The cause of inflation is usually described as too much money chasing too few goods.

Economists often use quite narrow definitions of money, counting things like cash and bank accounts, and maybe CD's, but never other valuable liquid financial assets like stocks and bonds and real estate.

But financial decision makers absolutely do consider their full set of assets in deciding how much purchasing they can afford. How much purchasing power is chasing the available goods is really the relevant statistic for causing inflation.

In quantitative easing, the Fed gave new dollars in exchange for existing financial assets (bonds, mortgage backed securities, etc). The exchanges were roughly at market value, meaning the dollars had the same purchasing power as the assets.

The exchange let the Fed control long term interest rates and increase the supply of safe assets (dollars) in the market, which was needed as banks were forced to increase their holdings of safe assets to deleverage.

Since total purchasing power didn't increase, there was no cause for inflation.

Nice.

Take a look at position 44, where it seems to get stuck, with no move to make forward progress, and two fingers straight out. Did it lack image recognition to tell it what block rotation was needed?

It doesn't seem to work by discovering strategies for rotating the block one face at a time, then combining those. It's solving the problem as a whole. That has both good and bad implications.
> I mean, Antarctica, or the bottom of the sea, or the peak of Mount Everest all wipe the floor with Mars on every metric you can think of

The pressure at the bottom of the sea would probably make buildings safer on Mars than at the bottom of the sea, so there is one metric where Mars wins. On Mars, you've only got to deal with a pressure difference between outside and inside of -1 bar, or smaller if you don't use normal Earth sea level pressure.

At the bottom of the sea, its 1 bar for every 10 meters depth.

A major hull failure on Mars, or even in a vacuum, leading to explosive decompression is not in and of itself fatal. You quickly lose consciousness, but you have up to maybe 30ish seconds of usable consciousness to try to save yourself by getting an oxygen mask on or getting through a working airtight door to a non-breached area. It won't be comfortable, but the skin makes a decent spacesuit. You'll have problems like capillaries bursting in your eyes, but short term these things are annoyances rather than threats to your life.

A major hull failure deep underwater is a lot lot worse. Deep enough, and you'll be killed quickly by the water pressure itself, and if not, by the collapse of the building as it is crushed by the pressure.

> but really, if we get wiped out it's going to be self-inflicted [...]

Are you dismissing things like large asteroid strikes or natural pandemics as too unlikely to bother with, or would you count those as self-inflicted because we didn't put enough resources into defending against them?

> [...] and compared with the difficulty of setting up a viable colony on Mars, the difficulty of sending a few nukes over there is negligible

Or perhaps you are just considering things that we cause? However, even if we just consider things we cause, Mars would be safe from many of them, even many deliberately inflicted. Yes, if we do ourselves in with nuclear war someone might toss a few to Mars, too, especially if there are Mars colonies that are allied with one of the sides in the conflict on Earth.

But what if we do ourselves in by something like a terrorist or doomsday cult release of an engineered virus? The perpetrators probably won't have the resources to load up a rocket with it and send it to Mars.
TypeScript 3.0 Announced
I don't disagree with you that serverless is a step backwards if you want control about your running platform but your debugger example can be argued away by the fact that you shouldn't really be debugging a live platform. If your code is portable enough to run "serverless" then you should be able to spin up a docker container or whatever and run the same tests in there.

I think the issue is some people see "serverless" as an all or nothing scenario which it really isn't. Some problems are solved well with serverless and some are not. It's like the container vs virtual machine argument. One isn't designed to replace another - they're just different tools for solving different problems; each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

There are no "official/proper transliterations" other than the ones you create for your institution, which is probably an academic library because I've not heard of anyone else caring about consistent transliteration. I've seen the same Greek and Russian names transcribed in all sorts of ways in government documents. Fortunately, all government documents have some kind of a number on them. That's what you use for your database key. Names aren't unique in any case, even with the extra variation introduced by whimsical transcription.

That's not an Orwell quote.

> It is similar in meaning to Orwell's line from Notes on Nationalism (1945): "One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool." [0]

Full context:

> The average intellectual of the Left believed, for instance, that the war was lost in 1940, that the Germans were bound to overrun Egypt in 1942, that the Japanese would never be driven out of the lands they had conquered, and that the Anglo-American bombing offensive was making no impression on Germany. He could believe these things because his hatred for the British ruling class forbade him to admit that British plans could succeed. There is no limit to the follies that can be swallowed if one is under the influence of feelings of this kind. One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool. [1]

"To me the biggest mystery about the 2008 crisis is why so much QE has resulted in so little inflation."

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but a very simple answer would be that we were/are in a massively deflationary environment and (things like QE) have been necessary just to stay in place ...

> economics goes on from Homo economicus into a mass of mathiness with very poor empirical correlation except perhaps in very very narrow circumstances

If by "very narrow circumstances" you mean setting pricing, organizing distribution, predicting the effects of price increases and decreases, determining capital costs, making portfolios, and a whole bunch of other stuff that microeconomics makes precise and in a wide variety of circumstances predictably-correct predictions, sure. There is no economics on the Sun's surface.

The scale of infrastructure needed for something like that would be staggering.

Important question is, for what purpose?

Assuming it's the aviation safety domain we're talking about, I think improving aircraft connectivity to ground stations and enhancing real-time monitoring [0] would be a superior solution than to invest in array of video-recording infrastructure to keep tabs on the planet--this without even factoring in the privacy concerns that may arise out of continual recording and access to the said data.

