It is beyond me how this snail pace of changing the economy to be more sustainable can be interpreted as break neck speed. What was break neck speed was maybe the corona response, which was a good thing and could be happening on climate front more…

Besides this being an extremely utilitarian way to view of humans that obfuscates inherent value of human beings, it is a general problem with wage labour under capitalism, where only capital earns proportional to its “value”.

I think we should focus our energy more on the question how we can provide everyone according to their needs than how utilizable they are, if we want to live in a more healthy and thriving society than we currently do! At the end there is really no need to give some people 10 times more just because they are productive in a certain way. And this calculation already fails as soon as we add more dimension to it, e.g. someone might not be producing 10 times more productive code but maybe they do offer a lot of social skills that make everyone in the team have a better time during work hours.

This exists on linux (PopOS). I think it’s called compose key under GNOME settings.

So that they will turn into a mega company with nothing but PR, capital and marketing? I think the fact that they are so focused on medicine and science should rather be the norm in medicine.

The fact that Pfizer can spin this story on their name is disturbing and dangeruous behaviour that should not be the norm.

I worked at retail (Uniqlo to be specific) and it was definetely a rule to not do this. They wanted us to scan everything one by one even if they were the same color and size. This allowed for a pretty accurate information on stock, e.g. we could see how many of a given sweater in given size and color is still in storage etc.

Probably this is too tedius for some retail (groceries with very small unit price) but very smart rule in general.

the parent was probably talking about NumPy/SciPy/Tensorflow/PyTorch, which I would also label as flagship libraries...

Society can change such laws only when there is an open discussion that is exactly doing that, not-respecting the laws and rights in contracts.

Yeah, lets not have them have the same luxuries as us so that they do not repeat our mistakes. \s

Well you can’t assume a fair playing field between USA and any other country, let alone a developing one. They needed protectionist measures to be able to industrialize as well as they did.
