> I personally thought the screenshot labeled "have to do better than this" was the most readable. The one after that just looks faded.

Hm. I like the "better" one more. However, it's cheating -- the first screenshot displays a lot of white text in the filters and the text of the questions. The text of the questions is most of what I find off-putting about the first screenshot.

The second screenshot displays no white text at all. The filters menu isn't visible. The text of the questions isn't visible. Text that's gray in the second screenshot is also gray in the first screenshot.

What kind of comparison is this?

The Shell's Building Blocks
I didn't say that. I didn't even suggest that he didn't create the term. I just said that there's no reason to assume, just because a phrase exists in famous work of art, that it is the origin or popularizer of the phrase. The person I was responding to said it was interesting to learn the origin of the phrase, except no one actually posted anything indicating it was the origin. It just contained it. Maybe it's the origin. I'd be interested in a good source for it. But the normal places I go to to get reliable etymologies (there are plenty of terrible sources for etymologies, unfortunately) don't have that phrase in there.

In other words, I was saying "that's a bad assumption, but I can't actually confirm or deny whether the conclusion is true."

I don't know where you or other people responding to me got the idea that I was saying anything other than exactly what I said. I'm not sure where the breakdown in meaning has occurred.

From a good Twitter reaction thread by a longtime JFK assassination commentator: "there's a continuous thread of reference to mostly-black pre-rock music as knowledge of just what happened to JFK and mostly white pop/rock as a kind of rebellious sublimation or, if you like, extrovert denial, acting out the rage but not admitting what happened"

One theory is that the lyric "howl Wolfman, howl" may be a reference to George H. W. Bush, whose CIA codename was Timberwolf and who claimed for years not to remember where he was the day JFK was assassinated.

Here's how it looks to me. Wealth often (though not always) comes from increased productivity. That usually looks like new tools or techniques making people more productive. That new productivity creates more money.
When that happens, the workers that know how to use the tools deserve some of that new money, because they are now producing more. But also, the one who bought the tools gets part of the money, and so does the one who makes the tool. (If you think that the workers deserve all the new money, then nobody bothers to buy the new tool, so there's no new money. Who does that help?)

So the one who buys the tools in fact needs to get some of the money from the new productivity. He's not taking what "belongs" to the workers, because the workers don't deserve all the money, because without the new tools there isn't any new money.

The contribution of the billionaires, then, is precisely that they bought the new tools that enabled the new productivity that produced the new money that the billionaires collected part of.

Now, you can cite me plenty of examples where this is abused - where the billionaires take most of the money, and the workers get to keep having a job and nothing more. That's wrong. But it's also at least counterproductive to say that the billionaires/investors/capitalists don't get paid back for buying the tools. (I would argue that it's more than counterproductive; it's immoral. But at a minimum, it's counterproductive.)

Great. That was my original point. That housing construction depends on local considerations.

So why don't you stop judging the housing where I live? You've insultingly called our houses "paper" and a "scam". And now you're swearing.

I'm not judging housing in your country, but you're judging mine. I'm not asking you to "give an inch" on where you want to live, but you're the one saying Americans are making bad decisions in how they build.

I would expect the base axioms to be specified by the author of the paper. That is, by the guy who claims to understand it.

After that the steps of the proof should be just turning the handle, and perhaps the distance between steps to be bridged automatically. Maybe you wouldn't understand what was going on and likely not understand the end product any better but at least by symbol manipulation alone you should be able to make a path and verify that start via steps arrives at conclusion

Sure - different "math" for every stage of business on what to do with cash. But I think it's common (once in the revenue-generating phase) for companies to plan not to burn cash down beyond some contingency level. If the worst case scenario used in calculating that level of reserve cash is relatively mild compared to Pandemic'19 they could be headed for trouble.

So we have to look at what "attacking a specific ID" even means.

With separate room numbers and PINs, it means you know the room number but not the PIN. Simple enough.

But in the long-id scenario, that means you have part of the ID, but not all of the ID. That's pretty unlikely to happen. Instead, situations where someone would have leaked the room number will take one of two routes: either the person leaks the longer ID, and there is no attacking necessary, or the person realizes that the secret code needs to be secret, and nothing is leaked at all. Either way, attacks on a specific conference ID no longer happen.

