I like the green color.
I am assuming they will use the banana ancestor to breed it with their clone, and sell it at cost to the banana, pocketing the difference as profit.
then again, bananas will never pushback against footing the entire bill, so they'll probably get wiped out.
why do you think they're having some trouble finding banana ancestors? how much banana is there left?
it seems that only our instutions, or big chunks of the whole global trade system, want this war; but this this point, a lot of those systems are automated by rules and regulations and a overly complicated network that become inentelligible to the people 'running' it.
nobody that is alive and sentient (in the traditional sense) wants a war... and yet, we all see it looming.
no it doesn't.
that would be equivalent to shooting themselves in the ocean.
for now, they are still under the thumb of the american navy. how else would they ship out all the consumer goods? and to whom? USA is their biggest buyer.
this is applicable to most countries...
wriggling around the law needs only an emergency.
I thought it was a one word combination of "strategy" + "tech"
uff, this is a complicated topic.
I’d like to see better in the public debate.
I'm having a complicated thought... the same points he talks about information asymetry in relation to the preservation of value are at play in the political (i.e. public) games.
I didn't even know there were santa clara principles, in a rough sense, this is maintining some sort of value from the people who have read those to them who don't even know about such principles.
I seem to be thinking that information assymetry is statecraft, a "super-set" of the notion of abuse prevention (IA and security through obscurity) as trade craft (because the state contains the market/trade)
...
but that was the plan... part of the great shift from freedom in software, to open source code.
"is mozilla about open software? or was it about that old RMS (yuck) what was it? looked like a joke... gnu is not gnu?? wut"
/angry-snark
just trying to vent some frustration...
edit: I actually believe that software should guarantee freedom, but I've understood that gnu's play failed, copyright is not the side of freedom of individuals, but on the side of freedom for corporations-as-individuals. my own ignorant opinion (because I'm just guessing) is taboo https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33248402
why would you do that? maybe what you really want is to show them that you can count too?
peano arithmetic (an axiomatiazation of counting) isn't how we count. It is how we make other things count for us.
Why doesn't reader mode work in that webpage?
Whatever happened to the (failing) promises of HTML + CSS ? where I was gonna be able to swap out this CSS for whatever I wanted?
just make sure basic necessities (housing, education, medicine) stay out of the market economy.
the 'market economy' (capitalism) is good at some things, but terrible at others. we need to stop collectively using this social-technology (a kind of market super optimizer) in the wrong places.
capitalism cannot be brought down. this one must fall on its own.
I consider France one of the best examples of capitalism https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1683661/paris-protests-...
wouldn't it be better to learn about where you are and how to find the north by looking at the sun?
then again, this thing could greatly teach how to do this, as long as you stopped wearing it eventually
this is larger than the arts. anybody has ever participated creatively in our culture understands that it's absolute bullshit to pretend we need money in order to want to contribute artistically.
we need money because food is for sale, because most of us do not own where we live hence we are forced (a priori) to come up with a whole lot of money every month or else you're out in the streets.
I'm more worried about the status of freedom in software, open source feels like a mirage to divert the attention away from the original issues from the FSF.
I think allowing people to exclude themselves or their work from a dataset is necessary.
or they could open it all up for everybody and stop protecting the rights of death people (authors dead less then 70 years ago)
then again, that will make the publishers starve... but why pretend publishing corporations need food?
I first encountered that idea as "supernormality"
however the story of withholding technology, education, etc, for profit (of some kind) is much older than this particular latest development.
if you ask me, this 'tradition' is the essence of imperialism (or just one amongs other techniques necessary to have an empire)
algebra is taught comparably badly in many other places...
slight problem, Meta would sell have it... or he could try to buy all of Meta (includes facebook and whatsapp, does Murdoch have that much money?)
however whether the people working through uber are considered uber's employees varies by jurisdiction.
so you should only count those drivers in jurdistiction where they've been clearly defined as Uber's employees
I wonder what is their actual business model then...
is it to have trained employees do stuff and sell this?
or is it to find people in dire need of a job, and after tiring them out through meaningless pointless "training", charge them for this money, and quitely sell this as debt out in the 'financial market'?
imagine how long it'll take to dig out whatever any modern intel has?
sounds like if they know about human governments, they will certainly hide themselves, or come looking for a fight cuz they're likely to get one...
then again, given the technology necessary for traveling that far, it wouldn't be a fun fight for them, so no point in coming.
