Which is wild because a Dyson has a premium price tag.
Surely that’s wrong?
That makes zero sense. You mean “by lowering the profit margin on the goods sold to the US by that specific company”.
Countries don’t pay tarrifs (bar state intervention), companies do.
But yes, it’s probably a mix of the two: raising prices and lowering profit margins.
Almost makes me tear up. 1000 times this.

This is unworkable in practice; nothing will ever be completely safe. Instead, we need a public regulatory body that makes reasonable risk/reward tradeoffs when approving necessary chemicals. However, this system breaks down completely when you allow for lobbying and a revolving door between the public and private sectors.
“conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent.”
Sounds like more than just mentioning suicide. Also it’s per week, which is a pretty short time interval.
People only overeat themselves into obesity once you process those carbs into high fructose corn syrup etc. Seems like a very different problem.

Yes. But it's a disgrace that we're throwing the baby (genuine progress, like the slow acceptance of non-binary people) out with the bathwater.
Not to be pedantic, but you’re off by a factor of 100 :)
Talk about a cliffhanger :)
Using [0] you get 32B for Alice and 40B for Bob.
[0] It has been demonstrated that KC(x), can be reasonably estimated by the number of bits required to encode x using a compressor C (such as gzip)
This bit I agree with, although I would add that salary (i.e. plain cash) alone as the fruit of labour is insufficient and unfair, and amounts to wage slavery.

Those are interlinked, as living in a bunker is not good for your wellbeing.
There’s plenty of universities, cooperatives, and passionate growers who have developed crops and seeds in the past and will surely continue to do so in the future.
The patent system is useful to address very specific market failures in very specialized industries where the above systems fail, not to turn the whole world into a rental unit.
Wait... what is the "deep" link exactly? And how does that follow from comparing numbers at face value?
Unrelated but it reminded me of this [0] article discussed on HN a few times.

Hits home for me. Many of those things are also actually cheaper in the long run.
Capitalism is a power system where capital and not creation dictates ownership. If you define it like this, people are often more inclined to see it as unethical. Which is exactly what the ruling class (aka the owners of capital) doesn’t want.
