Good point. That capitalism has consistently resulted in unimaginable prosperity for ordinary people, while communism has consistently resulted in poverty and oppression, including the violent deaths of over 100 million people in the last century, certainly shouldn't lead you to draw any conclusions about either any more than the failure of astrology to predict the future should lead you write off astrology.
What if aliens show up tomorrow and blow the planet up? There's no evidence for that happening either, but as long as we're pulling scenarios out of our asses, I like mine better.
Of course, by "true cost" you mean the artificial costs that you want government to impose to make fracking more expensive for no reason other than that it offends your sensibilities that consumers want to buy "plastic crap" that you disapprove of and heat their homes inexpensively. What a humanitarian you are.
Let us know when someone implements anything remotely in the same league as Apple's XCode (based on Interface Builder, which first appear ~25 years ago) for designing GUIs using this technique. The fact that it doesn't exist should tell you something.
This is great news. Hopefully, we in the US will get to see what a mess this is in Europe before the rules recently passed by the FCC (which will be tied up in court for years) actually take affect.
I've tried Evernote a bunch of times over the years and always been disappointed. I really wish there was something that worked more like Circus Ponies Notebook, but synced data w/ multiple clients like Evernote does. Oh well, I guess I just need to keep waiting.
You do realize that a) the so-called "mainstream corporate media" has been hysterical about global warming^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hclimate change for twenty years and b) this story is about earthquakes, not climate.
Paul Krugman is not correct or incorrect to the extent that he has studied economics and economic policy. He's correct or incorrect to the extent that he can back up his views with evidence, which he generally can't.
It's amazing to me that otherwise seemingly intelligent people, who would recoil in horror if you suggested that the federal government should regulate software development, actually think that applying government regulations to the Internet that were originally written in the 30's for analog telephone service -- based on regulations written in the 1890's for railroads, will result in anything other than a complete clusterfuck. B-b-but John Oliver said it would protect consumers! I guess this is what happens when you have a generation too young to remember Ma Bell, who get their public policy guidance from comedians.
