How the Amazon Algorithm Controls the "Free" Market and Profits Jeff Bezos (Cloud Lord)
//-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew Why do you think that the American and European economies are stagnating? I can tell you. Guilt-pride resulting in Oikophobia.
Yawn.
Because of lack of New Techs. And that one... because of inertia.(and "those who know better" propaganda of "sustainability"... my ass)
Culture... can grow ONLY in civilization. Because only CIVILIZATION can produce... anything and everything. And in that amounts that start to rot, in some places. Which create cultural fumes of civilization. ;-p
Military analysts say the Poseidon nuclear-powered super torpedo Putin said Russia had successfully tested is capable of devastating coastal regions by triggering vast radioactive ocean swells. Both it and Burevestnik cruise missile are nuclear-capable. U.S. Democratic Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts, who co-chairs the congressional Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control Working Group, said he was introducing legislation to prevent Trump from restarting nuclear testing by forbidding funding for it. "A Trumpatomics plan would provoke Russia and China to resume nuclear testing, and China in particular has much more to gain from this than does the United States," he said in a statement. "This is a reckless directive from Trump that will only make the country and the world less safe and lead to a terrible new nuclear arms race." Daryl Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association, said it would take the U.S. at least 36 months to resume contained nuclear tests underground at the former test site in Nevada. "Trump is misinformed and out of touch. The U.S. has no technical, military or political reason to resume nuclear explosive testing," he said, warning that Trump's announcement could "trigger a chain reaction of nuclear testing by U.S. adversaries, and blow apart the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." In August, Trump said he had discussed nuclear arms control with Putin and wanted China to get involved. Beijing responded by saying it was "unreasonable and unrealistic" to ask the country to join in nuclear disarmament negotiations since its arsenal was much smaller.
Yeah... now you have it. Brave New World. Of USA demise as world power. And maybe even more. Yawn.
Sustainability of profits for Cloud Lords and Vassals... 'ef the Serfs!
Why is there no new tech? Why would the masses become entrepreneurial and inventive if the government would allow the Lords and vassals to appropriate the serf's profits via cloud rents in the name of "sustainability"?
The "inertia" of the Cloud Lord and Vassal system.
The guilt-pride is what enables the "sustainability" argument. You planet polluter/ Earth destroyer consumer. Feel guilty? Buy OUR products, with all the harmful carbon removed!
Please. I was working at Martin Marietta (now Lockheed-Martin) in the 80s developing robotic fiber-optic war platforms. TMAP, MRRPVs, Anti-torpedoes, Mine-clearing devices, Underwater RPVs, TOW missiles, etc.
You have knowledge at scale. I had knowledge at the R&D level. But we did plan for "saturation" usage at the time, especially vis defenses.
Capitalism became "Cultural Capitalism". It functions on the basis of guilt-pride. You buy a product... and it includes an "offset" that alleviates your guilt of consuming it. ie - Diet 'Coke'... decaffeinated coffee. All harmful ingredients removes. No more "guilty pleasures" of sneaking a chocolate. The chocolate has no sugar to make you fat and feel guilty about.
//Culture precedes civilization. Much as agriculture preceded industrialization.
Yawn. You still not groked meta-levels. That that is separate but parallel levels. Traditional culture creating Civilization. Civilization bolstering Traditional Cullture. And firm supervising of Evolution.

Seems like your news inputs have filters for POSI-POSI-POSITIVE news ONLY.%-)))
Means your cought into DEMN progressives loop of positive brainwashing. Yawn.
So... news like: that your air forces have operational readiness less then 50%(and that without any war started) and ever shrinking number of planes, while "new sexy" constantly glithing and need costly support efforts OR that(again, without any war even started) your military technics need to "cannibalise" other units (from planes to submarines), because there is NO spare parts available.... and that is while your govt. plays recurring game Shutdown.
Really? We never conduct exercises? Our planes never crash? We never shoot down our own planes and missiles by mistake? Fork lifts don't run over towed arrays stretched out on aircraft carrier decks? We never conduct mock surprise attacks on our own airfields?
