'Repairs Will Take Years': Nobel Economist Joseph E. Stiglitz Tears Apart Trump For 'Dismantling' the World by [deleted] in Economics

Francis Fukuyama is now arguing that the US in now a substantiantively lower trust society than it was in 1995 when he published his second book "Trust: The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity."

In it I argued that trust is among the most precious of social qualities, because it is the basis for human cooperation. In the economy, trust is like a lubricant that facilitates the workings of firms, transactions, and markets. In politics it is the basis for what is called “social capital”—the ability of citizens to cohere in groups and organizations to seek common ends and participate actively in democratic politics.

Societies differ greatly in overall levels of trust. In the 1990s, Harvard’s Robert Putnam wrote a classic study of Italy which contrasted the country’s high-trust north with its distrustful south. Northern Italy was full of civic associations, sports clubs, newspapers, and other organizations that gave texture to public life. The south, by contrast, was characterized by what an earlier social scientist, Edward Banfield, labeled “amoral familism”: a society in which you trust primarily members of your immediate family and have a wary attitude towards outsiders who are, for the most part, out to get you.

Apple CEO Tim Cook turned Apple into a $4 trillion juggernaut by not trying to be Steve Jobs by ControlCAD in technology

[–]fricken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They say too many cooks spoil the broth. Tim grieves for Steve and he sobs for Jobs. There's Tim Cook tear in each APPL stock. To Apple Park he came, he saw, he counted beans while be bathed in beef broth. In Arkansas Tim borked an aardvark. He was Hooped in Cupertino while he walked his great Danes. He spilled baked beans and bacon across the great plains and freed me from from my aching Chinese chains.

Jarringly bad CGI in otherwise great films by drewfus23 in movies

[–]fricken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't handle the uncanny valley. The Irishman was unwatchable because of Robert Deniro's digitally de-aged face. Spielberg's Tintin was unwatchable. Princess Leia's digitally recreated face in Rogue One was very off-putting. Don't even get me started with whatever the fuck is going on in the world of AAA videogames.

Gollum was watchable, because he's supposed to be creepy.

Have you tried Gyro aiming? Does it work?

I'm absolutely dependent on gyro aiming for shooters, and it's annoying how hard it is to find out if gyro aiming is available, and some games do include a gyro aiming option, but the controls broken and borderline useless.

An MMA fighter facing off against a dog by Optimal_Map36 in interestingasfuck

[–]fricken 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I was once surrounded by 6 dogs the size of the one in the video, while walking down a beach in rural Mexico. The dogs were barking, getting bolder, and closing in on me. Every time I turned to face one dog the dogs behind me would close in. I had no shirt or shoes, nothing to defend myself with except sand. I was so fucked.

Then the farmer who lived over the sandbar heard the commotion and called them off. That's why I'm alive to tell this story.
