> Every economic system and model depends on future expansion of both capital and human resources.

Sustained economic growth is a product of the Industrial Revolution so this is only true if you ignore almost all of human history.

> There are no theories of at scale planning for a future has less stuff and fewer people and no growth or even shrinkage.

On at least one interpretation this is how total war usually works in industrial societies. The Roman Empire abandoned long settled territory full of Roman citizens on more than one occasion, Britain, Dacia, so dealing with economic contraction is also far from unknown historically, even for well developed states with a literate culture and bureaucracy.

> The "can't afford" BS is the mantra of private capital, which does a great job of funding the .1% and an awful job of funding the 99.9%, which is what pensions do.

You radically underestimate the proportion of the population who would be basically ok in a world without defined benefit pensions or one where they don’t exist at all. The professional classes would be just fine if they had to arrange their own retirements instead of having financial intermediaries do it.

> The fact that expected benefits may not be fully achieved due to, I don't know, inability to predict the future has been used as a straw man to dismantle what have been in historical terms far and away the most successful at scale future funding schemes.

Nothing has been dismantled yet. I’m not aware of a single developed country without a non-contributory old age pension. More generally people I respect, like Noel Maurer, have said that the US’ Social Security system can be made sound with quite feasible increases in taxation. This does not apply, to the best of my knowledge to the large public sector pensions though. They were based on assumptions of economic and population growth that just don’t hold and without politically impossible levels of taxation they’re doomed.

> The repeated failures of unplanned models get lost down the memory hole.

Well no one planned those unplanned models. Extremely generous public sector pensions have been known to be actuarially unsound for decades. The planners know very well a reckoning is coming. They just hope it doesn’t happen while they’re in office.

> We need a new term to complement "Ponzi scheme" to capture the mass reality distortion that index funds make everyone their own best investment manager.

At least investment funds don’t saddle the taxpayer with obligations run up by long gone politicians. There are well run government pension systems, or there’s one, Singapore’s.

Overall I liked this article. It describes an interesting though simple core principle. I have three criticisms:

1. The article is scientific enough that using "grew exponentially" in the colloquial sense of just "grew a lot" is grating.

2. The article gives the impression that Boston is an American city on a grid where elevated trains preceded subways and dominated the transportation system. In reality the core of the city was not at all a grid, subways came first, and subways have been more prevalent than elevated trains.

3. "the vaunted self-driving car, as imminent and yet illusory as nuclear fusion, will not transform the basic geometry of road capacity" This ignores the potential drastic reduction of space allocated for parking, including space that is already part of roadways.
I think that data availability is the problem, rather than the statistical technique (ML vs. "traditional" statistics). How would you - as an "outsider" - even get hold of the countless variables which determine outcome? If the horse has performed well in a training session?

It doesn’t matter to the downvoters. Here’s a deleted question closed as “too broad”: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57064879 Copy-pasting below.

What is the best way in C++ to calculate the coordinate of a rectangle (hyper-rectangle) in n-dimension? I have dimensions of the rectangle in a 1d vector like {1d_min , 1d_max ,2d_min,2d_max, ...., nd_min,nd_max}. For example, in 2d the dimensions are {1d_min,1d_max ,2d_min,2d_max}. And the coordinates will be {1d_min,2d_min},{1d_min,2d_max},{1d_max,2d_min},{1d_max,2d_max}. However, I want it for n-dimension.

For people with even minimal background in geometry, it’s obvious the OP wants coordinates of all vertices of an axis aligned hyper-rectangle. A good question in my book, and it has very simple and elegant answer which I wrote there (using bits from an integer vertex index to select min or max coordinates).
If a is 3b, then b must be 1/3a. I’m reading it as cutting 2/3 of the power requirement.

Get TSA Precheck, carry your luggage on (easy for work trips IME), learn the typical transit time and latencies for security. I can leave my house at 4:30-4:45 for a 6 AM flight (boarding closes at 5:45), reliably make it, have breakfast on the flight, and walk off the plane directly to ground transport and be in fine shape to work a full day somewhere.

You can add hours of buffer time if you want (if you're flying to do an organ transplant, maybe that's a good idea); most people can take a 0.5% chance of missing their flight. (I've literally never missed one, though I've been a few minutes away from doing so a couple times, usually because of my own error, once because of unexpectedly long security lines, even for TSA Pre.)
Countries already apply taxes to flights in or outbound from their territories.

Airlines already apply "fuel surcharges" as part of their ticketing.

Adding a, for example, EU-wide tax on outbound flights based on the distance of origin/destination, would be one way of implementing.

Getting international agreement on, for example, having it apply only to outbound flights, would mean that is not a tax on imports, that could be considered a tariff.

The income could then be spent on subsidizing the other costs of decarbonization.

I could understand not being happy about it, but I don't understand the desire to make google or waze be at fault here. Those drivers are ultimately responsible for where they drive, and in any case, the way they are using the roads is legal.

I haven't had any real driver issues in years and I run linux on all my machines. The closest is installing (via package manager) nvidia drivers for some machines, which takes all of about 30 seconds and a reboot.

It's really luck of the draw, you may get a machine that has a device without good driver support, but it seems increasingly rare. Some ThinkPads now officially support Linux and Dell has been producing the XPS 13 Developer Edition for years which ships with linux and is supported by Dell.

I think your estimate of the CO2 tax on an individual passenger for a long distance flight as being "out of reach" of the middle class is an overestimate.

