Wealthy entities in those countries must be accumulating surplus fiat currency at a loss to themselves in order to suppress CPI inflation (maybe to artificially prevent the economy from crashing). But that's temporary. Whoever these entities are will eventually realize that this loss in value is not going to be recoverable and they will be forced to dump their fiat eventually. All the stored up CPI inflation will be released in a very short amount of time.

You can't increase the supply of a currency (or anything else) without it losing value unless the supply of goods can keep up with the supply of currency but that doesn't appear to be the case these days. The best you can do is hide the surplus currency from the markets as long as possible. But eventually, something will happen which will force the hidden currency to enter the markets.

Also, there is a myth that technology is causing exponential growth in efficiency but the reality of the last 10 years is that everything has been getting more bureaucratic and less efficient (I'm a software engineer so I've seen this first hand).
The value comes from decreasing the value of the currency for everyone else.

Every additional banknote you put into circulation reduces the value of every existing banknote by a teeny-tiny bit.
can you elaborate on that? Are you talking about the "registry-mirrors" option of the docker daemon?
That's firmware for the GPU, not "the main RPi OS."

The firmware for your PC or its GPU is almost certainly closed source as well.
The requirement of transactional consistency is one of the ways you identify a bounded domain in DDD. Well aggregates at least.

If you require transaction consistency across multiple microservices. They are to small.

If you don't require transactional consistency across microservices that's ok. Therefor they can be in separate databases anyway and messaging can be used.

Through monetary policy. When the Fed creates a dollar it destroys a dollar of assets, e.g. by buying a bond.

Fiscal policy is different. When Congress appropriates it creates new money. That impacts the real economy differently. (This is why every crisis involves central bankers calling for fiscal stimulus. It is more powerful.)

Agreed, I love the site greatly as well. As a data point though, the one time I found an error there I mailed the maintainer a fairly detailed writeup with sources, but I never heard back and the entry never changed.

(The error was for "anime", which etymonline has being derived from French, but which Japanese sources widely agree is just an abbreviation of "animation".)
What about I randomly generate a number, add it to the illegal number to get a result. Is the resulting number illegal or not? (Thinking about it mathematically, the resulting number's distribution isn't really affected by the illegal number - Maybe we can practically find something by taking a lot of generated numbers and analyzing the apparent distribution)

Another idea is to generate a random number and multiply it with an illegal prime. If the illegal prime is a sufficiently large number; we can extract the original illegal prime with very high confidence by just finding its prime factors and picking the shortest one.

Setting aside whether Deep Learning can do everything, would you want to do everything with deep learning? We don't use Quantum Physics for mechanical engineering, we use Newtonian Physics because it is at the right abstraction level for these purposes. Similarly, there are other abstractions possibly to talk about causal reasoning or consciousness (he did say everything!)

Also, he mischaracterizes Symbol Systems. A symbolic system has two important properties - Composability (you can combine parts to make new things just like words are combined to make sentences) and Distal Access (a part can stand for something else. For e.g., a word like Justice stands for a complex concept. Very similar to naming something). Nearly 40 years ago, Newell also talked about the various levels of an AI system - Implementation Level, Algorithmic Level, and the functional level. Neural Networks etc are at the implementation level, Deep Learning lies at the Algorithmic level, and symbolic systems are at the functional level (i.e., they describe function not how that function is implemented). A symbol system is not at odds with a neural network or deep learning although there are those who say that neural networks can never implement a symbol system.
DANGER DANGER DANGER

I have been writing software in the corporate world for 15 years. There is a common, though not universal, pattern I have noticed in interviewing. When you interview like Bill Gates you are set up for success... at least during the internet. Most of the time there are more people competing for a given position than there are positions available, which suggests competition. I interviewed once for a position where 22 people interviewed and got the job. Another time, current job, I was one of 79 people hired for 9 available positions and was the only senior developer hired (the rest came in as juniors). It's not because I'm awesome. It's because of practice. I'm old and I do this outside the office.

When you are competing for a position you want to sound like an excellent developer with tremendous potential. You need to beat the competition to attain the job. You need to be on your A game and focused to perform like an elite rock star, though not arrogant. There is a difference between performing like a rock star and bullshitting. Any half competent interviewer can easily tell the difference. Either you are the best, you are pretending to be something you aren't, or you are exactly what you are which isn't the best.

