Retailers buy from vendors and assume the costs of their own business (warehousing, sales, etc.). They assume certain responsibilities regarding the products they sell in their stores. In this case, Amazon is pushing all the costs back on to the vendor, for whom they only provide some distribution service.

In practice it does increase market cap because constantly buying back shares increases PE multiple growth which then makes the stock then sell at a higher valuations since they are showing (artificial) growth. The long term stability of those buybacks isn’t taken into account with valuation models.

Every new dollar put into index funds gets invested proportionally in each company to the market cap of SP 500. Microsoft gets bid nearly 4.5c on every dollar. The top 10 stocks combined get 25c on every dollar.
> The Fed does not have the tools at its disposal that it did in 2008, they have been exhausted.

That hasn't been exhausted even in the slightest.

The Fed has the exact same tool at its disposal as it did in 2008: it controls the global reserve currency and can run an annual trillion dollar QE program for years as necessary, forcing the rest of the world to partially foot the bill of that QE program to the benefit of the US economy.

The Fed took rates to zero for seven years and utilized multiple QE rounds to reinflate the economy and asset prices. The same exact approach is at its disposal heading into the next recession.
Both proof and explanation seem to be important. Two experiences with explanation made a particular impression on me.

First I found it hard to get much out of a Real Analysis course when I was a grad student. Only partly because of lack of explanations, admittedly. Probably even more of a problem was another kind of cultural mismatch between physical scientist me and the math prof that taught the course. My interest was mostly that I was actually doing path integral Monte Carlo calculations (for my Chemistry thesis) and wanted to make sure I understood the fundamentals. The prof, like many (most?) mathematicians seemed to be more interested in investigating ingeniously weird boundary cases. So the course didn't seem to teach me much about the gotchas that might come up in actual statistics or numerical analysis, and instead more about the ingenuity of mathematicians in constructing absurdly farfetched abuses of e.g. the axiom of choice. But besides that cultural mismatch, lack of an explanatory framework sure didn't help. Thus, I was very happy decades later when I ran across Terence Tao's book on measure theory (available as a free manuscript online), which had a lot of the same kind of material with quite a good framework of motivation and explanation wrapped around its proofs.

I also like Vapnik's _The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory_ which as I understand it is highly parallel to a much longer proof-heavy version of most of the same material. I much preferred this book to the approach in my undergraduate course in statistics. Again, the difference wasn't only lack of explanations (also, e.g., not enough enough grounding in proof or plausibly provable propositions, and too narrowly based in a frequentist worldview assumed without any explicit justification), but the lack of explanatory framework sure didn't help, so later I welcomed Vapnik's explanations of his approach. I have never been motivated to read the proof-heavy parallel book by Vapnik, but I do find it reassuring that it exists in case I ever work with problems that were weird enough to start raising red flags about breaking the comfortable assumptions in my informal understanding of the statistics.
> Nor are we necessarily talking about the customized encryption used by large business enterprises to protect their operations. We are talking about consumer products and services such as messaging, smart phones, e-mail, and voice and data applications.

This very American attitude of separating "business enterprises" from "consumers", which to me sounds like separating the noble and important from peasants or cattle, is utterly sickening. I am not a "consumer", I am a person and I deserve and demand more privacy and freedom than a corporation.

We are not consumers, we are people.
Do you listen to reggae or dancehall? I have friends who are reggae DJs and joined them for an event in Yokohama years ago.....12 hours and 2 nightclubs later I was sick of reggae lol.....it's just too chaotic for me. I love EDM because I feel I can settle into a "groove" and coast along with the music indefinitely, like riding a wind. But reggae is the total opposite, constantly changing.

You might wanna check it out if you like wild, unpredictable music.
There are many stories of how Feynman did fairly profound work in an offhand way. Two that I can remember:

1. A number of times, young professors would visit with him when they were in town to give a lecture, and would discuss a recent result they had come up with, and Feynman would say that reminded him of something, pull out a sheet of paper from his drawer, and say effectively, "yes, looks like your result is correct".

