One thing I noticed (and I've worked with several companies to make them compliant) is that many non-tech companies finally see data as something to pay attention to. GDPR forces them to know what data they collect and store, enabling other initiatives. Those can be to finally improve data quality (as you'd otherwise have to expose invalid data to clients), better customer service (self-service) and data analytics.

I'd say, for the companies I've met the cost they had with GDPR had a pretty good ROI even if there was no enforcement of GDPR. Not all companies see it that way, though.

You’re confusing stocks (such as the stock of debt) and flows (including payments), a common mistake. Every expenditure is another person’s income. Money is spent multiple times around the economy, and some agencies try to measure how quickly it happens, which is what the velocity of money is, and the concept of the fiscal multiplier comes into this.

If the economy is growing, it is true that continual money creation is required to stop deflation, but a lot of people don’t realise to what extent because it isn’t commonly known that not only can the Government create money, but that in fact all bank lending does and is expansionary [1].

The interest payment is partially because of the risk in the first place. Collateral if any is the only guarantee to the lender. They are taking the risk of losing it all or using a complicated yet sensible metainsurance plan at the cost of direct profit.

If hypothetically we could see the future perfectly the financial market would start to look downright weird as predestined to fail loans would always be rejected but approved loans would go low margin from competition.

I wonder, were there ever a neutral state-owned news media in US that provided sensible news without much of the agitating fear-mongering that seems so prevalent? In many EU countries, Finland for example, there is a state-owned media organization (YLE) which main purpose is to provide unbiased and high-quality news reporting to all Finnish citizens.

It's not without its faults, but in general you can expect YLE to provide quality content that wouldn't be possible if its monetary value was the only concern. Also I like that there's no ads in YLEs programs. And you can watch most of them free on internet.

It depends on your needs. You may recoup the perceived investment losses via tax savings or other factors.

Also, when you get into aging family members and generational wealth issues, you want to have controls to reduce your immediate control. Decades of accumulated returns can be wiped out by a bad decision.

If I had billions to worry about, I’d want to make sure I had assets that were more diversified than what Vanguard offers.
The problem is that more and more issues are global. No single country can fix the effects of climate change on their territory, you need to cooperate on a global scale to do that.

Same e.g. for combatting tax evasion. Many other areas do not strictly require transnational collaboration, but it's immensely helpful. For example, the power network in Europe is incredibly resilient because it is shared across dozens of countries. So every individual failure is rather small, even if it takes a large nuclear power plant offline.
Hmpf, considering that the author spent a whole day with Knuth there is disappointingly little interviewing going on. Other people (e.g. Norvig) are quoted more extensively.

>You sill would need $105k at the end of the year to satisfy all debts and have an equilibrium withing the economy. Where is the extra $5K coming from? Magic??

this makes very little sense. You are not lending the entire economy and then demanding more than the economy be paid back. You only lend a portion of the money supply so that a slightly larger portion is repaid.

Even if that were the case, isnt that what QE does?
Ok, thanks for answering. I guess what I'm really looking for are some practical use cases that can serve as an example, otherwise it will never cross my mind to use logic programming when I need to decide on technologies.

Over the past decade, companies have taken advantage of low rates both to grow their businesses and reward shareholders.

Total corporate debt has swelled from nearly $4.9 trillion in 2007 as the Great Recession was just starting to break out to nearly $9.1 trillion halfway through 2018, quietly surging 86 percent, according to Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association data. Other than a few hiccups and some fairly substantial turbulence in the energy sector in late-2015 and 2016, the market has performed well.

"Reward shareholders" is code for stock buybacks - the practice of a company using ultra-low interest financing to buy its own stock on margin. It's an unsustainable way to manipulate the price/earnings ratio, and thereby make a company look like a better buy than it is.

Buybacks in turn have been a major source of funding for the stock market's unprecedented run:

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4156578-buyback-bubble-will...

I suspect those looking for a soft landing here haven't considered the reversible nature of this debt-fueled stock market rally. Nor have they considered the amplifying effect of debt on the upside and downside.

Sorry, I strongly disagree. Random data with a few static arguments is an incredibly great way to test. Adding in some chaos finds bugs. "why did that test fail after 100 times...ohhhh"

I try to only use random data when possible, less and smaller tests to write with a proper setup. End result: more bugs found.

