So. To reiterate, the employee in Arkansas is paid a wage of 30$ per hour, and
the state in which the corporation is based (say, Oklahoma) is paid 30$ for
each hour that employee works. However, these dollars are specific to the
region, and cannot leave it - Oklahoma and Arkansas *must* reach an equitable
arrangement where their dollars equal out. Balance is desired, as it brings
stability and provides a foundation for future growth. If one side prospers,
so does the other. Why should the Oklahoman have less than the Arkansan?

what if operations were required to be funded ONLY from revenue and projects
were required to be funded ONLY from investment, communal, governmental,
personal, corporate, or otherwise?
and hey throw in the idea that profit MUST be utilized to improve the
operation of the business somehow, because the wage of the employees IS the
profit
including the wage of the shareholders, who are employees that contribute
their insight and collective will. (two tasks which frankly are much better
suited to the employees doing the work, I might add)
meaning if you want to be a capitalist you can't hide from taxes anymore by
earning money from a company without being paid

There *absolutely is* a standard for normality. Humans have existed for *so
long* and our conditions have stayed fairly consistent. We had good lives and
most of us knew nothing but peace. Our modern era of the past 400 years or so
is strange. Life changes between generations, and now it changes year by year.
Soon there will be no consistency at all, and that is exciting and
interesting. Not always in a good way. We'll see how it goes.

I think every law or policy should be required to be labelled as "short term"
or "long term"
the short term ones are meant to gather information, to try things out, and to
reassess after stated conditions have been met. Ideally with protections
against "infinite loops" - a term that any programmer will know.
The long term legislation is something that can be relied on for quite a
while. If there is enough momentum, then an alternative can be created, but
the original must remain operational. The alternative must be "short term",
and if it's deemed successful and does not harm the long-term it's
contrasting, then sure yeah go ahead implement both.

Similarly, if someone wants to "perform" a piece of digital media, via a
"let's play" or perhaps a ROM hack or public screening, the copyright holder
cannot be allowed to prevent them from doing so. They must only be able to
demand a reasonable and non-exclusive fee in return for the privilege of
performance.
These performances are considered derivative works, but they are still works
on their own, and therefore should be able to be sold.
The greater the difference between the original and the newly created work,
the less the price must reflect the necessary "tax" levied by the original
owner, until eventually the work is so distinct that it cannot be considered
to be deriving from the original at all.
Consider a mod for a video game that replaces the dragons you typically fight
with giant cartoonish train engines. A silly sight to be sure, but people do
that. What percentage of the game is replaced? what percentage tax of the new
mod's price must be given to the original copyright holder?

If you look at the modern state of machine learning and AI and can only think
of:chatbotssingularity god-mind AI that solves all our problems
then either you haven't worked with the technology or you are not applying
your imagination as you could.
AI is not a smartphone. It is not the internet. It is not the printing press.
AI (as it currently exists) is a special kind of "if" statement that you only
use for very specific, non-performance intensive tasks that require judgement
or reasoning and cannot easily be translated into numbers or booleans. These
situations are rare, but they unlock new possibilities for the programmers,
not their marketers.

it's trivial to run a C compiler inside of a lua interpretation of a script.
And vice versa - you could totally run lua functions from C. Just point to the
spot in memory where they're stored / operating, and call
"update_class_exhibitor_type_d()" and the linker will come along and say "huh
this looks like something from this library that's part of the requirements up
above" (the "includes" section is where you say which files include the
functions you're going to be calling) and in this particular case it would see
that you need to start up a lua interpreter inside of the [either compiler or
running program I can't remember] to properly execute the function of the
function that you're pointing at with a lua-pointer style data object which is
part of a struct that stores all the other lua functions in a spot in memory.
this would enable you to write computer programs in whatever language you
choose, and build them into one large project. Essentially opening up software
development to ANYONE WHO CAN PROGRAM

