It's not exactly "wealth for its own sake". For a lot of this people, it's what they do for sport. The money isn't about buying things, it's just how they keep score.
As other posters have observed, Wikipedia is functional. Simplicity *is* what counts as beautiful when writing an encyclopaedia.
There is one big flaw in its appearance, and that is the incoherent mixing of en-GB and en-US spellings. There are so many customization options already, it's ridiculous that there isn't one to consistently give your choice of en-GB, en-GB-oed, en-US, and maybe en-CA, rather than having what 45% or 55% of the world's English speakers will consider misspellings in an otherwise scholarly and professional-quality work.
In a sense, you're both right. We do have a deep understanding of gravity with very few situations that we cannot calculate, and therefore we now turn to a deeper and more complete understanding. An equivalent problem in biology might be the origin of life in terms of specific chemical reactions. It would be reasonable to say that physics has 'solved' gravity and biology and not 'solved' origin of life, although in both cases scientists don't stop but simply turn to the next level of understanding, with neither ever being 'solved' in any objective sense.
Why does no-one ever promote equality for *everyone*, including single people, and campaign to just abolish marriage altogether? Then all these silly arguments go away.
Marriage is certainly not about love in any legal sense. In terms of family law in most jurisdictions, marriage has almost completely lost its original meaning anyway. (Marriage was about inheritance, and everything else simply followed from that. Not saying that that's good or bad, just that when people talk about 'traditional' marriage, that's what they're referring to, whether they realize it or not.)

Valid point. But I'd still make an exception for mosquitoes.
The single biggest flaw I've seen is not understanding what a team is. A team is not just a bunch of people with complementary goals. A team means people are invested in the performance and success of their team mates, and are constantly sharing information and supporting each other.
Being a team player is not, however, going beyond your contractual obligations to compensate for the bad planning of others.
The hard part is finding people who genuinely want voting machines that are safe. The supplier was probably shocked that the Irish government wanted to actually count real votes, because that's not the purpose of the devices they sell.
Sadly, this was inevitable because the people trying to educate us about the reality of global climate change have a lunatic fringe which *does* overstate the situation, and that's as unhelpful and dishonest as the people pretending that there is no global climate change.

Happiness is always subjective and temporal.
No, in the 18th century 'Happiness' didn't mean the 21st century meaning of happiness, it meant material prosperity.
In this situation, the employer is happy, because insurance rates are low, and the employee gets screwed.
No, the employee faces the consequences of their own decision.
The LAPD was right, it's impossible (in practical, not necessarily absolute, terms).
That guy was convicted of sedition. Your criminal justice system at work!
And, unlike terrorists today, he got a lawful trial.
Possibly quite a lot, assuming they had paid for the kind of kennel which is specially designed to travel on the roof of a car.
...someone who would like to frame Iran.
Maybe because they're air bases that are mobile.
Let's face it, even the scientists don't know what quantum spin is all about.
Because non-scientists don't have a clue what Einstein did, just that it was really important.
They especially don't know that he did everything when he was young.
A near-death experience is selective oxygen deprivation. It's the opposite of studying what it would take to lengthen a healthy life.

Yes and no. If the original vaccinations are the vector for the new virus, then, yes, the vaccinations are part of the problem.

It scares me how historically accurate that is.

The key to the Stradivarius is the material, not the design. The design is the same as every other violin, or it wouldn't be a violin.
It's quite a bit simpler than that. * associates right to left, most other things left to right. const is just an innocent victim.
And when they've finished tapping everyone, the requests for new taps will drop to nearly zero!
The point is that the fringes enable each other, and that makes the one fringe part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Both will work in this case.
