> The amount of money being circulated absolutely does affect inflation (almost by definition).

No, money supply ≠ inflation. E.g., Japan M2:

Japan inflation:

Why do Friedman-esqe Monetarists continue to ignore velocity?

I personally like Cullen Roche's analogy:

> But this is what so much of the money supply represents – money that has been issued and is just sitting around unused. Why is this useful? It’s like calculating your weight changes by counting how much food you have in your refrigerator. No. That’s potential calories consumed and potential weight gain. The amount of food in your fridge tells you little about your future weight changes just like the amount of money in the economy tells us little about the actual price changes in the economy.

> The Fed interest rate affects the amount of money in circulation because the Fed credit money is simply printed. This printed credit money gets spent and ends up circulating. The lower the interest rate, the easier it is to borrow, the more borrowing gets done, the more money is printed and enters circulation, which leads to inflation.

Things do not work like this. Money gets created through private banks by credit creation, and the only limit on that is the the risk they see in their loans being defaulted on. The Bank of England put out a primer a few years ago:

> The reality of how money is created today differs from the description found in some economics textbooks:  Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates deposits. In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank money ‘multiplied up’ into more loans and deposits.

Banks create (hopefully) viable loans first, and then look for reserves after—assuming reserve requirements even exist, as many countries removed them decades ago.
If your retirement portfolio crumbles with a stock market correction when you’re actively retired, you have made terrible investment choices.
My (very amateur) understanding of the housing issue is that its primarily a problem of supply. Since houses have been redefined from a dwelling to a financial investment, there is strong pressure on political policy to encourage asset appreciation. That means NIMBYism and corporate REITs are acting as two wealthy and highly-motivated special interest groups in favor of making new development nigh-impossible.

Or at least, so I've been lead to believe. All I know for sure is I can't by a third of the sq. ft my older sibling could 8 years ago.
people say this every time rates go up. The fed is not trapped. Rates went up from 0% in 2015 to 2.25% by 2018 and nothing bad happened. Inflation remained low, bonds did well.
To the people who are worried about woke-ism going too far: what's your best specific example?

What opinion was uttered and what consequence followed?
Although the war was supposed to go quicker and better for Russia then Putin probably isn't as irrational as he's made out to be recently. The West not interfering has been one of his big bets and he has been right (thus far).
I would say it's still a substantive issue. I live in SF and I came from a very conservative state; moral community wise I fit into neither and it does make the areas I mentioned a tad uncomfortable to be in. That said, I'm only forced to work in one.
Hot anger is pointless, except as a social signal, cool anger drives action and is very powerful.
You can try increasing the debounce time to paper over this issue. Requires using a replacement controller like https://github.com/kinx-project/kint/ of course :)
It's a question of whether Putin will decide whether it merits him escalating the war beyond Ukraine's borders, justified by the notion that the US has become a combatant.

Especially since there's a decent chance that it would require US personnel. These drones require significant training.

The decision weighs on a lot more than just whether it's cheap and effective. It's based on what the whole war is really about.
> the idea is not fullfilled or not useful for humanity, community, at least for me

Facebook, for all its faults, didn't start out as a social network to connect people and collaborate; it started out as some sexist objectifying bullshit to rank women based on their appearances.

If you ranked every project from most beneficial to humanity to least, Zuckerberg's original project was near the bottom, but the potential that Facebook had before it started destroying democracy for engagement metrics was near the top.

If a site that started out as just sexist trash could somehow morph into a giant, world-spanning social network connecting people with each other across the globe, then please don't think that your projects need to be fantastic right out of the gate.
Credit spends too.

US Household debt to GDP steadily went down over that period.
We also need to be really honest about what we want this to be, and how that desire influences what we believe about it. I personally want this to be an alien spacecraft, because that's super interesting and exciting. I think the same is true of lots of other people. Unfortunately, there are much more mundane explanations which fit the evidence much better.

As a former member of USMC Aviation, it's valid to point out that skilled navy pilots can have some of the same range of differences in belief, action and motivation that the general populace does. I flew with a pilot on a transport helicopter that was blasting Eye of the Tiger and taking every turn at maximum bank, constantly looking for AA to get to fire at us so he could call in F-18s and watch the fireworks. Some of them are cranks.

BUT... I don't think any US military pilot expects their cockpit recordings or FLIR video to be public at some later time, I'm not sure what the motivation would be to lie about this stuff. The harm to you as a respected pilot would be fairly severe, and you'd have to get your co-pilot to go along with it.

