The creation of that money is no different from any other government spending though. Usually people call swapping bonds for reserves "printing money" (AKA Quantitative Easing) or issuing reserves without the Treasury first issuing bonds on the primary market "printing money". But there is very little difference between issuing bonds "out of thin air" and issuing reserves "out of thin air". Most notably, from the perspective of the private sector, the fact that banks can satisfy their regulatory requirements by owning bonds just as well as they can by having reserves (and the fact that they can typically swap that collateral for reserves as required directly with the Fed) means that there is literally no immediate difference between the two.

So the term "printing money" is fallacious -- either that or you must call all bond issuance and federal spending "printing money" but that would make the term far less dramatic.
Lucidchart makes good-looking diagrams. But my problem with them has always been their distance from the code.

Satoshi (or one of his friends) owns 5% of all bitcoins that will ever exist.

I wouldn't call it a get rich quick scheme for its founder(s) because I doubt they could have known it would take off the way it did.

But, at this point, I don't know that intent matters. Imagine if Bitcoin really did become a dominant currency... one guy would own 5% of it, a deflationary currency! The "fiat billionaires" don't come anywhere close to that kind of concentration of wealth.

Bangkok is absolutely full of view likes this, in no small part due to lax planning regulations. Also there are many tall buildings with bars on the top.
These days anywhere desireable to live, and likely all known available farm land, is already owned by someone or some company.

Vagabonding isn’t what it used to be, insofar as there is seemingly not even the remotest chance in modernity of backdooring your way into zero cost homesteading. Societal advancement has come at the cost of those opportunities which have more or less vanished.
If the annual increase is capped at 2% and inflation is >2% then the value reaped by property tax will eventually go to 0.

I’m not related to the project, but what stood out to me is the fast reloading between changes, and the optimizations that went into making that happen. Today with webpack, sometimes changes take a full 1-2 seconds to be reflected in the browser and while that’s not terrible, having something refresh in 100s of milliseconds is a game changer at least for me and my frontend workflow.
This strongly depends on the purpose...

While I can't say about these specific buildings, I do agree that complaining about skyscrapers in New York seems weird. In general given enough time every eyesore becomes an iconic part of the city.
As someone who has lived on 57th street for most of their life, it's not all roses. 57th street used to be a vibrant street full of a variety of businesses. Back in the 70s & 80s when the 40s and 50s of Manhattan were filled with street prostitution (on the west side) and brothels (on the east side, and they're still there), 57th street used to be where you started to get respectable looking buildings and shops to fill them.

Now from end to end across Manhattan, most of 57th Street is becoming vacant in preparation for construction. The process is likely to take 20 or 30 years to complete, similar to what happened on 10th Avenue. There is more money to be made by letting buildings sit empty for years. 250 West 55th, at the cross street of 55th & 8th avenue, was an empty corner lot for 28 years while they waited for the rest of the buildings on the block to become vacant for teardown.

Some areas are especially derelict -- between 5th and 6th Avenue in particular. It's an absolute eyesore and source of daily construction noise and will likely be so for the rest of my natural life.

This has ruined my neighborhood.
I love Plantuml. This and xmind are my two favorite tools. Has anyone ever heard of a vscode plugin that will render the plantuml scripts into images and embed them into code? I'm thinking of a program (c, c++, java, python... whatever) that has plantuml in a comment. the plugin could render that as an image and show it in place of the comment. then it could provide an "edit" button to view/edit the comment.

The number of buildings in walking distance to a train station is very limited. Your case can't be generalized.

The number of buildings within close commute distance of an airport is even more limited, airports are big and loud and no one wants one close to the city center.

Take, for example, travel from Buckingham Palace to the Louvre, the cities are they are connected by a high speed train, but neither source or destination is within close walking distance. The total trip length by train is 3:30 including taking a train to St Pancras, Eurostar high speed rail to Gare du Nord, then a train to the Louvre.

By plane, LHR to CDG is only 1:20. Paddington station to LHR is only around 15 minutes, but it'll take you 20 minutes to get to Paddington. And once you get to the airport, allow 10 - 15 minutes from the Heathrow Express train to the terminal. So you've got 50 minutes of travel time to your get. And you need to allow time for security, and to get to your gate so get there 30 minutes early. Now you're up to 1:20 just to get to your flight.

Airports, being so large, are located far from downtown, so it'll take you 45 minutes by train to get from CDG to the Louvre, but add 15 minutes to get off the plane and walk to the train. So that's an hour.

