Yeah, artificially inflated prices and yet very little to the people that own the land.

And wait until they have to pay to replace degrading battery packs on mass. EV is a scam of the highest order, next to the cough. Charlatans and snake oil sales men.

I'd be very surprised if this is new. The only new aspect is that you are being told about it. Which is unfortunately probably not a good sign. At best it will be only used to justify the purchase of some expensive "hi tech"

It's happened time and time again. I'm currently reading Marx Das Kapital and it's amazing how all the narratives are more or less exactly the same. The worker is lazy, society will collapse if every moment of time is not tak

And the alternative is to use the data as bones, throw it up in the air and let it tell you what to do?

There is no great difference between any of them. They're all essentially procedural languages with various bells and whistles bolted on. The list comprehension is about the only high level feature in python in my opinion and it's

The scientists all paid for by the very companies that stand to make billions, I'll stick to the crackpots. But to each his own, you can follow who you like, I will try to find the truth.

He mentioned it briefly in his book/notes on rhetoric. It was from a free audio book. I've only started my exploration of Aristotle.

And now big pharma will "cure" them of the disease they pushed. Also how is it a vaccine?

I'm sure the same promises were made to the Greeks and Romans as their institutions of governance were slowly bought out before their very eyes. Aristotle wrote about this inevitable path of democracy. It's happened before and we&

Exactly, and none of this has to be this way, we chose this existence.

This makes more sense when you realise we are all to be treated like children. And more crudely, we're to be kept in the dark and fed shit.

No one at the top wants stable and reliable. It's so much easier to profit and seize control during periods of volatility.

It's really quite amazing how similar things are today, to 200 years ago. I've been reading some philosophical literature from 19th century and if just change a few key words you'd imagine it was written today.

Paul Graham the capitalist is not Paul Graham the coder. One uses his time to produce something another uses his capital to buy others time. But also reducing to single entities misses the forest for the trees. Commodities and there exchang

After 200+ years of capitalism It's now deep rooted in our society that all work is a commodity, with human labour wholly fungible. This in and of itself pretty dreadful but I have been wondering recentl whether or not abstract thought

Not a word on economic Armageddon that hit Japan's overly financialised economy at the end of the 80s. This economic malefactor is now hanging over many of the western countries, the UK potentially the next to collapse.

For me I've decided to avoid US companies as much as I can. It does not help our societies to facilitate the siphoning of our local wealth to enrich foreign companies. Especially ones that have such disregard for their own, imagine the

Surround yourself with people that share whatever your culture or sense of being is. You will feel far less alone and down trodden. My home society had shops during my life time that had recruitment signs that said things like "Catholi

Sounds like you need to get new friends. We are all dealing with crap, we are all at the bottom of the pile getting the dregs from trickle down economic theory. It's not about one tiny fringe group, when we fight only for ever more spe

Echoing the echo :) Thanks Markus.

We have far more to fear from those that peddle fear than from those we are told to be fearful of.

I suppose on the plus side at least they actually sentence them, some countries just lock them up in extra judicial camps or orders a drone strike and never says a word.

There is a multitude of very effective free CL implementations.

Does anyone real believe this will fix the chronic problems facing the US? The people who are actually responsible for the greatest inequities in our societies are neither talking of listening to you or I in the first place.

Much of the wealth that is really at the top is capital gains or can be offload onto offshore entities. When you are really rich it's not income tax you are trying to avoid rather it's about protecting the vast wealth you've

It's not very complicated. Wealth has a tendency to accumulated, it's very addictive. And now that we have reclassified usury as productive it has got even worse. We not only count it as productive but often give preferential tax

Not advocating nothing. Just don't give monopolies to private interests, it's killing us.

Strange, I always get presented with a login page and no way to bypass. Maybe it's a chrome thing.
