Society does have multiple classes, yes but one in particular dominates politics - the ownership class. See here for the relevant study: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746

>the complete lack of trust that these people deserve Yeah, I took one look at that and laughed. CEO of mt gox teaming up with the guy who sold his last VPN to an Israeli spyware company sounds like the start of a joke.

It always strikes me how much effort certain people are willing to make to defend a state that is racist to its very core. >Now where that money went is a different conversation This is precisely the conversation we were having. >But

Hamas took over Gaza in 2007 and shortly after is when Netanyahu delivered those famous briefcases full of cash. His goal in helping them take over was to foment a political split between the Palestinians in order to try to head off any pos

There is barely any demand for this from the public and a fair bit of pushback. This is something the government is just trying to ram through regardless.

I dont think it really signifies anything more than there being a rather dim and unimaginative set of authoritarians in charge.

A lot of dysfunctional management behavior ive seen can be chalked up to simple projection by either the founder or management. They want you to feel invested enough to work 60 or 80 hour weeks coz they do. They want you to feel the need to

not really. it just means that during the lifetime of a note it could transition from "just a note" to "a todo" to "a scheduled event" and vice versa. Hence it makes it easier if theyre all under the same roof.

>there seems to be little appetite for limiting the capacity of capital to accumulate in only a few winners. Despite many peoples' attempts to say otherwise, this is pretty much the core point of capitalism. It emerged out of mercan

shrug and the theory of static comparative advantage said that by trying to move up the value chain they were shooting themselves in the foot. It sounds stupid, but so do many intellectual fashions of a bygone era.

It also only seems to be interested in what tech CEOs have to say - people who were as disingenuous about their doom mongering as they were about their gold rush mentality.

The theory of comparative advantage should really be dubbed the theory of static comparative advantage to highlight where it fucked up. If China believed in it theyd still be making cheap plastic tat. If the west hadnt believed in it Ch

No. I hate emacs but orgmode is still a good file format. I use orgzly revived with it. Org mode could do with a bigger non emacs ecosystem, though.

Probably those same employees would have answered similarly had management had the competence to ask them first.

The attraction of consumption taxes largely IS that they are regressive. That's certainly why people like Bob McNair pushed them. A billionaire who spends 0.2% of their wealth every year, paying a 100% consumption tax on that would sti

It is at least not wildly regressive like consumption taxes are. It would be better to tax IP protection, inheritance, resource use and land only but realistically if we get rid of capital gains the tax burden will land squarely on wage ear

Hubris is a second order effect. It doesn't collapse the empire directly, it just hinders the ability to deal with military failures, economic decay, etc. I think you could also argue that one of the reasons the Roman empire persisted

Also half of those people will "tell" you what you need to build and you need to work backwards from there to figure out what their actual problem is before working forward again to figure out what you actually need to build.

Damn. I would have written the exact opposite. Moreover, it is counter intuitive, too. The instinct of most juniors is to build foundations first and it took me a long time to learn to do the opposite. Each layer serves as a customer for
