I would assume the opposite. Why a company which makes money from tracking users for many reasons develops an OS which prevents tracking?

My guess is that it'd be an OS which would perform tasks Google needs to stay as Google better than Android, and Google may sell these capabilities to devs to further enhance their bottom line.

Ironically, it's poor people that hoard cash in a can or a mattress, not rich people. Rich people invest it. Even cash in the bank isn't cash in the bank, the bank promptly loans out a multiple of it.

I did oversimplify sorry. There's a hard core of the right wing that has a class interest in their political beliefs (. There's also a mass base they've assembled out of the working class based on fascist ideas of nationalism, xenophobia, creating hierarchies of races, genders, etc that they believe they're superior to, and some kind of conviction that capitalism is either meritocratic or will give them personally a shot at the top.

The key is for the working class right wing, these ideas are often against their material interest in either the short or long term and so they are a softer core that can be peeled away. Probably not with direct appeals, but by substantive action.

Only about 30-40% of the country are convicted right wingers, somewhere between a minority and a super-minority of the population, and a reasonable fraction (guessing 5-10%) of them would be peeled away by a positive material change in their circumstances by a re-distributive economic policy.
This comment is very caricatural. I got multiple university degrees from my country where it's almost free and I learned a lot during the bachelor ones. Master not so much by that nice to have too.
I think the main category the author misses is providing experiences. He lumps "novelist, screenwriter, composer and choreographer" as creating information that is "useful in and of itself", but I think that's a real stretch.

Experiences can be directly subjectively enriching to the consumer even if they don't provide any "useful information". By "useful" here, I assume the author means something like "able to be used to produce value later".

If I take you on a boat to watch the sunset, I have given you an experience that has value, so I have created some intangible wealth. But I haven't given you anything you could reasonably categorize as "information". It's not like you didn't know sunsets were pretty already.

I think this category is important because in many ways it is both the most fundamental and also the most unlimited. Ultimately most of the other categories of wealth exist to eventually provide experiences. Why do I want things? So that I can experience having or using them. Very few material objects in our life exist for purely utilitarian reasons.

But the real magic of experiences is that they can provide value without using anything up. When I take you to see the sunset, the sunset is still there for others to see too. When I read a book, the book is still able to be read by others.

This is important because as we get closer and closer to using up the resources of the Earth, it's good for us to focus on intangible experiences that don't actually consume anything.
Yep, that's another way to put it.

>It's funny how people deride governments as central planners when companies and their owners are committing that very same central planning at a smaller scale. The only difference is that the government is much bigger and when it isn't then local governments will lick the boots of the CEOs.

It's not the only difference. Another important difference is that the central planners aren't spending their own money. The way they get money is through taxes - they use the threat of violence to get people to pay, because government has the (legal) monopoly on violence. You can't opt out from paying either.

You're not wrong the large companies have the same central planning problem. One upside though is that people aren't forced to do business with a specific company - they can choose a competitor instead. That's part of why monopolies are a problem. They have the central planning problem and no alternative.

The billionaire gets to tell others what to do because he's paying for it. The central planner takes your money and then tells you what to do. If you don't comply you go to prison.

Also, the central planning problem does become less of a problem the smaller the scale.

Casually ignores Robinhood and equity markets, where most of any under 50s should have most of their wealth. Fixed income is a much bigger problem for old people than young people. Real estate, I will agree with you. But none of this justifies crypto.

The rest of your comment is truly bizarre. You’re defending it pretty strongly while also seemingly admitting that there’s little real economic value being created and that will result in a crash with people getting wiped out and starting over.

Why accept this? Why not focus on the real issues, instead of just accepting degen apeing with open arms?
> Initialisms are a subset of acronyms; acronym is accurate here.

I believe you have that inverted.

An abbreviation is a shortened version of a word or phrase, and encompasses both initialisms and acronyms. An initialism is pronounced one letter at a time.

Acronyms are a separate special case - an abbreviation that is pronounceable as a word unto itself.

It's odd because I've never seen an RPi header on anything but an RPi, but Arduino is ubiquitous. I find it hard to believe some scrappy maker enthusiasts in 2005 accidentally changed every vendor's form factor, especially considering they can't even agree on an IDE, and those came first. Seems like there must have been an consortium or a spec or an RFC that was agreed upon? Odd that arduino.cc doesn't mention it.

> The truth is there is no consensus so censoring half (or more) of the discussion is downright absurd.

I agree with your point, though even if there is consensus on a topic, we should still be able to have open discussion without censorship.

