The curve can continue if you use "money spent" instead of "time spent" as the horizontal axis.

biological systems also become bottlenecked. Unbounded growth does not exist in reality. The actual curve is the sigmoid. We've just only been seeing the first half of the curve.

DHL try to charge import duties using bogus rates even for things that do not require duties and which they have no reason to think will require duties. And then if you pay them, they just keep the money.

You don't. That's the basic function of insanity.

I suspect it may be something midway between those things. The shape of the curve is the same as the shape of the curve of growth of most biological systems. There are physical laws that make Moore's Law a reasonable short-term hypothesis.

iirc we hit the end of Moore's Law a couple of times already in my career.

MEC back under Canadian ownership after 5 years of U.S. management (www.cbc.ca)

Article contains significant errors. MEC was never owned by its members. If it were, we would have had a say when it was sold, voting on whether to accept the offer, and receiving a share of the payout. MEC was never actually a cooperative. I think there should be consequences for this deception. I also think there need to be more consumer cooperatives than there are. Please mention any you know below.

The Agenda: Is Monopoly Power Undermining the Canadian Food System?

19 Nov 2024

A new report from the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project argues Canada's food system is being undermined by monopoly. And while grocery stores have become an easy target for consumer anger over the cost of food, this report says consolidation has occurred at all levels of the supply chain. The Agenda looks at the implications of the report.

What measures are in place to ensure the continuing security of our moderation team? If it won't compromise them to tell us.
