Size me judge do you?

I saw him in a parking lot at Stanford one time; I'd say 6' and change.

Obviously, Sherlock. The govt with the Fed are (or should be, if things don't spiral out of control) the economic governors. You can't talk about either one in isolation because they are symbiotic, not mythologically-utopian, hermetically-closed model boxes that can exist without the other.

The Fed will be pressured to reduce interest rates because corporations are playing Russian roulette too-big-to-fail brinksmanship and will expect a bailout as per usual.. an action the majority undertake will always be excused in a democracy because of political pressure.

Sorry, but it's a doomsayer, tinfoil hatters' failure to understand MMT. Here's one of Bernie Sanders' economic advisers explaining it:

Yeah, this is old and should've been titled as such.

And they even monetize the disappeared by harvesting their organs.

You're mistaken. Prohibition has always failed. 18th/21st amendments and Portugal decriminalization. It's not to say hard drugs are great, but criminalizing them creates more violence and crime in order to access them.

Legalization solves several bigger problems:

- MIC/PIC over-criminalization for profit

- barriers to treatment

- higher prices plus criminal enterprises lead to violent crime, i.e., Mexico right now, and greater property crime of users to support habits

Solving economic, social issues is beyond the scope of drug policy but giving people hope, purpose, mission and security reduces usage. Having a functional community, society are preconditions to deterring substance abuse... whereas failed states and under/unemployment promote it.

No amount of self-righteous crusaders will change human behavior, but they can certainly make it worse with naïve policies.

McKinsey/MBB, Zerodium, Palantir, KPMG/Big4, offshore magic circle, etc. are enablers of inverted totalitarian plutocrats to attack their enemies and defend their power. Does this really come as a shock or a surprise?

If you're designing something that needs to be high-quality, safe, well-documented and is difficult to change later on, say an elevator, waterfall is a good model to consider. For a webapp startup, hell no.

Laws need diffs and refactoring.

The commercial code (UCC) is already a horrible, inconsistent mess.

I was thinking The Onion was being banned because it was predicting the future.

If you read the PDF spec from the late 90's, it is Stephen King novel-scary... container format, multiple encodings, encryption, embedded binaries, embedded JavaScript and more.

I saw these fake emergency rooms all over Texas in strip-malls. They shouldn't be allowed because they don't have the staff or resources to provide adequate care and delay life-saving interventional medicine.

Most of the world uses WhatsApp to end-run around telcos (even though it's insecure and PRISM-friendly).

Doesn't white phosphorus spontaneously combust around 90 ℉?

I worked in both research and profit-center sides at a so-called non-profit private university everyone knows by name with a ten figure endowment management company. They wasted $150 million on a campus-wide accounting system that consultants failed to deploy something usable. And, an 8 year old $30 million donated building was torn down to make way for a $120 million complex with underground parking. They have money to burn, even in economic downturns... they do the feigning poverty routine with so-called budget cutbacks that are ostensibly to cut spending but are in fact false signals to game donors into donating more.

Nearly all US universities are so flush with cash that they're constantly rebuilding to attract customers (ie students). The scamming ones must have owners and executives taking the money and running, because there's no way they can go bankrupt unless they're trying hard to do so and/or completely incompetent at managing business survival.

PS: The associate vice provost of a dept I worked for was reimbursed $80-100 from the university for dinner nearly every night, had a free suite just off campus (worth $3000/month) and seriously requested helicopter rides to work. They were in-charge of the biggest cash-cow besides undergraduate tuition, netting around $200 million annually.

If the chaff had maximum surface area-to-weight ratio approaching spiders ballooning, <2.5 um dust particles and dandelion seeds, and there were enough thermals upwelling air in the area, it's entirely possible for chaff to persist as long as there is an average slight updraft gradient to periodically relift material.

Granted, it's of limited military value unless it were dumped in large quantities (such as an/several E- prefixed US mil aircraft flying air defense suppression/Wild Weasel) and such upwelling wind conditions were present. It's usually intended to create false echoes to misdirect a missile or break a radar lock in real-time with a starting velocity similar to the original aircraft, and then it has no purpose once it separates far from the launching aircraft.

Amazon UK had bathrooms outside of airport-style security where workers had to regularly pee in soda bottles because their minimum performance goals didn't allow time for the distant odyssey and security theater required for a bathroom break.

It's capitalism: cannibalize and sell-out the commonwealth, extract monies to the detriment of externalities borne by citizens on the vague, unfulfilled promises of jobs and tax paying workers because corporations own the political class. Welfare for the rich, crushing austerity and paycheck-to-paycheck 3 jobs/sleepless "trickledown" lies for everyone else.

Income inequality is so obscene that it's far worse than the Gilded Age. Watch this infographic chart video showing the current distribution: https://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM

Umm, okay. IMHO, the most ergonomic keyboard ever was the (defunct) DataHand Professional II. It was so damn expensive that they drove themselves out of business by suboptimal profit maximization. If they cut production costs and cut wholesale prices, they could've made a killing and survived. It seemed like an inventor-led, garage-based company lacking a CFO, design-for-manufacturing engineering and investors.

After watching a dude on YT drive for 20+ hours to hit a bunch of Walmarts for some 100+ copies of a Monopoly board game to sell on Amazon, netting several thousand USD, I was thinking there ought to be a brick-n-mortar/eBay/AliBaba/Amazon arbitrage platform that scans UPCs, product numbers, SKUs, etc identifiers on many platforms and tells the user (within a certain region) which products+retailers to buy from and which platform(s) to sell on to maximize profit automagically.

They have a name for that: public-private partnerships (PPP).

I would say wealth insulates and delays effects, but it cannot stop them completely, i.e., a hypercane, desertification, 1000-year-drought, ESAS methane gun or reduced oxygenation.

Bandwidth equivalent of Zuck's "free internet" (that's not the internet) for poor people in India.

Conclusion: nearly all ISP's are dicks too.

I don't understand: is this paying or convincing other higher ranked to help a lower ranked player?

What action(s) is/are specifically outlawed?

Assuming there's direct evidence, how would this be legally-enforced?

What's the recourse for lower-ranked players who are kicked out based on this law but didn't do anything for gain, say a spouse who was invited to participate for social reasons but doesn't play very often?

Do we really need a law?

It's very hard for humans, much less algorithms, to quickly distinguish marginalized speech of the legitimate, unpopular, thought-leading, high-integrity from conspiracy theorist, utopian, pipe-dream, violence-advocating, mystical nonsense without a deep evaluation of a large sample of content, including understanding satire, snark and comedy. Jimmy Dore, Chris Hedges, Phil Donahue come to mind as marginalized, reliable sources.

Maybe some obvious topics can be blacklisted if they're repeatedly, seriously mentioned like chemtrails, anti-fluoridation, anti-vaxx, zero-point energy, pizzagate and antisemitic conspiracy theories... and an appeal for those who get caught up in a comedy refrain.
