That's just not the case.

When Greece had its own currency, it could devalue against the Deutsche Mark and keep people employed. That devaluation would cause some inflation and it would also raise interest rates a bit -- no debt bubble, no collapse of Greek industry. Rather, German industry finds that it's currency is more expensive to counteract increased Germany productivity and Germany fails to export more, and thus does not accumulate excess savings. There is no flow of jobs from Greece to Germany -- Greece keeps its jobs, Germany keeps its jobs, Greece is forced to consume a bit less with the lower Drachma relative to Germany, and Greece is forced to borrow a bit less with the higher interest rates.

With a forced peg against the DM, money was just being vacuumed out of Greece, which created a recycling problem in which excess German savings could be used to purchase Greek bonds. That lowers the interest rate in Greece artificially, creating more debt in Greece even while Greek production becomes less competitive and Greek jobs leave for Germany. That never ends well, and was only caused by the Euro.

The crisis was just the unravelling of the above unsustainable trends, but these trends were created by the Euro. You can't "until the crisis, Greece was creating these problems" -- the problems were created by the Euro.

The same thing for Greece's problems collecting taxes. When governments can't collect taxes efficiently, they print more money, creating more inflation, which is basically a tax on financial assets. So the money is still collected by the Greek government. Now that the Greek government was no longer able to print money, it was at the mercy of financial markets -- international financial markets, which of course can't help the Greek government collect money in the same way that an inflation tax can.

Greece simply has never been in a position where it could give up its own currency and join a pegged regime with Germany. All of this was foreseen as part of the folly of the European project. There are other bad effects, too.

I see people with pushchairs regularly at the local park runs, both female and male individuals who are there on their own (with child, obviously) or in one case a couple who take it in turns to take the stroller or try for a PB.

I think I see more solo men than solo women with pushchairs, though I've not paid that much attention so I might be noticing the men more due to them standing out to me because they breach some subconscious expectation/bias. Or maybe I notice more due to jealousy: one of the regulars is usually a minute or two faster than my best even with the pushchair!

What’s hollow or not is about context. Chess is very serious, The Minds is not very serious.

If things are less serious and also more squishy when it comes to the rules (despite the very absolute “no communication” rule I do think that some talking in The Mind doesn’t immediately destroy the experience and if you find a happy medium and approach with the group you are playing with it can even enhance the experience) then I would generalize that it’s in general easier for wins to be hollow, because there is more room to “cheat” in ways that ruin the experience.
And I believe, with plenty of historical evidence to support it, that the USA's IC propaganda machine predates Putin's.

The fact is, for example, we recently flew right past the anniversary of the Pentagon Papers and for some reason the USA MSM was more concerned with Stormy Daniels or some other pointless minutia. This is no accident.

Again. Just one example. Anyone who can connect two dots can find plenty more.
That’s a bad example of a bad comparison.

It’s a very good, mostly accurate and approachable way to get people to understand how much electricity is generated by a specific method.

Your demand that the mechanism for communicating “scale of electricity generation to the lay person” also include a mechanism for communicating the intricacies and vagaries of the power distribution system is ludicrous.

LH2 is an very energy-efficient fuel that is otherwise the worst possible liquid fuel choice you could make. It requires cryogenic cooling, causes embrittlement in materials it comes into contact with, has a very poor volumetric energy density, and has almost no existing infrastructure in place. Even if you lost 50% of your energy in conversion to synthetic methane or propane you would be better off using a synthetic version of a fuel we already know how to handle well.
Your narrative imply that the Euro works perfectly, what is ridiculous.

The reason for the the debt crisis is that the Euro countries are working with what is, essentially, a foreign currency. There is not fiscal capacity that will solve the possible problems, like, for instance, there is in the USA.

So, the Central European Bank is, against the spirit and probably the letter of the agreements, doing the work that a federal government should be doing. They are buying public debt in the secondary market and that is what have saved the Euro (for now).

The design of the Euro is flawed from the beginning and comments like yours show that fixing the issue is probably impossible, because it feels good to blame others instead of facing the issue, and because when we feel so above other countries, who would like to share a fiscal capacity with those losers? So, interesting times ahead.

That's the real lesson here.

It literally says in the game that’s how you are not supposed to beat it.

Quote from the rules: “It should be emphasised at this point that this is not a question of counting off the seconds. There is no counting. Of course, time passes by “in the head” of each player, but this is normally quicker than one second per number and it changes depending on what level is being played. The secret of the game is developing that collective feeling for “now is the moment”.”