So you've got 1:20 + 1:20 + 1:00 = 3:40 by air.

Yes. Roads can also be optimized.

LA has devoted around 30% of its land area to roads, yet they still have some of the worst traffic congestion in the country, how much can roads be optimized?
Literally every issued asset in history has a "premine", but somehow last decade's crypto aficionados find this controversial. It's so strange to even care and the market obviously does not care because there is like half a millenium of it never caring.

It's nice to see the crypto market maturing and ignoring these people so segregated from every other financial market because they never traded anything else. Low float, "pre-mined" assets are in vogue and represent a more compatible funding model for continued development and personal riches than whatever was happening just a few years ago, let alone through the last decade in crypto.

You should ignore the "egalitarian ideology", or completely take advantage of it by launching a Chia-clone without a premine while you simply provide all the storage space first and get the exact same "insta-mine" result while advertising it to people like you that actually care about no premines. A dozen ways to get the same result, its all marketing.
I always assumed it was because the name looked like spam nonsense, which is why I put the explanation in this one. I got over it pretty quickly, but thank you for the gesture.
The most newly contentious formerly 'commonplace view' is the position that 'we should treat people for who they are, not for their race, gender' etc..

This is actually the fault line between classical progressives and newer groups. CRT hinges on the notion that groups are marginalized in a million unseen ways, in which case, one simply cannot ignore anothers race, rather one must make assumptions about that person's group characteristics to inform one's judgement, presumably, empathetically.

So MLK's famous proclamation: "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" ... is now effectively a 'problematic' signal for one group, it's now 'out group behaviour' in their view.

I don't have a problem at all with those seeking to think they are actively helping, but am very opposed to the intolerance and absolution implied by those groups who can no longer accept those abiding by MLK's virtues.

It's very odd because most people over a certain age have spent their life being told about those virtues, and are now told that it's 'unacceptable'.

Edit: I should add, the degree of intolerance of these views is expressed by the sanctioning of certain kinds of workplace diversity programs (CRT), which are of course 'required training' in many companies and government sectors. [1]

My hunch is that Bitcoin is actually a project to promulgate Austro-libertarian economics and "Satoshi" is actually a bunch of people hired by stratospherically wealthy libertarians (like the guy that founded Renaissance who is tight with the Mercers). Call me crazy, but after hearing the correlation between people becoming interested in Bitcoin and Austro-libertarianism simultaneously I can't help but think it's a deliberate project.
A mostly self-driving car could work and I can't speak for the Texas Triangle, but most of the south has horrible public transit.

An interesting example, perhaps, is Raleigh, NC to DC. Raleigh has awful public transit options. The public transit in DC is pretty great actually. Driving (in the best case) is six hours, and Amtrak is about 7.5 hours.

Still, who in their right mind would ever willingly want to drive in DC traffic? If you are going to DC for the weekend, the Amtrak wins every single time in my opinion; even with a mostly self-driving car.

This is what you believe, not what I believe. In fact, I think people should be free to build buildings I think are ugly.

It seems plausible.

Earth has a radius of about 6400 km. That makes half of the circumference about 20100 km.

For something you release to spread all the way around the world in a year requires it to spread out from you at about 20100 km/year. That is about 2.3 km/hr, or about 0.6 m/s or about 25 inches/second.

I've never tried to measure it, but my recollection of about how long it has taken after something nearby emits a strong odor for that odor to reach my nose is that the speed is in that ballpark.
Why would you pick those two projects? They are both actively developed, and have recently released stable versions.

> In summary - if user input on a private adventure is flagged using an automated system, it will be manually reviewed, with other private user adventures potentially being manually reviewed as well. With almost half of the userbase being involved with NSFW stories, this seems like a tremendous misstep, as users have an expectation that their private adventures are, well, private.

I would assume they want to review the inputs to avoid a repeat of the incident where Microsoft's Twitter bot was trained to say inappropriate things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)
I'm not sure what you're even trying to say here. Whoever wrote that response is quite clearly authorized speak on behalf of Gamaleya and the Sputnik V vaccine team, and while I'm sure there are plenty of conscientious scientists at Gamaleya, as Derek says this really is the worst possible public response.

Tackle the problem seriously, sort out the manufacturing process, and the world will have one more weapon in the fight against COVID. But if the response to every piece of bad news is "hurr hurr political fake news", then nobody will trust Sputnik-V, and quite rightly so.

I consider myself a very politically informed person. I'm not a politically active person however, largely for the reasons mentioned in the article.