Agreed, one way to help mitigate this is to establish Layer 7 security controls, rather than implicitly trust the network. Tailscale shouldn't be the sole security control in any environment.
I think all recognize the necessity for general sanctions due to the heinous, illegal and genocidal invasion of Ukraine. This however, is a slightly tangent topic to that.

Some software companies with operations in Russia are Russian, other have their IP licensed by a legal entity outside of Russia. Not sure into which category c3d falls into. Which partially motivated my question.

One really can't stop using code a native Russian has ever touched - it's like deciding never to read Tolstoy again, only much harder since Russians are very prolific in software technology. Also, for code for whose IP has been already purchased, it would not be very effective as a sanctioning tool. The point is not to "cancel" Russian culture or technological output as such - only to stop trade to put economic pressure on the population and hence their government. The domain of the licensing entity in that sense is relevant here, but not to simply "stop using anything from Russia".
It's useful to be skeptical of Great Men
Theory narratives but I think that you are
taking it too far. Yes, we absolutely should
avoid overstating the impact of "great
men". It usually leads to wrong conclusions
& a hyperfocus on the role of individuals as
of they were independent of the society
around them.

Yet, completely dismissing the possibility
of remarkable individuals having very
oversized impacts on humanity and history
is also extremely diminutive. Yes, they were
usually also lucky to be at the right place,
at the right time and being surrounded by the right people. But their individual actions/efforts were still crucial catalysts to actually put all of those things together. It would be just as weird to dismiss the impact of individuals in history or science as it is to focus too much on them

These 3 questions aren't the only questions folks have, but they are ones that vary greatly depending on the solution you choose. I recommend asking the folks that work on these solutions questions like this, but because I work on SpiceDB[0], I can answer them for that.

> "How will additional microservices check permissions?"

SpiceDB is a database optimized for resolving subjects' access to resources. Being a database, it suggests storing the canonical authorization data within it and performing queries to it from various microservices. This is the strategy employed by most hyper-scalers and but also companies that have heavily invested in in-house authorization like like Airbnb and Carta.

> "How can we test and enforce that our authorization system is correct?"

SpiceDB has developers write schemas, but unlike other databases, it has tooling that can check assertions and audit all possible access. This tooling can be shared/explored via the Authzed Playground[1] or added to your CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions[2]

> "Can I support user-defined permissions?"

There are various ways to accomplish this with SpiceDB. User behavior can be used to pragmatically generate schemas or you can write very abstract schemas that push designs that are typically enforced at schema-validation/compile-time (think DDL) to runtime (think DML).

Not once in my lifetime have I seen the fed tank the markets. It's more like the fed being tailwind. Since 2008 the pattern has been for the fed to be way behind the curve by keeping real interest rates negative and raising rates very slowly and with tons of advance warning even as the stock market and economy rips higher.
Unless I know I'm talking to an economist I use inflation to mean price inflation, because that's what every non economist thinks it means. You are certainly right that it's ambiguous in a technical sense though.

At least Dictionary.com validates the concept that "gyp" is from "Gypsy" [1]:

> Origin of gyp
> An Americanism dating back to 1885–90; back formation from Gypsy.

Same with Miriram-Webster: [2]

> History and Etymology for gyp

> Noun

> probably short for gypsy

In either case, it is rude for the word to be used, contrary to what PG implies.

I don't think "wokeism" has gone too far, I think accusations of it have. There are plenty of high profile sex offenders and homophobic/transphobic celebrities who continue to get work.

Instead what I see is misrepresentation of what "wokeness" is; I often hear conservatives say they're "not allowed" to discuss race/sexuality/etc., when in actuality what has happened is most of American has just moved on from finding homophobia and racism entertaining.

I ordered some items from them I couldn't find in my local stores. One of them was sent from a store but it was an older model different from the one I had ordered from the site. It turns out they reuse the same SKU when products are updated. Phone support refuses to provide customer service for anything delivered from a store so I had to go back and exchange it for the proper model. Except that the price had risen since I placed my order and the drone at the customer disservice desk insisted that I had to pay the difference. I had to argue with them to do what they were supposed to do with printouts from the web site showing their foolishness.

"For a lot of people, what is even the point of living if there's no retirement to enjoy?"

The point is you are supposed to be helping other people in some way. Not just being a useless turd and forcing young functional people pay rent to you so that you can do nothing but sit on your fat ass and shit in your diaper. They also lived in a society that was much more prosperous than any young person ever will. Considering that now everything is ruined, it's hard not to look at them and imagine they share some small part of the blame.

Maybe if people cared less about saving up a big sum for themselves to "enjoy their retirement", aka being a self-centered moron, then the world wouldn't be such a shithole today.
>>Conceptually the answer in the theory is to suck up the excess money with taxes

Govt spending is already 45% of GDP, so there's not much room to increase it more.