Random data is a great method of testing.
> I think the real skill involved is Visual Thinking. Good old fashioned pencil and paper flow state ideation. If there is one practice I wish I had spent more time acquiring it would definitely be illustration / drafting ;)

You hear a lot about design in corporate discourse these days. Visual art tools like mind mapping, whiteboard animation, and even storyboards are getting prime time in the context of business.

This is partly legitimate. Sketching is one of the best ways to understand complex concepts and come up with new ideas. Both are valuable skills. But organizations also love to boast about how much design-oriented they are. Talking about "design thinking" or "mindful design" and so forth doesn't mean anything changed. Fads come and go.

Today techniques like boards, graphs and sketches are making a comeback within companies. How much is hype versus how much is due to people unwilling to focus for a long time on something? Visual concepts tend to get the point across fast. It's great as long as it is not to the detriment of in-depth analysis.

As an illustrator/designer, companies saw you as a disposable executant who made things pretty. That is, versus a writer who was more on the conceptual side of things and understood the overarching strategy. Not sure the designers gained any more respect in the process but that is another story. It will change again.
According to the chicken-littles, the Fed can't raise interest rates or supposedly the bond market will collapse and then supposedly the stock market will tank because corporations have over-extended themselves based on complacency about cheap money/QE making non-capital asset investments rather than capital investment business expansion.

That's a really nice selection, you have great taste. I'd be interested to know whether you own any other books that you'd also recommend.
I think it's far from settled that books are better than apps. I read a ton of books when I was a kid, as I got older I spent less time with them. I consider quality video content to be better than books at conveying information.

I personally could have probably muddled through learning how to meditate with a book, if I'd had the inclination. I'm not so sure most people can. All people unfortunately aren't created equally.

All the people I talk to who don't seem to be getting much out of meditation, I'm not so sure any book could have helped them, while I'm pretty darn sure that if they were sitting in front of me allowing me to guide them once a week, they'd get the trick within a month or so.
Think of a restaurant that needs a new fryer because the one they had broke down. Wihout that new fryer , they will lose their business and livelihood. Debt allows them to make a risk calculation : they will take on an additonal overhead of deb servicing and in return they will keep their business.

Now think of a dentist who wants to open her own practice. Her savings may not cover the cost of buying equipment that is needed. An asset backed loan may be a better opion for her. Of course, there is a risk involved -- she may not generate enough revenues to cover the cost of servicing the debt or her other liabilities. Typically she would consult with her accountant before starting on this journey.

I would argue thay contractual obligations and regularity and severity with which they are enforced are a sobering influence on businesses. There are no contacts with universe needed for debt -- but there is an element of risk that needs to be accounted for.

The extra $5K come from the same place the initial $100k came.
Depends on the drug. Many drop off after marketing is cutback.

It’s a question of how many similar drugs are out there.
To stay in your simplified universe, consider just two entities, A and B. A has all $100K, B has $0.

- A loans $100K to B at 10%.

- B buys raw materials from A for $100K and creates products X and Y.

- A buys product X from B for $60K.

- B returns $60K to A.

- A buys product Y from B for $60K.

- B returns $50K to B.

A ends up with $90K and product X and Y. B ends up with $10K. At no step was money created out of thin air. Total supply still $100K.

You could simplify it some more by allowing B to pay back A using product X and Y instead of moving $60K around back and forth.
I mean, if you consider the adblocking, tracker blocking, etc, then it's faster than Chrome, and may have been even before the switch (citation needed on that though). That stuff takes a long time to load, even on Chromium.

So the idea is that they've always been loading fewer things (so it's faster in that aspect), but now the speed of loading the same content is better.
You can use standard constraint solvers for these kinds of problems. Although, you can use minikanren in such an application, you are missing out on a lot of its power if you do that.

An example where such systems shine is program generation, theorem proving, knowledge databases, program verification and other applications where the search space is huge but the rules are relatively simple.
In my opinion, having taken 2 design thinking courses for my Masters in Product Design:

"Design Thinking" = Bullshit

"Design" + "Thinking" = Designing using modern techniques and practices.

You are better off paying attention to the specific techniques and practices than paying attention to the overall philosophy of "Design Thinking". Some of these techniques are very high leverage.

