just google the phrase “five billion dollar joint venture”. They don’t come from rich peoples’ pocketbooks, but they do from other areas and are important. And don’t come from governments. They come from the businesses lol.

Similarly, early and late stage venture funding and other forms of funding different companies would also take a haircut, probably (not much with a 10% tax above 100M, yes with a 100% above 100M). Which would suck for people who like medicine and electricity

> ITER and LCH

Yeah governments absolutely can fund things. The question is should they fund everything. And you should note that they weren’t funded by “workers councils”.

dude we have regional workers councils it’s called state legislatures and they absolutely do fund stuff. We even have decentralized hierarchical councils - city and county govt! And they do make infrastructure decisions! What they don’t do is fund chip development or factory scaling. And even the things they do fund they offload the decision work to experts (not workers).

Given the lack of weather and other disturbances, I wonder if it would work to spray a conductive layer directly onto the crater's interior surface, maybe using a hovering rocket with the conductive material injected into its exhaust? I gather craters are hyperbolic [1, 2], but maybe the middle portion is close enough to a parabola to focus waves onto a receiver?

It might not be very environmentally friendly though, as it would be difficult to remove in the future.

Most blockchains require all nodes to process all transactions, limiting the total transaction limit of the system to the rate of the slowest node that's intended to be supported. Ethereum is working on sharding transaction data so that every node only needs to handle all of the transactions of its chosen shard, which will allow the enforced transaction limits to be multiplied by the shard count. There's complexity to this because any single transaction can involve data from multiple shards.

Allowing the global transaction limit to be raised will decrease the competition for blockchain space and massively decrease transaction fees.

There are also other standards being worked on to allow transactions to be made in a way that they don't have to be broadcast to all nodes, which will also allow their transactions to have much cheaper fees. These systems are being developed simultaneously by unaffiliated developers in userspace ("layer 2") rather than by the core Ethereum developers who are working on proof-of-stake and sharding. These systems generally come with their own sets of trade-offs (including what kinds of smart contracts they support and how smoothly they interoperate with outside systems) so they don't completely replace the need for sharding being done by the core developers. ZK rollups and optimistic rollups are some of the main kinds of layer 2 scaling solutions being worked on now.
I dunno, would need data on that. I would think tweeting into the void is more symptomatic.

Stock buybacks are literally just a form of tax optimization. Functionally they are equivalent to dividends. You can do the same debt practices with dividends as well. Other than taxes nothing stops investors from immediately reinvesting their dividends which is the same thing as doing a stock buyback.

What really worries me is that corporations think that doing investments with the money they have borrowed doesn't even enter their minds. Somehow tax optimization has a higher rate of return than actually doing work.
I think the example sentence contains the worst corner-case of such a system. In general, the . at the end of sentence is the least necessary punctuation mark, and quotations of neutral statements should just always omit it.

For example, "this is how a neutral sentence should look like", I would say. I don't think "they saw a vase." looks good even in the middle of a sentence. However, "do I have a question?", or "I am exclaiming something!" do need their punctuation to make sense. Now, it's more ugly when you finish a neutral sentence a quote like "I am surprised!".

Of course, there will be cases, especially in literature, where the . will actually add something to the emphasis of a quote. For example, "I have said it all." could be used to emphasize the period itself - but in those cases, jarring punctuation like `.".` or `.",` would actually help to emphasize the importance of the period.

French quotes, unlike most others, must also be surrounded by spaces (like the other punctuation signs that are made of two parts) like this:

Ah, yes. Exactly that.
This is a good illustration but I'm not sure if follow your rationale. You said that from 0900-1700 you belong to $COMPANY, contractually.

But if you start working earlier or later, say 1500-2300, that would be fine? As long as you work 8h a day, I assume.

In this case you would belong to $COMPANY from 1500-2300 even though in the contract it says 0900-1700. What happens in this case?
Correct. That's what I meant.

All the arguments about “no training” are wrong when a citizen shows up they had 12 years of training. They can presumably read write do basic arithmetic and reasonably socialized and understand a social hierarchy. The public school system did this an having a 28 dollar minimum wage would mean you would have the taxes from those from everyone making at least 28 dollars an hour. But saying they have “no training” is a lie and does a disservice to all the teachers and parents that got this person ready to work.

From risk management perspective obesity and pandemics have completely different risk characteristics. Pandemics are contagious and deaths can grow exponentially, leading to catastrophic outcomes. Obesity is constraint to individuals.

