Yup, and loans are also cheap in Japan. You can get a 35 year fixed-rate mortgage at 1.5% APR [1]. Build a new 3 bedroom house for JPY 20,000,000 (~$185K USD), and you're paying JPY 61,000 (~$560) per month for a brand new house designed to your tastes, with all the modern conveniences (note this doesn't include cost of land).

As an example of what that might get you, here's one of the first search results that comes up when looking for new houses in Omiya: https://www.athome.co.jp/kodate/6971997067/. The monthly payment on this house (including land) would be JPY 95,500 (~$880 USD).

I personally bought my house used, but I can also understand why almost all of my neighbors chose to build new houses.

That one is much simpler though, it's just a closed loop of people owing each other.

The interesting part is that it seems the motel owner was aware that the loop existed and would end up back with him, otherwise he would've been caught stealing from the tourist.

If he already knew this he would be able to get people together and agree to cancel all the debts, with no need for the external $100 to show up.
Fascinating! As someone not familiar with how the lymph system operates, do you care to explain how muscle contractions outside the brain cause the lymph system in the brain to expel waste? I understood the blood-brain barrier sort of insulated the brain from a lot of this kind of thing.
It's very possible that I misinterpreted the situation as effectively I got to this information through an overheard in discussions with other fluid dynamicists in school. I thought the information presented is kind of interesting, so I was surprised that no one continued to pursue this avenue of research. I'm glad that you find this interesting, perhaps this knowledge could be put to good use. Although, there may be there are other factors that I'm not aware of impacting the real world performance of this, as my specialty is not in wind turbines (not yet anyway).

Hmm, wouldn't the simplest explanation for the LM returning to the CSM before the TEI burn be for the simple reason of returning the two crew-members who went to the lunar surface to the CSM before initiation of the TEI burn?
That has nothing in common with emulating though. Running ARM code in x64 is emulating. If adding code were emulating than Linux is emulating Linux v0.1. Wine isn't an emulator. PCSX2 is an emulator.
Well, it's not like the SEC does anything meaningful these days anyway. Along with the FCC and FTC. In fact, I can't think of anything meaningful any of these agencies have done in recent history.

Edit: It's interesting this post in particular was so divisive. We don't have a well functioning market, my phone is effectively worthless these days, and monopoly and over-regulated corporate practices effect my day-to-day life in the most mundane of ways.

There isn't a delta because E=mc^2 isn't just describing a reaction, or a conversion. It is describing the fundamental equivalence between mass and energy. It is true even in situations where ΔE and Δm aren't defined.
> "The designs seem to make a bit more sense now, I was always perplexed at Ive's 'thinness at the expense of everything else' mindset"

And yet now we have the new iMac, the "thinnest iMac ever" at just 11.5mm. So it seems like Ive wasn't the only one at Apple obsessed with being thin.
I'd be dishonest if I told you I was able to compare them 1-to-1. I couldn't finish my Vite setup because of bugs and lack of proper SSR support.

I believe that, at this point, people are just nitpicking. When working on a client-side-only app, Vite is faster, but not by that much. In one of our apps, I saw it starting up in 1s compared to 2s with Webpack, and reloads in 100ms compared to 250ms. This is a Preact/TS/Emotion app that outputs almost 7MB of assets, 61 files to be precise, and works on IE11. And I hadn't even tried persistent caching with it yet. Webpack 5 with esbuild is a fast-enough solution.

NextJS is a well-established tool now and version 10.2 uses Webpack 5 under the hood. V11 is looking insanely fast (I suspect they replaced Babel with esbuild, and did some witchery): https://twitter.com/shuding_/status/1378086219708473344.

So yeah, slow performance with Webpack is definitely caused by a bad set of loaders/plugins. Eject a CRA app and you'll see a monster coming out.
It's closer to pollarding isn't it? But even that's more 'let's make the tree bushy at this height' than the 'let's have normal-looking trees above this point as a starting platform' that daisugi seems to be.

That's interesting to know. I didn't know that turbine manufactures are that state of the art. I mostly thought they are just building some sort of standard turbines and deploying it to different places like building houses. Evidently I'm mistaken. Perhaps I should investigate this area a bit further...
Agreed, I use webpack for small and medium projects and it's basically instant. I use TS but not the compiler - I tell babel to strip types and use just a few plugins, transforms and loaders.

I'm not in love but it's a core tool in almost all of my projects, personal and professional.
Yeah, and basically none of that is necessary. Which is my point exactly.

This is a really nice insight into the kernel's model of what's going on. It's probably not the best way for an absolute beginner to think about why they want this, but it's much better than some of the other explanations if you have trickier technical or performance questions, and it makes it obvious why it's clever and why you need the OS kernel to actually implement it.

It wasn't usable for the majority of the market. Even in the infamous mea culpa Apple made about it, they admitted they designed themselves into a corner. It was designed so poorly, they had to take years to undo it after admitting it needed to be done.

"Mr. Kallos, ...[said] the device’s presence in New York underscored what he called the “militarization of the police.” He said the robotic dogs resembled those featured in the 2017 “Metalhead” episode of the television show “Black Mirror.”"

Indeed, there's a resemblance and that's because the "dogs" in that episode were modeled after Boston Dynamics BigDog robot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalhead_(Black_Mirror)). Using a robot with such connotations in roles where it'll frequently interact with the general populace was a mistake.

