> There should never be any kind of bailout that does not lead to public ownership, like any investment

Why no credit based bailouts?

Fair point. It was mostly the part about linking the religious beliefs to "quantum" things that triggert that impression. I've removed it, it was unnecessarily mean.

I read the english version twice, and I simply don't see the profoundnes others see.

Obviously they have the same right to weigh in as everyone else, but I don't see anything new here.

edit: removed an unnecessarily mean part.

How is the article going to clarify the opinion of another commenter? The whole section (that I've read) on the random numbers only mentions two trials, and I questioned what the commenter made out of that. (I don't think the random number part matters in the overall complaint of the other points.)

For comparison:

I clicked twice to generate numbers on random.org

The second generated numbers were

    Here are your random numbers:

    13     22

Should I send random.org an inquiry

> why would ~~AI~~ random.org pick two numbers, out of 1 to 25? Should that not be evenly distributed instead? Why is the AI so skewed?

(The first set of numbers were 20 and 12. Unfortunately I didn't get lucky to get 13/22 on the first try.)

> Why is the AI so skewed?

We are talking about 2 trials, right? Or did they do more repetitions?

What would be the "correct" numbers to get from 2 trials that show an even distribution?

From the article:

> One of the first technical considerations of the modern fire escape was carried out by the Franklin Institute in 1881 after the Randolph Street mill fire in Philadelphia trapped 35 people inside. Their conclusion was that external egress paths, in other words, the bolt-on fire escapes had, quote, “comparatively little value.” They recognized the fact that it was the only practical choice in some situations, but that internal stairways, properly constructed, afforded the best means of escape.

I took "The recognized the fact that it was the only practical choice in some situations" as a much less general statement than

> External fire escapes are the best they could do 150 years ago

> We don't really need multiple exits in case of fire because fires are occurring less often and people are getting plenty of warning.

Based on the video, external fire exits were a bad idea from the start and were recommended against 150 years ago, but inertia is hard to overcome.

(unless I Completely misunderstood)

Some of that reads really funny.

Feels more like a software discovery list than an indictment. Thanks for the categorization.

After checking again, now it is available as well. Same as for you, it doesn't show in jules and antigravity.

However, my experience with the gemini, jules and antigravity apps was awful. So it is difficult to pin that on the model.

I wanted it to give me a proper comparisson for VPSes or server options and it took so much babysitting and it couldn't produce reliable pricing information or visulalisations.

> clothing, *shelter*, fuels,

(Emphasis mine)

> Convenient how it never tracks housing cost increases

I think that is included in shelter. I might be wrong.
