> Behind the scenes some traditional risky assets such as index funds are already on par with mortgage backed securities in terms of risk and will be accepted as collateral by the central banks.

Can you explain this in a bit more detail? What are some index funds are on par with mortgage backed securities and in what way is the level of risk similar?
This is written in Rust, and the reloading mechanism looks like it aims to hot reload Rust libraries. So this could be used as a development workbench to glue together Rust libraries, think Python gluing a bunch of C++ libs together.

Language wise, it looks like it is in the Swift/Julia/Haxe space but with first class support for Rust. This looks interesting, I wish them luck and would love to use this in the future.

The underlying problem is that, aside from hoarding canned food, consumption in the future must be produced by workers in the future. How do you make claims on the output of workers in the future? Pension funds buy up financial assets, so workers in the future will have to give money to the owners of those assets (old people) as interest payments on debt and corporate profits on the goods and service they buy. All of this is intermediated by the financial sector. Financial sector profits and executive compensation keep going up, which means less is left over for investors. The share going to the financial sector is increasing because they are winning the class struggle. One alternative is to bypass the financial sector completely, and simply give old people money and finance that with taxes. Social Security transfers a little under 5% of GDP from working people to old people, with very little overhead, independently of financial market tempests.

When lawmakers reacted to the emergency they thus listened only to the people who created the disaster - they were the only people they could see who understood what was going on.

It seems I was too hasty in writing my view, because yours is much better worded and I agree wholeheartedly. The only difference seems to be meta: I indeed consider overcoming struggles a form of learning; but you're learning that (to overcome struggles, to push your character), it takes precedence over the underlying topic in my mind. But that's a very minor point, unimportant.

On the "distrust of negative emotion", that's a very good point. I very much believe that emotions are but the body's language, neither good nor bad, just informational. Fear, anger, sadness are powerful drives ("energy" in some circles), warnings too, and one should certainly listen to — but not be driven by — one's emotions.

I essentially mean to warn against two weaknesses that bit me back years down the line:

- partial learning, more mechanical than understood, typically because of weak foundations (and "struggling" is often a sign of that for me). I usually need to go one step back and "clean it" closer to 100% to unlock the previous struggle — I'll confess I still apply my good old math method to do dozens if not hundreds of exercises until something becomes automatic). For instance if past 1 chapter I still don't understand a paragraph of what I'm reading, I'll humbly admit it's too high level and take another book more suited to my level — and try to really ace it, knowing the steepness of following learning curve.

- (in the case of real difficulties to learn, prolonged, spanning multiple topics, etc.) failing to see the elephant in the room, typically because it's unrelated to learning, and that's pretty strong an obstacle in social settings like school, teams, etc. Imposter syndrome, health issues, and all that. Essentially, the idea that however difficult and overwhelming, learning should never feel "bad", like nauseating or abnormally tiring or depressing. Trying to switch on some "playful" mindset and seeing how that goes is a good indicator for me: if I can't even play, the issue is probably not the topic, but myself — cue break, food, meditation, coffee, talking, philosophy, whatever but fix the machine (me) before attempting to work it out more.

This is really about academic style or skill learning, classic lectures + exercises with teachers, online trainings, reading a book, practicing, etc. Life, more generally, is very much like you wonderfully describe.
He's referring to something in specific that many people do not consider. Most of our money is not printed, but created by fractional reserve systems through debt. Banks in general are only required to hold 10% of their deposits on hand. The rest can be lent/invested. If there's a run on the bank they rely on a central bank to give them money to cover it. Most people know this stuff, but consider this:

- Bob deposits $100 of 'real' money at a bank.

- Joe takes out a loan of $90 and uses it to buy something from Jane.

- Jane deposits $90 at the bank.

- Mike takes out a loan of $81 ...

And this process recurses on downward with a smaller and smaller share each time. But the mathematical result of this is that $100 of "real" deposits ends up creating $1000 of debt. And that's before interest which, for long term loans, can be multiplicative. So $100 of "real" money may end up creating thousands of dollars of debt. We've created a system where banks end up, quite rapidly, being owed literally more money than exists. Great time to be a banker for sure.

