I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to understand how the market is doing so well. There are quite a few variables, as in most complex systems, and many have been outlined Robinhood etc here.

However, I believe the single biggest factor to the market's continued stability was the announcement by the Federal Reserve to buy corporate bonds. This has NEVER been done before and was a HUGE deal.

The announcement came on March 23rd. 'Oddly' that also happens to be the very bottom of the March sell off panic.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/business/economy/coronavi...

Those purchases just started happening. As such, I expect the markets to continue as if there is no Covid Crisis as it is viewed as a short term issue that has been mitigated at a corporate cash flow point by this Federal Reserve buying.

> Why should we force a cap rather than let market competition improve prices?

This is an extremely simplistic perspective on the matter.

Competitors have proved that they are willing to lose money on the short term, because the goal is to dominate the market in the long term. This has a name, and it's "dumping".

On top of that, these services are saturating and cannibalizing the food delivery market share, not by driving restaurants out of business, but their delivery services. At some point in time, the perception of such services would be that they are the only available options, giving restaurants no chance to compete, even when they are the actual providers or manufacturers of the goods.

Couldn't Google be an example of this? Search is a hard problem, even if you've got MSFT-level resources. There are definitely economies of scale and some weak network effects that help companies like Google, but I'd argue it's most because they do something hard better than anyone else.
This is a mistaken view point. Every function you can ever write is bounded by a type, thus whether you use Ruby, PHP, or Rust can be described by a bounded type.

Every time you write logic in your code, your brain is aware that the logic is dealing with a specific type. Writing a type signature on top of that is just additional instructions to the compiler about the type you have already specified in your logic. It is a minor inconvenience.

There are many reasons why Ruby and PHP won out. One of the reasons is many people misunderstand the power and flexibility of types. Once they understand this, they will know there is really no trade off between statically typed and dynamically typed. Statically typed languages are infinitely better and the only downside is a minor inconvenience.

First off, note that there is only one function in the universe that can really take every single type in existence and that function is shown below:

-- haskell
identity :: x -> x
identity x = x

# python
def identity(x: Any) -> Any:
return x

This is the only untyped function in existence. Every other function in the universe must be typed whether it is typed dynamically or statically is irrelevant, either way your code will have to specify the type in logic or in the type signature. You can see this happening in the examples below...

The above example have no logic to specify a type... The minute you start to add any logic to your function immediately your function becomes bounded by a type. Let's say I simply want to add one in my identity function.

-- haskell
identity :: Int -> Int
identity x + 1 = x + 1

# python
def identity(x: Int) -> Int:
return x + 1

The very act of adding even the simplest logic binds your function to a type. In this case it binded my function parameter to an integer. Whether you use PHP or Ruby or Rust there is a type signature that describes all functions.

Let's say I want to do garbage code like write a function that handles an Int or a String? That can be typed as well....

--haskell
type IntOrString = Number Int | Characters String
func :: IntOrString -> IntOrString
func Number n = n + 1
func Characters n = n ++ "1"

#python
IntOrString = Union[str, int]
def func(n: IntOrString) -> IntOrString:
if isinstance(n, int):
return n + 1
if isinstance(n, str):
return n + "1"

Let's say I want to handle every possible JSON api in existence? Well it can be typed as well.

-- haskell
type JSON = Number Float | Characters String | Array [JSON] | Map String JSON
func :: JSON -> JSON
func Array x = x ++ [1.0]
func x = x

-- python
JSON = Union[float, str, List["JSON"], Dict[str, "JSON"]]
def func(x: JSON) -> JSON:
if isinstance(x, list):
return x + [1.0]
else:
return x

There really isn't any additional flexibility afforded to you by a dynamically typed language other than the slight overhead of translating the types you already specified dynamically into types that are specified statically.

One caveat to note here (and this is specific to haskell) is lack of interfaces specific to record types. I cannot specify a type that represents every single record that contains at least a property named x with a type of int.
> It shall be unlawful for a Third-Party, App-Based Food Delivery Platform to charge a Restaurant a fee (including, without limitation, any DELIVERY FEE) for the use of its
services that totals more than 10% of the Purchase Price of the order made through the Third-Party, App-Based Food Delivery Platform.

Do delivery apps charge "delivery fees" to restaurants as well as to the customer? Yes, the ordinance applies to restaurant charges, but this provision reads ambiguously to me, as I don't know if third-party platforms charge the restaurant a delivery fee while also charging the customer a (possibly different) delivery fee.

