Yes, they thought China would turn into a plutocracy. Of course they were modeling after themselves.

The West thought once China is full of billionaires, the billionaires having all that wealth would then have the power to oppose and dissolve the CCP. Didn't go as planned.

TBH I don't agree with anarchists. I don't think it is possible to have a flat society devoid of hierarchy. I also don't think all hierarchy is bad and it is not clear to me that a flat society would be better. I think it is

Because if you are weak (and being poor is a form of weakness), then you are at the mercy of those who are strong. Now there are to ways for the weak/poor to combat this. The first is to join forces and act as one. The problem with thi

It's not a given. Lots of people with low IQ or terrible character traits end up living in poverty by constantly fucking up.

Yep. I would say it is even harder (and also the popular opinion here) to not be rich and become rich, in Europe. Social mobility here means that if you are born destitute you have a chance to become part of the middle-income class, where

It could cause other problems for other people, like gentrification of entire cities.

The way I understood it, elite overproduction is about successful wealthy people, not enjoying the political influence that they believed they would enjoy after attaining their wealth.

Neither does the US or the UK or any other country that actually matters. And btw there is no such thing as international law.

Don't get confused by the terms. They are both 100% deadly. Both come in semi-automatic configuration as well. The only difference is that hunting rifles typically have low capacity magazines whereas assault rifles have high capacity m

They charged him with illegal possession of the guns though. It wouldn't make a difference in this case. He's not some kid in HS. He's a 70 year old man. He could easily obtain a hunting rifle (say in case you ban all other g

Ready to eat my words, but I don't think Tesla will even attempt to enter the lower-end of the market. They do well in the mid-range to high-end. If Tesla even tries to enter the lower-end it will ruin their brand. They won't be t

Don't worry Alexandra. Twitter are just jealous because their platform is just a toy for imbeciles to shout inanities on the internet. Very few websites can claim to have achieved more good for the world than sci-hub.

"intasa" just means "has been forgotten" in some dialects of Arabic. I think you are reading too much into the "once been famous" bit. "insa" is a word from the same root that means "forget it&qu

This is funny. Because I am positive if you poll the fans they would not say that GMMR's worldbuilding (and historicity is part of that) is his strong point. Maybe he feels that way. But I got the general feeling that fans, me included

The supposed reality of the series is with regards to the personality of the characters. It's not about the setting.

I think he is saying engineers care more about engineering, just purely because they enjoy and take pride in their own work. Whereas MBAs don't have much to be proud of, except short term profit goals.

Government could buy it out and sell shares back to the public, sort of like an IPO, but with some conditions attached, so that it ensures the company remains independent for a specified number of years post IPO.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I'm presently not interested in using any of these services, but I am trying to keep up with the developments of crpytofinance.

How do the oracles work with these kinds of smart contracts? I also don't understand the use of some of these. You can borrow crypto against other crypto?! What is the use case for that?

I cannot blame the founders. They worked hard and risked a lot and were successful so they want to cash out. Here's a radical idea. Maybe if countries care so much about keeping markets competitive, they could buy out late-stage start

From that I can tell, all this economic and ideological based theorizing is completely misguided. BTC has gone up, but all the theories about what it was going to be and do proved all false: 1. didn't replace fiat, 2. didn't even

Step 4 contradicts basic physics. What you are doing wrong is that you are confusing power with energy. If you lift the weight slowly you need less power because for the same work (= energy) done you can do it in twice the time. But using l

These ideas are cute but they lack interest from major players. In Europe it seems the big players are betting big on hydrogen. The EU is looking to convert all gas pipelines to be hydrogen proof and for new pipelines to also be hydrogen pr

Battery manufacturing emits a lot of CO2, to the point that out of the factory, an EV is less green than an ICEV, and it takes about 2 to 3 years of commuting just to catch up. Now with a plug-in hybrid assuming it has half of the battery c