There in is the problem. In the corporate world rarely is there any place for test best. Maybe on some experimental research team or advanced product pioneer for the fashionable FAANG things are different, but for everybody else there is the mediocre corporate standard. In most large companies there isn't a need for elite developers. In most cases there are frameworks and tools that do most of your job for you. You only have to wire a few conventions together. Mediocre. This has numerous second and third order consequences from tenure, pay, motivation, cohesion, and so forth.
It's called "value added" because it's a tax on profit, and everyone in the supply chain pays it.

Datapane | Backend Python / Linux Engineer | London, UK | REMOTE | https://angel.co/company/datapane/jobs

Remote startup building Python-based data analytics and reporting that live in the browser - Datapane is looking for an exceptional Python / Linux backend engineer to join our team.

This includes working on backend code (primarily in Python) that spans from our web application to the rest of our cloud and on-prem architecture, including Linux containers that run our highly-available PaaS, microservices scheduling and communications, data-science processing code, and more.

For this role, you need strong Python and Linux experience, along with good knowledge of cloud architectures and (distributed) systems development, including Redis, gRPC, and Kubernetes, and be excited to pick up the new technologies and skills - for instance we use NixOS for our on-prem deployments. As a data analytics company, any knowledge of Pandas, numpy, and the associated Python data science and visualisation stack would be extremely helpful.

You should like the idea of releasing to real customers regularly, and prioritise getting a great product into users’ hands for feedback and iteration. You will have extensive scope to build and architect the backend, and grow the team in the future.

We're fully remote, however some timezone overlap with UTC is preferable, and subscribe to the GitLab global salary calculator - https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c... .

DM or see https://angel.co/company/datapane/jobs/1041196-backend-pytho... for more info. Cheers!

> They deprive everyone else of investment income.

Who that “everyone else” might be and what percentage of the population does “everyone else” represent in this context?

Keep in mind that there are other reasons they economy works the way it does. The end goal of a central bank or a government is not (contrary to popular belief) make investors rich, the end goal is stability and possibly prosperity for the society at large.
I must say, I find it ugly as well; I prefer e.g. 100 000 over 100_000. It's the "easy to parse" solution, I guess.
It doesn't disregard mathematics at all. Quite the contrary — it separates mathematics from the intent of the mathematician.

The number itself isn't illegal, because it can come from any number of contexts. What's illegal is wilfully working towards generating that number while knowing its purpose as a key. It's just the principle of Mens Rea at work.

Used as you suggest, there’s a good chance a fishing/scam email will go through since it only affects spam score.

I’ve had several scam emails, including from @paypal addresses, which did pass my mail service’s filter, but flagged by the DKIM verifier.

I want defense in depth; I’m ok with the occasional visible false warning. Rotating DKIM keys often makes it unusable on the mail client. (Not sure that’s a problem with DKIMs intended use, but if keys are rotated slowly enough - e.g. once a month - it’s usable for that too)

"and no one has a flipping clue what does what"

This has been my experience too. We got rid of monolithic VMs running generic Linux systems (that were well understood and easy to reason about and fix by the entire team) and replaced them with hundreds of Lambda functions written in Java Script. The complexity, cost and vendor lock-in is insane. The Tech world has become irrational and emotion driven and needs an intervention.
Building your own was not an option back then, but seems to the more popular option today. It seems logical - who likes to loose warranty because of a component swap?
Stop hemorrhaging cash in 5 minutes with Compoundly.com
What we do: Compoundly empowers retail investors to take charge of their financial future. With our proprietary tool that assesses mysterious investment fees, retail investors are provided with a deep, yet manageable, understanding of their investment fee structures. After understanding how investment fees strip their life savings (typically to the tune of 33-50%), investors are motivated to leverage Compoundly's expert negotiators to reduce their fees or switch brokerages altogether.

Why I'm reaching out: We're validating our value prop, namely, negotiating fees down on behalf of retail investors. I need to speak with advisors to see if the average fee reduction is, indeed, .25%.

The ask: If you have an investment advisor/broker, I would love to hop on the phone with them and lower your fees - for free. I cannot make changes to your investments (I'm not an investment advisor).

