Ergo, the only investments left worth making (>0% yield) are high risk. Treasuries and “safe” bonds are close enough to 0 that I round down for the purpose of this comment.

Apple has ~$250 billion in cash on hand. Berkshire Hathaway has $122 billion. Alphabet has ~$100 billion. Where do you invest when all that is left is the roulette table (sidenote: Alphabet should be making risky bets: Alpha Bet [Alpha is investment return above benchmark])?
Quick != Fast.

Quick in the automotive industry generally refers to acceleration. Fast refers to top speed. Tesla made a big deal about acceleration, but as I said they cede that there are much faster cars out there.

The Tesla is very quick at accelerating. This is indisputable. Tesla made a benefit of electric motors, properly implemented, to push a high end sedan. Eh. That this whole discussion is full of people moaning that Porsche, years and years later, might make a two seater that in some situations is more performant is quite incredible really, and is quite the accolades for Tesla.

Regarding the roadster...how is that plainly false? 2.1 seconds might very much qualify it as the quickest car in the world, production or not. At least for things that qualify as "cars".
I mean, IANAD, but it might count as PTSD.

I think the main differentiator is that PTSD leaves sort of a lasting impression on your nervous system that alters your behavior even when the threat isn't around.

For example, in my case, the aspect of my PTSD that most impacts my quality of life today is hypervigilance. I'm constantly scanning for threats, watching people's hands, looking for exits, aware of people coming and going, noticing changes in tones or language, trying to anticipate sources of conflict in social situations before they happen. I'm obsessive about keeping doors locked. I deliberately keep lights dimmed and use noise canceling headphones as much as possible to keep my environment low stimulation.

And I can't sleep until I'm completely exhausted because I don't like being impaired. Like I'll take melatonin, and fight the sleepiness until it wears off.

This isn't to mention stuff like nightmares, feelings of distrust and the tendency to self-isolate and cut people off. These aren't so much issues for me these days though. And while my description of my hypervigilance might sound pretty dire, I think it's the most under control today that it's ever been.

But back to your question, I sort of think of anxiety due to a learned/justifiable fear as something that really only comes into play when the trigger is imminent.

But TBH, I prefer to think of this stuff as existing on a continuum. Like, a "learned fear" is just a different shade of PTSD, not something where there's a super well-defined barrier. But again, IANAD, just a patient :)

That's basically a planned market and those do not work without a perfect government that has total access over all information in the economy. Such a government will probably never exist.

Remember you are talking about denying a CEO the ability to decide whether to invest or not invest in additional production capacity and instead assigning this task to the government. The CEO has more information about his own company than the government, which means that the government is not capable of making this decision. The government is also insulated from the consequences of making the wrong decision, if a company loses revenue or even shuts down the government is not directly affected.
true! i wondered if i should include that but decided to stick with the "mathematical" naturals since we were talking from a math standpoint

Basically completely wrong, so here's some correction.

> 1. Paying dividends makes you an attractive investment to people looking for long-term investments, such as pension funds.

Close, but paying dividends makes you an attractive investment to anyone. Stock in a company is valuable because the company pays dividends, is expected to eventually pay dividends, or is expected to be bought out by another company.

> 2. This increases stock price, and when a corporation holds much of the stock, this increases the corporations holdings.

This mostly should not change the stock price. If the market believes that the company is foolish to pay the dividend because it is able to get a higher rate of return than its shareholders will be able to get with the money, then announcing a dividend would reduce the share price. If the market agrees with the company's management that the company does not have better investment opportunities than the shareholders, then the share price will go up if the dividend was unexpected (i.e. the market thought that the management was stupid, but it turns out they are not), and otherwise will not change.

> 3. Those individuals working within the corporate structure that hold stock, increase their net worth.

As previous, not really. Under normal circumstances paying a dividend will have, if anything, a negative effect on the share price. (The company has less money now, why would it be more valuable?)

> 4. The corporation and influential employees gain, and so keep paying out high dividends.

Sorta correct! Once you begin paying a dividend, cutting the dividend should indicate one of two things. Possibility one, you have found new investment opportunities to better deploy the money than the shareholders could. Great news! Possibility two, the company is struggling financially and no longer accrues profit that it can use to pay the dividend. Bad news! If the market doesn't believe that the company has good investment opportunities, then cutting a dividend should be taken as a sign that the company is struggling, and the stock price would fall (If the company can't afford to pay dividends, why own the stock?). So if influential employees hold a lot of stock, they will be inclined to continue paying the dividend.
I would be OK with both those, but not distributing packages for CentOS and mingling configuration with program data (You can't just untar the release into your installation location, that will overwrite your local configuration) are the dealbreakers.

