In fact, you'd be surprised how critical people actually are of Amazon in my neighbourhood.

There is more information about the 300-1000 period than is commonly assumed. It’s not as solid as earlier or later, but people have done a lot of research and analysis and it is no longer the “dark ages”.

If you follow the British History podcast, he covers this period in a lot of detail. What we don’t know can be frustrating but what we do know is illuminating.

> The foundation of the program would be quite simple: public ownership of housing, acquired or built with government loans—though run by local for-profit or nonprofit property managers—and rented at market price.

I'm not an economist, but "market price" in this context does not seem very sensible. If I have the choice of paying the same rent for traditional housing versus housing that I can build equity in, I would end up wanting the equity. So really that should be worth more and command a higher price.

If instead they're going to fix the price of public rents so that you're not paying a premium for it, then it's not really market price and will lead to a lot of the same issues that rent control does.

> Becoming rich and then helping millions of people with your means is more impactful than being poor and helping dozens.

Is it though? E.g. Bill Gates got insanely rich because his company engaged in anti-competitive behavior, thus causing lots of harm. You can easily make a point that often the damage that is caused to others if larger than the gain for the individual, so even if they spent 100% of their wealth, they couldn't make up for the damage they have caused.

In that case, maybe it's better to look at medicine and the Hippocratic Oath: first, do no harm.

It's interesting to hear the complaints about SQL in this thread and consider how they apply to GraphQL. Yeah, there _are_ huge security and DOS threats when you allow the front end to send arbitrary queries in a rich query language. The work of mitigating those threats that will be tedious, meticulous, and vulnerable to error.

I personally know how to mitigate the risks better in a middle-tier GraphQL server than in a database, but I'm open to the idea that database security controls might be up to the job, too, if not now, then maybe in the future.

I would want to see a lot of data, for a lot of different kinds of programs, to back up this claim.

> So is time you spend thinking about the behaviour of the code in your head

You have to do this anyway; static typing doesn't write your code for you. Even Haskell, which I will freely admit is probably the closest thing to an AI that I've ever seen in a programming language, can't do that. :-)

> your code will almost always be silently unsound

Code that has type annotations has this same problem. That was the point of my response: static typing != sound code.

> libraries you're using will usually have incorrect type annotations

They can't be incorrect if they aren't there. The comparison I'm making is not between code with correct type annotations and code with incorrect ones. It's between code with type annotations and code without any of them at all.

that's a decent and succinct summary of the situation, and perhaps why the hybrid funding model of subscriptions, ads, and classifieds balanced out to objective-ish news for the few decades before the internet flattened out the business model entirely.

the news industry is roughly $100B in the US (depending on how you define it). as a thought experiment, maybe we could give each of our 330M residents $300/year (~10% of the military budget) to spend on any news source, and only news sources, and preclude other forms of revenue for the industry. that'd make journalism directly accountable to the entirety of the population rather than just to moneyed interests.

The Wealth Effect is a real consideration here. During 2007 people cut their spending considerable because their houses went down in value, even if they were not, at that time, trying to sell their home. You would see the wealth effect work similarly if cypto assets were devalued.

As an example, I have 5-20k in crypto assets on any given day. My wife and I are also shopping for a new couch. If my crypto assets evaporated we would not be shopping for a new couch, nor would we be going out for dinner tonight, despite the fact that I am not spending down crypto assets to fund either of those purchases. The psychology behind it is that people adjust to a certain amount of "savings" and will adjust purchasing to get back to that level if their savings changes quickly and substantially.

futures and swaps do not pay dividends, so the dividends on 3x funds are imputed in the nav, adjusted incrementally everyday . I compared a 3x of the DIA (UDOW) to the 1x version and found that the 3x outperform in such a way that the only reason for the discrepancy is 3x dividends.
That was less about the Superbowl returns (the return window on electronics is 90 days, you can easily get a TV, have a Superbowl party, and return it still).

It's more the depreciation and how quickly electronics evolve. People were using the returns as a free lifetime of upgrades.

One particularly stark example when I worked there a long time ago was someone who wanted to upgrade their old projection TV.

So four years after they bought it they brought it in and returned it. They got about $4k back. They walked out on the floor, picked up a brand new LCD TV for $2k and almost half a decade after their original purchase they walked out with a brand new, upgraded TV and $2k in their pocket.

You can imagine how this can be abused with most electronics that Costco sells. Imagine going in and getting a brand new upgraded laptop every 2-3 years for the rest of your life after a single couple thousand dollar purchase.

