Well theres also reason to question the size of x. If substantial amounts of money are wasted in the effort of allocating x, might it be better to just use that money to increase x and go for a simpler allocation model. For example equal am

Things don't have value on their own. They have value to someone in some context. Your Apple has value to a hungry person because it can be eaten, it has value to an apple producer, or merchant, because it can be sold, and it has value

It's because the local politics are rather intense in Sweden right now. The whole country is rather emotional at the moment, has been for the last couple of days. For a while now the racist parts of the population has been rather outsp

I wonder, might a better metaphor be that of a journal, instead of a book? A program has history, which, by the way, is stored in VCS, planning tool and communication, not the source code it self, So how about a literate VCS? Maybe you star

I was merely adding context. The arguments mostly boils down to - the mathematical rigor, as you suggest, which besides the issue of contradictions also introduces problems for the implentattion of things like query optimization. - non-null

This view isn't without criticism though. http://www.alternativetech.com/publications/copper.pdf Edit: "Logicians have proved that a large class of MVLs are not truth-functionally complete[.] They have also p

Haven't actually tested it, but super better might be your thing ( http://janemcgonigal.com/2014/01/06/superbetter-show-me-the-... ), it's an interesting experiment at least.

It seems to be a common sentiment that burnout is largely driven by how many hours a day you work. Why is that? From what I've been taught burnout is the result of continuous stress. Where stress is more or less defined as a continuous

For a different take on this problem see NVC: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication Also note the crucial symmetry, besides trying to ask X, it is also important to hear X even if Y is spoken.

Isn't the fundamental piece of capitalism privately owned capital? What would we call a system of lasses-fair and protection of individual rights where those rights only included the right to rent capital from the state (not own it).

By the same logic, any depressed high school kid could also engineer a pathogen to wipe out their entire civilization before that happened. (I think this is a plausible great filter candidate)

Just brain dumping here but I have this thought that maybe the universe unfolds like a grammar. You start with a description of everything that can exist according to some laws of physics, if you do this recursively, like a grammar. You wou

One explanation I picked up in a book some time ago was that the illusion could be explained as a series of moments (like the frames of a movie), due to the fact that each such moment contained an encoding of the previous frame (your memory

I don't think the law follows the work. Rather the law follows the jurisdiction, if that's the term. There are international agreements of how such laws should work, but Not all countries has a concept of public domain, or fair us

Another take on the idea of finding the complete specification is Parnas Tables. https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~jmatlee/talks/parnas01.pdf I'm thinking it could be interesting to combine some agile technique like A

Fair enough :) Here's the abstract: "This report is a study of monetary problems in Iceland and in what part they may be caused by the current monetary mechanism, the fractional reserve system. There is indication that the fractio

Figured out might be giving to much credit. The system really is in their favor and the more you have, the easier it gets. It's almost as if capital acts like gravity in our current setup. Maybe that's a good thing, and it's

I found it odd reference git cli commands as comparison when git gui seems to do precisely what this tool claims to do.

Why not just use 'git gui'?
