The wage of the average professional worker cannot be made "easily" in the markets by someone with the wealth of the average professional worker.

There are a lot of people trying to spread the idea that making tons of money off of the stock market is "easy." My guess is that this is in part encouraged by the market makers. Lots of dumb people who think they can get rich off of options make for good arbitrage opportunities.
When there was speculation before the consensus seemed to be it was unlikely for technical reasons.

Also, while sure it would be nice if something were a no/low-cost add-on to a regular smartphone, the average consumer probably wouldn't pay much extra, much less an incremental subscription fee. And there's something to be said for a rugged, potentially safety-critical, standalone device that's separate from your phone.

Plenty of cities have greenways that lead into parks considered "part of" the city. Such parkland might not feel like the inner city, indeed ideally it has minimal street intrusion, but still can be part of the fabric of good city living.

To me, crypto is just another miracle diet, except it's not weight loss you're after, but 'fixing the finance industry', or getting rich, or whatever.

It's all the same and it's all rather boring.

I don't know what Stephen's motivation is for harping on this topic for so long. Does he expect people to abandon their love for lottery tickets, or their tendency to want to be part of a cult to give their life meaning?

It's just what humans do, among other stupidities such as open offices and having clueless people managing people who know how to do the work.

It's stupidity all the way down. Maybe it hasn't hit home yet - most things are stupid, including a whole lot of what you do, including spending all this time worrying about crypto-pocalypse :)
Gas comes through pipeline from refineries in Washington, so that should be largely unaffected.

Lots of produce does come from the Fraser Valley which is impacted, but also North/South links to the USA (ie. we get heaps of produce from California).

I assume there's a fair amount of food that is delivered from the port, as a lot of food packaging warehouses are near the port.

Most trade in Canada is North/South aligned. Tbh the east/west orientation of the country doesn't make a lotta sense lol.
I've had Google Maps direct me off a dead-end road into a playground... in the middle of Saskatchewan, so it definitely has some misses.

UBI doesn't work under any circumstances. And you don't need it besides. The better managed welfare states of Europe such as Austria, Germany, Finland or Sweden, have already figured out how to operate relatively good systems. No UBI needed.

The approach that will work in the US is a system of income crediting targeted at lower wage workers. And that will still push up their cost of living, for housing and lower priced used vehicles in particular (which will result in the left attempting aggressive rent controls in cities, which will largely backfire).

It's irrational to give everyone a universal basic income. Scale a wage credit for poorer workers and reduce it as you go up the income brackets. Instead of earning $10/hr, it's $15/hr with the credit; instead of $12/hr, it's $16/hr; instead of $15, it's $18/hr. Make the floor $15; shift the federal minimum wage up to $10. Spend the time and money necessary to research what setup - what bracketing - will work best for the present US economy, and then fix it to be adjusted every few years.

It will also put pressure on wages above those workers. It'll ripple through the pay scales. People just beyond the cutoff will be the most unhappy.

* why not shift the minimum wage up to $15? Because if a worker's labor isn't worth $15/hr, they have no place in the labor force. If you use a credit system, their labor may be worth $7-$10/hr, and they can be subsidized up to eg $15/hr or whatever makes sense. A high minimum wage is regressive by comparison, it chops people off at the knees if their labor value isn't high enough.

That's a really long route and the ferries don't carry that many people compared to a road.

(I once took a ferry from Prince Rupert to Skidegate on the Queen Charlotte islands and back. It was an 800 passenger ferry, temporarily replacing a 300 passenger ferry I think on the same route which was taken out of service for maintenance. The ferry in question was the ill-fated Queen of the North, which ran aground on a different route a few years later and sank.)

Garmin inReach devices are very small. They only support messaging, not voice phone calls, so the antennas are short and battery life is pretty good. It could be completely possible to integrate that functionality into a large smartphone.
For a long time, Babel plugins were entirely smoke-and-mirrors. If you looked under the hood at the source code of a "plugin" package, all it would contain was something like:

require('babel').____secret____.enablePluginFoo = true;

There was no actual plugin API, just selectively-enabled logic hardcoded into the main packages. The whole thing was fake-it-til-you-make-it.

