>> That’s their right of course.

Except it was Mohammed Asif speaking. You know, one man.

>> So let me get this straight. If I want to publicise something that you find offensive, you should just get over it?

Depends. If the literature was written in such a way to deliberately or effectively cause offense - such as the irrelevent promotion of lap dancing to support crime protection/prevention, purposefully seeking out Jewish or Muslim organizations and requiring them to display irrelevent images of pigs, telling "brown people" to vote a certain way - then no. If, however, it was an accepted and benign cultural image (such a soppy doggie is alert and prevents crime), then the taken offence is the offendee's problem. Just as the offence I find in telling a certain group to vote specifically Tory is, ultimately, my problem.

Individual shops can, I suppose, decline to display certain posters (although refusing to co-operate with Tayside police because of this would be a different matter).

WhereDaughter? — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 07:52:51 -0000

A very interesting element has not been mentioned in all the harrumphs about bias and the stench of moldy old white men in the Harvard administration. Ms. Campbell's fate ultimately rests in the hands of Prof. Evelynn Hammonds, the Dean of Harvard College. As a gay woman of color and an accomplished scientist from the South who grew up in an era somewhat less inclusive than today, Dean Hammonds may know a thing or two about what it means to feel unfairly singled out.

That does not necessarily translate into leniency, however. Sometimes those who have worked hardest to overcome obstacles develop advanced BS-detectors and low tolerances for the sound of whining.

Re: Clam shack clash escalating; Opponents trade accusations over 'iconic' Newburyport building

WhereDaughter? — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:50:10 -0000

I'm not trying to take anything away from him - too often the rules are bent in this city by the rich and powerful. I believe in the rule of law.

According to the city's legal advisors.....

"Without a court decree, Roland's claim of title by adverse possession is not record title and does not constitute proof of ownership ... Since Roland cannot even prove that he has any right of record to even enter onto the Property, let alone establish good title to the Property, it is difficult to see what hardship, if any, Roland would suffer were he not allowed to convert the summer cottage into a year-round single family residence ... it is my opinion that the ZBA may properly find that Roland is not entitled to a variance."

JWells,

When (if) he gets his court decree, then he can apply for his variance. Doesn't his adverse possession need to be hostile ?

only interest in the hearing is that of a taxpayer and
resident. I'm not trying to prevent anything and have
no plans to challenge anything. I am simply concerned

Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns ofsuspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations forhijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance offederal buildings in New York. "

Re: RIAA lawsuits may destroy the music industry

WhereDaughter? — Sun, 21 Sep 2003 02:49:14 -0000

I remember a few years ago there were people both average Joes and high profile folks who were pleading with the entertainment industry in general and the music industry in particular to stop promoting songs that glorified "cop killing" and all sorts of illicit sex. The music industry collectively hid behind the First Amendment, which, by the way won't protect a child if he says Grace over his lunch in a public school. The music industry wound up offering a meaningless and optional ratings system to which nobody really pays any attention. Now, it seems as these people who were promoting all this music encouraging and promoting the attitude, "If it feels good, do it", are, as the Bible puts it, reaping the whirlwind. All of a sudden these people want you and I to start paying attention to the Ten Commandments--well, at least the one that says, "Thou shalt not steal". Of course, these people do not mention the fact that they overprice CD's to beat the band-no pun intended. I would urge anyone downloading music--even if you think it's legal--STOP. Two wrongs do not make a right. But take one more step. DO NOT GO INTO THE RECORD STORES. Before too much time has passed, the music industry is going to have to come up with another explanation of its sagging sales, especially if 50% of people stop downloading and the sales in the stores are still dropping. Maybe they'll be forced to admit that most of the so-called music produced today isn't even worth the price of the free download--and that's BEFORE you get sued.

Re: Designer CMS on Rails @ Dan Rubin’s SuperfluousBanter

WhereDaughter? — Sat, 11 Jun 2005 10:54:26 -0000

I think you are missing the point here. CMSs (and trust me, I've worked on a few in my time!) tend to fall down on the client side, rather than the server side. Rarely does a "Rich text editor" based on MSHTML provide sensible compliant xhtml markup (normally relying on you passing the content through a second parser). And the idea of using "AJAX", or remote scripting as those who are not tainted by buzzwords like to call it, to deliver the content on the client is a little silly. Would you expect every user that came to a site using the CMS to have JS enabled? Let alone that, what if they were not using the main browser (!IE !Moz/FF) what then? Are you just going to feed them some page saying "Sorry we are too elitist to allow you to see this page". I am sure those behind company firewalls, those using PDAs or those using disablility software would thank you kindly for that.

You have not found the correct CMS for you because (a) you want something free (b) you have set your standards/expectations of a CMS too high, or (c) you simply haven't looked well enough and don't have the knowledge to differentiate the good from the bad.

