So it is a zero coupon bond sold above par, but this doesn't mean the bank isn't making money off of it. There are a lot of technical reasons that these can be purchased (such as a tax advantaged stutus or a requirement to hold certain duration on a portfolio). I'm an expert on German bond market, but I expect the actual yield to be positive after taking into account other factors (or there being some regulatory reason). Last time I saw an article on a negative yield mortgage, there were tax resons it was actually coming out positive.

If you believe E-Cigs are harmless, there's an easy experiment you can do for yourself. Go on a run, time yourself. The next day, vape for 30 min and then go on the same run.

This is what got me to personally switch away from E-Cigs. Vaping would add an additional 30-sec to 1-min per mile on my runs. I try to only use patches or gum now. Still not great but it's a lot better if you're trying to stay in shape.

That being said, if you're only two choices are cigarettes and vaping. Obviously, choose vaping.
If you've befriended and helped a convicted felon who has served his/her time, is repentant, and presumably is on a path to rehabilitation, then that's laudable, even if that person were a murderer.

If you've befriended a murderer who is unrepentant, who managed to avoid any real punishment because of his wealth and connections, and who is rumored to still be engaged in the things he was accused of, I'd say that's a huge moral failing on your part.

So, how exactly do you magically enforce affine type semantics in the data you pass to wasm-python, and transparently forward calls to the bound __call__ method of python objects?

The calls are easy, even today. Semantics are hard.

Regarding your nurse friend, it's not that surprising to me that addicted medical professionals engage in motivated reasoning related to their addictions. It seems like just another version of the classic "I'm fine; I can quit any time" routine.

Plenty of drugs are in the same class with substantially differing impacts - take heroin vs. morphine vs. fentanyl vs. oxycodone as an example, or ask someone taking antipsychotic psych meds if they're all the same.

Or try taking some strychnine because it's an alkaloid like nicotine and caffeine and see how well that works out.

Since you picked coffee as an example, most of the studies I've seen indicate probably health benefits from it. Nicotine it's not.

> Well, the fundamental problem is that Capital comes in and builds a really great Thing, a Thing that may not have been built without Capital, but then Capital wants a Return, which causes the Thing to decay.

I feel like most of the examples of this are the other way around: Great Thing is built without a lot of capital (other than a bit to get started, if even that), then gets a bit of traction, and then Captial comes in and the demands for increased ever revenue starts, even if it might not lead to profits.

We really need to have a concept of a sustainable startup, not just "hyper-scale or bust". That is what normal people call a "business".

Yeah I don't get the impression that you know too well what you are talking about if you don't know the difference between the EU and the Eurozone. Even if the euro were to break up/be abolished and resolve back to smaller currencies there would be a conversion key. The chance that the renmenbi, GBP, yen or even the dollar will have major issues look a lot more likely in the current climate - the renmenbi is still struggling to become a global currency and everyone can see the political struggles on the horizon, the GBP will continue it's free fall after the disastrous Brexit and the following depression, the dollar is widely overdue for a correction and will lose out if eg China starts dumping their reserves, not to speak of the endless debt spiral the us is in - similarly for the yen, with the high debt it looks unlikely to be a stable currency in the long term (even if it's mostly local debt). That doesn't leave too many options - with the euro a fairly stable option as long as people remember the nightmares of Europe pre-euro (and most outside the anglophone bubble do): huge costs and price uncertainty in cross border trade, big financial players gambling and manipulating against smaller currencies (as you still see in Africa today), and overall little trust in the local currencies.

Trust in the euro (not necessarily the EU as a whole, as it is a target for much local political hate & lies when it's easier to blame Brussels than accept responsibility for mistakes) is at an all-time high, with not even Italians wanting to give it up. No one wants the lira or drachma back.

It's the same thing. You can call the case where the counting is not official whatever you want, but the same bar exists. "Audit" requests get challenged in court.

Note I said nothing about whether recountability is a good thing. It's clearly a good thing. Hence we should stick with hand counted paper ballots since machine counting introduces trivial ways to game the vote.

The World Wide Web sure ain't what it used to be. Let's have some internet content police so people don't accidentally hurt themselves.
The implication then is that we're in a bond bubble. When you're buying something that you know has negative fundamental returns on the assumption that someone will buy it from you at a higher price, that's the definition of a bubble.

And like many bubbles, it's entirely possible they'll be right in the short term, but it's basically guaranteed that they'll be wrong in the long term. You know exactly what a bond will be worth in 30 years, and with negative interest rates, you know it'll be worth less than now.
>Also, this is a TERRIBLE example of a pending subprime crisis. A guy borrows $675K on a $1.1 million property.

Well isn't the point that you/they are making that determination on equity alone? As we saw in 2008 all that equity can disappear in a blink of an eye. Equity has no bearing on ability to repay. So before deciding if this is a good or bad loan wouldn't we need to know his outstanding debt to income ratio?