M2 is a better chart now since they added savings accounts in May 2020 making the M1 misleading and hard to follow.

M2 is "M1 plus savings and time deposits, certificates of deposits, and money market funds".

Washington post has a good article talking about the cases for and against inflation rising [1]. This chart shows one case for inflation, cases against include supply chain problems, unemployment, and cautious households.

More context here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-sec-enforcement-director-al...
with a Federal Reserve Digital Dollar, at least under one proposal, the Fed could, as a matter of monetary policy, just create new dollars directly into everyone's personal Federal Reserve account. Most of the money they created here is still just sitting in big banks and isn't moving around so it does not really add to the velocity of money. If they could hand out all the new money to everyone with like a federal venmo app with USD stable coins that you can convert to cash at an ATM, then maybe they would have another lever to try to meet their 2% inflation goal.

> Americans putting their money into savings accounts and into the stock market.

What do savings accounts pay in the USA? We are getting much less than inflation here in New Zealand. A regular savings account might get 0.25% at best, and just 0.90% pa return for a 3 year term deposit (which is an investment not a savings account but short term term deposits are commonly used as pseudo savings accounts in NZ).

As for putting money into the stock market, surely that money needs to be spent eventually or moved into bonds, so couldn't the government just stop selling bonds to force spending?
I'm interested in the same question but from the opposite point of view: with the M1 a resounding success, is there a need for M2 through 5 to be a huge improvement? Asides from marketing.

My daily driver is a 2015 Macbook Pro. My iPhone is a 2016(?) 6S. My iPad is the original Air. I'd be happy to upgrade but for someone who lives in Books, Safari and Excel all day, they all work fine. I just can't justify it.

The M1 equivalents are leaps and bounds faster and there are plenty of people who need that power and more but... will 99.995% of Apple users notice further upgrades? Where do we go from here? What's the future of personal computing?

"It is describing the fundamental equivalence between mass and energy" I agree that this is widely agreed upon when referring to E=mc^2. It's almost a dogma by this point. But the derivation Einstein used to come up with his equation doesn't actually support said dogma. I'd really like to understand how this "fundamental equivalence" came about and the proof behind it, or if it's just dogma. E=mc^2 is a lot more profound than E=delta m * c^2. IIRC Einstein in the final sentence of his paper tries to generalize his result and jumps on the E=mc^2 train without backing it up.

What do you think of the current fear of hyperinflation?

When you refer to the Fed's tools for reducing the money supply, do you mean the selling of financial assets?

Since the average person has money saved and this is not greatly effected by the financial markets, does it not stand to reason that the Fed has limited power to reduce inflation outside of said financial markets? I.e. the price of things people care about such as food, services and rent will continue to rise even as the Fed sells assets?
i'm ready to impeach newsom, but polling seems to suggests it's unlikely. i'd happily sign a petition to impeach LA mayor garcetti as well, if any were organized to do so. the pandemic response here was beyond stupidly awful--a combination of what-if based fearmongering and a frenzy of unadulterated free (i.e., debt-fueled) federal money-grubbing.

the whole colored tier system was a farcical distraction from real mitigations like quarantining nursing homes and their staff who'd volunteer for 24-hour hero pay and 2-week on-off cycles (long enough to recuperate and re-quarantine), and asking people to distance indoors around familiars, which is where most transmission happens, rather than around strangers or out on the street where your silly mask-wearing does less than nothing. 90% of angelenos, by my anecdotal count, still wear masks outdoors, as if it were a talisman against impending death.

despite unceasing media howling, our infection rates held relatively steady for a year, until recently, when vaccinations finally started to have a real effect on those rates. none of that (double-)mask-wearing, excessive hand-sanitizing, overly restrictive retail-closing, and incessant surface-disinfecting propounded by the state/county/city did anything to mitigate spread, only modest distancing indoors and restricted interfamilial contact had much mitigative effect (and the latter could have been handled much less invasively and damagingly).

i'm decidedly unamused by the stupidity of it all and ready for new leadership of any stripe other than democrat or republican.
Yes. I prefer Android phones, but I don't want my choice of phone to impact the communication between my friends and family.

I don't work there anymore, but I always liked the idea of connecting the world.

The developing countries are being asked to pay astronomical costs for the vaccines which need to be imported and due to the limited supply (since they are only manufactured in some places) there is not enough supply.

Some of the folks are suggesting that the Pharma companies license the technologies to local production plants, like how Oxford-AstraZeneca is being manufactured in India so that they can manufacture it at a cheaper cost and reduce the stress on the global supply chain that is frankly struggling to meet the demand.

More radical folks are suggesting that the IP should be made open to all since it was funded by Tax dollars/Euros/Yen/Rupees etc. In fact the original plan was for Oxford to make its vaccine open access but the Gates foundation convinced them to not do that.

We can let the market tell us how much its worth. We can look at how much people are willing to pay for it.

How much extra is a customer willing to pay to have it shipped from amazon than go pick it up in a store?

How much cheaper is a seller willing to sell a product to have it on amazons store?
I started reading about M1/M2/M3 about a year ago, it is a fascinating topic. You are right about inflation being a function of money supply and velocity. Once you start to understand what is happening - it raises so many questions which are hard for a novice to answer like what happens if velocity increases? M1SL has always increased, can it be decreased? Incessant money printing is shafting the savers - should savers just have bought Bitcoin?
