I know that video. This is also different from pure peer review because it involves an editorial decision/recommendation. I am sure >95% of the papers rejected from NeuralIPS will pass peer review elsewhere.

So this isn't about getting published in peer reviewed venues, this is about getting published in a particular, selective, high visibility venue.

So as far as I can see none of this has any bearing on anything you replied to.

If the EU blocks Google today there will be a decent search engine in a few days (I think I used a German one until it shut down a few months ago,) a good one in a few months and a Google level one maybe never.

The real problems are: almost everyone use gmail and most people have an Android phone. There will be a 90s like fragmentation for email, maybe by ISP. Not bad at all IMHO. Bigger problem with Android: maps, driving directions, apps delivery and updates. Somebody will provide a plugin replacement for the Play Store, there are alternative map services but it's going to be an interesting season or two.

This is misleading and not very useful. Property and incomes are very local, so looking at the data at a country level doesn't tell you much. For example, in the US there is a massive variance in the ratio between different cities [1] and between cities and rural areas. Your China example is a great one for where the data especially falls apart - China has a very large rural, poor population while the large cities have grown significantly more affluent with prices and salaries to match.

My house (2500 sq ft) has an insurance cost of $300K to rebuild from scratch. You’re saying they’re spending $8M building houses better in China?

In most of these places with insane house price to income ratio, it’s the land, not building costs that contribute most of the price.
Very interesting.

Ghana prices are completely bonkers. You have to work 100+ years to own property. Despite a expected life span of ~62 years and a population density somewhere in the middle grounds.

With regards to 2008, absolutely not.

Caterpillar, which has nothing to do with the housing market had no market for its commercial paper which financed day to day operations.

I agree 100% that the banks and housing industry should have been allowed to collapse but it had gone so far beyond that there was no choice but to bail out banks or suffer from decade long depression like the 1930’s.

Ethically, that would have been even worse. People rage against the banks, but it's important to remember the actual fraud was happening at the homebuyer level.

Millions of people were buying houses by lying on their mortgage applications about their incomes and assets, getting interest-only mortgages they could barely pay, and hoping to sell the house for a profit before their fraud was discovered.

When the market moved against the fraudsters and they got caught with houses they couldn't pay for that were worth less than they owed, which is why they started defaulting on their payments. The victims weren't the people who quit paying their fraudulent mortgages, the victims were the people who were deceived into loaning them money.
The most important aspect is that there's probably much fewer derivative speculation from the west on chinese dollar denominated bonds (compared to the GFC).

So if those bonds fails, they won't pull down other sectors or cause cross-party defaults - at least not directly. The potential for a recession in china causing recession elsewhere is non-zero though.

I've designed a residential house form the ground up in the US. The current building codes in the US are very strict and high quality. Especially around energy consumption. There are blower door tests to makes sure the house is air-tight. The insulation requirements make it so the furnace rarely comes on even on the coldest days.
I suppose the data was an average. If only considering the big cities the ration would be much higher then (even worse).
Unfortunately you'll run into the rapid fact that in the ML/AI space you get almost zero points for building something.

You get a whole lot of points for discovering something, designing something, or a proof.

But there's a very large amount of people focused entirely on aims that are very, very distant from actually making human lives genuinely better.

Mostly because everyone quietly understands all the extraordinarily complicated mathematics is actually extraordinarily complicated.

Hence the ROI isn't worthwhile.

Krugman is kind of a Democratic party cheerleader. Sometimes that means what he says aligns with what's actually progressive.

Other times quite the opposite. He own comment section once schooled him on the regressive contents of the TPP (when the dems were pushing it), which ought to have been humiliating given his credentials. He is supposed to understand how international trade functions.
That’s actually interesting—I used to really be into multiplayer games when I was a teenager into my early 20s, and have some great memories of virtual hangs with friends both real and offline. My interest in online gaming basically dropped to zero (or even negative) after that, which seems to coincidence with when matchmaking started becoming a thing. I think it was it Halo 2 that was the first big matchmaking game that I played and I just really couldn’t get into it at all, I just more or less assumed I was just getting older and losing interest in childhood hobbies but never connected it to the loss of community in my head. Thinking about all those multiplayer lobbies from yesteryear gives me pangs of nostalgia.
Teams is the absolute worst piece of software I have ever used. Simply logging in only works about 50% of the time.

I like how you say this like it's undoubtedly a good thing.

In Japan, old houses are rightfully considered depreciated as things like "severe regulations" and "low energy consumption" change over time as technology improves. Having a house built in the 1700s sure isn't going to be easy to solarize or insulate. So paying for 300+ years of that upfront seems pretty dumb.

In Austria, are there severe regulations on the safety of building and energy consumption of cars? I take it that it's very common to see 60, 70, 80 year old cars on the road there and they're not just disposable cardboard quality things, right?

I thought we were talking about new drivers being developed in Rust. Your IoT security upgrade probably doesn't include a hardware upgrade, so it will not require these new drivers.

> This seems incredibly short sighted in the sense that people won't magically stop smoking because they can't buy their cigarettes at the convenience store.

Cigarettes are awful, producing a minor buzz at best that you stop feeling after you're fully addicted (which doesn't take long). How many of us started as social smokers only to suddenly find yourself at a pack a day? Additionally, the companies that manufacture and sell cigarettes lied about their harmfulness for decades.

Other measures like education might work, except that the whole world knows smoking is harmful now and people still do it. Most people start young, at a time when it's hard to imagine ever being old and sick. My college friends used to call them "cancer sticks" as in "can I bum a cancer stick".

Taxes don't really work either, and they disproportionately affect poor people. Coincidentally poor people are more likely to smoke cigarettes. I hated paying $10 a pack, but I did it.

