You don't have to go that far back. See the recent Surfside tragedy. Israel sent an elite rescue team and set up relief centers to assist displaced persons, regardless if they were Israeli or not.
Do you propose IP be treated similarly to real property? Maybe require a permit from the government before one writes a book or song to ensure that work will be in the public interest?
The Wikimedia Foundation hosts collaborative projects which are not encyclopedias. WikiNews for instance cuts right into the heart of what EC is trying to stop. Really shows how much thought the EC put into their "arbitrary exceptions to appease powerful entities" strategy.
I think it is interesting to reflect on the idea that high technology builds on top of primitive technology. Just as he uses past tools to make more complex tools, every human era of technology builds upon the last. You could say primitive stone tools are in the recipe for developing an ICBM or a semiconductor if you go back far enough.
Not only can chaos be exhibited in fully deterministic systems, it can be exhibited in absurdly simple systems. The logistic map is an incredibly simple iterated function that exhibits highly chaotic behavior.
It remains one of most mysterious things in mathematics, as far as I can tell. Studying it has consumed a lot of very smart people's careers.
There are some corporate structures that seem better suited for owning real estate, like a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Maybe there is a proxy "Google REIT" that is 100% owned by Google. Or some other proxy entity accounting stuff going on, such that Google is not "technically" the owner of the building, but a subsidiary with a different tax structure. I think that's what the parent meant.
IPOs tend to be a lot more valuable. It’s more an implication of a successful exit. In either case, you have to pay off your debt and preferred stockholders before you see a dime from a liquidation event. A low value liquidation can leave zero on the table for common stock holders.
It happens when practitioners generalize theorems to scenarios that look similar but don't apply. The common pattern is misapplying an infinite set theorem to finite set case. If you don't know about the theorem in question to begin with, there is no way for you to misrepresent it.
Probably something to do with the rent seeking problem. It’s wealth tied mostly to possessing rights to exploit valuable land, not to the labor or ingenuity of people.
>He could not have done them if Fuji hadn't manufactured the tapes. Did he get Fuji's permission to use their product's likeness?
This is actually a huge issue here, since the photo is a perfect replica of their tape design with very little additional creativity. Photographers do have to get rights if the stuff they photograph is the creative expression of others.
I would start with diagnosing and prescribing (possibly computer/statistics assisted) versus trying to tackle surgery first. I think you'll find that surgery is considered the hardest skill for a MD to obtain. Plus anyone getting cut up will want someone who REALLY knows what they are doing.
This right. In fact CVS MinuteClinics are usually manned by nurse practitioners. They can do many things typically associated with internal/family medicine.
Importantly, the costs of our medical system relative to other systems will never be fixed until we fix this problem. But this is the hardest problem to fix, because nobody wants to talk about it. It's political suicide.
Part of this is because medical professors make a salary that is at least twice (and usually higher) what the next highest paid professor at a university makes. You fix the salary program across the board, and medical school will become cheaper as well.
Their gross pay is way higher then $250,000. Actually $250,000 is the net salary after all expenses, and that's about right for not particularly enterprising doctors (ie. internal medicine, no surgery).
