There are already two APIs operated by the Fed (not the treasury) Fedwire and ACH.

The problem is the account. I do not want an account in the federal reserve or anywhere so closely coupled with the government. Nor do I want an account with a public ledger or any way distributed which doesn’t allow for transaction reversals (theft) which rules out blockchain.

Actual banks are necessary.
But keep in mind, the parent poster likely didn't mean his words in a positive light. To portray them as such would be dishonest, which is unethical, confusing to all involved, and would lead to further confusion and incoherence as the conversation progressed.
To be fair, the Fed is going to bail out social security as well when they buy Treasuries to replenish the SS trust fund gap. The path to an attempted soft landing is inflating away the constraints the economy is encountering. We’re going to print, not repay, our way out of this.
I have, and I generally agree. Rust’s tooling is fantastic. Compiler needs a speed up, but impressive work all around. Would like to be able to use it more often.
You’re in denial. Your country is doing this, theres incontestable evidence already. At least take in the facts and say you don’t care or that it’s your country’s business what they do internally but keeping on denying it doesn’t do anything at this point. The cat’s out of the bag already!

To be honest I don't understand the rationale here - the criteria seem somewhat arbitrary - but I don't think Apple is being inconsistent in applying the criteria.
I feel that the media narrative is race is what drives inequity, but it certainly feels more like race is just a convenient scapegoat. In the end, it's all about concentration of power.
Same, they were my preferred platform for secure messaging, which is bizarre when you think about the fact that this wasn't even their original purpose. I guess this was indicative of the general lack of a single defined direction the product was going in near the time of the Zoom acquisition. What a shame. Hopefully someone makes something similar.
IKEA mattresses have lasted fine for me - and they come with a 25 year warranty.
You have to feel for the developer here, they knew they were taking a risk in using an unauthorized API, but they went for it anyway and now they are facing the music.

I understand Apple's position here, especially with APIs that control vehicles. It's just a sad fact that Tesla hasn't provided a safe public API to control their cars.
Aren’t interest rates already at zero?

We should I think take note that the head of the Fed is a Trump appointee, and Trump's definition of a "good economy" is one with a booming stock market.

Which is something that pumping $3 trillion into M2 will certainly achieve.

In my experience [pre-covid, city], Whole Foods was just a place to pick up lunch then walk back to your tech office tower or hipster coworking space.

I don't see much value in it other than either an Amazon Fresh staging point or picking up lunch and a sparkling water - in general I don't even see people using carts. At best a basket, typical they just carry a beverage in one hand and a paper box of whatever they got from the hot/cold bar with the other.
It used to be that the Fed's message was "Keeping low interest rates and doing QE is okay because prices are stable."

Now their message is "Keeping low interest rates and doing QE is okay because prices are only a little unstable."

No, I don’t think that’s accurate.

With stripe.js, you send the cc info directly to stripe from the browser. Stripe returns an identifier which you can use in the future to charge the card.

Assuming other payment processors work similarly, you could easily send the credit card details to multiple payment processors directly from the browser to the payment processors, and then store the card identifiers from each processor (not the card number) in your database to charge it at a later date.

I don't think your analogy is a correct one.

Here's something from 538:

"A 2018 study conducted by Loungani and others looked at 153 recessions in 63 countries between 1992 and 2014 and found that the vast majority were missed by economists in both the public and private sector. This was painfully true in the case of the global financial crisis in 2008, which wasn’t officially declared a recession until it had been going for almost a year."

Economists apparently can't predict the future. And they don't seem to be able to "predict" the present, or the recent past.

So I guess in your analogy, it would be something like, "We were driving at night with an economist in the country, and they said, 'There are no boulders ahead that I can see'", and then you hit a boulder, car was totalled, you were severely injured, spent months in recovery, and then 9 months later the economist gets back to you with, "Recent data confirms that we did, indeed, hit a boulder."

I think your argument is an argument from authority. If you can't "predict" the past, you are not an authority.

I guess that any kind of bail-out (of stocks, or banks, or owners of real estate, or whatever) will inevitably help to sustain and increase concentration of power.

How might the nervous system have evolved?

Wikipedia says: "Action potentials, which are necessary for neural activity, evolved in single-celled eukaryotes. These use calcium rather than sodium action potentials, but the mechanism was probably adapted into neural electrical signalling in multicellular animals. In some colonial eukaryotes such as Obelia electrical signals do propagate not only through neural nets, but also through epithelial cells in the shared digestive system of the colony."

So, the first "thought" was "hungry, want food"?

