Communists hate kulaks because kulaks are proof that the lower class can better its condition through hard work and intelligence, and indeed become quite wealthy and well-capitalized in so doing, which flies in the face of their eternal oppression narrative To be a communist is to, by disposition, side with losers purely because they are losers

Up soon on Newstalk ZB talking compensation for plasma donation. NZ's ban on paid donation just means we import product derived from US paid donors, while underusing immunoglobulin. It doesn't make sense.

If you've adopted AI at your company but haven't seen any tangible results, read this 1990 article: "The Dynamo and the Computer" by Paul David. When electricity first arrived, factories that "adopted" it barely got faster. They just swapped the steam engine for an electric one and ran everything else exactly as before: same machine layout, same workflow, same management. Electricity in, no real gains out. The most common mistake with any new technology is to drop it into the old organization and then declare the transformation done. The real leap came decades later, when each machine got its own small motor. Suddenly machines no longer had to be lined up around one central drive shaft. They could be rearranged around the actual flow of work. The productivity gains didn't come from electricity. They came from REDESIGNING THE ENTIRE FACTORY around it. AI is the same. Bolting it onto your existing process gets you a faster steam engine. The payoff comes when you redesign the work itself. (link to paper in comments)
