Failure
Wall Street and Silicon Valley – the two worlds this book examines – promote the illusion that scarcity can and should be eliminated in the age of seamless “flow.” Instead, Appadurai and Alexander propose a theory of habitual and strategic failure by exploring debt, crisis, digital divides, and (dis)connectivity.Moving between the planned obsolescence and deliberate precariousness of digital technologies and the “too big to fail” logic of the Great Recession, they argue that the sense of failure is real in that it produces disappointment and pain.Yet, failure is not a self-evident quality of projects, institutions, technologies, or lives.It requires a new and urgent understanding of the conditions under which repeated breakdowns and collapses are quickly forgotten. By looking at such moments of forgetfulness, this highly original book offers a multilayered account of failure and a general theory of denial, memory, and nascent systems of control.

What is the difference between left heart failure and forward failure, as well as right heart failure and backward failure?
Left heart failure and forward failure are terms used interchangeably to describe the inability of the left side of the heart to pump blood effectively to the body, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue. On the other hand, right heart failure and backward failure refer to the inability of the right side of the heart to effectively pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation, resulting in symptoms like fluid retention and swelling in the body. Essentially, left heart failure affects the systemic circulation, while right heart failure impacts the pulmonary circulation.

Is failure on the internet transferable to real life?
Failure on the internet can sometimes be transferable to real life, depending on the situation. For example, if someone's online actions lead to legal consequences, it can definitely impact their real-life situation. Additionally, reputational damage from online failures can also spill over into real life, affecting relationships, job opportunities, and more. However, it's important to remember that not all online failures will have a direct impact on real life, and it's possible to learn from mistakes and move forward positively in both realms.
-

With determination, resilience, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, individuals can overcome failure and achieve their goals.

Government Failure & Over-Government
Arthur Seldon uses public choice economics research to support his theory of over-government.The term "over-government" was coined by Seldon and is defined as the failure of governments to govern well, leading the public to avoid government programs in favour of markets.Seldon explains how the results of government programs are always at odds with what the people would have chosen for themselves, because governments seek to impose taxes and legislature based on their own agendas.This increasing control and restraint by the government will continue to force people to abandon those ineffective programs for more open markets and other countries that support them.Seldon argues that government bureaucrats rely too heavily on unions, labour groups, and lobbyists and act in their own interest instead of opening those options up to the people they serve.Seldon purports that any government that continues to force its own views and desires on the unwilling public will lead to its own demise as the public searches elsewhere for a more representative democracy.

Dieppe : A Necessary Failure
The Allied assault on the German-occupied port of Dieppe in France, code-named Operation Jubilee, took place on 19 August 1942.It was a battle that lasted for less than ten hours but it has gone down in history as a military disaster, often spoken of in the same manner as the Charge of the Light Brigade and Gallipoli.The German defences had been underestimated. The numbers killed, wounded and taken prisoner at Dieppe were shockingly high and none of the main objectives were realised.The Third Reich considered the raid as a military joke and it provided a textbook of ‘what not to do’ in future amphibious operations. Dieppe was the largest tri-service operation ever mounted up until that point, and even if the planning for the operation was woefully inadequate, it showed that the three services could coordinate their movements under one command.Many believe that Dieppe should not be looked upon as an isolated incident because then its purpose is totally obscured by its terrible cost.Put into context, it was one in a series of raids between Dunkirk and D-Day designed to test the defences of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, the most famous and successful being the attack on St Nazaire, which is still considered to be the greatest Commando raid of all time. Author Henry Buckton has searched the voluminous records of interviews with Canadian Dieppe veterans collected by Historica Canada to shed new light on this terrible – but perhaps necessary – failure.

Is liver failure painful?
Liver failure itself is not typically painful, as the liver does not have nerve endings that sense pain. However, the underlying conditions that can lead to liver failure, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis, can cause discomfort and pain. Additionally, complications of liver failure, such as ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen) or hepatic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), can be painful or uncomfortable. It is important for individuals with liver disease to work closely with their healthcare providers to manage symptoms and pain effectively.

Was Hirohito a failure?
Hirohito's reign as Emperor of Japan was marked by significant challenges and failures, particularly during World War II.

Ultimately, whether Hirohito was a failure depends on the specific aspects of his reign that are being evaluated.

Is kidney failure possible?
Yes, kidney failure is possible. It can be caused by a variety of factors including diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and certain medications. When the kidneys fail, they are no longer able to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins in the body. Treatment for kidney failure may include dialysis or a kidney transplant. It is important to monitor and manage risk factors for kidney disease in order to reduce the likelihood of kidney failure.
