It's because it's not actually about supply and demand; it's actually about information asymmetry. The article is specifically arguing that non-FAANG employees are getting higher wages not because of competition from (e.g.) Google, but because employers don't know whether or not they're competing with Google and have to pay extra just in case.

Voting should be done via paper. It can't be hacked at scale, requires little to no QA (get senior citizens to test layouts) and can be validated manually.

There is absolutely no need to have immediate results of any election in the United States. For a presidential election there is 2.5 months in between election day and when the new person takes office. Most other elections also have similar periods of time for change in leadership.

What problem is being solved by using consumer level software for voting?
My partner is Finnish and so I stay a few weeks every year for years. I am Canadian and the cultures are very similar (northern, low population density, WASP-y, racialized immigrant hating - eg calling the dialect of Finnish refugee immigrants speak "bacterium").
The article is about information asymmetry, not supply and demand.

In fact supply and demand is a prerequisite (but apparently not sufficient) for understanding it.

1% growth difference over 100 years is the difference between the per capita income of the US vs Mexico. So yes, unless you arbitrarily limit the entire globe to some level of prosperity like a novel about a disutopian world ruled by an evil anti-science theocracy, people are going to look at countries growing faster than them and wonder why they have to slum it like peasants without their flying cars and vacations on the moon.
I am getting the impression that growth is largely an illusion, because there is also something like inflation. And it also seems that it is mostly the (very) rich that benefit from the growth.
> Increased population allows for greater specialization

Can you elaborate on this point w.r.t the OP you’re discussing?

Have we really tried? Firstly, despite a lot of talk and bluster, politicians around the world have done very little to regulate against climate change and other environmental issues.

Secondly, many of the technologies that will make this possible - renewable energy, electrification, energy storage, etc, are only just now beginning to reach the mainstream. Many of them seemed like science fiction in past decades.

I think this is the article you are refering to.

All we know is that UK nationals aren’t willing to do those jobs at the wages being offered. If employers raise wages to something liveable and decent then it’s reasonable to assume employment in those areas will increase.
In a perfect scenario you’d just have people have fewer babies. The issue is that countries want growth at all costs - the incentive is always more, bigger, faster.

Do people just leave the side of their case off or something. At 100% it's definitely not loud unless I remove the side panel off my case. It makes a noise for sure, but everyone makes it sound like it's the end of the world noise.
Even if we successfully build a space elevator and putting stuff on orbit becomes relatively free, we would still need to build a 100% sustainable spaceship. Or a completely game-changing technology like teleportation, and there's no proof such thing is practically possible.
But why? The universe is so vast and under-populated it's hard to make a case why growth would be constrained.
As far as I can tell this is just a misunderstanding of "growth" in an economic sense. Growth is the result of improvements in productivity, which tend to reduce energy use (per item produced). We consume more energy net because we produce more.

If, eg., products became more expensive because of limited energy (or relevant taxing of externalities) then we would grow more slowly -- we can still produce more through innovation and consume less energy.

It took a huge amount of energy in the past to make a single pair of socks -- today, it takes a tiny amount.

I think the relevant question for 'exponential energy-consumption graphs' is what the relationship is to growth (it simply cannot be assumed that there is a 'deep causal' relationship; this is fallacious equivocation).

Eg., population has been increasing exponentially. Could a static population size produce a flat (or falling) net energy use graph -- whilst still obtaining economic growth (ie., productivity improvements)?
No. Default correlation models and liquidity trap macro concepts don’t have anything to do with each other except you will find math in both.
I don't need Google deciding what I should see. "Misleading" is codeword for opposition speech. Fucking Nazis.
Interesting viewpoints. Got me thinking for a bit;

I think it's so much people are cheap cheap, as pretty much since 2008 most people are not stacking up lots of extra cash, they just have less money.

On top of that, I've seen articles where there is so much 'heirloom furniture' being gifted / inherited and most people don't want it, don't have the space for it and don't want to pay to store it, that goodwills around the country are being over flooded with it.

I've definitely seen trends where many people are buying cheaper, more disposable furniture, clothes, and everything. I'd hazard a guess that many people moving these days would have enough space in a rental car for their cherished / valuable stuff - and all the rest would not be worth six thousand to re-buy, much less the hassle of packing and unpacking and risks associated with that for six grand.

I did not think about these things in this way in the 90s, early 00s.

Not necessarily. Modern banking systems have created plenty of 'money' out of nowhere.

