Yes, credit is another mechanism to alter money supply.

But you know the Fed has many levers to control this, such as fed funds rate, bank reserve ratios? It's part of their job to optimize these levers. Yet they choose to create moral hazard and unaffordable housing through excessively easy policy (supply chain disruptions anyone?)

Demand has been artificially distorted far beyond baseline, is the core of the supply chain issues. If you looked at the actual economic data and retail sales, personal income numbers.

Expansion of the money supply is not some magical thing that just happens in a totally free market fashion. If it were free market, the cost to borrow would be much higher, thus lower effective money supply, I assure you.

The distortion of long term treasury rates is much worse than their distortions of short term rates.

That's why they're so afraid to end QE. They know, if subjected to free market forces, long term treasury yields will spike and cause valuations to tank. Personally I think the Fed should stop focusing on the market. That's not their job

I often see urbanists and young people fantasize about life in car free mega cities. Having lived that life for years I can’t imagine why. A lot of cities that are beautiful and attractive also have room for cars. I would even argue it is a big part of what makes those cities attractive. There’s no substitute for the point to point on demand fast transportation that cars offer. In cities that aren’t overbuilt, it makes it so much easier to get things done, see people, and access the outdoors. All that time saved is time to live a richer life.

A good example of a car centric city that is very attractive is Seattle from ten years ago. The city had a strong sense of community because it was composed of intimate neighborhoods mostly with single family zoning rather than mid rise boxy apartment blocks everywhere, ample green space for its population, and roads with little traffic. It is because Seattle was so attractive that people and businesses flocked to it. Now those aspects are going away as density, anti car policies, and other issues are making the overall quality of life worse.
"I would never want to live in a structure that pretends to be a castle. Or, more generously, one that is a vague echo of a style that once served a purpose."

That's a valid aesthetic choice, but I personally enjoy such callbacks to the past. Based on aesthetics alone, I'd love to live in a place like this: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6a/9f/3e/6a9f3e7d4304c5f463ddf8c2b...

> the compensation growth I've seen is in equity.

there's two aspects to equity compensation - grants, and vesting.

It doesn't matter that vesting shares, granted in prior years, grew in value. The employee took risk holding on to it. This should not be counted as increased compensation from their work.

However, if new grants grew, then there is an increase in compensation.
> I mean, I understand the need to have smaller lots. But, if you're going to have a small 3K sq ft lot then you need to limit the width of the house to allow at least 20' on each side

A 3,000 sq ft lot is 54' on a side, if square. Your suggested 20' wide perimeter would leave a 14'×14' postage stamp, or 196 sq ft. That was about the size of my freshman dorm.

The evidence for collapsing agriculture in the Amazon basin a couple of centuries before Columbus hints at disease spreading from contact there, such as from a (historically attested, well equipped) African expedition in 1311 that might not have returned.

The Amazon has proof positive of tree domestication 10000 years ago. The coincidence of collapse right about then seems hard to account for without contact. But we may never know.

That's partly my point though. The big guys all realized which way the wind was blowing about 7 years after it should have been obvious and are still figuring out what to invest in. Tesla could barely get a car off it's assembly line not too long ago and they have most of the market share. They should have caught up a while ago instead of making promises for 2030.
Couple of things. 1. I acknowledged VW as the only group seriously invested in EV 2. The statistics you mention only Europe, but if you look at US market, two thirds of the first half sales this year was Tesla, the next two Chevy (GM) and ford. Total accounting for 80% of the sales. 3. In your statistics, Tesla + VW account for 40% of the market share in EU, but your statistics is based on including PHEVs which lets be honest, isn’t exactly the same product as a BEV. If you remove the PHEVs, then Tesla suddenly starts looking a lot better. 4. And even if PHEVs were part of it, the top selling cars include ford, Kia and Hyundai. Yeah, European car makers are definitely playing catch up (with the exception of VW like I said)

It's been a good while since I read Guns, Germs & Steel (and Diamond's equally excellent Collapse), but my remembrance is that physical obstacles in the north/south-oriented Americas and Africa -- e.g., deserts and extremely dense jungles -- inhibited the relatively "easy" transfer (given time) of technology, culture, etc. that happened in Eurasia. Climate would have affected the exchange of domesticated animals and plants to some extent, but such animals and plants or variants seem to have adapted to different climates in Eurasia. (It's been a while and I haven't read the Wikipedia article, so take what I say with a grain of salt!)

