>Inflation screws the rich, not the poor.

This is a pretty bold statement given that it is the opposite of all conventional wisdom, and historically those concerned with the poor have argued that inflation is a way for the rich to rob the poor. For example, the "misery index" in the 70s was the sum of inflation and unemployment, because it tracked how much wages were falling and how much unemployment there was.

So this "new economics" that says inflation is good for the poor is pretty stunning -- is it something you figured out on your own or do you have a reference for statisticians or economists making this case?

> Statistically, the wealthy have way more cash than the poor, while the wage-earning population will get increased income along with inflation.

Let's take a look at what is going on:

Over the past year inflation is up 6.2%, so let's deflate:

- real SP500: +25%
- real bonds: -7.8% (PIMCO total return)[2]
- real wages: -1.2% (using BLS data)[1]

"Real average hourly earnings decreased 1.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, from October 2020 to October
2021."[1]

Now definitions of "rich" are always arbitrary, but if you are rich you have most of your wealth in the form of assets -- stocks, bonds, etc. If you are poor, most of your wealth is your future labor - wages. That's another way of saying that the rich make money from passive income while the poor have to work.

So inflation reduces wages but the effect on passive income is mixed. Stocks go up and bonds go down. A typical wealthy person will own a mix of stocks and bonds and will generally own more stocks than bonds, so on balance their holding of equity protects them and their wealth still increases. But that's not true for the poor, who have only their wages.

This is why conventional wisdom about inflation mostly hurting the poor is correct, and the galaxy-brain takes that inflation helps the poor and hurts the rich is incorrect. Wealthy people can shield themselves from the rising cost of consumption while the poor cannot.

That is not the purpose of a commute, nor is a commute required to accomplish that goal. Think of all the other routines you maintain just fine without having to worry about getting fired from your job if you don't want to one day. If this was really the thing you wanted to do most, you'd find the motivation on your own just as you do with all the other things. If you need to be forced to do something, even if you derive some benefit, it's still not what you want. If I chase you with a machete, you may derive some benefit from being highly motivated to run, but that doesn't mean you should be thanking me.

Life is full of objectively bad things that nevertheless have a silver lining. It's good to look on the bright side when faced with problems you can not change, but it's important not to be fooled into thinking that these things aren't problems, especially when they are within your power to fix. That's how people wind up justifying all sorts of terrible situations like abusive relationships and terrible jobs.
It won't be Germany, because of the labour laws, unfortunately.
There are a lot of tools. Here are some random ideas (not exhaustive)

1. Enforce no-hoarding by businesses to release inventory into markets. Hoarding leads to price increases.

2. Expand infrastructure (in progress) to alleviate bottlenecks in the supply chain

3. Remove some of the not-so-smart tariffs instituted by the previous administration. Import tariffs are paid by, well, importer which leads to price increases.

4. Instead of continuously selling oil from reserves to foreign governments, keep some at home and release continuously to keep energy prices low. Energy cost is the single most important factor in consumer prices (because it takes energy in form of various fuels to: cool, transport, etc)

5. Break down monopolies that stifle innovation and lead to increase in value extracting behaviors by monopolists, instead of real innovation and new business formation.

6. Create new business federal subsidies of some sort?

7. Criminalize scalping (as is done in some countries)

2. allows to focus/arbitrate on your priorities depending on your resources. They very well may have an other higher priority item on their hands at this time.

As an extreme case, Linus Torvalds decided to write a terminal emulator, do it straight on the bare metal for his PC, accidentally deleted his OS in the process, then got carried away a bit trying to survive without real OS. None of these decisions made any business sense, yet we have the entire Linux ecosystem out of it.

Actually most people's time is cheap, so eventually people won't be ok with paying delivery fees, but just walking up to the local super market and buying things from there, so the real fear here the Kiranas will be out of business soon.

>>How is it anti-competitive? A more efficient process might well be the death knell for many companies, but that doesn't mean it's anti-competitive.

Ah, I see your point, but I still don't understand this argument, because in practice not only we want extra brightness in colours around the usual white points, but also we need the extra potential physical brightness to extend the colour space itself in terms of "colours only" (not sure that this even makes sense ?) because of the differing needs of different colours.

(I'd assume that this is especially relevant for backlit displays like the liquid crystal ones, since they have to use the same potential maximum source power for all of the channels.)
Not that much smaller, though. Of course the market for things-that-are-X is larger than the market for things-that-are-both-X-and-Y, since the latter is a subset of the former.

Ask HN: How to improve my typing accuracy?
Hi HN, When I code I'm pretty accurate with my typing with hardly any typos and I can code at quite a speed, however when I type long form (even this post) every second word or so is mistyped. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

People have said I might be dyslexic, even though I can read really well. I can't hand-write though, I have to write in upper case, otherwise it's illegible. I'm also left-handed.

I'm also on the autism spectrum, and thinking about getting properly tested for that to find out how bad.

I can talk for hours though, albeit slightly rambling, so the creativity is definitely there.

What I want to do is write more long form texts both fact and fiction, but I'm being put off knowing my typing accuracy is so bad. I see other people typing at speed with hardly any errors, and I get disheartened.

What have other people done, or suggest, to tackle this issue?
Everything I've ever read has said it's about a wash, leaning slightly toward being more safe for riders. It's not safe (or necessary) to sit in traffic and be rear-ended or run over. It's also not safe to create a large speed differential with traffic.

That said, it sure makes commuting more reasonable. I'm for it.
I think they're saying it's counterintuitive to want someone who isn't driven to try climb some ladder.