2. A more specific version of that was captured in the link below, when Feynman worked out blackhole radiation on a blackboard with some grad students over lunch. The blackboard was erased and the result lost until Hawking published the same result a year later, propelling him to fame (deserved, of course). http://nautil.us/blog/the-day-feynman-worked-out-black_hole-...

He was a gifted theoretician with an ability to see how/why things worked and had the mathematical ability to express that understanding rigorously.
Awesome! I failed to notice the year of the article. Well done for following through.
Did Google ever see itself as prioritizing publishers and consumers equally? I think that’s a false premise and the parent is right; Google’s priority has always been consumer first.
Frankly, with the market we’ve had the last 10 years practically anyone can beat the market as long as they invest in decent tech stocks. That’s why there’s so many millionaires running around here these days.
> I'd just like to point out that the yield curve inverted in 2018 [1] yet here we are.

My understanding is that this inversion (the 2 year/10 year) is generally regarded as the most reliable indicator of recession. The media has really latched onto the yield curve this time around though, so any inversions have been getting reported as the indicator that a recession will start soon, which isn't really right.

For example, the article you linked from December 2018 was about 3 year and 5 year yields inverting, which tends to happen about 2.5-3 years ahead of a recession. Then the 3 month/10 year spread inverted at the end of May 2019, which tends to predate recession by about 12-18 months. Now the 2 year 10 year is inverted, which tends to happen about 18-24 months before a recession.

So what's happening is a pretty good indication that a recession is likely to occur closer and closer to the present, with each inversion providing another data point about the timeframe. It's just that the media's overhyping of every individual inversion is giving you the sense that these inversions don't tell us anything particularly interesting, when history shows the opposite to be true.
For you, not me. I don't really care what these women have to do to prepare for pregnancy.

but here's the secret. I also didn't call you immature, or a bigot for being interested in things that I am not.

However, this is the second time now that someone has denigrated another person for having different interests, calling it philosophical masturbation.

Which tells me that while I may not be as interested in seeking out conversations about people's children, I probably get along with more people than you do (ironically enough...) because I'm more accepting of the differences between other people and myself.

Or who knows, maybe it takes immaturity to avoid denigrating others for their interests.

I feel like the smart thing for Verizon to do is to sell it to Automattic but maintain some equity.

Does anyone know if they did that?

They're smart enough to do know that they won't be able to develop it under their own management. But having some presumably better managers develop it and maintaining a stake is probably more profitable than simply selling it off to the highest bidder. And definitely more profitable than selling it "for parts", or closing it down.
I feel the core audience and aesthetic of tumblr, in its prime, was a beautiful thing. There's a chance to recapture that essence. Twitter, Medium, and Instagram are watered down commercialized pos. Not saying Tumblr will be better than that, but they have an opportunity to do so. There is still a nostalgia in people's mind about Tumblr.
You're taking a piece of technology that allows you to communicate with civilization while in a remote area. These bunkers are designed to protect and isolate their inhabitants from the outside world altogether. Your example doesn't seem analogous at all to the point I'm trying to make.

The idea that wealthy and powerful can just jettison themselves from the society they led in the event that things go downhill says a lot about what they actually think about our society.

This is a prescriptive vs descriptive language debate. I'm personally a staunch descriptivist.

Fact is that in common usage the word "introvert" primarily means "shy".

To me, fighting to change the definition of words, is among the least productive of all things.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/introvert
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/intro...

> And, to be frank, people who insist on labeling an acquaintance as introvert(2) are not exactly engaging in non-jerk behavior either. In fact, it's that very thing that leads young introverted people to self-describe as "shy" and then do their unconscious best to fulfill that description, to their detriment.

This seems a very unlikely chain of events!
Cute. Proves my point--people are so offended at the implication they don't care, and yet caring is cheap, so it's the only thing they offer. I guess, thank god someone else will also remember how nice things were, but excuse me if I won't indulge in this lifestyle politics.

Among Tumblr users, the basic incompetence of @staff in constructing a functional website is legendary. I would not be surprised if the backend were far worse than you're supposing.

