Typical disingenuous car-hater article.

They show a b/w picture from the 1970's to demonstrate the "before" situation with passthrough traffic (https://reasonstobecheerful.world/wp-content/uploads/2019/10...). If you look at maps, you will see that since then the AP-9 highway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopista_AP-9) has been built around the city. So that situation was clearly resolved otherwise. It has nothing to do with the current Mayor's expensive actions to make the city more easily overrun by tourists.

Remote has already taken off. Some people will always be stuck in the slave master mentality by choice, not because they don't know any better. They just love to control others and make others' lives miserable. Many managers literally have no other skills or purpose in this world other than that. Fuck them. The rest of us will be productive remotely while the master and slaves will work in open offices where the idiot executives actually believe that random sharing of bullshit is what writes code, fills in the accounting books, and in general does actual work. As long as those morons are making money though, their idiocy will live on. And how can you not make money in advertising these days? So it's a long uphill battle for the rest of us who prefer to get things done and do non work stuff afterwards than the moronic control freaks who think collaboration is the key and somehow the code or article writes itself. The alternative is starting that fifth game of foosball before lunch and getting to actual work sometime in the afternoon, continuing at home, and maybe finishing by two to three am if you're lucky. No wonder people work so many hours with such little efficiency.

Actually... you are providing liquidity to the market.

Until recently, there was no easy way to transfer wealth intertemporally -- livestock died, grain spoiled, precious metals got stolen, land got invaded, etc.

The faith that people have in the stock market -- that they can buy something now and sell it in 50 years with very low frictional costs, allows the market to function, which ultimately lowers the cost of acquiring and deploying capital. This also ensures that capital is matched to risk tolerance, and that capital is deployed most effectively.

Imagine if each VC individually had to find a retail buyer for their shares.

In all of your example topics (and others), there are clear sets of "acceptable" and "unacceptable" opinions, and if you share an unacceptable one, you face all kinds of potential work-impacting repercussions ranging from "sad faces" to getting fired.

In the spirit of imagining you're in the out group: Imagine you're a Trump supporter and work in a big-name SV tech company. Someone asks you at work "Boy, Trump is a bonehead, isn't he?" Well, now you're put in a no-win situation: You have to either lie about your beliefs to keep everyone happy, share your beliefs and risk getting fired or some other type of discipline. Or, you'll need to dodge by saying "I don't think it's appropriate to talk about politics at work," leaving it to the asker to speculate about your views.

Remember "Invasion of the Body Snatchers?" At the end where most people are aliens and the few real humans have to put on a fake persona in order to walk around freely? If you slipped up and dropped the persona for an instant they'd all point at you and make that alien noise, and you're done for! That must be what it feels like to hold unorthodox political views working in a Silicon Valley tech company these days.

Well the obvious question is how much cheaper would space telescopes be if they mass produced and launched a standard design instead of one-offs?

What if they took the JWST design ($10 billion in development costs!) and made 10 or 100 more copies? How much would each additional copy cost to build and launch?
The idea that even spam is does not fall into "content moderation" is very interesting.

A fake Rolex email is an interesting advertisement to some people and belongs in the garbage for others.

Research has shown that buyers of spam advertised products will literally dig through their spam folder to find a store to buy from.

As this (naturally, pun intended) expands to green coffee, açai, news articles about Florida man, and on up to what we see as disinformation, the difficulty in identifying intent becomes equally as challenging.

There's no way to "just host content", and anyone attempting to do this will face a range of laws, user challenges, and more that introduce "content moderation" into the platform.

I think you are missing the point. Wealth is almost only restricted by natural and human resources.

However, getting paid in a currency is directly limited by total currency in circulation. Of the total items of wealth in the world, if more and more currency is hoarded at the top 1%, only the top 1% can afford the wealth created by the rest.

In other worlds, wealth is increasing but the purchasing power of it is not reaching everyone proportional to the wealth they are creating.
>Watch out for moving the goalposts.

