You need a military in order to prevent other people from bombing your country. You absolutely do not need to bomb other people, and if fact if your goal is to not get bombed, not bombing other people might be your best option for a bunch of reasons[1]. If your goal is to systematically rob your population of wealth by dumping insane amounts of money into an otherwise mostly useless industry(you don't really need 12 carriers to defend your country for example, they are mostly useless for defense), bombing other people is a good option.

[1] not making additional enemies, not setting the precedent that it's ok to bomb people, not driving away allies, not undermining your narrative that you're a good guy and therefore attacking you is unjustifiable, etc. These are just off the top of my head.
Put as much of your monthly income into a Vanguard fund as you can afford.

Most of my money is in this one: https://americas.vanguard.com/institutional/mvc/detail/mf/ov...

You might want to put some into a fund that comprises bonds, though they've performed poorly (for my investments) in recent years. If you're young (<40), I would put as much, if not all, in a fund consisting of stocks.

Also: this is a long play. Leave it there.

"the US military is _not_ being used in this way."

I agree to a point. US is "hooked" to war as it feeds the profits and the subsidies of the military industrial complex. Especially in the eastern mediterranean area and middle east US escapades have been hugely destabilizing.

However, given the current world stage in total with such jolly players with extraterritorial ambitions as Russia and China, I would much prefer that US was ready to aggressively project force than not. As a counterbalance.

Especially as I live in Finland, I much prefer having US backed Nato force as a counterbalance to which ever clique in Kremlin has control of the Russian military antics.

This is anything but clear cut.

The fact that if you do not control the product you do not actually own the product.

That is distasteful to many people.

This is complete rubbish, there is no reason Apple could not have the App Store, have all the their "advantages" and by default lock their OS down, but still have a path for people that choose to break out of the wall garden, to do so.

And you have good diplomacy skills? He's clearly flaming pointlessly about my signature. Why was my signature a big deal in the first place? Just grow the eff up and stop minding too much about trivial things. You're wasting too much energy criticizing about non-issues. Just because you write it that you don't mean to be a jerk doesn't mean you do, it's just a way to bowdlerize your harshness and attempt to sound civil while actually being pointless in your criticism, which is otherwise called trolling. Calling a spade a spade or plainspeaking is in no way undiplomatic. I just do not sugarcoat it unlike you who try to be pointlessly hypercritical.

> The conditions in Vanuatu make vaccine distribution a tough challenge. Today, shipments are flown from the three major islands (which have cities and airports and such) to small rural islands in 9-seater planes. When a plane rolls to a stop on the grass airstrip, it’s met by someone from the local health clinic—but that’s assuming that one of the few trucks on the island is available and in working order.

The health worker picks up the vaccines, which are packed in ice, and hurries back to the clinic to stash the precious vials in a refrigerator—but that’s assuming the fridge and the clinic’s solar power system are working. Any breakdown is a serious problem, because spare parts can take weeks to arrive. And the whole operation is very expensive.

It sounds like they're going for JIT delivery, deliver the vials to the remote hospitals as they're using them - instead of transporting a supply that the remote hospital would store. This would obviate remote refrigeration, removing numerous situations where the supplies could go bad. They could get an email from the remote hospital and send a drone with a few insulated vials right away.

If the drone payload is big enough, they could replace the airplane and trucks too, saving a lot on fuel and maintenance costs.

> Many people in developing countries have less than $1,000 in monetary/material assets, but have plenty of free time and a decent level of security.

As someone with fairly deep knowledge about such a country, many poorer people tend to have no security when they get older or if they get a severe accident. On average, they have little or no savings and often significant debt. Having kids is their insurance against the future, but it is like playing roulette since many/most young people do not earn enough to support their parents (or even live comfortably themselves).

If they wish to raise their kids well, while not having much education themselves, they need to work really hard, not unlike two- or three-jobbers in the States. Otherwise, their kids will have bad education and often need to work minimum wage or only a bit better as an adult.

