The 8% growth isn’t unreasonable but if we aren’t matching it over the long term with similar salary growth for a large portion of the population it becomes a problem. Since salary normally only grows at 2% for most people in another 10 years we are in a situation where almost no one can afford a house who isn’t getting help from their parents.

Incorrect. If the currency is mandated to be acceptable for all debts, then there is a relationship between the total amount of currency in the country and the total value of tradeable assets within that country.

Needless to say that relationship is complicated, you can’t work it out on a napkin, but it’s a mistake to think it’s random.

It's basically correct if you peel back a few abstractions: Taxes must be paid in dollars in accordance with federal law. Federal law is established through elected representatives. The legislative process is a democratic republic's mechanism for coming to agreement on rules that affect society at large.

In other words, at some point in time a bunch of elected representatives agreed that the dollar would be worth something and codified that in law.

> a 10% income tax will work out to be the same percent of your berries taken away during the trade.

The key point is that the government won't accept berries as payment of your taxes. You have to sell your berries to someone else for dollars, and then pay your taxes in those dollars.
It is a byproduct of how money works you can check a sample here:

Basically, up to 0.9 dollar is lent to customer 1 with 0.10 in reserve who deposits in bank 2 .. who lends up to 0.81 to customer 2.. who deposits in bank….

So you end up with the “same” dollar being reused across the whole monetary system multiple times…

Better for whom? That's the question. Maybe the imbalance in wealth distribution corrects, or maybe the wealth simply concentrates in still few hands. If I had the money, I'd bet on the latter.
Currency is a social phenomenon that has emerged in many places without a central goverment requiring tax payments though. I think the value of fiat money is more based on the overall strength stability of the government that says it is legal tender for all debts, rather than tax payments narrowly.

This is not logically correct. Let’s consider two statements:

2. If you are fit enough, you can run a 100 mile ultramarathon.

Both statements are true, but clearly the level and kind of fitness required to do one is different from the other.
The other problem is ancient codebases that have been through multiple version control systems. Or started with no VCS at all. For example, any history before 2000 is lost to LibreOffice. What is worse is that for some time the internal processes of Star Division meant that someone bundled up a bunch of code into a single commit, with a terse message about what they fixed.

It's very, very hard to tell what code got changed for what issue in those commits.

> it's populace became more and more disenfranchised and apathetic as time went on

You see claims like this all the time but they are so blatantly ahistorical its fascinating.

No one but white men could vote in the U.S. until the early 1900s when women were given the right to vote.

And pretty much only white people were allowed to vote until 1965 when black people, Asians, etc were given the right to vote.

The U.S. may call itself the oldest democracy but there are only a handful of democracies that so heavily disenfranchised such significant parts of their population as recently as the US did.

It’s been a little more than 50 years where millions of people were not legally disenfranchised, so by any measure the US population has become more enfranchised.

Further, as the chart in the Wikipedia page below show, voter turnout has been constantly increasing in the US (at least for Presidential elections)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_Stat...

The evidence indicates that the populace is becoming less, not more apathetic.
It could involve a spectrum of activities such as

* Occasionally kisses other people

* OK with oneself and SO dancing with other people with physical contact

* One of the members of the partnership does some form of sex work (including phone-sex operator, webcam peformer, exotic dancer, etc)

* Occasional threesomes

None of these would be monogamous by some definition, but some would consider these different from a style of nommonogamy where someone dates entirely separately from their partner(s)

Banks requirement is that they have 10% of assets on hand at any moment. So if you, or the federal reserve gives them a dollar, that means they can create a record of 9 dollars owed to other parties without being over levered. Remember that's what is being done here, numbers in ledgers are increased but nobody has to send a brinks truck to move pieces of paper or bullion.

Yes. This is how banking has always worked, even before central banks. Being part of a central banking system basically just means that the liabilities (i.e. deposits) created by all the member banks are fungible.
This was pretty wild at the time, an ongoing cat and mouse game, definitely an interesting distraction. Unfortunately, Shia wasn't actually enjoying it as much as it seemed because after the 4th or 5th iteration I think he went crazy and had to be checked in to some kinda mental health facility.
You have to use 2nd order thinking.

I give you $10. You lend $9 to Joe. Joe takes that money and deposits it in your bank. So, now you have $19 in your bank. You lend Sally $8.1 of the $9 that Joe gave you. Sally deposits the $8.1 in your bank. Your bank now has $27 in deposits. Continue until you've basically got 10x what you originally had in deposits.

The issue with Go is it's a "worse is better" situation: it's easy to go from 0 to a limited amount of productivity, but then it peaks because of the impractical and unreasonable design limitations due to absurd governance decisions. It's too minimal and too limited in key ways out of design purity.

Rust's syntax and verbosity sometimes leaves much to be desired or the convoluted syntax and structures to get interior mutability, but it doesn't matter because of its immense power in the spirits of say ML, Haskell, or C#. Rust can do a lot of what they do and a lot more, and safer. Pony and Idris are barely used but have features Rust doesn't have.