Bit of an aside, but it's only a "1000:1" problem because

- The response can't have a blast radius

- Human software systems can't be formally verified in a tractable amount of time

- etc.

I'd go as far as to wager that if it weren't for MAD, the US might be sending SEAL or Special Forces teams in to deal with hackers.

When we have an AGI, perhaps it will develop systems impervious to intrusion. Or maybe it'll take the simpler approach and eradicate all humans and other capable AI actors.

This is expensive because it's guerrilla warfare.

Apollo isn't what I'd compare this to. There were a lot of near misses and there was of course one really big fail (the aftermath of which strengthened its quality culture a lot)

It's not as if this was some kind of profound rock-solid architectural effort from the start. It was a race and speed was of the essence.

In many ways it has a lot in common with information science today. A high speed of innovation. Go fast and break things. High risk high reward.

I think the parent was advocating doing the opposite. Going for rock-solid and secure. Set security design standards that are mandatory. The same way that we have a building code. Good idea really but development speed and features will suffer. It'll be a big change for an industry that's totally not set up for that. I doubt many consumers will be happy either, no more huge spec improvements every year or fancy new features to show off.

And it's not all tech either. Right now the main technique of ingress is phishing and opsec weaknesses. A mindset change is needed, not just for the tech community but everyone.

It'll happen but it'll take years, maybe decades. And we'll have our own "Apollo 1"s to underline the importance and keep us on track. And we already had. It was WannaCry that started the awareness process.
The important point is that "better" and "luxury" are subjective, distilled down to "value". I can't speak for those buying Teslas (disclosure: Tesla owner), but its clear it meets their requirements; the demand is validated. Everyone has their ideal and what is most suitable for their needs. Leather and fancy interiors for some, plastic spaceship rocket cars for others.
Good riddance. Too many people in the labor movement who are not there for the right reasons.
My assumption is the ugly design of early electric cars was intentional to make sure they didn’t sell too well. Tesla broke that cartel and showed the reason those early cars didn’t have universal appeal is because they were horrible vehicles not because they were electric.

NotJustBikes and StrongTowns have addressed all of this. For just one of zillions of examples: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/6/3/cognitive-comfo...

Neither source just simplistically says "it's the fault of cars", both are deeply thought-out perspectives on what is really going on. It's not just cars, it's certain engineering and bureaucratic decisions that were made around cars. It's also the scale of development, i.e. governments that are set up to work with large-scale developers and are too hard for small-scale developers to deal with, and the general trend toward all-at-once top-down development, and I could go on and on. StrongTowns has successfully diagnosed the entire systemic pattern. It's not just blame-the-cars.

Weekends: How to Debate the Right and Win with Ben Burgis – Listen Notes
Where’s the “lesser evil” part? I just see more liberties being lost, more censorship, more violations of the second amendment, more violations of federalism and states rights and so on.

A fake “whistleblower” who supports the narrative and pushes for more censorship gets the red carpet treatment by media, 60 minutes, gofundme donations and a hearing from congress. While Assange is rotting in prison, this drone whistleblower gets prison, the marine calling out the Afghanistan debacle gets prison and so on.
While access controls is now top of the list this year, a SAML integration to Flourish Studio is only available in the enterprise plan (for pricing contact them).

This is probably why access control is number 1.

Disclaimer: I was involved in the design of the MFA and SAML integration UX for saas pass.

It is one of the greatest feats of European civilizations. Don't take that away! Not everything is implicit bias and Eurocentrism.
As someone who comes from Europe, I find the culture and corruption of American unions to be very puzzling. It seems to be the case from the very beginning of the American labor movement, and in the past the corruption seemed to have been at an even higher level. I'd love to see someone explain this. Why does the task of organizing workers promote corruption in the U.S. more than in Germany? And can anything be done to change this? Shedding this image would certainly help promote unionization.
No. Imagine you have this:

if (x < 7)
doSomething();
else
doSomethingElse();

With -ffast-math, the compiler is allowed to call neither doSomething() nor doSomethingElse() if x is nan. Which IMHO is not great.

