  If we disallowed margin loans from brokerage accounts then the uber wealthy would be forced to pay more taxes. We can easily avoid impacting the middle class with marginal tax brackets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam doesn’t want to pay arbitration fees, tells gamers to sue instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, it looks like the win rate for consumers in arbitration is less than 1%. I’m not sure what consumers win rate is in court but it must be better than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam doesn’t want to pay arbitration fees, tells gamers to sue instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A law firm was trying to extort Valve with 75k arbitration claims which would cost $3k per claim ($225mm total). As an alternative they offered to settle for $2.9k per claimant.

  In the 5 years since the binding arbitration was introduced valve has had only 3 arbitration cases and won all three.

  Summarized from the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S. that don't come with a requirement that drivers watch the road⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, it only works when certain conditions are met.

  Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on spec ific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven’t been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states.