This is why the Fed and other financial entities are so obsessed with inflation. Inflation makes everything more expensive in the present, but it also reduces the cost of loans from the past. Imagine I take out a loan for $1000 and somehow the next day we see 100% inflation. Well now my loan can be paid back with only $500 of 'value' as measured from the time I took out the loan. If inflation is higher than the interest rate on my loan, I actually earn money by not repaying it. By contrast, deflation makes older loans more expensive. And of course there is also the investment outlook. Inflation is a penalty on wealth. If there's 2% inflation per year, my billion dollar piggy bank becomes worth ~$20 million less each year. So I'm incentivized to invest actively. By contrast with deflation I can sit on my money and become relatively richer by the day.

But this also puts us on a roller coaster. Old debt is only paid off with new debt which will only be paid off with new debt which ... And the money definitely does trickle downward, but at the same time it gushes upward. And the ride keeps going faster, and growing bigger. Not hard to imagine a different system as ours is grossly counter intuitive. Of course different doesn't mean better so, as a recurring theme in human history, we're only like to change once things go boom.
Human languages have a lot of error correction built into them. Lempel Ziv gets pretty close to perfect compression for most types of data. If you put the ASCII plaintext of almost any book into a zip file the compression ratio would be >20.

Almost all data sent electronically is first compressed until it is at entropy and then put into error correcting and line codes to handle channel imperfections.
Well, everything has upsides if you don't compare it to the competition. Even if cars were incapable of transporting people, you could say the upside is, they're a good source of scrap.

But, compared to the competition (buses, light rail, bicycles), it's hard to see where cars come out ahead. They are more expensive than every other option, they produce poisonous fumes, they take up enormous amounts of space, they only work for able-bodied people, they are loud, dangerous, and absurdly wasteful.

I don't think they are worse than smoking as a public health risk. But when you consider the amount of pollution they produce, it's likely comparable. And smokers are taxed - while car drivers are massively subsidized.
I agree, "They" is perfect. If you're offended then so be it. I don't really care if you're a man, woman, transgender, gay, lesbian, whatever.

We are in a society that demands special treatment and we've become so afraid of offending people.

To the offended - Don't be, assume the best of everyone and things will be fine. The problem starts when people are offended and they require special treatment. Malice, racism, segregation and other forms of abuse is not part of this clause. Those are universally inexcusable.

You can certaintly have tupled function arguments in SML/Ocaml, in fact that seems to have been the more common style there, whereas Haskell uses curried functions more commonly.

The fundamental issue is that saving financial assets today has essentially zero impact on the total consumption of future retirees. Instead, what matters is 1) the amount of real goods and services future workers generate, 2) how much of this production they give up in tax transfers to retirees or sold for financial assets owned by retirees, and 3) how many workers there are per retiree.

As a society, we cannot collectively save our way out of the coming pension crisis. Already economic growth is basically not capital-constrained - if an extra billion dollars starts sloshing around the system, it simply raises the market capitalization of existing bonds, businesses, and real estate by a billion dollars. Public companies, on net, return cash each year to investors. Saving doesn't make future retirees as a class wealthier, it simply rearranges the rank ordering of future retiree wealth while allowing current retirees to spend more via higher asset prices.

So, what can future retirees collectively do? Have more children, allow more immigrant workers, increase future tax transfers, force higher savings rates on future workers (eg, student loan debt, mortgage repayments, land rents), retire later, or accept a lower standard of living. What individual options are there? Basically all you can do is save more and wind up in a more privileged tranche of future retirees, and hope that society winds up rich enough to support your retirement dreams. There's some room for optimizing your investment strategy so that it minimizes costs and risks, via tax-advantaged accounts owning broad-market index funds, but there's only so much juice to squeeze there.
How to Sell (2018)
Thanks for telling us all about that.
Think of 'the media' as more than one person acting with different motivations. On the one hand there are the commercial people, they try to generate revenues, if possible to pay out to the owners but at any rate enough to keep the lights on. This will generate a drive to monetize and is to a large extent responsible for the trivial and the overly click-bait bits.

Then on the other hand there are a relatively large number of reasonably good individuals who have dedicated their lives - sometimes at considerable risk - to keeping watch on what happens in society: the journalists. Within the best of the media companies these are free to operate without interference from the commercial - and sometimes political - part of the machine. The more the walls between those two break down and the more editorial control the commercial part has over the journalists the worse a publication will be.

