You see, the problem that I have with these kind of "explanations", is that those facts have been around for a long time. Why is it that precisely today (well, yesterday) was the day that everyone decided "right guys, we're selling equities"?

The things you describe explain why people keep their finger hovering over the "sell" button, they don't explain why precisely today they decided to press it.

I don't think you have a clear idea of what you are talking about in terms of regulation.

As mentioned earlier, Sarbanes-Oxley regulations on public company reporting (which is what is being discussed here) precedes the 2008 financial crisis. There are different regulations that came into place on banks after the 2008 crisis like the Basel III capital requirements that attempt to solve a different problem.

But that's not really a REPL. It lacks the 'L' and often also the 'P'. Running code from a text buffer in an editor is one way to interact (many Lisp tools do that), but a REPL is usually a tool and its purpose is to read expressions, evaluate them and print the results. I would be surprised, if Smalltalk did not have that somewhere, too. The REPL has a visible I/O history and is not conflated with other text input fields (like a function being edited).

Inflation is a very regressive economic phenomenon, so to speak. When it rises it tends to affect poorer people the hardest because they don’t have the negociating power towards their employers to keep their salaries’ increases above the inflation rate and second, and equally important, a larger portion of their incomes goes towards base purchases (food, gas for their cars or public transport passes etc), so if the prices of those items increase more than said poor people can afford that means that those people would have to give up on some of those said base products (only drive if strictly necessary, give up on some food altogether etc). That is bad.

I think context is important - think power laws, faultline stress in plate tectonics, or as in this case magnitude of movement when the move actually comes.

As to what triggers the move itself - my feeling is that some kind of crowd effect occurs, i.e. once we get over some resistance level, then the movement implied in the imbalances described by the context takes over; the crowd creates its own impetus. But it is very difficult or even impossible to determine ahead of time what minor movement will become the catalyst, in much the same way that determining which butterfly flap vortex will become a hurricane.

Why today(and Friday)? People track government data to form opinions. and first Friday of the month is very important because of a data point called Non-Farm Payroll or NFP. It is known to cause a lot of movement in the markets. Lot of brokers will tell you not trade during the announcement. You can see a lot of opinions on what was expected to happen on Monday by googling for NFP. Case in point:

Second, it seems you think these decisions are binary - to be or not to be or rather sell or not sell. It's not that simple. Lower markets doesn't mean everyone has sold off all their shares. They just reduce probabilities of their losses by reducing exposure. Then people go back to their drawing boards and see if the hypothesis holds up. If not, they come back and market moves higher.

I've never seen any evidence of that. Most bugs start you down rarely thought about paths and if you didn't map them out before hand all kinds of unexpected behavior could crop up.

> Too fast increase in interest rates will cause their debt obligations to balloon and lower profitability

Its not so bad for companies that export with a weaker dollar. Also for primarily domestic businesses where higher inflation correlates to a higher top line. In fact is advantageous to be in such a situation.
> We need to distinguish between the two.

More than that, you need to distinguish between accidents and fatalities and then you need to put them both against the number of miles driven. In the US we're currently at about 36,000 fatalities per year with about 3 trillion miles driven.

> I'd guess the maximum acceptable rate would be no more than one collision in multiple years of driving.

Again.. terrible metric. The rate versus the number of miles driven _while in autonomous mode_ is what you really want to consider; and anything worse than the current numbers is absolutely unacceptable.

> For a self-driving fleet taxi with a remote operator able to take over and help it when it gets stuck, it may be.

I'm not sure that's better, or an acceptable solution. Remotely controlled, how? Do we put limits on that system? Are limits always a good idea given the context it's expected to be used in? How long between alert and remote control? What's the expected latency of drive controls, given that light actually moves pretty slow relative to the planet's size? Then, how do we secure any of that?

Either the system works better than humans, or it shouldn't be deployed. Limited trials, a good grip on the numbers and a strong regulator are what's needed.

> Mechanics in games [...] should be discoverable without reading a manual

Well, there are a few times I'd like to have explanation on how the game work, especially on things that are not easily discoverable/understandable without a lot of experiments, like you know, mechanics that are common in CRPGs like sustained effects, criticals, effect of stats... That's the kind of things I'd want to have a manual for.
>> both sides want a positive outcome (which shouldn't be surprising at all)

Well, it is suprising to me. In my country, when there is some audit by government agency, be it tax office, or stock market regulators the usual approach is that auditors won't rest until they find something against the company, some reason to fine it.

I think that auditors simply consider their time wasted if their come back to their office empty handed (i.e. without fining the audited company).

There are many cases where tax office made a company go bankrupt by first charging it with some crime, then blocking its accounts, then fining it. After few years of lawsuits company wins, court finds them innocent and orders refund of all the fines, but by the time this happens it is already too late: company is long bankrupt.