In the 80s we had 15 aircraft carriers. 5 were deployed. 5 were in training doing aircraft crew work-ups. And 5 were in the shipyards being overhauled/ repaired.
And we did "logistics" up the ass. Do you know the difference between a MAM and a Spare? I doubt it. An Intermediate Repair facility and a depot? Do you know what an URG is, and why a Navy needs "frigates"?
Don't ask DoW to support your movie unless you show it in a positive light. Remember the movie "The Hunt for Red October" when they fly Jack Ryan out to the USS Dallas on a helicopter? The Navy refused to film the scene unless they changed a fouled and broken helicopter cable into one being deliberately cut... cuz you know, all helicopter crews are competent. The term SNAFU is never revealed on camera.
Culture is anti-fragile. Civilization, fragile. Yes, aggregate efficiencies are AMAZING. But when the Power grid gets bombed one day, all those efficiencies are lost, and no one has his own power generator...
Yes..but redundancies, not degraded performance. Built in INEFFICIENCIES (redundancy). Like the electric grid. Battery storage. Gas turbines when the wind stops blowing. Power outages? Where do you live, Venezuela? Anti-fragile designs, Not fragile ones. Every home with its' own generator...
We had a rule. No 'autonomous' killing. Land mines got outlawed. Sea mines, frowned upon. Dumb iron bombs got precision guidance packages. The "ethics" of war change the deeper into the sh*t you go.
Know why the USN doesn't use fire and forget missiles to shoot down attacking planes and aircraft? So we don't accidently shoot down our own aircraft and missiles. Semi-active vs active missile radar seekers. Fire control radars.
Redundancy is expensive. (NASA Class I mission (human spaceflight) TRIPLE redundancy. Class II, critical redundancy. Class III, selective redundancy, Class IV make it work) Or A.B.C.D. if you prefer.
But what about scenes like when airplane hiting skyscraper... then they say "no-no-no, it will NEVER HAPPEN, cause WE competent"... then 9/11 happens, oh sh*t.%=}}}}
"Culture is, before all things, the unity of artistic style, in every expression of the life of a people." - Nietzsche
“Culture” is the name for all those things we practice without really believing in them, without taking them quite seriously." - Slavoj Zizek
Religion is the mother of culture. –René Girard
Cult-ure Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Culture" Can rules or tutors educate The semigod whom we await? He must be musical, Tremulous, impressional, Alive to gentle influence Of landscape and of sky, And tender to the spirit-touch Of man's or maiden's eye: But, to his native centre fast, Shall into Future fuse the Past, And the world's flowing fates in his own mould recast.
Deleuze on "Culture" Deleuze mocks the formula: "Be yourselves - it being understood that this self must be that of others". - Culture is not a movement of normalization or conformity. - "Culture(...) is an involuntary adventure, the movement of learning which links a Sensibility, a Memory and then a Thought, with all the cruelties and violence necessary, as Nietzsche said, precisely in order to "Train a Nation of Thinkers" or to "Provide a Training for the Mind."
Cross-Cultural Dialogues... The only way to effectively fight “Eurocentrism” is from within, mobilizing Europe’s radical-emancipatory tradition. In short, our solidarity with non-Europeans should be a solidarity of struggles, not a “dialogue of cultures” but a uniting of struggles within each culture. - Zizek, "The Need to traverse the Fantasy"

Know what you need to build a culture? A little village church. It's the antifragile building block that spreads to every village, town, and city. How does Islam work? The Islamic Courts Union (ICU). Little anti-fragile independent churches, burn down 3 and travelling Imams will settle down in those towns and rebuild them. Why did Buddhism nearly go extinct? The Hindus had churches in every village to absorb the Buddhists, the Buddhists only had monasteries in the capitol cities and wandering monks.
//Our defense posture has greater risk aversion built in.
Man. You are on whole separate continent. Which someone can decide to render man-less... without much harm to their own heartland. OF COURSE you need to have "greater risk aversion built in." That's IS that bare naked fact I pointing to my finger... all this years(in regard to this precisely topic)
//They all "speak" according to the rules of the Pauline Inversion. They no longer "boast" of their own accomplishments, but give all credit to G_d(s).