Debt-based monetary systems suggests that the supply of money will always grow but if inflation is high that doesn't tell anything about the wealth itself.
The current fuel infrastructure is definitely not designed for any case. Gas stations run out of gas almost immediately in case of a rush to fill tanks (e.g. because of some crisis).

Similarly loading infra won't be able to to handle everybody suddenly needing their cars fully charged from empty. For the rare cases where people actually need more range than can be filled over a day with low power charging, there can always be a separate network of fast chargers. There is absolutely no need to design every parking spot for fast charging.

We're not talking web-scale here, either. There are 1,600 caucus sites in Iowa. My understanding is that only the organizers/officials even need this on their phones. So we're talking on the order of 10-20k users, max.

My intuition is that the bigger problem is with the caucus format itself, and especially the new rule changes. The app, with its strict data entry requirements, likely didn't cover a lot of corner cases and so people had to call in to ask what to do. There was one caucus on TV last night that had problems because a bunch of people left after first alignment and organizers didn't know how to tally their votes.

When some confusion -- any confusion -- happens, that doesn't fit into the app's forms, people are not going to trust it and will revert to calling the IDP/DNC offices to see how to proceed.
A successful no-growth situation would imply that everything that the consumers require can be easily provided.

So it would eventually become a distribution problem...

I have mixed feelings about this. I realize the number and types of sensors that exist in Waymo's cars provide far more data to the driverless car. But then when I really think about it, humans have been driving with only 2 sensors (eyes) for a long time with relatively good success. With the improvement of computer algorithms to help the cars make better decisions than humans, I'm not 100% sure if the long-term solution will require all the extra sensors.

My guess is the added sensors may get Waymo to market sooner, but if Tesla can commoditize this technology for far cheaper they will win in the end.
What worries me is will we do enough damage in 30 years that it doesn’t matter? And will economies be able to adjust? Even if this happens, do we get to a steady state of 10bn? 9? I think our global population should be closer to 1bn if we want an ideal world.

Also boo to those who are downvoting you about the US comment. Either you can’t read or you’re intentionally not reading. The OP was referencing people who are citizens in the US who do it have as many kids as immigrants and without immigration would be below replacement rates.
One would think the person with the most votes is their best hope. But apparently the leadership thinks they know better than data.
If humans can expand inter-galactically, then it likely it would have happened already by some other species, given the size and age of our galaxy. But since we're not part of some prior alien galactic empire, it's probably not feasible. And we would also be able to see the energy output from other galactic civilizations nearby. But we see nothing. Not from Andromeda, not from anywhere in our local cluster.
I think 'single player' obscures a bit in this case. Hoops and solitaire are single player and the perceived opponent is you. You can fiddle with the rules to make it harder or easier for yourself but generally there's not much point 'cheating' yourself. In something like an FPS the perceived opponent is the horde of zombies on screen. Doing whatever it takes within the game mechanics to beat the opponent is still ok; taking advantage of the rules is still 'fair'. Most people don't cheat such single player games by installing trainers or enabling god mode, even though these options are readily available - that would be cheating against yourself.
I don't understand. You simply pay pensions with public money in the non-growing economy.

> The US has been the richest country in the world in terms of average individual consumption (not income, some small countries like Norway have higher incomes) since independence and before

You’re wrong. After the civil war it’s arguable and it’s certainly true after 1900, but American policies favoring agriculture (thanks to romantic notions from Jefferson among others) retarded widespread industrialization in the US until much later than the UK, France, and Germany.

Lots of people underestimate the degree to which economic growth fuels good life outcomes for wide swaths of people.

-Even though many people live paycheck to paycheck at many different income levels, enough income growth can get you out of a paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle and enable you to have real financial autonomy.

-One thing that has stuck in my mind over the last few years is that one of the worst outcomes of unemployment is when people feel useless as a person- leading to psychological problems and behavioral problems.

-The pace at which we solve real, useful problems grows with economic growth.

I wonder if wc does the work anyway, and only reports it if asked, or if it actually changes the code path if it's not needed.

Imo focus on code instead of commit history. I almost run into the same trap myself couple of times. Code history and quality! at the beginning hardly matters. At the beginning you don't need to follow any process, because there is nothing to base that process on (no code).

Just ship the code, your time matters more than a few fancy commit messages.
Why can’t we just count votes by hand? To me this is over optimization and really just helps a special interest group who wants to sell apps and voting machines. It’s not like we pay a lot of money for election volunteers.

> It's a triangle

That is wrong. In fact we have a much larger population, in many ways human life is more sustainable then it ever was and its easily more prosperous then in the past.