And neither Equity, or ability to repay (debt/income ratio) has anything to do with subprime lending or a subprime lending crisis. Subprime generally means enticing debtors with interest rates below prime, with a loan that will adjust to above prime (and many times even into a single balloon payment at the end which statistically almost no American can make). No one should qualify for such loans on the basis "you may be able to refinance again at the end to avoid the balloon payment", if you don't have the cash on hand to pay the balloon payment, you shouldn't qualify for these types of loans.

> No one is saying that Alex Jones literally should not be allowed to speak, but that letting him speak to your curated audience of millions, without challenging their horseshit, makes you an enabler to those bad ideas.

Actually lots of people are saying that. He was deplatformed from youtube, facebook, and twitter which is exactly why Rogan had him on the show. He is a personal friend and explains that many times. Having Alex Jones on his show is not some dumb idea enabling bullshit, all of his ideas are not completely wrong.

Let people come to their own conclusions. Why do you think people listening to him will not see for themselves? If they can't listen to a rational discussion and make an informed decision there isn't much credit to ones opinion anyway. Just banning him from media is a childish perspective in my opinion.
> Non-central fallacy: Yes, it technically meets one definition of "liability", and is therefore debt; it is not "being invested in a venture" in the sense of this discussion.

Except it is being invested. That's a major part of the role that the government plays when interacting with the macroeconomy.

> At the end of the day, I don't need to make weird and often gross C bindings in my Rust or Go code. Is that not a huge win?

You just need to manually insert stack growth checks before all function calls in anything that can be called from go to support goroutines, because those can't live on a normal stack and still be sufficiently small to support desired go semantics. Async has similar issues, where the semantics are incompatible, which means that many things go horribly wrong in cross-language calls

Or you use a lowest common denominator and essentially treat the thing like an rpc, with a thick layer to paper over semantic mismatches.

And that's before we get to things like C++ or D templates, Rust or Lisp macros, and similar. Those are lazy syntactic transformations on source code, and are meaningless across languages. Not to mention that, if unused, they produce no data to import. But, especially in modern C++, they're incredibly important.
> This is sort of correct, but it also doesn't address the point that this setup can't exist, logically, with fiat currency.

Yes, it can. It can't exist with the game playing that exists with most modern fiat currencies to create the illusion that they are something other than fiat of the issuing government, which creates a lot of artificial debt to create the illusion of a government constrained by the same fiscal concerns that apply to a country using commodity or foreign fiat currency rather than its own fiat.

But this is a behavioral hack to reduce the likelihood of a particular undesirable course of monetary policy (unrestrained money printing), not fundamental to the nature of fiat currency.

Why this stuff is even an issue is mind-boggling to me.

In Canada we vote completely anonymously on a piece of paper. ID is verified at the entrance to the voting area, but your identity is _in no way_ associated with the piece of paper you mark your vote on. The ballots are counted by hand with numerous bystanders/observers of whatever affiliation. It just works. We have no need for digital (aka hackable/tamperable/buggy) voting system.

Global News has a decent article outlining why the system is so impervious to abuse: https://globalnews.ca/news/4049932/canada-2019-election-hack...
This is a non-starter because it allows vote selling and coercion.

I think ECB is doing a terrible job in reaching their stated goal of 2% inflation.

I think actual helicopter money distributed equally to each EU citizen (a few hundred EUR) would have been much better than buying state bonds. Most people would have spent the money immediately and thus caused the desired inflation. As it is now the states benefit from QE in the first step, used in questionable projects in the second step and then it doesn’t tickle down but just inflates various financial asset bubbles. It’s neither fair nor effective.

Of course you need some thought, how to actually distribute the money without losing to much on bureaucracy, but it is possible.

The problem with "open to the public" is it opens up an avenue of reprisal.

Let's say your parks department were headed by a libertarian guy who vehemently opposes using public funds to fill a landfill and turn it into a park and he finds out his deputy voted for the ordinance to spend the money on said park. He could retaliate.

Another hypothetical could involve your local councilman finding out which members of his district voted for him and which didn't, and using that knowledge to influence who's streets get priority when plowing snow this winter and which don't.

Any voting system, including those based on blockchain, should be designed in such a way that disclosure of someone's vote is entirely up to them.

Ugh, timing. I just bought the current/old version of the XPS 13 less than two weeks ago. Part of me wants to see if I can return it and get the new one, but the thought of setting up a new machine again and re-copying data gives me pause.

How were you planning for the voter to check that the final tally actually takes their vote into account and doesn't include other imaginary votes?

Not sure if you are joking or not, but I would wager the costs of sex are actually enormous even compared to drugs. Look no further than the costs and issues surrounding the following: adoption, foster care, abortion, child support, single parent welfare rates, STDs, etc.

In theory sex is a "cost free" recreational activity, but in practice it isn't.