So I think you are lucky to live in a country where auditors are this friendly :)

It's really interesting that the yield curve has risen.

There's been a huge amount of negative sentiment on it's flattening, and more talk about the bonds being overbought...

China's sell off [0] was interesting and generated a lot of chatter about the value of the bonds, but it was to serve their interest (S&P lowered their ratings[0]), rather than them acting on some information.

But now, the yield curve has risen even if it's overbought?

> Second, it seems you think these decisions are binary - to be or not to be or rather sell or not sell. It's not that simple. Lower markets doesn't mean everyone has sold off all their shares. They just reduce probabilities of their losses by reducing exposure.

No. Obviously when I say "everyone decided to sell" I'm speaking figuratively.

In any case, thanks a lot for that link. Cool stuff, I didn't know about the NFP. So if it was released Friday in the morning, how come the plunge happened only happened Monday? I still prefer my view that a tiny bit of data cause people to expect a drop and get edgy, and at some point they all start selling. ("all start selling", again figuratively.)

This is opposed to a bunch of people having done some ahead of time calculations like "if the NFP comes out about X we sell, if it comes out below X we buy. Oops it's about X, lets sell". I suspect very few market participants behave like this. (Agains, below/above X is figurative. I do understand what a probability distribution function is, what an expected value is, etc.)

So here's one for you. If your reasoning is correct I would've expected to see treasuries down (which indeed was the case Friday). Instead they went up. How do you explain that?
Nobody said "things are fine", what's being said is that the ends here (stopping these appointees from achieving their goals) doesn't justify these means (mutiny by the civil servants).
Email that is reliant on the cloud is dumb.

A raspberry pi has more processing power than's needed to search and store email. ... etc etc

This trope is absolute bullshit. What people want is for stuff to work and, if stuff doesn't work, for it to be someone else's fault and/or be easy to fix.

Self-hosting fails massively at the second criterion there. Right now, if a cellphone breaks, you can just get a new one and your contacts, messages, apps, etc all sync back to it. Done, you're back on your feet.

If you have self-hosted email or smart-home-stuff, the failure modes are much worse, and you're far less likely to have someone else to blame.

Also, a raspberry pi does not have enough power to do good voice recognition, not to the level of siri/alexa/google.

It also doesn't have enough storage to cache all your music, videos you may wish to play on the TV, etc, so some external cloud integration will be needed regardless.

Self hosting has failed. People use gmail, not postfix. People use spotify, not cds or local mp3 players. People use netflix, not blurays. People use google search to find previously seen info, not a locally saved and curated archive of websites or a home-grown card catalog system. People use facebook to communicate, not diaspora.

> it is trivial to create a more user friendly device

This is obviously false or else devices like this would have been trivial to make and seen some success... but things like sandstorm.io, yunohost, and others have been incredibly complex projects and have not really succeeded. It's clearly not trivial since those people have collectively thrown millions of dollars and dozens of man-years at the problem with no glimmer of hope.

The closest we have to success in this space, I'd say, is NASs which ship owncloud... and those have not caught in for the average household at all.

These issues are a concern, but, you're acting like there was some major political landslide against rational thought when in reality the majority of voters in USA voted for Clinton.

Trump only won due to an anachronistic loophole, taking the election by a few thousand votes at max. All it would've taken is a small increase in participation and the statistical weight in favor of a Trump loss would've guaranteed that outcome.

> Why will everyone need jobs if so much stuff is automated?

In a system with property rights of the type found in capitalism, you need income from capital or labor to survive, basically. Unless the distribution of capital is levelled (and some force is exerted to keep it levelled), that means most people will rely on labor because they have no other choice.
I don't have a direct way to answer your question. I do know that whenever discussion about, say, "we need to teach programming/algorithmic thinking at school" comes up, one of the responses is "what do we cut?"

Right now in the US there is a push to focus on those things which are testable on state-wide standardized tests. As a result, schools are cutting back on other topics, and on recess. I would rather have a more regular language, less time spent on spelling lessons, and more time spent on recess and the arts.

Spelling lessons do not (in my opinion) keep "kids engaged in the process of knowledge assimilation." I remember taking home spelling lists of words to memorize, and being tested on it. We had spelling bees, which I think best encourages those who don't need encouragement.

In languages with a more regular spelling, such tasks are less important.

It's obviously hard to conduct this sort of experiment, but I don't think it's hard to see where a more regular spelling would (in principle) help.

As for Chinese, the literacy rate in China was low, in part because of the written form. China carried out language reforms as part of an effort to improve literacy (which in turn was part of a ideological movement towards social equality.) This, I think, supports the hypothesis that there are negatives in having a more complex written form.
