> For those who bought now (me!) at high sticker prices and low interest rates, the mechanics don’t work in our favor. Interest rates are only likely to go up, which doesn’t allow refinancing at a cheaper rate. At the same time, (inflation-adjusted) sticker prices will go down.

This ignores the fact that, in some countries at least (e.g. Denmark), you reduce your debt if you refinance at a higher interest rate.

For example, if you financed your house with a $200,000 2% fixed-rate 30 year Realkredit loan, and the rate of interest increases to 4%, then you can refinance you existing mortgage at 4% but now you only owe $100,000.

This is how bonds work in general: a doubling of the rate of interest halves the bond price, and a halving of the rate of interest doubles the bond price.

In Scandinavia, contracting agencies are king. We've brewed up many local varieties of these, that are much smaller, probably a bit more skilled and generally don't deliberately take money from customers that clearly don't know what they're doing.

Directly employing most of one's required software engineers is largely a very new phenomenon, and not yet widespread.

In Norway, you'd have e.g. Evry, Itera, Bouvet, Miles, Computas as well as international companies like Steria, Accenture and CapGemini. They contract out developers at ~$125 an hour and pay a regular middle-class salary. A large portion of software engineers are employed at a company like this.

I did not specify who was conflating/mixing-up these distinct topics, or for what purpose. Racists often conflate countries/governments/populations, which is what Trump did with his "shithole countries" comments. He was referring to the people of those countries, i.e. the pool which immigrants would be members of (or, in his delusional mind, "sent by").

Note that if a country itself were a 'shithole', say for example a war-torn region like Yemen or Syria, that would only help the case for immigrants from that country; since the place they're fleeing is so bad.

On paper, that means you don't have to join the union in order to get a job - just pay the union fees and work under the union contract (which is to say, almost all the downsides of joining but without any actual say in how the union is run). In practice, I think people who do this tend to get blacklisted by the union and have trouble getting jobs in future. I know the Hollywood unions in particular are very aggressive and public about threatening anyone who takes that option with blacklisting, and there are zero consequences for them for doing this.
No, the law would be "decided" by judges. But actually they just make sure it's consistent with the constitution, which is higher law.

Its an amazing resource for people studying art or people teaching art.

Its a different experience than seeing it in person. However, there are benefits to both. I've seen gigapixel scans of some of the greatest paintings in history that let you zoom in on the tiniest details and see the brush strokes, the texture of the dried paint, the cracks and aging, etc. For some of the same pictures if I saw it in person I'd be a dozen feet or so away from it because its too valuable to let people get close. Entire objects are virtually invisible viewing some paintings in person.

One of the ways that budding artists rapidly improve is by copying the works of master artists as a study. It should be pretty clear how this tool might be useful to them.

>Part of what makes the Louvre or other museums special is being in a beautiful and decorated historically important space.

Architecture is great, but what makes the Louvre special is the caliber of their art collection. Some people will never be able to afford to see it in person. Why not let those people appreciate the art from afar?

Even if a person can afford to go on an expensive vacation, there's a million breathtaking places to visit in the world. One can't visit them all.

Social media need to be prohibited from promoting political groups / ads, and prohibited from making money from political parties.

The only political promotion they can / need to show is encouragement people to vote.

Should be the same with news promotion. I think except disaster, no news are allowed to be promoted by social media.

However users are free to follow any group / pages they like, whether it is political or news group, and add the regulation of feed algorithm as op suggested.

Social media that failed to follow that need to be regulated as news / political platform.

> “It is important to note that our work does not explicitly rule out Planet X/Planet 9"

I find this annoying. If it disproves their evidence, which I assume was the only known evidence for a 9th planet, then it does.

Add to this "Planet X" is tied to the original article, so if this kills all their evidence they also lose naming rights.

Trump seemed fairly determined to change the election outcome, presumably by getting some votes overturned. The fact that the plan was kind of disorganised and hopeless doesn't mean it didn't exist.

>"The vice-president has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.

> “I hope that our great vice-president . . . comes through for us,” Mr Trump told the rally. (https://www.ft.com/content/6ff4a677-eb2e-438e-ac48-bb5da5a0e...)

Sounded like he wanted to use the rally to pressure Pence to
"reject fraudulently chosen electors" and hence change the election outcome. Not sure if you call that a coup attempt or not but some people don't really buy the fraudulently chosen electors bit.

