Wow, I just used the AllenNLP mentioned here and it is quite amazing! I took a random article from Google news which happen to be about Flynn's FBI criticism. I asked a couple question like "who is going to jail" or "who is leading the investigation" and it worked flawlessly. The article is only around 15 sentences too!

Edit: Super wow, the documentation is amazing as well (https://allennlp.org/tutorials).

I was going to teach my girlfriend snowboarding. So we go up a hill with an easy lift. Once out we strapped the board, while sitting in the snow. I got up to get started. She did not get how to do that... and for me it was so natural that i could not understand the problem...

To sum up we survived a very severe crisis in our young relationship and she ended up taking lessons from a real teacher ;-)

Ultimately, if you're going to do it, do it the way TI did.

Texas Instruments set up their headquarters next to Richardson, TX. When they realized there weren't enough engineers in the area, the TI founders started their own university so they could farm engineers to grow TI.

Ultimately, once the university got big enough, they turned it over to the state, and now the University of Texas at Dallas is the largest engineering-centric university in the southwest, and its existence is probably responsible for the Silicon Prairie and the Telecom Corridor being a thing.

Money is abstract labour. Debt is promised future labour. An individual cannot become wealthy in currency that retains meaningful value without others piling up implied debts. If you have saved money but no else has debt you can't compel anyone to work in exchange for your saved money. Debt is inherent to currency.

I'm not sure I follow you. I think the situation you describe, where we have factual (but perhaps motivated) studies on both sides of the issue is exactly what we want.

I don't think it is the job of a study like this to make that kind of subjective judgement.

That's obviously not the angle this article takes though. Obviously there is more than enough assets to cover worldwide debt and one only goes into debt to obtain something of value. The context here is debt on paper excluding assets.
> how does a world where debt monotonically increases indefinitely work?

The interest rate (and hence service payments) on such debt tends to rise. The lenders just price the possibility of distant default and demand fatter checks upfront.

> Or does it eventually go kabloie?

I am not sure all scenarios are as drastic as you describe. A bunch of countries have a privilege to issue debt in the currencies they themselves control and can inflate their way out of it.

People who have paid up a portion of their mortgage can get interested in a HELOC, provided that the interest rates are attractive, or even buy a second house / rental property once the credit situation allows them. Their growing debt is not necessarily an indication of a bad balance sheet - they have tons of collateral and just choose to use the debt mechanisms when it makes sense for them.

Distilled water certainly is the safest way but tap water mixed with salt in countries where it's safe to drink tap water in most cases should cause no harm either.

Salt works as a disinfectant when dissolved in water. When rinsing your sinuses you'll want to use saline water anyway because fresh water will hurt the mucous membranes in your nose.
Except that the report claims to be a "conservative" estimate of "deadweight loss", implying no possible benefit to the licensing whatsoever.

You shouldn't be using water from the hot tap even just for drinking or cooking, let alone putting in a neti pot. Water from a hot water tank can contain high levels of dissolved contaminants since it sits in your plumbing system for extended periods at high temperatures.

No, think about all the various services and how they're implemented. For example, for ACLs if you use an internal-facing service that itself relies on proprietary data formats, protocols, assumptions about underlying hardware, and how the API will be used (maybe there's no way to sign up users because you don't need to on a corporate network), then externalizing the ACL service itself would be a huge task in SWE-hours.

Now think about how many different internal services like that a single complex ecosystem has to touch.

Yes, it distorts the sense of smell and taste - my mother-in-law would smell an annoying floral aroma everywhere, can’t smell certain foods or she would get immediate heartburn, and couldn’t taste salt or taste it too much in certain hours of the day. It’s weird! But we tend to not take our sense of smell and taste so seriously so I think it should be very important to the brain to have a healthy sense of smell and taste or else you would get these “hallucinations” because it cannot be a real allergy.

Thought was implied but money market funds vs corporate bond funds.
A fixed or limited supply asset will hold its value against fiat currencies devaluing to some extent. Although it's likely that a scarce asset like gold/bitcoin is already artificially inflated by people who currently hold this belief.

If those people then liquidate their scarce asset in order to acquire more fiat currency after a devaluation then the market glut will devalue that scarce asset too to some extent.

The big differences between rural California and Rural Mississippi from my experience:

1. Rural California has way fewer black people.
2. Rural California is more geographically wealth-segregated. (The probability that a larger acreage and higher-owner-income rural property is adjacent to trailers is greater in Mississippi than California.)

In rural Mississippi people pretend their black neighbors don't exist unless they need "help." In rural California people just don't have black neighbors.

In general rural California is probably much more like Mississippi than you'd think.

