- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 1 week ago:
Not exactly a solution for the ultra rich oligarchs, but a progressive consumption tax would be a good policy. It would be applied as a sales tax on everything, everyone would get regular rebate checks to cancel out the tax on spending up to the exemption. It could make all the megayachts more expensive.

Wheat is a plant. If wheat was a vegetable we wouldn’t need the distinction between plant and vegetable.
- Comment on Start-up idea 1 month ago:
Y’all are going to hate this, but IMO a more viable solution is a subscription model. The more reliable an appliance is, the less you spend on it in the long run, so less profit for the manufacturer. With a subscription, the more reliable they make it, the more profit they get. Then you just need sufficient competition to keep the subscription prices low.

That coin is clever because some people would rather keep the coin and the coin probably costs less to make than the Big Mac.

- Comment on Word. 3 months ago:
Even better, you can create a “Hybrid PDF” which embeds a second copy of the file in ODT format inside the PDF. This makes it re-editable.
Word supports ODT but it doesn’t support reading these ODT files embedded in PDFs though.

- Comment on Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough 3 months ago:
The point of the Kin was that it was supposed to create a new service tier in between dumb phones and smart phones with expensive plans. At the time phones came with 2 year contracts that subsidized the cost of the phone. A basic plan came with $175 worth of subsidy which covered a dumb phone. If you added $30/month for unlimited data, you would get $350 off the the up front cost of a smart phone.
Microsoft’s idea was that parents didn’t want to pay that much for a smart phone for their teens. But a teen would get plenty of benefit for a something in between which would allow them to use a non SMS messaging service and browse social media. Plus it had a keyboard.
It’s still Verizon’s fault. But it wasn’t lack of promotion. The Kin didn’t make sense without the accompanying plan.