- Learning how to do proper user interviews is really powerful and a very hard skill to master

- Multidisciplinary groups for design sessions are very effective

- Creating a positive, playful, open environment boosts creativity

- Iteratively converging and diverging on the problem leads to non-trivial solutions

>The standard story is that salaries have remained flat. I've seen some people claim to the contrary (e.g. Russ Roberts) but I think that's too complicated for a non-economist like me to get at the truth, so I'll just stick to the general consensus here.

No need to bring up this side note if you're not going to use it as an argument or back it up then

>And in this specific case, again, it's totally in the interest of the people who have money, to give less of it to executives.

As another poster stated elsewhere in this thread, the observed behavior of boards and executives negotiating has not been of two independent parties. The executives are now not only socially connected but have a direct incentive to constantly increase pay for their friends, so that their friends return the favor. This is not using the shareholders money well, but just quid pro quo favors that fuck everyone outside of this in group[1]. Capitalism doesn't just work unregulated because parties quickly acquire power and then subvert the rules of capitalism to funnel even more power to themselves. We are directly observing executives of modern corporations doing this via their web of board seats and increasing each other's pay ad infinitum at the expense of shareholders, employees, and society

oh look, another fear-mongering firefox ad masquerading as an article that actually warrants reading.

no thanks, I'll pass.

edit: I'll add that I am pretty tired of reading these "Microsoft Edge is dead, long live Firefox" articles like this, where they start with a title that sounds like it is worth reading and in the end it boils down to "Pleeeeeease use Firefox, its betterrrrrr, pleeeeeease!." They are opinion pieces and provide NOTHING of substance or value other than pandering to the current base of firefox users. They won't convince me to switch, and probably never will (in fact, they make me dislike firefox even more than I already do).

Exactly. I found serverless paradigm is particularly hard to implement stateful patterns. Even if there are some component could do that, most of them are tricky.

One thing serverless architecture look like is a little bit of Erlang/BEAM. You can
1. Call a function to spawn a process. The function itself would be executed in that new process.
2. The process can hold a state and iterate in a recursive manner.
3. The process can expect a message, or send another process a message.
And that's the minimalist way to build up something called Actor.

With Actor and bi-directional protocols like WebSocket, you can achieve amazing dynamic stuff easily.

Serverless, on the other hand, is mentally very similar to that paradigm. However, without the long-running process, single-direction messaging etc.

There should be a huge potential lies ahead. All we need is a cloud operating system like Erlang/BEAM but a much bigger one at planet scale.
Other people, preferably without skin conditions. I used the traditional approach. It's anecdotal, but I've noticed a correlation over the years.

There's one worrying trend where companies on the edge of the investment-grade universe lose their standing and turn into high-yield or junk, sending rates — and defaults — significantly higher. And there's a more positive case where the U.S. continues to outperform the rest of the world and corporate debt problems are limited to overseas and specific companies that aren't systemically important.

My money is literally on the optimistic outcome. Just check old headless from 2009-2017 of all the failed predictions of crisis. Odds are nothing will happen. Profit margins for multinationals are at historic highs. Bondholders of investment-grade debt should have little to fear. Junk debt however is riskier obviously and would avoid it.
How do you guys think the money supply works?

I mean have never even thought about it?

>What happens when there are new entrants to your economy?

Nothing.

>Are they all forced to split the 100k?

No, if the new entrant can provide value then someone that already has some that $100K can give it to them for a good or service.

>If not, where does new money come from? Magic?

Comes from the Federal Reserve, when they decided to increase the money supply. The problem is you are on a never ending treadmill that is designed to have bubbles and failures, not that new money has to sometimes be created.
Maybe the perception has less to do with the paper or Berkeley that than a possible bias against Software Engineering research.

I’ve always perceived it, maybe unfairly, as one of the least rigorous topics in Computer Science, and more removed from more foundational insights that can have eventually have more important, broader impact or increase fundamental understanding that enables advances in other areas.

If any of the conjecture is true, it wouldn’t be a criticism of any researcher in this area or their capabilities.

Maybe it’s just a matter of maturity. How rigorous can I expect theory to be when th top software companies in the word still have trouble estiming delivery and complexity of software implementations?

We may just not know enough yet.
