>What exactly is this money, and how is it created?

It's not created. While banks do have the capacity to "create" money by lending they are also are an actual business. i.e. it's not their only source of money

They charge people a transaction fee and use said revenue to pay salaries and buy coffee machines. Just like any other biz.

There are also strict client money rules to keep the business side and the lending side separate.

I think that's exactly what the author meant.
I’m not sure what’s misleading about it. “If this force exists, you’ll find it in this range” seems to be a valuable detail to know when searching for this force.

It feels to me like this is very similar to the trend of only caring about positive experiment results and thinking negative experiment results aren't interesting. But they are! Negative results are useful and give us information! And are often crucial contributions toward positive results from later experiments.
Yeah, we’ll, the credit crunch was an enormous fuck up. I kind of blame the regulators for letting the wolves self-regulate sheep herding, though of course it was ultimately a team effort. But that was all a textbook example of regulating banks the wrong way.

> That's not true in fractional reserve banking, and we're actually well last that, we're into no-reserve banking now.

How so? In Europe at least, banks lend from their own loans (a mix of deposits, bonds and commercial papers), plus need capital at a fraction of assets (ie loans made).
This is a pretty interesting perspective to consider, too.

Playing devil's advocate, I'd argue that it does make development much faster, and portability much easier. This is important.

But otherwise I clearly agree with you. There's no reason why I would make it web-based in the first place.
I really wish this kind of thing was more talked about, and better understood. Most people have no idea how these "bots" or "trolls" actually influence conversation online, and what impact their actions have.

One thing that frustrates me most is that even if people do reach the point of understanding the power these people have, it still won't matter much. We still trust online media such as Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and even this website, as being the fountain of the mythical phenomenon known as "public opinion".

I can see in real life that people are becoming fatigued by the uncertainty of our modern existence, but everyone is unsure of how to pinpoint and react to the source of their tension. My expectation/hope/fear is that the younger generation who grow up in this environment will eventually form a nu-luddite movement.

My bigger expectation/fear is that they won't

I'll add that regulation can be an entrenching mechanism, as the overhead of compliance has less relative cost to large existing businesses than to small, new ones.

For example: if social media companies were required to ID their users in person within 30 days of sign-up ("think of the children" IDK), the infrastructure to comply with that regulation would make it extremely difficult for a new startups to pull off, while big incumbents with compliance departments already staffed up can make it work.

Even worthwhile safety regulations have this effect. You can't just start a hazardous chemical transportation company in a weekend like you can a software company. I'd say that's working as intended, but it does still give larger players a competitive edge just for being larger/older.

For my 2¢, limiting acquisitions and mergers is the way to go here. The laws already exist, they just need to be more strictly enforced. If a company's core business grows, the company can and should grow. But we don't want a ravenous corporate blob that absorbs everything tangential to its business, whether that's for growth or defensive reasons.

Very sad and parallels what seems to be happening in the US and other western democracies as well. There is a trend of certain dominant power in all of these countries that is quashing all opposing voices. I predict that some major global events are going to happen within the next few years.

Matrix proponents like to claim that Matrix is not a product of one company, but a protocol. They say that someday there will be other servers developed by competing commercial companies.

Ok, let's see how it'll resolve a problem of conflicting implementations with other commercial company. Seeing how Arathorn reacts to such questions, I'd say that it is unlikely that such conflict would be resolved successfully. I'd also say that it is unlikely that any other serious company would start building products that are based on the 'protocol' over which they have zero influence and which governance is not mature enough to handle divergence.

Due to this, it would be more appropriate to compare matrix with a product like RocketChat than with true protocols like XMPP or email.

XMPP, on the other hand, is somewhat backwards looking, but it is extremely flexible and extremely durable. Hell, it even survived more than a decade of mismanagement and neglect by FSF! It has a long history and best practices for reconciling conflicting implementations and providing basic compatibility. It is a true widely used protocol, has multiple server implementations, and a few dozen clients.

Disclosure (previously matrix zealots criticized me for not telling it): I am a leader of Xabber project. We are working on making XMPP great for once. (Because it was never great, lol). In the process we broke it to the core and threw away all the inconsistent rubbish that over last 15 years crawled into XSF-approved extensions, and reinvented it the right way so it can work equally well on all platforms.

If Arathorn and co wanted a real distributed protocol, they should have done the same with XMPP when they started, not invent their own protocol. But then, of course, they wouldn't have dictatorial control over it.
U.S. banks usually require foreigners to visit a branch for opening an account. For Salvadorans getting a US tourist visa is a complicated and expensive process.

About half of the applicants get denied. And the application costs about the half of a monthly minimum wage. Salvadorans who depend on income sent by a US relative would have even less chances to get a visa approval.

I thought it was pretty widely known that the many troll farms work just to drive us all apart. They scream loudly with extremist views and convince everyone on either side that their opponents are plain crazy.

