This is the second time you've linked to something without having read it (or understood it) first. And your own link disputes your point:

> The Boeing 737 NG series are fitted with pitot probes mounted on the left and right of the fuselage just aft of the radome. The aircraft are also fitted with an auxiliary probe on the right side of the forward fuselage and two ‘elevator pitot probes’ on the fin.

The triple redundant system initiated a "IAS and ALT disagree master caution." Which is exactly what a safety critical sensor is meant to do.

As an aside I'm done conversing with you on this topic. You keep on saying incorrect things, link to bad citations that don't support your previous statements, and when that fails moving the goalposts to something else entirely. It isn't a good faith way to have a discussion.

Keep in mind half a dozen posts ago you claimed no aircraft used triple redundancy or voting logic (which the 737 does, as I've shown and your own citation shows). Now your argument has shifted to some kind of pedantic one about which exact systems consume what data or similar.
PewDiePie's community is toxic and gross and represents everything that is wrong with the internet and gaming culture.

A fear of mine is that MMT gains enough traction to be implemented, but only partially. Similar to what has happened with the ACA. For argument's sake, let's just assume MMT is a sound theory. Regardless, if it's only half-implemented -- without all components for regulating taxes, inflation, and spending -- it could be an absolute disaster.

Additionally, there are concerns about having the government itself involved with regulating inflation and business cycles. An independent Fed, at least in theory, allows for the fed to take a longer view of the economy even if politicians have incentives to care only about the next election cycle. All it would take is one conservative majority congress to semi-dismantle any MMT mechanism and completely mess up any "controls" put in place by MMT proponents.

That being said, it is refreshing to have different ideas being taken seriously enough to enough mainstream conversation. I don't think the field of economics is "solved" (probably far from it) so I think good ideas that challenge the status quo are generally good.
That was refreshingly NOT a hatchet job article on MMT...meaning it didn't wildly misrepresent MMT.
Well, it beats Python, given that most well known implementations do have JIT compilers.
> I have a different network level ad blocker and love it.

If you don’t mind sharing, what is it?
Pihole is so good, but if you’ve chosen something you see as better, I’m all ears.
> MMT says that the only constraint on spending is inflation, but also turns around and says that you can always print more money. That’s a contradiction.

The article follows that up by saying:

>> As long as there are enough workers and equipment to meet growing demand without igniting inflation, the government can spend what it needs to maintain employment

and later on:

>> To stabilize employment, MMT would add a federally funded, locally administered job guarantee. Government would employ more people in slumps than in booms.

So I think the idea is that MMT recognizes that inflation would indeed occur if you kept printing money without a demand for that money, which they say will be supplied by government-sponsored full employment.

What I don't understand is: is there a situation in which full employment has already been achieved and the government just keeps printing money for new initiatives, and we're back to inflation?

Unless you are one of the founders or investors, there is little reason to rejoice in the current valuations of American tech companies. It has little to do with innovation and a lot to do with extremely lax regulation. What the world needs from tech is not just better AI or drones. The world needs tech to be regulated, and Europe, not the US, is currently providing more regulatory innovations:

- how do we curb the emergence of giant tech corporations with finances the size of nation states that literally threatens democracies through lobbying and fake news? The US was there a hundred years ago with antitrust regulation but it seems like the US is not enforcing antitrust law anymore

- how do we make those giant tech corporations pay fair share of tax? Again, the US used to tax it's corporations, but when it comes to tech, the US seems content with letting them hide their income in foreign tax shelters

- how do we protect content creators like journalists from the giant tech corporations' completely free consumption of their work?

- how do we regulate the so called "sharing economy" so that highly regulated industries such as hotels and taxis are not met with unfair competition by companies who's main innovation seems to be that they don't follow rules?

- how do we secure the privacy of citizens?
> Fitting a line to a log-(log-square-root) graph using linear regression sounds awfully fishy to me. Would anyone with a better grasp of the statistics care to chime in?

It's fishy, but depressingly common in Economics. There's an old joke that 'everything on a log-log plot is linear when drawn with a fat magic marker'.

The errors at the top-right of the chart are much larger than the errors on the bottom left: they just don't look that way because of the log scale. They're also systematically biased at the top-left.

If you want to run OLS on a timeseries, you need ergodicity (i.e. the time series forgets its own history) for the regression to be valid. The number of observations also needs to be across a time much larger than the relaxation time of the timeseries. I don't see that here.

The entire thing triggers my spider sense for cranks. It's written in word and uses excel for its plots, the author runs some sort of crypto fund, and the fact that it uses 'square root of time' as a regressor is just bizzarre.
The big problem of a service having your true password (instead of the hash of the password) is that many users use the same password for a multitude of services (read Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Amazon, ...)

Inflation is MV = PQ... you are commenting only on the M which is money supply. You have to factor in the other variables, notably V or the rate of spending. If V remains low, then M can increase without significant inflation.

Don't get me wrong. The system as designed is completely reprehensible and most likely initiated a chain of events which lead to the dealths of more than 300 people.

However, the point I started with is displaying the AoA in the cockpit is unlikely to have helped any of that. It's not really a safety feature except in quite specific scenarios (where the pilot is trying to extract maximum performance from an aircraft).

The other point I was making is that it's unlikely that they'll fit an extra sensor or cross connect the inputs. There are few systems which receive data from both pilots and co-pilots sources.

