Not to be contentious but some people may ask, "How much of that revenue is real?" and, "How much of it is inelastic?"

If you're thinking that we would create AGI but contain it and asking would it breech that containment? Yes, and in a trivial amount of time, in all cases. The next question is, "Would it g…

So much fun. What people may not remember was that there was a tremendous amount of competition back then. You had Borland and Lotus and many others, and the future wasn't set at all. There wer…

Oh, that's a good question. It's been a long time. I'll do my best to find it but I very few memories about it, other than what I mentioned and that the premise was (in part) to nurtu…

I read a book by a professional nanny and she believed that the behavioral individuality that you would find in babies already at a few months old (liked to sleep a lot, often grumpy, often giggly) wo…

This is like one of those math problems where the person made multiple errors which canceled each other out. Yes, modern literature, of which American Literature is among, can only be described as mo…

A void. It looks uneven, not like a chamber, but quite large.

I think you've said it all here. No substantial improvements and, if anything, it has set us back by allowing for even more gluttonous behavior.

I know this is about how remote work and that we don't know how bad the collapse of commercial real estate will be -- how huge the tsunami will be, but the sea has pulled back miles from the shor…

In the Czech Republic, and I'm sure this is true in some other countries, many of the exams are oral. The student is given a prompt and they have to stand in front of the teacher(s) and talk abo…

It doesn't require 7,500 people to keep the lights on.

There's a concern that the rise of jellyfish is due to over-fishing, and so the response of, "Hey, let's eat the jellyfish," is, well, worrisome.

The top comment is, "This is what Coldplay sounds like to Radiohead fans," and that's the funniest thing I've read in ages.

Which is all to avoid having to admit you're in a recession to avoid the self-fulfilling prophecy aspects of that. Economists, of course, have a lot of pressure sometimes to avoid speaking the tr…

Gold is one of the few areas which should do very well.

> probable recession Not to be pedantic, but we're already in a recession, defined by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters. What's coming for the US and EU, given bad debt levels a…

An economist who doesn't study history well enough is the definition of a fool.

> possible recession We're entering a depression. It's a completely different beast then most people in first-world countries know or have ever experienced. I think we'll see a de…

I disagree

It is definitely NATO vs the nations of BRICS

We’re living in very dangerous times

Don't they know?

I don't want to go into details, it's pretty simple to cheat if you just get a little creative. On the other hand, it's not that hard to spot, either.

You should go because you're afraid of it

Yes! Let's push this as hard as possible. Monarchies are an affront to all Enlightenment ideals and belong in the history books.

I think the next big thing is global political turmoil along with monstrous economic suffering for many places in the world including US & EU, which have been immune to such things for a while. In…

Using a country as an epithet is something that I haven't seen since high school. Nigeria is a beautiful place which has historically been incredibly rich with resources during a phase of histor…

Seems like we need to write a law (draft a bill).