I think it is most interesting that the PS3 was designed with the limitation of the CMOS battery in mind. As in, it was acceptable for the battery to run out in 15 years even with the network requirement. Maybe it was because the PS3 was one of the first consoles with a hard dependency on an internet service, and nobody bothered to look far enough into the future for the new implications. When someone thinks about a future where the PS6 exists, the conversation inevitably shifts back to the PS5, because the former is not perceived as an inevitability.

15 years, in the long-term span of things, doesn't seem like that long of a time period. It only sounds like it because we don't live that long, so 15 years is a significant portion of our lives, sometimes even a third of it or less.

Whenever an entertainer or someone reaches their N-year anniversary, I'm reminded that their career might not even last five more years, especially the ones whose youth or lack of it influences managerial decisions.

Opening Twitch, there were now zero streamers playing some games that were released only 6 years ago, even for big releases like the previous Smash Brothers. They still had a count of over 100,000 subscribers.

It really solidifies how transient a lot of human culture is. Games are shipped, money is made (or not), some of the titles are caught on the filter, the rest are forgotten.

Most likely, there were dozens of developers that poured out their heart and soul for some of those titles. Some of them might have had to suffer through crunch or the working environments of burakku kaisha with the cost of a lasting mental and/or physical toll. It's parts interesting and disheartening to think that some of their legacy will only ever have the lifespan of a CMOS battery.

In a world where emulation was illegal, I wonder if Sony would truly be comfortable with watching the last aging PS3 rust away and letting the console become nothing more than a footnote in the history books, one that future generations would only be able to imagine experiencing, despite the technological capability for preservation being right in front of them the whole time. Maybe that's how little value the experience as a whole would carry to them. People move on, and there are always shiny new ideas to think of.
Yes. That is why apart from Apple Music+ ( and iCloud ), all the other services does not have a fix COGS to each user but large one off cost.
I think the focus on automotive manufacturers has been exaggerated. Automotive orders are definitely a contributing factor, but the popular narrative is putting too much emphasis on a single industry.

The reality is, like you said, demand for consumer devices across the board has spiked. Not just cars, but phones and video game consoles and everything else. Cars are a part of it, but I don't see how we would have avoided a chip shortage if auto makers hadn't cancelled some previous orders and then resubmitted them.

I'm happy to pay annually if the product is good and the 2 months off makes it worth it.

Without 2 months off I'd pay monthly because canceling is easier.

With 2 months off the reasoning is I like the product and can save some and don't have to think about the monthly cost. If in a year I don't find myself using it I can then decide on renewal.

Usually it's like $5/month or $50/year or something - I generally dislike tiny monthly subscriptions, it obscures costs and feels like death by a thousand cuts. With annual I can think about the value and decide and the 2 months savings makes it worth it.
There seems to be a double standard in every company that I applied to where the perks are more generous for US staffs. My friend works for an Australian unicorn expanding to the US who offers RSU for US staff but only share maching for Australians.
So why not pass that along to the consumer? If we were talking about a quarter an article before, now it's thirty five cents. I'd still pay it. My point was that the technology seems good enough now. I'll admit I could be way off on the price for it to be economically feasible, but I'm still very curious what that is. Based on what I read, see and hear, many of us have "subscription fatigue".

>E.g. a multi-billionaire like Ray Dalio is already rich. He's the one saying "cash is trash" because he like many others see the M2 money supply growing very rapidly which erodes future purchasing power.

As I have said in previous comments, the Fed has been unable to erode future purchasing power, because the excess savings rate increases to compensate for the increase in the money supply.

> (The "cash is trash" also means not holding US Treasury government bonds because of inflation.)

But the entire problem is that the newly printed money ends up in exactly those places. Negative interest rates are impossible, because people can just get cash or rather, they get cash equivalents, namely treasury bonds. The Chinese government is using excess dollars from its trade surplus to purchase treasury bonds. The money put into treasury bonds can only be tapped into by issuing new debt, thus excess savings (uninvested savings) are being created. The government has to employ people on behalf of the Chinese investors otherwise the end result is unemployment because the household savings rate has to go down which means spending more than you earn.

>Yes, the Fed + US Govt can have all sorts of rationale to justify $2 trillion stimulus checks and printing billions to buy corporate bonds (Home Depot bonds), bail out banks, etc ... but economic actors can also counteract the money supply expansion by taking steps to retain future purchasing power. E.g. Shift wealth into real estate, tech stocks, gold, bitcoin, etc.

The problem with this strategy is that it is built on the existence of excess savings. If the inflation rate were to go up, which eats away at corporate savings, companies would be forced to find viable investments and thus generate jobs. The existence of these investments would allow the Fed to raise the interest rates again and excess savings would flood out of treasury bonds and other cash equivalents into regular bank accounts and corporate bonds again. That means stocks, real estate and cryptocurrencies would go down, precisely because inflation is going up i.e. because your future purchasing power is eroding.
