Too bad Google, Amazon, & Microsoft just shrank their workforces in response to the no-longer-zero interest rate.

I absolutely agree, and admire your comprehensive explanation. While the market may sound greedy, you can't legislate away human nature. People just won't work for free. If you also want to address inequality, then by all means im

In Romania, there is a wave of people installing their own electricity production in response to the higher prices. This will reduce electricity demand, and therefore prices, including for other countries. This is an example of government g

How is my thinking dangerous? Not allowing profit is dangerous, because it won't attract suppliers. High prices might prompt some people elsewhere to reduce their consumption, in favor of ones more in need. You can address some of the

Hire its citizens. No money means you'd benefit by sending them money. But inequality is a different problem than getting through crises. It should be addressed while leaving the production incentives intact. For example, progressive a

I doubt it. In as much as they are allowed to function, markets will reward people addressing the shortages with outsized profit. Same as getting through the energy crisis, we can overcome the food crisis, one obstacle at a time. The connec

That won't stop them trying to lobby their way into banning third parties from the web if they could. Apple, Google, and Facebook are the 5th, 6th, and 7th largest lobbyists in the EU. https://www.lobbyfacts.eu/?sort=lo

My regions are dynamic, so they wouldn't help me. In the example above, I enter daily work logs with a functional table header separating dates by a blank line. Ctrl+Shift+; is perfect for introducing start and end times. I then comput

I don't care for fixing my formulas. The formulas I write are fine (possibly thanks to Excel's brevity and immediate feedback). The hard part is writing them in the first place. I would love a model that would translate natural la

I agree that C lets you more precisely control what a CPU does. By that definition of "powerful", I think the assembly language of that processor is the most powerful language. But the cost with which you must put up is also large

Indeed. People in developing countries might learn what the public school system should have taught them, with a free private tutor that is ChatGPT or similar.

I suppose a human teacher not being able to come up with an assignment not easily solvable by computers is a new level of the Turing test. Therefore the assignment itself must include a requirement not to use a computer.

I can learn long-form division by writing with a pencil. Is the pencil a crutch? Do I have to make my own pencil? Should I learn to divide without needing a writing utensil? Of course, we can't take ChatGPT for granted like a pencil, b

We've been hunting species to extinction for 60k years, yes, but we haven't reached global transformation of the environment until the past few hundred. But you can also interpret "currently" on a geological time scale.