I was startled to find recently that the 70% of adults in the US have at least one shot. Any media outlet would have you believe it was 50/50.
Some speculation: They have very little feedback about how interviews went from the rejected candidate's perspective. They withhold feedback about the candidate so even if they did ask for feedback, it would be uninformed. Those that do get hired are the ones that went successfully through the broken interview process so they propagate it to their candidates as if it's the correct thing to do.
I've always wondered why there has to be a discrete number of forces, rather than it being a spectrum describing types of interactions.

I think there is an important discussion to be had about vertical government measures, that is to say measures that are strong, but straight-forward and focused, and horizontal measures that are limited but broad in scope.

I think we've largely tried to deal with covid by using the latter, i.e. using surveillance, passports, ever-changing half-lockdown measures, and so forth and I think it doesn't really work. It's bureaucratic, convoluted, confuses citizens, and so on.

I'm in favor of just mandating the vaccines and be done with it which results in fewer creeping interventions at the end of the day than constant ineffective half-measures.

Why do you think you COULDN'T start a bank?

(And if starting a bank was a magic money-printing machine, no bank could ever need bailing out! They could bail themselves out! By definition!)

And can you go into more of why you don't think that applies to fractional or no-reserve banking? If I'm required to hold all my deposits in cash, I'd have to fund my loans through a different mechanism. Isn't lower reserve requirements precisely the means through which "money someone doesn't need right now" can be "temporarily used, and returned eventually, by someone else"?

I am surprised ford was even in the market. American car amnufacturers have made objectively inferior cars for the last 20 years with none of the status associated with german manufacturers.

It does not.
The situation as I see it is that we’ve essentially created a new, digital place that we spend half our lives living in. And it started with very little infrastructure. Facebook and Google have created a lot of the infrastructure we need “for free” - in exchange for doing surveillance capitalism. It’s like if big megacorps owned the roads outside your house and tracked you and advertised to you as soon as you set foot outdoors. And they will ban you from using the road outside if an AI doesn’t like something you do. Apple made a fiefdom with a harsh 30% tax of any trades inside their walls. - and once you’re inside, it’s very expensive to leave.

The whole situation is crying out for some sort of civic process. If we live part of our lives in cyberspace, we need a voice in how those spaces are governed. Something “By the people, for the people.” We don’t let corporations run towns in the real world and do this sort of thing. It’s entirely consistent to want to bring democratic values online too.
Seconded. I'd really love to finally hear from the person at Google that made this decision. There has to be some reason, of all companies I'd trust Google to be both big enough to have a good overview of what it should be (based on complaints, user research, the impact they know this decision has) and engagement testing (since they do a lot of things based on data).

Not that I'd know where to complain to, but Google employees have friends so it would reach them in some modicum anyhow if others experience this problem as well. And everyone who ever went to a country whose language they're not very comfortable in will be having this problem.
The transaction happens off-chain. If you struggle to understand this you need to look up "fractional reserve banking". As soon as crypto users flock to centralised payment platforms, fractional reserve banking becomes a possibility and the supply of bitcoins is no longer limited to 21 billion. In the real world, central bank money (which in the bitcoin world is the equivalent of on-chain bitcoins) represents only a small fraction of the money supply.

I remember reading about Ed Stafford walking the entire length of the Amazon 10+ years ago. The Amazon is the perfect exotic place to imagine adventuring and exploring- but in his travels, he's running into people all the time. It's exotic to me, but there are people living there who I'm sure find it as normal as I find my local park.

And that's what this reminds me of- I love the idea of exploring where you are.There are many things close to home that can be experienced, not just the foreign destinations I imagine from an adventure novel.

>Banks don’t lend out deposits

Banks do lend out deposits, which is why when they fall below capital reserves as a result, they use the overnight lending facility of the Fed [1] (or similar processes in most countries) to maintain mandatory capital reserves. It leads to data like this [2] which shows the actual amount held by banks versus deposits.

It's a good question. Assuming war is the only option on the table:

1. Would Americans be in favor of (relatively) short term destruction in favor of long term prosperity for their children and future generations?

> The people in government do not understand tech. They don't understand how it works, they don't understand where it is going, and they don't understand its ethos.

That may have been true 20 years ago. The people in government understand current tech and its ethos very well, because it's the same ethos as in every other industry: profit over all.

What surprises me is to see people still thinking our industry has any trace of the original "hacker ethos" left in it. It doesn't. Big Tech companies are just run-of-the-mill megacorporations, with all pathologies that come with megacorps run by suits, differing only by the flavor of the products they sell. Startup world is just another Wall Street, with a sprinkling of tech sugar on top of the dollars being gambled.

Governments understand this well. Whether it's Google or GM or Monsanto that's pulling business shenanigans, it's all the same business shenanigans. Hacker ethos? That ended when programming started to pay well.
