For the record, reserve requirements are not universal. Canada, for one, eliminate theirs in 1992:

The main thing limiting how much Canadian banks can lend out would be to remain profitable: too many loans, to too many bad investment ideas, means losses.

None? Passing the PE exam is no joke. An engineering degree only counts as four years (half) of the experience required to take the test.

Vitamin D is a hormone and it seems pretty clear that it plays a significant role in a number of body processes that contribute to overall health, so it doesn't seem likely that it is just a marker; it actually does help you directly, so it still makes sense to use supplements to raise your Vitamin D level if it's low.

What might well be true, IMO, is that if your Vitamin D level is low, and you can't get it back to normal with just sun exposure (which might well be an issue for people living at high latitudes, or as people age, since as I understand it your body's ability to synthesize Vitamin D from sun exposure decreases with age), you should not assume that supplements alone will be enough to protect your health. There might be other things you could do differently that would also help. In other words, low Vitamin D might be both a problem in itself (i.e., you need to get the level up) and an indirect indication of some other problem (which won't be solved just by getting the level up).

The problem is that, if the latter is the case, nobody seems to know very much about what other problems low Vitamin D might be an indication of, or what other interventions might be indicated if your Vitamin D is low, besides supplementation to get the level up. The only real advice that seems to be indicated, based on what we know now, is to take better care of your health in general--eat better, exercise more, get more sleep, etc.
When the government borrows money like the US does, then it is setting itself up to either run a hefty surplus or go with money printing. Both of those are pretty unpleasant for someone (either borrowers or savers). So yes, fiscal policy is where the eventual pain is locked in.

But, and I feel there is being something lost to semantics in this thread, we have an article reporting "the U.S. money supply has grown 20%". Given that the US economy has been partially shut down for most of that time it is hard to see what that can be described as except money printing. The alternatives are polite euphemisms for money printing or appeals to it all somehow being so complicated a measured >20% change doesn't count.

I still don't understand why people are so keen to let the government go unchecked (we don't send our best & brightest to be politicians) and to keep kicking salary earners to the benefit of asset earners (pretty sure we all earn a salary).
Woohoo, finally a cheaper homepod!
I was looking forward to something like this to be able to remotely control my Home Assistant setup through Homebridge Hue.

Without having dedicated Apple TV/iPad/Homepod at home, you can't access devices in Home app, even if you have VPN.

This meant that even at home I had to unlock the phone and wait for it to connect to Wifi before Siri would do anything with devices. This delay made it impractical to use Siri for controlling devices through Siri.

Maybe it's possible to make it work with VPN by also forwarding some autodiscovery packets, but I'm not sure.
> Even though we get paid a good chunk in the USA, our overall benefit package is thin in comparison to other developed countries.

What do you mean by this? I mean I guess I get less PTO than other countries, but I get way more pay. I could just take a month of unpaid vacation if I wanted to, and still make more than my European counterparts. Tech also gets great healthcare (unless you work for a startup or something I'd guess).

Not disagreeing that unions would probably be a net-positive for tech workers, but saying that tech in the USA gets a worse "benefit package" is pretty dishonest.
Usually, a big part of attribution is the reuse of specific TTPs (tactics/tools/procedures), malware components, and components of C&C infrastructure - sophisticated attacks are tool-heavy, the tools are custom and generally not distributed much (even within the same country - e.g. it appears that in Russia the military intelligence and foreign intelligence units don't share much of their tooling/infrastructure with each other for some political reasons), you don't/can't recreate all that code from scratch for every single attack, so there's inevitably reuse that allows you to link some attacks to others. Since there are some earlier attacks where we can link particular actions not only to a country, but to specific people in specific organizations, usually due to some mistake on their behalf, it's sometimes possible to also determine the attribution of new atacks with reasonable certainty.

It's been a hot, hot minute from my econ degree, but here goes...

I believe the big question of "Where is the inflation" has to do with lending excess reserves. The amount banks have to keep in reserve is set, but it changes. They can lend the balance after that, although there's a rate set by the fed that also works as a lending/holding incentive too.

"Excess reserves are capital reserves held by a bank or financial institution in excess of what is required by regulators, creditors or internal controls. For commercial banks, excess reserves are measured against standard reserve requirement amounts set by central banking authorities"

So, this money actually hasn't really hit circulation. It doesn't really explain what's up with the SP (perhaps: credit based on reserve holdings, to hand wave a ton of complexity...), but it explains why there's no direct pipeline from Fed money prints -> my wallet -> CPI.
If you're into this sort of thing and in the Northeast, the American Precision Museum in Windsor, VT is worth a visit. Among other things, they have Bridgeport milking machine number 1.

A lot of the original work in precision manufacturing was in the arms industry. Interchangeable parts in rifles were a huge deal when they came about: no longer did you need a skilled gunsmith to individually fettle replacement parts when a gun needed repair, you could swap one worn part for another in less time and closer to the action.
It's also unfortunate that many iOS apps have totally neglected support for 4" devices and it's all too common to see apps in which the viewport is far too small due to other UI elements covering the screen (e.g. Uber and Google Maps).
You're right, housing inflation measurement != house-price inflation measurement.

