You end up with useless processors, and you are working against the market. Converting increases the demand for light and decreases the demand for heavy, which will at least directionally improve the supply cost advantage of the heavy.

Productivity has always imposed an upper limit on wages.

It’s more complex than that. When universities want to give raises to admin, they simply raise prices. The ability of the university to raise prices depends on many factors.

Those wages are far below the upper limit imposed by the value of college education...

That it's possibly signaling rather than something more concrete doesn't really matter to the economic analysis.

Why would you forego bodily injury liability coverage? Most states require it, and it makes sense if you have even modest assets.

The medical portion of my insurance that covers me (unlimited PIP) is like $17 a month, I can't see driving much and not spending that, even with relatively limited expectations for how much easier it might make things.

Sorry, I meant I forego Personal Injury Protection, not Bodily Injury. I purchase the maximum amount of bodily injury (I forget if it’s $250k or $500k, but it’s up there).

Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!

Build enough housing and all of the sudden it isn't such a sure thing investment.

Not easy to do of course, but the problems that come with building more housing are better then the problems we have now.

That may be the case but it would still be a good idea to look at regulating these run away feedback loops writ large so that people can't just play a game of whack-a-mole where they play the same old tricks in different sectors or invent whole new mediums to play the same old games afresh

Are there downsides to OneDrive?

I can see being resistant to change, haven't had issues with it (and have benefitted from the auto save quite a lot).

It's not at all about being "resistant to change". OneDrive has been around long enough that it doesn't really count as "change" anymore.

There are downsides to OneDrive. Topping the list is the risk of data loss. Every dev here has at least one story of OneDrive getting confused in a way that led to data loss (that's usually what got them to start avoiding using it). It can also be inconvenient and get in the way in more minor ways, such as causing path confusion with some applications.

The benefits, at least where I work, are pretty minimal. So, on the whole, people tend to keep their documents in unsynced folders. The only people I've talked to here that have anything positive to say about it are managers.

Is this the SharePoint backed OneDrive that you get with a business subscription?

I've had some irritations with it, but overall having versioning has been a much bigger benefit than the hassle.

The newer air source models have good performance well below freezing. Older models didn't really.

Costs also matter. Some relatives that are on the fairly expensive rural electric operator around here installed a ground source heat pump, at pretty high up front cost. They wouldn't have bothered if they had a natural gas hookup.

Modern process controls allow us to hit intended outcomes consistently at lower costs. But that doesn't mean the intended outcomes are always better that what you would aim for with less capability.

There are real customers that want cost reductions that lead to reduced lifetimes, because they have no intention of using the thing they are buying for decades. It isn't just manufacturers looking to make money through planned obsolescence.

My understanding is that they already make more money on the ad tiers.

(So the price increases are about finding the revenue maximizing price for the ad free tiers, not about overall profit)

My hn comments are a better (and probably not particularly good) view into my personality than any data the government could conceivably have collected.

If what you say is true, why should we fear their bizarre mind control fantasy?

Not every person has bared their soul on HN.

Yeah, I haven't either. That's my point.
