It amazes me that people can still be so obtuse and keep parroting how you just don’t need to get an iPhone. In a market where you are stuck between two choices, it isn’t so easy to just cut one.

Apple’s day of reckoning is coming closer, I believed the EU will rein them in and I can’t wait to see people on HN defend them then.
This sounds more like hardware problems that need software work-arounds.
That's not a fact. Money can and will be created out of thin air regardless if your monetary system is built on central bank money, gold or even bitcoin.

A naive example:

Alice has a gold coin. she walks to a bank and makes a deposit. Now she has one gold coin in her bank account and bank is holding her coin.

Now Bob walks into the bank and says that he needs a loan of one gold coin to buy things. Bank happily lends the coin received from Alice to Bob.

Bob walks to Alice and buys things from Alice and gives the coin to Alice.

Now Alice has one gold coin and another gold coin at her bank account. Total amount of money she has is now two gold coins, even if only one gold coin exists in the whole universe!

And yes, that money at her bank account is as real money as money nowadays gets. And yes, the truth is even more weird, you do not even need to circulate the money as in the naive example, banks can and will just create money out of thin air to people's accounts. After all, the money at the account is literally, literally nothing more or less than a way for bank to say that it will pay you money some later date if you so wish. To make that promise, you do not need any money to exist anywhere. Even I can do that promise on any imaginable currency (what that promise is worth is another discussion). And as said, this has absolutely nothing to do with what "base money" the monetary system is built on. And of course, this is the reason why financial system is so heavily regulated.
It's making a very specific argument on a single subject, the contention that we are likely to see runaway consumer price inflation in the coming years. The article says this is wrong and explains why. I think it makes a very strong case for this. I don't happen to agree with the author's conclusion that therefore government should embark on a massive programme of capital infrastructure spending and such, but the rest of it is well argued. Economics is complicated so it's an extensive argument.
Actually yes, all the damn time.

The deflationary forces at work in our economy greatly outweigh the inflationary forces even in the face of massive fiscal stimulus and easy money policies.

In fact I predict as a result of the workplace changes enabled by forced work from home during the pandemic these deflationary forces will accelerate and put even more pressure on wage growth (which is by far the biggest influencer of consumer inflation).

We are already seeing the first stages of this with an exodus of knowledge workers out of high cost of living areas. This is merely the first stage and these early movers will reap a temporary benefit of carrying their existing salary to a lower cost area but the long term impact is companies will now freely hire from lower cost areas and as a whole depress prices of labour.

Not to mention the emphasis this places on digitisation of processes that results in increasing efficiencies (read less employees, especially low skill ones) and economies of scale.

I think the future of inflation is headed one way, to the absolute dumps for the foreseeable future with perhaps a tiny bump to 3-4% during Covid recovery. Long term I see the Fed actually struggling to keep things hot enough to run inflation up to their target without stepping in to force wage growth and labour competition up.

A minor clarification about IPFS here:

The metadata in the NFT can (and in my opinion _should_) point to an ipfs:// style URL. The websites displaying the NFT would have to use some redirector, but the actual token would have a URL that anyone could host (known as "pinning") on the IPFS network.

The author covered the arguments for why QE is not inflationary well. However, they failed to address how government spending and fiscal stimulus (which is vastly different from QE) is not inflationary.

I agree that QE causes asset price inflation but normally does not cause much consumer price inflation. However, I believe government spending and fiscal stimulus most certainly will.

Massive amounts of government fiscal stimulus is used to combat deflation, which it seems to do well, at least initially. The threat of deflation is usually caused by a slow in monetary velocity. But when monetary velocity returns inflation is likely to increase at a rate greater than we would see without any stimulus. The whole idea of it seems to be to combat deflation with inflation. So if that is not inflationary then why are governments around the world doing it? And why are we to assume them to be infallible and that they know exactly what the proper medicine is for a broken economy?

I think it's wreckless to dismiss the possibility of inflation when we have already been seeing it in the dramatic decline in the purchasing power of consumer goods by fiat currencies for decades.
As someone who has gone through multiple clean installs back in the day, I finally caved in and switched to an iPhone a few summers ago. I didn’t want to deal with the crapware and security holes that won’t be patched after merely two years.

I still have an old HTC One that I have managed to install a more recent OS on. It’s unbearably slow. My mom’s SE from around the time still works great in comparison.
The typical lifetime of a Nintendo console is 5 years (N64 was 1996, GameCube was 2001, Wii was 2006, Wii U was 2012 because the Wii was such a smash success, Switch was 2017). The release cycles have been slowing as of recent but we're far more than 50% in.

Well, the first question is: how much money?

That question is usually answered by the people willing to take out commercial loans. Without the market supplying that function, you’d have to try and figure this out yourself centrally.

The second issue is that you really are spraying money evenly across the whole economy, effectively starving productive ventures of capital while at the same time endowing moribund ventures with it instead.

So it’s not quite an equivalent scheme, it has different benefits and costs.

> Equality means things are measurably the same.

No I think you're loading the meaning of equal. No one would say "you and I are equal" and expect that we're clones.

> That’s why you’ll often see folks talk about “equality of opportunity.” Not equality in general; equality as an input.

People talk about equality of opportunity because that's the circumstances that people concluded recognize human dignity and autonomy.

As soon as you begin the path of equal outcomes, you're talking an expansive micro-managing state optimizing for variables they scarcely understand.

And fundamentally there's a lack of faith in people as capable human beings that can manage the affairs of their own life and work to lead the life they want by their own endeavor. It's paternalism.

I don't understand, how does this have "little to do" with NAFTA? Whose naive view is it that production will move? I mean, call me naive, but we could also make laws that say production won't be moved.