If you assume consensus is infallible, you'll be wrong sometimes. If dissenting voices are silenced, it's even worse: you'll be wrong, and not know that you're wrong.

In the cases where consensus is right, you're only adding fuel to the conspiracy theories when you censor opposing views.

In summary: freedom of speech - even wrong and unpopular speech - is essential to our continual pursuit of truth. To pretend that our world is somehow different today (as if misinformation or wrong ideas didn't exist before the internet) is just ignorance. How many times does history have to show us where the road of censorship leads?

If tether crashed I guarantee every MM would pull their bid, nobody wants to be left holding the bag.

Either that, or their bid will be 0, like on 0DTE options that are far out of the money.

When used well, analogies aren't meant to prove a point, they're to illustrate a point. It is actually useful for two people to offer different analogies that they think are appropriate, because it helps to show their point of view.

I own a wok and stir fry is my go to meal- I can’t make meals in 5 minutes. I take the time to cut vegetables/protein, then clean up afterwards. And if you’re going from pre-cut frozen it takes more than 5 minutes to thaw???

I agree that stir fry is a fast easy meal but I really disagree with this exaggeration of its speed. It makes the argument disingenuous.
No one and no institution is an authority. Some people and institutions certainly have more credibility. But ultimately a core tenant of classical liberalism and the enlightenment is there are no authorities. Kings are authorities. Popes are authorities. We moved away from that for a reason.

Saying that, you’re right. If your science sucks then you should be ignored because there is little chance of finding a consensus of truth in it.

I will claim that all races have different sub-cultures and that sub-cultures are more important than race. If you are white and grow up in a poor uneducated sub-culture where education is strongly discouraged, the opportunities you have will be very different from a white person growing up in a sub-culture where going to University is expected and encouraged. The same goes for any other race.

I drank soda throughout my childhood and really ramped up how much I drank when I got into college and finally had a bit of disposable income. At a certain point I was easily drinking a gallon per day. The thing that finally got me to stop was that I started getting throat ulcers every time I drank it. I'd been getting them for years up to that point, but much more sporadically. Once I stopped drinking soda, no more throat ulcers. When I need a carbonation fix I go for seltzer water now.
Yes, I agree. But if all MMs withdrew but you had lots of other stickier liquidity, spreads might widen but it would cause a crash. Of course if Tether implodes, all the long term buyers will evaporate, which is my point: medium/long term price is dictate by swing and positional traders, not market makers.

I hope you realize that your claim is as unsubstantiated as the one in the article.
You're assuming that by working fewer hours you'd magically eliminate only the unproductive hours. That seems extremely unlikely.

I read an article years ago from someone that tried it, expecting exactly what you're expecting, but they found that proportional of their working time that was productive was about the same.
The US government (like all liberal, democratic governments) is a massive, many-headed bureaucracy, with competing and sometimes contradictory objectives. Those objectives are long-term, shaped by committee and subject to organisational inertia, so the departments will function regardless of the political weather. It doesn't matter what public sentiment is, nor how widespread that sentiment may be. Being able to utilise any part of it requires connections and a high level of managerial competence - in George W Bush's case that was through his own personal, familial connections, and through his cabinet, many of whom were career civil servants who'd served in previous administrations going back decades. The feeling of "unity" people may have experienced doesn't come into it.
One dollar of Evergrande's debt -- that is, a promise to pay one dollar -- is not worth anywhere near a dollar. So besides the sketchiness of having lots of Chinese company paper on their "asset" books, there's the whole question of how they are valuing said paper.

In other words, when they say they have $1 dollar of assets for every $1 of issuance, is the asset an Evergrande promise to pay $1? Or is it an amount of stuff they can liquidate easily to obtain $1?

It's the former, of course. And the "auditors" they used checked and said "yep, they have the right amount of promises to pay from distressed Chinese companies that, if those companies actually pay, it will be enough money."

Entertainment and inspiration surely play a large part of MasterClass's success. However, I strongly disagree with the bailey in this article's motte-and-bailey -- that the platform isn't really about education.

At the highest echelon of competitive domains, mentorship by world-class performers is very common. Lin-Manuel Miranda was mentored by Stephen Sondheim. Seth Rogen was mentored by Judd Apatow. Steph Curry was mentored by Dell Curry.

The reason that this sort of mentorship is not standard in education isn't because it isn't effective; it's because these world-class creators outnumber interested students a million to one.

An argument could be made that this sort of online MOOC medium doesn't convey any of the educational benefits of direct mentorship, but that would require more concrete research that this article hasn't done.