My 5950x compiles the Linux kernel 10 seconds faster than a 40 core xeon box, in like 1/10th the power envelope.

The chances of actually getting a only a single core working on something are slim with multitasking, I had to purpose build stuff - hardware and kernel/etc for CPU mining a half decade ago to eliminate thermal and pre-emption on single threaded miners.

Single thread performance has been stagnant forever because with Firefox/chrome and whatever the new "browser app" hotness is this month your going to be using more than 1 core virtually 100% of the time, so why target that. Smaller die features means less tdp which means less throttling which means faster overall user experience.

I'm glad someone is calling out the M1 performance finally.
Here's one attempt to address one aspect of this. The claim is that all the beautiful stuff we like has lots of detail, stuff that isn't so simple and plain and nothing to look at.

There's a difference between "believing" in vaccines and not trusting an individual vaccine. It's not an all or nothing position.
> That statement implies that they haven't been paid market price for their vaccine during the pandemic.

You'll forgive me if I don't see how I implied they were giving away their vaccines. It's certain that the vaccines makers will do everything they can to profit from the mRNA breakthroughs that they could have cashed in on absent a global pandemic. A little goodwill PR now could go a long way towards keeping regulators and politicians off their backs as they use their government-subsidized inventions for private profit.
> This definitely is a factor. Another thing that people frequently overlook is how competitive Zen 2 is with M1: the 4800u stands toe-to-toe with the M1 in a lot of benchmarks, and consistently beats it in multicore performance.

It's a bit unfair to compare multicore performance of a chip with 8 cores firing full blast against another 8 core chip with half of them being efficiency cores.

The M1 Max (with 8 performance cores) multicore performance score posted on Geekbench is nearly double the top posted multicore performance scores of the 5800U and 4800U (let alone single core, which the original M1 already managed to dominate).

It'll be interesting to see how it goes in terms of performance-per-a-watt. Which is what really matters in this product segment. The graphs Apple presented indicated that this new line up will be less efficient than the original M1 at lower power levels, but they'll be able to hit it out of the park at higher power levels. We'll have to wait to see the results from the likes of Anandtech to get the full story though.

Personally, I'd love to see a MacBook 14 SE with an O.G. M1, 32 GB memory, a crappy 720p webcam, and no notch. I'd buy as many of those as they'd sell me.

I'm curious to see how the M1 Pro compares to the M1 Max. They are both very similar processors with the main differences being the size of the integrated GPU and the memory bandwidth available.

I'm referring to people changing jobs, so this is new grants in job offers. Yes, equity packages in job offers are larger now than just a couple years ago.

> It doesn't matter that vesting shares, granted in prior years, grew in value. The employee took risk holding on to it. This should not be counted as increased compensation from their work.

On the contrary, some companies will base their salary increases on share price changes. If the share price remains unchanged over a year, they might bump up your salary 2-10%. If the share price has gone up 20%, they might keep your salary unchanged since you're making "too much" equity now. This is actually not an uncommon practice. With stocks skyrocketing in the past year, I can see many companies being stingy with salary increases.
One of the thing that struck me about British houses and apartments is that they tend to have en-suites "no-matter-what". I don't think I've ever seen a single house or apartment with an en-suite before I moved to England (also: carpets in the bathroom, wtf?! And the weird thing with two taps.)

I find it rather curious waste of space, especially in ~50/60m2 apartments. Why do you need more than toilet and shower? I suppose that parallelized pooping and/or showering can be useful in rare occasions, but usually doing it serially works well enough and overall seems like an exceedingly poor trade-off. But the Brits seem to love 'em shrug.

Crossing borders can also be fun; with some crossings you can see an immediate and marked difference in building style; the Dutch/Belgian border is like that for example.

New Zealand houses are just horrible, full stop. Don't know how they managed to get so far behind on the rest of the Western world with that.

Not sure what I'm trying to say with this comment; don't really have a specific point as such. I just find it interesting that different countries have such different approaches to building and arranging houses, even though they're relatively similar in culture, climate, etc.
