There are different classes of assets but when I refer to real asset inflation it refers to real assets. I use real assets here since we are talking about houses. So to your question:

> If by "real" you mean "adjusted for inflation" then, again, you are double counting the inflation. If by "real" you mean "an object with a clear category and a clear value" then I'm curious how you would derive the clear category and the clear value?

I don't precisely mean either in regards to "real assets", see below.

>What is a real asset?

"Real assets are physical or tangible assets, such as infrastructure, real estate, natural resources and precious metals, whose value is based on their physical properties or utility." [0][1][2]

If I said "actual" or "countable" assets it would most definitely not have the same meaning. IOUs friend bill or a dollar bill are both actual and countable assets but not real assets.

>I would suggest that you stop using the word "real."

OK but to do so I'm going to need to see lkrubner's personal dictionary, since we are dispensing with the terms used in the financial industry.

>I hate that house, I would only pay $300k for it" and another person says of the same house "I love that house, I would pay $600k for it" then who is correct?

You can argue who is correct but when a house is for sale
the title is generally transferred to the highest bidder, all else equal. It really doesn't mean dick if I walk up to a house for sale and tell the owner I think it's worth $1000 bucks, nor does it mean anything if I think it's worth $1M and never pony up the money. When on a macro level we see the executed transaction for similar houses trend towards a price, it's safe to say the market roughly values houses similar to that house near that price.

>If by "real" you mean "adjusted for inflation" then, again, you are double counting the inflation.

Today I own one drill press as a capital for my manufacturing business. Tomorrow the .gov prints 1 quadrillion dollars. Tomorrow drill presses aren't any harder to come by nor harder to make nor any more or less useful for industry or for me or anyone else. The price inflation still rises. You can single, double, or triple or even fractionally count your idea of inflation in whatever made-up definition soup you want to conjure up, but the price inflation from more magic dollars entering circulation will still be there.

Interesting read. My take based on your writing is we should remove the money supply from the government, and instead decentralize as best we can to minimize the bad acts of a few actors. Widespread adoption of commodity money and privately issued notes (both fiat and asset backed) are a couple ways to reduce the influence of a single powerful government from having full control of the money supply.

> To be readable, usable.

Go doesn't particularly value readability or usability. For example, the short variable name convention makes it harder to read code you're unfamiliar with, and there are a number of noticeable usability shortcomings, some of which are mentioned in the article.

I think Go's design goals were really to (1) reduce compilation time, which explains why Go has human programmers do work that compilers do in other languages, (2) be statically typed and compiled, so you can use it conveniently for microservices, and (3) have syntax somewhat similar to Python.

I think of Go as the successor to Java. Go is to Python as Java was to C++. That, plus the integration with many libraries is why it's taken off in some niches.
But for those who bought into AWS as a way of improving their performance and stability, "a few hours outage occasionally" can be very expensive.

Be happy that's all it is. The idea of "negotiating" a car price has died in this economy. You let the car sales-person decide just how badly you're going to have to bend over for them - or they find someone else. You should see the markups people paid for a RAV4 prime (a kind of nice soccer mom subcompact SUV). I saw 20000$ markups in some places.

Dealerships and car sales people have always been scum - but an economy like this turbocharges their virility.

> a symbol, a public utility status or practically the only choice

The first, I can agree with, but the latter two are definitely not the case. If they were a public utility they would be regulated as one and if they were they only choice there would not be companies online during these outages. The site you are writing this on is an example, an online service with a pretty large (although not massive) following that is online enough to be the place where all the people who work at companies that depend on cloud services come to discuss their outages.
Agreed, but unfortunately so is fashion in this industry.
I'm honestly pretty hopeful about ads in the streaming era. Netlfix has been streaming since 2007, streaming original shows since 2013, and aside from some admittedly obnoxious ad placements in some shows (Coke in Stranger Things S3), they've resisted the urge to ad up. Some services are dabbling with ad-tier subscriptions, which is worrisome.
I'm sorry I've hurt your feelings.
> it should represent a concept that makes sense outside of the context of passing it to one function in particular

Why? What's the utility? Fewer characters?
So I been using the service for a couple months now, and I been accumulating charges on my free account related to "Block Volume - Performance Units", which is small 0.03+ charges added to default "Balanced Setting" free disk volume each month, and 0.03 a day is smallest amount it accumulates, when hosting stuff on there I accumulated 0.55 cents.

So if you want truly free, you need to select "Lower Cost" by placing the slider down to 0 VPU.

Still I feel like it's a matter time with all these hidden not so free nobs until I get slammed with big cloud bills.

Side note, can't delete my Tenancy (get an error) or my Account(waiting for something from support).

Edit* $0.55 for this month, supposedly I owe $10.56 this year for these VPU's, but I am free tier so not sure how this is going work?

Intriguing to imagine the first time the designers heard the sound their creation could make (presumably there was a TTL or bit-slice prototype before the VLSI implementation). They're sitting around the lab, someone plinking away on the keyboard. One of them says "you know, you could use that sound on a pop record and I bet it would be popular for at least a decade".

> I thought the whole objection to data_files was that it allows python package installations to stick files in arbitrary places, i.e. do stuff that should be the sole preserve of the system package manager.

