Are you really saying that some wealthy people specifically choose to hold extra cash at a loss to themselves to prevent inflation from occuring? It seems like this would easily fall into a tragedy of the commons situation - do you have any citations to back up the enormous claim?
Right now if there was just 1 independent / third-party senator, they would hold all the power.
Counterpoint: Nobody should ever wear employer-branded clothing unless it's a uniform you're required to wear for your job.

Wearing your boss's logo on your free time just looks kind of sad and pathetic, in my opinion.
Doesn’t seem like that at all... to this non us citizen.

Feels like content platforms are struggling with US ideological values of free speech and how it can be exploited to manipulate people... and what is their part to play where no action is action as well.

I don’t for a second think there is any significant voter fraud... cause that’d just be so hard to orchestrate and impossible to hide the evidence of.
I have a co-worker that lives up in Cobb County, GA. One day he came to work about being approached by some men while he was at Waffle House for breakfast, because he was wearing a SnowFlake t-shirt.
Thanks, very informative stuff.

(1) and (3): If we're to use open interest (along with the gamma of such open interest), it seems that we have to make specific assumptions about whether options' market makers are going to be net short/long, and by how much, in each specific contract, in order to perform the calculations. What such assumptions do you think that we should use for that, and I wonder if there's a way to make it more accurate than simply assuming "100% of this open interest in this specific put is held short by options market makers"? That seems to be the assumption made in [1], which is definitely very incorrect but maybe it's the best we can do?

(4) So I guess flow that results from vanna hedging (and the other greeks aside from delta/gamma) is pretty small then. A number of people on Twitter make a big deal out of vanna hedging - they seem to think it can predict moves in the underlying, but they must be mistaken if not much flow comes from it as a result.

> How exactly does this work? To whom is money being redistributed? It's punishment for holding dollars instead of investing them.

If you want to print money you have to inject it somewhere, and that place where you inject new money benefits from it - they decide how to spend this new money and this stream of wealth skews economy.

This is high level understanding ofc, I am sure there are a lot of technicalities on how this can be done.

Also, I don't think you should not keep currency but instead you should "invest" at least you could do this when you had gold.
I am an x-Facebook employee. In the early days I used to be proud wearing Facebook swag. Later it bacame more and more an issue. People started making comments on feature X or policy Y they didn't like. I eventually didn't wear any swag in public, this is when I've realized I need to leave the company.

Facebook is still a great place to work but the brand is so damaged that it's hard to see how they gain consumer trust again.
As a consumer company it means any new product (libra, unified family of apps etc..) will fail because of that.
How much do you invest to build OTT platform like Netflix or Hulu?
Personally I read messages, keep them only long enough to take action (when that's necessary) and then delete them. I don't want my brain cluttered by dozens/hundreds/thousands of ancient, no-longer-relevant messages. Furthermore, when the blackshirts come to get you, it's your own old messages they'll use to hang you. Get rid of them, I say.
Possibly. People who are stupid enough to assault the Capitol building without an actual army behind them are likely more than stupid enough to draw false equivalencies between civil disturbances prompted by documented instances of injustice and a coup attempt based on nothing but bluster and lies.

The side road can be restructured to give bikes priority. And put some good speedbumps on the side road to give cars a hint that they need to pay attention.
There are many situations where seeing things from another person's point of view will make you angry even if you were calm before.

Empathy with someone will likely make you less angry at them, but often will make you more (potentially much more) angry at someone else; the world is full of grievous injustices where empathy implies anger, and calmness is only possible either through ignorance (willful or not) and cynicism.
I am my own site admin. The third largest instance's admin blocked my site (because I disagree with him about censorship), preventing 17,000 people from being able to follow me, or send or receive DMs from me. I also can't follow or read any of those users from my own server, despite their messages/profiles being public and available to the whole web.
There is! "Chess Online"
>>Don't forget about network effects.

Hyper-localized services are also popular - 'neighborhood' and local shopping, etc. I really don't see making services for say, 35ish million population like Canada, has being difficult compared to making services for 320ish million like the US has. There are a number of social media,etc. that get 50M MAUs, so its not a 'google scale' problem by any means.

Most conspiracies are based from connneconnecting real facts. Most times those connections are disregard. As glitches, coincidences, mistakes, like in the election fraud.