It's a nightmare to maintain keep updated (manual processes galore), but it has a fast release cadence. The worst of both worlds.

Don't make excuses for Tesla's overblown marketing. Playing semantics is the lowest form of argument.

> What specific federal funds rate would make stock prices "supported by fundamentals" rather than "inflated", and why in your view can't the Fed just set that rate to avoid these problems?

If I could conceive of a way of calculating the optimal federal funds rate, I'd be owed a nobel prize in both economics and physics. Even then, the Fed probably wouldn't listen to my advice.
Halve the cost and I suspect energy utilities as we know them are in trouble too.

Currently solar is a no brainer in my country of Australia. Typically around a 6 year payoff for a 20 year benifit.

Batteries are about break over ~10 years payback. But if you could half that it's becomes something many people will do. And once that starts happening it's a death spiral for utilities as they will have a every reducing customer base for a business with large fixed costs. As they put these expenses onto a shrinking base it only encourages more people to swap.

So for a country with a large suburban population that has the solar battery option this is going to hit utilities hard. Their market could shrink to largely providing high density areas where households dont have the roof space to generate their own power.
yup. i wrote a simple one for my group of friends (i was also playing around with asyncio for the first time) and it took me less than an afternoon.
I think the author is ascribing too much intent to a simple economy of shame that’s omnipresent in all classes; if people find out you have more than they do, they hate you.

The author herself appears to be biased by this. She believes that the “rich elites” have a great burden of responsibility towards the world, which she justifies with shaky zero sum logic that suggests that because they have more, they necessarily took it from those who have less (her bulky villager metaphor). She might not be openly jealous, but she still seems to believe that her rich peers must somehow earn this wealth (an undefined and likely impossible undertaking), and writes about them with condescension when she sees they do not meet her burden.

The kind of “rich elite” that attends Yale—that is to say a child who has access to vast sums of wealth they themselves did not amass—is an otherwise normal person who simply wants to live a happy life. Some end up president, some end up “gypsies”, but as the observes all of them have learned that in order to pursue these goals unmolested they have to put on the cloak of being less privileged than those around them. If they don’t, they’ll drown in a sea of hate from those of lesser means than them.

Thats it. There’s no mystery here, just a bunch of kids trying to avoid being systematically bullied for circumstances outside of their control.
Cisco has been fighting second hand sales of their hardware for well over two decades now. There was a flood of surplus gear after the first dotcom crash. Lots of folks, myself included took advantage of those circumstances.

Eventually reputable vendors began to pop up. I recall doing a great deal of business (>$1m) with a company called "Network Hardware Resale". They're still in business as "Curvature" and I believe still moving second hand network and server gear as well as providing support.

There have been times that I recall when lead times for Cisco gear have exceeded 8 weeks, when I didn't have any other options other than using refurbished gear.

From my perspective, Cisco is nothing more than a company looking to extract as much money as possible out of Enterprise IT shops. They pretty much gave up the service provider market. IOS has gone a million different directions, and they've been slow to embrace IAC.

Back when I was buying refurb gear, I was also buying some new and some officially re-marketed gear. I'd get support for the chassis and supervisor modules (Cat 6500) so that I could get reliable software updates.

My sales rep's regional manager sent a threatening letter to the VP of my department with some dire warning about how we were in violation of the law or some such. We all ended up in a meeting in which they produced a list of serial numbers of gear that we'd sought support on that were supposedly grey-market. We produced the same list of serial numbers on invoices for legit Cisco certified re-marketed equipment. They'd just failed at record-keeping. My VP was livid and threw them out of his office. Pretty sure they got fired after.

Anyway, this is all just a tactic to extract the most money possible. It'd be irrational to choose Cisco for any new network deployment these days.

> The sheer novelty of Dooley’s existence has proven irresistible to journalists—netting her gawking profiles in The New Yorker, Harper’s, and on National Public Radio—but that coverage has tended to obscure her extremism. Alongside advocating for sustainable energy, Dooley’s other pet issues are opposing amnesty for undocumented immigrants and increasing border security.

Enforcing current immigration law, which would leave legal immigration into the US at the near-record 1.1 million per year, is now (presumably anti-immigrant) extremism? In almost any other country, this would be pro-immigrant extremism!

To give a sense of comparison, 15.1% of the US population is foreign born, compared to 1.7% for Japan, and 0.1% for China.

I think there’s a vague hope that when there are a bunch of people who get paid 200k in your city that it means there will be more people who get paid 50-100k... the reality is more like there is a big increase in the amount of people who get paid like 20-50k.. people who do house cleaning, drive cars, child care, work at restaurants, coffee shops, etc.. and to a lesser degree some more teachers get raises and more teachers get hired.. people that get paid a lot in a built up city aren’t going to be effectively paying out of their salary more than a certain percentage of it to contractors and luxuries.. if you get paid 200k per year you can likely only afford to spend like 50k per year for things like buying a car or boat or upgrading your house. So if you have 20k amazon employees it means maybe you have around 5-10k people who benefit from them tremendously, and maybe 30k who benefit from them slightly.

