Inflation on necessities like food/transportation will cause social issues and destabilize society. If you mass printing money, then such money needs to find a place to park themselves, most likely target would be the assets.
Usually I have the same reaction, but this article in particular actually does a good job of distinguishing and showing a lot of different cuts such as change over time and slice average versus percentile thresholds. It actually directly addresses a lot of questions I've had for years and never seen expressed as clearly.

Right at the top the terminology clearly delineates the two:

> These economists have been seeking to measure income inequality and wealth inequality, and to understand the nature of the 1 percent’s income and assets.
> Y Combinator backed MMO metaverse game has become a giant fiasco

Would be editorialized enough to provide context, but not as much of a click-bait title.
That is where we are headed for sure - our version control allows very granular addressing of content (i.e. an equation or figure). We haven't quite got to the hashing stage yet, because we aren't quite sure what all fits in the content, is the author, date, license also hashed in there? Also right now the way we store our content is still evolving pretty fast as it is more than just a text file etc. that we are storing.

Would love other pointers/thoughts if you have them.

I think this is a really powerful feature for sure.
I was in a similar situation with email. In 2005 or so I was migrating to new computer when I found a directory of photos I forgot to back up. Rather than burn them to DVD or upload them to my domain, I decided to just email them to myself. I sent a handful of images, then replied to that same email with the next 10, and so on, until the five dozen or so images were uploaded in a single email thread.

When I went to open the email on my new machine, the loading indicator just spun and spun until finally my browser crashed. When viewing an email conversation, Gmail will display previews of all the emails in the chain, including their attachments, which was causing my browser to crash. Next I tried connecting my Google account to Apple Mail, but Gmail's SMTP server would time out before the attachments were able to download.

After a while I forgot about the photos all together, until I randomly stumbled across them while searching my Gmail account for some other files I had sent myself around that time. At this point it was 2014 or so, and my browser was very easily able to open the messages so I could download the photos, which of course at that point I had zero interest in.
You can up an Opensea storefront for the NFTs.
Opensea lets you collect a small percentage of NFT value when they are resold by someone who isn`t you.

I think other market places might let you do that too.
I'm not sure if I just can't find this information or if people exploiting government aid are just silent about it.

These things happen because there are people who are trained to exploit these situations.

But there are definitely levels to it.

One way to do it is to just start a bunch of projects that will fail in countries that cannot meet their EU funds quota.

https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/overview

You look at the data here.
Figure out which EU countries can't find enough validly looking projects to get the funds.
Go to that country with some initial funding and start legitimate looking business that will be funded by EU (mostly).
Create legitimate expenses, even though the business will never be profitable and leech the EU funds through your personal accounts at some non-suspicious rate.

Involving more players makes everything look more legitimate and when things fail, it's just how capitalism works. You can spend decades leeching on the money.

On several occasions I met some fairly competent looking aliens and eventually realized this was the pattern that they wanted to exploit.

These things are also done on a personal level (for example, a psychologist wants to open a practice that will work with groups of children and the project is well-written, costs are well defined and EU gives most of the money and the person just does what they described at a lower cost - spending the money on services that will indirectly make the individual richer).

Another example is non-profits in EU. Small and large, they just suck out so much money, do the things they say will do, but the costs trickle down to the executives through various channels (for example, you can hire individuals to educate your employees but they charge you for fictional stuff and you collect the spent funds through some other way).
Can you point to an example of "capitalism" that is not also an example of "crony capitalism"?

I feel that we should seek something more like "free markets" and "free enterprise". C[rony, if you insist, c]apitalists hate both of those things, and undermine them at every opportunity.
>How is that a kind of colonialism? In addition, what's your definition of colonialism?

It is a bit of a questionable correlation I would agree.

Global corporations enter countries and begin to hold sway and control over the local governments. Though there is no settlements there is a strong financial force entering the countries. I know this isn't new but technology has compounded the effect.

Think the Arab Spring ( a lot would agree this was a good thing, its just an example ). This effort was mobilized/made possible by technology firms that entered those countries allowing them to place large pressures on the systems and change them. Good or bad is not the argument the question is if the external corporations were able to sway the direction of the countries.

