That's exactly what I am talking about!
Regarding the rising price for consecutive posts--would you want to prevent or disincentivize somebody from prescheduling a bunch of posts 11 minutes apart?
It comes does to, would you want to apply that increasing cost to the difference between submission times and and publication times?
Sorry to complicate your learning journey about bounties, something I know nothing about, but I have a question about this--Is the reward going to the top 10 logo ideas or is it going to the user that posts 10 diverse ideas? Also, when is the deadline?
Fascinating idea! Do you think this more public model could run in parallel with the existing private territory model?
Interesting! I can buy that. I also can't help but think that we are still equipped with a dose of fear, paranoia, and general otherness when it comes to dogs. Maybe an aspect of our evolution was in suppressing those feelings, not necessarily eliminating them.
Moving your slight aside a bit further to the side, do you think those people who love snakes also have a mental disorder considering how they are a natural enemy of in our primate ancestry?
This is a real Thanos snap of a question. I do love dogs, but the imagery of a preference-based rapture is also very intriguing.
I'm voting for a world without dogs because I believe we all are made in imago Dei, even though many work hard not to be.
Ah, so he in particular is an enemy of the truth in service of whatever cause he's attached to. Can the same be said of the academics holding the position that inflation is rising prices?
Inflation is an act of embezzlement. Historically, inflation originated when a country’s ruler, such as a king, would force his citizens to give him all their gold coins under the pretext that a new gold coin was to replace the old one. In the process, the king would falsify the content of the gold coins by mixing them with some other metal and return diluted gold coins to the citizens.
Murray Rothbard wrote, “More characteristically, the mint melted and recoined all the coins of the realm, giving the subjects back the same number of ‘pounds’ or ‘marks,’ but of a lighter weight. The leftover ounces of gold or silver were pocketed by the King and used to pay his expenses.”
Because of the dilution of the gold coins, the ruler could now mint a greater number of coins and pocket for his own use those extra coins. What was now passing as a pure gold coin was in fact a diluted gold coin. As a result of the increase in the number of coins that masquerade as pure gold coins, prices in terms of coins now go up (more coins are being exchanged for a given amount of goods).
Fascinating history here that I had no idea about! It provides a clear picture of what inflation is and links it to the imagery of dilution that I have always associated with inflation.
I am curious: Krugman and governments often believe an increase in prices is the cause of inflation, rather than the symptom. If the evidence points to monetary expansion as the cause, what evidence they see or claim that allows their short-sidedness to persist?

i have listened to this song so many times in the last month
What a coincidence that I should post it here! I am definitely going to be checking those other ones out.