Just like in the 60s the people over-hyping population growth are just as fundamentally wrong as the people who wanted to force cut of trade and foreign aid to India to force them to adopt population control matters.

These same terrible dangerous and fundamentally wrong ideas pop up over and over again.

In fact, with a growing population humans have been using less of earths space. More people live in much denser areas. And even with billions more people we are far below the peak amount of agro culture land. In fact all over the western world wood and wild lands are growing.

With Nuclear, Solar, Wind, Water energy the environmental impact will be far less then what we currently have (and countries with nuclear had for a long time). We could double and triple world population again and there would be no energy issue other then a temporary scale issue.
And it does: "anchor" industries are what brings in wealth in general to a city or metro area. Wages for unrelated jobs in Seattle are still higher than average.

That said, the problem is that average wages don't rise as fast as the cost of living does. But that housing is so expensive is a failure of local government policies, and by extension, the voters who support those policies. Housing doesn't have to be super expensive; voters actively choose policies that make it so.

People are getting what they voted for, and they're mad as hell about it.
Perhaps a shorter way to put it is that without growth the allocation of resources is zero sum. In a fixed sized pie any increase for one slice is a decrease for another. This begins a downward spiral since defection rather than cooperation is rewarded.
> Firstly, despite a lot of talk and bluster, politicians around the world have done very little to regulate against climate change and other environmental issues.

Interestiong question is what's cause and effect here. You could argue politicians haven't done more against CC because they always shy away from doing anything that might harm the economy.
Probably not, because most people want a warm home, some means of transportation, food (especially meat), and other plastic consumer goods. You can't really change human nature, and you also can't fix that by some economic trickery. The only way is to find some technological solution.
401K is not “gaming the system.” The IRS explicitly treats it specially for the purposes of allowing hardworking seniors to retire in dignity. The immigration law does not make explicit allowances for people to game it. If less people gamed the system, it would be more fair for the rest of us who do things the right way without manipulating.
I find it entertaining that the only groups calling "rigged" and sowing disinformation without any evidence is Donald Trump and his sons, and Bernie supporters. When folks say that Bernie is very Trump-like and his followers very similar to Trumps, they can use "rigged" Iowa caucuses as another great datapoint. Caucuses are notoriously messy and take time to tabulate and understand. No one including the national party likes them.

The funniest thing about your lazy "rig" attack is that the national parties DO NOT RUN THESE PROCESSES!

It's literally entirely state-run.

So, according to Donald Trump and Bernie supporters, the Iowa state Democratic Party is rigging their own caucus by feigning incompetence purely of their own accord to help Washington insiders. The minority party of a tiny conservative state is self-rigging to help DC oligarchs, apparently.

Ridiculous.

EDIT: For the record, you are amplifying dangerous political disinformation that is being intentionally used to sow discord and division by the GOP https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1224672579023261707

EDIT2: If you truly want to see a "rigged" process, look at the GOP, who have CANCELLED dozens of primaries and declared Trump the nominee by act from on high. Literally just cancelled democracy. But sure, caucuses suck.
> you'd have large middle and lower classes and barely visible upper class

Yes, isn't that the world we live in?
Other states have tried to go before Iowa in the past--being the first state to vote has significant benefits to the local economy, as campaigns spend ad dollars, hire local teams, deploy ground efforts that eat in local restaurants, etc.

In the past, the parties have essentially prevented those states' election date moves. That stance could change.
Zero real growth is 0%, not -2%. -2% would be contraction. Even still, yes, it's pretty bad. People would have to work longer. Assuming kids account for about 25% of consumption during child rearing years, and assuming 40 years of work and 30 years of retirement (i.e. you live to 90), you wouldn't quite have to save 50% of your net, but the fraction would be significant. Many Americans do not have the head room to make the type of sacrifice. But many do and choose not to.
Yes, but it would help if you could be a bit more specific. I fear this reply may be too general.

The post above suggests that we cannot have a sustainable, prosperous growing population. A rising population allows for greater specialization in that the general population can rely on specialists (auto mechanics, computer programmers, bakers, farmers) to handle their respective field of expertise. You do not need to farm wheat to eat bread in a modern society. Bread is lined up waiting for you in the nearest market. You can go online and have your groceries delivered by a truck.

His point is that you need less human labor to produce the same amount of stuff. Thus with a growing population you have ever increasing productivity, helping you offset potential negative effects of population.

That is just one of the effect that work together to over and over again prove the 'over-population' crowd wrong.
