Nearly without joking: Karl Marx..

As you seem to want to acquire or manage the means of production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Means_of_production

Well yeah, I'm a capitalist. A good capitalist wants centralized control of the means of production, like the communists.

They're just honest in their intentions

Sure :)

Hard to not give a somewhat generic answer without the kind of ideas of things that need to be manufactured (and in which area).

Maybe try to find companies like Rtone (I'm not money related with them): https://rtone.fr/en/

Or go to fairs/shows for equivalent ideas of things, there is always those behind-the-scene workers around.

Honest intentions but hidden (private) knowledge.

Wishing you the best !

Regarding synth strings, maybe Roland Integra-7 (and stuff like that) can do the trick.

Black Hole (Charles Burns)

But, yeah, comics == superhero (for me as well) cause the others examples are more "strips" first published in newspapers than comics.

Yes and Homer's Odysseus can be read as an allegory of PTSD. So pretty old.

Edit: The quote is followed by "Everything about this claim is still controversial(...)"

Yeah I'd say that a soldier in a medieval battle had even less chances to survive (AND tell his tale) if he had PTSD.

So might be some form of survival bias at play.

> I'd say that a soldier in a medieval battle had even less chances to survive

Why would you say that?

There were a lot of minor conflicts in the middle ages. Not everything was as big as the crusades.

NTS does the job well for me:

Seconded! I would highly recommend NTS. Their archive is great, dives into almost anything you can think of

Been listening for a couple of hours or so. Love it, cheers.

There is no banking secrecy to Swiss residents. How the government would collect taxes ? It is not free of charge here.

And it also infected youtube and instagram.

> those (chinese) companies largely exist thanks to their state barring competition from the outside

> (...)the United States government will clamp down on them hard.

In the same sentence, nice one. :)

As they say - do onto others.

American companies today don't need the protection. They are better companies.

With China now using state imbalances to fund their tech sector, restrictions will be needed. You can't compete with free stuff backed by a foreign state.

What makes you believe that the US companies are fundamentally better? Tictoc seems to outcompete US social media companies lately and Tesla said themselves their only competition comes from China. I don't think Bytedance has a huge burn rate or at least higher than could be funded on the public markets, no need for state backing.

Right now they just are.

Larger world market share. More internal diversity and understanding of other cultures.

Good reference.

On my old nokia C3, there is a kind of App Store that is not working for a while as the servers are shutdown.

Everytime I "joke" that I live in the future of smartphones.

What is Twitter ?