since the entire building is oriented around a central elevator shaft, you

there should exist either the assurance that the default configuration does
not overheat or crash your computer (as Windows and Mac claim to offer) or the
OS should provide the capability to solve any configuration problems that may
prevent a user for utilizing their system as they desire. (as does Linux)
they're all Turing machines after all, why would they not be interoperable?
Even if there's a translation layer, as long as the functionality of the
software is the same, why would there ever be considerations as to whether or
not a program would be able to be run on a particular computer?
lack of hardware capabilities I can understand, that just means you need a
better computer. But why, if the code is visible, would your computer not
develop understandings about how to run each and every conceivable program
written using known languages like C or Python? Seems like pretty basic stuff
to me. (endless sufficient backwards compatibility)

there are legitimate benefits to their philosophies, and they may be applied
to all kinds of systems, even those that do not utilize currency at all.
however, in modern america, there is another party, a party farther to the
right, a party which is voted into power based on culture, something
unassailable and inalienable and yet always perpetually under threat. or so
they make it seem.
this "farther-to-the-right" party is duplicitous in it's ideals. their persona
is that of businessmen, familymen, and journeymen. they claim to be farmers,
pastors, and step-fathers.
but they are something more, something behind their mask, that those who vote

hey does anyone want to hire me to do literally anything?
I'll work for peanuts, and I'm pretty good at programming in C. I write pretty
well, and I'm excellent at customer service (though my profile would beg to
differ.)
I have experience at large corporations and small ones, and I live in Portland
OR
I do game design, and many other things besides, and I'm friendly and kind. I
promise I won't wear my witch hat to the meeting with investors, unless you
think they'd be into that?
I'm great with animals, better than people in fact, and I'm quite good with
people, as they're just animals at best. I'm not as strange as I seem to be,
at least not when you're dancing with my mask.
I've grown quite bored, you see, and what better thing is there to be? than a
working professional who knows what's best.
I believe in our shared future, so if you'd like to work on a project just let
me know - I work hard. A little too hard, because odds are I'll burn out after
a year or so.
I'm quite sharp, and I learn quickly.

did you know that IF checks can be represented using arithmetic? It's true!
... as long as your input value A is a 0 or 1, of course. If A, then B.
Otherwise, C.A * B + (1 - A) * C
which means that an OR check could perhaps be something similar toA / B - (1 +
A) / C

my mother would knit square wash-cloths with coarse yarn. My memories hold
plenty of colorful patches of knit fabric. they work well as a sponge
replacement because you can throw them in the wash instead of the trash. plus
they're good practice for people learning to knit, or practicing a new
pattern, or switching colors, or whatever interesting thing you're learning.
if I remember correctly, the kind that worked best felt "knotty" with holes in
the middle. I don't know how she made them but a knitter might be able to tell
you.
it's a sponge-replacement, not a brush. so, not what you asked for, but
related.

with these three layers of abstraction, all representing the same whole, it
should be easier to contribute to a democracy.

In this era, there are sentiments that Texas should desire to secede. This is
just used as an example here, for the future may bear such sentiments from any
land for reasons similar or dissimilar. So, say there is a state that wishes
to secede in the way that Texan mythology describes. What would compel them to
stay? What would compel them to stand united for our collective gain? Perhaps
they could be swayed by gifts of gold or bloodshed, or maybe they simply could
be allowed to do as they please. All three of those options are not desirable,
for reasons that should be apparent. So, to ask again, how do you ensure
national unity in the face of the desire for liberty from unity? Liberty
implies a resistance against oppression, a pushback against the enslavement of
another's will thrust upon an unconsenting subject. So, to resolve this issue,
there must be a reduction in oppression. Ideally, elimination. However,
defining oppression is difficult when so much of our interactions are
determined by trade, national interests, and cultural contestation. There is
no easy answer, but by redefining what a nation implies perhaps we can make
the question irrelevant.

