This whole "it's cheating to subsidize industry!" Thing is hilarious when that's literally just how it works everywhere.
The US subsidizes the meat, grain, and dairy industries then kill the agriculture industries of other countries and make them dependant on the US for food.
They also subsidized Tesla, a policy that was basically directly copied by China but now it's bad.
The only reason the US can't compete is the addiction to spending every penny on the MIC and weapons. Which hilariously, isn't even panning out because they don't have government operatives on the company boards that can prevent them from just pocketing that money.
He discredited it with the Soviets. We don't have any Soviets. They also allied with the mensheviks/social Democrats during the first revolution. We haven't even had a minor rebellion yet, you ally with whoever you need to and just don't allow them to maintain a grip on power after a revolution, something that was accomplished by bringing the Soviets on side.
Of all the possible politicians that would allow guillotines in Central Park, Mamdani is our best bet. Just hope he actually fucks up NYPD and makes it easier to organize in the meantime. He's not an end goal. I don't even think he thinks that.
LOTO is lock out tag out, so it's the same thing lol.
The LO part is because you're supposed to literally lock the machine with a padlock that only you have the key to so no one start it while you're in the danger zone.
Someone cut this guy's $90 American lock off with an angle grinder to run it anyways...
You can also see that there's multiple holes for locks so multiple people can have the machine/area locked out at the same time and you can't start anything until all of them unlock it. So someone was in a hurry and didn't wait for the last guy.
To be fair, it's from Madagascar, so I don't think it was necessarily meant to be racist. Still dumb of the teacher to not maybe think for like 2 seconds about how that version might be a bit problematic in that context.
All large scale sociological systems have to be based on abstraction. The way society functions is honestly not dissimilar to the way computation works.
Not in like an AI nerd/rokkos basilisk way, but in a "we're all transistors in a machine" way. Once you can wrap your head around that the claims that billionaires and CEOs are important quickly fades. They're side effects of the lower level organization of the machine, and you can at any point re-shape the abstract superstructure using the base, and then from there, use that new superstructure to improve the base.
Allin Cottrell is okay though, he kept a lot of Paul's shit takes out of the final edit.
There's also a repo that attempts to implement some of the models in Julia if you want to dispense with reading words and just see the proposed algorithm.
There's also the general lack of non-advertising signage that you don't really see anywhere else
