> Most of the folks around me would also disagree, based on personal experience (their purchasing power took a serious nosedive in the last 20 years or so).

Anecdotes are not evidence - a lot has changed in 20 years. Your friends work may no longer be valued as highly by the market, or other social policies like not tying minimum wage to inflation, may have taken a toll.

The BLS tracks this. [1] The fact they haven’t gone up more, however, is a social issue and not a monetary policy issue.

> Many folks I know who are essentially either clueless or simply uninterested in finance are entirely oblivious to the fact that they're being slowly but surely being bled dry via inflation.

You claim ... the fed isn’t telling people inflation is designed to track a 2% target?

I’m sorry that folks are ignorant of how something so important works, but it does so for a reason. When I hop into a car and smash it against a wall, I don’t get to claim “many people are ignorant of how the accelerator works.” Tons of people go to prison for crimes they're ignorant of - that doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws.

This is just an argument for high school home-ec and econ 101 to be mandatory.

The lower strata is the least affected because as I’ve shown wages kept pace with inflation and they’re not saving so there’s nothing to inflate away except their debts. Between the record low interest and debts denominated in dollars of the year of issue, in aggregate they likely stand to gain.

> ... and there are folks who strongly disagree with you:

There are folks who disagree with the curvature of the earth, the efficacy of vaccinations and the existence of birds.

The article you linked suggests based on a taco truck the rate of inflation is 30%, and has trivially sensationalized quotes like:

Between 2010 and now, the Burrito Index has logged a 30% increase, more than *triple* the officially registered 10% drop in purchasing power over the same time.

Well, without bothering to check anything about this claim, the article was written in 2016 so to obtain a 30% drop in the 7 years the inflation rate would be 2.5% (1.025**7). That's not triple, thats 25%, and the 2% target is a long-term rough goal. 2.5% is within that range. The man's burrito calculator doesn't take into account changes in taxes, in minimum wage, and other trivially recognizable things like how popular the burrito truck is. Zero inflation doesn't mean the price of a burrito will never change. Sheesh.

Australia’s high-speed dual carriageway motorways are quite safe too, so speed by itself isn’t the issue.

The riskier roads are single carriageway highways where vehicles with drowsy/impaired drivers can lose control and veer off the road into a tree or onto the other side of the road into an oncoming car.

Notably, the most dangerous road in Victoria is the Western Highway, which is a single-carriageway road that joins two major cities that are about 9 hours drive apart, and is Australia’s second-busiest road for freight.

You know how I know you've never worked with infantrymen, lol? A conscripted army by definition has lax standards of vetting and lesser standards of training (you're only holding on to your investment for a couple years). Russia has conscription (or recently did), it's not a strong indicator of anything. These are regular people. There's nothing magical about getting yelled at for 90 days that makes them less likely to solve problems with violence. People always trot out this point about military service but it's such a useless comparison and I think it actually harms their argument rather than helps it.

> For day-to-day operations, believing in such an entity is 'fine', as carrying around some more complicated idea can bog one down. Most of us don't have degrees in philosophy and metaphysics. Newtonian physics and gravity is fine for most of us as well; no need to get into Einstein.

The only thing I'd say about this is that the omni-God which is everything and being itself is actually less complicated than the God in the bible or any other holy book, who said and did certain things and did not say or do certain other things. A God who's nature is constrained for some reason, even if that reason is beyond our understanding. That God, which I think I'm safe in guessing is the God that most theistic people believe in, is much more complicated than the "superlative" God.

I understand the line of reasoning that makes "God" into a word that refers to everything. I get where Aquinas is coming from. As somebody who no longer believes in any god or gods, I even agree with him to a far greater extent than I agree with most theists. However, I think that what Aquinas describes is different enough from what "God" means to most theists to merit a different term. Christians are relatively new to the game of God-making; they can't just say that everybody else has got it wrong.

> That fact we use the term "god(s)" for them as well as the Christian God is an artefact of language.

I disagree; I think it's an artifact of history. The Christian God is the Jewish God, and the Jewish God was comparable to the gods of other cultures. Specific entity, specific communiques, specific intent.

The "artifact of language" arises much, much later: It is Aquinas and others attempting to use the word "God", which has an ancient meaning, to describe a totally abstract metaphysical concept.

The GitHub "network graph" is most known for exploring fork activity, but even in a single repo scenario with no forks you can still use it as a cudgel to show some idea of the complex graph if you need to stick with GitHub provided visualization tools. (It doesn't help that several UX redesigns have done nothing but bury the network graph, but it's still around.)

You might think about investing in a copy of a client that puts the graph up front for that developer, such as GitKraken.

Though I've actually had good success with a tool that is free and already out of the box in most git installs: gitk. gitk is ugly, but it gets the idea across and is easier to teach most developers to use than trying to get them to remember to add the --graph flag to git log. (Though adding a good alias for `git log --graph` or some further relative like `git log --graph --oneline` and encouraging them to use the alias instead is also another option.)

