there is no feasibility limit for UBI. The limit is inflation and that is decided by the component costs of products.

You have, like, two natural choices of contrasts to red: green and blue, maybe black/white. There may be more involved reasons why green is more globally common as a second color choice than blue, but I don't think it's surprising that they use a green even without special cultural connotations.
Spinach, Kale, and Beans are as close to “magic” health food as you can get. However there is of course no magic going on. It’s just a question of giving your body the right source materials to heal itself from the damage caused by eating unhealthy food. The body is amazing at healing itself. But it can’t do it if you keep damaging it with crappy food and don’t give it the nutrients it needs to heal itself.
I'm curious how you'd extract a human heart from a willing human donor without killing the donor. I'm also curious how you'd similarly prepare the human donor in any way to meaningfully reduce the chances of rejection, like genetic modification.

It's not classified anymore (I linked to a story that gives more info than I did), and you can be sure they won't tell me most details of things I ask about. If you think they sit there and tell me state secrets, think again lol. They're quite frustrating to talk to about this kind of stuff with because they won't answer most questions, or answer vaguely, and give absolutely no visual or audio indication of what they're thinking or what the answer might be. No wink-wink nod-nod. Completely dead-pan. You don't get to the level they were at by not understanding what you can and can't talk about. They don't slip up when drinking. They're still active in the community in the public sector side post retiring.
> The benefits of those efficiency improvements are already going to the owners of the capital, not to workers, and this has been going on for decades. If in 1980 you were able to replace 4 clerks handwriting transactions in an accounting ledger with one clerk typing them into a spreadsheet but pay that one clerk marginally more than a handwriting clerk, who benefits most in that equation?

The effect of productivity improvements on the real incomes of workers ultimately depend on how the change affects productivity of the marginal worker. You need to look at more than a single firm to figure this out. If the availability of spreadsheets makes clerical workers so much more productive that overall demand for their services increases more than four-fold (which might be definitely possible), the marginal spreadsheet-tweaking activity will be paid quite a lot, and workers' income will increase.

Yeah, the Post complaint (echoed elsewhere) is basically a call for having a social credit score that can say “you’re not a good person, so we’re not going to let the doctors save you.”
The problem is that there is no real definition of the old Internet. All we know is what it isn't. It isn't facebook, it isn't twitter, it isn't tiktok. Also, it isn't decentralized in the new sense of the word.

The old Internet is not a page with flashing colors and dancing babies, you can still create those today. It isn't geocities, or its newer counterpart neocities either.

The old internet is people making their own website. It's old because people surfing on the web today think that having a website is a business decision. Before it was just cool to own one.

Step 1 is to remove plausible deniability, e.g. urgency being used to bypass existing controls, and restore some systemic control. Ultimately we will need new systems to prevent this from happening again, at many levels of governance.

There are many nested challenges, e.g. system/regulatory capture is not new, but can you think of a single historical example with pervasive lockstep censorship across media, industry and government in multiple countries? Did government relief/stimulus funding distort incentives for health outcomes, e.g. ineffective high-fee ventilators vs. early treatment with existing drugs?

Even in the face of lockstep censorship, as truth/facts surfaced in 2020-2021, why did no organized presentation achieve widespread public visibility? Without an accurate threat model (e.g. infiltration of health freedom groups, https://ccsfreedom.org/), truth will not be sufficient to prevail against organized opposition.

Oh yes - though each time his opinions backfired on him he went and did a 180 on them in some way as long as he gets dry out of the water. What an amazing role-model indeed.

And you can have your opinions quietly instead of standing on the rooftops and tooting songs in your own name. If people find out that someone, say, does charity work that speaks a lot more powerfully than someone that does a photo-op and then advertises to everyone what a truly generous person there is. So which out of these is having opinions, which is virtue signalling, and to which column does Mr Neil Young apply to?

No major reason other than I might as well use VS Code since it seemed very popular for writing Python.

But I actually recently wrote a todo to try out PyCharm Pro. I haven't decided if that's pointless yak shaving since VSC works pretty well for me. But I would like to configure VSC more to make my workflow faster. And my guess is PyCharm Pro is probably better out of the box vs having to spend time configuring VSC settings (so many settings...) and plugins.
It's a fuzzy thing yes. But it is still clearly not safe to drive everywhere with AI. A claim was made by experts and leaders about AI how by now self driving cars would be ubiquitous. That claim was wrong. That does say something about AI. It is a counter claim against the initial claim.

I think that's definitely true but we have some heavier examples than the ones you listed and at the same time massive natural resources which include iron (and many other metals), hydro and timber as well as significant local value generation in high-tech and services.

It's an interesting article but I'm not sure I believe his arguments in the last few paragraphs. It's absurd to compare health care, child care, and education to things like cars, television, and manufactured goods. I do believe that quality of life has gotten better but I don't think it's because of cars or things like smartphones which many could argue have actually made life worse.

I read this is surprisingly common especially with older couples. People like to have their own space and when you get older comfort is more important because your body isn't what it used to be. Snoring, keeping separate hours, stealing blankets, freezing feet, etc. It all adds up. People don't need to sleep all night together to be a couple or to have sex. If anything, its kinda weird we are expected to share a bed and a room with someone else.

I'll be honest, if I had this setup, I think my previous relationship would have lasted longer. Its not for every personality and attachment type, but I think its for many.

What's the better relationship? The one where they each have their own personal space and aren't resentful over being kept up with snoring? Or the couple that toughs it out because they're supposed to?

