When the Fed buys the bonds back, they remove the bonds from circulation, so it's an equivalent exchange. Likewise, when they sell their bonds as part of raising interest rates, they're removing money from circulation, which is also an equivalent exchange. The only time something is created from nothing is when the Treasury issues new bonds to fund increasing government spending.

My original question was how wealth-as-measured could disappear when dollars were included, not how demand for stocks could shift to demand for dollars. In a market with one good, the value of a dollar must move inversely with the value of the good (no examples needed, it's mathematically tautological) - and that is not what we see happening on the linked page. That's what my question is.

Som eyears ago I was thinking of joining my local Equinox. A few of us went for a tour and here's what I remember most. In the lobby there were 5 "membership consultants" for signing people up. None of them were doing anything at that point. While there one of them answered a phone call. The person on the other end clearly wanted to cancel. "I'm sorry, no one can help you with that right now. You should come in tomorrow."

In my case at least it would've been a payroll deduction so I'd never have to deal with cancelling. I'd just cancel the payroll deduction (as in it was a corporate rate).

A lot of people don't like Adobe having subscription services. I actually think subscriptions are a better fit for software. You never really "own" your software as much as you think you might. You've just created an incentive for the company to bump the major version and sell you an "upgrade" while abandoning your version. Adobe did this cameras they'd support with their RAW plugin. The RAW plugin just had completely nnnecessary minimum versions to force people to upgrade.

But Adobe's subscription model sucks. You have to purchase a year minimum. There are lots of dark patterns to auto-renew. Actually cancelling is difficult.

Compare this to Jetbrains (which I pay for). When you cancel you get to use any version you've paid for in perpetuity. They send you advance notice about renewals. I'm happy to pay it.

There are a number of news publications I'd like to support but I just don't want to deal with an opaque "introductory pricing" and having to call someone to cancel. I'm not supporting such practices with my money.

I realize some MBA somewhere has done the math on new subs lost vs continuing subs they'd lose but this is a classic example of short-term thinkin gyour way into extinction.
Terrestrial cameras don't behave that way. They apply tone curves from the beginning. They have to pick a white balance. They have to cram an HDR signal into an 8-bit image. They have to decide exactly how to process the color- every film stock and digital camera renders color a bit differently, even when ones that are all trying to produce true-color images and there are humans around who can compare it with their own subjective perceptions. The simplest, linearest way to do it is probably wrong, due to mismatches between human color perception and the camera's sensor / film stock. Eg, human rods and cones almost certainly don't have the same frequency response as the color filters inside your camera, and that's just the beginning.

Anyway, this post shows an example comparing a "flat" color composite and one that's been tonemapped etc. This is using Hubble data but it's the same subject as one of the JWST images.

On the contrary, I find the fact that all four projects ended up over schedule and over budget rather shows that the design didn't adequately consider constructability. The issues the French project seems to be addressing in the latest delays (weld/pipe issues) seem similar to issues it is also correcting in a number of reactors that have operated for ~twenty years.

If it was an international connection at LAX to Canada, why was all of this done? They're not really entering the US, merely connecting. If, however, they're entering the US and then, say, driving to Canada then the US Border people have more to say.

Choosing a PostgreSQL Number Format
The typical digital camera of today works the same way, just with 3 filters (R, G, B) kind of like a CRT pixel array in reverse[0].

This kind of mimics the human eye, which is sensitive to those three approximate color frequencies, but it's interesting to note other species besides humans (and, apparently, even some humans)[1] have vision that work with more "filters", or on different spectra (such as honeybees).

I've always found it kind of amazing that so many satellite imaging devices work on far greater spectral ranges with far more color filters, being able to discern far more information than we could with the naked eye (but in essentially the same way).

With the web versions of this, every app that badgers me gets a 1 star review for badgering me by insisting that I review it. Every cancellation, I select "other" and tell them I don't do business with people that hold my subscription hostage until I answer questions.

Personally, I feel there is some fraud (or some other legal term here) going on when I press a "Cancel Subscription" button and it doesn't cancel. A regular confirmation box is fine and understandable, but they can't help but change the default colors and text on those, or word them oddly to make me want to back out. Bu "cancelling" followed up by mandatory questions/answers about why I'm quitting is forcing me to work for them building their data sets without compensation. Maybe I should send them a bill.
You're right, and the conventional advice has been to have a mix of stocks and bonds, with bonds to reduce volatility and preserve some of the wealth that you might need to access in the shorter term. However, what's unusual about the past few months is that bonds have been getting whacked too!

Here's a comparison of four Vanguard funds, with stock:bond ratios of 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 respectively: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VASGX,VSMGX,VSCGX,VASIX What I find interesting is that they are all experiencing significant and comparable drawdowns right now.

