> I bring this up to remind you of the government we are dealing with, and the actions they take when times are excessively difficult.

They are referring to an action take in 1933. Almost everyone involved in that decision is dead, from the voters to the president is dead.

> The Fed aims for inflation to try to reduce the debts of the government.

The Fed aims to keep the economy at full employment and inflation stable.

> the Fed however, has had great difficulty in stimulating economic inflation in recent years, in large part due to the naturally deflationary effects of technology and automation.

The Fed has had problems stimulating inflation and growth recently recently. This has nothing to do with technology and automation and everything to do with interest rates being so very low. (which is caused by a global savings glut, and an aging population) Also we had no problem with deflation in the 70's even though we were also automating jobs and advancing technology.

> Now that you understand your part in the economy from the perspective of central banks and economists.

This isn't even a strawman. This makes me thing that he's never actually read a mainstream economists. And that his only experience with mainstream economics, is other people ranting about mainstream economics.

But the biggest critique of all, is that even if his "theories" (which are all a somewhere between wrong and a stretch) are correct the conclusion doesn't follow. Imagine we're in a depression and a large chunk of the populace prefers bitcoins to dollars. This will cause them to spend dollars, keeping people from hoarding dollars, and keeping the velocity up. This only really becomes and issue if salaries become denominated in bitcoin. And there are a lot of reasons you don't want to pay someone a bitcoin salary, and a lot of reasons you don't want to be paid a bitcoin salary. With one of the biggest being the tax implications.

The title is alarmist and IMO very, very unlikely (global economy, ban being practically unenforceable, crypto-native assets getting integrated in incumbent financial institutions etc).

That being said, the points raised and the concerns about harmful regulation is worth taking seriously.

More specifically, now with the digital assets "travel rule" ratified by the FATF (which is expected and on its way to result in legislation in most global jurisdications). A bit oversimplified: Any VASP (virtual asset service provider ~= private business holding, transmitting, issuing or exchanging digital assets on behalf of customers) are expected to request and verify information of wallet holders (the usual KYC/AML with name/passport/etc) for any ingoing and outgoing transfers. They are also expected to send this information onward to any other VASP they transfer to on behalf of users (e.g. if you transfer BTC from your Kraken account to a friends' Coinbase account, Kraken and Coinbase are on the hook to coordinate this information between each other).

In practice, forcing any business that touches digital assets to draconian regulation can be very effective in hampering adoption - IMO we've already seen a similar thing play out where tax requirements for both individuals and businesses coupled with regulatory uncertainty have made it an accounting nightmare to be fully compliant with retail payments in crypto.

I don't see an outright blanket ban on individuals holding or transacting Bitcoin. But overly restrictive and draconian regulation in some shape or form is very much likely.
i think this is sarcasm? but not sure.
The financial elite are done taking everything of value from the little people. If they still want more, and they always do, they are going to have to go after their own kind.

Yes, the distribution of torque is very important and is the reason for AWD. But the amount of torque is not. When it's treacherous out even 5% of a normal cars HP/Torque is plenty.

I've heard the FWD + snow tires beats AWD + all seasons before and personally I don't believe it, but it's a pretty subjective thing. The big win for AWD is predictability and control, not that I want to go around corners sideways at 100 mph rally style. Having control over the car, even when sliding, without any rear or front bias just makes for a MUCH more controllable car.

My Subaru forester with AWD and all seasons handled numerous treacherous conditions, sometimes so bad that every highway around me was closed. I used to do 6 7200 foot passes every weekend, often in the middle of storms dropping 2-3 feet. My main problem on the roads was others that don't know how to drive and block the roads.

I've driven roads so slick that going too slow would cause you to slide off the road. I'd have to apply torque, while sliding, to keep the 10-15 mph required to avoid sliding to the inside of every banked turn. Which would be MUCH harder with FWD or RWD.

Amusingly at chain control points, often the workers would look back in the line, see my Subaru and pull me out of line and let me go through with a smile and a wave. Presumably because there are (or weren't anyways) any non-AWD Subarus (this was before the BRX) and Subarus aren't the typical cars getting stuck and causing problems.

Sure AWD and snow tires is even better, just seems overkill for the highways in the high sierras.
I had my domain taken over while on Gandi. Interestingly they didn't do it via customer support, but instead were directly in contact with Gandi's legal department. Their legal guys approved the request/order without thinking to actually verify anything at all. Funnily enough, I had way more trouble getting my domain back than the people who stole it.

As far as I can tell, Google, Cloudflare and Namecheap are really the only guys in town that don't fall for stupid shit.
They could have been put in the massive empty emergency facilities they put up but never used.

They were cramming sick elderly people into nursing homes with perfectly healthy people; nursing homes without individual rooms! They were packing sick people next to unsick people. It literally killed thousands.

