>But how do you fund higher guaranteed social security?

Did we forget we just changed the corporate tax rate from 35% to like 22%?

We stop taxing self employed people social security/medicare after about ~140k.. where many crazy rich people make WAY more than that, so they could continue to contribute a hell of a lot of income.

We have an insanity of tax loopholes.. including long-term capital gains which just incentivize the ponzi scheme further.

>You're saying stocks are a Ponzi scheme, but as a solution you're proposing something that constantly needs more people paying in money or it will collapse... sounds like a Ponzi scheme.

Do you consider current social security a ponzi scheme? All I'm talking is extending it.. tax people more, more money goes in, more money can go out.

I call the markets a ponzi scheme because it's literally fake valuation to a degree. I'm not saying fake as in fraudulent at all- don't get me wrong. But if the entire market valuation is let's say $1 trillion. If the S&P goes up 1% on the day, that entire valuation (and let's say the sum of peoples retirement, even though it's not nearly this simple) goes up $10 billion. Then the market drops 10% and all the sudden people lost $100 billion in retirement.

Money can literally disappear in that kind of system. That's why I call it a ponzi scheme. It only works if people keep making it go up.

Social security doesn't work like that.
My granny was a statistician during Soviet times. She knows a lot about food supply chain on Europe. It didn’t change a lot during last decades. Now every day during our daily call she talks about bread and coming starvation. As article mentions wheat an fertilizers come from this conflict area. If Europe will not stop a war in Ukraine in coming 2-3 weeks… then doubling energy prices will look like a funny joke. There will be no bread and everything related in European supermarkets for a long time. Sounds really apocalyptic and sadly it is.

Buy professional appliances, for restaurants.

For some reason, they are often better along many axes: cheaper, easier to clean, more customizable, more powerful, more flexible, etc.

I really like the professional induction stoves, with actual physical dials, no touch crap.

And the best part, there is a huge used market for professional appliances in really good shape, for even lower price.
> I choose not to participate in "investing" because it's not investing. It's literally gambling. You can't control what a company does. You can't control if a pandemic hits just when you want to retire and your assets as cut in half.

If you have money, you need to allocate it in some way - how are you allocating yours in a way that isn't investing, isn't gambling and gives you control over the performance of your assets?
You might enjoy the fzf (fuzzy finder) tool configured for your shell's history search keybinding (most likely Ctrl+R). I can't elaborate at the moment, but essentially you type Ctrl+R, start typing roughly what you want and fzf searches your shell history based on what you typed. It works extremely well for me. Based on what you described, fzf Ctrl+R should be your workflow on steroids.

There are those who claim that you can accurately predict project timelines from the top down -- high-quality estimates, so to speak.

However, this doesn't work. Talk to anyone in software for any significant duration.

You make accurate high-level estimates, using a multitude of small, low-quality estimates.

I trust many independent peer-reviewed studies (102) plus a large number of other studies (another 49), whose outcomes are consistent with all other studies (efficacy declines linearly from 0-7 days after onset). I do not trust a single, large study focussed after the efficacy window has expired.

The big question is -- why would you trust such a study, if you surveyed and understood the efficacy decline consistent with all other studies?

It doesn't need extra hardware. Most routers have some rudimentary TFTP boot mode that can be accessed by powering it up while holding a certain button. The device already has Wi-Fi, so the same mechanism can be used - if powered up in recovery mode, it'll scan for a specific SSID and then TFTP boot from a specific IP on there.

Thank you for reading the paper.

So, they’re asking if you can use real Hilbert spaces instead of complex. No cheating by using “real algebra”-valued Hilbert spaces. Okay, fine, but that’s assuming a whole lot about your model, so the question is fairly limited in scope, right?

I dunno, to be honest I just don’t see what’s interesting about this pursuit at all, since complex numbers are far from the most exotic construction in theoretical physics.
I think the only defense you could possibly have is to drag popups "outside" the main browser window. I run into this problem dealing with remote desktop windows and WU update dialogs (ok, so which machine is requesting a reboot now?). (I should theme my machines slightly differently to solve this problem).

The sad thing is that even with a real popup the only defense you have is the URI, and most of the time its incomprehensible tech-speak so realistically speaking normal everyday users don't stand a chance.

