to the labor market, too.

trvlngsalesmn··on International Entrepreneur Rule
Interesting. Thanks for the background and links. So this is how federal agencies that report to the executive branch legislate. I had always wondered what the actual process was.

When was this passed?
trvlngsalesmn··on Affordable Care
Simple question:

Why is there little or no start up innovation in the insurance space? Why aren't YC17 companies able to attack this?

Hwy 635 in Dallas has a variable-toll expressway lower level.
trvlngsalesmn··on Braess’ paradox
I learned about this in a course titled Dynamics of Complex Networks and Systems taught by Mark Spong, a robotics control theorist active in dynamical systems research. Ever since learning about Braess' Paradox in that course, I have noticed examples of it in the highways of DFW. The simplest case to spot is where an off-ramp feeds directly to the next on-ramp, creating a "shortcut" for drivers who exit and re-enter the highway.

I've tried to make the case that by closing "key" exits on the highway, we could reduce congestion. But who would be responsible for making that likely unpopular decision?
