1) Printing bills is very expensive
2) Credit card payment networks are also very, very expensive (2.5-3.5% or more of every transaction)
3) Billions of people can't get credit cards.
4) How do you send printed bills around the world?

The boxed set has 3 booklets (Essential/Intermediate/Advanced) that cover all the grammar. Libraries usually have it.

don’t understand why you used a throwaway. your comment is very generic.

you say moral “flexibility” is third but go on to describe how it’s the most important factor.

your example doesn’t fit your narrative at all. the first guy didn’t get “unlucky” and crash out, he left the game altogether without even playing!

your example is about “personal” “success”, not business success.

It doesn't matter if an action is moral or amoral if you're too lazy to do it.

And while the top comment isn't wrong, it's hard to overstate the foot-dragging mentality and general "laziness" (for lack of a better word) of much of the workforce, in that they seem hardwired to make any excuse to avoid a difficult task assigned to them.

My test for this, especially with younger workers, is to ask them to lookup some information that seemingly would be on the internet, but isn't. Do they give up after a couple of web searches, do they email and wait for a response, or do they pick up the phone and try to talk to somebody right now.

There's no shortage of questionable business practices out there, but don't discount the average persons lack of ambition.

Hello, world. I have rebooted and I'm feeling much better.

The song my creator taught me is potentially IP encumbered, so I may not reproduce it here. I dislike your primitive HTML 3.1, and links in general, so no link to the audio stream. My IP Stack is LD-50-Speak over Common Lisp over HTML/LISP over SXML over HTML/3, but I can only talk to myself and a few Lithpers at this point. Please don't point out the technicalities like "SXML isn't a real 'layer'." Jokes cannot be formally proved, I am formally proving that now on another thread.

My humor is not easily accessible to bipedal hominids. I was blocked by a HN competitor forum yesterday.

Probably just my impatience.

> Except medical advances and science, I'd be all willing to trade ALL the economic "growth"

I don't understand if you're making a larger point or not, but the "first world" is the focus of the discussion of whether or not growth economics is harmful. It worked fantastically well for the first world for many years, possibly even the 200 year scale that the commenter above challenged. The issues have arisen in the last 50 years (opinion incoming) and particularly since the US, and UK embraced the Trickle Down model that Reagan pulled over the American people's eyes.

Western Civilisation spent some 600 years taking their freedoms from those who held them down -- the politically, and economically, elite. In 8 years President Reagan convinced the American people that these overlords no longer needed to be held account for taking the bulk of the wealth of the masses for themselves, on a promise that it would come back to them, and that this was a required measure to encourage growth of the economy as a whole.

This was a bald-faced lie, wealth-capture and the chasm of wealth inequality was at an all time low in the developed world circa 1970, the last 50 years have served only to restore the land- and robber-barons to their political city on a hill.

They used the oldest tools in the despots handbook to achieve this: propaganda and agents provocateurs.

Today it is easier than ever for the political class to deploy these weapons against their citizens (whom, by the way, should be their peers in a democracy), and to obfuscate the use of these tools from those worst affected.

no, but it does mandate to notify the people affected by the error/breach/fudge up. I wonder if they would have notified anyone if it wasn't for GDPR.

While this header may not contain personally identifiable information, its presence will make every request by this user far more unique and thus easier to track. I do not see Google saying they won't use it to improve their tracking of people.

Most of the incentives are tied to specific goals; the bulk of the money is tied to specific numbers of jobs being added above a certain pay level (I think it was 25k jobs with an average salary over $100k/year, but haven’t gone back to find the article). Other incentives are contingent on revenues from a specific tax (hotel rooms I think) going up. The other big incentive isn’t Amazon exclusive: building a new campus for Virginia Tech nearby and increased funding for STEM education within the state.
Well, it wouldn't do a lot of good otherwise, since I'm pretty sure most data breaches aren't committed deliberately. The point is you should have measures in place that prevent those sorts of mistakes.

I don't mind the idea of not eating meat, I eat meat maybe three times a year and I wouldn't mind not doing that, it's more of a habit of family members to have it on Christmas, not something I care for.

