Title should mention this was in 1950. We are not talking about new work.
Like others have mentioned, you don't need to prove this today. But back then was different.
It still took till 1973 to get the diagnosis removed from the official psychology handbook, per the article.
If I understand the example correctly, it seems a misinterpretation of the Golden Rule?
The rule says to treat others the way you wish to be treated by them. It does not say do onto others as they did to you or to others. I.e. if verbing is wrong, you should not verb A or suggest to verb A.
I think you are downvoted because your first sentence is misinterpreted, or the rest of your argument is not being read?
You are giving an example of a position and later on discussing the people who have this position as their first and main principle. Seems like a valid example to me, but perhaps people can explain why not.
Yeah, it's unfortunate. I disagree with this portion of the point he's making, but I don't see why people would treat it as not being valuable to the conversation at hand. I think it actually highlights the point of disagreement really well.
can you help me find a more poignant first-order disagreement to use? Perhaps my social democratic context is picking the wrong abstract in order to isolate a better platform of co-operation. In Europe we generally think that universal healthcare is somewhat of a given which sets up the context. In the UK at least (where I am from) belief in the NHS (national health service) is pretty much a political no-brainer.
I think you hit on it quite well with you statement about stealing public money in your parallel comment, which I generalized to simply "plundering the commons for personal gain". I have no idea why people would downvote the argument, but I think discussing that is generally frowned upon on HN.
No need to go anonymous. I fondly remember my achievement of taking apart my washing machine to replace the drum bearing. Thanks to the interweb gods for making blogs and videos that helped me.
And remember that you all are part of the market. In my area you can choose what power generation your electricity comes from. Most customers do not bother, unfortunately (less than 10% of Marin Clean Energy customers).
I know, not real-time. Renewable energy credit trading, and such. But you become the demand for clean generation if you choose to do so. It is easy. If you are in Marin, Contra Costa, Napa, or Solano go to https://mcecleanenergy.org/opt-up/
Similar CCA's are all over California and probably beyond.
My (American) brother in law calls me cheap. Which is what frugal sounds like to me. As a native Dutch I call myself cheaper than the Scottish. When I go out shopping, I will spend hours looking and not buying anything.
I don't think stingy fits the bill per se since that would be saving money at the expense of others. Almost like the coffee shop customers who are not buying anything?
According to [1], the cost of one train from this manufacturer is over 10 Million Euros. Why would they play these shenanigans in a competitive market at the risk of pissing off their customers? Are other train vendors doing the same?
Or is this a local lock-in where it is hard as a Polish railway not to buy from the one Polish manufacturer?
The really sad thing is that the manufacturer in question, NEWAG, simply makes good trains. But for whatever reason they decided they are goingto fight the end of servicing monopoly with underhanded methods (law forcibly disaggregated servicing from manufacturers).
But it is also very entrenched in local community, not nationwide, but the city etc where it's located.
Imagine the mentality from various stories, movies etc where a big factory owner rules the local community because they own the biggest factory that everything else depends on? Somewhat similar vibe goes with NEWAG.
> Semi-related anecdote: The first time I went to the Rodin museum I was struck by how badly one of the busts had been lighted. Whilst the guards were not looking, I moved it to a more agreeable position. I came back one year later to find it was still in that position.
A very funny video. Thanks. I will keep it as it beautifully demonstrates the waterfall of mistakes that often follow a minor change to a painting's composition.
Another anecdote: I was once photographing a painting in a museum gallery that did not encourage Phtography. Unfortunately, the light was causing excessive glare. Whilst the guards were not looking, we placed a cigarette package out of view under the frame to lift it away from the glare. Again... upon return many months later the cigarette package was still there.
I should state that this was a very provisional museum. It had recently been painted, and there were drops of paint of the frames showing that the paintings had not been removed during the painting.
The wikipedia page about the Mali Empire [1] has a few books in the Further Reading section. This one looks promising: African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa [2]