In this case the subtext conspiracy being that the virus leaked from a Chinese lab, or a Chinese bat soup, or a weapon released by the Chinese government, or from a Chinese wet market, ... Mainstream is just slowly building many narratives, to let the sheep make the "connections"
Also they can be smaller and cheaper to build. Because they only carry bicycles and pedestrians, a height clearance of about 2.5 meters is enough, while a bridge needs around 5 meters to let cargo trucks pass underneath. This also results in much shorter ramps.
This works with the opening song, or not at all!!!
Agreed. Although being upfront to some degree is useful there is a balance, some things are better revealed in context to fully appreciate. If the conclusion is less binary or singular something can be sacrificed without ruining everything, but in this case I can't see a way to not destroy the story telling... I'm pretty sure I preferred reading this without BLUF.

Again, Georgia's Republican and Trump-endorsed (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/18/us/politics/trump-brian-k...) Governor and Secretary of State had every political reason to go digging here, yet both firmly attest to the accuracy of the count.
I find myself wondering what happens if they find that appetite. Do I stay away and let others fight them? These mobs could vastly outnumber the defenders, and might pose a real threat to our country.

Would I personally have the conviction to kill someone who is trying to violently take control of the government?

I never thought I'd be asking myself this question, but here I am.
It's supremely rude to decide that you can be permitted to read something, but other people can't.
In fairness the 101 days of utter lawlessness in Portland, and the weeks - months of riots that resulted in burning down businesses and public buildings, many of which the rioters themselves paid for and will pay for again when they're rebuilt, were mostly contained in a few locations across the nation.
That's rich, coming from a company that tramples over everybody's privacy.
Overall it had no positive spin - so no.

Please cite your source as to why you think there's one person or a group who's disproportionately benefitting and has a huge stash of new money over the last year. Who are they? This is just pure speculation. Do you have a study which quantifies the Canitillon effect?

Likely many people are saving a little bit of extra money because the whole COVID situation is pretty nuts and it's leaving people scared. This has reduced velocity, and printing made up for it. More than likely it's everyone who saved a little extra for the rainy day fund, and everyone got a little extra stimulus.

JPow didn't just walk up to some guy on the street and hand him a check for 25% of the entire US M2 money supply, that's not how this works, and further, concentrated wealth positions like that decrease velocity! That's the effect the Fed is trying to counter! To increase velocity the money has to be disbursed.

There's a case to be made in [1] (Sumner) that the Cantillon effect, while it exists, is irrelevant as it doesn't really matter who gets the money first.

It reminds me a lot of the "New Economy" discussions my programmer colleagues were having in mid-to-late 1999 about CSCO and the rest. One guy persuaded his grandmother to sell out of bonds and buy tech stocks. That ended badly.
If this wasn't a rhetorical question, I'd be happy to answer it, but since it is, I'll let you bathe in ignorance along with everyone else.
On the FRED website, you can easily experiment with dividing one time series by another. Just search for the first time series, then add another from the settings, then plot "a/b".

This is unbelievably concerning because Facebook is pre-installed on many phones now, and Facebook's apps send your out-of-app SMS messages to Facebook. This is part of the reason I quit the app; Literally gathering up my texts and keeping them on their servers without my knowledge or direct consent is an overwhelmingly huge violation of privacy. This is why I recommend everyone download a copy of their Facebook data. If you still have an account, you shouldn't.
People really like to give up their freedom to punish the other side...

Greenwald really reported what a lot of other journalists should have reported too. Especially those that call themselves independent.
I agree there's a lot of unused potential with their existing product line, but as you said, nobody does it better currently.

I've been running Ubiquiti gear for years, from a single 2.4GHz UAP with the Edgerouter products, to my current setup with UDM Pro, 10 GB backbone and multiple NanoHD access points, and to use an Apple quote, "It just works". I don't have a complicated setup, just some basic VLANs, firewall rules, radius assigned VLANs via MAC, and IDS/IPS, so maybe that's why i'm not having any issues with it.

I have the technical skill to set it up from scratch if i wanted a second day job, but i don't anymore. I've run on homebuilt devices, on a Soekris net4801, on an Alix APU1D4, on m0n0wall and PfSense in various configurations, latest on a Netgate SG-3100, and while the SG-3100 comes very close to being a network appliance, it still managed to crash to a point where i was flashing it and setting it up over a USB cable, and while Netgate support was very helpfull, that's hardly something you'd ask the average consumer to do.

