It's a strawman argument for founders, but I am fairly sure it is made out of ignorance.

Let's say a sole founder buys $100,000 worth of Amazon Cloud, Nvidia cards, smartphones etc. Yes, one person is at the company, but others made those goods. The founder may not have directly exploited the person who made the smartphone they're using, but someone did.

Also, let's say I sell my small company which is well positioned in a fast growing market. The buyers are not buying based on what happened before, but on the future work and revenues that will be acquired from people working on the product.

At the end of the day there are people who work and create wealth and get a wage or salary, and there are idle class heir LPs who do not work or create wealth. The heirs survive on the wealth created in expropriated, unpaid surplus labor time of workers who do work. VCs front for the LPs, and founders deal with the VCs.

I don't think Graham even knows what he is arguing with. I'm not trying to make a convincing argument for the other side, but a clarifying one.

Incidentally, pretty much every economist up until the mid 19th century agreed with my view in some form - Adam Smith, Benjamin Franklin, David Ricardo - all the people who made economic arguments which economists still use. They said they studied political economy. It wasn't until the 1870s that arguments against new value being created by labor were started in full swing, although some of the ideas go back to the 1830s.
I agree that it’s cynical, but I suspect we will see less reproductive freedoms as states see their population growth go negative. Why use the carrot when you have a perfectly good stick.

Finding a wonderful partner and building a family are the best things I have ever done. Highly recommended. If I could go back, I'd spend less time "working hard and playing hard" in the decade after I finished school and start working on the family much sooner. It's hard to express how much more rewarding it is than anything I was doing before.

Your mileage may vary, but kids are great, truly.
Is it really?

There is nothing wrong with fighting for workers rights while automation is not here yet.

The problem is that automation has to be taxed accordingly to allow us to live with dignity when there is no job to occupy (i.e UBI), and guess who's against taxation? "The left" would be the wrong answer.

I don't see any paradox. 1.Tax the rich now. 2. Improve worker rights which will push us faster towards automation. 3. Prepare legislation to tax automation and implement UBI.

What happens if we don't do that?

1. The rich will continue to take advantage of people's labor while paying them peanuts. 2. The middle class disappears, we end up with a system of two classes, the slaves and the lords. 3. Automation will come regardless and we won't be ready for it regulation wise, and people will die from hunger.

Be sure to look into how you will handle Health Insurance.

You are required to have Health Insurance if you live in Germany, and for freelancers it is quite expensive(it will probably cost more per month than apartment rent). This can be a dealbreaker for people with limited financial resources who need some time to get their business off the ground.
Terms of service and legal warranties are executed on each transfer of the NFT otherwise the NFT buyer has only statutory legal rights. Those people are being paid by the new buyer of the NFT specifically to give them some real confidence in what they are buying, because the Certifiers are putting their assets on the line to back the promises made to the NFT purchaser.

If the issuer no longer exists you wind up in court claiming title to the land by virtue of having paid for it - and you'd be dealing (likely) with receivers or other people involved in bankruptcy proceedings. These are anticipated contingencies in the contracts we use.

Tested only occurs when a litigation happens. If the system is smooth and reliable, we could see 200 transactions before litigation. However, good lawyers read the contracts, make a risk assessment, and decide whether or not to proceed.

The contracts we use do pass review with good lawyers. These systems are fit for purpose, and a close legal review will satisfy most prospective purchasers of that fact.
> The fact that we need a justice system to judge and statue on libel case seems to show that it is not enough to just let the people decide what is true because they are rational and check the argument of the two persons and will therefore not be convinced by the libelous claim. The reason libel should be settle by laws is because people are giving credit to irrational claims.

No, it's because people operate rationally on bounded information. Introducing a poison pill into such a bounded context undermines the effectiveness of this type of reasoning. Changing the type of reasoning isn't possible, ergo you should punish defectors to reduce the incentives to introduce poison pills.

> My point is that I think rational reasoning is not able to change 100% of people opinion, and therefore it is legitimate to add some sort of intervention (not a dictatorship, but something that is well balanced, such as "libel laws").

Rational argument doesn't have to change 100% of people's opinions, we just have to ensure that most people share democratic values and the rest will follow.

> I don't think that humans had somehow the "irrational gene" until suddenly the "rational gene" emerged leading to the rise of the rational argument

Actually something like this probably did happen. The field of memetics studies this sort of thing.

> Your previous argument was, I think, "see, there is a speed of 10 growth in S3 (which is much better than S2), so it's the proof it works and some intervention is not needed". Well, no, S4 shows that intervention is needed if we want to get an even better society.

First, you assume that "growth" has some intrinsic value that exceeds the values of freedom of thought, speech and association. I don't see why I have to accept that.

Second, you also neglect to complete your argument: exactly what "interventions" should be permitted and what qualifies as "rational" or "irrational". These are questions that can only be answered by democratic consensus, and democratic consensus implies a rational debate with the intent to persuade.

This demonstrates that your S3 and S4 are not actually distinct. Thus, any S4 would be constrained to grow at exactly the same rate as S3.
As another poster has also said, it is not likely that the 7-day week has a Babylonian origin and it is pretty certain that it does not have a Sumerian origin.

The Sumerians did not worship 7 gods seen in the sky, that claim is an anachronism. Among those listed, initially they worshiped only the Sun and the Moon.