The funny thing is, the incompetence of @staff is the value proposition for Tumblr, as a user - because Tumblr's backend is a rickety tower of matchsticks and paste and the devs couldn't program themselves out of a wet paper bag, it means that they haven't been able to implement - for instance - algorithmic non-chronological timeline ordering, or competent data harvesting / robomarketing. And the comically broken search tools actually give a reasonable approximation of privacy for discussions. The user experience is firmly stuck in the mid-2000s, when social sites were for communities and discussions instead of data farming.

Don't get me wrong, Tumblr's user experience is also awful - search sucks, tags suck, moderation EXTRA sucks, the website's still overrun by pornographic spambots even after the Great Titty Purge - but any development team competent enough to make real improvements would also be one competent enough to squeeze out what makes Tumblr work.
My only real interaction with WordPress was when I purchased, and then promptly cancelled, a premium subscription. But the process was so unexpectedly easy and the employee was so unexpectedly nice and helpful. She really bent over backwards to help me even though I was leaving.

It might be silly, but that one interaction coupled with Matt's consistently well spoken/written/thought out public comments lead me to believe he & his company are pretty trustworthy. (The fun little smiley faces & haikus they hide all over the site don't hurt either.)

I hope they got a great deal on Tumblr. It's a really special site and I don't think there are many companies that would have the resources and the motivation to build it back up again. It seems Automattic has both.

This is a side question to your points—and completely hypothetical for my own curiosity:

In this case would a guard leaning into the cell, watching and listening to the revival or treatment attempts by EMT personnel and leaking that information approach these laws in anyway?

For instance if Epstein was living and being treated but on the verge of death and the EMT staff didn't make any attempts to prevent spectators who proceeded to leak the information—

who would be at fault in such a case? Or does that also fall outside of HIPAA in the US?
I'm sorta surprised that I've not yet seen someone focusing on van-dwelling, digital nomad types that are living in RVs and converted vans full time.

I have used Regus on and off in the US for a decade. I also have a free WeWork subscription through my AMEX platinum (boosting numbers pre-IPO?).

Regus is actually better run and more comfortable...just doesn't have the millenial loft vibe. I think that vibe is costing them too much for a real estate play!
To me it is plausible that Classical Chinese is unique among written languages - not necessarily in its foreignness, but just sufficiently different to necessitate the article.

Two points as examples:

1. Chinese has very few distinct syllables compared to other languages, even including tones. Thus, many words in speech are multisyllabic to allow for disambiguation.

However, in the written language, the character disambiguates sufficiently that only the major part of a word needs to be written.

So, while in most languages a written text can be read out aloud and understood (and many people are not even aware that spoken and written language are substantially different), in Chinese

> the written language often cannot be understood when read aloud unless the listeners are already familiar with the passage and what this means in turn is that the written language should probably not be seen as a transcription of speech (Graham 1987: 390; DeFrancis 1984: 126)

2. Chinese does not feature conjugation or much punctuation, and often leaves out verbs completely. See for example the famous poem about Moon and homesickness by Li Bai [1], the first and last lines are

床前明月光
bed before bright moon light

低頭思故鄉
Lower head think home

English (or most Indo-European languages) rarely drop the verb, and if the translator puts it there, they have to choose a specific conjugated form (ie person, number, tense, voice, mood...), thus necessarily interpreting.

For example, the lines quoted are translated as "I wake, and moonbeams play around my bed" or "In front of my bed is the bright moonlight"; "Then I lower my head, thinking of my hometown", or "Then lay me down — and thoughts of home arise."

These are all somewhat different, but ok, it's a poem and should primarily convey some emotion.

But now imagine this sort of ambiguity in a philosophical discussion.

Bottom line: there is continuum of how easy and unambiguous a text is to interpret (and/or translate), and while Biblical Hebrew might well be towards the complicated end, I think it's reasonable to argue that Classical Chinese is even further that way.

Why is it not sustainable that household wealth is > 500% of GDP?

In the parlance of company finances, GDP is like revenue and wealth is the valuation representing the present value of all future profits. So, it seems fine to me that the present value of future profits of the US is 5x the current revenue.

