#72The old bloomberg 404 from some years ago was pretty good: https://web.archive.org/web/20160311202451/http://www.bloomb...
I do not understand what they meant - if they intended to mean anything - with the de-composing puppet. An in-joke?
My interpretation is: The artificial construct of a man striking the computer is/was running on the computer that was struck. So the artificial construct inadvertantly destroyed itself. Perhaps implying that violence is not a good solution. An odd bit of humor, but I liked it.

#73The FT is well worth the cost. I read it cover to cover everyday, which is what I am doing now in the dark (PG&E). The weekend edition is always amazing, with great interviews (lunch with the FT). I still miss David Tang’s column (he died) as well as the humor of Mrs. Moneypenny. Janice Robinson wine column is worth the time if you are into wine.
First time seeing my name here. This is a strange personal motivation.

#74The level of care and attention to detail isn't limited just to their 404's - I find the FT is the best paper out there for macro issues.
I think I recall Chomsky saying something along the lines that the financial press is the most reliable because it isn't in their economic interest to mislead their audience.
It isn’t? Isn’t it in their interest to mislead their audience such that their audience puts their vast wealth towards causes the FT editors like?

Was OP mistakenly implying you had passed away? Or do you just happen to share the same name as the FT author?

#77Not sure about this one

Laissez Faire Capitalism: We know this page is needed, but we can't force anyone to make it.
Shouldn’t it be that there’s no profit in making one
I like it better because it’s true

I guess OP was talking about someone else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tang#Other_roles
Re: The Financial Times’ 404 page
#79It is funny that you can see the bias in FT's politics in the descriptions they use. For example, the trickle-down description genuinely reads as if written by a supporter of that economic theory in that it frames that theory in a positive economic light. Meanwhile the socialism one is written by someone intending to mock socialism and isn't even accurate to socialism. It is more a descriptor of communism than social…