They already knew, by my reading. Bankers knew there was a bubble which is why it wasn't just Soros. He convinced quite a few banks and investors to help him in this scheme (and make quite a bit of cash as well) in order to pull it off. From the article:

- George Soros and all the funds and banks that participated in this large-scale attack were then able to repay the loans they had taken out in sterling, but with a devalued pound against the US dollar -

He was just the "ring leader", as it were. To date, no one had been able to coalesce all the necessary players into a single room and get them on the same page before in order to pull off such a thing. He was a proverbial shepherd corralling a bag of cats in order to make this scheme work.

Callous and greedy, sure. Intelligent and legal all the same. Blame the law makers for this one if you don't like the outcome. Their shortsightedness and allowances of quick, speculative, money-making bubbles to prop up fraudulent banking systems had a lot to do with this.
"Security UI is hard". Yup.

It combines a lot of different aspects that make UI (which is always hard) more difficult:

* Catastrophic implications, but rare (in the typical user's experience). How often does the average user get phished or have their account taken over, compared to how often do they have to log in to Random App X to do their job?

* Can impede user's job, even when done right.

* Competes with functional features, sometimes directly. Why is there now a full window API? Because it is useful.

* People who work in the space are experts and will notice things that typical users will not (the example the author gives about Vista/XP)
It isn't “equally damaging”. It was a social attempt to embarrass those who were pursing horse medicine for something it was absolutely never evaluated for and marked as credible medicine for covid. It was the right's attempt (at least in the USA) to cross their fingers and hope that the left was wrong. They are essentially antiscience but wanted to use a medicine that only came about because of science. Their mental dissonance must be deafening.

Anandtech has M1 Max at 432 mm2, Wikipedia has 3090 at 628 mm2.

In nearly no internet debate does "logical fallacy" invalidate an argument. After all, none of these arguments are truly logical, instead being deeply embedded in empiricism and intuition. While their criticism may not be useful, to imply that arguments on the internet are wrong (or to be ignored becaues they provide no value) seems like an unrealistic expectation.

I am unaware of any situation outside of pure mathematics where logic is the sole arbiter. I am curious to hear about such situations, though.

there is an opportunity cost but it's hard to precisely measure. if you're a salaried employee making $100k, you can't just work extra and automatically get to $110k. it might improve your chances of a raise/promotion in the next year, but that's uncertain. or you could spend extra time learning new tech or doing interview prep. if you're willing to change jobs, I bet the latter option nets you a lot more than $400/year.
> Yes, I know that plenty of our words today evolved out of mistakes, solecisms, misspellings, etc. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try to be kind-of correct.

Maybe from 10,000 feet. Buffett only invests in certain kinds of companies (those within his "circle of competence"), so you only get so much diversity.

Also, because Berkshire is a conglomerate, businesses which generate large amounts of cash (e.g., insurance float, or businesses that would pay dividends if they were a stand-alone companies) can be used to fund capital-intensive businesses (railroads, energy companies, etc.) without paying taxes to move the money from business A to business B, because they're all owned by the same legal entity. Don't underestimate the power of this effect. It is not possible to achieve with an index fund.
That may be, but the massive corn subsidies in the US maybe can finally ful-fill their original purpose - protect against starvation in case of war.
I've been a fan of mechanical keyboards for 20 years now. I bought a IBM Model M off ebay when I was in my teens. The space itself isn't that fun to participate in, lots of people eagerly waiting to gatekeep their little space. And the really cool stuff is going for $600 before you even add in any switches, boards or keycaps.

All that said, I found Keychron (https://www.keychron.com/) keyboards last year and their quality and price absolutely blew me away. I bought two of the Keychron Q2 QMKs, fully assembled.

Sounds like an ad but I was just so happy to finally find a keyboard of this quality that didn't make me wait 6 months, didn't cost $1200, and wasn't buried in some community exclusive drop that only 18 people would have access to, etc.
disclaimer: I am not a fusion scientist, nor even a physicist. Just a bystander who has been following this closely for years.

But: Yes. Just one of those avenues is what MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center[0] has been talking about publicly since at least 2017 -- here's a fantastic talk[1] by them about how to think about fusion research and engineering, different approaches available, and about what is different in a world of high strength magnetic tapes, which they have subsequently worked to produce at industrial scales in partnership with CFS[2][3], which was founded by people from the PSFC to take advantage of this research. The bottom line is: these new very strong magnets allow way, way smaller tokamaks to hit net positive.

The hard research here is mostly done. The magnets it gave us have cleared a path forward at a far more tractable time and complexity scale than ITER can dream of. The work is now an engineering and industrial process problem, which is well under way: serious scientists and engineers around the world are hard at work at over a dozen different startups, working on reactors that could fire net-positively in well under a decade.

