I'm assuming the Fed will not raise interest rates now.

It's not so uncommon to see something like that.

Although somewhat different, Berkshire Hathaway has its own stock and holdings in other companies such as Kraft or Coca-Cola.

I wonder if 'leaked' could've been replaced by 'announced'

Work never ends.

If we 'developed' the world, why not develop other planets and so on and so forth.

Your utopia is close to North Korea's.

All of this discussion brings me to the Stanford Prison Experiment

In such hierarchical systems, the issue goes beyond abuse itself, bringing deinvidualization and loss of personal identity.

That partially explains why some workers won't leave the company even for a similar/higher salary.

Just as bad, I see many developers leaving their Rails app with production secret key.

It just takes more time.

True. Also, many parts of North Bay are fairly affordable, but commuting time may be as much as ~1h with no public transportation.

Both Olympics and World Cup antidemocratic means for corruption, but are justified with a phony belief in nationalism and keynesianism.

Brazil was the perfect example of how these events can hurt citizens and the economy:

Ad hominem.

One could argue the same about Paul Krugman.

This is a very simplistic view of capitalism and ignores larger issues.

One ignored issue is inflation itself. Although it had a profound impact in the middle class, it has nothing to do with 'evil business owners' trying to make more money.

Then, unions shouldn't bargain with monopolistic corporations. Why? Because monopolistic corporations shouldn't exist 99% of the time. That's the root of the problem, not the lack of analogous monopolistic labor unions.

The only jobs you need a college education are the ones that are highly technical, leaning towards Academia.

Most engineers and analysts could learn on the job or with specializations(no longer than a few months).

Might be a rare experience, but as a South American in an U.S university, I couldn't relate to many American Latinos for their neurotic concern with micro aggressions.

Jokes that would be seen as amusing in my country were taken as a personal insult and avoided at all costs. Many interesting non-latinos would gradually be excluded for no reason.

Ironically, I fostered relationships with apparently "racist white males" who were more concerned with the content of conversations than 'fighting the enemy'.

When most women think " Ew, a dadbod" ,it's expected they will encounter the most "despicable" kind of men.

Such paradigm is not a consequence of a misogyny; quite the other way around.

Downvoting me won't change this.

Simple explanation by quoting Nick Szabo:

"Smart contracts go beyond the vending machine in proposing to embed contracts in all sorts of property that is valuable and controlled by digital means."

Did you use/abuse caffeine/ritalin/..?

I just can't see it as something positive.

This is signaling that monopolies have massive power in their industry horizontals. 'To compete', they must take over another industry horizontal.

There's a difference between natural monopolies and government-backed/tied monopolies.

I'd criticize the methodology of such survey.

Asking 'Is FB the internet?' has different meaning in these countries.

A major problem while discussing inequality is that many lose objectivity and start blaming X/Y party.

Whether right or left, I can think of a dozen issues both could work on: end lobbying; lower taxes for, at least, the middle class; ending/avoiding malicious international trade deals; end bureaucratic BS,...

While in SV, I couldn't understand the hate towards East Bay: it's fairly priced, close to the 'hub' and not as violent as otherwise portrayed.

Could anyone elaborate?

A large reason for that is a leveraged economy.

I still remember how hard it was to build up enough credit to move beyond prepaid cellphones.

You're not understanding the concept of enforcement and regulation: it is supposed to be a barrier of entry.

I hope this link doesn't get flagged.

In HN, I've been seeing a lot of links with useful information be unnecessarily flagged by ideologists.

>not hide behind the cover of an authoritarian regime

Is the White House this much hostile towards Russia?

Besides from Iran or North Korea, I'd never expect diplomats to be as straightforward as in this statement.

The Fed does indirectly props up stock market valuation by 'encouraging spending and investment through moderate inflation'.

First, it's irrelevant to my point whether evolutionary psychology is not a hard science.

When someone ignores, prohibits or shame a field using name-calling and fallacious axioms, arguments/debates are irrelevant and you have to run.

Secondly, what you've described is a problem in the social sciences not exclusive to evolutionary psychology. Some economic theories, for example, are largely debatable and, for some scholars, full of baseless speculation.

Is the Pro Rata agreement going to work only after receiving further funding or is it once you join the program?

Couldnt that keep outside investors away?

Hm...probably not.

Voting rings undermine the exposure of truly successful products, while giving preference to a possibly inferior friend's product.

You seem to be appending an ideology to a political philosophy that is neutral on how gender is perceived.

What you take as 'anarchism' is merely anarcha-feminism(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcha-feminism).

Anarchism itself got started over 2000 years ago and could also be compatible within a society where women is seen as 'property'