Pretty much nothing to do with the actual guy; he's become something of a symbol in certain circles of the internet as something to fight for - people who are seeking something to do with their lives.

The guy himself was a gaming youtuber but nowadays mostly makes relatively simple comedy videos reviewing memes. He's hosted people such as elon musk on his show, and really isn't all that controversial or bad himself. He's the most subscribed youtuber at the time of writing, and a long drawn-out campaign by several people has been made to keep him there, mostly without his guidance or really, much of his participation. Mostly because he has become something of a figurehead for the time where the internet was based around individuals sharing things - this happened because the next highest channel who will inevitably pass him at some point are a large corporation.

As a result, many twenty-somethings who grew up on an internet of blogging and viral videos made by random people like them are having a sort of kickback against what they see as the growing influence of corporations on the internet's culture.

Naturally, there is nothing that is against manufactured pop culture taking over the internet than places like 4chan with their rhetoric about 'normies' and 'npcs', and they already have a sort of apocalyptic outlook on the world and culture of anything goes, it breeds certain kinds of people like this.

Now pewdiepie himself has done things that haven't helped his cause, but it's difficult to spin this situation and say it's his doing.

> It’s immediately obvious that increasing the money supply and spending the money will result in inflation.

I think the MMT argument is that one can reduce the money supply through taxation. From the article:

> In MMT’s ideal world there would still be taxes, but their main purpose, aside from lessening inequality, would be as “offsets” to keep inflation under control. Taxes would drain just enough money from consumers and businesses so total spending in the economy won’t be excessive.

So currently Left-leaning people are labeled "tax and spend": you increase revenues, which you then turn around and spend on programs/infrastructure. With MMT it's the opposite (AFAICT): "spend and tax". Run the proverbial printing presses to pay for the programs, and then use (higher?) taxes to drain the 'excess' money supply.

MMT also (AFAICT) seems to make the central bank subservient to the finance/treasury people, instead of independent (which is the modern way of doing things). This control of interest rates is important for technical reasons:

5G deployments have already started rolling out. 5G has average latency in the range of 1-2ms. Google controls a huge swath of the backbone after that. They can realistically achieve < 5ms latency on 5G devices in the next 1-2 years.

IMO, a more valid argument against its success would be that any consumer who is in a position to ensure they have fast enough internet for this service, is also in a position to buy a gaming console. But the counterargument to that is that there is no reason someone cannot have a gaming console and also use Stadia.

I'm normally very skeptical of Google's motivations, respectful of their cloud technology, and doubtful about many of their products. But I think this one will be a success, and shortly followed by competing products from Amazon and Microsoft.
Web Search Has Changed Reading
Pewdiepie has become clickbait. Articles written about him are typically very poor quality and poorly researched, nor do they take into account the fact he has 80+ million subscribers. That is a LOT of subscribers and if you go looking for bad behavior, you're going to find it.

It's ridiculous I have to say it, but Pewdiepie is no more responsible for terrorism or white nationalism than Doom was for Columbine. In fact I'd say he's less culpable. We've been through this before with videogames, now we're going through it with memes. The older generation always thinks the younger generation is up to no good and their form of entertainment is "corrupting" them. Before videogames it was movies, and before that it was "rock and roll". And so on.

Two reasons:

1. The top companies have finally managed to learn that outsourcing of your product to overseas companies drives the quality of the product into the ground. When you separate your project stakeholders and subject matter experts from your UX and development teams, shit falls to pieces in a hurry.

2. U.S. Tech companies don't give a shit about driving up global salaries, they give a shit about their own success and profits - right now. They already have a team fueling their success and they'd like to keep them close.

Or it's a late-ish reaction to the drama[0] surrounding Unity's "sudden" blocking of Improbable's SpatialOS cloud platform (if you believe Improbable - Unity said they were warned months in advance, Improbable said it was without warning). Then, within a couple days, Unity made an announcement[1] for their own paid cloud gaming plugin. It was all over HackerNews[2] in January when it happened with lots of commenters quipping that it's time to move to Unreal or GoDot Engine. During these days of back-and-forth drama between Improbable and Unity, Tim Sweeney from Unreal Games jumped into the fray and was tweeting his constant disapproval (and further muddying the waters with inaccurate information), at the end of which "Epic Games and Improbable announced the establishment of a US $25m fund to help concerned Unity customers shift their games over to Epic's Unreal Engine."

I'm still waiting to hear how they plan to fund devs but after following Tim Sweeney's recent behavior (i.e. the tweets above, plus paying Coffee Stain Studios to move their upcoming and popular (at least on Reddit) game "Satisfactory" off of Steam and do an exclusivity deal with Epic Games Store, which has caused nothing but bad press on Reddit), I would expect this fund will be nothing more than vouchers to use the paid-version of Unreal Engine for a limited time period, after which you will hopefully be reliant and forced to continue payment. Only time will tell I suppose. And competition is always a good thing.

Your last point is a great one and reflects the economic literature on the subject in that inflation is effectively a tax on money holdings.
Maybe the same as that between football hooligans and actual footballers? No real link, just a Schelling point for dumbassery.
Actually, printing money doesn't necessarily cause inflation because there are two sides to the equation.

If you have more money chasing the same amount of goods you get inflation. Yes. But if supply is currently in excess, or if production is well below production capacity, then inflation is much less likely. I'd argue that in today's international economy, there is actually a huge excess of supply capacity that is under utilized.