I considered myself a liberal by the standards of the time I grew up in. My views on some social issues, particularly 'free speech', are considered a conservative now. I am one of the people the article is concerning who will not publicly voice their political opinions in the workplace for fear of potential repercussions. One thing that particularly upsets me, is how willingly other people bring up politically sensitive issues in the workplace. I regularly hear woefully uninformed diatribes on geopolitics and American domestic politics (I do not live in America) in the workplace. Even correcting people who are clearly misinformed on clear matters of fact can cause offense. As a result, I do not enter into such discussions.

I feel as though I am more open-minded than many others. I am always ready to be corrected if I am wrong, and I am always willing to discuss my views with people subscribing to other political ideologies. However, I fear the repercussions of offending others who do not have an open mind. I also feel as though many politically active people are not acting in good faith. I feel that the safest option I will not regret is not to engage.
Not even. plenty of first-world cities expect skyline changes. This attitude toward change (anti-change) comes from SF and has migrated elsewhere. NYC was the antithesis to this attitude but apparently it's not immune to this line of thinking.

It's like they think mountains do not move. Rivers always run the same course. It's comical and tragic.
I remember working at a company that had a library room which was sometimes booked for meetings.

Every single time I was in a meeting there, without fail, at least one progressive person in the room had to loudly make some negative remark about Ayn Rand and scoff, sigh loudly, or roll their eyes to express their disapproval. Maybe they'd do all three at once. It was a real meme. I think this was because the room had a poster with quotes from various authors and Ayn Rand may have been on the list, although I'm unclear in my memory.

I always found it funny, the behavior was over-the-top childish coming from grown adults. I just bit my tongue, they were otherwise decent people as coworkers.
Attempts to equate 1) zoning that prevents buildings one doesn't like; and 2) zoning that prevents sources of pollution is a fairly tired false equivocation.
Don't try to describe a viewpoint that you're only familiar with from stereotypes. It doesn't contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way, and only serves to further propagate the stereotype.

The problem Republicans (in general) have with government-run businesses is not that they operate at a lower cost and so thwart competition, but that they seem to operate at a lower cost because they run on tax dollars rather than on paying customers. Combine that with the fact that the government is not incentivized to make the business profitable and you have a lot of wasted resources used to provide a service that isn't any good but is so cheap to the end user (not to the taxpayer) that it's impossible to compete.

Whether this model of government-run systems is accurate is open to debate, but it's not helpful to set up straw men.
Interesting take, considering the article we are talking about discusses how billionaires are hiding assets overseas (well, from overseas relative to us) in our housing. Don't you think that's driving up pricing.

Anyway, I disagree with your article's point of view. I don't think letting more people live in San Jose or NYC would unlock huge 10% improvements to GDP, and, even if it were, there's a value to being able to live in single family homes. If WFH is here to stay, then my suspicion is that NYC is going to continue suffering from its 2020 housing glut.

It’s not the only wrapper around GPT-3, but if you might enjoy a bit of machine-assisted creative storytelling it is the cheapest AFAIK, and every game is certainly unique. AI-D can sometimes be an entertaining and/or revealing journey into your own neuroses. Just be aware that Latitude’s privacy policy is “we might read all your stuff”, and that they have form when it comes to treating customers like cattle.

And note that the client app is a SPA of very questionable quality. Whatever Latitude’s strength might be, it sure ain’t web programming. I was unsurprised to hear of a vulnerability and I suspect there’ll be others lurking.
I find it far easier to get along in work environments by never discussing sports, religion or politics. Sports, because I don't care; religion and politics - because I want to get my work done and go home. I have worked with people who wore both on their sleeves all day long and found them to be uniformly unpleasant to work with.
The idea that enterprises have tons of "over-provisioned" storage is hilariously cute. Do the Chia guys really think engineers at FAANGs haven't found ways of using that storage for something useful? :-)

Storage workloads aren't uniform. Some need to have localized, reliable, consistently performing persistent storage with room to absorb sudden demand spikes (like customer data on cloud clusters). Others can be stored anywhere and moved with ease, with few requirements on latency, redundancy on a global scale, and read-mostly workloads, which means immediate loss of a single local copy is harmless (like YouTube videos). FAANGs have long since figured this out and how to optimize their storage utilization.

There is zero chance one of them is going to up and decide that Chia is a better use of their "spare" (not really) storage capacity if they have anything resembling competent engineering teams. I know Google does.
