  In capitalism, the consumer need only care about two things: the product, and the price. This makes it easy for consumers to compare products and prices, and pick the best “bang for the buck”. Which in turn, incentivizes production efficiency.

  Sometimes externalities are factored in. For example carbon taxes. But these are simply factored into the price, so the consumer can still compare products and prices like before.

  This “commodity fetishism” that Marx complains about, is exactly what makes capitalist economies so effective and efficient.

  it explains it using other formulas. It’s like if the teacher taught you trigonometry using algebra. They expect you to either already know algebra, or to learn it from somewhere else. You could say that the teacher is just restating trigonometric questions in algebraic format, and that might be a fair way to interpret it, but that also might be enough for people who already know algebra

  I don’t think in this case the logic is circular, it just explains how the light cone shows that FTL breaks causality, and assumes that you’ll learn the math behind the light cone somewhere else. Maybe the author assumes the light cone can be better learned from other sources

  Authoritarianism is the more efficient governing model.

  The hard part is picking the right authority. That’s what the other models factor in. But yeah authoritarianism can be more efficient if we pick the perfect authority

  Some people have done such horrible things beyond a shadow of a doubt that even death is too much of a mercy. They should be kept alive and tortured mentally and physically every day until they die of natural disease processes.

  but…why? What good does this serve? It just wastes time and resources on the torture

  I only put “if it’s big” to help readers imagine a large pile and how it would become more inconvenient the larger the pile. Language is not as precise as math or programming. If you’d like you can imagine the sentence as saying something like “imagine a big pile. It’s definitely not O(1)”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I also have one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve probably never actually kept clothes in a pile before. The bigger the pile, the longer it takes to find an individual item

  if it’s big it’s definitely not O(1)

  C to Thunder? aren’t they the same connector? unless you’re talking about lightning

  what is the appeal of this? It’s ok if you’re autistic you can always marry an alien?? wtf?

  there’s something like that in Bazzite! If you go to the menu -> system settings -> language -> keyboard, then physically unplug the keyboard, the keyboard should now be disabled!

  gp comment knows that, they were saying that sometimes such authenticity can be excessive. For example crooked teeth was also much more common back then, but we aren’t rallying for studios to start adding CGI crooked teeth

  We probably just bred them that way. Unmanageable dogs were undesirable and bred out