I'm seeking to understand where this analogy may break down. Thanks :)
I'm not aware of anywhere in the UK that will allow you to buy land and build a tin shack on it. Does an entire country count? Hell, most Western European countries will probably have something to say about it if the authorities find out you're living without water and waste.

Your minimum is probably a well, septic tank, permits and so on, this is if you even get planning permission. It's almost certainly going to be cheaper to buy an old terraced house in a post industrial town.

Exactly! Proofs are why I love mathematics so much. There's nothing quite like the great "ah-ha!" moment when you find that one leap of logic that topples the rest of the dominoes in a proof. Of course, I understand that some people are better at teaching proofs by involving students in the discovery. Maybe the parent commenter was taught proofs in that same rote manner. I've had professors that have done that, and it's like someone sucked all the fun and learning out of the subject.

From the preface of Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines by Marvin L Minsky:

> The reader is therefore enjoined not to turn too easily to the solutions; not unless a needed idea has not come for a day or so. Every such concession has a price—loss of the experience obtained by solving a new kind of problem. Besides, even if reading the solutions were enough to acquire the ability to solve such problems (which it is not), one rarely finds a set of ideas which are at once so elegant and so accessible to workers who have not had to climb over a large set of mathematical prerequisites. Hence it is an unusually good field for practice in training oneself to formalize ideas and evaluate and compare different formalization techniques.
The amount of time I spent exploring it! What a rabbit whole to wonder into!
So the average hours of tv watched per person in the us is 4 or 5 depending on what study you go by.

I am just going to go off netflix's GB/hour figures. 3GB/hour for HD or 7GB/hour for 4k.

If you refuse to watch in 4k then you won't touch your cap because you are looking at 360-450gb/month.

However if you have bought a tv in the last few years it is likely a 4k tv because why not. Mine was a 55" smart tv for $350 about 2 years ago. Ive seen 4k tv's for under $200.

4k puts those numbers to 840-1050gb/month.

For 1 person. Now imagine a family that does not always watch the same thing.

1TB is designed to be a cap that is more than enough for anybody EXCEPT a cord cutter. If you decide to go with a streaming only tv plan kiss your bandwidth goodby.

I returned to ebay after years of absence when I wanted a replacement wallet just like one I had 10 years ago. I found it for cheap, it shipped, it was brand new in its packaging. I couldn't have been happier.

Since then I've really re-awoken to ebay and tried to get in the habit of looking there and not just on Amazon. So I would second the parent's comment. I could even see there being an ebay revival.
A government doesn't need to launch an all-out war on encryption to get its way.

They only need to lean on relatively few people - the humans who live in the US and who run Facebook, Apple, etc. to put back-doors in their services. Or worse, they put back-doors in their services while denying that they have done so.

The fact that strong encryption still exists will be of little use if it's not what the bulk of people actually use.
With requirements.txt, pyproject.toml/poetry, or pipenv depending on who the audience is, what conventions already exist in that community, and whether I need non-python dependencies as well. Friends don't let friends use setup.py (except sometimes you need to).

The Ubuntu versions of Flask, pymongo, and elastic are all out of date in the 18.04 (LTS) repos. Many are also out of date (although not as much) in all Canonical repos. Flask at least is missing security patches (bad) or the version number is misleading because they silently backported the fix (almost worse) in LTS. I've had backwards compatibility broken repeatedly by upgrading Canonical LTS versions of elastic and also numpy. It's actually happened so often that the set of tests in my CI that test with Ubuntu packages is named "what did they break this time" and can't fail the build.

I asked if you're a Python developer as it's my experience that sysadmins often think about this problem from the perspective of "use the repos, one less thing for me to manage" and developers think of it from the perspective of "I need the version of Flask that comes from PyPI, since that's what other devs will/have use(d)". I have very seldom encountered Python developers who use the distro-provided packages, and usually when I have it's because they didn't know about pip/PyPI. I apologise that the ambiguity caused offense, words are hard on computers :partyparrot:
