It's even more worrying when you look at the contents of these "books", they are riddled with erros:

You most definitely can convey meaningful messages in a limited amount of time, and that's exactly the point, enforcing conciseness you end up with higher information density.
Decentralization provides the additional value of resistance to censorship and algorithmic biases.
How did you market this? Do you have a website for it?
It says here ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370980395_A_NEURAL_... ) that each layer can be represented as a matrix multiplication (equation 3): Ax = s
So concatenating multiple layers could just be reduced to a single matrix multiplication?
If there is no non-linearity I don't see how this could replace neural networks, or am I missing something?
Since the US Debt to GDP ratio is so high now, rate hikes are creating a higher deficit spending from the government into the economy (bondholders) which can be more than enough to counteract the contractive effect of rate hikes.
In forward raytracing, images are rendered by "shooting" photons from all lightsources and seeing which ones end up hitting the player's camera. This is similar to what we think happens in nature, but the calculation is extremely inefficient, because the vast majority of photons never hit the player's viewpoint.
In backward raytracing, we only shoot "photons" backwards from the player's camera, and see which rays end up hitting a light source. This computation is much more efficient.
It makes me wonder if our "simulation" uses a similar shortcut
So if there is a difference in the incidence of myocarditis, it must be for a different reason.
I had a similar idea as a kid, I was pissed at all the bloat consuming my cpu and ram on windows so I wanted to build my own os that would run a single app taking advantage of 100% of the hardware. I learned some assembly and managed to create a bootable floppy disk, then quickly gave up, realizing how much work a functioning os would take...
I'm still happy they exist and are succeeding, but i feel that real investigative jouranlism is dying in Italy. With the fall of newspaper sales most outlets are just incentivized to publish low quality clickbait, or government propaganda if they live off of government grants.
In fact it's being used in several projects where people send each other micropayments of just a couple cents, like twetch.app
For many people marriage is a prerequisite to immigrate to the us or bring their family over, and people risk deportation if they divorce. So saying that immigrant families are more stable can be akin to saying that H1B workers are more loyal to their company.

Aren't they known to operate at a loss to undercut the competition, and couldn't taxi drivers bring them to court for that?
In reality, when you look at how government debt is actually computed, you will find that government debt is the sum of all the coins and banknotes in circulation, all bank deposits at the central bank, and all treasuries. Basically it's the sum of all the savings denominated in that government's currency. It is purely an accounting illusion, governments could also create money out of nowhere without accounting for it as "debt", but that is the accounting standard we are currently using, mostly an heritage from the gold standard times. I'm not sure what the article accounted for exactly, but if they just did a sum of government debt divided by human population, what the article really means is that there are in circulation about 86k dollars for every human, so the average human has a monetary wealth of 86k (with the median being of course much much lower). We should cheer on that number increasing ,the only bad case is if inflation is higher, so that means in real terms we are on average getting poorer even if we have more dollars per capita.
Anyone denying the effect of banks is missing an important point. I suggest looking at positivemoney's articles or videos on youtube for an explanation of this process, it's pretty clear.
I know two spanish people with a BA, one went au-pairing in france, another one couldn't find a job and moved to morocco cause it was cheaper.
So while it may be exagerated, there's probably some truth to that statement. The euro has destroyed the mediterrean economies.
The movement was entirely born on the web, and refused to appear on traditional media like television and newspapers, as they believe traditional media to be undemocratic and corrupted. The focus of the movement is participatory democracy, so they coded an online platform where citizens can propose laws, discuss, and vote on them. These proposals are then brought to the parliament by the elected members of the movement. These are not career politicians, they are common citizens elected on the online platform based on their CV's. It's probably one of the first big experiments in direct democracy.
So, to answer your question, they "believe in" what the majority of citizens believe in. The only constant is they believe in the democratic power of the web.
I think it can be called anti-establishment as it was born from strong negative feelings against the current establishment, and it refuses alliances with any existing political party. It gathers people across the political spectrum, who are unhappy with the status-quo. It's a very interesting experiment, testament to the disruptive power of the web, as the managed to get ~30% with no presence on traditional media and no campaign financing.