> The number of people died in Gulag in our country was way higher than the number of people died in fascist concentration camps

Yet when the USSR was overthrown, there were barely any political prisoners to be found.

Your claim has no proof to back it up, unless you mean "The Gulag Archipelago" by Solzhenitsyn. That is widely known by historians to be unreliable fiction.
I see. So you are saying that my claim is ludicrous because food is worth less than what it costs.

You are suggesting that food should be sold at a loss to the producers.

You are saying that food is a fundamental right that excuses the exploitation of a labour force that is essentially paid slave wages to feed those who want to pay for food less than what it costs.

Basically, you find it ludicrous that slavery is frowned upon by..the population that is slaving to feed billions of mouths.

The customer is willing to pay less for food that is reliant on long supply chains, then they deserve to starve when said supply chains fail them.

You have to make "sacrifices" to live in a higher density area. I put the word in quotes because it's of course highly subjective, and some folks consider living in suburbia to be a sacrifice.

I live and work in a mid sized town in the Midwest. My main uses for a car are related to being a part time working musician, and I could probably figure out how to use Uber/Lyft/Cab for that activity. My spouse and I can both bike to work, and are within walk / bike distance of basic shopping.

But if you want that lifestyle, you have to demand it. Perhaps somewhere like Berkeley, you don't demand it because it's thrust on you, or the alternative involves 2 hour commutes each way. Perhaps you won't be as choosy about your job, which in any event is a feature of living in a less dense / rich area.

And of course the other problem with the US is that you feel like you have to reach for that high income, because of the risks of being poor or even middle class in a cutthroat society. I suspect if we had free health care and a better safety net, people would be more willing to make those "sacrifices" and live a slower paced lifestyle.
Or maybe instead of some cabal of TPTB keeping Bernie down, maybe people just don't like Bernie. Have you considered that? I think some of Bernie's ideas are fine, though his priorities are backwards. What I can't stand about him though is that he encourages raving conspiracy theorists. McCain shut that down when his running mate encouraged people to shout conspiracy theories at his rallies. Trump and Sanders revel in it.

I don't particularly like Biden either, but he's far and away better than the alternatives.

Industrial food has hidden costs. It depletes non renewal resources. When you pay for pesticide laden food grown with fossil fuels, you are paying for it in another way by way of taxes.

It creates billion dollar industries that don’t really need to exist in the first place. It destroys habitat and marine life with shipping containers plying up and down causing untold damage. It creates futures markets and commodity markets in Wall Street.

You pay. You pay by way of taxes and the cherry on top is inequalities in society and destruction of the only habitable planet we have for now.

Example: California grows 45 billion dollars worth of food..the food economy is worthy about 350 billion. We grew food and exported during drought. We exported water thirsty almonds to Middle East and China during a drought..so we exported water when Californians were asked to ration water and our water bills went up. And we paid the cost with no benefit to California. The beneficiary of a scarce resource..water..was those who imported Californian Ag produce at a discount when they should be paying more for it.

Not only did we pay..we lost. When Ag workers expose themselves to pesticides, they end up on welfare or Medicare..more than $ cost, we have created a whole new class of vulnerable poor people.

Pay more for your food. That’s what I say..stop destroying the planet for whatever pieces of genetic material you leave behind in your children. Do it out of self interest. Not altruism.

Dark mode is much more readable for many people. That’s why it matters. In my opinion as a user, it’s as much of an improvement as going from a UI with tiny fonts to one with legible text sizes. And once most sites and apps you use have a dark theme, the ones that don’t become even more jarring and noticeable.
> You are suggesting that food should be sold at a loss to the producers.

Absolutely, if you're proposing that the production of food be compulsory. That would, like your original idea, be completely insane.

On the other hand, I never said any of the things you seem to think I did. That was all you. What I'm saying is that if you paid more to produce food than that food is worth, you're still not going to sell it at more than it's worth. Instead, you should try to find a less stupid way to spend your time, something that is not actually worse than nothing.
How does a strategic reserve protect us from being an importer?

Doctors are deciding what the cause of death was, not the government.

It will also include people withot ncov-19 that died due to health care system being overloaded.
Pretty cool. Would be nice to see deaths too.