Says the one who's been moving the goalposts in the first place. The point of this thread was about whether or not the Nobel prize in economics was anti-intellectual and ideologically biased. You chimed in with:

>>>The D in SMD was actually awarded the nobel prize in economics.

Which is why I responded, because this was a non-sequitur and an appeal to authority (of the people awarding the prize, and the question was whether or not these people were biased).

>He was awarded the nobel prize after all.

That means nothing in the context of this thread, and is another appeal to authority.

>"Rigorous reformulation" does not sound like skirting at all.

The SMD theorem was a big deal, yet Debreu wasn't awarded the prize for that, but for a rigorous reformulation of Walrasian equilibrium,[0] which has very strong assumptions.

In particular, that rigorous reformulation, known as the Arrow-Debreu model,[1] fails under weaker (i.e. more realistic) assumptions, because of the SMD theorem.

This is skirting the issue.

>Economy (or climate or orbits) exhibit chatoic and complex behaviour and it is not surprising that they can have multiple stable points (look up bifurcation diagrams for a simple representation of chatoic solutions). If I am not mistaken, one can hear such things routinely in university economy classrooms today especially when giving caveats about models being wrong in general. Even when you include game theory and Nash equilibria with respect to economic solutions, there might not be efficient ways to reach the equilibrium points at all!

A few points:

- It's nice and all that caveats are being given, but what tools are being taught to economics undergrads to handle chaotic and complex behaviour? Please supply links to some university course syllabus as evidence (I'm happy to read material in a language other than English).

- If economics students aren't being taught tools to handle chaotic and complex behaviour, then giving caveats is just paying lip service.

- Game theory and Nash equilibria are tools to deal with equilibria, which is what neoclassical economics is comfortable with. To be more realistic, you need to look at what happens in disequilibria, as you've pointed out yourself.

- Chaos theory also showed that equilibria may never be attained at all by a system, so the obsession with equilibria in economics is, at best, unproductive.

>That is to assume that every equilibrium solution you get is tied to a specific policy or a set of them (or even more, an ideology!) or that points can be reached easily which are very strong assumptions. Maybe some ideologies don't exhibit any reachable equilibrium points or pertain only to unstable ones.

Agreed. Unfortunately, neoclassical economics, thanks to its underlying ideology, assumes that equilibrium points can be reached by the "free market" and are desirable.

They have said it better as "giving representation to other nations". It is less usual to grant other nations representation in the house and senate, but the Native American tribes are not exactly independent nations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21275381
> That actually demonstrates the opposite: despite the fact that the images themselves show the expansion of a grid in a two-dimensional space, each of the dots appears, from its perspective, to be at the center of the expansion, unless you either specify an absolute frame of reference, or (which amounts to the same thing) can identify the edge of the expanding region.

The image isn't enough to demonstrate the difference. But the speed of light is, along with the way acceleration and redshift work.

> Of course, we can figure out what it would look like, but if that is your argument, then it is circular.

A chain of logic that starts with the evidence we have, goes on to what telescopes show elsewhere, and then concludes about expansion, is not circular.

You might have some specific circular argument in mind, but there are non-circular arguments for what GP is saying.

What was the evolutionary pressure that made us intelligent - could it be ranged attack?

First, what I'm calling the Geo-Fermi Paradox - why are we the only intelligent animal on Earth?

Sure, it has advantages - but other animals would gain those advantages too. So why didn't they become intelligent (or, at least, more intelligent) too?

Sure, there was climate-change in Africa that rewarded adaptivity - but why didn't all animals in the region become intelligent (or, at least, more intelligent)?

This article has a good argument for bipelalism (due to forests becoming plains). And an interesting argument for stone throwing (and not available to bipeds like ostriches and emus).

Throwing rewards spatial reasoning, providing an evolutionary pressure It's not clear to me that this would lead to intelligence - but maybe it did. (OTOH bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans, and capuchins throw too https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_use_by_non-human_organ...).

