100% on target. The Intel culture was a big contributor to Intel fall.

And after the years of insurance premiums going through the roof, you still consider Obamacare a success story?

There is a big difference between academic diploma / position and being educated. The gap was clearly demonstrated recently by Claudine Gay.

You have lost me. I cannot find a connection between your post and the op description of how NPR reported the events mentioned. Can you enlighten me?

Space X is proving without any doubt that the space exploration can be done significantly cheaper by private company.

And whenever gov allows private entities the service is better and cheaper.

Can you give me one example of government wealth creation?

Why I need to create an account before I can even try it?

That is a deal breaker for me. I use auto-fill extensively and my browsing is 50/50 Mac and iPad so having a separate set of passwords on Mac and iPad is super annoying.

At this point it does not matter.

If this is true why NYT published the following:

“Public Broadcasters Fear ‘Collapse’ if U.S. Drops Support,” announced a New York Times headline in March of 2017. Michael Grynbaum and Ben Sisario reported for the Times:

Public radio and television broadcasters are girding for battle after the Trump administration proposed a drastic cutback that they have long dreaded: the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The potential elimination of about $445 million in annual funding, which helps local TV and radio stations subscribe to NPR and Public Broadcasting Service programming, could be devastating for affiliates in smaller markets that already operate on a shoestring budget.

Tell it to Apple.

A man needs CPR, post a question on Hacker News, still waits for discussion to converge.

You do not call security updates that you get to your computer a recall of your computer, do you?

Hardware and MacOS is the only platform with modern chipset.

Good reminder that I need to cancel my account.

Well quelle surprise - when you close the schools for two years you doom the generation of kinds.

The cost of lockdowns.

Not surprising. They would have been cancelled if they did not. Nowadays if you not actively against it you are obviously guilty.

Tax cuts are an effective way to bolster a weak economy and create jobs—as long as they are targeted at the bottom 90% of income earners. - findings from NBER - https://www.nber.org/papers/w21035

Nope. Tax cuts as shown throughout history increase growth and inflation tends to be low during high growth since there is an rise in production and productivity.

Also it is good to keep in mind the following [0] from Matt Ridley.

Honest question: what is wrong with Essential Scrum?

Do you know how they are generating electricity?

Or not.

It is tragic but what this has to do with forcing kids to wear mask? Sweden hit zero COVID death months ago, even though they never closed elementary schools and did not require masks. Children bear an incredibly small health risk with respect to the virus. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics suggests “children continue to face a far greater risk of critical illness from influenza than from COVID-19. In addition, children are unlikely to spread the virus. The WHO’s chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, recently told the BBC that children appear to be “less capable” of spreading the virus than adults. In addition, the WHO has not observed any significant outbreaks that can be linked to regular school attendance.

Psychological harm caused by forcing mask on young children is well documented. So forcing something on them that has no positive effect matters a lot.
