There is a sort of balance where one market going down makes another go up. For example, real estate assets everywhere but China now look better in the long term. Bank crashing = money printing = asset values go back up. Can't lose.

Legal considerations are not the only considerations. What the court says is not accepted by all as the final word. And why should we need to confine our replies to a narrow and arbitrary framework of existing case law, when there is so muc

So, modern Linux is 4500x the lines of code of Linux v0.01. Does 36M lines of code in modern Linux mean that the complexity demon is winning? Or do we really, actually need that many? I would love to see a graphical breakdown of how many li

Here's my theory: One of the reasons the Internet is (was) so good is that it was a communication mechanism with a filter. It used to be that you had to work hard (and pay more) to host anything on the Web and get your content seen. Th

Not sure how I feel about this. You are either helping or taking advantage of people who are already down. Why should be excited about or support a mental health startup, who stands to make money when people have poor mental health? Does an

This is a hit piece with a divisive agenda. Patients vs. the health establishment. Us vs. them. I had to stop reading. I am not convinced this is widespread behavior. Yes, if I saw myself on social media without consent, I would go straigh

If I understand correctly, I am writing a review of a review of a book about the Iliad. But we can only read so many books. If we had to choose, would we just read a translation of the original Iliad instead of a book about it? This is why

Banks gambling in the form of credit made available to other businesses would be ideal. That's what makes everything keep ticking along. What we should be concerned about is profit taking and thereby exchanging working assets and capit

Do we levy windfall taxes on farmers after a bumper crop harvest? No, because we assume the profits will be reinvested. How does a bank efficiently re-invest? Does taking profits mean efficient reinvestment? I dont think so. It just means i

Yes, it's beyond belief that they can't make the required brake parts in Russia. If Russia starts having "civilian aircraft incidents" due to NATO missiles, there will be also a convenient "well established preceden

I would attribute bark beetle issues to rising winter temperatures. As others have stated, monocultures are nothing new and haven't been much of an issue in temperate climates for centuries. Low winter temperatures (frosts) for extende

If this isn't the "real" list, what's the real list of the world's biggest landowners? Would it also be more interesting to list by asset value instead of area basis? I think it's also possible to hold interest

Having first read Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, I suspect that this and similar works have been twisted into unrecognizable states vs. their bases in the glories and depravities of antiquity, whilst under the custody of 2000 years of

I have to agree. I think it goes to show that a combination of bureaucracy and automation can be dangerous. Unfortunately, some person writing the tweets (or their bosses) might even think of the number of tweets, or more broadly the number

If you aren't paying, is there really a formal customer/vendor relationship in the way you describe? There is just as good of a case to be made that the BC government was the "vendor" here, by indirectly delivering users

If you start viewing high and increasing housing prices as a feature of the system, and not a bug, much of the world that seems illogical starts to appear logical. For example, "Why do the powers that be continue to restrict land use?

Thanks for the link. In my personal experience (and in the FLIR application guides) the main factor affecting paint emissivity is the glossiness (matte paint is much more emissive). I would have liked to see that test done with matte white

I would like to see a comparison using a thermocouple. I'm not convinced with the measurements taken with a thermal camera. Further, the use of an insulator doesn't make for a great comparison. Is this any better than regular whit

Global average temperature is not a well-defined statistical measure and can be surprisingly difficult to measure given large regional random and systemic variation in the measurement, including sampling effects. But, if you live near some

There is a combination of data processing and filtering happening. It's less about whether to change one's view, and more about whether or not to accept an input. If we accept a new input, our view of things must change, or else w

If we think that everyone else is the problem, it usually means that we are the real problem. Not sure how someone can be reliant on substance abuse and still find room to criticize others, and think they are the one who "gets it"
