  • Are MMO economies basically MMT ?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't go that far. Video game 'economies' have some sort of regulation, as you described, but so do all real-world economies. Even the most capitalist countries have some form of state control over the economy, except it is often done to help the capitalists and / or for imperialist reasons. MMT is a specific type of Keynesianism designed to deal with boom-bust cycles, which video game economies usually don't have.

  • NASA Staff Horrified at Plan to Throw Out Incredibly Specialized Science Equipment Like Garbage

    Jump

  • I know this is a joke, but NASA does incredibly important work running weather satellites and remote sensing stuff. They also maintain archives (with free public access) of the data collected by these satellites, going back decades.

  • an education in all the pop culture and historical references and cultural associations for symbols that are likely to be pieces should not be a requirement for someone to walk away having understood your point.

    All works reference older works. They do this because they can't start from '1 + 1 = 2', and there is no point in reinventing the wheel when you can do something new with it.

    Acting like indirectness and hiding everything beneath a vapid surface layer is the defining feature that separates prestigious "art" from slop is literally a CIA psyop playing off elitism.

    Oh, I didn't know that Shakespeare was being a CIA plant when he rmade references to Greek and Roman mythology. Or Euripedes when he parodied even older Greek writers.

    Gatekeeping meaning behind specific forms of elite education respects no one

    Right, so make that 'elite education' available to all so it's no longer 'elite'.

  • Saudi's The Line futuristic city project is now dead.

  • It was initially designed as a linear city. It wasn't as dumb as the Line, but still a weird idea.

  • Art having layers is good. Artists should respect themselves and the intelligence of the public, and not dumb down their message. The problem is that the public do not have access to a rich education that would enable them to appreciate good art.

  • I think the difference here is that for China it is mostly a matter of political will, whereas for India there's also the challenge of somehow finding the required money and resources. So this is a step forward in the sense that it is showing that even a developing country can reduce poverty.

  • Sorry, this doesn't make any sense. Why couldn't they take the photo weeks in advance and release it now? If your marks are dumb enough to think that a single flag in a lost city means anything, they're also dumb enough not to ask for timestamps.

  • The intro ML reading list I made at the beginning of the year hit 300 upvotes!

  • Amazing list. Just a few suggestions:

    1. Those who are 'just curious' may be intimidated by the length of the list. Do you want to make an abridged version with only the works you see as most important?
    2. Maybe move Principles of Communism up. It is short, explains the basics, and is in a Q&A format that won't bore readers. Also Q17 answers the common 'why does China / Vietnam have private companies' question. (Although I admit that Einstein brings a sort of credibility or respectability to the argument, lol.)
    3. For readers from a STEM background, you can suggest JBS Haldane's Why I am a Materialist. Short essay, goes from basic scientific principles to arguing for a materialistic outlook.