In exchange for feeling like a cool guy for three minutes, you get brown teeth, smelly fingers, litter everywhere... And the addiction is real. I haven't been a smoker for 8 years and I still think about them once a day or so. It's deeper than the physical addiction because when you are a smoker, you smoke often.

My current house is about 60 years old. My previous one was 80. America's housing stock is perfectly capable of lasting generations.
Italy is at best stuck in the 70s, and it's becoming more irrelevant each day. It's a place where starting a company takes 3 months and costs 5000 euros just for the paperwork, where only 20% of the population completes tertiary education and that can't attract foreign (or expatriated) workers even if they are offered massive tax discounts (see "rientro dei cervelli"). Salaries are so low that an Italian engineer close to retirement earns less than a German engineer at their first job after graduation (which should say something about value added produced and the tax system).

English has nothing to do with it, and there are enough Italians who can speak English to handle all transactions with foreigners.

And the more people talk about "culture, food, tourism", as if Italy were some third world tropical island, the more you know it's getting bad.

I have the same thought as grandparent commenter, and your last paragraph isn't making my perception any better.

IMO, go to a career coach, or psychiatrist, and get a neutral perspective of whether they see you as having a difficult personality. I've read that most people decide on hiring on the idea of whether they'd want to have a beer with that person. Yeah it's not fair, but well, they're paying for those beers (being metaphoric here), and how badly do you need one?

UiPath is a recent success that comes to mind. Not sure if it's not considered a US business now though.
At a higher level, I believe what we're seeing with these cases, is the nationalization of giant corporations under the umbrella of their "home" governments, and thus, the malignment of these corporations by foreign governments.

It's about power. It's about the inherent misalignment of corporate and government power structures in a world where the US established a "western" free-market system, and now that system is becoming more and more aligned with national governments. Initially through national spy programs, but now more generally in the broader economic landscape.

As such, we see the Chinese forcing companies to headquarter and list their stocks in China (taking HK was a key part in facilitating that). We see Russia force Russians to use Russian social media. We see Europe punishing large US corporations financially to help grow their own competitors.

The longer term result is more segregated power structures. There will also be a pressure to bring smaller nations into these corporate-government power structures, and thus large nations will want to amalgamate neighboring smaller states into their unified system.

This is one big reason why China will likely re-take Taiwan in our lifetime, and Russia will likely (at least try) to fold in Ukraine into its system.
Interesting insights. Particularly on the business aspect.

PayPal fees are zero when money is sent as a “gift” and isn’t coming from a credit card. That seems to be equivalent to this model.

WhatsApp has to play by the same banking rules as PayPal, so they’re not automatically exempted from the same regulations around prohibited transactions. These rules are still enforced at the bank layer.
This is really nice. Great job. It would be interesting to see how something like concurrency could be added.

(not a rhetorical question) Won't stick+drywall houses require more diligent maintenance in order to stand 500 years? E.g., new asphalt roofs, etc. It's not unusual for homes in Europe to last that long with major maintenance needed every hundred+ years rather than every thirty. It also seems like the impact of deferred maintenance is lower on stone+clay homes (e.g., you can realistically restore a stone farmhouse that's gone to ruin more easily than a stick+drywall house that has), no? My sense is that the 500-year TCO is many times higher (maybe as much as an order of magnitude) for US-style homes.
But what if there is a shell company that has issued paper to Tether and Evergrande owes the shell company money?
In the US, you get what you pay for. Housing being as expensive as it is, basically all new builds are being built as cheaply as possible while builders cash in on the market. The fact that all inspections (at least in the areas I know of) are STILL being done virtually, or not at all, only adds to the corners currently being cut.

Older houses tend to be much higher quality. You can obviously find custom homes or more expensive homes built with better materials, but according to my contacts in the home building business, ~90% of homes being built right now are the bare minimum required to get the customer to buy, and most of them wouldn't meet regulatory requirements because the inspections just weren't done.

Development rights are made up by cities and don't have a fixed supply like land, so can't be taxed in the same way. For example, cities often grant development rights over highways, creating them literally out of thin air. This gets even messier in cities like SF or Boston where the zoning rules are basically never followed and instead development rights are granted a on per-project basis, often based on how hard various groups lobby for or against a project.

That makes a land tax not make any sense in large cities.

Pick your middleman. Using a crypto layer internally means you can circumvent traditional payment rails which means if you're in American growth-tech where revenue isn't a thing you can just remove all fee's for a while. Paypal could do the same for sure but chose not to.

Disagree with the notion they won't be shutting people out of the network when needed, that's not grounded in reality.
In Finland the system is similar, but recently changed in a somewhat entertaining way. The tax office used to publish a summary list of highest earning individuals for media's benefit. Then some politicians got involved and demanded that you should be able to deny being on that list. So now they compile a list of people who have denied the tax office from listing them.

Turns out there's no legal grounds for keeping the other list secret, so the media gets a copy of that list through some sort of transparency request. They then ask the tax office for the income information for each of these people. So now the yearly "jealousy lists" are published with all the names just as before, but some names have an asterisk next to them, pinpointing that these people didn't want to be on the list.
Directionally, I agree with this, but it's important to be clear that it varies by jurisdiction. A blower door score of 3.0 ACH50 (air changes per hour at 50 pascals) is code in some states, while a less-performant 5.0 ACH50 is code in others. Neither of these are terribly "air tight" and you can generally get to 1.5 or even 1.0 without too much additional effort.

But my 1920s house – built very sturdily – scored a 19.5 ACH50 when we moved in, and after a not-insignificant amount of weekend work is now at a 10.33, well off from modern code even in lax areas.
