Is inflation really 8 % though? Real number is probably closer to 20 %.
Is it feasible to travel the country in an EV? The western states are a lot more desolate than the midwest and east. Being stranded somewhere would be very stressful.

Why base36 in particular? That implies that you're worried you might lose case information but you're not worried about characters that look the same?
I don't the this cause of inflation is settled. Right now it's higher energy prices, in large part caused by the Ukraine war. Then covid recovery caused a big demand increase, and the shipping industry building ever larger ships that can only go to the LA ports on the west coast led to a delivery shortage, which led to a squeeze, then a worldwide shortage of ICs caused auto manufacturers to have a shortage, the Ukraine war even caused wiring harness shortages. It's one thing after another, those were not caused by the Fed or stimulating spending from the government. I'm sure the government giving people money so they wouldn't lose their lives during covid unemployment was a stimulus. But there were all these other things going too.
It doesn't particularly hurt either. The Fed is supposed to act independently and is solely responsible for its actions. Trying to stir up political controversy is pure FUD.

"security enhancement" - more like arbitrarily preventing people from taking out the contents of their account to prevent the crypto version of a bank run, because crypto in general is having a meltdown/catastrophe.

same idea as locking the bank doors and turning off the ATMs when some nation state has a catastrophic bank run.
What a bunch of scammers.
The Fed doesn't have the tools to deal with this problem, so there is no point in blaming them. The Fed can add to the money supply and they can regulate the velocity of money, but they can't destroy it. Congress, and only Congress, can reduce the money supply by taxing and using the taxes to pay back the original issuance to balance the books.

As we know, conservatives in Congress (which includes a bunch of Democratic members) refuse to pass taxes unless they fall disproportionately on the poor. Thus, we are unlikely to see a real resolution to this problem, just more can kicking.

There aren't any EVs to purchase. Our '11 Leaf is getting way long in the tooth, but VW said they've sold out for the year (didn't like the plasticy ID.4 interior anyway), as well as Hyundai. And if there's a Kia EV6 to be found in the Seattle area, I can't find one. I'm not going anywhere near a Tesla, so AFAICT we're left with high-end luxury cars, and without looking I'm not sure there are any of those, either.

Granted, we're looking to buy because old EV, not gas prices. But whatever your reason for wanting one, good luck.

It's hard to fault the cops on this one. The 2012 Florida nightclub shooting was a roughly comparable situation - barricaded shooter, substantial firepower, hostage situation.[1] It took three hours to stop that guy, and the cops had to punch a hole in a wall with explosives and an armored vehicle.

Something is wrong with the equation. The right hand side of the equation is:

$23,304 / 19,066,500 BTC = $0.001 /BTC

If there is one human into bitcoin, then they invested $0.001 ? If there are more people into bitcoin then they invested even less on average?

This is a problem SaaS can solve, scapegoat as a service.

When needed, get a professional scapegoat to fire, less chance to see him again. And you can get the performance you want. Do you want an asshole who deserves it, or maybe you prefer a clueless bootlicker.

Of course, bosses will also be available to do the firing if you can't supply your own.

What you need.

That's the biggest lie.

Society radically changed after the mid 20th century, with TV and
radio. It turned from demand-supply economics to a psychological push
culture following the work of Edward Bernays and others, analaysed and
to some extent amplified by Walter Lippmann.

Of course we call it advertising. It was never really "honest", of
course. But once upon a time advertising was predominantly
informational, and also more strongly regulated regarding its
accuracy.

It's the "Biggest lie", not because there is one extraordinary
untruth, but because advertising is a multi-trillion dollar,
international, highly specialised, scientific, well researched,
systematic framework of lies.

The prototypical lie, the class from which all lies are derived, is
that you "need" something you don't. Humans are in fact
extraordinarily resilient, self-sufficient, adaptable creatures. We
need little more than basic food, shelter and exercise, a list laid
out by Maslow that includes social and spiritual needs. We don't need
much. Some have even said. "All you need is love" - and that's not too
far from the truth.

Yet, through this lie of "necessity" that leverages our emptiness, we
have been made to "consume" billions of automobiles, smartphones,
dishwashers, TVs, ridiculous excesses of food, clothing,
entertainment. And we still feel inadequate and unhappy.

There is no greater lie than "What you need".

> It's all fun and games until you find out that you can't have as many customers as you thought to because people can't find a parking spot near your shop, also because your delivery area shrinks because your deliverymen use bicycles and won't drive uphill or more than 5 km from your place.

Existing dense and ultra-dense cities do not face these problems or have adequately addressed them. Or these aren’t actually problems.

Increased density in a neighborhood means increased foot traffic which means increased business.

Delivery of large items become an essential business activity. The Japanese versions of many multinationals offer free, same-day delivery of any items bought in-store if you live within a 30 miles of the store. You actually can have it scheduled to have the delivery truck coincide with when you come home.

Why do you assume the delivery service will use bikes and not mopeds, small cars, or other powered mobility systems?

Businesses respond to the limited range of their customers by increasing their presence. Look at New York — a bodega at every corner. Small businesses can thrive by filling a niche inside a walkable radius and have decreased marketing costs and higher customer discovery because tens of thousands will walk by every day. So large corporations create more jobs and independent mom-and-pops can reliably compete.

Denser cities don’t have your above problems because the nature of dense cities make all of those things moot. Ive seen many of these same counter arguments before, and my only thought is that Americans have lived in our current state for so long we fail to imagine a better life.

My GOD I hate corporate vet clinics.

My dad was a vet. I'm older (52), but in the era and honestly well into my adulthood, vet clinics were generally sole proprietorships or sometimes professional partnerships. The name on the door was the ownership, not beancounters in an office tower somewhere.

