The Austrian school of economics has been advocating for an alternative form of monetary thinking since the 1920s, and despite predicting with astonishing accuracy the mechanics of almost every recession since then nobody takes them seriously because the teachings goes against establishment economists at the Federal Reserve, the IMF, and other central planners (probably related to the fact that they show with logic that recessions and the "business cycle" are to a large extent created by interference by central banks and not a natural consequence of the free market).

What needs to happen after the coming recession is the total abandonment of the notion that centrally planning the price and quantity of money to induce inflation is somehow a necessary policy to ensure that the economic machine functions, and with that the complete abolishment of central banking and a return to either a gold standard or, with recent developments in mind, the adoption of a crypto-backed money supply that cannot be manipulated by governments.

Inflationary monetary policy is the root cause of many of the issues we see today (widespread inequalities, political tension, erosion of purchasing power and, yes, ridiculous startup valuations) we see today, and it is about time that we abandon it.
Hey @ibizaman thanks for correction, following few points that describe more in details.

100% agreed. This is a trivially solvable problem, and the only thing standing in the way is the fact that politicians are terrified to upset the small minority of people who currently benefit from free on-street parking. We're currently giving away huge amounts of the most valuable real estate in the country, and we need to reclaim it for publicly beneficial uses including bus lanes, bike lanes, and designated loading/unloading zones.

Sounds fair. Thanks!
The beauty of free markets (not sure if I'd call it capitalism) is that even if you're resource zero-sum, free markets can still experience growth, by seeking more efficient redistribution of those resources given individual preferences.

The way I was taught is that Marketing is really about communicating the value that your product creates for the customer, and then capturing the company’s portion of that value created. Some textbooks call this Dual Value Creation.

Sales is a part of marketing, in the theory, and they actually do a bit of both, communicating and capturing value. Communicating when they talk to prospects, capturing when they close deals.

The typical responsibility of Sales is to guide prospects/customers through the “sales funnel” or if you want to be really snazzy, the McKinsey “consumer decision journey.” Actively pushing new clients closer and closer to a deal, cross-selling and upselling current clients, etc.

But you wouldn’t expect salespeople to be writing advertising copy or making webpages, that’s the job of the broader marketing team
The HN forum's population is now very different to what it was at the start. I'm convinced people like Paul Graham would get crucified.

There is a conformity - I don't want to label it leftist - it leans there at the moment but it will go the other way in future.

It is not anybody in Silicon Valley's job to moderate the population's speech - that our governments did not produce a public space for the online world was a strategic error. I suppose we could just take the China route but no amount of machine learning is going to stop Americans telling the other side to fuck off - that is a feature and not a bug.

Exxon's current market cap is something like 300 billion. It is worth that much because of future claims it has on profits from the extraction, refinement and sale of oil. If Exxon makes enough to recoup that... you'll have another 50ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.

So no. You won't have a huge sum of money to fix the sinking ship. You'll be bailing water from one compartment and throwing it into another.

Because it’s the cause celebre today. The causes are often cultivated by different loose organizations like influential people, moneyed people, media and eventually elementary schools. Sometimes the issues are leftist, sometimes rightist. Today leftist ideas are in ascension, ten years from now, who knows.

Ten years ago it wouldn’t have been a thing. There were other issues. These things come and go like fashion. Twenty thirty years ago it was self determination of nations, today its “there should be no borders” which is the opposite of self determination of nations.
Ok, but one of the "lieutenants" in your analogy is telling passengers that the ship's not sinking, and interfering with attempts to warn other ships about enemy torpedos.

I forgot to mention on the post that I also went through relationship issues because of workaholism. Previously, I'm proud that I'm a workaholic and wear it as a badge of honor. I'm glad that my perspective about workaholism has changed now.