Yap. That's what "those who know better" brainwashed you into believing into. ;-p Yawn.
PS And there is no Superiority Bragging from my side. Lessy style. I can see YOUR cultural brainwashing solely because it is NOT MY culture. ;-p And cannot see mine. Obviously.
//Why did Buddhism nearly go extinct? The Hindus had churches in every village to absorb the Buddhists, the Buddhists only had monasteries in the capitol cities and wandering monks.
They thereby reveal THEIR cultural guilt-pride. Who's team are you on? Team anti-colonialism (jews vs palestinians). Team "whites are bad" (Europe vs immigrants).
And Christians took over the Roman Empire AND the Byzantine (Eastern) Empire. With churches. In villages. Then Emperors converted. And built more churches. And Roman civilization declined while culture changed. No more Panem et circenses.
...and Mao redistributed land to the peasants. He broke Marx's collectivization rules. Just like Deng broke Marx's anti-capitalism rules and forged "The 3 Represents".
Yeah. Even if they're made their cocoo nest... on the top of your head.)))) Well... there is russian idiom -- "only when roasted rooster would beak". Very Fitting.
How do civilizations decline? Oikophobia. The Romans lost faith in the culture and gods that made Rome successful. What do you do in the month of Mars? You March against your Etruscan neighbors, of course! They became multi-cultural. Their immigration became "uncontrolled". And then those hippie Christians started worshipping the Jewish victim of Rome, Jesus. They started worshipping Rome's martyrs....
Christianity gave Rome the Dark Ages. Then the Spanish ReConquista. The Italian Renassance (re-discovery of the Greeks). The Reformation (Catholicism breaking down) The "Enlightenment" (fruit of the Renaissance). The birth of America (a nation w/o a religion, just capitalism (Secularized religion) - "Mind Your Business")
Nope. The fruits of capitalism began to trickle down to the workers. The "aggregate efficiencies" gave the workers a higher life style. The labour became "mechanized" and less exhausting. Leisure increased. A culture industry provided panem et circenses. The workers became "middle class" Oil/gas did the heavy lifting.
Then they globalized and moved the factories to China. The workers got poorer. The globalists began to say, "You will own nothing and be happy". And the politicians opened the borders to let the poor immigrant workers in. And the "free" markets became technofeudal directed markets... The Lords and Vassals began to appoint the leaders of "democracies"... saying you can't vote for Trump, he's a felon! You can't vote for Le Penn. You can't vote for the AfD. You can't vote for the Romanian Opposition leader....
The 'Cloud' has been proclaimed Terra Nullius. Oh wait, the computers that the cloud runs on were once Res Publica. Now they belong to and are ruled by Jack's Magic Coffee Shop. Your 'data' is now "MY' data. You don't own it. I do.
Need a 'product'? I'll sell you a single use license and send you the information (design) for a small fee. Just feed it into your "replicator". Or better, feed it into an algorithm that the self-assembling replicator can use with our 'patented' Ukrainian universal smart materials.
It's a shame that it can't fuse its' own protons into the individual atoms needed. Then every element in the Periodic Table could be constructed and added to the assembly 3-D printer feed as needed... and just in time.
We were the FAR Satan. Israel was the NEAR Satan. No one expected them reach out (we should have). We funded the Mujahadeen in the 70s. And Osama was their "International" jihad recruiter.
There's a story waiting to be told about CIA Director John Brennan. He waived the FBI off all the 9/11 attackers multiple times. He issued them their VISAs to come to the US when he was Saudi Station Chief. And he's a nutto pseudo-Muslim and Pseudo Commie.
Needless to say, I have one. My mother bought it before I was born while my family was stationed in Japan (early 50s). Pure brass. About 2 feet tall. I like to think of him as my "Yamabushi". At the top of his staff, lighting the scroll he is reading, is the light bulb (and lamp shade). Technology cannot improve it. It's perfect, as is.
