The Paradox of Choice - Why More Is Less is a 2004 book by American
psychologist Barry Schwartz. In the book, Schwartz argues that eliminating
consumer choices can greatly reduce anxiety for shoppers.
Autonomy and Freedom of choice are critical to our well being, and choice is
critical to freedom and autonomy. Nonetheless, though modern Americans have
more choice than any group of people ever has before, and thus, presumably,
more freedom and autonomy, we don't s... 阅读全帖

Why Voting for Donald Trump Is a Morally Good Choice
Wayne Grudem
Some of my Christian friends tell me they can’t in good conscience vote for
Donald Trump because, when faced with a choice between “the lesser of two
evils,” the morally right thing is to choose neither one. They recommend
voting for a third-party or write-in candidate.
As a professor who has taught Christian ethics for 39 years, I think their
analysis is incorrect. Now that Trump has won the GOP nomination, I think

Main Reason Behind These Limited Plans: Cost.
By ANNA WILDE MATHEWS
This fall, Indiana's new online health-insurance marketplace will present
some tough choices for consumers like John Nowak, who will be able to pick a
plan from his current insurer—or go for one that includes his primary-care
doctor.
That is because Mr. Nowak's current insurer won't include Indiana's biggest
health-care provider, 19-hospital Indiana University Health, in the plans it
sells on the consumer exchange. If Mr. Nowak ... 阅读全帖

Let us assume something- that being gay is a choice.

Absolutely nothing.

凡是看过孕妇B超照片的恐怕都不会毫无保留,毫不犹豫的pro choice。因此pro-life
绝对是有道理的。但不给妇女任何choice又太不fair,尤其考虑到unplanned
pregnancy往往是男人造成的。因此pro-choice也有道理。
Roe v. Wade做了个很聪明的balancing act,把怀孕分为3个tri-mester来区别对待,
在我看来是很好的balance。只是Supreme Court找不到好的理由来argue for choice,
于是愣是从宪法中读出了the right to privacy并将之用于pro choice的arguement。
这确实是牵强了,所以难怪右派们不服气。
尽管说Roe v. Wade是个clever的balance,但它却是错的。为什么?因为这个决定本不

Typical discrete choice model works on data with complete set of choice.
In some cases, information on the choice set from which choices are made may
be missing or incomplete, and the sample may lack data on some of the
alternatives. In an extreme case, data may be only available for one subset
of the alternatives, as when a firm keeps files on only its own customers.
For such data it would appear to be impossible to estimate a choice model.
Is this true?

来自主题: TAX版 - First year choice的疑问
If you are single, there is no point to make first year choice in most cases.
When you make first year choice, you are becoming part year resident and
part year non-resident, you will need to file dual status return, that is
more complicated.
For married couple, When you make first year choice, you are also becoming
part year residnet and part year non-residnet. However,since you are married
, you can make more choice to become full year resident. You can file
resident return 1040.

情况说明:

一个f1未满5年,在10月1日转h1b,符合first year choice
另一个f1(opt)全年,收入大大少于sponsor
有一个孩子,<13岁的US citizen
收入全部来自US的工资,也不符合购房等tax credit
按照first year choice的话,可以算是10月1日为分隔点的dual status,
但由于另一个在end of year仍然是f1, 所以不能选择reisdent for entire year,必
须按照dual status,这样就有Restrictions:
包括不能file jointly和不能使用Standard deduction。
这样算来,first year choice好处是可以申请小孩的tax credit
