Rent seeking refers to economic rent, which is not the same thing as "housing rent". It has a very specific definition when used in the context of economic rent seeking. Renting out houses for people to live in is not rent seeking.
How does any kind of fine for PG&E not end up being a regressive tax? As long as they are the only supplier in NorCal the costs will just be passed on to all NorCal residents.
> That would work if, like golang, bazel was the "default" package manager for everyone. Right now it's not easy to get, for example, vulkan or muslc or qt as a bazel package.
I agree, but I don't think a "Bazel management system" would solve this issue, because the problem is people buying into bazel in the first place
> It's also not easy to publish a version of your package (A) that depends on another package (B). This would create a diamond-problem like situation where your package (C) depends on both packages (A->B, C->A, C->B). So, some code needs to resolve these issues and reproducible identify the exact hashs of everything to pull in to make it a not-manual process.
This is a good point. However, I think realistically, effort would be better spent currently on making it easy to bazelize existing code. I have (unfortunately) never been able to pull an external library without manually bazelizing it, and this only actually ends up becoming a problem when bazel picks up enough momentum in OSS that you are likely to find a external library that is already bazelised.
Github is already a bazel package management system though? If the package is a bazel workspace all you need to do is add a http_archive rule pointing to that github repo
The point is that there is no idle fee. The legislation just states the minimum required wage for time and miles spent with a passenger, as well as a $5/trip minimum.
> While stocks may have some intrinsic value, it is commonly acknowledged that their value as assets is substantially lower than their stock market price. Moreover companies continue to buy their own stocks further reducing the value of stocks as assets.
This is not really relevant. Companies have larger market caps than their intrinsic assets because people trade on discounted cash flow.
> Any small players (yes that means you and me) can easily lose their shirt in a down turn as we do not have reserve assets or other means (hedge funds) and are not able to participate in the next hand.
1. There's no mechanism that forces you to "call" a bet in investing. It's not winner takes all.
2. Why can't you allocate your bond/equity split such that you do have reserve assets?