Janice Dean covers all the details very well in her podcast with Megyn Kelly, including reasonable countermeasures they could have taken instead of cramming sick elderly people together:

Why do you not consider this as valid? Nursing homes were the primary spread for COVID cases back in March/April and there is more than enough damning evidence against both Como and Whitmer.

As in Sweden?

You can simply compare them to Denmark, Norway and Finland on infection rates, death toll and economic impact. If those countries manage to immunise their populations quickly then Sweden's approach was a huge failure in comparison.

But more to the point Sweden has now started trying to mandate restrictions and lockdowns as their health system is struggling and relying on public goodwill to do the right thing just isn't enough.
>Welcome to marketing.

>It’s also crazy to me that China isn’t facing more severe backlash for the treatment of the Uyghurs.

Yeah, welcome to marketing indeed.

China is not treating Uyghurs any worse than the US is treating black people or Mexicans. In fact, China is doing exactly what the U.S. is doing to minorities: jailing them and making inmates more productive with prison labor.
How long were the trials? I recall a famous drug that was given in the 70s and it produced birth malformations. Took years for doctors to realize the cause and ban its use in pregnant women. Is there a possibility of unforeseen consequences from using RNA? What if someone has for XYZ reason more reverse transcriptase than usual? Will his-her DNA be altered?

> 2020 has pretty much robbed me of what empathy I had left. It's insane how selfish we have become.

When I start thinking along these lines, I consider the doctors and nurses, firefighters/EMS, vaccine researchers, food bank volunteers, grocery store workers, open-source data volunteers, ... “Look for the helpers,” as Mr. Rogers said.

I think that many people have been conscientious during the pandemic. They aren’t visible - they only show up in year-over-year measures of reduced traffic, etc.

None of this obviates my frustration at the political and cultural response to the pandemic. Covidiots and maskholes still piss me off, but I don’t think they’re the whole story.
There's also been hubris from epidemiologists because they're not politicians, economists, or experts in human behavior, and this very much isn't just a problem of a virus spreading.
Right. Just what you get when it's hilly, slippery, and you have a bunch of FWD that can't climb.
Which is also true of Australia which has had instant runoff voting for nearly a century.

I would suggest you look at the actual examples in the wild, and see if they have FPTP (or party proportional representation, which is essentially FPTP with all the same spoiler effects), and which don't, and see if they match your expectations to any degree better than random chance.

You can prove just about anything in "math" in a vacuum. The recent push for FPTP really strikes me as the kind of wonk stuff that people bend themselves around as a huge fix, when the reality is it empirically doesn't do what people thinks it should do, and comes with it's own problems. It's a lot of wasted political capital for very little if no benefit.
This is really confusing... the ex-girlfriend and Warner had the same attorney? Who was both calling the police on behalf of the woman and telling them Warner was a threat, and then stating on his behalf that he didn't agree to any searches? I don't see how this would have not have been a serious conflict of interest that would have required the lawyer to stop representing either or both parties.
Why does the cert say Cloudflare and not Visa?

It says "Verified by: Cloudflare, Inc." AND Organization is also Cloudflare, Inc.

Shouldn't the Organization be Visa?

How do I know that this is Visa?

According to the Twitter thread, Microsoft made a deal with Godaddy that makes them the default domain registrar for Office360.
Whoa that's a bit of a US Centric broad brush there. "Most Western Countries" - there's more to the West than the US, UK and less than half a dozenish who have or are doing that.

A small or non existent government sounds great.

As you said it yourself, they can't know the perfect rules for everything - and the reason is that different laws (and their tradeoff when dealing with others) are best for different people.

Private courts and private insurances tending to their customers need could offer a society where different needs are met by different laws.

Inflation is slightly less upfront than a wealth tax on dollars that would involve you sending in a form every year. Generally speaking anything less than the most upfront option will result in large numbers of people not realizing what's going on.

That said, Li-FES2 primary cells (at 400Wh/kg) have well over twice the energy density to LiPo/LCO rechargables (at 190 Wh/kg).
If I can make a custom 7" bi-blade quadcopter fly for 30 minute, 40 minutes is doable with better battery density.

In my own builds it is much easier to get long flight times with larger props but that is probably on account of the lesser need for exotic material science at larger scales.
Many non-technical founders go to them for the domain. By the time technical people (who know better) are involved the domain is already purchased and presumably transferring it out isn't prioritized.
The specific religious war going on is between people who believe all human interactions are orchestrated through oppression and artificially constructed social constructs which ought to be deconstructed, and those who think that explains at best a subset of interactions, and (generally speaking) a decreasing number of the problematic ones.

