Different idea: just hibernate the economy. Completely. No money transfers. Nobody pays rents or food or bills; nobody gets paid either salary or pensions (but still has to show up for work if required/ possibile). This could help prev

"De facto" as opposed to "de jure" means something happening without being mandated by law. This doesn't seem to have much to do with the GP's statement: >> If the firings disproportionately or systemical

In what sense the market performs better than expert predictions? Isn't it like saying that the weather performs better than the forecasts?

I especially like the reply to Musk's tweet: "dude, I just lost $10k because of this tweet". So you've invested at least $100k on the highly volatile stock of a luxury car company, overpriced by any reasonable standard,

Maybe I'm naive, but isn't the market cap of Tesla twice that of Volkswagen, a company that sells 10 million vehicles each year? How can the question be "why is the price too high"? I feel like the price of Tesla is as d

Or maybe you have come to identify validation of grief with its sacralization, and you don't accept someone saying at the same time "I understand you, it has happened to me as well" and "it will pass, there is a bigger p

It's interesting that both you and the other commenter took the second option for a dismissal of the grieving person's emotions. Which is not, and there is no indication in the text that it is one. It does acknowledge the pain (

Hm. Think of how you normally try to comfort someone who is grieving about something that is not (in your opinion, at least) of paramount importance. For example, the loss of a sum of money. Would you rather say: "your loss is terrible

To me a lot that's bad with Google's politics is epitomised by the move from "don't be evil" to "do the right thing". The first was a neutral stance: just abstain from behaving so as to cause harm; the sec

You might want to read again the numbers you just posted and change your tone to a less self assured one, because you're very obviously wrong. Theranos operated for more than ten years with hundreds of employees, so the numbers you pos

Solution: keep running google news, but without the snippets. You search for news, you get a set of mute links to articles from various sources.

However, I was even more surprised that the rest of the translation is so smooth (while the original text is so obscure to me) it almost feels like decryption rather than translation. Which is awesome. At this point, non-literary text in an

I don't think it works like that at all. I think the cognitive process is more like "they have all the stuff, and we have nothing. They have it because they're stealing it from us. And they know we're starving and they d

While I don't agree with the gp's vehemence, saying that a certain statement is "almost literally equivalent to Holocaust denial" doesn't mean accusing someone of Holocaust denial- but of something similar. Btw, acc

Global supply capacity and quality of life are steadily increasing- if anything, you can check global growth rate and poverty index [1]. These are hard data. The increase in natural disasters is also real, but how large is its impact? Can w

I guess that factories have workers, space, skills, and networks of suppliers. And maybe a few machines that can produce parts by design (injection molds, 3d printers). That's it: they're not going to set up automated production l

As someone observed in the Twitter thread, +64% only means a handful (about 150) new flats on the market, since there's so few at the moment. They are now on offer for long term rental, so once they'll be taken they'll be out

So you're giving a javascript feature as an example of a pattern that doesn't fit javascript. Then you claim to use an equivalent but syntactically different form in js? How does this constitute a different pattern?
