Is there anything in the eurozone rules preventing central banks from providing banking services — current accounts, basically — to private customers?

Ha! That is clearly the value of @thebrowser, I agree — but not the price, at least for the moment.

Yes — but I'd like to define this more strictly; a creator who also handles production, distribution and monetisation. Rowling is close — and might have hit the billion if she had self-published on Amazon and still found her market

Could there be a one-person billion-dollar media company? What would be the model?

When I ideate dying, I think of the music I'd want to be listening to. Is that universal? Or do you think of the pictures you'd want to be seeing, the books you'd want to be reading?

the Audible version of Emily Wilson's Odyssey translation (read by Clare Danes) is fantastic, electrifying, it totally converted me to audio books and now I do most of my book-reading with my ears. Does Rachel have an Audible account? i want to gift it to her.

I wish her the very best. But Rosie, do read the Moody's letter and tell me what you think. To see that drivel in the print edition up there next to the motto "Without Fear And Favour" is just too much even for placid me. (I'm in an airport lounge, hence the print edition)

How does one apply to be letters editor of the @ft? Today's print paper has a ridiculous puff-piece from @MoodysInvSvc in prime place, and fascinating letter about Austria buried at the foot. Was the Moody's placement some kind of legal horse-trade?

And in a funny sort of way Russell did that, in the History, by arranging them on a timeline, not by trying to mash them up

Charles Sanders Peirce is worth remembering, even if you don't think he ticks all the boxes.

... and in the next verse with Blood Meridian. Maybe Bo Diddley could also get involved in a vowelish, half-rhyming way

and it's also making me think that we are now resuming (after two thousand years) the better course of consuming words through our ears, not our eyes; good audiobooks supplant the inner voice with a better reading voice; no need for the eyes>my_dull_inner_voice>brain mediation

I am starting to suspect a convergence between direct visual apprehension and unusual retention — such that "photographic memory" is both metaphorical ("remembers every detail") and literal ("captures the image, not the vocalisation")