Do you remember stores with floor-to-ceiling goods? The kind that didn't go
bad, so you could afford to have lots of inventory. Not like it's being
replaced and thrown out as soon as the executives with their profit margins
decide that its no longer worthwhile.
Here's an idea - how about executives are paid by the employees to manage
their company? And if things aren't going right, they can get a new team.
Like, if every team had control of their manager, I wonder what dynamics would
emerge?

When you're storing pencils (or other fragile long tubes) in a bag or
container of some kind it's often good to store them at a right angle, so that
they can have a higher chance of being safe should a strain or stressor
impacted upon their storage location device. Like... a bag that bends but not
twist would have 50% of the glowsricks intackt.

also "your neighbors" could mean people in your general area. It doesn't have

Networking professionally can also be a decent substitute. Visiting churches

Growing up, I started with 3 video games - Super Mario Deluxe, Dragon Warrior
1&2, and Asteroids. For the gameboy color. Then, a year or two later (what
felt like forever), Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Classics. I was so lucky. Not because it was more expensive than my peers, but
because I had the right games.
Others joined later, Tetris, Mario Kart, Star Fox, etc... But having so few
that were so good for so long made me adore them. I would play for about an
hour a day, any more would cut into my imaginative play-time.
I did not dream of games. But I craved their moments.
These days, I play games for so long that I dream of them. In my most
vulnerable moments I treat them like my baseline state, rather than a
prescribed appointment of delight.
I miss wandering around without thinking of my objective. The games seemed to
change, rather than progress. They felt alive to me. I never beat them,
because I didn't need to.
I'll raise my kids the same way, if I ever having any...

How about this: it's legal to smoke cannabis in "public" spaces but only if
they're hidden from typical passerby. Meaning, out of sight of windows,
walkways, paved paths, designated hiking trails, parking lots, roads, etc.
Places people reasonably might be who might not want to see you or smell you.
Stoners can keep their smoke spots and do it without fear. Everyone's happy!
Plus, landlords get even happier because now there's no reason why people
would smoke in their apartments (except medicinally)! Downside is if there's
no good spots nearby, so maybe we need to mandate overgrown parks with
secluded areas. I mean, we should do that anyway...

if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
then spend time at your favorite spots.
ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
plus, that way you can gauge their character
and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.

ah but you see when "maximizing profit" and "maximizing value" sound like the
same thing to those directing the corporation (as is the case anytime they
have greedy shareholders) then "maximizing profit" doesn't have to be very
efficient at all, as long as it's extracting the most "value" for the
stakeholders (which to greedy shareholders is the same thing as profit)
and honestly, who would invest in a company that isn't eternally growing as
fast as possible? that's just bad business acumen, gotta pump those numbers up!

so... if infinity is the inverse of zero, then when inverted would infinity
also be zero?
if so, it follows that the [spectrum/dimension/cardinality/direction] that the
inversion is occurring upon might also have other steps inbetween. Unless it's
a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent".
I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus
infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be
numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be
1, but I don't believe that would be true.
On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if
you can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's
ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you
cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this
particular ring-like-case)

(like, the kind that memorize the best way to play space invaders or whatever)
and instead of A and B and start and select they could use programming
languages to try and recreate exactly a winning move, which in this case is
just the exact behavior that is created by the test case playthrough of Super
Mario Bros or Space Invaders. Free open source everygame!

Okay, so what if we can't make matter travel through time. Why not project
something else? Like... Willpower, intention, etc through the time medium
instead? Electricity is fundamentally different than matter, so why not try to
send electricity through time? BRB gonna go watch steins;gate

whoa, cool! So with one of these you can flash any ROM you want onto the

cowards run from fights they can't win
the brave die unnecessarily
because they might have won if the cowards didn't flee
and the coward simply would not be if they did not choose to leave
yet the coward is not always wrong
while bravery often is.
the trick is in managing inertia
as water always rolls downhill.

all you have to do is include the current state of the LLMs registers in the
output so that it can use them as a base next time it starts up.
