I think that unyttigfjelltol was saying that taxing the value of improvements is goofy, not LVT. The comment was in favor of LVT.

I've published a couple of papers in decent pure math journals with no affiliation at all. It didn't cause any issues.

I got the impression, both from this article and the original (here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/11/eabd9138 ) that the electricity wasn't generated by the fungus, but instead the increased

What do you think about all these people with long covid then? I've seen studies suggesting that it's pretty common, as well as anectodal observations, although I don't have any links handy off the top of my head.

Furthermore, it doesn't involve complex conjugation, and (closely related) it doesn't have any property akin to positive-definiteness.

Ok, I think you are just playing word games here, using one very broad interpretation of the word eugenics when you say that gene editing is eugenics, and then a narrower interpretation of the word when you say that there are strong ethical

Could you please clarify what you are referring to by "non-binding eugenics guideline" and whom you are quoting? Also, could you explain directly why gene editing is unethical without making a vague analogy to eugenics? If the ana

I think there is an essential difference between "you have to do X because it is mandated" and "you practically have to do X in order to keep up". For one, the latter scenario is essentially more democratic than the fo

Even if it could be used to create genetic super heroes, there's nothing inherently compulsory about it, in contrast to eugenics.

I'm rusty with this stuff but I'm pretty sure your guess is correct, a countable model is one with countably many objects. For other readers who might not be familiar, I'll mention that Skolem's paradox is about how ther

There isn't necessarily a contradiction there, e.g. you could just see a single ball at any given moment but feel like it was a different ball than the one you saw a few seconds ago. Ditto for the sounds. So you aren't literally

Fair enough. I had a much more verbose comment earlier and it took me a second attempt to get it more concise while still conveying the essential point. The Blaise Pascal quote comes to mind, "I would have written a shorter letter, but

This is correct, but it doesn't address a fundamental misunderstanding of the parent comment. The prediction that wages = MPL alone does not predict a lack of profit, since the marginal product of labour is generally less than the aver

"the value of what they produce, there would be no profit, no payoff for investors / owners" It depends if "the value of what they produce" means marginal output or average output. Due to the law of diminishing retu

I'm sure the theory falls short of describing reality in all sorts of ways but it does not imply there is no profit, that is a misunderstanding that astonishingly few people are pointing out given the amount of discussion it has genera

If we wanted to go into more detail, we could consider production as a function of the cost of labour and the rental cost of capital, rather than restricting our attention to labour and assuming capital is fixed. In this case, the law of di

Each employee is payed the marginal product of labour, but the output per employee is the average product of labour. Due to the law of diminishing returns, the average product of labour is typically greater than the marginal product of la

> If one of those base level things break, everyone who depend on it, will come together and replace/fix it instantly. I don't see how this is causally related to that dependency being thanklessly maintained by a single person.

I think the downvotes are due to people interpreting the comment as a defense of github's behaviour in this situation rather than an attack on their POS TOS.

Sure, but I think this at least demonstrates that unschooling deserves to be within the window of discourse. I've seen many people express the opinion that unschooling is inherently completely insane.

The other typical retort is this: in the real world, you often have to do boring and unpleasant tasks, and unschooled children are therefore unprepared for the real world, since they spent all their time doing whatever they want. The people

I don't see why your last paragraph should even slightly change how one feels about the "peer reviewing is free labour" issue. As you've described it, they are reviewing because they are indebted to other reviewers , no

They aren't mutually exclusive approaches, e.g. the standardized test could be used just to get past the initial resume filter.

The fact that every infinite sequence of points in a compact metric space has a cluster point is sort of like the pigeonhole principle. The grandparent comment in my opinion makes much more sense if the phrase "a compactness for metric
