Apocalyptic movie script: airborne virus originating from China scares off neighboring countries so they collectively nuke China. But the virus keeps spreading, so everyone keeps nuking eachother. Cue in Mad Max.

"The price-to-sales ratio (Price/Sales or P/S) is calculated by taking a company's market capitalization (the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the share price) and divide it by the company's total sales or revenue over the past 12 months. The lower the P/S ratio, the more attractive the investment."

Supporting Bernie this time around wasnt a big jump really.. This man took nearly half the votes last time. We know he can do it.

And beating Trump? I am sorry to say but noone except Bernie has much of a chance. It will be hard enough already wout a viable candidate. With one, Dems might, just make it through.

I am now pretty sure now 9/11 was the work of US "allies".

They did not want US leave ME. US was abt to do its pivot to Asia then. Also Pentagon missing money issue became a thing, an audit was coming, in fact this was the last thing Rummy said publicly before 9/11 (on 9/10, the day before).

If allies can trigger a whole new insurgency in the form ISIS, couldnt they knock down a few buildings? Not necessarily the known leaders of allies, but possibly a combo of their deep states.

Democrats self-destructing my ass. Reps went through a much "destructive" process, and they are still here.

I guess the expectation of Dems is to always be ultra-capitalist, and to be centrist. They should not be "radical". Then, of course, they should not have internal arguments, they should have similar looking candidates. They need to remain the way they are, irrelevant, useless, and inert.

The relationship between the diversity of products produced by a country and its GDP is shown below (math and code). Hidalgo (a statistical physicst) also theorized that product diversity is related to the "know-how network" of that country, and such networks can only form in close proximity. All of that contribute positively to growth.

I like it the article mentions two of three waves. While reading I was thinking "but would these args apply to a diff wave" then I saw the paragraph below.

Article says there is a confluence of tech and people, open to abuse, exploitation in whichever direction the tech pulls. Possible.

BBC -- "Are the lessons of agrarian empires applicable to our post-18th Century period of industrial capitalism? (Read about the greatest long term threats facing humanity.)

I would argue that they are. Societies of the past and present are just complex systems composed of people and technology. The theory of “normal accidents” suggests that complex technological systems regularly give way to failure. So collapse may be a normal phenomenon for civilisations, regardless of their size and stage"

Fact 1: EU wants to be carbon neutral by 2050. Decided.

Fact 2: Companies are aligning themselves for that goal. Daimler, I repeat DAIMLER announced last year they don't want to be selling ICE vehicles anymore in 20 years. By then they will only be selling vehicles running on "alternative means" of which H2 will be one.

So when the stock market has a blockbuster year - such as the nearly 30% rise in the S&P 500 benchmark index in 2019 - the payoff primarily goes to people who are already rich"

It's like in that Seinfeld episode The Wizard. Throughout the whole episode Elaine thinks her new boyfriend is part black, it turns out he is not. And the boyfriend was thinking she was Hispanic because her last name is Benes, but she is not. They conclude "so we’re just a couple of white people?", Elaine makes that face, both disappointed. The part ends. That is these people's delusion in a nutshell.

Faux subcultures help to "deal" with the outside world, which is getting crazier by the day. They help to make the world smaller. Through these categories, instead of being just another American, person could become, say, "Irish" and others feel like they know them.

This is f-ing non-sense.

Financial Times: "Shares in some producers of hydrogen and manufacturers of fuel cells have soared to their highest levels in a decade, reflecting hopes that the colourless gas can replace fossil fuels in everything from trucks to homes.

Shares in London-listed ITM Power, which makes electrolysers to produce hydrogen, are up by more than 45 per cent this year to their highest level since 2007. Meanwhile, shares in Sweden’s Powercell have risen 28 per cent over the same period and 342 per cent over the past 12 months...

Yes there is such a thing as low-information voter. I have to add though, almost all voters are low-information voters. Econ recently started talking abt a similar concept, i.e. individual actors lacking information, so cannot make rational decisions, there are now behavioural economists so forth. Austrians too have a few things to say on this issue (so they have their moments when they are not busy shoving a goldbar up their ass). People don't know shit so cannot act rationally in econ. Why do some ppl assume otherwise in politics? It is a single, simple decision is based on very rough perceptions, their own pocketbook, few other traits, in the aggregate works better than the alternatives. That's it.

There is something weird with this couscous..

Most features attributed to subcultures, say, in the positive, is placebo. Keep saying "my people" are [certain way], u can start acting that way, bcz u'd be pushing self as such. It has been proven in the negative. When kids were reminded of their historically disadvantaged minority status during tests their scores went down.

Ozdemir name sounds TR, and his family is from TR. But he is German - in fact stressed this point in his bio. His book was one of the many data points I used to reach the culture / identity conclusion - how where u r born matters and how most US subcultures are artificial, fake and completely false.

Germany has been on H2 biz for a while - all their parties like the idea, especially the Greens. Here is Cem Ozdemir on Linde's H2 bike back in '16.