As for MMT, I think what the MMT crowd doesn't realize is that there's a lot of latent inflation coming. Asset prices and CPI do not go up in tandem. First Asset prices are inflated, then later for the next decade or so, as people slowly make withdrawals from those inflated asset prices, it begins to affect the CPI. And that's where we are right now, at the beginning of the CPI impact.

A few random ideas:

The world could use an open-source project to manage restaurants; content management backend, let people add in all of their menu items with photos, descriptions, etc. and then surface that to the website (or not). Mobile app support, iPad- or web-based ordering (for servers or customers), Skip/DoorDash/UberEats integration, or self-managed delivery could all be potential for-profit addons, as well as hosting and consulting. This is something that I could potentially see people liking and using, and could also turn into a potentially profitable business.

I play D&D a lot; it would be nice if there were an e.g. AndroidTV or AppleTV app that could display maps, including with fog-of-war, etc. I tried to do stuff like this with existing tools and had a really hard time lining up the existing grids on battlemaps with what the software understood to be the grids in the software (used for calculations). This one would require a GM interface to show/hide areas, active stuff, whatever. No idea if it would be fun to build (maybe use computer vision to detect battlemap grids?) but it's a thought.
Those are called "diffraction spikes" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spikes

They represent light that was diffracted by the edges of the hexagonal primary mirror segments and secondary mirror support struts.

The reason they are so prominent is because of how extremely overexposed the star is. Every star will have them but in a normally exposed star they are too faint to see.

In the Hubble Space Telescope you have four spikes that are just from the support struts of the secondary mirror. The circular mirror generates something called an Airy Disk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_disk.

Diffraction effects are unavoidable in any telescope and can tell you a lot about how well the telescope is working. In this case they indicate that Webb is aligned extremely well.
In the context of this discussion I was stating I perform the same behaviour in the current environment as the GP who stated they do not change their clocks.
> So in theory once you hit a certain number of interactions, the people prone to snapping would have snapped.

That statement is presuming there's some fixed threshold of interactions or fixed set of people to interact with that most people achieve, before someone "snaps", at which point they are immediately incarcerated. I don't think there's anything resembling evidence, or even a theoretical model for criminal behaviour, suggesting that is the case --certainly not for crimes of passion, which are often not committed by people of all ages who hadn't previously murdered at any point in their lifetime.

> In theory, if murder is something that generally involves strong passions, wouldn't the closer relationships result in the violence when someone snaps from a betrayal or habitual disrespect?

Strong passions might erupt from interactions between a third person that one might have a mere acquaintance with, having an interaction with someone one had a closer relationship, no?

Let's assume that's true though. Let's say 80% of murders are crimes of passion, and 90% of crimes of passion are entirely derived from interactions within people one is so close to that regardless of population density you'd have more than enough interactions to hit some threshold. That still leaves 28% of murders that are far more likely to occur in more a densely populated environment... and if the rest of the murders are uniformly distributed, that would mean the divergences due to population density for those remaining murders would be far more significantly concentrated in denser populations.

Now, what the data actually shows is that there is one specific murder victim that is disproportionately likely to be murdered by someone they have a close relationship with: wives (sons are also disproportionately likely, but to a significantly lesser degree). In most cases the relationship between victim and offender is either unknown or a more casual "acquaintance": https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

> I think that's only true if we are weighting those interactions linearly and not including mitigating factors that could be more prevalent in one population or the other.

No. Over a decade long period, in a densely populated urban environment, if you look at the acquaintance-of-acquaintance or even acquaintance-of-friend populations, you could easily have a larger population than a small town or even a state. Even if you limit it to just "passionate", romantic relationships, the adage of, "I've dated eligible person in this town" is just something that is far more likely to occur in less densely populated areas.
I legitimately want my home value to tank. I'm sick of paying taxes on a 275k home value that will never, ever, ever sell for that much. I wish it could go back to 80-100k, regardless of whatever "equity" that costs me. I'm in my permanent home, not an investment property.

In my opinion, yeah. In its minimalism (I've turned off the toolbar and other stuff), it has fewer GUI elements to get "wrong". VSCode has a gazillion widgets, and none of them look like other Mac apps, and is in an uncanny valley of looking like it might be a native app on some system I don't use. Emacs is definitely off on its own direction, but at first glance looks a lot like TextEdit, minus the toolbars. It's just a large text input waiting for me to start typing.
With the size of Russia's SLBM stockpile, this doesn't seem to change the deterrence equation, according to the Wikipedia article.
