Qanon is just a parody of widespread political sentiments. Obviously no one with a Q clearance (which apparently includes Podesta) is a decent person. The actions of various people acting as a result of the Qanon theories is potentially the

It is unpopular to express opinions that violate the tenets instilled in every American in their civics / social sciences classes in high school. Snowden had the same opinion though: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy&

Not an expert (member of a community of armchair generals actually), but uprating an engine will increase power density at the expense of durability and some fuel efficiency. They could build planes, attach an uprated car or motorcycle engi

This is an interesting microeconomics paper about a new field or theory of economics, unsure which. Naming itself is probably the first step in successful application towards propagating itself. Doesn’t mention within the paper anything abo

This is true for any situation when you’re the lone outgroup. Unless you have a camera live streaming (which is expensive even in an urban area), you only have the available evidence, which could be scarce or ambiguous. The only deterrent i

Imagine if food was mechanical. Imagine if there was a switch that could be flipped changing it from edible to inedible and dangerous. Drinking coffee at 180 degrees could kill you.

Labor without brains is a horse meant for the fields; in times of trouble, hammers will forge weapons of war. Economic statistics fail to account for immeasurable and uncountable things, the immeasurable can only be guessed.

I suspect the Solow residual comes mainly from gains through minimizing inventories and reducing the amount of idleness workers have. The value of energy and technology is important for societies designed around nation states which occasion

Vehicles cost half a dollar per mile to operate. Excluding the cost of labor for the driver, public transit will be in general cheaper if there is at least some demand for it. After a certain point, moving towards a shuttle system over a fi

The wait calculation implies that the returns from economic growth will eventually be converted into rocket fuel. A fun equation, but economics doesn’t translate well on time scales where depreciation of capital is 100% and becomes another
