>It's kind of his money that he controls. He can do a lot with it, but he can't buy a yacht with it... You don't get the favorable tax treatment without a ton of restrictions on how you can spend the money.

Bill Gates would never need to buy a yacht with his foundation money because he would buy a yacht before he made it foundation money.

It's like saying I can't buy a new TV with my retirement funds, but, I can certainly buy a new TV and contribute less to my retirement funds -- the end result is the exact same dollars went to the exact same end, I just organized them differently.

A version of this is that every kid who got scholarship money or loans knows how to bucket expenses to use your "limited use" dollars on qualifying expenses that would otherwise be paid by general funds, freeing up general funds for things. The net result is that the loans paid for nonqualified expenses, but they were organized appropriately.
And to knowledge, I'd add disposition. It's been years since I've been in finance, but the best traders I worked with were all very driven to succeed, to dominate, to win. Markets were really interesting to me, but I never cared much about that part.
It also matters in the sense that one can't avoid certain regulation by claiming to be a public forum rather than a publisher while not being a public forum at all

Industrial Society and its Future is a great piece of analysis and writing marred by its psychopathic author. Although, I agree with the author that his terrorism helped get the essay read more widely, and that sickens me, because of course I wouldn't have read it if he hadn't murdered those people.
The topic at hand is a red herring? Unable to support a claim which was not made? I'm assuming you're referring to the final end results rather than "what could they be thinking?" which was, as stated, the actual topic.
I find this worldview really funny.

Every time I try to pronounce "Auvergne" to a French person they quite literally cannot comprehend what I'm aiming for. It's pretty remarkable that I've been trying for years at this point and still can't get it right!

That remark wasn't about how much is written in C, but what is done with the portion that is written in C (in contrast to the popular JS-based editors). In emacs, the portions in C appear to mostly be (no desire to produce an actual breakdown) there for:

1. Handling system calls for IO, networking, display

2. Implementing the elisp language itself

3. Implementing some things so they're faster than raw elisp

And the preference seems to be to expose, to the greatest extent possible, functionality to the elisp users, even if it's actually implemented in C. This is in contrast to the popular JS-based editors which seem to be more interested in a more controlled/limited exposure of functionality to users.

I hear you on land and population. There is also climate changes, limitations to fertile soil and many other things.

As I mentioned in my edited comment above, most large farms are cattle ranches or livestock that need massive amounts of land. Those also aren't as affected by weather. Unless people stop eating meat (they won't) then ranches will always exist and there will be at least a doubling of the need based on current populations to projected.

For plants, controlled conditions are always better. So when certain crops are viable to do indoors/vertical it will be economical to do so with less risk. That is already the case with marijuana, herbs etc that are smaller but also big business and will grow (no pun intended).

If people do start eating more plants instead of meat, and products move plant based more and more, indoor/vertical farming could become more necessary largely due to access/shipping/fulfillment and even labor availability. Right now current farming would not be able to support if everyone became vegan or vegetarian.

If population does top out and people are happy in cities, then your prediction is probably correct. If people don't want to live in cities as much due to other situations (climate change or pandemics or politics or other) some of that land may be more profitable in other uses. As industries move more remote and housing costs are too high in cities, people will spread out.

Efficiencies also come with indoor/vertical that you can't get on land: limited use of pesticides, recycled water or water constraints, recreating soil fertility, weather control, etc. Where soil is not fertile, vertical/indoor farming is a potential solution as it can go where land based farming can't always.

Final point, indoor/vertical/controlled farming would make humans able to survive on other planets or if anything were to ever happen with events that might make outdoor conditions risky or less viable. Everybody's bunker is going to need a good indoor farm.

I hate that I have to preface this, but I'm a democrat who voted for Biden and doesn't question the outcome of the election. That said, our society does not need this kind of gerrymandering in our online discourse. People need to forget politics for a second and realize the true harm companies like this are inflicting by effectively playing god.

There have been studies that indicate women on birth control prefer men with less masculine faces (presumably from lower testosterone). So with birth control around since the 1950's, perhaps there is a link.
I'm reminded of two facts from Matthew Walker's book Why We Sleep:

* People 5-18 years old sleep ~2 hours less per night than they did 100 years ago.

* U of Chicago study found that men who limited their sleep to 5 hours per night for a week experienced a drop in testosterone equivalent to 10-15 years of aging.

Seems logical and what my anecdotal experience has been from talking with friends and family. There is one exception. There is a small percentage of far-right and wealthy that largely ignores social distancing, in my experience.

It does make sense though overall. The wealthier you are the more likely you are to have a significantly more comfortable living experience that makes social distancing more bearable. More access to food/grocery delivery, more access to entertainment and technology, more access to at home recreation/exercise equipment, more space in your home or the financial means to change that. The list could go on.

In short money buys you space and things to fill your time alone.

Bodybuilders think high estrogen levels cause roid rage. Might be lies they tell themselves, might be a valid observation.

On the other hand normal levels testosterone supposedly saturate receptors. Big exception is muscles.
I agree it's sort of a weird stretch ;)
That doesn't track entirely because the behaviors they're talking about are wearing masks and staying 6ft away from people. Both behaviors cost nothing.

I’d need to dig up the links, but my understanding was the opposite—rich people have harder to analyze finances compared to low cap with simpler finances. So they audit the easy ones even though low reward.

This seems easy to automatically audit? I mean there is a government record of who receives the money.
It probably depended on where you were. I attended grade school in the US in the 1990s and got into only one “fight” where punches were thrown. No teachers were around but there would have been punishment had it been reported.

Nuclear weapons is significant, but recently I've been considering how much information also plays a part.

