I read an article that China, while yes they are the outspending US in fusion research, also have exponentially more PhD’s working on the research as well.
But it’s also hard to know what contemporary economists are arguing without reading those foundational writers
I’ll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:
I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court’s decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive’s Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.
One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a “Donate Now” button does not indicate “commercial use” for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)
There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it’s implications.
Or giant megacorporations each hire 200,000+ of them to create products for the non-magic folk to consume.
After a few decades, the idea of being a wizard is synonymous with working 8+ hours a day on magic that no wizard really wants and there is so little new spells and magic being created in the world that everyone wishes there wasn’t any.

Nationalize it ftw
Why is the US concerned? Oil companies pleaded for the US to intervene when Venezuela nationalized their economy. Then Venezuela nationalized many other sectors, and the US got morw angry.
Not just China, much of the world’s fishing industry is held up by slave labor.
I just had to wrestle with this issue for the last few days.
Good news is my joker mask is arriving on Friday!
U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told the Security Council that the veto “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only come from direct negotiations between the parties.”
Fuck you Robert Wood!
There was an academic paper put out a long time ago that basically argued for essential services like food, water, etc to be given non-profit status so corpo’s couldn’t do this sort of thing.
If communism was so good, why didn’t they win the Cold War 🤐🤐
/s lol
Every one of those people you just named are foundational economists of Neoliberalism. A system we tried and is part of the reason the world is so shit.
Enough with the old ideas already.
Isn’t AV1 exclusively for video recoding? I haven’t heard of it being used for photos.
I have an anime profile pic because it makes me better at video games
Have you checked out Protondb.com ?
It’s been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it’s usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don’t run.
