They won't do it so it's not even worth thinking about.

They just happen to publish a new System of National Accounts (SNA) every time this happens. Last time it was to put more emphasis on R&D.

I've woken up twice under anesthesia. When I wake up, I'm sort of frantic and they just zap me with more drugs and I pass back out. I honestly don't think it's a big deal and sort of cool I remember a little bit of the process. I'm not like in pain or anything, just awake.

It's more likely they just released the rough percentages and someone natively did the reverse calculation.

I worked in government contracting as my first job out of college and the guy who sat I next to in the cubical worked on curating reports for various gov agencies. They would often come back to him and tell him that they number weren't right and it should be more like 'X'. He would then just change the numbers and send it back because he didn't give a fuck.

Depends on the mouse I guess, which of course they'll try to make as complicated as possible to seem like they're doing something hard. There's really no difference between a mouse and a keyboard from a HID perspective. The DPI setting generally only change how the mouse movements are interpreted inside the mouse, rather than fundamentally change how it's reported over the wire.

I thought if we made workers poorer then it'd force a more competitive environment! How did this basic core macro-economic principle of neo-liberal economics fail us?!

I can bring two magnets close to each other and feel their fields interact so I know fields are real. Why not more fields, idk. What holds atoms together? Fuck if I should know, probably more magic fields. In the point of view of a photon, it travels instantaneously to its destination? That seems fake.

Any blockers. Yes many.

We're not at war with China. China is our largest trading partner. Realistically we could never be at war with China because our lives would be terribly hard without them. Stop wanting to be at war with China. Do they realize what that means???

Yeah, it's a major consideration when determining if a merger should happen, e.g. Krogers. Just because its more efficient doesn't mean you get consumer benefit because you should expect them to profit maximize with monopoly rents. I mean definitely +1 on nationalize them rather than let capitalism go unfettered, but I'm making a general observation that large companies can only be large because they can extract monopoly rents, rather than just a barrier to entry to match efficiencies of scale thing.

I hope they know they'll become old one day and will need your help, I hope you remind them of how shitty they treated you and you get closure.