So, took, are the vets I trust our pets with. But I have absolutely noticed this trend of corporate ownership and consolidation, and that has never resulted in better anything for customers or patients.
The 2nd half of the article talks about shocks happening to different people/groups each time. I've heard this referred to as the "Zunger Shock Sieve," because the mechanism filters people down the socio-economic ladder.

I love that phrase, 'shoeshine boy moment'.

I've stayed away from crypto, but my shoeshine boy moment was when we went on a road trip around Wales last summer. We happened to wander into a small shop in a small harbour town in Wales, literally about 4-6 streets in total. The guy behind the counter had some 'pay with crypto' machine and was singing the praises of crypto to all of the old ladies, moms and dads that were ahead of us in the queue...
No. There is no "real" number. 8% is the indicator we use. When it hits 8% we know it's higher than when it's at 3%. You can't ever take that number and extrapolate what things are actually going to cost you day to day. Some things are way more than 8%. Some prices are going down.
I liked the article but, since the x-axis has no magnitude ("the x-axis is the space of all possible actions") there seems to be no difference between the two graphs whatsoever other that the apparent ordering of actions.

> it loses at least 2% of its value by intention

How do you get "at least"? The target used to be "below, but close to 2%", but has been increased to around 2% (symmetrically). It has been less than 2.5% over the last 20 years (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL) including the recent spike, and has been 2.02% from Jan 2001 to Jan 2021, which I'd call precisely on target.

Needless to say, if you parked your extra money in the stock or housing markets, you handily beat inflation. And if you don't have money to invest in the markets, then you don't care about inflation anyway (but rather real wage growth).
> It is disheartening to watch trusted companies utilize that -just enough- mentality to skim over the tops of audits.

I'll be honest, this mentality bothers me. The point of independent audits and guidelines is to tell someone what the minimum bar is. If the minimum is 50, and the company goes from 20 to 50 in order to pass that audit, that's a good thing, not "doing just enough...to skim over the top." If you want to argue the minimum should be 75 instead, fine, but argue that the audit isn't good enough or that the guidelines are wrong, not that the companies are somehow unethical or immoral for spending more money than they need to in order to pass a vendor security review that is not going to award them any extra credit for effort.
because there is no natural law that says Gold/Bitcoin will do well during inflation. Like all non-cash generating assets, it is driven by supply/demand and speculation (nothing to do with inflation protection)

Yes, most likely. By the definition in use, unquestionably. Cost of living feels like it is up 20% (albeit location dependent), which may be what you are thinking of, but inflation and cost of living are decidedly not the same thing.
I hope no datacenters these days are built on the idea of just running cooling with straight electricity (e.g. no cooling water) and shifting the heat straight out to the air (no waste heat recovery). Even in the late 90's that sounds like a poor design.

Personally, I've gone from drinking 6+ cans of Diet Coke a day to 1-2 plus water with no other changes and noticed no effect from it.
Is that really the case though? I thought inflation is just when stuff gets more expensive, and how it’s caused is complicated. So, it can be increase in demand, decrease in supply, both on the buy and sell side (ie supply/demand of things, including dollars).

I think it’s reasonable to say that the majority of the planet shutting down during the pandemic has at least as much to do with inflation as the fed’s monetary policy, if not much more.
Hard/impossible to respond. Every workload is different. It can be mostly compute bound (Linpack), communication bound, a mix, very latency sensitive, etc. Imho, it just depends on the workflow and we should probably use multiple metrics instead of just Linpack peak TFLOPS.
Because the Fed is planning on raising rates and initiating QT for multiple months ahead, and they expect these actions to tighten monetary conditions and lower asset prices. If Fed actually does do this for a sustained period of time, everything but the dollar will be crushed, even US treasuries. It would be the polar opposite of printer go brrr.... maybe, vacuum go vrooom, sucking up all the liquidity and decreasing the money supply. If QE/rock bottom rates = everything bubble, the opposite would mean.... pop.

At some point if/when this course of action becomes untenable due to recession/unemployment/too high interest rates given amount of debt in economy, and Fed reverses course (which they did much earlier last tightening cycle in 2018 when markets tanked), those two assets should rise again. Gold particularly falls when real interest rates rise. But, it is likely they are more serious about taking assets down and essentially inducing a recession given the persistent high inflation. The result of fighting that to any real degree means everything keeps going down...which is literally their goal (the reverse wealth affect to slow inflation).
Not to mention the paragraph that immediately follows the more famous one, in Djiksta's essay:

> We have a very short collective memory. While fuel prices have been quite low over the last ~3-5 years, most people forgot the period between 2008-2014 where fuel was (relatively) expensive and went on right back to buying fuel inefficient SUVs and large trucks.

Which is perfectly rational. Why drive a car you don't want out of fear that gas prices may someday go up?

The real solution is crank gas taxes up so high that the little people are forced to buy little cars or take the bus, like we think they ought to be doing.
Content providers can require app signatures, approval, whatever they want. So... no? Unless you build something that allows everyone to read your email. But don't build that if you don't want that.

As far as "why": why not? Some apps do some things better than others. You can already do this with IMAP, it'd just be deduplicating the download cost / connections / etc, which is generally a good thing for mobile use.
Well, yes, "Just use a different browser" has always been a workaround that web developers can suggest to their users, but let me point out a more substantive problem with that recommendation:

Microsoft Edge was not included with Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry (although it was later made available for it), and that operating system is still within "extended support" until July 2023.

You're right, though, that basically anyone on any supported Windows operating system has an option available to them which probably takes less effort than that required for someone to add and maintain IE11 support to their website.