In terms of passenger km/l, air flight is very efficient, so spreading the tax proportionally across the passengers would not be a major impost on existing prices.
>There's lot of excesses and pointless elements to economies worldwide, but ultimately, at minimum they have to grow to compensate for population growth, or people will starve.

Several issues with this.

There's no requirement that we need to have "population growth" above replacement rate. In fact we should probably have below for a while - and in many western countries we do. In which case "we need growth because we need to cater for the population growth" is a moot point.

Second, "a lot of people living in bad conditions" does not necessarily means growth is required to get them out. Especially since we have unprecedented inequality and hoarding of resources by tiny elites. More equality / better distribution (and no grabbing from ex-colonial powers of developing world resource) would go a long way.

How would it /necessarily/ require dedication of additional police resources? Are you implying that there is some actual or legal requirement for the city to do so?

If not, I don't see how posting a few more NTT signs is significantly different from the status quo, namely that there are already not enough police to enforce all traffic laws in all locations at all times.

I don’t know where to begin with this - I guess I’ll say it’s a stretch to say that the ‘only source of funds’ for those not working is certainly not those working, particularly when those not working enjoyed the biggest economic expansion and prosperity in the last several hundred years.

And attributing the failure of pensions to meet their obligations to ‘attacks’ and lack of ‘defense’ isn’t a well formed opinion or argument, yet you dole out plenty of shade on others’.

Met a professional football (soccer) better in a gambling convention here in the UK a few years back. He had a small team of AI computer scientists.

Told me his average bet size was £100,000, and his edge was in the region of ~1% (EV of £1,000 per bet). Interesting guy but you have to have a huge amount of cash and real belief in your model to ride out the variance!

Pretty sure he wanted to bet bigger but there was an issue with available volume.
Austria's Green Electricity Act 2012 has been regarded as pretty much successful.

It helps that Austria has a tradition of strong ecological standing - it has very much protected its natural resources and its forests have been maintained (by their private owners) for centuries now, as a form of renewable energy.

Austria is pretty well regarded as a hydroelectric producer, and from where I stand here now, I see fields of wind power production far off in the distance. My immediate energy supply is 100% renewable - house solar, charged from the aforementioned grid when necessary - but installed on the basis of a government subsidy.

Not a day goes by when I don't see new electric vehicles on the road. Not just Tesla's, but also mopeds. In fact, this year the European electric moped revolution seems to have kicked off ..
Not really.

a. They did an altitude increase. There's no real gains from an earlier burn that one might get when doing something like a hohmann transfer.

b. Half an orbit before out means more/better telemetry to work with.

c. They are from a quick google, well within the range where atmospheric drag plays a role, and you need to do station keeping. leaving it this late means you don't "waste" fuel from drag.

Hi, I’m Joshua Konstantinos the author of this post.

I’m sorry if you don’t like the quality of my article. But I felt I should respond to the insinuation that I’m doing something underhanded to “somehow” get to the top of hacker news.

I did absolutely nothing to get to the top other than submit the post this morning.

I have been working on my book as a passion project for two years. It is very unlikely that I will ever recoup the money I spent writing it, printing copies, researching etc.

Now that I’ve finished my book I’ve been posting articles on economics and geopolitics because it’s a topic I enjoy. I don’t have ads on my site, and honestly I probably lose money on hosting costs. I have had some success on hacker news and Reddit which has been a pleasant surprise - but Cassandra Capital is just me writing about what I enjoy writing about.
It's quite error prone. I doubt they do it. Also deriving acceleration data requires sub second speed sampling. This needs to be done on device as it sends too much data sampling over the wire otherwise.
> That is actually what taxation-based solutions do. They make travel cost more, so fewer people do it.

Which is fine, but it punishes us for travelling rather than encouraging us not to.

Those with significant disposable income who might go on three or more leisure flights per year (e.g. one ski trip, one beach holiday, one city break) may not notice until it gets really expensive. They can often downgrade their hotel/restaurant/activity choices to compensate.

It also has the potential to just move the problem until the overall price balances out: Those who are budgeting for a week in the Balearics may choose cheaper areas like Dalaman or Burgas to offset the extra cost elsewhere.

The other thing is that it pushes up the income level at which one is too poor to travel. This is good in that because it means fewer people do it, there are fewer passenger miles undertaken overall.

However, it's a similar issue to arguments of an unfair eco burden being placed on developing countries - Those of us who have already benefitted from poisoning the world are now telling others that they have to rein in their emissions. If the richer people I mention above have to drop one of their annual foreign holidays due to the expense are still going on two more return trips than the ones who have to drop their only holiday.

All of this is a long winded way of saying that certain kinds of taxation solution can allow certain people to maintain their current lifestyle, by pricing others out of it.
We are not in disagreement about most of this except for the comment about professional classes being just fine if they have to arrange their own retirements. The overwhelming evidence is that they are not, full stop. Take away social security- a defined benefit model- and real estate and at best the professional class in the US has sufficient investments only to retire to thailand, not the US. Open the conversation to cover professionals who are younger and are subjected to education debt and there is no argument that individual self-funded "retirement" is even an option.

I must disagree slightly. It is a sensible let tweets influence opinion in the sense of "what do many think about it?". Also to some minute degree it shapes just from "normalization" as it turns "unheard of idea" to "commonly proposed idea". Said ideas could still be horrible and foolish but they get more attention but it isn't viewed as bizzare, horrible, and foolish anymore.

Of course people should also apply enough critical thinking to realize when the norm is utterly messed up, the masses are being a bunch of idiots or it starts to look very astroturfy.