Sorry if this sounds negative, but the issues you raise here are somewhat questionable to say the least.

WhereDaughter? — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:44:00 -0000

I know what you're getting at here, at the same time, this attitude can be (and by certain people, often is) taken too far.

I have a friend who pretty much hates everything popular, and loves anything that's not. I agree, a lot of crap films, books, etc. get attention when they shouldn't, while a lot of great films, books, etc. go unnoticed. However, this isn't always the case. Sometimes, art gains notoriety because it really is good.

The Dark Knight would be one of those films. No, it's certainly not the second coming of Christ that some made it out to be, however, it IS one of the best films of 2008. (although, it's helped by the fact that this has been an abysmal year for film)

How popular something is shouldn't really even come into the equation when judging it. And just as it makes me angry when people assume if something is unpopular, it's not good... it annoys me just as much when people assume that if it's popular, it must not be good.

I have yet to see an externality that couldn't be sovled with private ownership and property rights.

For example, the roads. The roads are like this...Imagine a website that allowed you to download all the music you wanted for only one payment a month. That would be nice, but it wouldn't work. After a while, the demand on the servers would outpace the ability to pay for, and install, new servers. People would download as much as they could to get the most out of that one payment. The ability to download at any reasonable rate would also be effected (like heavy traffic).

That's the same reason why people "drive to much".

aschkan --

Good post, and good point. However, Intel's predatory behavior isn't simply to deny oxygen to AMD. It signals to other potential entrants that their fixed costs will never be recouped -- thus raising the barriers to entry into this industry even further. Intel and AMD are probably more than happy to share their duopoly rents. Hard to prove? Yes. Real phenomenon? Also yes.

Re: If This Is Monopoly In Action, Bring It On

Chris -- so, when Intel launches its latest Xeon processor at $1100 per, is *that* their marginal cost? If so, when they cut their prices for that chip by 30% the following quarter (because AMD undercut them), is that their marginal cost too? Or do we see the p=MC in the next quarter, when Intel introduces a new high end chip and cuts the (formerly) latest and greatest Xeon price again?

Or did you mean long-run average cost?

Look, I would agree that there is competition between Intel and AMD. But they are dancing the dance of some lovely 3-player game (3rd player being the nascent competition) whose equilibrium hasn't been given a name yet. But I can pretty safely say that such equilibrium, when compared to a well-functioning market, entails higher total profits and (possibly -- I'm not as sanguine here) lower total innovation as well.

M. Hodak -

I have no law credentials, so take with a grain of salt. But, my understanding is that since the Brooke Group case established the standard, there has not been a single instance of recoupment proven in a court of law in the U.S. There seem to be other Section 2 violations that are much easier to prove, so why should a plaintiff risk summary judgment by alleging predation? In Europe, I think they use the price-cost test (or per se standards in the case of a firm with established market power) in lieu of recoupment, so there would be no reason for a plaintiff to go that route (though I think arguments were made in the French Telecom case).

Does the failure to prove in a court of law mean that predation does not exist? No. The "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard applicable in a court of law is not applicable as a test of reality. Just ask O.J. Simpson.

"If you can't recoup, your case is poop."

The true counterfactual is unknown. Just think of what you'd actually be using now if there were real competition in the microchip industry. The hard-drive and memory industries are much more competitive -- and there's where the major gains have come. Sure, processors and memory controllers are faster now -- but I would argue that it's the advances in memory and storage that have propelled computing productivity.

BTW -- I'm guessing that in 1991 you probably weren't using the Internet as much as you are now. You know, that communications network developed by the Federal Government. Oh yeah -- the browser you're using to surf the internet is based on government-funded research.

It wouldn't prevent them from inventing a magic time machine to go back and steal the plans for the erbium-doped fiber optic amplifier either.

Point being, any time anyone got close to investing significant capital in inventing such an alternative technology, a monopolist fiber-owner could push down the price of service enough to deter entry. Maybe 2 years down the road, someone gets lucky and invents a new magic technology that supplants the fiber -- but it may be 10, 20 or 100. In the mean-time, the monopolist earns rents by restricting supply and elevating price -- to the detriment of consumers and commerce overall.

Top 1% of AGI Threshold = ~$300,000

Top 1/100th of 1% Threshold = ~$10,000,000

I'd be happy taxing the 13,776 2005 filers in that category who had taxable income over $334 billion (average $24.3 million per filer), and whose average effective average tax rate is about 23.4% (lower than the average rate for people making $200,000-500,000).

Just bringing the top 1/100th of 1% in line with the rest of the top 1% would raise over $3 billion in revenue (and if you honestly believe these people actually adjust their behavior on the margin to become "less productive," well, I can't help you).

Re: A Note on Income Data

WhereDaughter? — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:28:01 -0000

I should have expected this old canard. Try looking at the actual detail from the Monthly Statement of the Public Debt reports. If you did, you'd see that the public, marketable debt *DECREASED* during the years I cited.

