  • In 2010–2011, Anadarko Petroleum and Eni discovered the Mamba South gas field, recoverable reserves of 4,200 billion cubic metres (150 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas in the Rovuma Basin, off the coast of northern Cabo Delgado Province. Once developed, this could make Mozambique one of the largest producers of liquefied natural gas in the world

    Mozambique gave France's Total Energy control over the extraction process

    In 2017 Mozambique received gas developement bids (power plants, fertilizer, plastics etc) from 14 companies and chose 3 of them:

    Norway’s Yara International

    UK's GL Africa Energy

    USA's Shell Mozambique

    Doesn't appear to have any Russia or China involvement. An islamist insurgancy started in Cabo Delgado Province around 2017. I'm sure it's a complete coincidence the worlds largest NG reserve is also located in Cabo Delgado Province.

  • Read a book once from a 70's LA studio musician and they were saying eagles,stealy dan, fleetwood mac, zevon, doobie brothers were all close friends and used the same studio musicians on all their albums. Iirc it was the guy that did the famous lead guitar track on realin in the years














  • I learned it thru EE but I’ve always been aware that it is a much larger field of study. Its so pervasive it seems like it reveals something fundamental about the nature of reality kind of like how probability theory permeates all of the important scientific advances of the 20th century. I’m gonna have to do a deep dive on cybernetics now.

    So in EE signals and system analysis you have a system with an input and an output. You smack it with an impulse input and you get an output response. The output can be separated into a transient response and a steady state response. The transient goes away and the ss response remains. You use this info to get characteristic equation of system which can then be used to determine the response of the system to other inputs, determine stability and other useful stuff.

    I think about system control every time someone mentions communism doesn’t take human nature into consideration. So your saying in order to control humans greedy resource hoarding nature you are going to control it with a greedy system? Good luck with that positive feedback.

    Positive feedback? Ha ha thanks for the compliment bud your lookin pretty good yourself.

    No not that kind of positive feedback it means literal positive and negative. If your input to the system is blowing up positive you need to feedback a negative portion of the output back into the input thereby bringing the input to the system down and stabilizing the output or vice versa.

    I’m also thinking about systems where the USA is a linear(maybe) system and the inputs are natural and man made events and the American system has a characteristic equation and response to these events. At least since 9/11 the response is to print trillions of $$$ and distribute it top down to the half way point effectively paying half of Americans to murder the other half. 15 trillion print on 9/11, 8 trillion print in 2008 bank crash and recently 8 trillion print for covid and things like BLM, masking or anti-masking etc being the transient response and war in Ukraine and Middle East as part of USA’s characteristic response. I dunno I'm just rambling now none of this answers your question about using control systems for economics I'm gonna have to do some research.

    According to wikipedia Aldi Nord owns USA Aldi's and Trader Joes but says they operate them separately and Aldi Sud owns Winn-dixie and Harveys. They both own Aldi's in Germany which must be confusing because even their logos look similar. I've heard one of the Aldi's in Germany is considered upscale so maybe the good German Aldi's is owned by Aldi Sud.