Free time, yes but only for those who don't prepare much for the future. Security, not really.

(Check out statistics of working hours in developing vs developed countries. People in developing countries often work harder and earn less even in PPP terms.)
"Earn while you sleep" does not mean "conjure from thin air and then earn perpetually". It just means creating a system that decouples time spent working from amount of money received. As opposed to a job, where they are tightly coupled.

Isn't finding the optimised solutions to market transactions something that is part of the market too?

So, not only do you have the resource problem highlighted in sibling posts but also a recursion problem:

Vis, when the problem becomes solvable the optimisation must add the market transactions for the sale of resources to solve the optimisation, so now one needs to optimise that larger problem ... which again involves transactions, which shift the original optimisation.

If you can predict the optimisational perturbations needed to solve the enlarged system, then you might be able to break the cycle .. but won't you need to transact the processing of the perturbation, the optimisations of which will shift the inner optimisation.

The solution itself would be marketable, perturbing the market and negating the optimisation?

My instinct may be wrong but it suggests the market can't be [perfectly] optimised (but in practise that probably doesn't matter).

Optimising markets might be the extent goal of capitalism, but it's not the extent goal of the rich (in general) who would rather remain rich than have perfect allocation of resources.

As I understand it, his argument is that there might be information available that needs time to interpret. And that the time the market took to interpret the available data is not sufficient to gain the maximum insight possible. So that somebody with more computing power then the market could beat the market.

I don't see that as an argument against the EMH. I think it is inherent in the EMH that the market has more computing power then any individual.

I would say that it is the core of the EMH. That more people make better predictions. Because they have more computing power.

I always found it strange that the EMH is often defined as the market price including all available data. As if the data can simply be added without interpretation.
The threshold would be the law.

It's plausible, but still, trails navigable by wheeled vehicles are appropriate technology and has been since the invention of the wheel. And off-road bikes place very little demand on those trails.

It's bad enough that they are reliant on western pilots and technicians to keep the planes in the air, the last thing they need is add western drone operators and techs to the mix. If they hate independence so much maybe they shouldn't have declared it in the first place. Also it won't exactly help their massive unemployment.

This is true, and I believe sometimes developers should yield certain decisions to somebody else, or be willing to take useful advise (and act upon it after really considering it), you could really go from very good to exceptional if you can get over the hump of "but I already named it a thing", or whatever mental roadblock. As well as you don't have to change your code (reasonable reason not to 'change names'), it can be called 'WAMP' under the hood, but market it as something else, it is the 'WAMP' core if anything, but also clarify that it's nothing to do with Windows, Apache, MySQL or PHP (unless it's related to any of those).

But peertube is the work of the small french non profit organization and popular education network based on free software framasoft[1].

They are leading the project of de-google-ification of internet[2] by providing free software alternatives to google services and guiding people on how to do it themselves.

The sucess of their initiative lead them to tackle the task of providing an alternative to youtube and that's how peertube came into existence. After successfully funding the first year of development through donations from the french community and showing that peertube works and starts to grow, to be able to continue development towards a 1.0 release they appeal to the global community for funding the project further.[3]

RIP my German Shepherd Afghan Hound Mix.

If I had the money, spacetime & resources for it, I'd try to breed some hybrids from Shiba Inu, New Guinea singing dogs (assuming I could do so without endangering the population), Basenji, Huskies, Ibizan Hounds, Border Collies, and a bunch of other breeds, to try to find a new breed with extremely wideband vocalization abilities, few genetic health issues, and very high intelligence. (Haven't found a breed with novel hips yet, however. Most videos one sees of dogs walking upright involve extremely cruel training methods to force the animal into an unnatural behavior which damages their hips - not something one'd want.)

Did you know? Humans have two mutations in the FOXP2 gene affecting the protein structure, one of which dogs also have (not the one famed for causing a change in language skills however. But even so, that seems interesting.)
