Nonsense. The feedback mechanisms are very, very weak. "Choose between X candidates every 4 years" is a ridiculously weak feedback mechanism. Compare a market, where the feedback mechanism is: - passive (consumer doesn't spen

Government (and its cheerleaders) has the same solution to every problem: ban it, or declare that it can't exist. Which is the same solution a child could come up with. Fixing a problem sounds good, so it's easy to market. Defini

Neovim's ":Man" command also shows a ToC when you type "gO" (mnemonic: "outline"). See also: :help gO Currently Nvim builds this ToC with its own hacks, so it would be nice to get that info from m

"Supporting innovation" is a low bar. It's easy to do that with lots of money, by allocating a small fraction to investment and wasting the rest. My point is that the cost isn't justified. Your point is "something
