> Jevon’s Paradox I've now seen this referenced two dozen times today which is well up from the 0 times I've seen it over the past year. Is there some recent article referencing it that everyone is regurgitating?

A hypothetical lab worker which only spread it to the market and nowhere else seems implausible. I suppose that could happen if what they were carrying wasn't capable of human transmission yet, but was capable of infecting some speci

Wasn't it? Most of the earliest cases had a link to the market, many of whom were vendors including the very first known case. The early cases which had no known link lived/stayed clustered around the market. The market sold live

We have more than one wealthy and powerful person. They're rarely all on the same side. So regardless of how courts rule on most issues, one could almost always argue they're taking the side of wealth and power and against the s

Isn't who is decentralization vs. centralization in your argument seems to be more about comparing a group of states to a single one than anything else? Seems a bit like an apple vs. fruit basket situation.

I'm not sure what this means. The Supreme Court will side with data because it is wealth and power? What side is an inanimate object on?

Ulbricht was indicted in federal court in Maryland on a single murder-for-hire charge. The case was dropped after NY conviction since he was sentencing to life, so there was little point in continuing. Clearly that was a mistake if a lack

Tesla's domestic Chinese manufacturing received subsidies. That still has the effect of benefiting domestic over foreign production and should be punished. The fact that ultimately Tesla is an American company does not matter as the ef

by Aloisius 2y ago
Ok? My point stands. It's still not a free market with subsidies limited to domestic manufacturers. A country dumping money into an industry in order to undercut foreign competition should be punished. I don't care if it is the US

In the sense of an adherent to Nazism, yes, neo-Nazis are Nazis. In the context of "literal Nazis" the ACLU had argued for the rights of - like the German American Bund, which contained actual members of the National Socialist Ger

Uh. They still defend the civil rights of neo-Nazis (aren't any actual nazis left), white supremacists, etc.

Americans are more similar than they are different, so of course the parties elected to represent them are too.

"Qualified divestiture" means "no longer being controlled by a foreign adversary." Minority or even majority ownership change isn’t enough as long as the CCP still has control.
