"Theres only a handful of real theorems with proofs" Philosophy is not mathematics. Philosophy asks you the question of what is a theorem in the context of philosophical thought, why should the fractal of reality be…
I would love to use Adafruit boards in my production, but I have to resort to custom Chinese PCB stuff to be competitive. I don't want anything, but taxes and CoL is basic business logic. SparkFun is in Colorado, which…
"the control the US is able to exert over their companies" You have that relationship inverted. The US gov't is a mere shell at this point, having outsourced all its core functions to private companies. There is no…
Buffett knows the S&P always wins because seignorage ends up in the S&P....
So you're telling me that a few stuffy bureaucrats earning a salary of few hundred thousand a year are the ones who decide what happens to the money of billions? Think again. I'll give you a big hint, both the first and…
What's unconvincing is the vagueness of that statement. Lets' get more specific then. Explain, for example, how both the Fed and ECB implemented Basel III. Why do these two "independent" organizations adhere so closely…
"They" are in a dilemma, they either go total global control or they lose control. And it's clear they are going with the former. This is just one more law that makes no practical sense even if the intentions were…

Everything is going as planned. One store credit to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
Thank you, was hoping for someone to point this out. Banks don't take deposits and they don't lend money. Banks create money. When they "lend," what they are legally doing is purchasing a newly issued security for your…
Foucault implied the same. Or at least, suggested that as the scientific definitions are created so too does the phenomena emerge. Ian Hacking expanded upon this and named this concept, dynamic nominalism. That's why we…
That may increase the velocity of money, but it also will drive up prices of liquid assets like index funds as those assets replace the store of value function money. Although my post was more about cleaning up…
When I read posts like this I just think, life teaches only some learn.
I was surprised to see the author's name, because I actually took History of Philosophy: Ancient Philosophy with her at uChicago a decade ago. Her personality really shows through the article - it's highly amusing.…
This headline is exhibit A of how the NYT is our Pravda, the propaganda arm for the .0001%.
Engineers should build software to create a future more transparent government instead.
Yeah that was 10 years ago. I'm on Linux now.
As Naval wisely said when Trump was cancelled, "if you can silence a king, you are the king." FAAMG is the government and the internet. Just a matter of time until it becomes official.
Is it actually so unlikely considering the sheer number of ways it could happen? We live in a society where it's obvious that one event, one invention, and one person can have an outsize effect on all the rest.…
Indeed, but there's unlikely to be many 11 year olds reading this thread.
You realize you are basically defending open cuckoldry right? What world do we live in now where some creepy doctor decides to inseminate all his patients, paternity is completely irrelevant, and any sperm is a good as…
It's simple accounting, as interest payments on the debt become an increasingly higher part of the budget, the end result becomes insolvency. Of course, an actual default for a country like the U.S. is a very unlikely…
(1) At a high level, yes, they look at it. There is a very strong relation between winning and team pay in soccer. There is a reason why Real Madrid has won 4 out of the last 5 champions leagues. Similarly, PSG and…
Quite the contrary, they probably have a very good understanding and are happy to take losing wagers on San Jose and the public is willing to oblige.
That's correct but this not a parimutuel wager, it's fixed odds; so if you take Atlanta at 3 to 1, you will be paid 3 to 1 for Atlanta winning regardless of what other folks bet. In parimutuel your payout would adjust…