What you get: Beyond lowering your fees for free, I'd be happy to help test your beta, or hop on a call where you could pick my brain regarding startup legal questions.

Why should you trust us? I'm a licensed attorney and would be happy to send references.

If you're interested, please email me at mario@compoundly.com.

Thank you!
The question is whether that moral owner can successfully compete in the unregulated marketplace. The answer is clearly No, which is why regulation is needed.

Revenue tax is charged in the same location as VAT though, you just cannot offset it with the VAT you pay (or between two companies, it’s never zero).
Then, I would say, you would be publishing a fact about pi, not pi itself. These facts do not yield pi in any finite time.
IBM and Red Hat weren't really in competition so, it makes sense that Linux mostly benefited them. I don't recall ever seeing anyone use an IBM workstation. The only places I've seen them used is for kiosks and POS.

Nate's probabilities are based on the electoral college, not the popular vote, so calling which way individual states goes is by definition necessary for a good evaluation.
Prediction: the "infringement," definition will expand to cover anything that enables people to limit the surveillance capabilities of their devices, or to organize themselves socially outside official tech platforms.

People thought the DMCA was just about entertainment, but it's about regulating culture and how it impacts politics. Literally the "means of production," for culture.

I had included a list in this comment of what I was betting were next on the list of "infringing" technologies, but why give them a map? If there is a legal precedent that can be leveraged and abused to an authoritarian end, expect it to be so in the near term.
VAT is a tax on revenue from the last purchaser, but not on revenue for each company.
Huh? It doesn't exist.

Systems that have tried to work toward it are extremely centrally planned and heavily regulated such as the NYSE.

Retail plans to have a free market exchange, say of healthcare providers, say, in the affordable care act, also have lots of central planning and government regulation.

The efforts to get to a free market have been some of the most complexly planned and regulated government systems ever created.

It's necessary to try to secure the required guarantees. How are you going to get everyone to agree on the same way of informing a price? How are you going to get equal access to all options? How are you going to get a friction free transfer? Make sure firms stay competing and not carteling, collaborating, or colluding etc ... the answer is government government government. These things don't happen on their own.
Aside: I am new to a lot of the economic terms mentioned in the article but I am curious about its content.

The old shoe store in my small town had one in the corner. My Dad asked about it. The clerk said it was dangerous and didn't want to use it. We kids were disappointed.

That was post WWII, so I don't know how long it'd been there. The fluoroscope I mean; the shoe store had been there for decades.
Housing is included in CPI. Housing is included as rent, and owner-adjusted rent (what rent would be if a house was rented).

Housing purchase prices aren’t included because a house isn’t consumed within a year. The price of a house represents both current and future housing consumption. It’s not some conspiracy to hide inflation.
Salesfit: Marketing Intelligence for Startups
Hi guys!

TBH, I wasn't the most active person here. Frankly, I didn't have the account till today and was really passive since I saw there is always someone with as valuable answer as mine, at least.

But today I want to share important topic for me. Our startup: Salesfit.io is launched on Product Hunt!

Salesfit is a marketing intelligence for startups and ecommerce. Since our official launch in September, we are here to help every marketer who needs to set his targeting, lead-gen and customer journey straight and make (not only) his Ads as profitable as possible.
Today we have joined the Product Hunt community. Please feel free to share and comment. And let us know – are we the startup worth upvoting?

Tangent. People are still getting conned when it comes to shoes. Custom designed soles, with padding in the "right" places based on the shape of your foot, in order to "absorb impact" or "correct overpronation". Which is nonsense and unnecessary unless you have foot deformities. Your foot is perfectly capable of absorbing impact and whatnot. This is all marketing aimed at gullible new runners who want to go from couch to marathon without taking the time to learn proper running technique and without giving their bodies time to adapt to running. All the while ingraining and reinforcing bad running habits. But at least we're no longer xraying people's feet for no apparent reason, so that's a start.

It's not my style. It reads like a true crime novel. I like concise and matter-of-fact reporting. This has too much fluff and presumptive adjectives/adverbs for me. It seems like the series would probably make a good Netflix "docuseries" (I use quotes because I feel many of them are over dramatized).

This does remind me... the closest articles I've seen to the quality of the OP's posted article I've found on Aeon. It can be hit or miss though.