I agree but seems like sitting in a chair in front of a computer and not working out hard to fight the effects of the sedentary lifestyle is as bad on the human body. Some programmers spend so much time in front of the computer that they don’t have enough time, energy or motivation to hit the gym.

Also the skills learned in this field are inflating fast. Compare that to learning a trade and applying that knowledge for a lifetime of work while build solid experience in time is also a bit different.

Also software jobs quite frequently lead mental wear as much as those trade jobs are rough on the body

I live in a state which has one of the highest new-cases-per-day number, and we can still go get take-out.

1) I call in my order.
2) I drive to the restaurant.
3) I put my mask on.
4) I go inside, get my sack of food.
5) I drive home.

We do a lot of cooking at home, which we find to be enjoyable, so this doesn't happen very often. Costco same-day (via Instacart), even when it tacks on 20% to the cost of items, is perfectly acceptable to me.

Idris 1 compiles via C, it just has to implement a garbage collector in its runtime system. It should be noted that Idris 1 has much worse performance than Idris 2 compiled to Chez Scheme, it would take a serious effort to do better than the current Chez backend.

The logical target for a high-performance backend would be LLVM instead of rust. After elaboration Idris 2 has a series of intermediate languages, from lambda calculus to a simple register machine. Creating LLVM code from the least abstract of them wouldn't be any harder than creating Rust code.
I think this is spot on. IMHO, everyone that uses Rails knows it's flawed. The problem is that there's not a better option out there that:

(1) Is "batteries included"

(2) Has the gem/engine ecosystem where basically every problem is already solved.

(3) Expressive code like has_many :things

If we could get those things + static typing + performance everyone would switch. But that doesn't exist.
This is always attributed to the market, or capitalism, or some other such thing. Why is that? Citation please.

The system not only encourages but requires inequality. Today's billionaires accumulated that wealth off the back of countless toiling workers, many doing so in miserable conditions.

Why is it so clearly capitalism that lifted those people out of poverty, and not modern advances in technology, such as in food production, efficient transportation of goods, sanitation, and medicine?

That may be true but at least to me it was more obvious in Vienna because it's someplace that was clearly once a lot more important than it is now. Cities like London or Paris are still growing and changing. In Vienna I had the sense that this was someplace that was once the centre of an empire, and whose heyday has clearly passed (for now, who knows?) but has still retained a lot of what made it such a great city during the time period described in the article.
Is a law against drunk driving an inappropriate restriction of my liberty?

Following your logic, we should say that people must have sufficiently armored vehicles to go out, so that it's safe in case they're hit by a drunk.
My only theory on what the VCs are thinking is something like: "eventually, efficiencies in delivery costs will occur, perhaps due to the number of participants shrinking allowing better driver routing or new technology coming available (drones, automated delivery vehicles, who knows) - at that time, the dominant players will become massively profitable".

But I don't really get it.

To be clear, the people doing well out of this are the delivery customers who are receiving a subsidy from all other participants.

it's not just the distribution of currency; it's the distribution of food itself. a lot of food waste happens because the cost of transporting and storing it would result in a net loss.
The solution to that is using google maps or Apple Maps or duck duck go or a phone book.

If people don’t understand that a middleman adds cost as an adult, then that is an education issue.
> THATS the winning formula.

Not so fast. For some problems it's great, for other ones it's not.

Have you tried writing numeric or machine leaning core in Haskell? You'll notice that the type system just doesn't help you enforce correctness. Have you tried writing low level IO? The logic is too complex to capture on types, if you try to use them you'll have a huge problem.

Some reflections, having slept on it.

I am disappointed but not at all surprised that many of the reactions here are responses to my partisan position. I worked pretty hard to reduce that without compromising what I was trying to say. Certainly in the Twitter list I'm promoting I think I succeeded; it includes Scott Gottlieb, who was FDA commissioner under Trump and now advising two Republican governors on Covid-19, but doesn't have anybody (D or R) who uses their platform to push partisan political messages.

But I think the reduction of everything to partisanship is one of the ways in which we're broken. It's impossible to have a productive conversation under those circumstances. I think it's a kind of learned helplessness. We don't want to solve problems ourselves, we want our political party (and institutions in general) to do it. I'm sure many of us on this thread have fantasies of our party vanquishing the other one on the political stage and carrying out our wishes. Or if our party is in power, then we reflexively want to rationalize away whatever flaws they have. (For the record, I am equally upset by what's going on in blue states and red. Seeing the numbers go up in California, where I live, is at odds with any simplistic narrative that Democrats embrace science and Republicans deny it, with direct consequences for Covid response)

In any case, thanks for the responses, they're all respectful, and I appreciate that.