If one wants to be part of a botnet, why choose the low-quality one? One might as well use google chrome.
Dont disagree with what you said, but why does the system work like that? It happened when we went off the gold standard. The banks now operate in imaginary terms. The reality is that since it's now imaginary, taxation doesnt exist. It can't exist, in fact the government must now give you money/services in excess of the taxation.

If you aren't rich, you have a net negative taxation. The only people who pay taxes are the people who dont pay taxes, they can pass on the taxation cost to others. It's also why there will be a constant anti-taxation pressure. Why the rich will always be getting a tax cut. The not-rich already dont pay taxes or at least receive more than they pay. The only people who can receive cuts are the rich.

The problem is that to avoid taxation, you put your investments into inflationary immune things. Real-estate, markets, bitcoin. Inflation is what pays for everything. Nobody is paying or even balancing budgets anymore. The only limit there will be inflation keeping the percentages in check. Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk arent billionaires, they simply have significant debt holding inflationary immune.
An important takeaway from the wealth inequality chart: every time that wealth inequality has substantially decreased in recent history was during a recession.

Staving off recessions at all costs for political reasons is a horrible policy. Market cycles are natural; we don't live in a perfect world. Market forces clearing out the inefficiencies/rebalancing power in the economy is better for long term capital allocation in society than socializing losses or printing money to rescue stock indices.
Interesting, that's different from what Safari supports (see sibling comment).

I wonder what the algorithm is to generate a good password that matches a given regex. Also there's a potential problem with patterns that are wrong or contain errors, that may result in simple and insecure passwords. I don't see how Mozilla's approach is better than Safari's.

> ~50% of married couple divorce

That figure is outdated and I'd challenge what it represents. Here's more up to date info:

>The most recent data we have from the 2019 American Community Survey puts the rate at 14.9 divorces per 1,000 marriages, the lowest number since 1970. [0]

Further, the "50% of marriages end in divorce" is heavily skewed because it includes serial divorces/remarriages. If 5 couples marry for life, and one person goes through 5 spouses, then 50% of marriages end in divorce. But what you're really saying is that 80% of marriages are stable and 20% are unstable, not 50/50. Divorce, and re-marriage, also increase the chance of future divorce according to the Census Bureau[1].

This kind of comment strikes me as nonproductive. HN seems majority anti-crypto and anti-NFT, and that’s fine, but when every crypto adjacent thread winds up littered with these kinds of comments (not addressing the feature specifically, but instead expressing non-pointed distaste for the ecosystem) it seriously degrades the quality of discussion possible.
Call options are a bad move to participate in equity upside, unless you are working on single stocks. There's little upside convexity at the index level. This is doubly true for someone who doesn't know how options work. You can easily end up out of the money with your entire option punt and lose everything even though equities go up (just not enough for your bet). Furthermore, the last couple of years the underlying indices realized better risk adjusted returns than almost any option strategy could hope for. If you want leverage, you can just buy the futures.
I wanted to incorporate this question with an Arduino lesson plan based around key breaking, basically demonstrating that 10,000 combinations might seem like a lot when you're doing it by hand, but a computer can brute force it in no time, so how big does a number have to be before it starts taking serious time for a computer to count to it?

That's when I learned compilers will look at your for loops and just predict the result of incrementing a number a million times and skip to the end condition. Was quite a shock to find out the program I write is not the program that runs. I think I added something simple to the loop, like flipping a bit on a digital output to force the loop to actually run.
>Does that apply to every married man, without fail?

Not sure if you understand what average means.

