The Internet changed things too, but there was still a huge bubble. The article is not about the impact on jobs or our lives, but on the question, if all the investments in AI will eventually be profitable or not.

Feudalism doesn't necessitate endless growth on a finite planet. It had other terrible contradictions, which were solved by capitalism by introducing new contradictions wich lead to crisis faster, more often and with more devastating effects.Of course, I wouldn't want to go back to having Lords own all the land, but wait, we still have those, they're called landlords.

That's not an empirical observation nor a new discovery though. It just an analogy that leans on the definition of Schwarzschild Radius. No one is seriously implying, that we're somehow trapped in the very center of a black hole with the Hubble limit as the event horizon equidistant around us.

In fact, the analogy only holds, if the Hubble parameter is not constant and this new result, if it holds up, would still indicate, that it is not constant. As was expected by the standard model of cosmology. If the Hubble constant is decreasing, and consensus is that it does, than the Hubble radius is also different from an event horizon in the following way: light reaching us from more than 5 billion years ago comes from regions that have always been receding from us at speeds faster than light.

Oh, that's great, thanks! Good, that is was reinstated. Since the text keeps mentioning 'violence', it could be slightly improved, if it also emphasized, how the generations old systemic violence of landlords was ended.

A close family member is having trouble with a terrible landlord... Any wholesome, empowering memes about landlords? I already got this(but it doesn't have to be about Mao):

Also, I'm out of the loop, where did that one line come from originally? You know the one:

The maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.

Is it just copypasta?

People who don't want to say "Inshallah" can instead simply say:

""Mā kullu mā yatamannā al-marʾu yudrikuhu, Tajrī al-riyāḥu bimā lā tashtahī al-sufunu." Not all that one wishes for is attained; the winds do not blow as the ships desire.

Okay, it's probably too long and there is nothing wrong with "Inshallah". I just like this beautiful little proverb with a related, but non religious meaning too (even though my Arabic is almost non existent). Try to practice saying it, even if you don't speak Arabic. Thanks to the nice rhyme and rhythm, it actually becomes really easy to remember after a while.

The author might be Al-Mutanabbi, but it was never confirmed and it could be a pre Islamic author.

I don't think it's fair to say the US enabled it. Rather, the US did it. They're 100% responsible. Nothing would have happened without them, a single tweet from trump could and still can end it at any time.

What's wrong with Lenin?

I don't miss being ignorant, because I'm less scared and angry now that I understand Marxism better. I might still be scared and angry about the state of the world, but at least not in that confused lib way, where you're constantly bombarded with bad news without being able to make any sense of them. Like: "Wasn't that corporation supposed to act ethically? How could the bourgeois state do that? Why is that particular politician so stupid? No way, the soc-dems betrayed us again? Who could have guessed?"

Didn't Biden basically announce the US was gonna do it before it happened?

You're right, that contrast is definitely important.

Yes, that would make sense.

The mentioning of Hachinosu got me thinking about a little thing that annoys me a bit. I think Hachinosu is funny, but also somewhat boring and uncool, because it's such a flat trope. Everyone there is just completely evil, leering drunks, ready to cut their own mother's head of and sell it for a drink. The slavers government send people they didn't like there, so shouldn't some really cool people have ended up there? Or just normal people who got in the way or committed the severe crime of being poor? Just like Australia.

Or maybe they have a three tier system: the work camp on the endless bridge where Robin ended up gets all the prisoners who are really just good honest people who got in the way of the government. Hachinosu gets all the cartoonishly evil caricatures of pirates. And Impel Down gets a carefully curated mixture of 70 % the same as Hachinosu and the rest are either ruffians with a golden heart who were led astray or secret revolutionaries, both of which end up in level 5.5 eventually.

I guess many fans like it, because they are like "finally a place with real pirates, like black beard". And by "real", they mean the caricature they mistake for historic pirates. But if you know anything about real pirate history in the Caribbean you know it's far from black and white.

Wasn't there a theory about rocks being inside teach somehow?

The insanely specific law is man made and part of culture. So it's still an example of weird culture. It's also specifically USian, because other countries have laws too, but not these insanely specialized lawyers to this extend nor their bizarre advertisements everywhere.

If it's about a paper and nothing else works, you could always just email the authors and ask. They gain absolutely nothing from the journal fees, so they lose nothing by helping you and might be happy someone is actually reading their paper.

What?

Nooo

They totally are and this probably won't even change that, just like previous airstrikes. They are just that subservient. Israel is just making sure Syria will never resist again.

The article, as well as the article from the Atlantic it quotes, both keep repeating the number of $800,000 for the price of the food. But the first paragraph of the article says $800,000,000. Of by a factor of x 1000? Either way it's crazy, of course.
