Good, fiber and beans are important.

Because of all these wokists, I can’t blame my problems on Papist conspiracies anymore!

Panpsychism is now reactionary.

Tiffany as the dark horse. Everyone forgets Tiffany exists. Even the other Trump children.

Someone already pointed out the individual parts, but to give a bit more context, every major party in the German Bundestag has government funded foundation to put out policy ideas and pamphlets/ideological positions. It is an attempt to have a publicly funded and institutional alternative to think tanks. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is the Left Party’s (die Linke) foundation. Just as a fun irony the SPD’s foundation is the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

Since die Linke is in such a dire state and might go through a split (I haven’t kept up to date with where things are currently) there is the possibility the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation might not continue to get public funding and might disappear.

TBF, Carrion birds and several apex predator fish (like muskies) could eat landlords. But the fish would need the landlords chopped up into small pieces.

Not too recent, but I think I remember him still posting and calling out Genocide Joe about a month ago on Twitter. He is still around, but because he doesn’t have political office, people don’t pay much attention any more. As far as I remember, he was one of the better Soc Dems rather than an open communist though.

In America, dental and health insurance are separate. And many jobs that provide health insurance can often not provide dental insurance. There is a reason teeth are referred to as the “luxury bones”.

I haven’t really dived into the IEEE standards here, but this is a real thing and not purely marketing. It is the resolution of the lithography. Due to the higher clock speeds and current resolutions, the capacitance and inductance of the elements set the size of transistors and routing, rather than just how small you can pattern them. So it is not directly increasing transistor density and processing power, but it means that you are patterning elements more accurately to what you designed and have less variation element to element. Meaning that things can be optimized and more consistent.

You always have low yield when developing new processes. You can’t make a 7nm process by just running 14nm at high throughput/low yield. This is just R&D and process development.

I was listening to people reviewing the first season of HBO’s Rome, and what stuck with me is they pointed out that post-2016, the Pompey/Anti-Caesar faction seems like the most out of touch geriatric Democrats. Even if they are in the abstract on the right side, they are so dedicated to the status quo and can’t seem to understand that things have moved on, and people don’t believe in the forms or institutions anymore. So they are stuck defending institutions from the right and complaining about how Trump/Caesar is not following the norms.

I still stand by my stance that Union Pacific is a poorly run railroad.

He’s not man of the year, he is man of the century!

The Dems want progressive change, but the Republicans keep them from being able to do it.

They can have recessions, depending on how plugged in their economy is to the broader international capitalist market. But often socialist countries don’t because the capitalist free market operates on supply and demand self-correction. This is dipping a bit into control theory and dynamic systems, but broadly, you get oscillations (business cycles) if there are delays and/or too much correction/amplification of signals. So, if there is unmet demand, it is overshot or as the market is correcting, the demand reduces, so that there is overproduction. This overshoot, is often seen as a bubble inflating and bursting.

But to get to why this can be avoided in socialist countries, we have to recognize that this is one of the few dimensions where central planning, even very flawed and crude versions, is robust. The planners can say “we have a demand of 500 units, and only 400 were delivered, increase production by 25%.” Where multiple competing enterprises could just say “There is a market for 100 more units. So expand production by a significant fraction of that (leading to the many competing firms to produce a factor more)”. Because of the lack of coordination, and the incentive to try to capture a large fraction of a market for profit, a lot of these self-correction mechanisms in capitalism overshoot their targets, causing a firm to go into bankruptcy and not pay back debts. But any form of planning can somewhat dampen that, even if fluctuations and errors can lead to some overproduction or shortfall.

Es hat 80 Jahre gedauert, aber jetzt gewinnen wir

God, glad this guy is dead. My former roommate used to do fundraising for non-profits and had to deal with the guy often. Munger was a far-right fascist, as you would expect (a lot of sharing viewpoints unprompted that sounded a lot like Musk now). But it was really mind-boggling because during some of the fundraising events the staff and experts would have to meet with donors, so my roommate had to sit back and watch as Munger tried to explain to literal climate scientists, how he figured out that climate change is fake and not happening.
