We should appreciate the contributions of Serhiy Storchaka, who appears to be in the Ukraine (or Kazakhstan, or Tajikistan).

Alternative explanation: the growth of money manifests itself by inflating some prices before others, e.g. the stock market before groceries. After all, money must flow through the system before price levels reach an equilibrium that matche

You truly have no idea what you're saying. If EUR falls relative to SEK, Swedes will pay less for goods purchased in Europe. Falling prices are not a consequence of inflation, rising prices are.

Note that the UK, Denmark, and Sweden have kept their own currencies, not using EUR. Look up GBP, DKK, SEK.

If you're attracted to philosophy and its history, consider Wilhelm Windelband's history of ancient philosphy [1]. One of the best histories, focused on essentials. [1] https://books.google.com/books?id=bSsrlxw7l2Y

To grok their sense of life, the absolute best book is "The Greek Experience" by Cecil M. Bowra [1]. No other modern book will give you as much (I've read dozens; this one I first read 14 years ago). It's about 200 pages

Are you claiming there is no evidence for the concept of causality? and that any discussion of existence or identity is the province of faith, not reason? If some people replace metaphysics with religous idiocy, that does not invalidate the

Proper metaphysics is very limited and has nothing to do with the supernatural. When physicists do their work they rely on such concepts as existence, identity, causality, the relation of consciousness to these. That's metaphysics. To

Physics depends on metaphysics.

It's a feudal, authoritarian immigration system. I suggest a return to pre-1914 policies: any peaceful, healthy, productive individual is welcome. (Footnote: this means abolishing the Welfare State. Ready?)

Time, like space, is a relation. Causality indicates that things act according to their nature. This is how relations change. Change, what we commonly think of as the passage of time, is the inevitable unfolding of an entity's potentia

I'd be interested in a variant that uses travel time for the length of edges, and time to reach street level for the diameter of vertices. Bonus points if these were to reflect current conditions such as delays caused by "passenge

Meanwhile, how many NSA backdoors are there in US-made AV software? Note that no reverse-engineering effort targeting such companies was described in the memo.

During my v.early coding years I would often go, esily, through a couple of days without eating, and little sleep. Decades later, I'm married with kids -- they complain if I don't join them to eat.

What you say is not the gist of the article nor how Obama, supposedly, recruited them.

by mkempe 11y ago
Surely all these amazing people who were pretty much hired directly by Obama himself can fearlessly go talk to him about that. Or is he simply throwing hundreds of them into a volcano, knowing that nothing lasting and significant will be ac