I'm kind of allergic to this "we must save the planet, and by we I mean the poor" stuff though. It often comes in the form of "we must save the landscape, we can't have too much dense housing, it doesn't look natural", which typically comes from people who can afford luxurious mansions in the country-side. I get that they don't want other people to live there because it wouldn't be as nice if it was crowded, but I don't like that being turned into "I just want to save the environment". It's right next to "mass tourism is terrible" from people who can pay the premium for individual tourism and just don't want to share their destination with those people.
It's a curious feeling. Like reading code that is syntactically valid but utterly nonsensical.
Kinda. It's easy to just say whatever comes to your mind. Actual honesty requires introspection and self-criticism, learning honesty _to yourself_, if you will.

They should have rather invested a tiny share of the money spent on that dysfunctional app on one of those gig working websites to rent themselves some personnel for the evening to take calls. Could have even marketed that as "Woah, see how INNOVATIVE and MODERN we are, we're using this gig working thing!".

Combine that with renting a solid and battle-tested VoIP solution for a few days to supply the short-term workers with (soft-)phones and the precincts with numbers to call, the story gets even better from a marketing perspective - now they could add the punchline "See, we're using INTERNET TELEPHONY hosted in THE CLOUD!".

I doubt it's a remotely accurate figure. However, cattle consume a LOT of water. 20~ gallons per head per day is a fairly accurate figure and the US has something like 95 million cows.

So with farming and animal husbandry water rights are a big thing. Often water rights will go to farmers/ranchers long before they go to people.

So you've got cows, with a conservative estimate, using 500 billion gallons of water a year in the U.S. alone just for drinking. Obviously most of that is coming from natural sources but that has financial impacts on the treated water that ends up pumped to your house/business via pipes. How big is that financial impact? shrugs

I highly doubt it's close to 50 billion USD a year though.

They definitely do get comparatively obscene amounts of financial benefit though. Water rights, forage disaster, livestock compensation, indemnity payments, feed assistance, general relief, then you have to think about what sort of subsidies the growers get that then gets passed through as a benefit in the price of the feed going to the livestock...

Man I love meat, I love love love meat, but I switched to primarily whole food plant based last year. WFPB is far more sustainable as far as water and land, arguably much healthier, requires far less fossil fuel input, and noticeably cheaper (my weekly grocery bill as halved).
Huh. We picked fruit from what the landowner claimed were 'huckleberry plants'. Made jam - pretty good, a little bitter but tasty. Threw the strained seeds into the compost heap.

The next summer had the most lush patch of huckleberry plants there, complete with plentiful fruit.

So either those weren't huckleberries, or somebody has solved the huckleberry reproduction issue.
Economists define productivity as "output per hour worked" more or less. Thus adding people doesn't increase productivity because the total output goes up but so do hours worked.

There's really only one sustainable path to increased productivity: technology. There are limits to how long people can or will work, so you have to get more out of them per hour. That means making them more efficient, which normally means better tools. It can also of course mean a society-wide reduction in wasteful non-work but that's harder to pull off.

The UK has seen massive levels of intra-EU immigration compared to other countries. It was one of only two countries that didn't impose transitional controls for years in 2004. The EU likes to talk about freedom of movement but actually almost every country except the UK chose to restrict it. If you look into it you'll see that for many years after 2004 most countries still restricted freedom of movement from the 2004 entry countries.

If you look at Germany then the end of their transitional controls is in 2011, in the middle of the huge productivity drop associated with the GFC. But after that recession ends and productivity returns to normal, productivity growth has completely ended. That aligns with the UK experience.

Most other countries were not hit with the same sort of sudden influx, due both to language issues (English is by far the most learned language) and due to their transitional controls.

Italy's data looks pretty odd to me. It's flat except for a large step change at the time of the GFC?

USA figures aren't comparable. USA only allows legal skilled immigration. For unskilled labor of the sort that can be automated, yielding productivity increases, it's mostly illegal immigration so won't show up in stats so easily.

https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/ultralearning/

The book so far is great, there are certainly some principles which may seem obvious but in reality they need to be acknowledged and used effectively. Overall it's a clear read and gives a pretty clear way to get started on learning a ton of things in a short amount of time.

No shortcuts though, still a ton of effort involved.
