If an Englishman uses 'soccer' he's almost certainly from the upper class.

As “soccer” was played by the elite (such as the Oxford lad who is said to have coined “soccer”), it soon spread to the working classes, and became “football”.

I really have no interest in Michael Lewis. He only writes about people he likes and usually fails to analyse their actions critically.

My guess. Dud was just totally disconnected from reality. He isn't that smart and didn't understand how badly he'd fucked up.

Gold star content. I don't know why but this reminded me of my experience playing Sudden Strike for the first time.

What a fucking joke

I agree. But the problem comes when the investors want to start to see a return. Just look at the state of the tech industry now. Consider the failure of second sight and how it's left people with brain implants that no longer function.

I agree the tech looks promising and we are going to need a lot of adaptation solutions but right now theyre being funded in order to take advantage of the serious cost to society and with the need for returns those costs will only spiral upward. This will be especially obvious when we consider that it is the poorest communities who are most affected by climate disasters. The richest people will get adaptation. The poorest will get refugee status.

By relying so heavily on private solutions governments abdicate responsibility and communities get left to pick up the pieces.

Ah yes I'm sure capitalism can solve this issue.

Sounds like Crash Team Racing.

The massive amount of work that goes into a modern AAA title is truly mind blowing. It's gross that so little money goes to the people who actually make the games but certainly the effort is astounding even in titles that fall short of expectations.

"She would use $950,000 of her divorce settlement to buy the mountain."

I'm just flabbergasted by the sheer amount of money these people have. Who has $950,000 or anywhere close to that amount of cash? Even if I sold my house I wouldn't have that!
