Loletha Hale ended up in a Georgia jail after trying to remove a squatter from her house. It took almost four months, but in November, Hale finally got a court to rule that Sakemeyia Johnson was squatting in her house. Hale said she thought that meant Johnson would be evicted, so she was surprised to find her still living in the house. It turns out Hale still needs a writ of possession, which the judge has yet to […]
You can say what you want about Elon Musk, but he is able to pinpoint in a single tweet some of the most dysfunctional aspects of our federal government. For instance, he recently noted that “Simplifying the tax code will increase productivity, instead of incentivizing bizarre tax-avoidance behavior.” He’s correct. If President-elect Donald Trump wants to have a lasting impact, he should not simply extend the provisions of the 2017 tax reform; he should use the opportunity for […]
I dug up this post from Cashin’s Comments dated December 31, 2014 ‘Tis the day before New Year’s and despite what you’re hopin’ The folks in the Boardroom say “the full day we’re open” So we’ll buy and we’ll sell as the tape crawls along And though “Bubbly’s” verboten we may still sing a song Two Thousand Fourteen was okay, not really a wow Till a Santa Claus rally took us through Eighteen Thou We lost special […]

The Trump supporters got really upset, and so did a lot of Americans in the Computer Science subreddit. I get the impression that many Democrats are not huge fans of H1B visas either. but from an Austrian economics […]

“The market economy is a man-made mode of acting under the division of labor. But this does not imply that it is something accidental or artificial and could be replaced by another mode. The market economy is the product of a long evolutionary process. It is the outcome of man’s endeavors to adjust his action in the best possible way to the given conditions of his environment that he cannot alter. It is the strategy, as it were, […]

I believe in network of private cities, preferably a semi democratic ones where the number of shareholders are large and the shareholders are those mainly living in the cities. It’s easy to make. Turn voters into shareholders and run the cities for profit. It”s not hard to convince people to be selfish and profit maximizing. Convincing a group of voters maybe tough but do able. But some people want pure ancapnistan. Fine. How many? Many. So there is […]
EFF has been sounding the alarm on algorithmic decision making (ADM) technologies for years. ADMs use data and predefined rules or models to make or support decisions, often with minimal human involvement, and in 2024, the topic has been more active than ever before, with landlords, employers, regulators, and police adopting new tools that have the potential to impact both personal freedom and access to necessities like medicine and housing. This year, we wrote detailed reports and comments […]