I also think the long-tail economics of capitalism is about shrinking worker entitlements to enrich capital holders. Not too long ago you'd have a house with a spare bedroom or two or three. Now you're huddling in a condo or apartment that's 1bd or two, if you have kids. So we romanticize having less because its easier than challenging the system.

This is overhead; cost of doing business. Finding out you have a bug so you can fix it is much cheaper than not finding out until your customers have been attacked. Trying to get those customers back or get new customers is much much more expensive.
The thesis of this article seems to be that robots won't eliminate jobs, but it really doesn't adduce evidence to support that:

> a recent paper ... put forward a “new view” of robots, saying that “the direct effect of automation may be to increase employment at the firm level, not to reduce it.”

"At the firm level" is quite the caveat! If a company can produce two widgets per worker instead of one by adding robots, it'll succeed and grow as a result - at the expense of its competitors. But if every widget maker adds those robots, and there's no more demand for widgets than before, a lot of factory staff will be out of work.

They touch on a related point near the end:

> Mr Aghion and his colleagues add that even if automation boosts employment at the level of the firm or industry, the effect across the economy as a whole is less clear. In theory robot-adopting companies could be so successful that they drive competitors out of business, reducing the total number of available jobs.

...but it seems to me like a major problem with the whole framing of the article, not just a "by the way".
1997... I'd built an extremely basic 'ecommerce' type system, using php/fi and mysql... 3, IIRC (slight chance this might have been mSQL). This was run off a shared hosting system, and... after running for a couple months... it was suspended. The client was ... livid/upset/angry/etc, and I was trying to deal with hosting support. "You're running abusive software which is damaging our server(s), and we've disabled the account until you fix this".

Firstly, the account was completely disabled, so I couldn't log in to even see what was wrong, or to even make a change once I might figure it out. Secondly, they wouldn't tell me what the problem was. Eventually - 2 days later - someone from support said I were typing up their CPUs with my 'shitty SQL', and I should learn that 'select *' was garbage, and my client should hire a 'real developer'.

So... the server is having huge CPU spikes and clogging their network switch (got this over another couple days from another support person). After 8 days, the site/account was back online, and, the real culprit was one of the other 200 accounts on that shared server - they were blasting out spam.

But hey... yeah, have someone grep for "select *" and take immediate action. That it didn't actually stop the problem after a couple hours should have been the first clue.

That was my last direct experience with 'shared hosting' and one of my first "SQL snob" encounters.

Note that the study was only till August 2021 and it also says:

> Given the high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, underreporting is more likely. Therefore, the actual rates of myocarditis per million doses of vaccine are likely higher than estimated.

Here, in Ontario, Canada, till Jan 16, 2022:

https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/documents/ncov/ep...

> "The highest reporting rate was observed for males aged 18- 24 years of age following dose 2, at 193.8 events per million doses administered."

And this pre-print says that while "the risk of hospital admission or death from myocarditis is greater following COVID-19 infection than following vaccination", however "the risk of myocarditis following vaccination is consistently higher in younger males, particularly following a second dose of RNA mRNA-1273 vaccine."

Aka, risk of myocarditis for men under 40 years old is consistently higher from the shots than from infection.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v...

While this last link is a preprint, in the "Main" section of the pre-print, the authors note that this preprint is an update to their previous Nature article:

> "Our recent article on the association between COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis generated considerable scientific, policy and public interest [1]. It added to evidence emerging from multiple countries that have linked exposure to BNT162b2 messenger RNA vaccine with acute myocarditis [2-8] .In the largest and most comprehensive analysis to date, we confirmed prior findings and reported an increase in hospital admission or death from myocarditis following three different types of vaccine including both mRNA and adenoviral vaccines. Importantly, we also demonstrated that across the entire vaccinated population in England, the risk of myocarditis following vaccination was small compared to the risk following a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test [1]. However, myocarditis is more common in younger persons and in males in particular [9, 10]. Additional analyses stratified by both age and sex and following a third vaccine dose were requested as vaccine campaigns are rapidly being extended to include children and young adults. Furthermore, given the consistent observation that the risk of myocarditis is higher following the second dose of vaccine compared to the first dose [1, 11], there is an urgent need to evaluate the risk associated with a third dose as booster programmes are accelerated internationally to combat the omicron variant [12]."

My lawyer friend and I are both Australians, and he works as a criminal lawyer in the Australian legal system.

The US inherited the basics of its legal system from that of England. Australia did too, along with many other countries. So at a very high level, the basics are the same. But, there has been a lot of divergent evolution, so as we drill down into the details lots of differences come up.

I think one huge difference is not really legal but social – Australia has always been a less violent society, with less violent crime and less social conflict than the US has, which reduces political pressure for punitiveness in the legal system. On a per capita basis, the US homicide rate is 5 times that of Australia, and while these numbers go up and down, I think it has been consistently significantly higher than Australia's, for many decades.
Television's "The Brady Bunch" depicted an upper-middle-class household with a live-in maid and a nice house in an LA suburb that did not otherwise live extravagantly by the standards of a decade or two later, when basically no one in the US except maybe the out-of-sight-rich had live-in help any more.

1. What platform do use and why? I’ve seen appsumo, gumroad and what appeared to be self host/build in that post and related links off of it.

2. How are you getting paid ( through the platform/ through Stripe)

3. Can you move your content from your current platform or did the terms mean you cannot?

4. Any other advice?

Am I gonna make real money if the digital products are good (market will tell yes yes!) or is this something that only works with loyal followers or those with great creds?
