iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Vegan Vednesday, people. Just leave out the butter on your toast and you are already halfway there. Milk spoils the taste of tea anyway. Canteen salad for lunch and egg-free pasta with tomato sauce and you‘ve done it!

I usually tell them that we are all excited over the introduction of the tooth brush in the near future.

The good news is that the cost only applies to the company.

Easy enough to make the frame flash fluorescent green when it is recording.

If I had to take an oath it would be on the Sundar Gutka, not because I believe or anything, but Sikhs I have known have been without exception admirable people who left me wanting to be more like them. Muslins in second place.

How about giving them a home instead, or is that too simple?

Cymande. The band has finally made its way into my life. So why were they never where they should have been? Can the world really be so without good taste?

Is that not a good thing? Anyway, there is not really any difference between the two main parties, just in detail as to who gets the pay-offs and how.

Is this not subject to prosecution under incitement to commit a crime, ie, extra-judicial killing?

Well there is that, but by that stage of the film I am usually in tears and have never been bothered to check which direction they are going in. It could easily be deeper into Austria, even. Job for my next viewing.

Quite a lot in the Sound of Music. I was a student in Salzburg. But it is still my favourite film.

Thanks. I am familiar with New Roots. My Migros only stocks Alnatura and V-Love products. I will keep looking.

The evil locust clock is now one of three designed and built by Dr John Taylor, who made his money making electric kettle controls. Searching desperately for public works created by other domestic appliance wealth.

Just found it. I was ignorant - I thought the blue was only produced by living organisms. It must be great to live where these vegan foods are available - but not in Switzerland, as far as I know.

I don’t really miss cheese cheese any more …. But blue cheese. Is there any vegan blue cheese?

There must have been many ranches available to buy in New Mexico without being Epstein's ranch.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

He always has been mad, bad and stupid. Why celebrate now that some are having the courage to point this out? Why not criticise their previous dereliction?

As author/creator he probably has rights in some places, depending if he spoke as part of an interview or just a brain fart. I am not an expert, you might be able to tell. But ironic, given that AI has harvested publications without permission and I am sure in many cases without rights.
