> It lets everyone do so

Citation for your claim that everyone has access to cheap credit. Are you aware of payday loans? [0]

> and as a fraction of net worth, the poor are way disproportionately exposed, and hence benefit.

Citation needed for your claim that the poor can access these low interest rates.

> A billionaire with $1B in net worth isn't leveraged to 10B in real estate.

Citation needed. Why do you think a person with $11B in assets wouldn’t borrow $10B?

> Someone worth $10K may easily have $100K in mortgage debt, however.

Citation needed. Do you mean someone worth $110k has a $100k mortgage? Or do you mean someone worth -$90k has $10k in assets and liabilities totalling $100k?

> Why do you say people who have both debt and assets benefit more than those who have just debts?

Because inflation causes assets to appreciate in nominal terms (assuming constant real value) and debt to depreciate in real terms.

> They strictly dont because those assets have to outperform inflation. Debts do not.

I’m not sure what you mean by “outperform inflation”

> That's irrelevant - that is to say, a separate problem

It means your theory about poor people benefitting from low interest rates is not true.

> because inflation affects everyone regardless of interest rate equally.

Citation needed.

> Interest rates are set based on likelihood of default.

You know this and yet you continue to assert that poor people benefit as much or more than the wealthy? I guess you think a person with a minimum wage job and no assets is just as likely to default as a billionaire?

> Yes, in aggregate, no the cost of houses hasn't increased on an inflation adjusted dollars per square foot basis since the 1970s

Right, when you adjust for the inflation, it hasn’t increased at all. Which is basically the point. The prices go up because of inflation, people who hold assets sell them for more money, people who earn paychecks get the same amount of dollars but can buy less for it, etc. None of this is controversial except when saying it around the proles who might take offense at the efforts of oligarchs to eat the bottoms out of their paychecks and savings.

> No, this is a fundamental misunderstanding. All businesses see their expenses and revenues rise with inflation.

But not at the same time or at the same rate. After all, if all prices relected inflation at the same time, there would be no point.

> If they choose not to adjust their salaries commensurately, they've made a conscious decision to reduce pay a fraction of income.

No, the bankers are the ones who made the conscious decision. Good rhetorical judo tho.

> [citation needed]

> You've stated a bunch of stuff as fact without sources.

Some of it is basically common knowledge, like poor people not having the collaterall, credit history, or social value required to access the same loans as billionaires. Some of it just seems like fundamental misunderstanding on your part, like your belief that all prices inflate at the same rate.

It’s good and almost all of them assemble the small EV from ready made CKD (completely knocked down) kits from neighbouring country (imported legally or illegally due to policy ban to show as produced in India).

The value addition is in terms of making an outer body or assembling the imported battery cells and wheels (comes with inbuilt motor), depending on the capacity.

India lacks basic manufacturing capability at present and is still a decade or two behind major players in this industry. Indeed almost all EV including the much celebrated local brands rely on supply from other countries (mostly from an immediate neighbour especially for battery cells, wheels with motors, PCB and power management electronics). India makes only vehicle body based on local needs.

Hopefully this kind of car manufacturer are directly allowed to setup factories in India, instead of those middleman who try to get a large cut in India for substandard products, just for moving products due to restrictions and complications due to government policies of indigenous development, promoting inefficient indigenous manufacturers.

Frontier Airlines charges for both checked and carry-on baggage. Additionally, they charge _more_ for luggage if you don't pay until you're at the airport, and even more if you wait til you're past security and at the gate.

Is it literally the exact same thing? No, but it definitely falls into the same category of sunk-cost/trapped buyers. Once you get to the gate, you're getting on the plane, even if you have to pay more for your luggage than you expected.

It's also very similar to why the soda vending machine at work charges $1 for a soda; the one in the amusement park charges $3, and the one _in the line_ for the popular ride costs $6. They all rely on facets of behavior that the consumer will just pay a little more once they've somehow invested in the process. The only difference is _what_ they invested and how easily recoverable it is.
Then why did you write in italics to emphasize that you already have to be root, if you were so unsure?

I don't think there's anything we can simulate "completely", in the sense that a fire-and-forget model would subsequently go onto have a typical life.

The stomatogastric ganglion might be the closest. It is a network of three dozen neurons in the crustacean stomach. Like the worm, the wiring diagram is completely known and the physiology is easier to measure. Despite being very simple, it can generate intricate patterns of activity in the stomach muscles that let the crab/lobster/etc eat. Scholarpedia has the diagram and some references (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Stomatogastric_ganglion) Eve Marder, who has done a lot of pioneering work on this circuit, wrote a book (Lessons From the Lobster) that I'm looking forward to reading.

Don't be disappointed! A lot of media coverage tends to present new results as "we're almost there." In most cases, I think that's nonsense, but it's also exciting to think how many things there are left to discover and how fascinatingly complex the world is.