In addition, I once heard a very famous investor from Omaha state they are able to sway the economic futures of countries. ( Hopefully they are benevolent in this )
I know that this is a PR stunt to get people to talk about the show, but I'm feeling that this will turn out to be a nightmare for Fox if they push forward with it.

I'm going to guess that this will be running on the Ethereum blockchain. I wonder who they think will be watching this show? I figure that they are in over their heads and that this series will fail if it's connected to the transactional costs of the Ethereum blockchain (unless they eventually drop it).
You are asking the same question the Bank of Japan has been asking for a long time now. Pretty sure Japan had negative inflation just this last year, and they are right there with us in terms of making the money printer go brrrrr.
I don’t think we actually disagree. I was merely pointing out a couple factors I don’t think are emphasized enough. More often I see people characterize interruptions as show-stoppers. The reality is these things will happen, thus I would just argue that it is worthwhile to learn to deal with interruptions as efficiently as we can.
First, take a deep breath. This knee-jerk reactions do not help the conversation.
I wrote "Extremes and provocative-examples aside". People do not leave abusive situations for a variety of reasons, some of which I cite in my comment.

I did not work for Uber, despite receiving a decent offer (a 4-yr package that given the current Uber valuation would have been worth between 1.5 and 2 million USD) 3 years ago.
They don’t need that, they can just start saving pics in HEIC at 4MB per pic, and backups start exploding.

I use Gimp and generally obtain the same quality with a 450KB JPEG, sometimes 50KB depending on the contents. Images can be remarkably small. They should try increasing the compression ratio until a change is noticeable, but do they care?
> The fact that the particular government didn't foresee this outcome is quite astonishing.

They 100% saw this coming which is why they killed oversight. Best way to get Congress to pass a free giveaway is to get them in on the fun.
I agree that poor-er people have much higher marginal utility for $1, but I think that observation supports this critique!

The 'cost' of spending $1,000,000 on a wealthy person should be measured in terms of how much utility less-wealthy recipients would get out of that money. In the same way, your example with the standard deduction also, I think, supports this critique: either standard deduction is marginal once you reach a high enough level of income, but at lower levels of income it is much, much better (and results in higher tax rebates for poor people). It's an example of a tax policy that does the reverse of the mortgage tax deduction - it becomes less proportionally beneficial at higher levels of income.

P.s. I may have misread your comment, and if we are actually in agreement I apologize!
Booking.com does nothing special, it is the hotels that charge your card, and pay a commission to Booking.com. The only thing is that they enforce some common policies. Hotels give power to the marketplaces and then Stockholm syndrome kicks in.
iMessage is a vestigial product from the days when people had unlimited data but also only 400 text messages a month. It made sense then. It doesn't make much sense now.
The problem, of course, was that the poors were purchasing safety.

How much food and what quality? Do I get to ask for tomahawk steaks every meal and an extra one to bring home to my dog? Is everyone entitled to an avocado or just those that live close to an avocado farm? There is no easy answer to this and you bet a government mandated system would be heavily lobbied to include/exclude certain things. For housing, do you get to decide where you live? Or does the government set up a massive new settlement of block housing in the cheapest part of the country? Do I get to ask for an apartment close to my family or do they just add me to the next unit available?

We can argue about how many funds should be directed to certain programs, but SNAP and no taxes on food essentially is what you are suggesting while allowing for individual choice. Same for housing. The US basically gives your first house away for free which is part of the reason housing is so expensive.
Ah, I moved into one of invitation homes a few years ago. Looked nice when we drove up, didn’t think about why all the windows were open when we signed paperwork.

Their negligence nearly killed my family, and left us with life long injuries.

The gas line was leaking natural gas, improper installation? the furnace and stove were emoting lethal levels of carbon monoxide. Detector was defective.

A portion of the AC fell into the kids room. One wall got so hot it burned my wife.
Only reason we didn’t die is smell was so bad we nearly always had all windows open.