Here are treasury bonds with a comparison between duration: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFISX,VFITX,VUSTX

And here are corporate bonds with a comparison between duration: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VFSTX,VFICX,VWESX

Even inflation-protected bonds (TIPS) are in trouble: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VIPSX

So right now, bonds are not doing much to provide the short-term real wealth preservation that lets people take the 100% time exposure risk.

> How can everything go down at once, doesn't the money have to go somewhere?

How can everything go up at once, doesn't the money have to come from somewhere?

Certainly we can have everything go up whenever we find more resources than we consume. Natural resources, when exploited create value for all. A more energy and resource rich world causes everything to go up.

Why is it so hard to understand that increasing energy and resource constraints causes everything to go down?

And, more specific to our situation, much of the perceived value is credit. If I owe you $100,000, as long as you know I'll pay, you can consider that part of your value. But if I don't make enough to pay you, suddenly you aren't going to get that money.

Our entire global economy is massively over-leveraged and the only way to maintain that is perpetual growth, in a real sense of having access to ever more energy and resources. When the future delivers less than expected we start seeing that value disappear from the books.
Kotlin has some functionality for this that help the compiler. A good example is the isNullOrBlank() extension function on String? (nullable String). It has a contract that treats the string as not null after it returns false. So if you do a null check, it smart casts to a non nullable string without generating a compile error.

There are a few more variations of that in the Kotlin standard library and you can write your own contracts as well. There's just not a whole lot you can do with it other than stuff like this. But it's useful.

Economic Concentration – Amazon Threatens Local Restaurants
> Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI increased 5.9%, compared to the 5.7% estimate.

I'm not an economist, and as a layman I'm confused why they exclude something as 'core' as food and energy from core CPI; apparently 'core' is commodities like apparel, new vehicles, used vehicles, medicine, alcohol, and tobacco, and services like shelter, medical care, and transportation. Food is up 12% year-over-year, so not much more than the overall stat, the big contributor is petroleum products: Piped natural gas service is up 38%, gasoline commodities are up 60%, and fuel oil commodities up a whopping 98%.

The chart at BLS.gov [1] is a decent way to explore these parameters; before submission to /r/dataisbeautiful I'd ask that the sub-levels should have slightly different colors for each bar (keep the 'green' for 'other' distinction, but use multiple shades of green), and that there was some indication at upper levels of the fraction from each sub-category. For example, energy services are listed at 19.4%, but only have two categories of electricity at 13.7 and natural gas piping at 38.4. The average of those two is 26%, which is larger than 19.4...for what reason?

I once had a gig playing piano at a restaurant. It was a weekday mid-day stretch and I was scheduled for about 3 or 4 hours, as I recall. I put together about a 90 minute set of stuff out of my fake books that I figured I could do without embarrassing myself and surely no one would stay at the restaurant longer than 90 minutes.

Well, being weekday mid-day, the restaurant was nearly empty and there was some guy who sat there by himself for over two hours. I ended up taking some of my standards and doing what I could to stretch them out, playing lots of repeats, doing extended improvs over the changes. I turned Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon” which I normally did as about a 4–5 minute piece following the structure of the Maynard Ferguson version which was the basis for the charts that I originally learned the song from into a 10 minute piece with extended improvs and some bonus repeats. “Night Train” turned into another 10-minute number. And this guy just did not leave. Finally, when I was almost out of material, he got up, dropped a twenty¹ in my tip jar and headed out.

1. I also got paid by the restaurant, but as I recall, he was the only customer out of the single-digit number of diners in the restaurant who left a tip.
The reality of the situation is that we need a double-digit rate increase to soak up all this inflation (at least 14% according to Taylor Rule) which will promptly crater the markets and throw us in a long recession just like in the 80s. So instead we're getting half a percent every other month which is one of those things that the FED does to pretend they're working on a solution. It seems like the question going forward is going to be whether Jerome Powell is going to be saving the economy or his seat and so far it's looking like the latter.

> 400s and 500s SHOULD have a body

I agree about 4xx bodies, generally. They indicate that the request was malformed or unsuccessful in some way. The requester can fix this problem.

I think a 5xx should always represent an error on the server side that the requester cannot fix. It is always a bug or system failure to return a 5xx, which should be fixed by the API operator. Therefore no details are required or desirable to return to the requester.

A desk fan, because it's hot.

Most items on Amazon just aren't worth it anymore. The cut Amazon takes goes too far into margins that only the products with the highest margins (lowest production costs) remain on the platform. I assume the desk fan I'm getting is going to be cheaply built, but I don't need it to be amazing for a simple job.

Some big brands are worth buying from on there, but they must either have a deal with Amazon or only discount a small amount. And then typically the discount they do give will be echoed elsewhere at some point.

Prime Day is not a good time for a bargain. Black Friday is still okay, but again only really for big brands.
