Demonstrably false. Ten years ago a bunch of folks predicted a bunch of bad things would happen because of money printing and QE:

> We believe the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase plan (so-called "quantitative easing") should be reconsidered and discontinued. We do not believe such a plan is necessary or advisable under current circumstances. The planned asset purchases risk currency debasement and inflation, and we do not think they will achieve the Fed's objective of promoting employment.

A bunch of other folks (generally Keynesians, like Paul Krugman), said the above was non-sense.

The results of the 'experiment' came in: the Keynesians were right. See also "expansionary austerity".

In fact Krugman recently wrote an entire book on "zombie ideas": certain things that come up over and over again, often over several decades, but will not die; Arguing with Zombies:

Bogus in which direction? The Fed has had a 2% target rate for the last 15 years, I think, and has only exceeded it for a handful of quarters. Under what theory would giving people a few thousand dollars push it over 2% for any extended period of time?

So Powell is saying there are no inflation fears!

I work in the space (specifically, on the Payer/Health Insurance Co side) and this is my current bugaboo

From best I can gather, there are a handful of High-Level issues. But for the sake of brevity, I'll highlight what I think is the biggest:

The data requisite to make a confident estimate lives in many different parties' databases. To make an estimate, you would need: (1) Full List of Procedures and Services to be done (keywords here: CPT and ICD codes); (2) Contracted Rates between Payer and Provider; (3) Patient's Deductible, OOP Max, and Plan Benefits; (4) List of which services require Pre-auth

(1) lives with the Provider

(3) and (4) live with the Payer

(2) lives in between, but is also a huge problem because it's a many-to-many sort of relationship (many Payers have many contracts (e.g. annually re-negotiated contracts) with many Providers)
It's not just money printing either. Fractional reserve banking and money lending creates just as much inflation.

People deposit real money into the bank. It keeps a fraction and loans out the rest. That loaned money eventually gets used to pay debts and it gets once again deposited into the bank. It keeps a fraction and loans out the rest...

The exact same money gets loaned many times. The situation keeps looping and looping and with every iteration new money that doesn't actually exist is created by the bank. It will only start existing once real value is created or extracted from the planet, thereby making possible to repay the loan.

Inflation is like a tax. When government and banking institutions inflate the currency, they systematically and worst of all invisibly rob people of their purchasing power.

I don't think it really hurts anyone to an extent that it should be opposed, but neither does it really help, until proven otherwise.

Difficulty of servicing debts is still addressed by both monetary (ie lowering interest rates) and fiscal (think direct checks to Americans) stimulus. In the latter case, it’s estimated roughly half the stimulus checks will go to paying down debt, not direct spending.
Its the death of the meme of the "universal OS".

> There's good evidence from contact-tracing that some of the subsequent outbreaks originated in people who work in the cold chain.

Well, that's technically true. It just probably didn't come from the goods being handled like China claimed. In particular, formites and surface contamination of any kind don't seem to be a major source of transmission, and the Beijing outbreak they originally used this to explain seems to actually trace back to infected truckers travelling from somewhere in China with a previously-undetected outbreak that wasn't noticed before because locations outside Beijing didn't have the same level of testing. That is, they found it within their cold chain because that was where they were looking. This is also a lot more consistent with what we know about how Covid is transmitted.
You still have to pay back the principal though?

Price per Unit | Interest | Annuity | Duration [years] | Interest payed
-------------- | -------- | ----------- | ------------------ | --------------
100,000.00 | 5.0% | 12,000.00 | 10.8 | 29,626.35
150,000.00 | 2.5% | 12,000.00 | 15.0 | 30,040.09
200,000.00 | 1.0% | 12,000.00 | 18.2 | 18,876.33

Unfortunately the increase in asset price is not covered by the decrease in the interest rates. And yes, prices here have nearly doubled over the last 10 years. And you could easily get a mortgage for less than 5% in 2011 here.
Is it really necessary to change it every time? Github did the same thing last year, I just went into my organisations settings and switched the default back to master.
Imputed rent is meaningless since there’s no market discovery of the price.

It’s like asking what the position and momentum of particle is simultaneously. You can’t know the price of something you don’t intend to rent unless you rent it, but you’re not renting it because you have no intention of renting.

Even if you “pretend” to rent by putting out a fake add and then not signing the rental agreement, that doesn’t count. That only gives you the demand side of the price. Since you know that you don’t intend to actually rent your home, you will not give serious consideration the opportunity cost of renting out your home.
Microsoft asked me if I love Teams. I had to tell the truth
> In a wealthy society like outs, assets are exactly where you would see the inflation. Demand for staple goods isn't going to go up

Demand may not go up, but the costs for producers will and those costs are going to get passed to consumers.

Prices of many things, from meat to eggs to lumber, are already up a lot. I also see signs "sorry, our costs are rising, so we have to pass a portion of the increase to you" in supermarkets.