At every stage they lied and did what they could to cover up problems.

I still recall spending an hour each morning trying to wake kids, not realizing we were all being poisoned.

Just last week they tried to settle the matter by paying back my deposit if I agreed to Silence, and gave up all legal claims.

how do you know that the models show accurate results that match and predict real measurements? Where is the code to verify that there's no post-factum editing and fitting the results into the desired interpretations? Who is performing verification? Is it made open-source for independent reviews?

> I am failing to see the additional value of combining them. If Google bought WhatsApp and combined it with the stock SMS app of Android, I don't think I would prefer that.

Well, it's not useful now, but imagine in the 00s when a minority of users had iPhones. Having two clients, one for SMS and one for iMessages, would have gone against the simplicity Apple was aiming for with respect to user experience. Combining it meant that users could get a better experience (than SMS/MMS at least) when communicating with other iMessage peoples, but not have to swap out clients to chat with others.
Sounds like a good gamble to take unless there's some additional fee beyond the fee of if you were paying the actual shipping cost.
No, only the Capitalist Heroes know how to tell people to work. Regular humans are totally insufficient to the task.

It seems like the difference between inflation and short term problems with supply chains could be hard to discern. For example, many commonly used chips are in low supply which has had a broad range of impacts, but the chip shortage is expected to be temporary so none of those cascading impacts should be considered evidence of inflation or contributing to inflationary trends.

Very fun. My suggestion would be add sounds like "triple kill", "killing spree".
Interesting, perhaps I’ll cold email them about the pinned contact feature in iMessage being totally worthless.

If it just pinned the message thread to the top and didn’t change the icon to a giant circle that sometimes doesn’t show notifications, it’d be fine. I pinned my GF’s message thread and I ended up missing lots of messages and notifications from her and ended up unpinning her so the notifications would show up.

Not to mention the comically huge circle icon that is centered when everything else is left aligned.
The OS work is fantastic, and a feat for sure. But his personal story of triumph over vices is more compelling to me. I recall his interview on the C++ podcast, he's got an amazing story.
If you truly want to look at it that way then it has to be a utilitarian net harm calculation.
I don't think the point was what the tangible result would be, or risk of failure. Everyone putting money into an early venture knows that there is a good chance they just kissed it goodbye.

The problem is when said venture later lies about progress, or otherwise obfuscates, especially to get more money. That's certainly what Theranos did, and I think what GP was suggesting happened here.
It still makes sense over SMS/MMS which are terrible protocols in comparison. Even if you get unlimited messaging now, group and media messages are still remarkably unreliable.
That doesn’t explain Apple and the M1 though.
It's so refreshing to see a from-the-ground-up built hobby project like this. We need more operating systems that don't track users, show ads, or have decades of accumulated ~~cruft~~ backwards compatibility. The design goals will appeal to anyone who was into computers back then. Well done. Doing all this in 3 years is impressive and inspiring. I think you won't have to worry about sustaining your family much longer ;)

Running this on real hardware would be great. Future weekend project...
It would be easy to crawl for this stuff imo. The technical language used for this stuff is finite and limited. Just grep the internet for phrases from their training materials, and I bet you can catch all of this.
I think it’s pretty much the same concept. Blast from the past

This is what killed my dad though it was not the sole cause: divorce (his fault, but still) which led to depression which caused him to devote all free time into his work. Being a QA manager all the stress of timelines fell on him and it worked him to death.
Depends what it is done. It could be implemented in a more structured way than escrow of, say, an entire account would be.

For example the ability to open specific mails, specific conversations or with specific other parties under particular conditions, without revealing metadata of the rest. Or conditions like "if the person X communicated several times in a month with person of interest Y during the time crime Z occurred, open it up, but don't reveal the existence of anything outside that".

You can think of that as escrow of each message separately and just enough to match which messages you're looking for, while keeping the as much as possible about the others private. But actually doing it takes sophisticated cryptography still at the leading edge of research.
>Safety is accomplished by effective security, not secrecy.