On the other hand. A vaccine that is not as rigorously tested as normal and is used on 80% of the population can also lead to catastrophic results. No one really knows the long term effects for sure. So I understand the paranoia on two sides.

You actually want to use as many different vaccines as possible so no single vaccine can exterminate your population. That’s why I belief natural immunity should be counted as a valid ‘vaccine’, if the science shows it offers similar protection.
I think that both this and what the paper says can hold true.

The paper is saying that from the point of view of the location, the distribution of effective distances traveled is invariant. So if you really like the 45min part of your city, then every one closer really loves it, so visit it much more than you do. Therefore the law holds true, even though on an individual basis you obviously go to the closer parts more frequently.

The fact that you might be prepared to go all the way to e.g. Disneyworld means that the people who live closer are massively more likely to go there to the point where people who live 5 miles from it go there all the time.
The ethical thing to do when you find a security breach is to report it to them. If you support people who are willing to commit crime to get into power then I really hope that you take some time to think about your political convictions.

I’ve never heard PGP described as an algorithm before. I think it’s more accurate to describe it as a signing and encryption envelope standard, which internally supports a whole bunch of common encryption standards.

More generally, there’s broad consensus in the cryptographic community that PGP’s intended uses and design are fundamentally flawed/mismatched against modern actual uses.

Don’t get me wrong! Cryptocurrency is filled with shysters and I don’t use any of them. But we should probably be encouraging users to stop treating PGP over email as if it does anything and instead encourage them to switch to E2EE systems (since that’s what the majority actually want.)

My understanding is that that is an old way of thinking that sounds good but doesn't work.

You need to put in the right type of calories: high GI foods will make it harder for you to lose weight by stimulating insulin production which in turns stimulates your cells to sequester all the sugar in your blood and turn it into fat (and you get lethargic and hungry as a bonus). You also need to exercise as your diet continues: your body will slowly burn muscle mass if your intake decreases for long enough, and with less muscle you burn less and eventually hit a wall. Exercise replenishes that muscle mass (assuming you eat enough protein). It's complicated.

I'm not a medical doctor, the above is just my understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.

> The french have a different speciality: punctuation marks that consist of two parts(i.e. ? ! ; :) are preceded by a space character.

Precision: a non-breaking space (unicode U+00A0) :)

LibreOffice or other word processing software automatically replace normal spaces by non-breaking spaces in that case.

But in text editors (like vim), we must do it manually (Ctrl+Shift+ua0 on Linux), typically when writing a French text in markdown, it's a bit irritating indeed.

> Lobster fed to prisoners was grounded whole, with the shell,

No they weren't! It's a myth.

>In all my research on this subject, I cannot find a single source of lobster shells being crushed in the entire history of lobster canning, between a dozen books on the subject, encyclopedia entries, and two dozen articles about lobster canning. Lobster shells are made out of chitin and are entirely inedible. Furthermore, there is no economical reason for trying to mash up rock-hard lobster shells to ‘stretch’ an abundant product, especially in an era before industrial grinders were available.

>In the colonial times, lobsters were harvested from tidal pools by hand, and were in extreme abundance. They were fed to children, prisoners, and indentured servants. They were also often used as fertilizer and animal feed. According to food historian Kathleen Curtin, prisoners and indentured servants enacting laws to limit how often they were fed lobster is also a myth, and there isn’t a shred of documentation of it actually happening.

And what about when the quoted text is two sentences? Do we write a full stop for the first sentence, but not the second?
I was typing out an explanation/justification to the effect that when speaking aloud, the punctuation at the end of the sentence is 'heard' in the last word, even if the word is quoted. We insert a pause before the start of the quote to indicate it was direct, but there isn't a way of indicating whether, say, a question mark belongs inside or outside the quotation.

But then I sounded out some examples in my head and realised it would be totally obvious. The inflection of the question is apparent from the beginning of the fragment (¿), not just from the inflection on the last word. I knew this already, of course, but I didn't really grok it, I guess because of the limitations of how we write out punctuation in English.

IIRC, this was already the standard story of snake evolution. I believe the remaining mystery revolves around which lineage they evolved from. Skinks, monitors and I believe Plesiosaurs are proposed as possibilities...

At present, there are multiple lineages of non-snake, legless lizards. That basic body plan is relatively abundant, probably was then too. One of these lineages started to diversify into snakes after KT. Large fauna extinctions probably made small prey more abundant, so it's a good time to be a snake. A lot of snakes are mammal specialists, which also succeeded after KT. Snakes may have started to proliferate in response to the post KT abundance small burrowing mammals.
