The economist's fundamental assumptions are wrong. The free market rational actor model is wholly incompatible with the ability of a finance or marketing industry to exist because marketing could never inform or convince anyone of anything and contracts can provide anything financialisation does without giving 10% of your income to someone who did nkthing. Given that both exist and together dominate the industry of the wealthiest countries, we know that none of it is real, and that the people pushing it also know this.
Psychology and physics are founded in empiricism, not post-hoc rationalisations of what the powerful wanted to do anyway.
"If reality was the thing we made up, the thing we made up would be science" isn't a great defense. Neoclassical economics is not science, it's barely even a semi-coherent fairy tale.
Worse than that. It's more along the lines of asserting that they are happy with the financial arrangement and "jokes" as per the status quo, and that they stand by him and his decision to advertise their product for money on the "apoplogy" video. They're making fun of the ones raising the issues, not linus. Even further they're trying to milk to controversy for attention.
Do any of you "we can't provide affordable housing, stop pushing opioids on people, have a social safety net, or permit people to build multi-family dwellings because we found a homeless person who didn't want to be institutionalised and abused" types even remotely comprehend how stupid and evil you sound? Like it wouldn't even be believable as a villain introduction in a comic book.
Those are both bad schoolbook abstractions. And that article is about how the full mathematical treatment (which is known) doesn't fit a neat pat thought-terminating-cliche explanation. Plenty of people develop an intuitive understanding so it's not rote symbolic formalism.
Air goes down. Plane goes up. The exact details of air goes down are complex and nuanced, but not at all unknown.
What are you even trying to say? That CFD doesn't even exist? Just because a bad abstraction taught in schools isn't really tethered to reality, doesn't mean large laminar uncompressible fluid dynamics is unfathomable.
Her response was unable to do nearly as much damage as the article. The stakes were much lower for the vice editor and her platform had much lower reach.
All of those are espionage channels for unaccountable, non-democratic organisations with a history of interfering with democracies and funding coups. All should be considered equally malicious.
When the word is used in an academic or legal context, that's what it means. It's not a "belief", it's the definition.
"Believing" that bigotry without systemic power is racism is just playing idiotic semantic games. You know what they mean and yet you're trying to communicate badly on purpose to "win".
It's just an imbecilic fascist word game, and you're either complicit or you fell for it.
If you can walk or use a low speed vehicle to get to your destination and you can walk to the second family down in 5 minutes it's not a low density settlement just because you can see a single story house.
Villages are missing middle (at least until the commercial center gets gutted and replaced with car yards and parking and 50% of the houses are demolished for highway).
These are the walkable non-suburban communities being talked about. Why are you trying to use examples of the desired outcome as a counter example (and reason to continue destroying said towns)?
If you take both the population and area of greater houston without the urban core, there is one hectare of suburban wasteland per person.
One person per hectare isn't the rural settlement in your imagined past, it's a single family and a few farm hands living on an unusually large and high-labor productivity farm way out of town.
No. Humans have lived in walkable villages and towns built at missing middle densities (hundreds to a few thousand people and markets all within walking distance linked by long distance travel corridors you walked to or what you are calling 'urban') with local services and a handful of people living on the outskirts.
Endless suburban seas of <500 people per km^2 were invented for the automobile. The past you are counterfactually claiming exists did not have half an acre of roads, car parks, 4-car garages, set backs and car yards per resident, nor did it have all the services in a central gigantic box building 20 miles away through a sea of identical houses, nor did your rural people demand those in higher density regions provode them with infrastructure for heating, cooling, water and sewerage. Nor did they demolish all the houses around the market just in case they wanted to leave a cart there.
Efficiency, battery price for the cost, power, and charge time/long distance speed are measurably objectively in the top tier (although not uniquely so or not the singular best).
Not worth it for the shoddy construction, abusive customer-exploitative remote control that means you never own it, false advertising, and cultural association (also not uniquely so).
If weather prediction were based on the idea that eddies were produced by gnomes with wooden spoons, you'd have an argument.