This seems to depend on your threat model. Two threat models were explicitly mentioned here - terrorists, and contentious public debate.

But it seems a third threat model, and the most important one given that nukes are anti-nation-state weapons, is to prevent nation state adversaries from knowing with certainty the location of those nukes. In which case, secrecy is still a necessary component of nuclear safety, or more specifically, deterrent effectiveness.

> The majority of internet-addressable devices in the world do not have firewalls. Hence, NAT keeps most devices safe from drive-by RCE.

According to System Preferences, my Mac's firewall is currently turned off. Here are the current non-NATed IPv6 addresses on it:

$ ifconfig en1 | grep inet6 | grep -v fe80
inet6 2607:f2c0:93c7:fe00:144f:b9a3:bcd4:ef6 prefixlen 64 autoconf secured
inet6 2607:f2c0:93c7:fe00:e04c:f356:f2:b9e2 prefixlen 64 autoconf temporary

You should be able to ping(6). Can you connect to tcp/22? If not, it shows that my router's stateful packet inspection (SPI) works even when NAT isn't present.

* http://www.ipv6scanner.com/cgi-bin/main.py

The results of an nmap of one of those address from the system itself:

PORT STATE SERVICE REASON
22/tcp open ssh syn-ack
111/tcp open rpcbind syn-ack
1022/tcp open exp2 syn-ack
2049/tcp open nfs syn-ack

If you have a device doing NAT, then that device is already doing SPI, and so the NAT part is redundant. It is the SPI that gives you the security.
The CRA does not tax you like the IRS does, no. Generally there's that "half year" rule of residency and also the "if you are considered a resident for tax purposes on Dec 31st" and things might be different for other country combinations than I have experienced (where a tax treaty existed between Canada and said country).
Instantaneous communication makes the numbers easier because you don't have to account for travel time, but causality can be broken with any superluminal form of communication.

If you have a ship with warp speed, then you have superluminal communication, because you can just carry a message on board. Even if you can't communicate inside the warp bubble, as long as you can exit the bubble at some point, then you can travel via warp, pop out, and transmit your message conventionally.

In my earlier example, if the ship and mission control had messenger drones capable of travelling many times faster than light, then the ship's response drone could arrive on Earth before mission control's messenger drone was launched.
What is shocking to me, is why aggregators got bailouts. This is not sustainable for the market. 16% to 30% commission, taxes, costs, almost hotels are subsidizing tourist stays. There is a path outside the marketplaces, we offer plenty of perks for direct guests and it works.
The role of the judiciary is to clarify the grey areas left open for interpretation by the legislature. While none of these countries have passed "F off young people" laws I don't think it's fair to say the majority of these rulings (except the dutch one - that one is legally interesting) are really a reasonable interpretation of laws on the books.

That all said, times are desperate so if law makers are going to stick-in-the-mud I'm happy to see them overruled by the will of the people. I feel like we've gone past the point where we can reasonably discuss alternative market based solutions to climate change like carbon credits - and most conservative political blocks are still against even such a soft idea.
The irony of talking about substance when offering practically none in one's own comment.

> For example, FB should pay every single user it makes ad money from, some % of the revenue their data brings them.

Why would FB do that when its users happily do that for free? There's no incentive for them to pay users. You could say users would proffer more detailed data, but I doubt it, most people's data is not conscious, it's the unconscious actions that are valuable, such as going to a store and looking at various items.
> There's really no reason why cap gains (all gains, not just realized ones) can't be taxed at a progressive rate, as if it was income.

How would the mechanics of this work? Suppose I had 1 share of publicly traded stock A. Others sell and buy stock A at $x at end of day on Jan 1, 2021, and $x+$10 at end of day on Dec 31, 2021.

Am I now potentially forced to sell some of my stock A to pay taxes on unrealized gains? Is this basically property tax, except applied to all securities?

If you don't care that your broker may be selling you down the river, or whether information is being leaked to an intelligence operative, that's a fair assessment. Unfortunately, much as we might wish otherwise, there can be conflict between privacy solutions and security solutions. The trick is to find a way to service both without compromising either.