Information about other powers is much more accessible now and spying is easier given the internet. If they weaker power knew beforehand that they were in fact weaker, it makes no sense to challenge.
I believe they’re fairly successful at their data offerings though, and actually making a profit. Isn’t that sustainable?

Tons of factors influence hormone levels. There's nothing strange about thinking widespread social patterns and physical changes in the environment (diet, air pollution, etc) could lead to widespread hormonal changes within a population.

You seem to assume testosterone levels are only a function of genetics, which they are not.

Pure speculation, but it’s easy to see how people like them can conceal their wealth. One data point is that Gadaffi had by some estimates, $200b in wealth stashed around the globe when they unwound his estate. Bill Browder asserted that, when Vald was consolidating his power, he took half ownership in all of the oligarchs’ business in exchange for not jailing them.
To be fair you probably never made anything in your own time interesting enough for your employer to take notice.

So, 'something' must be able to turn a photon of one wavelength into a photon of another wavelength, otherwise we'd only have 1 wavelength of light in our universe.

Moreover, if we assume conservation of energy, changing a photon w/ wavelength A into B leaves over some energy C, that again, assuming some mechanism of changing energy into light, a new photon could be emitted.

So which assumption is wrong?
(1) Light comes in many different wavelengths
(2) Conservation of energy
(3) Non-light energy can be changed into light energy
(4) Light color follows the photon model for the relation between energy and wavelength.

It's a little more subtle than that - more strength of network effects than mere number of users - but pretty much.
Indeed. I first learned about the megaranches from Edna Ferber's 1952 novel Giant and the transformation is a major theme of the book. (Incidentally, I created an account on some forum while I was reading the book and out of laziness borrowed the name of one of the characters, Jett Rink. I have used that name on the internet ever since.)
Twitter also has the right to avoid scrutiny as a publisher by being a public forum. They are not acting as a public forum, however. This isn't going to be straightforward. Laws (or regullations), or Twitter's behavior, will have to change.
That's because everyone is in front of screens these days, usually seeking attention.
And that's a good thing!
It could be a second order effect - the less wealthy you are, the more often you are required to not social distance (due to living situation and work etc) so in the times you can, there's less pressure or desire to.

> Tangentially, I think 4th edition and now 5th edition lost a lot of the creative soul of earlier editions - the lore is much more heavily integrated with the rule set and feels a lot more prescriptive. but that could just be nostalgic bias as I grew up with 2ed.

I think that’s true in a superficial way that helps people new to it get into it, but I also think the core is more streamlined and easily adaptable than the earlier versions (particularly the pre-3e versions), and there’s quite a diversity of different-setting-and-flavor options in the core (primarily, in the DMG), and a good diversity of both generic tools and specific built settings and reusable setting elements, both first- and third-party, so even if the core doesn’t push as hard for “build it yourself”, the support for that is as good as earlier editions.

If we tax the rich more we'll be owned by China? That feels a bit like an insincere argument. Anyone wanting to buy large sums of Amazon stock could do so right now. Hoarding large sums of money isn't really beneficial to society and the huge sums are far past the point of justifying innovation and job creation incentives.
They all have infinite money for all intent and purposes.
At a certain point it starts to become silly to talk about wealth as the ability to buy things, rather than the ability to organize a large portion of the world's economic systems. That's specifically what his foundation can do as long as it's within a fairly broad set of parameters.

Birth control pill usage is slowly but inexorably declining as younger demographics start to favor IUDs more; IUDs were virtually unknown circa 2000 but today they're about equal in popularity. If true then we would expect the above trend to reverse within 20 years.
Another aspect: so many PhDs and postdocs in the sciences do similar work but get paid 1/3 or less of the wages. We shouldn't be surprised they snap up industry jobs in data science, it's way more remuneration than academics, with less stress IMO

Need to find a great, cheap, virtual event platform for a dance show?
I seriously need some help, I hope it's ok to post
here! I’m holding a virtual event that will be live-hosted (by me), where we will share four individual, pre-recorded dance films, and hopefully have a live Q+A with the choreographers afterward. I have three things I’m looking for:

BEAUTY. The subject of the show is dreams, all of these dances are inspired by dreams. Because that's such a visually rich topic, I really want to be able to aesthetically curate the online experience -- so somehow, people don’t just land on a sterile online event page, but something more visually engaging that could frame the dance films. I’d like to be able to make the online experience colorful and textured, but in my preliminary research I haven’t found any platform that could accommodate this. If there’s some kind of other tab/area in the platform where I could share images or drawings, I think that could work too. (Wishing for something more aesthetic than the black squares on zoom.)

INTERACTION. Of course for the Q+A aspect, it would be great to be able to have some video chat element in the service. The choreographers will be tuning in from separate locations. That said, I don’t think each audience member needs to appear on video. If there was a chat feature that would be amazing too, so the audience could “applaud” and discuss the films.

PRICE. I can’t spend more than a couple hundred right now, 500 at the very most. Unfortunate but true. A lot of the platforms I’m seeing are really geared toward corporations doing marketing and networking events, and the prices are in the thousands….that’s really not my world, I’m a super small time choreographer curating this two-day event and trying to break even.

Thank you so much for reading this!
Funny you say that, Lego Island, a game that required niche DX5 features to run properly and thus notoriously never worked in WINE, is finally getting addressed as of July of last year. Those issues in question (10729 and 22039 on WineHQ Bugzilla) were over a decade old, too.

They are monopolies within a set of respective markets/niches when it comes to speech platforms.

GP's point was that private individuals have the power to arbitrarily deplatform speech they don't like, no court order required. The counter argument is 'go find another speech platform', but it doesn't work, because speech platforms have been monopolised by a single-digit handful of individuals.
