> Asst holders benefit disproportionately

No, they don't. Clearly dollar-denominated asset holders lose by first order effects, though they might see reduced risk as second+-order effects. Non-dollar-denominated asset holders see no real gains as first-order effects, they only see them indirectly from the absence of production cuts and demand throughout the economy, but those are much smaller proportional benefits than the people who would be unemployed by those cuts face.

> So by tricking people into taking less compensation for the same amount of work, we benefit how?

We benefit because otherwise those jobs would be lost entirely, along with the associated production which is worse in first order terms, but because it both reduces output and contracts demand, has second-order effects that would result in more job losses and production cuts. If the workers individually prefer not to be employed than to be employed at reduced real wages, they of course can voluntarily choose not to work (which by contracting supply will drive up wages for the remaining workers.)

> If demand decreases then production should decrease, because less production is indicated.

Yes, naturally if demand decreases both market-clearing price and market-clearing quantity should decrease. Wage stickiness pushes that all into quantity and not price cuts, which is more disruptive than smaller quantity cuts with some price cuts (both for the produced goods and the labor to produce them.)

> When the automobile replaced the horse-and-buggy, demand for buggy whips decreased as it should have. printing money so that the buggy whip makers didn’t notice that there was less demand for their product would have been a disservice.

Inflation doesn't prevent manufacturers from noticing demand cuts, it just makes it more possible for them to cut prices as well as quantity in response to demand fluctuations, which—especially with transitory fluctuations, though this is true more generally, outside of a catastrophic drop to zero demand, where it has no effect either way—has less adverse knock-on effects.
To that extent that Nintendo has any influence in this area, I'd say they're quite supportive of people using their old hardware. Many Nintendo games display discontinued devices prominently (WarioWare, Animal Crossing), and there are stories on Twitter of Nintendo phone reps helping troubleshoot NES and SNES hardware issues.

Nintendo won't support people pirating their games, but as much as I think copyright lasts too long, this isn't exactly a surprising position from a game manufacturer.

To be proficient in any language / framework you need to understand its mechanics. It doesn't matter what language you use. Or how easy it seems. I've seen many junior devs shooting in their feet with Java (Spring) or Node. And certainly did it myself often enough.

After initial skepticism Go as become my personal go-to tool for backend, cli tools and throw away scripting stuff. At my workplace Go has replaced Spring and Node for standard business backend stuff as the standard stack.

This is *not* because Go is such a fabulous and easy language, but because of its overall characteristics:

- pretty impressive runtime performance and more importantly memory efficiency

- large and very useful standard lib

- useful tooling

- stable and mature

- encourages a package oriented design that enables large scale, however that can be achieved with many other languages as well. In other words: Building your app with packages as if they were microservices.
It's unlikely that a single maximum effort workout increased your fitness much. I suspect that the psychological aspect was more important.

The M1x will almost certainly have 64 gb support, possibly 128. Apple has left Intel Macs in the lineup for customers who need features that the M1 has not replicated, like large RAM capacity and 10 gb Ethernet. The M1 macs are still better for 90% of customers, but the intention is to only fully phase out Intel Macs in a product line when Apple Silicon is better for 100% of customers, as they did with the Air. The M1x will fill out the remainder of the Macbook Pro and Mac Mini lineup, which requires 64 gb support. It is likely (though not a guarantee) that the M1x will also fill out the entire iMac line (excluding the education M1 iMac they have not yet released). That would require 128 gb support.

People seem to be under the mistaken impression that supporting higher memory capacities is hard. It's not. It's trivial. The only reason the M1 doesn't is because of how it's packaged, and they only chose to package it that way because the products they were intending to replace it with only need 2 memory chips. They did what made sense for the M1, and they will do what makes sense for the M1x.

So you do, at least, understand that a person with more debt benefits more than a person with less debt?

> Interest rate on loans is defined on "cost plus" basis, where "cost" is the treasury interest rate, and the "plus" is based on your default risk. However, the "cost" is the same for everyone no matter what.

So you are aware that poor people generally pay a premium for loans, based on their risk of default? And you see how that impacts their access to credit? And how this leads to wealthy people benefitting more?

> So if the Christians, by definition only follow the words of Jesus Christ, then the prophet Mohammad who does not and has his own belief system

That argument isn’t as clear cut since Muhammad himself was adamant that he was preaching the same message of Moses and Jesus. In many ways, Islam was, in its eyes, to Christianity what Christianity, in its eyes, was to Judaism.

You would be hard pressed to find a Muslim theologian (who understands Christian theology) that claims Christians and Muslims worship different gods while until today it remains controversial for Christian theologians to go on the record saying they’re one and the same.

Edit: more to the point, until Victorian times, Muslims were most commonly referred to as Mohammedans because the English-speaking world just assumed Islam is to Muhammad as Christianity is to Jesus Christ.