That's mostly because local sales tax makes it very hard to advertise a price - each small locality might have a different tax level, and a different final price.

> an economy with low, stable inflation is good for everyone

This is argument by assertion, which I have already responded above by explaining, in detail, how this is not the case.

> look at the deflationary spirals of the great depression (or any pre-1900 crash) and any hyperinflationary economy of your choosing.

You’ve helped me to show why an unstable currency is bad. You haven’t supported your assertion of why a depreciating currency is good for everyone.

> COVID hits, demand plummets, we do nothing to try to keep people in jobs or keep the financial system from collapsing. Less production is indicated!

Sounds good. Those pesky billionaires are going to be upset that we don’t continue to pump up their asset prices but whatever.

> No one is talking about counter-cyclical monetary policy and implying it is being used to keep anachronistic firms in business.

Why not? Why is it good to print money so unproductive workers don’t get laid off, but its bad to print money to keep unproductive firms from disappearing?
The other part is that there's a straightforward trade-off between specific power and efficiency. Two motors on the same shaft can each be run at half the current, and since power loss due to resistance is: P=I^2*R, your losses due to resistance would halve. (There are, of course, other loss mechanisms.)

So it's good to start out with a really high specific power because you can often trade that back for efficiency.

I'm taking this as a positive sign that people are interested, but not sure if anybody else has the experience of people asking to be "test users" rather than just saying "I'll be your first customer"?

When pushed directly on the subject, the response I get leads down to the conversation around efficacy & pricing, which is great, but I'm wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience and can share what they learned?

Wikipedia informed me that uranium concentration in seawater is estimated at 3.3 parts per billion (0.0033ppm)[1] while lithium concentration in seawater is estimated at 0.14 to 0.25 parts per million with pockets existing with concentration up to 7ppm[2].

Surely by the time we come up with the technology to harvest uranium from seawater, nuclear fission technology will be rendered obsolete as storing power from solar will be much much cheaper with lithium-ion batteries harvested from the same oceans, but with 100 times more efficiency.

No, not at all. I remember reading Quarantine when it came out, AMAZING book. This one was interesting until they got in the TVC, then it got boring (IMO) and when I read teh wiki page I realized I stopped caring about it. The concept was interesting, and I liked the idea. I read it last year shortly before the 4th Bobiverse book came out which starts to explore the general concept of "once information exists it can't unexist", hinting at what might come in the 5th book.
> lol, printing money wouldn't have changed anything there. If they made a -5% real return with no printing, and there's a 2% inflation rate, they'd have made a -3% notional return, or, and I believe this is true, a -5% real return.

This makes no sense. You print money and spend it on buggy whips, they continue to make a positive return. Because you printed money and took up the slack demand.

I'd argue that none of these are mutually exclusive with Satoshi's own beliefs.

Satoshi seemed to think BTC was getting too much attention too fast. They were unhappy about WikiLeaks accepting it thinking it was far too premature for that.

They also were clear that it did NOT yet provide full anonymity. The whitepaper admits that and Satoshi advised precautions like using Tor and not reusing wallets until there was better privacy. They never claimed it was mature for privacy use cases.

The inherent tension in the crypto space is that for early adopters crypto is the best thing imaginable: figuratively winning enormous sums with little to no effort. For anyone else, it is not only a generator of envy and bitterness but a burden on energy production, GPUs and whatnot.

The ideological aspect of crypto as a defense against the big bad system is dead in the water since early adopters are so massively powerful within the hypothetical new system, and nobody really wants to use it as a currency as opposed to a pyramid scheme.

You don't actually need it to use that much RAM. It's more about memory bandwidth. An attacker can increase the memory bandwidth by using block RAM like in an FPGA or on-die RAM in an ASIC, but both of those are far more expensive than discrete DDR DRAM modules. So with appropriate memory usage (enough to saturate the cache lines) it can be cheap enough for the server to run yet still more expensive to build an ASIC platform for. Of course an ASIC can use DDR as well, but then it's stuck with the same memory bandwidth as the DDR module and gains no particular advantage.

Argon2id with t=3, m=92MiB, p=1 should be slower than bcrypt with cost 12 on most modern GPUs. That's not actually all that much memory, you can handle quite a few concurrent logins on a server with those settings. 10 concurrent logins per GiB of RAM dedicated to the task. And it should only DOS the login process, so it might make taking out your auth process (or server) easier but won't necessarily harm any other part of the site.

Allergy drop immunotherapy (SLIT) can help allergy sufferers with both sever and mild symptoms have significant reduction in their symptoms -- or, in your language, it helps people with low-grade allergies too. However, if an over-the-counter allergy med is all you need, then maybe that's the right treatment for you.

Our treatment is for people who don't want to worry about taking an allergy medication during allergy season at all.
