This is where economic notions of growth get revealed as being largely nonsensical, or at least not equivalent to biological notions of growth.

For example, most of the molecules in your body are regenerated/replaced on a fairly rapid timeline - seconds when it comes to things like ATP, minutes to hours when it comes to blood sugar, days to weeks when it comes to skin cells and hair and intestinal lining cells, and longer timelines for most other structures, with a few exceptions like much of the bone structure (and even that is dynamic to some extent).

However, your body size doesn't grow despite all this construction continually taking place, does it? You lose as much as you gain, you're in a healthy steady-state condition.

Now, if your body is infested with parasites, ticks and lice and tapeworms and roundworms and malarial protozoans, and they're growing happily, while negatively impacting your overall health, I suppose that's something your neoclassical economist would call 'strong growth of the investor class'...

Welcome to investment capitalism and the financialization of the economy! Not the same as main street capitalism and a healthy industrial economy, is it?

Somewhere in the back of my brain, a little "someone should save it" bell went off. The rest of my brain went "Ha ha, funny!".... then went on to... hmmm... there's a kernel of truth there, and what about blockchains in general.

This it went from passing snark, not worthy of anything but a rant/downvote, into the thread you see before you.

It's a weird thought to have an archive of a currency. Imagine being able to explore the history of all the tally sticks that were used, then deliberately destroyed in 1834[1]

They already have superchats and and memberships(paid, different from subscribing) on Youtube. These are mostly used by streamers. Then again I think you can give superchats on premiers. Not sure if you can limit videos to membership only.
There's a satisfaction you get when you finish a house - there is something you can point to and say "that is done". There's even a satisfaction with mopping a floor, it is clean now even though it will dirty again.

Most programming doesn't have the first and only sometimes do you get the second. It'd be like building a house and finishing and immediately changing something on it, or fixing something that broke, forever. Programming is like being a contractor building the Winchester mansion.
Well, that's not a good assumption to make. Our most capable life detector¹ is analyzing the atmosphere of planets, captures stuff similar to our simplest single celled life. So, it's not a good guess that it's common.

It helped a ton to have a friend playing through it at the same time. Honestly our main strategy was just to go through and talk to every person in the game and then blaze through the menu items as fast as you can. Then you went up to every useable item / environment piece and did the same thing. Rinse repeat. Worked better than you would think!
etcd and zookeeper lock are based on a session.

You open a session and the session open many locks.

if you can’t talk to server the session expire and all lock are released by the server but also the client library notify that the sessions expired.

Also etcd and consul and zookeeper use The Raft consensus algorithm.
it’s literally impossible to make a lock server that is safe without using a consensus algorithm for replication.
When things like the incident below happen it does make me wonder if the COO fully knows everything that is going on at SpaceX.

"In late March, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell told CNBC, "I don't think the US has given us any money to give terminals to the Ukraine." She also said that most of the funding came from private sources, and acknowledged some help from France and possibly Poland, according to CNBC."

Interesting, this reminded me of something I watched long ago about bat-moth interactions.

According to this documentary[1], the Tiger moth has it's own "siren" that "warns bats that it is poisonous", however upon further research I came across this article[2] which claims that it is indeed sonar jamming. Thought I'd share.

aside: it's amazing that I could find Alien Empire online.

Efficiency decreases in importance as panel cost continues on down the steep exponential learning curve. Other considerations become increasingly important, such as mounting cost. Fenceposts are cheap.

Boron is very plentiful, and not much would anyway be needed. By the time we need more we will be equipped to make it or use something else.

In the long term, being found to still depend on solar irradiation for power would be distinctly embarrassing. In any case, all the action will be out in the Kuiper Belt where the truly irreducibly valuable commodities cold and room are abundant, and solar irradiance is hardly noticeable.

CPI inflation includes housing in the form of rent and owner's imputed rent, see question 10 here: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/questions-and-answers.htm

> The CPI represents all goods and services purchased for consumption by the reference population (U or W). BLS has classified all expenditure items into more than 200 categories, arranged into eight major groups (food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education and communication, and other goods and services). Included within these major groups are various government-charged user fees, such as water and sewerage charges, auto registration fees, and vehicle tolls.

This outlines the breakdown: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/owners-equivalent-rent-an...

Owner imputed rent is basically what an owner thinks they would receive if they rented out their primary residence. IMO it's a flawed metric, but it is a necessary adjustment upward from current cost of ownership since most owners are paying mortgages on home prices from when they bought, so asking them what they currently pay does not accurately reflect the cost of someone newly moving into a housing situation.

To your broader point though, yes, higher earners will be less impacted by inflation in certain areas because there's only so many dollars you can spend on food per year. Would be interesting to see a statistical breakdown of this.

No because the content does not “only get published” when the worst happens.

You can find books, popular newspaper articles, etc that predicted the housing crash and some that even predicted the 07-08 timeline.

Fantastic writeup and a great exposition of how to do kernel debugging. Thank you!
I agree with you - except for the legislation part, government is hardly ever the answer. But you could say the same about the Ponzi scheme of VCs investing in startups that they know make no sense economically except with the hope that they can pawn the companies off to retail investors in the public market.

I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount.

Depends on two things - does Youtube give a better cut? Presumably they would, but Google doesn't have a good track record. Second, do they want to trust Google not to both ban their channel _and_ take all their income away.

If you have a YT page, but get your money from Patreon, you have a fallback if either of them drops you for whatever reason.

That's before you get into podcasts on Patreon, which seems to make up a lot of their userbase, if you look at their most patronized stuff. There's no particularly good podcast monetization platform, rightfully, because of its decentralized protocol.
You've done that thing where you assume the non-Anglosphere is ignorant of crypto. In reality they know that the whole scheme _really_ benefits.
Most clients are just marketing.