Trump is "strengthening NATO" by telling the other members to pull their own weight, or the US will walk away. That may in fact strengthen NATO, if the other members do what Trump wants them to. If they don't, though, it could destroy NATO.

My impression is that Trump is negotiating completely differently than any previous US president. He's throwing extreme positions out there as a starting point, then trying to negotiate back to something reasonable. (Much of the outrage in the press is directed at his opening statements - both content and style - not at the end position.) This approach may work, if others adjust to his style. But international diplomacy is not like business negotiations, and he may wind up alienating countries that he really needs to keep as friends.

Here's some feedback from someone who isn't a competitor of your's.

I'm guessing you're using facebook ads to hand out surveys to targeted people. If that's not exactly what you're doing, you should be aware of the fact that your business model's value is to bypass people from going into the facebook ad manager, creating a survey, selecting a few interests / demographics and then hitting enter.

There's not a lot of value in this business model, especially given that if I did this using facebook, I would have the actual audience instead of your summary of it.

Next piece of advice, be less emotional. Someone criticized you. Don't take it personally, address their points or don't, I don't care, but as a potential customer, I look at this message and immediately am turned off by it. The message above does make some good points and you just try to drown it out with emotion.

Last piece of advice, I actually think there's a lot of value in talking to people directly. If you could actually "talk to the people from the office building in front of it" and then scale it, that might have value but from your website, I have no clue if that's what you're doing and I actually get the impression that you're not.
I agree that the headline and tone of this article are engaging in unnecessary hyperbole, but this description of Noah Smith's views and arguments are not consistent with what I've read. I don't see him arguing for a Grand Theories perspective of economics, and he grounds his arguments in empirical evidence and is vocal about the need to do this.

I also think you have contrived an exaggerated view, attributed it to him, and are arguing against that. I'd like to see more quotes to back up your argument because it is difficult to find it persuasive.

Doing a quick search I found an older blog post where he touches on a lot of the same points that you just did, so maybe you agree with him more than you think:

If we could get Adobe and a few other companies to port their software to Linux - even if it costs as much - then I think there would be a cascade effect that decreases the cost desktops & laptops, while increasing the quality. You wouldn't need much more than a great windows manager after a main proaudio & provideo app is ported.
I highly doubt they would be that difficult to port. Maybe +2 engineers per program per year max. And that extra bread would be more than enough to cover their salaries! It feels like were further off from ideal workstations these days, but we're not really... It's just that Apple & Microsoft have been pushing various types of "power users" away from what they've been asking for all along. Finally let some group of us move to Linux comfortably. Linux has browsers, productivity & office, music & video players, communication, utilities, and even games to some degree - covered. But we need pro-audio & pro-video areas covered!

From the report, you’d seem to be totally on point.

To ascertain the probability of making calls inside an aircraft from differentaltitudes, a reconstructed flight using a King Air 350 over the said area andduring the same time when the signal “hit” happened was carried out shortlyafter the disappearance of MH370. The flight was conducted from an altitudeof 24,000 ft with step descents every 4,000 ft until 8,000 ft. The next descentwas to 5,000 ft but at 1,000 ft interval. An expert from a Telco service providerconducted the test using three different brands of phone and relatedequipment that were carried on board the King Air 350. Test call will beautomatically answered by the server in the event of connectivity. In summary, during the tests, it was found that it was difficult to maintainsuccessful call connectivity above 8,000 ft. However, one brand of phonewas able to make a call at 20,000 ft. Only one cell phone service providerrecorded the highest call attempts using their 3G network above 8,000 ft.Two service providers could only provide connection below 8,000 ft.

Earlier in the report the altitude was estimated to be between 24,000’ and 47,000’ so no cell would have worked.

It is fascinating how cultures hang on to the past after losing their place.

The Greeks and Italians still seem to frequently do it today, finding national self-esteem in their epic histories. The Spanish a lot less so.

It prompts me to consider what separates cultures that reboot and seek a new greatness even while having a strong history (eg China), and cultures that continue to perpetually drift on a former glory (eg Greece). China of course had the 'benefit' of hitting a particular low to reboot from (Mao era), with an extraordinary amount of space above to fill-in (a billion people to put to work starting from sub $200 GDP per capita in 1980).

I just wane explain what Keynes was thinking, even while I don't agree.

For Keynes it was all about overall spending, Aggregate Demand. If overall Aggregate Demand goes down then you have recession.

Then in some cases monetary policy can not raise AD anymore because of the 'liquidity trap' (interest rate at zero).

In that case the only way to get out of the AD whole is for government to spend more money that they have either saved up, or make debt.

Meaning that government could lower taxes, build roads or even to make his point 'pay people to dig wholes and close them'.

He just tried to make the point that it had nothing to do with the productivity gain of the actual activity.

The reason why Keynes was wrong is that the 'liquidity trap' is not a real thing. Second, even if it were real, the government fiscal policy would be unable by itself to raise AD and keep it raised. Even worse, if you tried to do that you would not only end up with AD shortfall but also with high debt (see Japan).

The more accounts they frivolously close (or get closed by outrageous behavior) in the right demographics, the less likely and less severe any fine or get well plan is that is imposed for non-compliance for say an Iranian national that leaves and let's their US green card lapse.

Fair point, though the Electron rocket has 2 launches and 1 successful so I am not sure how large the market is.

The problem is you can generally stuff 2+ payloads into a single rocket which means small payloads can usually find some spare capacity on another launch at a discount. However, you can't really scale up a rocket that's not large enough.
