Thanks but I'm aware of it, linked to an alternative just yesterday (but might replace by the InternetArchive one instead). A Web version would be so neat as we'd be able to link to pages, even states of the interactive explanation, rather than the whole thing but it's already great to have that basis.

Perhaps it's a consequence?

Could be, some social psychologists believe extreme wealth has a tendency to change human psychology for the worse, see for example https://www.ted.com/talks/paul_piff_does_money_make_you_mean


Same for me, but I stopped counting my McDonald's visits after 25...


I think it's possible to be a fast learner and not have ADHD.


I guess if I am one of the landlords, or if rents are very reasonable and competitive I prefer the former. However, if it becomes the case that I am having all of my productivity extracted by rent seekers and I no longer have agency over my own life then the benefits of stability get downgraded and I'm much more willing to roll the dice.


This could be great if the rest of the chassis was filled with batteries.

Huh, I've always been suspicious of folks claiming the opposite.

For the downvoters, have you ever tried to explicitly map your externalities?


What does mapping your externalities have to do with honesty? Is this a poor attempt to suggest that no one can actually be honest because no one has a full understanding of the entire universe? Because that's just a lazy excuse for not trying to be honest and not really worth being in the debate.


Having externalities does not mean you are dishonest. Hell, you can even ignore your externalities and still be honest. You can even outright steal from people and still be honest.


If you try to time the market and you sell at the exact peak you still have to time the market again and buy back at the correct bottom. If you miss either of these you're likely leaving long term performance on the table.


In Linux changing the MAC address can be done simply on the command line, so I'd probably just write this functionality into a bash script that I'd call before ifup.