Well, the Greek government cooked the books in order to be allowed to join. This is clearly Greece's fault.

The real lesson is that weak and corrupt governments are bad for most involved with them and very hard to fix, even if you try very hard. So, if you can, keep them at arm's length. They should never have been allowed to join the euro. In fact, given their conflicts with Turkey and Macedonia, they shouldn't have been allowed to join the EU at all.

What those 'reform' means? Are you suggesting that Greece should become Germany? What about Portugal or Spain?

Should all the countries to be net exporters at the same time? Sounds mathematically impossible.

More interestingly, should Greece to become Germany without making any investments? only by reducing their economy? All this is craziness.

In any currency union is going to be imbalances, that's unavoidable. I don't think I have to cite examples here, only think in your own country, whatever it is, and you will see that it's true. The solution is a fiscal capacity that compensate those imbalances. If you are not ready to finance those lazy Greeks, then you can't be in the same currency union that they are. So simple like that.

I agree that the arrangement is probably by design. It makes it even more evil, in my opinion.

Actually, not quite so. There's structure, otherwise it would be incomprehensible and people would not resonate so much with it.

William James said that philosophy “sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar.” The same is true of standup comedy. Simon Critchley has written that both ask us to “look at things as if you had just landed from another planet”. [1]

If you're not using Amazon, it depends how close you live to the store. A supermarket delivery truck should drive fewer miles making 10 deliveries than those 10 people would driving to the store. Some supermarkets here will also deliver in reusable crates rather than bags. Most have offered same or next day delivery for years.

I don't know any supermarket that would let you order just paper towels though...

Having moved somewhere not near a delivery point or a lot of large stores, the convenience of same-day Amazon Prime is hard to beat.

> In the case of Greece, things are so broken that reform is very hard, but at least their suffering serves as a warning to others who thing they can get away with it in the long term.

Their suffering and other countries suffering are empowering extremism around Europe. And the lesson people learn is to not trust the government and to not trust economists. And they learn that for good reasons.

To punish people to make them learn does not work. Dog trainers have known for long that punishing dogs to change their behaviour only create abnormal behaviour. It is even worse. As citizens have been punished while bankers, the main culprits, have been saved creating a dangerous moral hazard.

I agree with the post that "made a series of calamitous misjudgments in Greece, became euphoric cheerleaders for the euro project, ignored warning signs of impending crisis, and collectively failed to grasp an elemental concept of currency theory".

Banana Diet: Lose Three Kilos in Just a Few Days. How Does It Work? – SoWiseup
> Seeming ignored in these discussions is that right up to the bailout Greece's problems were entirely self inflicted.

False. Greece was in need of high rates to lower consumption and debt increase. Instead of that, and for the benefit of Germany that was in need of more debt to pay for the reunification, rates were lowered to historical minimums.

If your debt is increasing like crazy and your currency lowers the rates the result is well known. Greece could not change the rates, so they were not in control anymore.

That does not mean that Greece has not big problems. But to blame all on them makes no sense. German banks could have stopped lending money at any time, but they are seen just as victims instead of greed instigators.

You could reduce the content to a couple of short paragraphs and not lose anything essential.

The animations are decorative, not informative. Run through the piece again and you'll see they convey no independent actionable or memorable content that isn't already conveyed in the text, and/or couldn't be illustrated just as effectively with static diagrams.

This is an absolute monster load of development work for what's really just a one page magazine article.

And if you know a little about dramatic form, you'll note that it doesn't explain the design of the structure in any detail - certainly not any kind of detail you could repurpose if you were interested in writing or stand-up.

It's just "Stand-up has structure" - which you could get across in a single sentence, and which is probably a thought a lot of readers will already have had.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar production is one approach to this that is low-tech and doesn't require organism engineering. It's kinda counter intuitive that burning a rich source of carbon would keep it out of the atmosphere, but turning organic material into charcoal stabilises it and renders it inedible and insoluble, and it's really useful as a soil amendment in a lot of places, and it's very likely safe to dump in deep ocean if we ever run short of places to put it.

For the price of 10% of subsidy, you could sponsor reproducing ~10% of discoveries (proportional to the subsidy they took). Just some simple public provably random commitment protocol.

While you are doing the experiment, everyone knows theres a 10% probability of eventually being selected, so healthy pressure to make sure everything is properly documented, and everyone looks out to detect fraud by collaborators.

I don't see the problem, unless its the 10% price hike... if 10% is too much, just do 90% of the usual number of projects. I'd prefer 10% less projects if it ensures much higher reproducibility rates...