On the access point side of things the only real contender would be Meraki, but those are 2-3 times the cost of UniFi gear. You could of course also get a bunch of Zyxel/Netgear/whatever consumer devices and put them in bridge mode, and lose all central management.
Strangely enough, it is totally normal at Amazon to simply call Jeff Bezos "Jeff".

> I strongly believe the goal post of online censorship should be incitement of violence or obvious hatespeech.

I want to add I also strongly believe this. But I also strongly believe that this situation isn't using (and shouldn't be using) the standards applied to an individual.

A US president with millions of followers, and a 14 day timeframe to the event, I think makes for an extraordinary situation that could require extraordinary action.

So to be clear: I think the bar here is, and should be, lower.
'Largest illegal darknet marketplace' DarkMarket taken offline
I'm sure it's not just me, but I loathe branding on clothing. It's frustrating when I'm shopping and every second item has a brand name, logo, or some graphic clearly visible. I think this comes from living in a society where people are judged if they don't wear the correct label.
QAnon Woke Up the Real Deep State
Yeah but that's not what downvoting is for. It cannot be surprising or offensive that not everyone in the tech _world_ has tied their identity up with the company they work for that they don't want to broadcast it - or that (as in this case) many organisations consider it better from a business/safety perspective to forbid it.

Of course, it is a sad state of affairs that it could attract violence. Someone is always going to disagree with what you do regardless of what it is, but it's a shame that that itself leads to violence.
Semantics. Don’t need “mass” if targeted distortions in a few counting centers throws the outcome. Yes, consequential abnormalities in key locations were apparent.

When the new employer is likely footing 90%+ of the bill (pretty standard in skilled professional jobs) then the answer is a clear yes. 100k CAD = ~$78k. Somebody making 100k CAD is likely commanding 110-120k USD at a minimum in the US. CAD equivalent is 140-153k CAD. Knock off $2k for healthcare out of pocket. Don’t forget the significantly lower tax burden. The worker cones out significantly ahead.
There is a difference between saying: "Sorry - it is against our beliefs to make a gay wedding cake - go somewhere else"

Yeah it's probably already hard enough to expect the average phone user to know how to (un)install apps. But expecting them to know which directory the file is in and is supposed to go into? Way harder.
This same argument is made over and over in many threds. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand. Even mobiles and social media were totally new to the older generation but they got used to it. How is this any different ?
Now about "LA Noire" !!!
> the brand is so damaged

By its own merits...
Those are very good points but they don't change the fact that grouping by people in this way tends toward smaller and smaller groupings, and exacerbates the sort of division and "different realities" that is hurting social cohesion.
This is not entirely surprising though as the policy is inflation (just enough of course, but never deflation). Inflation is seen as required and desirable, so we should expect the money supply to gradually expand with such a policy, except in cases of economic shock (as in 2020) when it expands more. The problem with such stimulus though is that it becomes very hard to withdraw and asset prices get farther and farther away from any rational valuation based on future returns.
The bigger one seems the electoral college... gerrymandering seems more dramatic in senate races and state legislatures
People seem to have huge double standards here. One side: "The government needs to step in and stop this widespread violence!".

Other side: "People need to stand up! Government needs to back off!"

Then flip flop when it's "their side" a few months later..
Removing offensive content is the laziest possible solution and it's funny how quickly Facebook and Twitter reverted to it once this solution was again on the table.
Most interesting part of all of this was what they did before, when they couldn't just delete the content.

They had to properly fact-check it and educate the viewers. I think this should be the default mode for stupid (counter-factual) opinions. I know it's hard but you are not the richest companies for nothing. Figure it out.

I think letting platforms just delete whatever causes an outrage is delaying the moment when we will finally get these kinds of things presented with proper fact based context instead of surrounded by ads and links to similarly stupid speech.
Would like to see more messaging services jump in on Matrix protocol. Signal would be huge.
Particularly given that it is not like if we had not spent 4 years hearing continuously that the previous election was stolen, with the blessing of those same big tech companies.

