That’s spoiling at that point
Is that a “random person on the Internet” take or something substantiated?
Yes, but expecting corporations to do it on their own is silly. They operate in a competitive environment so game theory should tell us what’s going to usually happen. The laws and regulations exist, and a lot more are needed, but it’s also not as simple because costs of enforcement also range from inexpensive to infeasible. In the end, it’s people making self-interested decisions, whether on behalf of themselves or on behalf of corporations. I don’t know of any easy solutions - my feeling is that those don’t exist - so the best bet is to steer society towards better and more effective politics. More distributed and less concentrated power structures, checks and balances, enforcement, novel, effective, and efficient systems through science based analysis, as well as lots of trials and errors and fast iterative improvements based on rapid feedback loops. In short, the world nowadays moves faster than the current government systems and it’s a losing battle until governing adaptability can increase in speed.
This describes stealing better than capitalism. And stealing is as old as nature.
I was going off of the info at the top of the graph: “Aug 2023: 306.269 | Index 1982-1984=100” So yeah, ~3% for 40 years is about right. Last three years are way higher though, so the average is not a good indicator of recent inflation. Last 3 years is probably around 6% per year, which is pretty bad.
Replying with a more stupid take at least proves mine wasn’t the stupidest possible.
This graph shows 3% average annual inflation over the last 40 years.
Not great, not terrible.
I’ll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.
If they are gonna burn religious books, why not include more of them? Burn bibles, qurans, vedas, tanakhs, etc. Make the event more inclusive :)
“I should speak less and listen more”
It better be. After all, it was blessed by the Almighty.
Exactly. Spreading and replicating like viruses across host bodies. And just like certain viruses, some can stay dormant for years, never fully going away - e.g. “The Game” (sorry not sorry). :p
That would be an atypical rocket, but it checks out.
What an appropriate homage - linking to one of markdown’s originator’s Wikipedia page using markdown.
“In 2002 Aaron Swartz created atx and referred to it as “the true structured text format”. Gruber created the Markdown language in 2004, with Swartz acting as beta tester … Markdown: Swartz was a major contributor to John Gruber’s Markdown,[249][250] a lightweight markup language for generating HTML, and author of its html2text translator. The syntax for Markdown was influenced by Swartz’s earlier atx language (2002)” from wikipedia
Best 5 seconds of excitement happened at end of Q2 when Max placed 10th and there were still 2 drivers putting their final time in. For a brief moment, I thought Gasly might knock out Max. Good times.
