A little OT but the connection will be apparent at the end.

I had this interesting idea of "economic entropy". In analogy with statistical physics, a macrostate is what and how much is produced by the economy (consumable commodities), and a microstate is how it is produced (all the intermediate supply chains). So to one macrostate can correspond a large number of microstates, logarithm of number of which is the entropy of the macrostate.

Now assume we have two completely independent (not involved in trade) economies, and each of these is in some macrostate and with the corresponding entropy. And we enable the trade. Then over time, we might end up in the same macrostate (they together still produce exactly the same amount of goods), but now the entropy of the entire system is much higher, because there is much more possibilities of how the supply chain works (they are not confined into one of the two previous economies).

Now imagine that for some reason, cost of travel and transportation is really economically negligible. Then microstates with long path of transport for products correspond to same macrostates as those with short path of transport for products. Even more, they will be statistically favored, since global economy has high entropy.

In practice, the high entropy state looks like: You have several multinational companies with sites in the same city, and their executives fly around the world to convince other executives of multinationals to buy their products (be part of their supply chain). The corresponding low entropy state would be that each city has its own set of companies, which all together form a single supply chain.

The point is, historically, we came from low entropy state into a high entropy state, and we are now screwed. We know the low entropy state would be more efficient, but we have no idea how to get there. But getting there would greatly reduce transportation, which is one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions.
Have you tried using Google Sheets? I have. You can't even cut and insert a bunch of rows. That's a primitive functionality that is very much needed that was available in Excel circa 1988 (I'm exaggerating, but it's been in Excel for at least 2 decades).

I don't think this is true unless you have a ridiculously high electricity bill. When I checked, one intercontinental retour flight was roughly equivalent to my yearly electricity bill, in terms of CO2 emissions. I have to admit I'm not sure how to reconcile this with CO2 credit prices, but I'm quite sure it's not really possible to offset the CO2 emissions of a intercontinental flight with 20 euro, that would mean that a minor tax on flights would make them practically carbon neutral, this is definitely not the case.

I actually think it may be a tactic for getting more votes. You get the casual upvoters who like remote and only read the headline before they clicked it. But then you can also pick up people who don't like it if they read that far in. But then you can also get some more of the pro-remotes who read all the way to the end.

While I won't argue that there's evidence that we need to reduce some things, blaming someone's mental health problems on sugars is oversimplifying a complex issue. I find the advice to just eat differently to solve long standing issue to be pretty distasteful. Reducing sugar will help a lot of things, but it isn't a panacea, and seems to be an attempt to build a simple worldview on a foundation of "science".

>It's hard to foster an intellectual elite in a dictatorship

Have we forgotten about Nazi technical excellence, Werner von Braun, and the Soviet space program?

It’s easy to pour money into STEM fields. If you only crack down on ethnic minorities and outspoken dissenters, and if you censor uncomfortable news about these crackdowns, the majority of your engineers and scientists won’t care enough to DO anything. This approach worked for the Nazis and, to a lesser degree, the Soviets. It is working very well in China.

Before this became the de factor standard in tech dive computers, advanced divers would often do the same and fill their units with mineral oil.

For anyone interested in how this can go wrong, Raising the Dead - a book about scuba diving at its limits - has a passage about a rescue diver repairing his dive computer in the field, re-filling the oil, and noticing that he'd lost a drop or two in the process, with a resulting tiny air bubble...
Regardless of whether or not the poster above was bringing up that tired comparison in good faith. The point must still be made.

The ADL specifically says to evaluate all things in context. Note the similarities in the caution they advise while evaluating here. The people - the cowards, the milk drinkers, the tools of the christian church and establishment - in this thread making the unwise choice of submitting their spirituality to peckerheads wholesale. Would do well to take note of that advisory:

The comparison being made in that article is sort of a weird one and is not really reflective of banks' true reserve ratios (nor is the ~100% M1/reserve deposits that they were excited about true any longer).

On https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=o4OS I've included updated source data from that article, and you can see that M1 has continued to grow while fed reserve balances have fallen, but neither was ever close to M2 (which includes things like savings accounts and small CDs).

A better indication of banks' leverage is Total Equity to Total Assets, which is similar to the Basel Tier 1 capital ratio: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/EQTA

This has steadily gotten healthier over time overall as banks have tended to reduce their leverage over the last few decades.
Sorry for pestering you about Holland but it's the only example I know first hand. In Holland your visa is tied to the employer (though its way easier to switch employers, unlike moving visas in the U.S which for some reason is a nasty process). After 5 years in the country you are eligible to take the citizenship tests (which consist of language test of about B level as far as I know and not too hard general knowledge about Netherlands). This is definitely more relaxed then the U.S , no ?

Wasn't one of the largest tax fraud scandals[1] just that?

> An international group of bankers, lawyers and stockbrokers - reportedly with links to the City of London - appears to have fiddled the tax system, employing practices which were at best unethical, at worst illegal.

> With a bit of imaginative paperwork, and by exploiting a procedure which allows more than one person or institution to simultaneously own a share, they were able to claim numerous tax refunds. The practice was outlawed in 2012.

In my (incomplete) understanding this was a vulnerability in the law that has not been patched until 2012 when it had already been exploited for a while. It wasn't just tax avoidance but extracting money from treasuries, so it should be blatantly obvious that this was not the intent of the lawmaker.

I'm inclined to agree with you, with a few caveats. I do think ZFC isn't the superlative candidate for foundations. That being said, most mathematicians don't really think about the foundations of mathematics often (if ever). They use ZFC's set theory because it's a succinct, versatile and useful notation which is frankly very easy to learn.

In that sense there's a compelling argument that a revised set theory might be called for, in the sense that it could be a better fit for the way most mathematicians use set theory in practice. But since Leinster's set theory is axiomatically equivalent to ZFC without regularity, there's also a compelling argument that it's not worth it unless it's significantly more expedient or easy to learn.
Maybe Microsoft hasn't changed that much, but others in the industry do way worse?