Exactly. This is not a cap on prices, it's a cap on hidden prices. When the restaurants have to raise their prices to compensate for Uber's fee, Uber doesn't take the hit, the restaurant does.

This forces Uber to more clearly tell the customer how much their convenience costs, but it can be anything Uber wants.

There is no such thing as corporate altruism. It is all greed. For all companies.

When a company open sources something, you're right, they "see the value of open source". They know it will enable collaboration, essentially unpaid labor on their project, community and interest, and while others can use it, it places them at the center in a driving power position over the technology and gives them the ability to set the standard.

Open sourcing is good business. And that's before we talk about the marketing value of claiming it's altruistic and selling that idea to everyone else. Once you start taking advantage of people's naivety to promote your company and your brand, you're really cooking with gas.

People need to stop believing in corporations, because corporations are built for the purpose of making money. You can trust them insofar as you understand that goal and understand them to move in accordance with it.
Use standards, that's enough. And avoid that a random Corp create the next unaccessible thing and force it down to everybody and avoid support for not standardized / proprietary technologies

How I Stopped Cosmonauts from Carrying Guns
The concrete policies can and will be argued forever.

I'm saying the principle is clear.
It’s clear that past attempts to “fix” the economic system (e.g. Nixon’s price controls, rent control) have often made things worse.

So to a degree, a free market is “inevitable” to a degree. There is only so much control you can exert without mucking it up. The other alternative is place more of the economy under gov’t control and we’ve seen how well that works.

And have no idea why you think the future will be worse. Think about living in 1930’s France. The world was far more unstable than it is now, yet prosperity and freedom are more broadly available than ever before. Not sure what the doom and gloom prediction is based on - we are NOT in unique times here.

This looks really neat :) But I do wonder how well the Premium Bond (PB) idea will work when not backed by the state (NS&I, who issue PBs in the UK, is backed by the treasury). I would personally worry that my deposit will just be used for prizes in a Ponzi scheme situation.

Another thought is that while it is true that in the UK a large number of the population have PBs, these are usually bought by their parents when they are born. I still have my PB account that was set up by my parents, but I wouldn't consider it a tool for saving. Most people's balance in PBs are a tiny proportion of their total savings. Yotta's 0.2% base rate might change that behaviour though!

> The economy provides tax dollars. If immigrants are working hard for low wages, they're supporting the economy and economic growth. You're thinking very unclearly if you gauge the economic impact of a worker, or a class of workers, solely on how much income tax they pay.

That economic growth is going to shareholders, not the immigrants who are being squeezed for their labor at low wages.

People with high wages pay into social programs (Medicare and Social Security comes out of W2 income). Shareholders, via taxes on capital gains, do not. Ergo, underpaid immigrants are exploited by the shareholder class, at the detriment to society as a whole.

Economic growth for growth’s sake is not a metric to be chased when you're discounting quality of life to achieve it.
Webwaste
It's amazing how many commenters have not read the article. This is not a cap on the total price of delivered food, but rather a restriction on the delivery service misrepresenting the price of the food itself. The obvious outcome is that the delivery services move their total fee into the appropriate line item labeled "Delivery Fee".

Also, there is an apparent lack of competition in this space, given that restaurants end up signing contracts that allow delivery services to setup fraudulent phone numbers to capture customers that would otherwise have a direct relationship with the restaurant.

Presumably the ordinance only applies during Covid times because afterwards the restaurants will regain a fair amount of bargaining power with their dine-in customers. Currently a restaurant can only see so many orders coming from a delivery service, and has no way of knowing how many of those customers would have been direct if not for the front running.
Yes, it is very realistic to lock poor people in the slums in their metal barracks to let them be cooked to death, before they starve to death, because they lost every income being locked in and their government is not competent or rich enough, to provide with basic supply.
But yes, Covid19 could be erridicated this way.

When you are hungry, really hungry, which is not something most people in the western world know about, and also have only limited dirty water supply, then you have other problems, than a new disease, all the rich, old people are scared about.

So no, it is not at all realistic, to have the world in its current state, in effective lock-down, without causing more harm, than good. Unless you don't care about the poor in the first place.
