Some popular neoclassical economic models rely on the "No-Ponzi-Scheme" condition being true. Essentially meaning that Capital can't become negative because there are no ponzi schemes which affect the economy.

This seems like that assumption is just one of the wrong ones.

Here's my hypothesis. People have little contact to Muslims and the way Islam is being usually practiced. Thus people's opinion of Islam is heavily influenced by the worst shit and stereotypes. With Christianity most people have friends or relatives that are "moderate" christians or whatever. So the worst versions of Christianity are less present.

Because reddit makes you think it's needed. It's cheeky you have to skip the email entry or leave it empty with nothing telling you that it's optional.

If they don't control most of the nodes in-between they can control all the exit nodes they want. If you connect though 3 Tor nodes, as soon as one of them is not controlled by them they likely can't identify you.

That's not to say that they don't control most of the nodes, and your traffic likely goes through NSA nodes exclusively

I am not sure what he's hinting at. Just using Tor doesn't bear any legal risks. Hosting an exit node is different, as depending on the country you might get into serious trouble if certain traffic goes through it.

Serious question: Why would somebody want to wear a hat when sleeping?

You're right on the spot with media reporting on this.

To be fair the vast majority of scientists will take other factors into account. If you thought of "this could also be because of that" then you can be sure that the scientists and the ones reviewing the publication also thought about it and addressed it. There are exceptions, sure, but don't just assume everyone is bad at their job.

Not even economic. There's all of the textbooks on LibGen. Having access to those means even poor people can get a shot at learning with expensive textbooks. Having easier access to education means the population can be more productive and work in high impact fields.

They will actively contribute while growing their userbase. When they hit critical mass they will cutoff the fediverse and take their users and their content with them. It happened before.
