  • Daily dose of atrocity propaganda: IOF soldier reported executed via air embolism (someone took a syringe and injected her with air)

    Jump

  • Depends where it is, but generally no. They'd need to inject like a large syringe full of air to have a good chance of killing her. Even if they wanted to kill her, there are easier and more plausibly deniable ways to do it (like 'accidentally' giving multiple doses of an actual medicine).

  • Pardon my impudence, but is this not a variant of the sudo rm -rf technique developed by the infamous h4X0r known as Four Chan to pwn n00bs on the interwebs of yore?

    And now, with the power of AI trained on reddit, everyone gets to experience it firsthand!

    Ah, the classics! Truly, they bring a tear to mine ancient eyes ...

  • Africa's forests have switched from absorbing to emitting carbon, new study finds

  • Gains in savanna regions due to shrub growth have not been enough to offset the losses.

    This is concerning. One big hope was that global warming would help grasslands and savannahs expand into the desert and absorb some carbon dioxide. Looks like that's happening, but we're somehow cutting so much forest it nullifies any gains.

  • The current (northern) line to Europe is China - Mongolia - Russia - Belarus - Poland. A line to Africa would need to go through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Jordan and Egypt, and that's excluding Israel. (A line through the Gulf of Aden would be ... Saudi Arabia - Yemen - Djbouti.) You just need one country having a colour revolution to shut the whole thing down.

  • AMD & NVIDIA Reportedly Consider GPU Cuts, ASUS and Others Slow Motherboard Plans Amid Memory Shortage

    Jump

  • Consumer-grade electronics are a sector in which, if you are the leading company - as a state-owned enterprise would be - open-sourcing your designs is not only harmless, but beneficial. The production lines take huge amounts of time and money to set up, and by the time your competitor learns your design and sets up their factory, you've moved on to a newer and better design. Meanwhile you get an army of nerds writing free drivers for your hardware, and maybe even pointing out any design flaws you missed.

    Jump

  • A rail line from China to Africa would have to go through so many countries that maintaining it would be a diplomatic nightmare.

    Also the Gulf of Aden is only 26 km wide and 300m deep at the western end, so a tunnel there isn't out of the question.

  • AMD & NVIDIA Reportedly Consider GPU Cuts, ASUS and Others Slow Motherboard Plans Amid Memory Shortage

    Jump

  • True, but again, open-sourcing the designs is more likely from a stste-owned enterprise than a private one.

  • Dismantling the cartel will reduce each company's R&D budget and slow down progress.

    The tech sector, with its high R&D requirements and extreme vertical integration, is a good example of why the socialist solution to monopoly (bring it under state control and run it in the public interest) is superior to the social democratic one (break it up into multiple smaller private companies).

  • The U17 world cups (both boys' and girls') will be held every year, since there's going to be some difference in physical condition between a 16 year old and a 13 yo. The boys' cup is ongoing, and North Korea, Ireland, Venezuela, Senegal, Brazil, South Africa, Burkina Faso and Mali have made it / probably will make it out of the group stage.

  • Are MMO economies basically MMT ?

    Jump

  • I think we're disagreeing on definition. When you say an economy follows MMT, you mean that the people in charge explicitly follow MMT as a strategy. I meant that the majority of economies follow the basic predictions of MMT in practice, even if the central bank doesn't call it that.

    Taxation does not remove money from circulation in most of the world.

    Again, increasing taxes to reduce money supply can happen under Keynesianism, not necessarily MMT.

    My basic issue with MMT is that while it is a nice theory, it ends up making most of the same predictions and recommendations as Keynesianism, so why go to all the trouble?

  • Are MMO economies basically MMT ?

    Jump

  • The foundation of MMT is that you inject whatever amount you want into circulation via government spending and then remove (destroy) whatever amount you want via taxation.

    This is the basis of Keynesianism, and yes, Keynesianism is the 'foundation' of MMT. But both Keynesianism and MMT also include more specific advice on what governments should do during an economic boom or crisis.

    So yes, video game economies follow the basics of Keynesianism / MMT. But guess what, the vast majority of countries also follow these basics in practice, even if they aren't full on Keynesian / MMT. The big difference is that video game economies shouldn't have boom-bust cycles, so they don't need to fully follow MMT.
