What about starting with the result and finding set of words that when summed together give that result?

That could be seen as trying to find the true "meaning" of a word.

Right and that's why the heat is the problem, in space.

But if the collected heat comes from a large area of solar-cells, and is then focused on the small area of a computer or graphics-card, that computer might melt.

Fleur du Mal, is that the same (concept) as "Wages of Sin"?

In a sense, it's the opposite of "the roots of evil". It's extremely decadent as a title.

That's a nice connection.

Literally, it is "The Flowers of Evil" (and "Les Fleurs du Mal", not [a] "Fleur du Mal").

The fruits of an ill-gotten gain.

The novel insight I got from the article was that introverts in fact may be better communicators than extroverts, even thought we typically think of introverts as people who don't communicate. Introverts communicate less but with better quality, according to this article.

I think he was chosen because people elsewhere don't likee American isolationism. They wanted to support the America that believes in the good, and we need support in these times. Maybe this Pope will be a strong advocate of peaceful co-existence, which is what we need.

Yes but what we exchange is "friendship" and "love". We want to feel loved. I assume that has a biological basis.

The transactional relationship is a different thing, it is a business relationship. You don't have to be a friend with someone you exchange things with.

And with good friend the necessary part to exchange are good times shared together.

Shouldn't there be some kind of points-system to the verification?

If I am verified by 2 parties each of whom is verified by 10 parties each of whom is verified by 1 party then my verification score would be 20 (= 2 x 10 x 1).

Then people could trust me beinhg me 20 x more than somebody who is only verified by one party who is only verified by one party who is not verified by anybody?

JavaScript is not Lisp but it is more like Lisp than like C, even though syntactically it much resembles C.

ES6 JS has nice syntax for calculating with lists:

   let [car, ...cdr] = [1,2,3]

After the above 'car' has value 1 and 'cdr' has value [2,3].

in that case Python is also a Lisp because it has:

    car, *cdr = [1, 2, 3, 4]

hmm Rust as well:

    let [car, cdr @ ..] = [1,2,3];

Right, but it is in large part because of Navarro that Trump thinks universal tarifss are a great idea, since Navarro advocated for them and created credibility for his theories by inventing this fictional "expert".

It gave Trump plausible deniability, he can claim he's just doing what great experts from the academia are advocating. And it gave us the market-crash and global trade-war. It's easy for billionaires to lighten up and have fun, but not for most other people.

Tariffs are a sales-tax, which means poor people have to relinguish a larger proportion of their income to the government, than rich people. It is great wealth transfer from ordinary people to the rich. And one can only conjecture that THAT is why Trump and Navarro advocate for it.

I'd guess: Navarro yes; Trump, no. In his case, it's just stupidity.