It's funny that everyone thinks PE is the only source of capital from SpaceX. SpaceX gets most of their income from the government including generous subsidies like those for Starlink.

In fact, SpaceX would not exist without the governmental effort to create a private space industry which has pumped a LOT of money into SpaceX and competitors.

But the conversation is always around investors and not about those who actually made this possible, the American tax payer.

> People have mandatory health insurance and social security, means there is no need to shoot people for money

Even European countries with a decent social safety net still have some drug addicts (mainly heroin) who are desperate for money to buy that expensive drug and will engage in petty crime to do so, e.g. pickpocketing, mugging, bicycle theft, theft of copper wiring, etc. (And yes, some states provide assistive infrastructure for addicts, but there are still demographics that avoid it and continue their addict to street drugs.) The fact that there is almost no shooting going on has more to do with legal and/or cultural pressures on guns than the existence of a welfare state making life OK for everyone.
But this is all in the context of Switzerland, where guns are also commonplace and therefore available for use in other types of violence.

The text exaggerates your point a little bit.

"ju" would be pronounced the same as "you" when speaking.
And "Ei" would be just the same as "I".

"tok" = talk
"bi" = be
All of the above would sound exactly the same when spoken.
>So if they have forced conscription, where does the vetting come in? Do they exempt, not conscript, the people who look particularly killy?

Presumably people with mental illness or certain criminal convictions are excluded?

>Why that is may be up for debate, but I certainly don't think a couple years of conscripted service right out of high school plays a role--or else you'd never hear about American vets killing anyone.

This is likely self selecting. If everyone in Switzerland serves then their average vet is essentially their average citizen, the murder rate for an Average American is probably low. The type of people who enlist in the US are not typically "average."

Proving that some axioms imply a conclusion does not prove the truth of the conclusion, when the axioms themselves remain unproven. For example:

Axiom 1) All comments by whatshisface are right.

Theorem 1) This comment is right.

Proof: Whatshisface wrote this comment.

That's a proof in the mathematical sense and there's nothing wrong with it in that way, but that it has nothing to do with the truth of the theorem.

I think it is the lack of mental asylums here in US for Norway keeps the difficult cases off of the street that would best explains the disparate murder rate between two countries.

Norway has a rigorous involuntary admittance into mental asylums; US has at most strictest, 3-day VOLUNTARY admittance.

It is arguable that US mental asylums were dismantled by US Mental Health Systems Act of 1980.

In 1980 to 1993, Feds have shriveled up the states’ funds earmarked for fixed mental facilities and dedicated psychiatric hospitals of which took decades to recover in some form of private-funded psychiatry hospitals but still in no way covering all the US needs required for such care due to its “voluntary”-only approach and perhaps the lack of personal funding needed for its own mental health.

So, could that be the small price that US citizens pay for allowing freedom for some “insane” of their citizens just to roam ... freely and with unchecked access to firearms?

Like any other business service, PP works for some businesses and maybe not for others. I'm in the category of a small home business making a hardware product that only ships within the US. PayPal has got me covered. They have the customer protections that people seem to like when dealing with a nearly unknown business. They let me run my business from a passive web page and an e-mail address. They offer USPS first class mail as a shipping option, which saves me a lot of money on shipping. The USPS website forces you to use priority mail.

Would I pay less for the same service? Sure. Am I aware of the horror stories? You bet. Do I explore other services? Yes.

On the other hand, a purely digital business that already has a website, and is moving stuff internationally? Maybe there are better options.

NFT's generally don't make sense to me, but targeting a specific real-world market is a rare use case that seemingly makes sense. The patterns already exist in terms of Fantasy Sports, betting on sports, collectors sports cards, etc.

Anything digital being scarce is typically artificial for sake of, but in this case it's for the meta of the 'game' that they're playing and is ironically a centralized version of crypto that so many crypto people tend to rail against. Yet it's insanely popular.

Sounds to me like a publicity stunt -- they "accidentally published" a press release a month early? Sorry, that doesn't happen.

my second favorite car was my TDI Beetle Convertible (2013) and I would be more than willing to line up to buy a BEV version of the same. The closest it appears I will get is an Audi TT which may be the first mass production convertible to be available; the Tesla Roadster of past doesn't count.

Their current BEV platform is a good first shot, I am disappointed in the lack of front trunk but I expect they will eventually go that way. The real issue this platform suffers from but should be a software fix is that they don't support auto negotiation with charging stations. Even Ford is able to do so with Electrify America yet VW who backed it cannot.

As for the name change, its fitting provided they quickly move to an all electric fleet. There are some nice variations of the ID.* platform coming and the .Buzz is the neatest of them all in my book. By quickly I mean get there five years before everyone else.