I'd say that listening to your own instrument with latency does not work at all. Making good tone/timbre/pitch etc all depend on a very short feedback loop between hands/ears/brain.

By the way: do you have links/references to those studies about the «correlation between spread and vaccination rates»?

> a disgrace to the nation

:) (If we could smile over these phenomena.) Do you have suggestions about good news and commentary sources in your area?

> vaccines lowering symptoms and ‘disguising’ infection, thus potentially promoting spread

I must note: the question about whether the vaccinated could have more asymptomatic cases is a very interesting intellectual proposal. In a way, factored by other effects (such as a reduced infection rate) it could be embedded in a measure of the complexive rates of being infective of the vaccinated. Policy wise though, it could be very relevant if the unvaccinated showed less symptoms.
That's interesting.

To your knowlege does the rooting/installation of this stuff break existing streaming apps, or are they not affected?
I see way too many breaking changes in minor versions; the js ecosystem is rife with this. But it is pretty common and mostly why I try to stick with .NET and Java. It is just incredibly weird installing a minor update with a security fix AND a breaking feature in a minor version. So much needless stress...
"Hey I use an IDE, im special"
The biggest problem with e-bikes by far is theft. We need heavy aggressive policing (including bait bikes) so the thieves stop feeling like it's low risk/high reward target. Sadly it seems that current political climate is to go in the opposite direction of not treating theft as a serious crime.

I it as the government failing at its most basic purpose. At this point it's such a big problem (it's a huge boon to mass adoption and improving city living, health, infrastructure etc) that I am ready to vote for the first politician that says that theft is not acceptable and we will activily catch people willing to commit it and remove them from society.

The author acknowledges exactly these quality issues, and makes this his recommendation if you prioritize the anti-theft features over things like price and reliability.

He does make it sound like they are very willing to replace problematic bikes, which might not be the experience of those in your Facebook groups:

> these have a higher percentage of bikes with an issue than they’d like. In my experience, that meant sending the bike back and getting a replacement. So I wouldn’t want this to be my only bike
I wonder why they wouldn’t let the iOS version downloadable from M1 Macs. Early on I had a better experience with that app .ipa on my MacBook Air and with a couple shortcut tweaks it would be perfect. It’s sad that they deliberately uncheck the box to just let it run as is on M1 in their AppStore release. Especially so for an open source app. It is also not feasible to compile manually as you would miss push notifications.

I get how it may seem that way, I believed that myself for the longest time. The problem is that the CDU abstained from any infrastructure investments in the last 16 years for the sake of preventing national debt. Because of that, e.g. schools and digitization are in a horribly neglected state. Same for future proof industries in tech and renewable energies (where Germany once led the field). Rents are destabilizing the social fabric, pensions are not expected for the younger generations, ... there is soooo much debt everywhere - but the books look good, I guess. The CDU is deeply corrupt and basically didn't care for setting up Germany for its future, when times were fundamentally changing on all fronts.

And now I am not sure a new government can realistically fix any of that, especially since at least the FDP doesn't want new debt either. Debt is not the fucking problem, if it's invested in the future's welfare. God damn libertarians. Total cringe.

> He is not compelled by any force to participate in an inflated housing market.

But he _is_ forced to participate in that market, even if he doesn't know it; whether that's by renting or buying is another question. Renting is less risky but it's still a bet, no?

To all cryptocurrency traders and investors on Hacker News,

SMESHED is a historical cryptocurrency tick data provider for modeling and backtesting.

After spending months downloading tick data from Binance to build my trading bots, a question pops up in my head: "How the hell does a normal trader get this kind of data?"

They don't know how to program, so they only buy it. But many providers I found focus on enterprise customers. As a result, they require expensive upfront payment to access data.

After talking with some traders on Twitter, I decided to build a system to get, normalize, and store data myself. And that is how SMESHED got started.

Currently, we have more than 3,500 currency pairs from six exchanges. We will add more exchanges in the future.

Please comment and dm me with any questions, can't wait to hear what you think!

As a side note, during the pandemic, I drove from NYC to SF by car and when being confronted with the non-coastal real America reality, I don’t think a one off 10% wage raise from $20/hr to $22/hr will make a lot of difference to a lot of people who are in a whole lot of serious economic need. As a simple example, the prices of wheat this year increased by more than 50% which translates directly into cost of food.

Ebikes are very different in different countries.

I've used AN7-Ultra and AN8-Ultra boards. They had a dedicated monitoring chip (uGuru), and special BIOS settings for overclocking. Also they're made with utmost quality.

I overclocked a Thoroughbred Athlon XP 1433MHz to 2200MHz (200 x 11) without any stability problems. Moreover, since AMD didn't have any (200 x 11) processors out of the line, it was faster than the "king of the hill" 3200+ of that time.

Well, for the sake of entertainment let's see: I suppose Samsung still want to be able to manufacture products in its Texan factories for more than 5 years (which according to my small European contry is roughly the time it took to build a nuclear power plant in the 70's) and they have billions (oh and Apple too) and according to Google's first results:

Companies that are planning new nuclear units are currently indicating that the total costs (including escalation and financing costs) will be in the range of $5,500/kW to $8,100/kW or between $6 billion and $9 billion for each 1,100 MW plant.

So why not ? They'd control one more link in the supply chain.

4/20 is also traditionally celebrated as Hitler's birthday by white supremacists, but that doesn't mean all the stoners and hippies who celebrate cannabis on that same day are also celebrating Hitler trying to exterminate the Jews.