But as someone who is naturally hostile to monopolies and social media, I think this massive over-reach is a good thing. It might buy those companies some time with the current administration, but the republicans will come back to power sooner or later, and then there will be no debate over whether big tech will need to be regulated and its power cut back. It doesn't need to be through anti-trust. Banks have been forced to downsize and been over-regulated after 2008 with fresh new laws and regulations.
> Choose your own meaning to extrapolate _and_ choose which statements are valid.

The language is very different and they're contradicting each other. And they're days apart, with one prepared and the other during the event.

I'm not invalidating anything, I'm comparing apples to apples.

Also you're ignoring the pattern I laid out.

But I'll say it clearer. His hot takes are always partisan. Any walkbacks and sensibility only come later, after clear consequences loom.
Obsolecense assumes that something has become outdated. If you did something morally reprehensible, then it doesn't become outdated unless you apologize and promise that you'll never do it again, or that you in the least admit that you made a mistake. I do not know if Facebook did that before ending their contract. Either way people and companies who misuse trust like that still deserve criticism. That's the only way we can make sure that things change for the better.
> The SOC (system on chip) controller seems to be connected to the flip flop resets, which makes sense as the product powers on with the microphone enabled as default....

To compromise it, one just needs control of the SOC (which Amazon has) to turn the light off and the mics back on.
Vaccine wasn't specifically tested on kids and in the UK anyway we have a hierarchy for vaccination that is something like this:

1. Age 80+ and healthcare or other frontline workers - starting now

2. Age 70+

3. Age 60+ and those with underlying conditions

etc

It's quite a long list and you're looking at millions of vaccinations and boosters before any children will be considered unless they have major health problems. We've done roughly 2 million injections in the UK so far.

Also for minors I suspect the decision to vaccinate will be mainly with the parents not the kids, although it would be nice if they were compliant.

As mentioned below a statistics lesson on the groups of population by age/risk and statistics on catching the virus and outcome would be interesting.
Well a good start might be to address a lot of these concerns.

Whether they want to or not, politicians and the ultra wealthy are going to have to get out of bed together. The affair is over, if for no other reason then their own physical safety, then at least for their financial safety.

If income inequality continues and there's less and less available jobs for working age men, those men will find something to occupy their time, and I promise you, it won't be selling wood carvings on Etsy. I cannot remember where I heard this, and I'm going to butcher the quote, but it went a little something like, "When you take away a man's ability to earn his way, you turn him into a revolutionary." I'm almost certain I got that wrong, but that's the gist of it. We need a huge jobs program and we need one now. An enormous infrastructure bill would be a good start to calming down a lot of this nonsense. Employed people with disposable income rarely want to upend the system.

If we continue down this path, then the cold civil war that we're seeing waged mostly on the Internet, but occasionally out in the open, is going to turn into a hot one. And I guarantee you, if things escalate, you'll find Russia taking advantage of this by sending groups of their special operators to train these people, because no one in the world has more experience with urban warfare than Russia. And if you think that the American military is entirely unsympathetic to these people, you are starkly and dangerously wrong.

EDIT: And yes, I've been hearing / reading / seeing references to the "boogaloo" for years now. It seems we might be facing it sooner, rather than later.
It was common in Northern Ireland - if you where considered a "crown agent" and where considered a valid target for the PIRA or UDA

A few years ago There was massive fuss when BT started putting the company logo on the carpark stickers.

And some "engineers" (linemen) have been assaulted by anti 5G cranks in the UK not sure if the same has happened in the US
That it'd come to this is pretty obvious I think.

I mean, Facebook de-platformized a politician that 70+ million people voted for.

It doesn't really matter if they had the right or wrong reasons in doing this: the pool of disillusioned people just grew tremendously and I can't see anyone claiming otherwise.

Or did Facebook think that all of these 70+ million people would just sit back quietly and accept that their politician was blocked (or perceived of being censored)?

EDIT: Clarified the last sentence do to using the word "censored" incorrectly: thanks for pointing it out.
It's the opposite of what a government wants in a currency. It's something a lot of people want for a secure store of wealth.

While it is spooky interaction at a distance it can't be used to transfer information faster than light.
In simple terms, the states are correlated, but you have no way to influence what they are.
You get a random number and know instantly what the other random number of the remote particle is, but that doesn't transfer any information from you to the remote location or vice-versa.

The most obvious explanation would have been that there is some kind of hidden state and they don't interact at all anymore, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