The monetary policy works hand-in-hand with NAFTA and immigration policies so that capital is free to wander the globe, sloshing around and popping off asset bubbles while workers feel the boot. Again... my naive view.
The point is that there was no underlying law of nature attaching gold to the financial system. The only thing "backed by" meant was, the government promised to trade gold and regulate the gold market as required to maintain their declared peg. Maybe it's a bit of a "hot take" to call that manipulation, but I don't think it's untrue or unfair - in some countries (although not the UK) governments went as far as simply prohibiting private speculation in gold.

It's kind of ridiculous to think that everyone is talking about money printing now. It's become such an obvious force in society that it cannot be ignored even by the layperson.

And economists keep repeating "It's nothing, it's not a problem". They're so disconnected from reality, they won't realize there is a problem until they have a noose around their necks.

Considering the insane profits pharmaceutical companies are currently recording, the issue has more to do with these companies favoring their benefits to the detriment of the general population which should come as no surprise to anyone having experience dealing with a pharma company.

The issue is particularly prevalent in Europe because as usual, apart from some grand posturing in the media, Europe will do nothing to fight back.

> He set up a committee to debate what latitude in religion should be allowed: it's clear that the answer was going to be much wider than anything allowed under Charles I. (Not surprisingly, since the Independents in the army were fighting for the principle of freedom of worship - for Christians - and against any church establishment.)

It's clear that it was different, not that it was wider. Cromwell was generally interested in toleration of various 'non-conformist' groups, but mostly Calvinist ones (presumably these were the ones he counted as "God's children"; 'Mahometanism' is a pretty easy throw-away since there weren't any significant number of Muslims in Britain at the time). Even Quakers didn't end up particularly well-protected by the Protectorate. (James II, Charles I's younger son, did much more for the Quakers.)

The toleration of Jews was plausibly driven in part by Puritan millennarist beliefs about the role of the Jews in the end-times, but there was a more general trend towards more positive views of Jews throughout the 17th and into the 18th-centuries which doesn't seem specific to Cromwell or the Puritans.

Totally wrong definition of inflation. Inflation of money supply is a driver of higher prices. But inflation is not higher prices themselves. Inflation is same as debasing currency and stealing purchasing power from the people. It’s a stealth tax and a trick. Can’t work forever.

That’s how more than a few of my projects have started.

Isola 370 has good consistency, but I’d still only do resonant structures on Rogers laminates.

There's that, but there's also just costs that are baked into the fact of distribution itself.

For example, take Spark. Since it's built to be resilient, every executor is its own process. Because of that, executors can't just share immutable data the way threads can in a system that's designed for maximum single-machine performance. They've got to transfer the data using IPC. In the case of transferring data between two executors, that can result in up to four copies of the data being resident in the memory at once: The original data, a copy that's been serialized for transfer over a socket, the destination's copy of the serialized data, and the final deserialized copy.
Could work but I’d rather have it behind a firewall, stuff like Vault and Grafana
The expectation here is fair trade. They are providing a good for sale with a price. If you do not pay the price, you do not get to enjoy the good, regardless of if the distribution model inherently enforces its trade value through scarcity or not.

The last several thousands of years of society and economics are based on this principle. Capitalism depends on it. You can be against capitalism and work towards achieving that end. But until we get there, we need to make sure that those in a society built around capitalism obey these fair trade rules.

About his patronage for science: he was more interested in training up preachers, but he wouldn't have seen these as opposed. He planned to set up colleges in the North; Hartlib (key figure in the Invisible College) was on the committee for Durham. These plans were ended by the Restoration.

You're very casual about primary education! It wasn't seen as an obviously good thing at the time - which is why it was reversed. Even in the 19th century, many people still argued that you shouldn't over-educate the working masses. Early literacy may have been a crucial step towards the take-off into economic growth.

There's a lot of people making the comparison with Hitler. I suggest that even the harshest interpretation of the Irish campaign does not bear comparison with the industrialized murder of the Holocaust. English colonization predates Cromwell by at least a century. Ethnic cleansing was planned and carried out in several areas of Ireland. This is, obviously, very bad indeed! But it is not the same as Zyklon gas. The plan had also been laid down before Cromwell became Protector. When he intervened personally, it was usually to urge mercy for specific individuals. This is not the same as "no Hitler, no Holocaust".

Lastly, you're assuming that I only wanted to mention "good stuff". I just wanted a slightly broader and calmer debate. I don't know the historical effects of defeating Spain or Holland.

IRL, we are unable to force systemd NOT to use any network ports for security reason due to absence of Linux firewall ability to deal with this process ID on inbound packets.

Hence, OpenRC enters the picture instead just to ensure that network port is not being used.

Also, premise of the DEFAULT-DENY firewall modeling is to pinhole open the port(s) on a per-process (or per-parent-process group) basis.

I think it's not wrong so much as you have tipping points that are really unknown, and a lot this depends on where we are in the tipping point. How much debt is too much debt? How much money printing is too much? How much is an asset really worth?

You can have a "correct" answer that's unknowable. Assuming you know everything, you can calculate everything. However, there is an amount of randomness in the system (and everything can't be known), so the 'right' answer is hard to know, will not always be correct, and is impacted by personal risk tolerances.
The problem is when there starts to be many "site-specific stuff". It's easy to remember not to route .well-known to user-generated content in your app. It's less easy to remember a list of endpoints, like robots.txt, security.txt, and so on. And what when that list grows? What if you already have a user called "security.txt" (or whatever the next one is)? This is why a .well-known prefix is valuable.

When talking about money, the term intrinsic value means the market value of the commodity the money is made from, versus the face value of the money.