In this specific back-and-forth in academia, the underlying difference once you get past superficialities and rhetorical tricks to pull people into one side or the other by glossing over fundamental premises, is not about what speech is permissible or not. Both sides have their views on that claim emerge from their underlying worldviews around how racism, discrimination, gender stereotypes, and things inject themselves into human interactions and what levers exist for affecting those influences.

My use of 'sects' in this example was a bit of a misnomer, I consider the situation going on here to just be a conflict that's emerging due to these divergent worldviews that is localized around a specific community and domain, and the rift is cast in stark relief when situations like this finally manifest.

That's a good point, those contain assumptions that need some backing up because they might not hold up water, even if it's the common perception in politics of American culture.

But otherwise it probably comes down to occams razor and they had some random corporate web guy half-ass the copy on the website which they aren't investing any sort of high quality resources.

It's easy to mistake poor workmanship or miss information as some sort of purposeful evasion.

I'm trying to even understand the question. Assuming you mean "regex" in the programming sense, then the two questions are of completely different domains, and assumming you can say anything about the "hazards" of one given your knowledge of the other sounds like the physicist who assumes that all problems can just be boiled down to some other problem he has a solution to.[1]

The vaccine is in no way shape or form a "regex."

how much I like the product and how much it costs.

I think you are seriously underestimating the utility of walking into a store, seeing a product labeled as XYZ, and being assured that it meets some reasonable definition of XYZ without having to do a bunch of research and/or testing on your own.

Packaged food is an extremely cost-sensitive product category to put it mildly. There is tremendous pressure on these companies to shave off every penny they can when it comes to production costs.

I strongly suggest that we do not want to see what might happen if the FDA didn't enforce some kind of minimum definitions for various categories.

It's not less honest, the federal reserve literally sets targets for inflation and publishes them. Everyone railing against fiat money while loving bitcoin have the exact same views as a government economist. The only difference is that the bitcoin/gold side keeps on trying to think of US Dollars as a store of value while the government and economists know it's a medium of exchange.

The fact that people keep money under mattresses is a failure of the educational system, not a failure of monetary policy.

Leaders making decisions that are wrong (alongside plenty that were right) - well, that’s part of leading. Being called “intentionally stupid” on a message board - well, collect your points as they come, but I don’t buy it.
You are speaking as if you have indisputable facts on your side which doesn't appear to be the case. The Federal government has broad power to respond to communicable diseases and the full extent of those powers can only really be known as new court cases are decided.

There are also steps between what we did and the type of martial law style lockdowns and quarantining done in places like China. You don't need 100% participation in lockdowns or coverage for contact tracing to get the R0 below 1 which will lead to dropping case numbers.
It can also be amended to separate money and speech. A constitutional amendment is the way to rectify poor Supreme Court rulings, the way the 14th amendment was brought in specifically to overturn Dred Scott.
> "In the end the best science always won"

This is very frequently repeated, but I have never encountered any reason to believe it is true. Certainly, better science has been seen to win, in cases, but the amount of shit hurled first has always been enough to drive any sensible person to do something else less likely to attract hurled shit.

We can get a sense of how often correct theories are suppressed by looking at cases where a now-accepted theory was anticipated decades or even centuries earlier, but failed to gain traction at the time, not for lack of evidence, but simply because the evidence was unwelcome.

Theory of causation was understood a full century ago, but suppressed by the statistics mandarinate, and is only in the past 20 years starting to resurface. Evidence conclusively demonstrating human presence in the Americas before 15kya is still routinely dismissed. Requirement for surgeons to wash their hands took decades to catch on; to this day, more hospital ICUs have the traditional 4% incidence of fatal infection than the very gradually spreading 0%. The entire lack of any negative health impact from eating saturated fat was well demonstrated decades ago, but has only been accepted in this decade. These are just cases I know about; most have been better interred.

I am forced to conclude that there remain many more successfully-suppressed correct theories than accepted correct theories, and that things are getting worse, not better. I.e., correct theories still win sometimes, but the fraction of correct theories that win is decreasing in the face of tenured grant committees.
But even if that's true, there's no law of nature that compels Apple to buy from suppliers located in China or locate its operations there. It could cut ties and pull out (and Apple's one of the few companies with the resources to build up new supply chains elsewhere), or it could direct its suppliers to setup new factories outside of China to supply its needs in an easily auditable way.

It may even be easier than that. As far as I can tell, this "Lens Technology" company makes phone cover glass, and Apple already deals with Corning to make other glass components, and I'm sure they'd like the business. It looks like none of their Gorilla Glass factories are inside China.
I have to agree with you here.
I had a very similar experience in NW New Mexico. I expect to go off pavement for this sort of thing, but eventually we faded into what was very uneven dirt. Luckily we could tell someone had come that way in the last day because of an inch or so of fresh snow, so we made it through successfully to the destination where everything was well maintained. We went out the more common route south, but it wasn't that much better.