I know that a lot of people are having issues too because of workaholism so I wanted to curate a list of tools and resources for making a calm company or calm workplace and hopefully it will help people achieve a better work-life balance and will help companies improve the work environment of their employees. Hopefully, it will also help spread awareness and prevent people from having to learn the negative effects of workaholism the hard way like others and I did.
The most likely scenario is that their predictions at the time have been surprisingly neatly counterbalanced by what actually happened, some big factors off the top of my head:

1. The industrial/economic/demographic collapse in the (former) USSR and Eastern Europe
2. Huge per capita emissions reductions in Western Europe and the USA
3. Stagnation in Japan
3. Slower global population growth than predicted

> “What percent of your deliveries are truly urgent — 5 percent or 2 percent?” said Mr. Holguín-Veras, the Rensselaer professor. “We as customers are driving the process and to some extent creating these complications.”

As a NYC resident, it's not really a matter of urgency. Identical products are generally much cheaper online (and generally with free shipping). And it's much more convenient since the products get shipped straight to my apartment which removes the need for me to navigate poorly stocked/organized stores and then carry it back to my apartment by walking, taking the subway, or the bus.

A lot of the time, it's actually difficult to find certain goods in stores here (or to know which store to go to). Recently I've purchased: calipers, a high torque servo motor, and playing cards online. I honestly don't know where I could find calipers and motors in stores here. I've tried buying playing cards in stores, but I could not find a reasonably sized package in stores that are also in stock. I've found 6 packs of playing cards in stores, but the regular 1 or 2-packs are always out of stock. I seriously tried for two months to buy the cards in store before giving up and buying it on Amazon.
> The idea here is to let user take notes in mark down, then with one click convert it to mind map to make a structure to the text.

An interesting idea, although a bit counter-intuitive: in principle, a mind map helps you to visualize ideas better, in a way that lets you restructure them, etc. This visual outlining process is a tool, not the end goal. You'd expect to start with a rough diagram of idea nodes, not with a list. That said, starting with text could be useful in some cases.

1. When people come unprepared to discuss the meeting's topic and all the meeting is wasted bringing people to the same level of understanding (e.g. discuss CI options and some people don't know what CI is, made up example). As a bonus, the people that got their day disrupted because they have to prepare for the meeting feel frustrated that others didn't do the same.

2. Vague meeting goals and no expected outcome. After an hour, the meeting ends and nothing was decided, no clear consensus, etc.

3. Having to join a meeting because people can't communicate in written form properly and think a meeting will be easier. Especially hard when people are in different timezones.

“The general perception is that the electron double-slit experiment has already been performed. This is true in the sense that Jönsson demonstrated diffraction from single, double, and multiple (up to five) micro-slits [2], but he could not observe single particle diffraction, nor close individual slits. In two separate landmark experiments, individual electron detection was used to produce interference patterns; however, biprisms were used instead of double-slits [3, 4]. First, Pozzi recorded the interference patterns at varying electron beam densities. Then, Tonomura recorded the positions of individual electron detection events and used them to produce the well known build-up of an interference pattern. It is interesting to point out that the build up of a double-slit diffraction pattern has been called 'The most beautiful experiment in physics' [5, 6], while the build-up for a true double-slit has, up to now, never been reported.”

> The easiest case to say the simple is not enough is with encryption. I am not aware of any simple encryption algorithm.

I disagree very much. Most crypto is very simple to use as well as implement. From DES to Chacha20, you can fit an implementation on a business card or two.

Counterpoint: I hardly ever need to worry about numerical stability, and most of the time I can just throw more bits at it.

I wish the problem of complex software were just algorithms. Because most algorithms are easy to abstract in a box with loose coupling, and even the more complex algorithms usually boil down to some dozens of lines of code.

No, the millions of lines of code in big bloated applications are not made up of that.

is it possible to sell the product first and then register as Einzelunternehmer later (within the same fiscal year)? Or you have to register before?

After registering as Einzelunternehmer, if the business stops existing, does one have to "close activity" as Einzelunternehmer somehow?