Will those reactors fix our energy problems? Hey, there's still fuel, waste, maintenance (neutrons hit hard!), regulations, etc... -- commercialization and politics are their own whole problems. But I would absolutely take the long bet that we'll have at least one net positive tokamak running before 2030.

How about re-increasing the corporate tax rate?

How about taxing self employed people social security/medicare without a cap instead of stopping at ~140k?

How about massively increasing long-term capital gains, or even just getting rid of it. Income is income- tax it the same.

Even just increase the standard tax on people. If the average person paid 10% instead of 7.5% into SS/medicare but their SS doubled in the long run, are you really saying the average person would be against that?

There are a billion ways to do this. I am not an expert, but I'm not clueless either. Plenty of other countries tax more and provide guarantees to the people. This country wants to make it seem like everything is a "choice" but it's completely to benefit the rich. "Oh I get to choose my healthcare and how much risk I want to take that I have to pay this year, great!" "Oh I get to choose what investments to put my money into even though I have zero control over the actual outcome, great!"

I wouldn't go that far: I've had issues with every major version upgrade so far and I've been using Linux for over 25 years. My experience with Ubuntu has been a bit bumpier with Ubuntu than other distros on desktops in particular.

There's always at least one driver (or default) that has changed just enough to break something requiring research to fix and usually a couple of packages that have been removed from the repos. So I always figure on an afternoon to deal with any immediate (i.e. booting) issues and a bumpy few days as I have to work out any substitutions.
Congratulations on a major milestone! So cool to see the continued evolution of AV1
It should at least be considered a drawback, so that the benefits it offers must outweigh it. For a microwave, the drawbacks is (obviously) greater than whatever benefit it can offer.

For a heat pump or something that can actually make good use of the internet (remote control, looking at electricity prices, planning with weather information) the cost/benefit analysis is different.

I'd hate to have an internet connected microwave but I'd love to have an internet connected heat pump (Or ideally a heat pump with a local REST api so I can just tell it myself)
Youtube videos with yellow comments dont count as great sources for me.

My experience is with making a few consumer electronics products and running through the UL/CE gauntlet. In those cases, the ‘materiel’ required to make sure you don’t shock your users to death is a bigger lift than what happens if one of nine I/O lines are held high or low or fuzzed in interesting ways when there are secondary layers of fusing built in.

From what I recall your background was in industrial machines and I concede the point that if sent an inappropriate signal, disaster would ensue. I don’t connect my CNC machines to my network but I meant to scope this discussion to home goods which are meant to have a lot of protections built in - specifically against the “user” - which compared to “internet” or “electricity” will always trump unpredictableness :-)

A lot of people are saying it’s not about performance and it’s more about feel. I need to jump in that the performance gain is a big deal for me. You can program a lot of these boards so any key does whatever you want. So I’ve customized mine to be very efficient for vim keybindings, for example, and it has improved my coding efficiency significantly. So I definitely get the downsides of spending hundreds on the “next best switch” or whatever, but for me there are concrete improvements to my efficiency.
This bugged me, too.

Just to add my two cents as someone who recently switched to Colemak-DH after getting a moonlander (I used a das ultimate for years though), but I am currently typing this on my laptop using QWERTY.

I feel like switching between the two isn't always 100% painless with a small lag time especially if I've been away from one or the other a few days while using the other one predominantly. But generally it's not too bad. The worst of it being typing on my laptop, messaging friends late at night and having a sudden forgetfulness which is easily overcome by just looking at the keyboard for a moment while typing till my hands remember.

Suggesting alternate investments is a separate issue than a critique of index funds. Of course people will be reluctant to offer financial advice. But the author of the article is advocating for value stocks.
In that case, shouldn't recessions instantly resolve themselves? When the price in stocks goes down significantly there's pretty much a guarantee that it'll come back up eventually, so wouldn't any prudent investor buy the dip?

As the parent comment said, the only explanation that really adds up would be that the amount of "available money" in the economy must be going down as a result of defaults on credit.

I have a similar experience, but not with the split keyboards.

been using a 60% mechanical here at home for work and play for a while now (about a year at this point). best keyboard I have ever used, bar-none. The only problem is that my muscle memory is so damn used to it now that I find it a little difficult to be productive on larger keyboards.

Any time I want to move the cursor with the arrow keys, i find my right hand straying down to where the 'fn' key should be, etc.

not really a huge problem -- I'm working on replacing existing keyboards that I use everywhere with the same 60% model because I love it so much, but just soemthing I've noticed.
How do you calculate or reason about that?