If average couple has 1.7 children I can assure you you wont be able to find 0.7 of a child enrolled to any preschool.
I 'm thinking about switching to brave because of these built-in crypto (and thus identity) features, but the thing is , i don't want to block ads because i run ads on some of my own websites. To me, the crypto features of brave are more important than their adblocking , they are the future.
You get what you incentivize. We are currently incentivizing debt over savings, so that's what we get.

When I was in college, the bank would give something like 6-7% on savings. If I had a million dollars in the bank I could comfortably live off that interest for life. Now if I put a million dollars in the bank, I lose wealth due to inflation, so I'm incentivized to put it in a fund or something now, which is a lot riskier than bank interest.
Vancouver is one of Canada's major seaports and air transport hubs, so there's that. Still, road, rail, and ferry disruption is extremely troublesome.

SMS is perfectly good as an additional authentication factor. i.e. When you log in on a new device using your user name and password, you also need to type in the text message code you were sent. It is a convenient way to strictly increase the security of an account.

What SMS is terrible for is as a single point of account recovery. This is unfortunately how it is often used. "Multi factor authentication" in practice has become "Use any one of multiple available factors for authentication", which is awful.
> Look at what happened to Bernie and Occupy Wall Street

This is sort of like saying the wealthy have no power because look at John McAfee. Bernie didn’t propose bank interconnects. Occupy didn’t propose anything. (I was there.)

Payment infrastructure modernisation, by statute, simply doesn’t have political support in America. It’s between people who want to abolish banks and capitalism and an uncaring supermajority.

Thanks, I'll have another look!
Call options are a rubbish way to do this, please don't spread this misinformation. If you want leverage, just buy the futures.

If you are thinking about punting your entire income into options on single stocks, and don't know what you are doing, just stop right there. You can easily lose everything even in a bull market.
> revolution

Revolutions almost always result in prolonged mass violence. Most often of the horrific, needless, and soul shattering kind. A sampling of recent revolutions: the Bolshevik Revolution, the French Revolution, Cambodian civil war/Khmer Rouge takeover, Nazi takeover of Germany, Chinese Communist Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, etc etc.

I propose a new heuristic for my fellow HN'ers: if someone pines for revolution, its a very good signal that they are poorly acquainted with history or that they are a sociopath.
I don't thing the metaverse will go anywhere either. But not because it was tried before. Lots of things were tried and failed before they were tried again and succeeded. Timing is key. And technology was not there yet in 1995. We didn't have the processor speed or the bandwidth nor the legions of users savvy enough to pick up on it.

Yeah, per the status page, there's a temporary mitigation rolled out while the team tries to figure out more... so no more 404s but load balancers will be locked down for a while while investigation continues.

> Top income share estimates based only on individual tax returns, such as Piketty and Saez (2003), are biased by tax-base changes, major social changes, and missing income sources. Addressing these issues requires numerous assumptions, especially for broadening income beyond that reported on tax returns. This paper shows the effects of adjusting for technical tax issues and the sensitivity to alternative assumptions for distributing missing income sources. Our results suggest that top income shares are lower than other tax-based estimates, and since the early 1960s, increasing government transfers and tax progressivity resulted in little change in after-tax top income shares.
It also only applies to assets you held before not including appreciation. So if you were bold enough to hold crypto from 2012, got married in 2015, and got divorced this year… bye bye all your money.
Yes, in "normal times" of the past decade, when you invest in call options, you are basically being compensated for discounting the risk of a crash at any particular moment.

But there's no free lunch - the risk you are taking is being priced in, but sometimes the actually risky thing does happen.

This line you keep repeating about "only the lower classes" xyz while the "true rich" have some deep wisdom is belied by the fact that rich people become not-so-rich trading options every day.

It's straight out of the "this one trick they don't want you to know about" advertising playbook.

I wonder how it might get translated into future languages? There's dozens of Bible translations and while they all say the same thing the tone of the text can be quite different between them, the Valley of the Shadow of Death (KJV) conjures a much more vivid picture than the darkest valley (NIV) for example.