Fake doctor saved thousands of infants and changed medical history (2018)
I'm a Christian, but I don't think that passage means human biology is based on God's.

God the Father is clearly not in a physical form throughout the Bible. I believe that's why "graven images" are forbidden in the Ten Commandments, as they'd mislead people into thinking of him as a physical being. God the Father as depicted in the Bible is closer to an omnipresent, omniscient mind that runs the universe as a simulation inside itself and occasionally talks to entities inside the simulation through avatars, dreams, and visions.

Rather, I think "in his own image" there refers to sapience, self-awareness, and creativity - what is called elsewhere in Scripture "the breath of God".

Much of what makes the Incarnation of Christ so meaningful is precisely that God is made man, with hands, feet, head, and heart. He is Emannuel, "God with us," come to debug and repair the system we broke from within, knowing our suffering and giving us the knowledge and strength to help repair it ourselves.

That all loses a lot of its meaning if God the Father is just a big man on a throne in a cloud somewhere (an image that I have never found anywhere in the text and am puzzled as to where it came from). He was always just one of us if that's the case.

So, yeah. Despite apparently sharing your fundamental beliefs about the world, I think you're way off base about why humans walk.
Clarifications (this website perpetuates some common misconceptions):

- A single bitcoin "transaction" can actually have thousands of inputs and thousands of outputs. So energy "per transaction" or "transactions per second" is not analogous to a typical monetary transaction.

- Bitcoin does not compete with literal credit card transactions (although some use it like that today). I'd compare Bitcoin on-chain transactions with how nation-states settle their central-bank ledgers with gold. Gold is the best comparison to Bitcoin because trading in hard gold is "final". Credit card transactions happen on a higher level in the financial stack. As does cash. As do bank transfers. All of these bubble down into interbank transfers that eventually settle on the base layer of central banks. So compared to shipping and securing gold, Bitcoin is quite cheap!

- Adding to the above point; if Bitcoin succeeds in beind "adopted", it would not mean we no longer use credit cards. Credit cards would just port their underlying mechanism on top of Bitcoin instead of fiat moneys.

You quite literally asked "What would nazi code even look like?" and I replied.
But that’s not observed at all. Despite the fact inequality is increasing, the average purchasing power is increasing overall.

Sure, in some markets (limited supply of housing) more money just increases prices, but that’s an exception, not the rule.
I would use this for anything < int/unsigned. a short * short can result in a signed integer overflow and that is UB.
In C, 'a' is an int so most of those are not char/char operations.

In C++, 'a' is a char and the comparison result is a bool, though it doesn't really make a difference in that function.
In the parent's post, Image does not refer to literal physical shape.

I'm not sure if that's what he/she meant or not.

That the God of the Bible doesn't look like a man or woman is clear from the below verse:

"Therefore, watch yourselves closely—since you did not see any form on the day [God] spoke to you...that you may not act corruptly by making for yourselves any carved image having the form of any symbol, the representation of male or female." - Deuteronomy 4:15-16

So, the injunction against creating an image that looked like a man or woman to represent God, would indicate that he does not physically look like a man or a woman.

That's no doubt why it says, "you saw now form"

I'm pretty sure most people who strongly like OOP are sure their particular definition is the correct one. I haven't seen many people agree about what that definition is though. I generally dislike OOP, but perhaps that's because my definition is "encourages implementation inheritance". As you're keen to note, the standard list of other things (encapsulation, message passing, dynamic dispatch, interface inheritance, and even "establishing protocols") are available in a lot of other languages which people don't generally consider OO.

Perhaps I'm ignorant, but I like my way of doing things, and a.f() is less attractive to me than f(a) for all the reasons I listed.
It is less about how it feels and more about how it looks.

And appearance really only changes when you hit templates. And with D you can't tell (as an outsider) so it just looks like the non templated C++.