If you assume society is democratic, however, then knowing the facts matters - even if you end up behaving the same way. It's never a good thing to have a whole set of pressure groups funded by an industry trying to sow doubts about the long-term effects of that industry in contradiction of the facts.

There's a whole lot of unaddressed middle between "give up all oil and make the world look like 1930" and "wilfully hide the truth in order to give us 2020 tech."

How about, "As a democracy, have a debate about long-term problems with a core part of society in reasonable time to address them?

Exactly, a government would have the means to centralize this concept and make it extremely powerful. Instead of just a supermarket working on this principle, the whole distribution network could do it.

Economist here!

Austrian economics hasn't been totally ignored. However, the school of thought's aversion to econometrics makes their policy advice self-limiting compared to mainstream/mainline economic theory. This means Austrian methods can occasionally diagnose a potential cause to a given economic malaise, but the methods can't quantify impact nor fully assess hypotheses regarding causal factors.

The second issue with the Austrian school is in the quest for ideological purity, extreme workarounds substitute for what the mainline has already worked through in the decades or centuries prior (e.g. Rothbard vs. utility). I recommend reading over Bryan Caplan's piece on why he is not an Austrian despite working in the famous US Austrian-supporting school, George Mason University.[0]

As for your specific points, that the large central financial institutions are, according to Austrian theory, causing recessions, even Austrian RBC doesn't completely agree.[1] Economic busts will happen with or without central banks -- being able to bail out key financial platforms is a good thing if it prevents the unnecessary misery of millions or billions. As every economics student should learn in the second half of economics 101, the free market does not always perfectly allocate resources, either immediately or over time (see discussions on externalities).

A business practice of refusing to make key cultural works available to the public-- this is on par with patent trolling. I don't debate their legal right to do it. It's still surprising and another reason to criticize both their business model and the current incarnation of copyright law, which this company had a significant role in creating.
what changed? FR didn't exist 10 years ago but the events did so why do the events need FR now?
My understanding is that would create a tragedy of the commons sort of situation where, even if it was in the overall greater good, any country that cannot manipulate their currency would be at a disadvantage to those who can. Particularly in extraordinary situations such as during a war.

Does the Austrian school have a solution or counter point to that argument?

If I need something right away I could indicate that, but for the most part I don't need things same day.
You state strong agreement then -- justice served with Exxon, as well as curbing what stops regulation. You mentioned one source of curbing -- companies like Exxon. I cited another -- the people of the U.S. and our lifestyles.

Independent of people's talk, the U.S. government is well representing our behavior. There's nothing stopping us from polluting less as individuals. We don't, saying government should tell us what to do. Politicians know that if voters say one thing and do another, they'll vote consistently with what they do.

You want to stop curbing environmental regulation? Show legislators that voters want it. Right now voters overwhelmingly show they want the opposite. They fly around the world for vacation when they could go camping, etc.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think that quote is in general extremely apt for free market ideology. Businesses don't like free markets as much as they like markets tilted in their own favor. If you want an actual free market, you have to watch out for businesses trying to break it through legislation.

Have you ever considered simply buying an HD/4K projector, a decent-quality screen, and a surround-sound setup? If you have a good-sized living room, then the resulting experience is so comparable to a cinema that I personally have never felt inclined to pay for a film at the cinema for the seven years now that I have owned this home setup. Yes, you won't be able to watch it with a set of strangers around you, but I imagine many people would consider that a downside of the cinema, not a plus.
> People were interested in producing more oil, not less.

That's not really a correct categorization. In fact the oil shock also drove serious interest (i.e. among "serious thinkers") in efficiency of consumption and distribution. The CAFE standards et. al. date from this period too.

It wasn't until the mid 90's, long after climate change became a public meme, that most of our government turned away from the idea.
You seem to be confusing what is legal with what is reasonable. It's entirely justified to criticize a company for doing entirely legal things. Indeed it is impossible to make illegal everything for which a company might deserve such criticism.