I know both of these names, although I am always amazed every year how the media swarms DEFCON and there always seems to be a steady stream of news stories and articles about computer security and various hacking things for a week or two or so every year during and after DEFCON.

There are large parts of the world where engineers are cheaper than hardware.
default initialization is a desirable feature in most circumstances, and I would argue most languages should be opt-out rather than opt-in.

There are really only two reasons I can think of for not wanting default initialization.

1. performance

2. to catch mistakes on the edges of your system.

A good example of the second is converting incoming data to enumerations. If you're not explicitly checking for it, you can accidentally default initialize to a valid enumeration. This is why I always set the first enumeration to 1 for any language that allows me to. If someone makes that mistake, the missing data causes an error rather than silently doing the wrong thing.

But I can't really think of any reason outside of those two cases where you wouldn't want default initialization.

And my point was that one of the reasons 0 is chosen as false because it's consistent with respect to default initialization of booleans. I realize that isn't the original reason, but today it's a good reason for having the behavior.
Maybe that should be the focus of attention vs stock buybacks.

If you run a book store, it is a good practice to define some way to categorize your books.

But what if you pick a weird criteria for categorization and end up with 10000 different sections? That is almost as bad as having each book have its own category.

What if you consistently end up with books that are fundamentally different in every way in the same categories? that's almost as bad as completely random categories.

And the same can happen with software. What goes into a service must be consistent and make sense.

Most people miss that this is a way to move money without paying taxes. If you pay to onshore profits, you can avoid taxes until another tax holiday by taking out a loan, paying minimal interest, and avoiding having to onshore money for a long time.
Employers aren’t going to pay more until employees start asking for more. Employees don’t ask for more because labor isn’t an efficient market like stocks or real estate. Employees tend to set their asking prices too low because they lack up to date pricing information. Outside of unionized labor and government, employers deliberately conceal salary information and make it difficult to do a valuation of a job based on comparable positions.

I don’t see how this can change unless the information gap between employers and employees is eliminated.

That would be wasted effort, though. Sure, I can come up with a dozen potential reasons. But I want to know the actual reason(s).
Here is a list of new types of games that has come about the last couple of years that might be worth checking out if the only one you are aware if is Minecraft (this might sound snarky but I take you at face value and you might actually not have heard of these types of games before). Some of these have characteristics of old games, but often has stuff that was simply not possible 15+ years ago.

Sandboxed MMOS (EVE, no mans sky, Elite: Dangerous)

MOBA (Dota, HoTs, LoL, Smite)

Real MOBAs (WoW Arena, WC3: Warlock, Battlerite)

Battle royale games (Apex, PUBG, Fortnite, DayZ, ETF, Battlerite Royale)

Simulators (Arma, flight sims, truck driver simulator, which are now SUPER realistic)

Online Trading Card Games (Hearthstone, Magic [1])

Rocket League (I dont know any game like it nor what genre it is "sport"?)

Fast paced RTS (WarCraft, StarCraft, Total Anihilation, Red Alert)

Auto Chess (Autochess, Dota Underlords, Teamfight Tactics)

Competitive FPS (Call of Duty, Counter Strike, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch)

Casual social/arena action games (JackBoxTV, Use your words, Mario party, Overcooked, Duck Game, Gang Beasts, Speedrunners, Stick Fight, Hidden in plain sight [2])

If you are feeling old/and/or out of touch of modern gaming and coming from a perspective from the 90s, at least try these genres out. And of course games in the same genre has cross pollination and are similar in some ways, but some games play very differently, so don't dismiss a genre totally because you have tried only one game!

[1] One could argue that these are not a new type of game, but the mechanics in hearthstone is not possible in a physical TCG.

[2] Boardgame-ish types of games.

Edit: Of course I have left out a TON of games and some are actually considered quite old, these were the ones that came to mind.

Agreed, the humans will need enough short-term energy storage to cover several hours of their energy use to transition it mostly to solar, which is probably what they will do.

It’s any interesting idea actually that would effectively mandate new jobs. In the US forcing people to live in an area because of the job they get likely wouldn’t fly. But you could mandate that the company must be located in a particular area or that they get some tax incentives to be in a particular area that needs improvement and thus lots of construction jobs are needed. To some degree it might depress property values in an area though.
Alternative is you tax the profits at a higher tax rate (i.e. what the tax rate was before the tax cuts) and use the tax revenues to fund things that benefit the general public at large...