I think too many people poo-poo Rust because they either don't want to understand it or can't grasp its concepts like lifetimes (liveness) or move. It's easy to dismiss what one doesn't understand and stake a claim with an irrational, tribal ego opinion rather than consider the alternatives in the programming toolbox for a given purpose.

Yes! As an example, if you borrow money from a bank to buy a house:
- the bank literally creates that money out of thin air to pay for the house.
- that is new money, and therefore the total money supply (of your entire currency) is increased.
- when you you make a mortgage payment, you are decreasing the total money supply.

All modern economies are built of this system.

To make things weirder, you need to repay to the bank more money than they lent you. If everybody wanted to repay their mortgages at once, there would not be enough money available to do this, without more money being created. (At least, I think that's how it works -- it's super confusing!)
Why disgust?

Money is useful so you don't have to get paid in sacks of potatoes and big screen televisions and instead get an abstraction. Being able to manage the money supply instead of having a physical good (like gold) being money is also useful so you can appropriately manage export imbalances and costs across borders, etc.

Money is a lot better than the alternative... an "economy" based only on nepotism, power, and relationships.

Parser generators aren't widely used for implementing shells (or JavaScript engines, or C/C++ compilers, for that matter). IMO they're nice for designing languages, but not necessarily implementing them.

bash is actually one of the only shells that uses yacc, and the maintainer regards it as a mistake. It uses yacc for maybe 1/4 of the language and the rest is all hand written stuff intertwined with generated code. It's pretty messy.

The point is not that the bank magically credits someone with $10. The $10 figure is arrived at after a series of infinitely recursive loans and deposits.

If you deposit $10, you still have $10, it's just in a bank account. If the bank then lends out $9 of that and hands it to them, that person now has $9, and you still have $10 (in your account). Presto, now there's $19 of money available. Of course if you both want to spend your money at the same time, then the bank will have to go back to the fed and say oops! we're illiquid and need to borrow $9. And the fed will say, ugh, you should manage your capital better but here's a loan for $9.

The same process that's occurred here can be done recursively, i.e. the person who borrowed $9 can deposit it in another bank, who then loans out $8.10, and so on...

This works out such that for every real dollar d, the total money supply is (d / r), where r is the reserve requirement, in this case, 10%.
The best source I've come across on central banking and monetary policy is Nomi Prins' Collusion - in particular, because it doesn't just look at the Fed, but rather the top central banks of the world, from the USA to Europe to Japan to China to Brazil. They're all linked together to some degree via currency swaps and similar mechanisms. For example:

""On March 9, 2015, Draghi introduced yet another QE program, the Expanded Asset Purchase Programme (EAPP). This one would buy public sector securities, too. The program consisted of a third covered bond purchase program (CBPP3), an asset-backed securities purchase program (ABSPP). and a public sector purchase program (PSPP). It could have equally decided to buy scones and jam or croissants and butter - that would have spread money more directly into the real economy, at least as far as bakers and fruit farms were concerned. These purchases of public- and private-sector securities would run E60 billion per month." p226

That's a fundamental point - monetary policy alone doesn't decide outcomes, it's who benefits from a given monetary policy - and that's often determined by a government's fiscal policy, which is supposedly separate from a central bank's monetary policy: again, see Prins:

> "But in the bank's moment of peril, the Fed unleashed a global policy of injecting fabricated money into the worldwide financial system. This flood of cheap money resulted in the subsequent issuance of trillions of dollars of debt, pushing the global level of debt to $325 trillion, more than three times global GDP. By mid 2017, the total assets held by the G3 central banks - the US Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB), and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) - through conjured-money QE programs - had hit more than $13.5 trillion. The figure was equivalent to 17 percent of currency-adjusted global GDP."

> "Specifically, the largest private banks, including JPMorganChase, DeutscheBank, and HSBC, that inhaled this cheap money were not required to increase their lending to the Main Street economy as a condition of the availability of that money. Instead, the banks hoarded the cash. US banks colluded with the Fed to get that cash by stashing their bonds as 'excess reserves' (more reserves for emergencies than regulations required) on the Fed's books. And, because of the Emergency Federal Stabilization Act of 2008, they recieved 0.25 percent interest per year from the Fed on those reserves, too. Wall Street used its easy access to cheap money to increase speculation in derivatives and other complex securities. They used it to buy back their own shares, thus effectively manipulating their own stock - in broad daylight and with explicit approval from the Fed. In turn these banks dialed back their lending to small and midsized businesses, which hampered their growth potential."

I get all of this at some level, but the piece I don’t understand is - where does the Treasury bill come from? Does the bank use its customers’ cash to purchase government securities, and then the Fed buys the government securities from the bank? It doesn’t seem like that step would be necessary (why can’t the bank just create money based on deposited assets and applicable reserve requirements?), so I assume I’m not thinking about this the right way.

Firstly, it's not the whole picture - https://www.federalreserve.gov/supervisionreg/large-bank-cap...

Secondly, if you dig a little deeper into the page you linked, you'll see it's because the system has changed around the banks and those specific requirements (to keep an account centrally, with the federal reserve, for a certain amount) are no longer considered useful.
