To my knowledge, it does not. There are various items to address with only item 4 being currently with no clear direction: 1) Bohmian mechanics seems to require some kind of simultaneity. Various proposals have been put forth for making nat

The who cares is presumably that it can improve people's lives if they knew about it. I have to say that his description of his wife fits my iPhone use as well. As for the App Library, it is not discoverable if you have many pages of t

The utopian vision is that the entity with a monopoly on violence would ever produce impartial, socially good outcomes. Who are these regulators that would do a good job and who are these politicians that would be okay with them doing that?

It is even worse. It has been captured from for the past 120 years or so. The railroad companies tried to manage their own collusion, but repeatedly failed. So they helped farmers to get Congress to regulate the railroads with the ICC. Very

Most, if not all, of the coercion of a single company in this economy is coming from the government. For the trains, remember that there was going to be a worker's strike. If that was a real threat, the rail companies, left on their ow

This is not free market, but a captured regulated market. Companies bet that the government will cover over their mistakes. In an actual free market where the company and the people making the decisions would be held accountable for the dam

Here is another take on it, coming to a different conclusion by someone (Dave Cullen) who despises most of modern trek but seems to enjoy the third season of Picard: https://youtu.be/uNANI4-41VU

One could also not have subtraction but simply negation, so instead of a-b being subtraction, one could have a+-b. It probably already works in most languages. Doubt it would be embraced.

I really enjoy Alpine.js and am happily financially supporting the components. Also enjoying the development of the component explanations.

There is also the PETAL stack: Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine, and Liveview. The ordering doesn't make sense, but it is a nice acronym. I haven't actually gotten around to developing with it, but I am excited to do so.

Up From Slavery by Booker T Washington After being prepped for an understanding of the conflict of visions by Thomas Sowell, Booker T Washington's autobiography really brings it all home as to what could have been. The accomplishments,

It would be helpful to have other measures such as the median and the spread in scores. In particular, if the high end of the natural spread gets cut off, the average can be skewed as there is more room below 6 than above it in a 10 point s

This seems like a horrible notion of how to run a human society and is shocking if that is a foundational observation leading to his anarchist outlook. In a capitalist society, someone who refuses to share also fails to thrive as much as th

A book that made the idea of a lack of government believable and appealing to me is David Friedman's Machinery of Freedom. He presents a flushed out vision of a withered state and it is the anarcho-capitalist version of anarchy, the on

Why would the wages need to increase? UBI is additive to wages. It is not like welfare where one loses the money when one starts working. For the welfare state, you absolutely have to raise the wages to be above whatever the government is g

The evolution of the system in Bohmian mechanics includes the motion of the particles which is a non-linear and highly non-trivial equation which allows for chaos to appear. Classical mechanics emerges from the theory under suitable conditi

Also paying a penny for something would be a major inconvenience at this point. I haven't carried coins in ages. If it is adding a penny onto some other bill, no problem. But a separate paying experience of just 1 penny would be quite