Printed money (in the real world, especially with a single party railroading it) will, for the most part, benefit those who do not need it. And the portion that will reach the lower incomes will be eaten away by taxes, inflation and rising costs of doing things.

> Like, hell, what is systemd-boot and when and why it replaced grub2?

I've been really happy with systemd-boot; in my limited (used it on probably a dozen machines across several distros at this point) experience, it's better at autodetecting nonstandard images/locations than grub, and is vastly friendlier to weird partitioning schemes. It also has a much more minimal config surface than grub, which I like (since, across distros, I no longer have to learn a distro-specific set of nested/included grub config files and conventions, nor do I have to worry about what will be auto-regenerated when a distro does a kernel update versus what configs I need to edit by hand). However, that limited config surface may be a drawback to people who need to customize very esoteric boot cases.

I also aesthetically prefer systemd-boot's minimalism and focus on newer (UEFI) boot strategies compared to grub; the latter is huge in terms of functionality. A lot of that size is needed for rare cases and older boot configurations (and if you fall into either group, grub is what you should use), but it complicates the "happy path" on post-2010 computers.

It’s not that demand evaporates, it’s that if you can afford $2500 a month mortgage, and interest rates at 2%, the value of house you can afford is much higher than at 4%. The limit on house prices is capped at what a family can pay per month combined with mortgage rate. So if rates go up, and you own a 800k house that is now 600k in resale because people can’t get approved for 800k mortgage now. So you are stuck and can’t move unless you can afford the loss.

* The first two are simply a rotation. Jews were back in favour, and Catholics were out.

* The third was something that happened in Cromwell's reign, but there's no evidence he contributed positively or negatively, and the fact that the monarchy followed up by supporting it and actually chartering the royal society seems to indicate that it had little connection to what the actual regime in power was.

* Primary education good, sure.

* So I was not familiar with the anglo-dutch war so I read the wikipedia article. This appears to be a trade dispute because the English wanted to look the dutch out of shipping to England that was escalated to war by the English after the Dutch refused their ultimatum? This is being offered as a "good" act?

So overall, I don't think funding primary education is an achievement that even begins to counterbalance his actions, sorry.

Besides, to go back to the example of Hitler (and no, this is not Godwin's law, Hitler is the most appropriate comparison to Cromwell in Irish history), Hitler was _great_ for technology. The germans started modern rocketry which led to our modern satelite communications, the allies invented computing, both sides made big leaps in industrial production.

I don't think anyone sensible thinks the above should be considered in a judgement on Hitler's actions. Neither do I think education/scientific funding should excuse Cromwell's.

We pull gold out of the ground all the time. It is finite only in theory.
My biggest beef with housing in the CPI is the fact that housing costs are underrepresented in general, and drastically underrepresented for some segments of the economy. The weight of housing in the index is something like 24%, but the average housing costs for the top 20% of incomes is closer to 29% of income, and it gets above 40% of income by the time you get to the bottom 20% of incomes.

So by underrepresenting housing's weight by that much, combined with the fact that housing prices are growing much faster than everything else in the index, combined with the drastic disparity in housings effectively "felt" weight on inflation for people of different incomes, and you get this problem: things may seem fine to a banker on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, while the bottom 20% rightly thinks our nation is going up in flames. There is a massive disconnect between what the metrics say and what people are actually experiencing, and nothing is happening about it because the metric still feels right to the wealthy people that control it.
I'm very happily using systemd since a bit less than a decade now. It's fantastic to have a common standardized way to manage your services and jobs that doesn't rely on a fragile set of scripts, and unified logs that can be easily queried and exported to a machine readable format.
The poorest have a negative net worth, so inflation reduces their debt.

The next lot have some wealth in property and pensions. Property especially benefits from inflation as the remaining mortgage reduces as a %age

Now sue, if inflation is high and wages don't increase with inflation that does effect the poorest, but the poorest are screwed anyway.

I agree that it’d be best to remember people as they are, not as the only good or bad characters we turn them into. It wouldn’t surprise me if honoring people’s memories is going to go out of fashion in general. It’s too easy to turn any single person into a villain. Maybe we’ll find a better way to honor a person’s accomplishments without turning them into an idol to be worshipped.

Every time I see a piece of money with someone’s face in it now, I wonder how much longer that face will be on there once that person’s flaws are put on display. I also find it interesting that the Euro doesn’t honor specific people. I’m guessing that’s because there’s no practical way to find people that all countries would like to see on the Euro.

> but except in mathematics we are never building on first principles

In practice, mathematicians also assume "that problems we don't deal with directly are taken care of by somebody else in good faith". We use theorems that others proved, and we trust that the authors and the reviewers did their job, without inspecting the proofs ourselves. Sometimes mistakes slip through, but they are usually caught fairly quickly, and can be fixed locally.
In other words, we are less strict than we like to think we are, but we get away with it perfectly well.