The idea of a future historian painstakingly translating and trying to figure out the "deeper significance" of each phrase in Never Gonna Give You Up makes me smile! Maybe we should print out Wikipedia on the kind of paper the ancient Israelites were using to give them a hand.
>What's driving demand is rural to urban migration.

Then why is housing also rapidly increasing in price in rural areas?

(It's a rhetorical question - it's interest rates, speculation, and some city people wanting 2nd homes... the point is that urban migration is not the biggest issue regarding this current increase)
I agree, although I think that having a decentralized and modern payment layer is also a part of Web3.

People owning their own data, instead of companies like Facebook and Google, also seems promising, so I haven't written off the ownership layer yet.

NFTs I don't really care about and don't understand the hype.

Metaverse can also be a part of Web3 (Decentraland, The Sandbox, etc), but we'll see where all that goes along with Meta, Microsoft, and all the other companies talking about the metaverse.
> it's not too bizarre when you consider no version of IE supports Number.isFinite or Number.isInteger.

If you are extensively using nodejs libraries to target IE, then you have other problems than supporting Number.isFinite or Number.isInteger to deal with first, considering that IE doesn't support modern ES versions in anyway. You'd have to use shims,polyfills and whatnot at first place and transpile all that npm code into something IE can run.

This isn't a very good argument to add an "is-even" package.

It looks like rail lines are also cut off.

This is kind of a big deal for shipping. Approximately $200 billion goods/year travel through Vancouver, including millions of (metric) tonnes of grain bound for Asia, and imports of Chinese goods bound for the rest of Canada. Most of that traffic now needs to find another route until repairs are made.
The problem being, of course, that those risky investments were considered "risky" for a reason. A fair assessment, in the absence of forced incentives, would say they're more of a net liability than a net asset. Better than having your funds confiscated, perhaps, but otherwise not worth considering. When they fail (as many of them inevitably will) those failed investments result in waste and economic decline, not growth. And as usual the less-sophisticated investors will bear the lion's share of the losses.
A lot of employment history is sold by the employer to "identity" services like Equifax, which runs a product they call 'The Work Number'[0] to allow other corporations to run background checks on you and see exactly where you worked and how much you were paid every month. While not all employers currently sell employee data to Equifax et. al, more and more will in the future and there's no guarantee they won't sell past data.

So I think it's going to get increasingly difficult to secretly work two jobs.

OTOH, I've negotiated to have two jobs at the same time, bringing one from full-time to part-time and joining the other part-time. Then I was able to work both jobs for 35 hours/week and make nearly double money. Both companies were okay with this arrangement, although neither knew that I was working both jobs nearly full-time. An open-source tool to sync just free/busy status between the two outlook calendars allowed people to schedule meetings with me as-usual, as events from the either company would be automatically copied to the other -- but only as "busy", nothing potentially confidential. [1][2]

It's interesting, because I would have been happy to be paid hourly to work 60 hours/week at either one of the jobs but neither would let me do that.

For the cycle you propose the increase in inflation would have to be equal or greater than the increase in pay.

If there's an increase in wages and the increase in inflation in response is lower then there's and effective wage increase despite the inflation. Which is simply the desired outcome.

An increase in inflation that matches or outpaces an increase in wages should only happen if wages are 100% of the cost of goods/services. So the cycle you propose should be a non-issue.

Right now i feel that we've been so scared to increase wages that we've simply made wages pointless altogether. Assets from second hand cars, to houses, to shares are all skyrocketing in value. I can't imagine people working for minimum wage and looking at the value of the house they rent go up by 10x more than their salary each month and thinking this is ok. We've been so scared of increasing wages because of inflation fears yet we've allowed all the QE to go into assets. It's led to an imbalance of wages compared to the cost of assets. There's a need for market correction from the government to get wages back in line with the value of assets and as long as any forced increase in wages isn't leading to inflation that outpaces the increase it's a perfectly reasonable solution to pursue.
