I recently purchased a set of full ear headphones with boom microphone from Amazon. From a 'five star' reviewed product and vendor. It came with a printed piece of paper in the box from the vendor offering a $15 gift card if I left a five star review for the product and then sent a screenshot to the company. Such shady behavior.

The headphones are only average quality.
Remind you of Mr.Robot anyone?
Thank you, this helped.

It seems to me that, currently, entry-level wages are rising faster than inflation. It isn't uncommon to see retail or fast food hiring signs advertising starting wages 2x as much as what I earned in those jobs 20 years ago -- over which time cumulative inflation has been 52.1%.

Do you think the reduced labor participation rate due to COVID-19 has made the entry-level labor market more responsive than the Cantillion Effect presumes?

Interesting... though for what it's worth, the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't confirm that origin for "science". Once you get back to scīre 'to know', it says "of unknown origin":

> Etymology: < Anglo-Norman cience, sience, Anglo-Norman and Middle French science (French science) knowledge, understanding, secular knowledge, knowledge derived from experience, study, or reflection, acquired skill or ability, knowledge as granted by God (12th cent. in Old French), the collective body of knowledge in a particular field or sphere (13th cent.) < classical Latin scientia knowledge, knowledge as opposed to belief, understanding, expert knowledge, particular branch of knowledge, learning, erudition < scient- , sciēns, present participle of scīre to know, of unknown origin + -ia -ia suffix¹.

Not claiming the OED is right and etymonline is wrong, of course (it could equally well be the other way around); just noting that this may not be a universally accepted etymology.

> Cross-language ones are also fun. I like that the German word for poison is "Gift", which etymologically means "something given". Makes for some good puns.

“Gift” means poison in Swedish as well, and adding to that, it also means “married”. When I was a kid (before I really understood that words are shared) I remember feeling worried about some friends of the family that were about to get married. From the sound of it, I thought something bad was about to happen.

I had simply learned, in quite sensible order, the meaning of poison before married.

There is more to inflation than the value of the currency. Price inflation generally comes from monetary inflation - growth in the money supply. Where does that created money go? Who gets that money? What does it fund? These questions are at the root of the issue.

Yes, price inflation reduces the value of debt. However, it also means there is a pretty big disincentive to save money. When you take away an easy avenue for the poor to save money, those people have one less easy way to save for their future.

But to the question of who gets the money, this is the concept of seigniorage. The people closest to the money creation get the most value from that money. That's because when that new money is spent, prices haven't accounted for that monetary inflation yet, so they have higher buying power than they should have. When that money trickles down to the rest of us, that money has already lead to devaluation of the money that results in price inflation. In practice, banks, financial institutions close to those banks, and governments get the most benefit from this created money.

But this is also a zero sum game. Creating more money doesn't create more wealth. The more currency you create, the lower the value of the currency. So where does the value gained in seigniorage come from? Well it comes from the people farthest away from the hose: the poor.

This is why the monetary inflation leads to price inflation means prices go up before wages go up.

There's even more to it than this. Its a complex topic. But I hope you see where the iceberg might be.

Right, but the point of this proposal is to limit that competition so governments can focus on improving lives of lower classes. I can't tell if we're in "violent agreement" or not.

> how do we attract more well-off people - whether it's through low crime rate, good health and education services or nice parks and clean air,

Or tax breaks and the rich build their own enclaves with low crime and amenities. I'm not advocating for this, on the contrary; however, this is an option that governments use to court the rich to the detriment of the rest of their citizens.

> The questions the government should solve are therefore (1) how do we attract more well-off people - whether it's through low crime rate, good health and education services or nice parks and clean air, (2) how do we use the limited resources we have to improve lives of not that-well-off and (3) how do we turn the poor ones into taxpayers.

Isn't there an option in which we tax the super rich by closing loopholes? Or is that part of (2)?

I mean even gold (which is a centuries old asset) is pretty volatile on a yearly basis (high of ~2100$, low of ~1650$ this year).

I think when Bitcoin approaches Gold's price, you can expect similar volatility because by then large institutions/countries would be holding it.

Also on a long term basis, it appreciates an average of ~300% year over year which is much better than the dollar which is depreciating on purpose.

> I think most Linux users would admit Windows is a solid option, if just not for them.

Idk how to hash the meaning of this out, exactly. It seems indisputable that it's a viable option in that you definitely _can_ use it for various things, as evidenced by the fact that millions and millions of people _do_ use it for various things. But that seems like a totally separate question to me from liking it, or whether it's good in this sense or that.

Is it coherent to say that it's a ‘solid option’ and also that it fucking sucks and I don't understand how anybody can put up with it? Maybe somehow that's where I'm at with it

This is a great comment because while it's completely wrong empirically, it also completely misses the point of the good question about free silver.

Like the question of what was the US civil war about (slavery) the question of what silver v gold was about has been completely obscured by interested parties seeking to complicate the issue in such a way that nobody understands it any more.