But those "arbitrary places" include things like the standard places where man pages and other documentation go, the standard places where shared data (and things like example programs) go, etc. Without data_files the Python installation tools give you no way to provide any of these things with your Python library.

"How to Avoid a Climate Disaster" by Bill Gates. It's a pragmatic nerd's comprehensive view of ways to tackle climate change, and you know the author is deeply involved in some of the initiatives.

I also found "Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind" by Judson Brewer eye opening (once you see through its self-help tone). The author claims (and backs it up by research he has conducted) that anxiety and worrying are addictive, and similar regimes for smoke cessation, weight loss, and drug rehab can be used to mitigate them.

By that I meant that there is obviously value in abstracting away tasks and details that the programmer would otherwise need to manage. That is why compilers exist. The value-add for abstracting a string is certainly more than the cost of 4 bytes of memory in the typical case.

Put another way: optimizing the management of strings in memory is almost never the best use of time to make progress toward an organization's objectives, and doubly so when that kind of micro-tuning can actually introduce security risks
The important part is the network itself. Bank of America is free to build on top of the network but by doing so it enters into competition with the rest of the network.

You don't need them for a bank account so if you don't like their services then you can take your funds elsewhere. In my opinion this is a critical piece of what is missing in our current society. These corporations and government agencies have become too entrenched and too big to fail. We need to inject competition back into the system.

Hospitals are 40% of the NH spending so I would even not look at doctors that way.

The market structure is such that there are very few doctors, so you need to do your operations in a way that doctors spend as little as possible with patients, and you delegate as much to assistants and administrative chores. With a massive supply shock on doctors you would not only lower wages for doctors, you would also lower admin costs.

One caveat, even though doctors wages are very high, they are also rent-captured by universities that charge mid six-digits for an education and medical insurance, and certifications that are burdensome and expensive. I remember medical malpractice insurance going to several thousand a month for OBGYN.
There is a reason why clinical doctors have an abnormally high suicide rate in the US.

Then hospitals get massive fed spending and money, plus often local protections that mean you cant open competing hospitals. In the book "
The Social Transformation of American Medicine" they talk a lot about how hospitals rent-seeking behavior is to turn themselves as a non-profit, and then ask for federal funding and getting that denied to for-profit hospitals, effectively capping the amount of hospitals you can open.

The WHOLE market structure needs a detonation. And this is my desire/wish/prediction: at some point we will get an Uber for medicine. Americans will do most their telemedicine with doctors outside the united states, where education is free, there are not legal requirements or certifications or licenses, etc.

Keep in mind, the thread you've replied in is related to 3G modems on fire alarm panels. Critical safety infrastructure isn't the same as the latest smart gadget. As we've moved to putting modems on more infrastructure, it's something to keep in mind.

I'm sure we'll see more of this post-5G. There's such a huge push to get 5G-connected IoT devices into every corner of society, we'll have to seriously reconsider how limited the lifespans of these technologies should be.

Supporters and resistors of the utilitarian framing of benefits of (sub)urbanity are both being over-simplistic.

Of course we make decisions on balance of their expected outcomes. The problem is that we can't in general predict outcomes with certainty. So, intelligent decision making is not merely to pick the best expected outcome, but to factor in the range of all possible outcomes on a probabilistic basis.

In this thought experiment, it seems that city-dwelling is highly probable to benefit the disabled kid, but we have less a priori certainty that suburb life is better for the accelerated learner (it may be better for him today, but it's plausible to think that it's long-term good for a smart kid to experience some amount of adversity in a tougher environment compared to a more comfortable sheltered suburban setting, or to learn by example that it's sometimes worth risking personal optimality to serve the needs of others).

So yes, the notion that we should prioritize the needs of the bottom of social hierarchies is worth considering, but it's even more important to factor in uncertainty, to have no pretense of one's ability to predict the future.

I realize this is a huge tangent, but why do you feel this way? Between wealth disparity (admittedly what we're arguing here so obviously it's debatable), global warming, dwindling finite resources, unsustainable debts (I am aware of MMT) - I feel quite the opposite. It feels like we're robbing the future to benefit the now.

I realize we could easily go back and forth with lists of "this is why things are worse" and "this is why things are better" but my question is why do you think, as a whole, things are improving?

> As much as everyone loves to complain about drug companies and insurers as being responsible for high US health care costs, that is not where the money goes. The money goes to doctors and to hospitals. (Specifically: about half of all national health spending to those two groups.)

A big part of the problem is where the money comes from, not just where it goes. People are less averse to doctors being paid well than they are being stuck with absolutely ridiculous bills that they cannot reasonably pay, which should go without saying.

This is why so many people want to rich taxed much more heavily and that money used to subsidize healthcare, instead of the current trend of handwaving the wealthy as "not having liquid assets," something that never seems to matter when a wealthy person wants to pay for something expensive but suddenly matters when the working class wants the IRS to come knocking. If they need to dump stock or some other assets to pay their tax bill, that's their own problem and not anyone else's. It's also something that could be willfully avoided on their own accord.

That $768B "defense" budget is absolutely nauseating in the face of medical debt being one of if not the largest cause of bankruptcy in the US.