Apparently the president of the SIPC stated that Robinhood didn't contact the SIPC before making their announcement. The SIPC president Stephen Harbeck is on record saying that "SIPC protects cash that is deposited with a brokerage firm for one limited purpose... the purpose of purchasing securities. Cash deposited for other reasons would not be protected. SIPC does not protect checking and savings accounts since the money has not been deposited for a protected purpose."

He later stated that the SEC would need to take the lead on clarifying the matter though.

I have a one-year emergency fund with Robinhood that is invested in index funds (secondary emergency fund as the primary emergency fund is in cash). I think I'll keep my primary emergency fund in the PNC high yield savings account for now until all that gets worked out.

It is a nice theory, but there is a problem. The problem is that in the event of collapse, only SOME can reasonably be supported this way. And how to keep the unlucky masses from tearing down the means of survival for the lucky few?

Skaters are also obsessed with archival of magazines and video parts, leading to some nerdy discussions of 30 year old events that the mainstream would consider trivial.

They wouldn't and maybe it's a bad idea to enter debt that last more than 50 years. It pretty much means to borrow money that the next generation has to pay off.
lol, you invest a few grand one year up front but it smoothes out over the coming seasons to roughly one grand on average because you keep your gear and don't have to invest in new stuff every season.

Also that's not the super frugal version of this. If you really wanted to, you could just buy all of your stuff on Craigslist. I've done that with some of my stuff, and you can get a huge discount.

You wouldn't believe the kind of people who buy gear, ride like two days, and then sell it a few years later. The market is glutted with this kind of stuff.
How does this argument apply to European countries that had no colonies, such as Switzerland?

Japan is a bit of an aberration. It was the only non-western country to industrialize early.

Now, India might have done so also, had it somehow avoided industrialization yet maintained contact with industrializing countries. But, a counterpoint to this is that India basically didn't industrialize after independence either. Only when the "License Raj" was done away with several decades later did India start to grow quickly. (In other words, mere absensce of colonization was not sufficient for growth)
> 1) Personal debt, like I took out a car loan and I can get the car repossessed or the loan sold to debt collectors. 2) Debt that exists just to create more money i.e. the IMF or Fed Reserve decide to have an expansionary monetary policy and they lend from... what exactly?

As far as I know, these two are the same.

In a fractional reserve banking system, when you borrow money from the bank for a car or a house, that money is then created from nothing. They just punch in the number in your account, and there you have it.

At the end of the day, the bank has to have a certain reserve, which is held in the banks account in the central bank. The central bank doesn't usually create the money itself, it lets the banks to it for them, as long as they stick within the limits.

I could be very wrong here. Not an expert. This is my laymans understanding.

This is why it's not really worrying on its own that there's a large amount of debt per person. Debt is how money is created in our system. As other countries get wealthier, you expect them to have more debt. Put another way: if you're living outside civilisation, you're not gonna get a loan for anything. But as soon as you live in a modern city with some steady income, you can borrow several times the amount you make a year, and that's generally OK as long as you expect to make that money back some time during your lifetime.
I've seen it in various economics articles/readings on the topic regarding the governments long term economic strategy. (see article below I found)

You are also right - yes one of the biggest complains IS that many Chinese businesses are "owned" by the government with lots of influence there. However, the big resistive force here preventing this further breakup is that they are such huge employers, and it is not politically easy to reduce and remove so many people from the payrolls. So it has been a slow process.

I like your list of ideas, but I just want to bring up one point:

Sometimes the only way to get an insight to the thought processes of the busy & insightful people of the world is through something like twitter, because they don't have time for anything else. Certain subcultures of twitter can be fairly positive despite the lack of moderation tools because the community is small and not a current political hot potato.

That is something I wouldn't want to lose.
>I think many think articles like this intentionally make the numbers seem as scary as possible. Negative currency (debt) is a good thing for most people. It is what enables people to buy cars and houses or go to college.

For every debt there is someone holding it as a credit. Unless the lizard men space alien conspiracy is correct and they will come down with their space weapons to enslave us if we don't pay, this is just digits in a computer and can disappear in a wink of and eye (or revolution).

As for the currency idea, that is already how dollars are created. A bank loans out money it owes other people and creates new money.
As someone coming from Poland, a country that’s pretty much 100% white and Polish, I don’t feel that the lack of “diversity” has negatively impacted my development.

A few decades ago, I remember it being quite common for packages to be left with a neighbor. Now it's pretty rare.

I'm not sure what changed. Perhaps people decided they prefer not to involve a third party. Or perhaps couriers just don't think it's economical to spend the time to knock one door and then another and then maybe another if the neighbor isn't home either.
