Interestingly enough this thought was what made western europe (but various other parts of the world had something similar) transition from the guild system to the centralised factory system, essentially laying the foundation for industrialisation.

Basically merchants realized there was a huge workforce outside the cities, families where wives and children had time left. So they purchased and place the worktools and resources with the individual families to later buy back the products they made and resell it in the markets. This was called the putting-out system if you want to look into it more.

Note-taker here. Actually, I had to really do my best to only focus on writing everything down. When I tried understanding the stuff being taught I got involved in an inner monologue trying to solve my own question and by the time I snap back to reality I missed a chunk of what was being said. Did nobody else have this problem?

Hopefully the EU is wotking on more than 1 issue at a time.

I have absolutely no idea how emulator development is but I always wondered how specific bugs like these are fixed; is it just adding an if statement specific to this game or are these just general bugs that get fixed and could just as well also fix something undiscovered in other games as well?

> If the majority of the population is made redundant and unable to earn any income then what happens to consumer spending? It drops to zero and it takes the likes of Amazon, Walmart, and countless other retailers as well as manufacturers with it. Are they going to just let that happen?

This is a reasoning that starts with the idea there is some sort of global conspiracy of the global elite making agreements on what to do. I strongly believe there isn't, at least not on the level you are describing. There is however the underlying capitalist system that demands profit optimization.

If there would be some sort of new product or company that would make all other aspects of the economy obsolete but it would bring massive profits for the stakeholders it would absolutely be launched.

Companies don't make predictions on what might happen to the economy if they launch x, y or z.

But it isn't. The workers are striking in solidarity and not delivering anything to tesla.

Unfortunately this hasn't been released yet and since that paper it is very quiet around that topic so chances are high it (or something similar) will just not be released.

People gliding over the ground is a huge giveaway as well, when you walk past someone else your feet don't slide to the right while you are still walking straight ahead, your movement changes.

Off topic but it's funny to me how seemingly everyone in this writes "floppy disk" correctly with a "k" but writes "discs" (when still talking about the floppy disks) incorrectly with a "c". Must be a habit when not adding floppy in front!

The major thing holding static "wordpress" or any rather simple site back is definitely forms. I'm wondering what the best solution to this would be? My guess is forms hosted elsewhere loaded in via JS? Anyone have recommendations on what service to use for this?

Fun fact: the whole human population can fit in the state of Texas if it had the same density as NYC. That answers the where. Compressed into tiny apartments? Yes, but maybe we should double everybody apartments and house them in 2 times Texas?

Don't forget to live your life now as well. All fine and dandy to save for 'later', but if you keep going until you burn out you won't be enjoying your later that much. That or if you get run over by a bus tomorrow it was all for nothing.

I have done a job that was 80% dull work. I can guarantee you I have never been more exhausted when I came home from work. Don't ask me how it works, but doing 'nothing' can be extremely tiring. And this was a desk job.