Not sure how much that distinction really affects the median person though, if housing (rent) inflation is under control. I suppose people with kids may prefer to buy for long-term consistency, so CPI misses them in a way.

> Letting someone take a San Francisco salary to Wyoming could be considered unfair to present and future remote hires in cheaper cities who might receive a lower wage.

I genuinely think that people who were thinking that this is not going to happen are disillusion. Their employers have one single and easy goal - maximize the shareholder value. So, no matter how humanitarian it would be to keep SF salaries to employees working from all around the world, nobody will sign the decision to do that, unless it's coming from the CEOs & boards & public markets. I would encourage everyone to look on how Gitlab is approaching this problem: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/02/28/why-we-pay-local-ra...
There exists many values of X where borrowing money from X constitutes printing money. For example, when you borrow money from a bank, the bank prints money. It credits your account with new money, it does not transfer money into your account from another account.

It's fairly straightforward to prove that increasing the size of the government deficit = printing money.

1. The first step is that the government prints debt (a Treasury instrument, for example). I think we would agree on this.

2. The government then needs to monetize the debt... essentially swapping the new debt with reserves held by some bond buyer. There is no shortage of reserves (this is certainly true today. But even when there were reserve requirements, or in the time before 2008, there was still practically no shortage of reserves. I can provide a separate explanation for this). You may stop and say "but what if there is no bond buyer?" or "but what if there are bond vigilantes?" US banks will always swap excess USD reserves (where excess means beyond what is necessary for settlement) for USD treasury instruments because the latter pays higher interest.

3. The government now spends its reserves, transferring from the US Treasury to a private bank upon making purchases. This becomes new bank credit, aka freshly printed money. In other words, a private bank receives reserves via the Fed's payment system and must credit the recipient's private checking account with new money.

4. The reserves that were considered "excess reserves" in step 2 are now back in the banking system, ready to be swapped again for new debt instruments.

In other words, the net impact on private bank balance sheets is, just from fiscal spending (no activity from the Fed other than as a payment/settlement system):

- The assets side gains a treasury instrument

- The liabilities side is credited with new money caused by purchases by the US Treasury. This is spendable US dollars.

- No change is seen in the quantity of bank reserves
It probably gets more clicks if you talk about pay cut and tension, but if companies are expected to compensate for higher cost of living, shouldn't they be equally expected to take it away if a person moves to lower cost of living.

Moreover, let's assume the pay cut doesn't happen - what about the people who don't or can't move. Isn't this unfair to them.

Also, what about the gaming of the system. A person could ask for a higher salary saying they are in, or relocating to, the BA, then within a few months, or even days, of joining they move out.

It seems like with Apple, any piece of tech with exactly one use tends to wither away and die. Now that the processor for the Apple Watch is on another device, it may show up somewhere else. Since this is wall powered, I don't think that bodes well for my hope that they release an Apple Watch that is smaller or has longer battery life (smaller often means smaller battery).

It seems like they always bring a new SoC in under their last commoditized SoC. What's the next smallest thing for them to stuff a new SoC into? Airpods?

Having now read the top 5 articles for that search term, I still haven't found one that makes the claim your suggesting.

I'm sure if I dig hard enough I could find that someone has said it non-ironically, but if I dig hard enough I can find someone saying the moon landing didn't happen or talking about lizard people non-ironically. That doesn't make it a mainstream movement.

On the one hand, it's a bit of a cyclical argument - The only thing holding together social order is social order. On the other, the same is true of anything which is relied upon on for life and dependent on ongoing financial exchange - Food, water, housing (if you rent). If a lot of excess capital suddenly flooded into those markets and gobbled up stock/pushed up demand, joe average could be priced out.

All kinds of chaos manifests when that happens. Look at nations that experienced hyperinflation for examples of how it might go.

What's not so clear is what might prompt it to happen.
Any average including 2008-2011, is not a meaningful way to think about what is average historically in terms of US monetary supply.

That period was the beginning of a paradigm shift in terms of how the US enacted monetary policy, which was on top of another paradigm shift that had occurred with the Greenspan Era.

Which is to say we are in extremely uncharted territory. If you took average measurements of a star in the initial periods of a supernova, you would get a very strange understanding of what is average for that star although technically the figures would be valid averages.

> Why couldn’t we fill in the lightning port and use flush surface contacts, like the MagSafe of yesteryear?

I don't remember MagSafe on macbooks ever being truly flush. It was less deep of a port than USB, sure, but it was still a port.

As for why not, there could be many reasons, but I have a feeling it might have something to do with their waterproof/dustproof rating. That's just a pure speculation on my end though.

Or, more likely, it is simply because swapping the lightning port with a magsafe one would make the phone pretty much impossible to use while charging. But with a lightning port + magsafe wireless charging, you get to have both use cases covered (using while charging with lightning, drop off for an overnight charge on your magsafe charging surface).
I'm not saying that we didn't print money this year. I'm arguing over how we measure the quantity of the money supply. I am saying that government debt = the quantity of money.

"The federal government ran a budget deficit of $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2020, CBO estimates, more than triple the shortfall recorded in 2019"

By my definition, we did print $3.1 trillion of money this year.

I don't go by the size of the Fed balance sheet as money supply. There are many reasons for this, and plenty of people on this thread are trying to explain this view point.
