Active management funds are more than welcome to beat or keep pace with the market consistently for 45 years. Until then, I'll choose the winning option.

No, there is currently no method to imprison Adobe nor any other company.

You can't, because everytime that happens, a group comes out of the woodworks that says X, Y, and Z need to be done before a general strike can even be considered.

X, Y, and Z usually involve community building, mutual aid, strike funds, housing security, and other precarity reducing actions.


The "pool of money" idea itself has got to go. Government spending and revenues operate much more like sources and sinks than a purse.

Spending injects money into the economy and revenues extract it. The two roughly balance each other but only because overspending/undertaxing increases the money supply in negative ways and under pending/overtaxing decreased the money supply in other negative ways. Besides these, interest rates are the third lever of the economic engine.

The constraint is inflation rather than solvency for states who have monetary sovereignty.

I get the appeal and the logical, rational appeal of the purse model, but it leads to a warped idea of how the government and economy interact.


That's exactly why the Millennium Prize Problem Bench[1] was created.

That's amazing :D

Billionaire wealth created by interstate commerce is taxable where it is economically generated, not where its owner sleeps.

The Commerce Clause covers exactly these scenarios.


This doesn't apply here, a wealth tax is levied against assets not income.

What are you taking about? Of course it does.

I wouldn't take legal advice from the executive branch.

I think you can only be sure the president will protect himself.

Some of his past allies have been put in some bad positions and it doesn’t seem Trump cares.


TV-free here for about 6 years. I'd recommend it. It takes some getting used to, but after acclimating, the presence of TVs has become annoying. I'm not sure why I'd want to lose myself for an hour or two to it when there's more fulfilling things in the world.

I can see where you're coming from with your "more fulfilling things" statement, but I disagree. After all, TV's don't spew noise they spew stories. I'm not gonna argue that all TV is fulfilling, but engaging with stories is one of the the things which separates us from animals and to me is one of the more fulfilling things in life.

> After all, TV's don't spew noise they spew stories.

Not really, TV in my experience it's all propaganda/stuff to keep you engaged and mad plus ads mixed in with some small content.

You're better off without broadcast TV... reading books, watching movies, socializing etc.


Great question. It prompted me to search for and find a history of sensitivity in mammography[1].

Their conclusion is that 39% is supported by evidence. Furthermore, there is a persistent erroneous belief that mammographic sensitivity is 90-95%.

Then target it with metrics worth solving[1].

But that seems to be measuring "superintelligence" rather than just AI, no?

useless benchmark if all it shows will be fail right; At least it's a very lagging benchmark

It's common for benchmarks to start at zero and eventually become saturated. The atari games benchmark started as such and is now a solved problem.