There are complications, which I don't really understand, but all you need to know is that silver vs gold was about inflation vs deflation. The free silver people were farmers (who are always debtors) and they supported inflation, because inflation is good for debtors. The supporters of gold were creditors, and the supported deflation, because creditors like deflation.

It's that simple. The author of the above comment apparently thinks the populist farmers were completely wrong and they should have been against inflation. This may be true (it's not, but let's stipulate) but the commenter prefers to obfuscate the issue rather than confront the clear fact that free silver populists supported it BECAUSE it was inflationary.
That means that if you store the data for much more than a half of year, Glacier becomes more expensive than storing on tapes.

Of course, tapes require a tape drive and its cost would require a lot of data to compensate the cost, but at a such high cost of retrieval it would not take much data to equal the cost of a tape drive.

Glacier is OK for a couple of TB, but for tens or hundreds it would not be suitable.

> We all would be healthier if we'd just sleep when tired, eat when hungry.

Subjectively, i feel like this is really hard to actually get right in practice.

During the pandemic i had decided to only go to sleep when i actually felt tired. Unfortunately, usually that ended up being at around 2 AM, possibly because using a computer in the evenings/nights was pretty bad for me being able to "listen" to the needs of my body. I noticed that i felt much worse when waking up, than i did when i was following a set schedule. Even with solutions like Redshift/f.lux, people probably still shouldn't use computers and possibly not partake in other activities in the late hours of the night, should they want to better gauge when they are actually tired and when it's time to sleep.

In regards to food and nutrition, it was also a similar situation. For a while, i decided to eat as much as i wanted when i felt hungry. Even though i didn't ever order take out, didn't drink things like Cola/Pepsi, kept myself hydrated to the best of my abilities, i still probably ate too much and that resulted in me gaining about 10-20 kg of weight in total, over a number of months (towards the upper end of a healthy BMI, bordering being overweight). It could have been worse, but if you want to consume food freely, it should probably be mostly veggies or nature products, as opposed to many of the comfort foods.

Now i'm mostly back to a set sleep schedule, limiting what i eat so that i feel a little bit hungry when i go to sleep and also doing cardio exercise every day regardless of how i feel when doing it (which has consistently been pretty horrible so far) and overall my wellbeing has gradually increased.

tl;dr - Understanding the needs of your body can be hard. I certainly cannot trust mine in that regard.

Why Developers Will Win the Creator Economy
The El Salvador government is directing a state run energy company to provide 'cheap' (does that mean free?) energy to those mining bitcoin in El Salvador. Are these miners even locals or are they Americans?
The miners will be getting cheap energy at the expense of the local population/ country.
Maybe the miner's profits will be taxed and go back to the government for a return on investment.
The thermal energy from the volacano is being pursued not because it is more efficient, but because it is more green and more moral.
El Salvador making bitcoin legal tender, and forcing it to be accepted in payments, is the best thing to happen to bitcoin. The only way this can work is if the government buys the bitcoin from merchants and give them dollars, so the government is the buyer of last resort for your bitcoin.
No where in the world can a bitcoiner force anyone to accept bitcoin for goods/services or exchange for dollars but El Salvador.
El Salvador receives millions of dollars in aid from the US. The US tax payer is funding bitcoin mining (through energy subsidy) and funding the El Salvador government trading facility of converting bitcoin to dollars. The government bears the transactions costs/ and the volatility risk.
El Salvador shouldn't receive a cent of US aid to support this, only private contributions. If the El Salvador government has enough money for bitcoin projects, they don't need US aid for humanitarian reasons.
Bitcoiners who support this can no longer claim to be about freedom, as this is coercive, and is only possible through massive government spending to subsidize it that El Salvador is doing.
This is only a victory for the miners being subsidized, and the bitcoiners who have a buyer of last resort.
Is it really a medium of exchange if statistics show that 95% of merchants convert to dollars immediately? Is it really a victory if you have to use government force to get people to accept it?

Also I fail to see how this would impact the usage of French in France if the official language within the EU institution is English? The EU as an institution is comprised of a couple of thousand people from all over the EU, it would have no impact whatsoever on French as a spoken language. French is no longer the lingua franca, English is and therefore it makes more sense to use English as the common language within the EU institutions. Anything else is political currency as you so aptly mentioned.

You're a captive consumer. There are very clearly defined windows for transfers, so it's not like you can switch immediately if a university doesn't meet your expectations, and there are implications for your graduation date too (meaning you're more than likely going to need to take courses again that don't transfer over, costing even more money)
Technically, if you are employed, you have a contract, but the default terms of that contract in an at-will jurisdiction (e.g., every US state and D.C., at least) include the option for either side to terminate at will, hence the name.

Since the contract is terminable at will, reliance on it continuing into the future is generally unreasonable, and costs incurred based on such reliance will not generally be recoverable in the event it is terminated sooner than you expected.