It is rarely (never?) discussed in the west how all the consumer goods are cheap simply because the supply chain relies on poor exploitable people and exploiting the environment.

All we hear about is the positive spin, how capitalism and globalization have blessed us with cheap goods and how those poor farmers halfway around the world now have paying jobs, woo-hoo!
> There is no telling whether you're actually buying an NFT from Jack himself

It's fairly easy to verify the origins of statements here, especially since Jack is on Twitter announcing his NFT on his timeline. What more than that do you need?

Same as you verify any celebrities selling movie props on ebay or whatever, if they haven't announced the sale via some other channel where they are already verified, don't trust that it's the real deal in the marketplace.

> Which is why the Beeple NFT sale didn't happen somewhere in the nether of the internet, but through Christie's, a 300 year old seller of art, after buyer and seller had communicated personally.

This is a feature, not a drawback. You can make the sale however you want, via bank transfer, cash in hand or actually transfer Eth to a wallet. What matters in the end is who stands as the owner in the blockchain, but how it gets there, is irrelevant.

> Also as a sidenote, you have actually no idea whether this particular blockchain will still be around in the future. In fact given the volatility of tech that's not really that likely to be honest.

This is a separate issue from NFTs and applies to the whole cryptocurrency space. For now, the $1.5 trillion market is disagreeing with you that it can disappear in the future, as otherwise people wouldn't put so much money into the ecosystem.

GCed language style just seem so messy to me. I like manual memory management. It forces you to think about lifetimes and encourages better design. Does an object persist or is it temporary? Maybe it's a good idea to have well defined state. GC languages encourage lousy thinking and design. GC pauses are still a thing as well.
You can. Is it the same? No.

Just as it's not the same if a random person tries to sell movie props from famous movies, compared to if the person actually being in that production in the first place.

How does this square with “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I believe that political speech is the category of speech which demands the greatest amount of protection and freedom from government meddling, even (perhaps especially) political speech that I disagree with, find inconvenient, or even abhor.

Government overreach by actors that I’m politically aligned with is to be rejected just as much as by actors I’m not aligned with. Don’t think of all the great things a government controlled by “your side” can do with all this power. Think of all the terrible things the “other side” can do with this power when they’re in control.
This is an awful clickbait article. Both the headline and most of the article itself reads as if Sweden did a good job. It didn't. It did a horrendous job! One should compare apples to apples and doing so shows that compared to other Nordic countries Sweden totally screwed up. This is shown in the numbers in the article but it does not read like this otherwise. 7% compared to zero in neighbouring country Norway on one side and 1% in Finland on the other shows that Anders Tegnell's strategy both failed miserably and killed 1-7%.

Shame on "Ms. Affirmative Action" at Harvard for "punishing" Martin Nowak with only two years of probation. Nowak aided and abetted a convicted child rapist by conspiring with fellow accused child molester and Epstein best buddy Alan "Dershbag" Dershowitz to help Mr. Epstein evade prosecution on pending federal racketeering charges in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to Harvard from Epstein's estimated $500 million estate, that was laundered in part through other members of Mr. Epstein's billionaire child sex-trafficking ring that includes Les Wexner, Leon Black, and Glenn Dubin.

Hopefully there are a few like-minded students at Harvard that will keep the pressure alive on their university's administration like these brave souls over at MIT are doing:

https://thetech.com/2021/02/25/mit-administration-epstein-op...

As for the punishment that Claudine Gay now deserves, that's a difficult one to decide. But if she has a daughter that is around the same age as any of the girls that Mr. Epstein abused on "Pedophile Isle," and like Alan Dershowitz, she believes that the age of consent should be lowered to 14 so middle-age guys can "partake of the forbidden fruit," as he likes to call it, maybe her daughter needs to be sent over to spend the night ... with Richard Stallman?

I can't ascribe specific motives to the actors but it is clear (has been clear for the past century) that large western economies/powers know exactly what they will lose with China rising.

>Interesting that UK/US/SA always the "bad" actor in your posts? Axe to grind?

China doesn't have a history of attacking Africans (ref. to my earlier example) or foreign countries in general for that matter...I specify this group (UK/US/SA/etc...) because they have a long history of putting economic interests over human life (especially foreign/indigenous life), continue to show that propensity to this day (zero sum mentality), and have deployed bioweapons around the world at various points over the centuries, in most cases, specifically for economic reasons.

History says the shoe fits...not too long ago the US was testing bioweapons on their own unaware domestic population, older Californians are aware of this history.