And everything we do to get to the 7/11 for snacks is built on that?
You can have a blanket. It’s just that we need to know what happens under it.
There's another "feature" which I rarely hit, and I don't even know how I did, what it's called or for, but when it happens, a draggable divider shows up in the middle of the screen, all my windows get "crushed" on the left side, and the right side is a dark blue/purple blank. I can drag the divider to restore the desktop, but it seriously angers me since none of my windows' original positions nor sizes get restored. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to disable it either. I believe it appeared starting with Win8, as I never saw it in earlier versions.

I think it’s very unfair to paint trump in that light. Stock market is the main focus for any president, but that’s because companies on the stock market employed A TON of PEOPLE. Of course there are companies who lay-off while stocks go vertical, but in general, stock prices rise allow companies to raise capital and hire more workers.

What the fuck?

Texas one seems like it was ruled unenforceable in 2008.
The hint on the wealth inequality is this:

"In earlier decades when the Phillips curve was steeper, inflation tended to rise noticeably in response to a strengthening labor market"

It doesn't really matter much to the market if people are employed or not. Purchasing power is not vested in the people with a W-2.
The real line is that Apple claims what they can. If Apple tried to claim 30% off furniture no one would shop for furniture on the phone. If they tried to claim 30% from ride sharing, people would get pissed off enough to switch to Android.

So why not ads then? Well Apple doesn't have insight into the ad spending, and they are not a middle man to the cash transfer. They could try to force themselves into that position, say "if you want to have ads in your app, you have to use our SDK for that". But if they tried such a stunt, then Google and Facebook, would become very powerful very motivated enemies.

Yeah, pressure differentials are no joke. Look at the Byford Dolhin incident [1]:

> Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

Yep, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_obscenity_statute

Looks like its never been enforced though. Really though laws that are not enforced are a bad thing because some day they could selectively be enforced. Also because they are not enforced and hence not affecting anyone, no one cares to get rid of them.

"The Obscene Device Law is a Texas statute prohibiting the sale of sex toys. The law was introduced in 1973, and was last updated in 2003. While the law was never formally repealed, in 2008 a U.S. District Judge released a report declaring it to be "facially unconstitutional and unenforceable"."
We're funding the upliftment of Chinese citizens, at the cost of the millions of unemployed in our own home countries. And that according to you is still a good thing?

I'm pretty late to this, but your statistics are smartphones shipped, which isn't really representative because people with iPhones tend to use their particular model for longer than Android users, which go through phones quicker for one reason or another. I was going off of operating system market share, which is primarily determined by web browser user agents. It is more representative of active phone users and doesn't need to rely on who's buying a new phone or who's sticking with their older one.

Again, the smartphone manufacturing market isn't in question, it's the software markets that are tied to those smartphones.

I argue Zoom does understand GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive from a legal perspective.

The specific citation about the length of a cookie is a recommendation and not a law[0]. The key word is 'should'.

I'm not a lawyer nor claim the ability to interpret GDPR legally, but I have seen companies that actively worked to edge case GDPR to their advantage (I was part of one). We would have lawyers and other 'GDPR experts' tell us what was possible and what wasn't then simply extend into the grey area.

>it runs against the "growing wealth inequality" narrative

There are two things happening at the same time. The bottom is doing a little better than they were (lower poverty rate, lower unemployment, education gains, and even income improvement). At the same time, the top is doing amazing. So you get two different narratives that are both true.

There is growing inequality.

The bottom is doing better.

You shouldn't ignore either one. If you fixate too much on inequality, you can push the bottom back down (everyone has nothing is very equal). If you ignore the inequality, society starts to crack.

It's actually going to soon be worth more than all the major automakers on planet Earth combined. At the rate it's going, it'll hit that mark within a month or two.

That includes: VW, Porsche, GM, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan Renault, PSA, Suzuki. Combined.

Regardless of however long the ongoing stock market mania lasts, it's obviously going to obliterate a large number of shareholders on the way back down. There is no scenario where Tesla can fill in even a modest amount of that market cap.

Toyota is their absolute most extreme best case scenario. Toyota is worth less than 1/2 what Tesla is today. It would take decades for Tesla to get as large and profitable as Toyota if everything works out perfectly.
I know this is counterintuitive but in order to spur growth, and encourage the right type of risk taking which is how you end up with innovations, I believe you need to have interest rates above a certain threshold. Indefinite ZIRP discourages risk taking and encourages financial growth arrangements.

IBD is very different from IBS. IBD is an autoimmune disease with a pathologic diagnosis (ie requires a biopsy and microscopic evaluation for diagnosis). It’s treated as almost autoimmune diseases are.

IBS is a syndrome (the S in the name) which usually implies a constellation of findings, but not a specific disease process. From the name you can know that the disease process hasn’t been clearly elucidated.