You can see this mechanism at work in great detail in those publications that have a clear mandate imposed upon them from above, less so in better run organizations. None are entirely free from it but the range is quite wide.
> It seems the only way to be 'free' in the old sense is to be the king of yourself. Willing to throw away everything you could ever have or gain simply to retain authority over your own being.

You are channeling Epictetus[0]:

That is why [Diogenes] used to say, "From the time that Antisthenes set me free, I have ceased to be a slave." How did Antisthenes set him free? Listen to what Diogenes says. "He taught me what was mine, and what was not mine. Property is not mine; kinsmen, members of my household, friends, reputation, familiar places, converse with men—all these are not my own. 'What, then, is yours? Power to deal with external impressions.' He showed me that I possess this beyond all hindrance and constraint; no one can hamper me; no one can force me to deal with them otherwise than as I will. Who, then, has authority over me? Philip, or Alexander, or Perdiccas, or the Great King? Where can they get it? For the man who is destined to be overpowered by a man must long before that have been overpowered by things." Therefore, the man over whom pleasure has no power, nor evil, nor fame, nor wealth, and who, whenever it seems good to him, can spit his whole paltry body into some oppressor's face and depart from this life—whose slave can he any longer be, whose subject?

Rent is sort of surplus gained due to advantage of scarcity rather than advantage of production. Unfortunately, I cannot write a HN comment that differentiates more clearly but that's the rough idea.

Like setting up a guild and saying no one can do work except through the guild and then using that advantage of pricing is rent-seeking.

Just being better at doing work so you make more money is profiting.
Somewhat off topic, but is there any other stick-and-ball game (other than baseball and it's derivatives) where the fielders use a mitt/glove?

Let's use a hypothetical here. Let's say you're on a team with someone named Mike.

Mike has a team member that keeps referring to him as 'Mikey'. Mike doesn't like this, because he feels it's demeaning and rude. He insists on being called Mike, but his teammate refuses.

If his manager gets involved and tells said team member to cut it out, is that punishing someone for wrongthink? Do you think it's acceptable to repeatedly call someone a name that they don't like?

Some of this could be down to the completions that are provided. A package such as bash-completions comes with completions for a lot of common software. One specific solution to your problem, well a suggestion is to use oksh (https://github.com/ibara/oksh) a portable version of pdksh (public domain Korn shell) that comes from OpenBSD. The reason why I recommend this shell is that it has programmable completion, although it is much simpler than what's provided by bash and that aside from the built in file name completion it won't come with anything else and you won't find (aside from people's dotfiles on Github) any packages that provide you with anything. Basically you have to customise it to your needs, but because the completion is so simple, whenever you find yourself in a situation where you'd want completion, spend a few minutes adding it to your .kshrc and move on.
>Do you save for retirement if you absolutely can never save enough due to the rate of return?

I find this an interesting question because I turn around and look at the notion of multiple generations living together in the same household, as is practiced in some cultures. In that environment, if you can trust the next generation (or more specifically, your offspring) to care for you in your old age without necessarily banking on an annual 7% rate of return on financial investments, maybe you start putting more money and time into setting your children up for success instead.

If we follow this train of thought, then one might want to invest more into schools and other infrastructure to benefit the next generation rather than necessarily investing in high-yield funds, which strikes me as a healthier alternative in the long run, but would need to be localized to see sufficient return on that investment.

In some sense, isn't this inherently how something like a pension fund works?

Forget about the layers of obfuscation, and think about how the economy works. Some people work and produce stuff, some people do not. The norm (and a defensible one, IMO) is that young people work, and old people do not. This means that some of the output of the work that young people do has to be funneled to old people.

You can do that by building up vast stores of wealth and funneling it to people over time, or you can do it by directly taxing current production, but either way the effect is to direct resources from people who produce to those who don't.

Theoretically, we take the store of wealth approach, but in actuality that store of wealth depends greatly on the economy backing it to be sufficiently productive that there are enough resources to go around. The pension funds don't control the entire economy obviously, so they have to predict as best as they can. It seems extreme to call it a Ponzi scheme unless there was actual fraud occurring.

Edit: thrustvectoring[1] probably does a better job making the point I'm trying to make (or at least a related one.)