The total debt increased because total debt includes annual net surplusses in all of the various government trust funds. That's right -- when the trust funds are doing well (receipts minus outlays are positive) -- as they tend to do when the economy is booming, as it was during the Clinton presidency, the government is required by accounting rules to issue "debt" that the government *owes itself*. It is non-marketable debt, by definition.

The Government Account Series is the primary source of increase in total PDO. Increasing currency in circulation might also contribute, since that too is counted as Public Debt Outstanding -- but currency is expected to increase in a growing economy to prevent deflation.

So, what are these trust funds? Things like the civil service retirement and disability trust fund, DoD Military retirement trust fund, Social Security trust fund, highway trust fund, railroad trust fund, etc. In total, all of these trust funds took in more in revenue than they spent in outlays, and consequently the Government Account Series Debt went up. Social Security isn't the only fund that did well during the Clinton presidency.

See, for example, the January 31, 1999 report (ftp://ftp.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdm011999.pdf)

Re: A Note on Income Data

WhereDaughter? — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 02:54:32 -0000

John Dewey --

And thank you for engaging in a constructive debate.

If the government were only running a surplus on the *unified* budget during that time period, then I might agree with you. But the *on-budget* deficit numbers declined throughout that period, and there was an actual on-budget surplus by 2000. That's not just controlling spending "somewhat." That's frigging huge! You want to give some credit to Gingrich and the Republican Congress. Fine, but recognize that the first deficit-hawkish budget out of Clinton came in 1993, before the Republican Revolution. I will actually go further towards bipartisanship and give some modest credit to George HW Bush's 1990 budget for being hawkish(but it was passed with a Democratic Congress, IIRC).

Furthermore, if you look at that time period, the public debt did decline -- the government was retiring debt. There is no solid evidence that the trust fund "evaporated." The only even-somewhat credible argument I've found supporting your claim was by Sita Nataraj and John Shoven, but their econometric model was extremely sensitive to specification. Alicia Munnell has a very balanced discussion of what happened with the trust fund here: http://www.bc.edu/centers/crr/issues/ib_30.pdf -- she concludes that spending in the late 1990s did not offset much of the gains in the trust-fund. But rather, it's Bush's 2001 tax cuts for the wealthy that made them evaporate.

BTW, Clinton caught holy hell from the Republicans and tax hawks when he and Rubin proposed using the trust fund surpluses to pay down debt. Martin Feldstein went so far as to call Clinton's proposal to pay down debt "a sham," http://www.nber.org/feldstein/wj020199.html</p>

Finally, I will agree with you that demographics was important -- but we needed a booming economy to support that bolus of workers, and under Clinton, that's just what we had.

Frankly, I don't think that Table 1 makes your case -- in fact, it supports my contention about the declining public debt at the end of the Clinton presidency:

(From the table):

Year: "Debt Held by the Public"

1997 3,772.3

1998 3,721.1

1999 3,632.4

2000 3,409.8

2001 3,319.6

BTW -- my "weak explanation" of public debt seems to have been totally misunderstood by you. It was a description of the legally-established accounting methods, together with a reference to a nice, balanced review of the empirical research by Alicia Munnell.

What do I believe in? I believe in the golden rule. I believe in love. I believe in Brett Favre (at least until Sunday). But, in a political-economy realm, I guess I would say that I believe in competition in well-functioning markets, with a role for government where market failure is present and correctable. I won't begrudge you your beliefs, but I can't help but think you're wasting your time and intellectual capital looking for John Galt.

Re: A Note on Income Data

WhereDaughter? — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 09:31:09 -0000

John Dewey

One more followup. Tax revenues increased because baseline economic activity increased. If you believe that the decrease in taxes *caused* the economic activity, then you're in the realm of faith alone. Facts will not support you. Consider the study by Gene Amromin and colleagues at the Fed that compared the European stock and real estate markets to the U.S. over the same time period and found similar patterns of growth, despite the fact that there was NO similar tax cut in Europe at the time. If anything, it was monetary policy that contributed to the high (perhaps temporary) growth rates. The Fed was dumping money into the economy; corporate profits (and profits from flips in the housing market) were raging -- of course receipts were going to increase.

So, I recognize that since the capital gains tax cuts of 2003, capital gains tax receipts have increased(http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/70xx/doc7047/02-23-CapitalGains.pdf), but by 2005, receipts were only about $50 billion, compared to $119 billion in 2000.

But note that receipts also increased for the last 8 or so years of the 1990s, when capital gains tax rates were much higher (statutorily, 28% max up to 1997, then 20% max from 1997 to 2003). See http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdoc.cfm?index=3856&ty...>

(From Table 1. Capital Gains and Capital Gains Taxes, 1976 Through 2000 )

Year: % Change in FY Receipts

1993 20

1994 12