Banks make money with your money. And 99% of stored money comes from 0.1% of their clients.

Leverage coming from fractional-reserve [1] is just a part of it but it gives you some idea.

If you mean just credit cards, it's much different scale than what we're discussing here and a duopoly which is basically a money printing machine. If somebody has any insight how much money Visa/Mastercard make from banks and institutions vs users I'd love to hear it.

But don't forget that apart from a small percentage which goes to CC provider, they also get the most valuable data there is about you as a consumer (and more generally about all consumers worldwide and trends across multitude of dimensions).

I think it's broadly true that people have a lot more leisure time that they think. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has surveys on how Americans spend their time[1]. Across the entire population, people spend 3.61 hours per day on Work and work-related activities, vs 5.19 hours per day on Leisure and sports.

If that seems a bit off, consider that a lot of people barely work at all (especially those under 25 and over 65), and those that have full time employment usually only work 5 days per week, which lowers the average hours per day considerably. So throughout an entire lifetime, I think it's true that Americans spend a lot more time on leisure and sport than on work. It just doesn't feel that way, especially when you're in prime working age.

But even full time employed parents (probably the group that perceives themselves most time starved) still spend 2.95 (mothers) to 3.52 (fathers) hours per day on Leisure and sports[2].

Part of it is that there's a certain amount of food each person can reasonably eat - so if you want to feed a hundred people you can have, say, five or so with modern equipment farm the field and feed all 100, or you could have all 100 work with more outdated equipment (think: horses, etc) and farm the same amount.
Or still talk to VCs, but leverage is on your side now.

It's not just state tax. It's also capital gains tax. In the right circumstances, there's no capital gains tax on appreciated assets. This is why some cryptocurrency investors are moving there.
Video game UIs do (almost) everything you just mentioned.

Accessibility: I'm not well versed on accessibility.

Power Use: mobile games are a thing. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that, on average, mobile games use less battery than electron apps (excluding Unity games. Unity games are the Electron Apps for video games).

cross-platform abstractions like I/O: video games run on more platforms than most apps with a larger variety of I/O and control types.

Regardless, that wasn't my point. My point is that video games are doing much, much more than most desktop apps could ever dream of doing in terms of pure work, and yet things like complex UIs and cross-platform deployments aren't considered difficult problems.
> If you buy a painting in real life, how exactly do you roll it back if someone steals it from you?

Generally, if you manage to track down a painting someone stole from you, you don't have to buy it back for a six figure sum like Greene did for his beloved ape.

Buying or possessing stolen property is a crime, so police intervention is the closest equivalent to reconciliation that we have in the world of physical goods.
Anyone that thinks CBDC's are going to replace crypto are mistaken. The use cases aren't the same. But I have seen a comment claim this.

For the first several years of its existence, the bitcoin exchange rate was completely decoupled from the broader economy. It went up and down seemingly with no relationship to other markets. This attracted a lot of investors who were looking for an asset that didn't move in the same direction as everything else.

In late 2020, the bitcoin exchange rate began a meteoric rise. One hypothesis was that this steep rise was foreshadowing massive inflation ahead. It was, of course lambasted as ridiculous. Inflation was dead and everyone knew it.

Fast forward to 2022 and an inflationary spike is bearing down on the economy with its jaws wide open. It has taken central bankers everywhere by complete surprise.

Now the bitcoin exchange rate is collapsing. The article's take on "what this means" is something along the lines of a fool and his money are soon parted.

What the article never considers is the possibility that this collapse in exchange rate is the canary in the coalmine signaling that inflation is about to fall off a cliff. Money is being destroyed at rate that central bankers can't even fathom, at the same time they're raising short term interest rates and starting QT. This would have very ominous implications for the world economy if true.

The financial collapse starts with Bitcoin because it's the most highly-levered and least regulated market. It now feels the brunt of the global monetary ebb and flow first.

Only time will tell how accurate this interpretation is. But if it's true, there will be far more important things to worry about than the schadenfreude of scammers getting their comeuppance.

Why is it so?

New houses have more than doubled in size since the 1950s while holding one less occupant on average.

Houses have a lot more amenities than they used to have, like AC and a clothes dryer instead of a clothes line.

We have torn down about a million SROs* since the 1950s and largely zoned out of existence the ability to build new Missing Middle housing.

We are more car oriented than in the past and cars are typically the second largest expense in a household budget and they've gotten crazy expensive as well.

Having said that, I will recommend the (possibly out of print) book How to survive without a salary by Charles Long in support of your crazy plan. ;)

Your experience with Patreon will depend on what kind of thing you're supporting.

For example, if you support a Youtube channel you might continue watching on Youtube and rarely need to visit Patreon's website at all.

But if you support an author who is releasing a book, three pages per day? And you're paying for early access? You'll notice there's no bookmarking / next page features.

And if that author has three price tiers, depending on how many pages of early access you get? Only the most expensive tier can get new-pages-uploaded e-mails - new pages being unlocked for lower tiers isn't an event that triggers notification e-mails.

Earlier you said:
“You are confusing what we "see", with interpretations that don't occur in the eyes. That's even why you put the word "see" in quotes. You used the wrong word. The word "see" explicity refers to what is observed by the eyes, not our later interpretations.”

Are you saying that the brain interpreting signals from the eyes (real-time) cannot be affected by past experiences (i.e. interpreted)?

If that’s not what you’re saying then I’m not sure what your opinion is, feel free to re-state it if you want to have more pointless discussions ^^
Derivatives have underlyings. An option is the right to purchase or sell a stock (or something else); a future is the right/obligation to accept delivery of something at a future time. While the payout curve is more complicated than straightforward ownership, they derive their value from their relation to some underlying assets.