My friend is writing a fictional story of the Yamabushi. It should hit Amazon before Christmas.
My father told me that my mother negotiated with the shop owner for the lamp for the entire 2 years they were stationed there. He sold it to her (finally) in the last few days of their deployment.
Whatever. It's my time too. Even if for a little. And in second part of 80 USSR was drowning in own domestic problems... even to think about something like war.

The Res Publica is owned by the Tech Lords
DEMN ideological BS))))
Well... energy -- never cheap. Yawn.
Only payment can be delayed... with interest.;-p
))))))
The 'Cloud' has been proclaimed Terra Nullius. Oh wait, the computers that the cloud runs on were once Res Publica. Now they belong to and are ruled by Jack's Magic Coffee Shop. Your 'data' is now "MY' data. You don't own it. I do.
Tech leads... the Law follows. Information - commodified.
Need a 'product'? I'll sell you a single use license and send you the information (design) for a small fee. Just feed it into your "replicator". Or better, feed it into an algorithm that the self-assembling replicator can use with our 'patented' Ukrainian universal smart materials.
It's a shame that it can't fuse its' own protons into the individual atoms needed. Then every element in the Periodic Table could be constructed and added to the assembly 3-D printer feed as needed... and just in time.
Or maybe it's more Vapour deposition than Printer. I suppose replicator scale matters. Ditto for self-replicating smart materials.
Atomic scales. Molecular scales. Cellular scales. Organic Scales. Body scales. Body-Network interface scales.
I didn't switch over to civilian science/ aerospace (NASA) until 92-3.
Global Governance, now with New and Improved Woke (ESG/DEI) Democracy born out of NED, USAID, and the US Institute for Peace.
We were the FAR Satan. Israel was the NEAR Satan. No one expected them reach out (we should have). We funded the Mujahadeen in the 70s. And Osama was their "International" jihad recruiter.
There's a story waiting to be told about CIA Director John Brennan. He waived the FBI off all the 9/11 attackers multiple times. He issued them their VISAs to come to the US when he was Saudi Station Chief. And he's a nutto pseudo-Muslim and Pseudo Commie.
Every ideology ultimately fails from an excess of its' own 1st principle... to paraphrase
Needless to say, I have one. My mother bought it before I was born while my family was stationed in Japan (early 50s). Pure brass. About 2 feet tall. I like to think of him as my "Yamabushi". At the top of his staff, lighting the scroll he is reading, is the light bulb (and lamp shade). Technology cannot improve it. It's perfect, as is.
My friend is writing a fictional story of the Yamabushi. It should hit Amazon before Christmas.
My father told me that my mother negotiated with the shop owner for the lamp for the entire 2 years they were stationed there. He sold it to her (finally) in the last few days of their deployment.
Sentimental value.
Probably melted down from an old WWII artillery shell and re-purposed.

Yap.
Exactly what DEMN brainwashers would like you to think...
Yeah. Words... are just a labels.
That's why things like "war it's peace" possible.
But... brainwashing "you are stuffed, you are stuffed", when you are hungry... do not.
Whatever. It's my time too. Even if for a little.
And in second part of 80 USSR was drowning in own domestic problems... even to think about something like war.
Yeah...
Yeah...

And? You know what to do with that data??? ;-p
Like, you know principles of computing, and able to analyse it?
Or... what you'll use it for?

Yawn.
No. You don't.(know how damn thing works)
//Atomic scales. Molecular scales. Cellular scales. Organic Scales. Body scales. Body-Network interface scales.
Yap.
You mastered neither.
And nobody know how to.
That's why we have no new techs... and only pipe (opioid?) dreaming about, how it should work... by itself.
As one of your USA idiots stated "technology undestinguishable from magic".
Yawn.
We were taking it very seriously until they folded...and many of the cooler cutting edge programs got cancelled
Advising Nancy Pelosi's stock purchases.
It doesn't wander around autonomously deciding what needs improving, that's for sure.
You mastered them? Who knew?
>>>>And nobody know how to.<<<<
But well, Lem gave a hint. ;-)
...and then a miracle evolves?