Perhaps more technical than you intended, but for linux it interfaces to screen-readers via AT-SPI via DBus (Or you can use the older libatk -- iirc).

I mean it's just a tax the business has to pay to the government, calculated based on products sold. Any business could conceivably do something similar with any tax if they wanted, e.g. add a "XYZ fee" that's added at the register to compensate for XYZ tax. (And in fact many businesses in the US do exactly this, listing each tax as an excuse to tack on arbitrary extra hidden fees at check-out!)

I think this also doubles as a political statement. Basically a subtle way to shift "blame" and make consumers feel upset about a tax, and more likely to put pressure on governments to reduce said taxes. Ultimately it's all anti-consumer.
As a physics/chemistry person I have a lot of questions, I hope there are some biologists in the house. I am all for environmental preservation and conservation -- do we know the exact effects of certain bee species becoming extinct? Will it really throw off pollination and ecological equilibrium, or will it be a slight perturbation that nature will promptly rebound from? For example if all X pollinators go extinct, could it not potentially leave room for Y pollinators to grow and effectively "take over the job" or "fill the void".

Somewhat dark, but I imagine there are hundreds, if not thousands, of species that could simply go extinct without permanent "damage" to the biochemical ecosystem. Humans are probably one of those species. For example, what if all red ants went extinct? Would the Earth just be completely screwed? I would guess probably not. My question is what separates a critical species from a non-critical one and how do biologists even determine this effectively?

I know nature does not care about what species live and die; evolution has no "desire" to keep anything alive. But is there really a bottleneck species that, if wiped out, would cause an irreversible phase transition for life as we know it?

> This doesn’t make sense either, in 2010 the 2006 dollar is worth the same as the 2010 dollar.

No, it isn't. A 2006 dollar is worth ((1 + 0.02)^15) = $1.34 in 2021 dollars. A 2010 dollar is worth ((1 + 0.02)^11) = $1.24. Each reflects a slice of the GDP in the year of issue and if you'd exchanged it for assets in the year of issue like you were supposed to you'd have preserved that value. You chose to bring it forward into 2021 without investing it like you were supposed to. You willingly took the haircut. That's the only way they're worth the same - your forfeiture of time value.

Maybe for TV advertising but definitely not the reason for price labels on shelves to omit tax. Retail chains are perfectly capable of printing custom price labels for each branch. Supermarkets in my country have individual pricing per branch.
It's not the stickers on the shelves, though it would be mildly annoying to retag the entire store, it's the ads in the newspaper. Low margin businesses like groceries can't advertise an all-in price for their stores in the metro area when every tiny municipality in a metro has a slightly different tax rate.

Growing up in suburban Kansas City, we had both city, county and state sales taxes which could vary based on a short drive. And then there's certain entities which are allowed tax exemptions, like teachers making qualified purchases for some things.
@chrisseaton you are correct, the JSON file is generated. The handwritten parts are:

> You print money and spend it on buggy whips, they continue to make a positive return

Sure, but no one is talking about combining general monetary expansion with targeted fiscal stimulus on the industries experiencing a drop in market demand.

(There might be good reason to do that to avoid capacity loss if you had a good reason to believe that it was a transitory loss in an industry where even with the buffering provided by inflation, production cuts would, absent fiscal intervention, be so severe as to result in abandonment/neglect/destruction of capital goods that would adversely effect an expected recovery, but that’s a far different issue than monetary inflation alone.)

Bombard's wikipedia page mentions the French and Taiwanese militaries conducted lost-at-sea exercises that supported Bombard's findings. The page doesn't have much in the way of citations, though, and I couldn't find anything on google about either the French or Taiwanese efforts (though I only spent a minute or two looking).

As other posters have mentioned though, the take-away isn't really that you can subsist soley on seawater, but that using seawater to supplement fresh water from rain and liquids from fish can allow one to survive for long periods at sea without an initial store of freshwater.

I think these are a couple key points:

> Here’s a different way to think about it. The core principle is just that if you can prove to React something can’t change (like this children prop, which is the same between renders because it comes from above), then React doesn’t need to visit it.

> To sum up, I don’t see it as a trick at all. I see it as a foundational principle for React optimizations. In simple cases, like in this post, you can use this principle yourself. But an optimizing compiler would apply the same exact principle to a broader set of cases.

35k per year from influenza is literally an order of magnitude less than the current death toll (but we should still take it seriously! I hope COVID normalizes masks during flu season). You or I are much more likely to know or be connected to someone who died of COVID this past year than of the normal seasonal flu in any given year.

675k Americans died in the 1918 Flu, and we’re still talking about that one. We may very well surpass that in raw numbers (although not in percent of population) with COVID.

And lots of people care about the 3 million people that die every year! We’re constantly trying to make driving safer, investing in new therapies for heart disease and cancer, etc. I’ve seen many articles about the increase in suicide in the US over the past decade, written with the hope of stirring action and driving change. There’s no reason to accept potentially preventable deaths as a matter of course.