Some time, probably during the 4th millennium BC, the Sumerian goddess Inanna has become associated with the Morning Star and the Evening Star, after the Sumerians have made the very important discovery that the Morning Star and the Evening Star are the same celestial body, which is now known as the planet Venus, by a transfer from Inanna to the goddess Ishtar in Babylon, then to Aphrodite in Greece, and finally to the goddess Venus in Rome. (There is an intriguing possibility that the association between Inanna and the planet Venus might have been caused by the sight of a great comet. When they are visible, the comets are seen in the same places as Venus, i.e. not far from the Sun. When the great comet became invisible, Venus could become visible in about the same place, and the Sumerians could have interpreted the facts as that they had seen Inanna going to war and then returning to her peaceful state, as in some of their myths. There are some poems and drawings that suggest the possibility of such an interpretation. The memory of such an impressive celestial event would explain the great awe of the Sumerians for Inanna and her star, now the planet Venus. Otherwise it would have been normal to consider the Sun and the Moon as much more important.)

Except for the Sumerians and those who have inherited their culture, there is no evidence of ancient people who were aware that the Morning Star and the Evening Star are the same body, even as late as in the first half of the first millennium BC, e.g. Homer and the other early Greek writers do not appear to be aware of this, even if they mention both the Morning Star and the Evening Star very frequently.

So the Sumerians knew only 3 celestial bodies associated with gods.

The 4 planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have been discovered by the Babylonians, some time in the second millennium BC, and eventually they became associated with 4 of the Babylonian gods, e.g. the planet named now Jupiter was the planet of Marduk. The Greeks took the god-planet associations from the Babylonians, then the Romans from the Greeks.

There is no evidence that anyone had any knowledge about Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn before the Babylonians.

Obviously the earlier people must have noticed that there are some places in the sky where some times a bright star can be seen (i.e. usually Jupiter or Mars), but some times the star is in a different position or it is no longer seen anywhere close.

However, until the star observations began to be recorded, continuously for many years, like in Babylon, no earlier than the 2nd millennium BC, it was not possible to decide how many of these random star sightings correspond to the same wandering star, or to different stars that appear and disappear, and how many such mobile stars exist.
I think if you had the opportunity to go to an inexpensive school or an expensive school and you chose to take loans and go to the expensive one, then you chose the loans.

That said, I think we are all victims of the horrible free-financial-aid policies that have pumped overwhelming amounts of seemingly-but-not-at-all-free money into the system and driven college tuitions to absolutely insane heights.

> Kinks are impossible to pin down or fence in, people can get turned on by literally anything.

While a true statement it's also a non-sequitur. Anglosphere society is roiled with social turmoil about trans-gender identity. One faction would like society to recognize that some people's gender does not fit their sex, and to normalize accommodating these people's gender expression without intrusive and oppressive questioning. Another faction, perhaps motivated by genuine concern, or perhaps by simple hatred of difference and change, throw a spanner into the works by asking hard questions about bathrooms and prisons and athletics and such. If the only people interested in entering women's bathrooms and prisons were genuinely only women who happened to be born in a male body, then everything would be clear and unmuddied. However, the existence of some fraction of men who would happily identify as women in order to gain easier sexual access to women does complicate the simple distinction. Is a trans woman lesbian with a penis really trans, or a predatory man with a kink? Ignoring or dismissing the muddy implications of the question will not make the second faction go away.

I think it will be a case study in late-empire corruption and the failure of propaganda.

There's a reason the "buy" (not sell) button was turned off for a day on $GME alone. That's market manipulation. There's a reason it no charges were filed. The SEC openly admits it's corrupt. There are talking heads on the finance channels who openly admit the markets are rigged.

You're right, FTX was a scam. And SBF openly admitted fraudulent actions. So he's in jail, right? Oh, sorry, no -- he's a "distinguished" guest speaking on a New York Times panel.

It's all a scam. All of it. The difference with $GME is that, in this case, they got caught. Hedge funds naked shorted the stock and got caught. At some point they will need to cover and won't be able to. Here's some reading:

You are mad because you think this stock is overvalued?? Well, guess what: The entire market is overvalued! It's all bullshit. P/E ratios are off the charts when we're facing a deep economic downturn. No one should be in the market -- at all. If there's one stock to hold, it's this and for three reasons: they naked shorted; they got caught; and they're fucked.

Note that Latch offers a physical key, which I got when I asked for it in exchange for a $50 deposit, but as my landlord noted, “please use the app occasionally instead of the keycard, so that we can receive low battery reports”.

Which means, as far as I can determine anyways, that Latch uses the app method so that building owners don’t have to deploy wireless AP infrastructure, and can instead externalize all status reporting about a lock to your phone’s cellular/wifi plan.

(It also offers backup PINs, but their keypads are really awful.)

Hey everyone, this is a response I had floating in the back of my mind to an article previously posted called [Stop lying to yourself – you will never "fix it later"](https://uselessdevblog.wordpress.com/2022/11/10/stop-lying-t...).

I believe some of the success that I've had building complicated long-timeframe projects can be attributed to this practice of high-humility documentation which includes descriptions of all the warts and issues we still have with the code we're sending to production. Please share any feedback or advice on how I might refine this concept.

Has anyone else taught and practiced anything similar? I felt like for most of my early career I was conditioned to omit mentioning the parts of my code I didn't quite love, but weren't bad enough to stop a delivery.

AI art is not nearly there yet, and has very significant areas in which it struggles a lot. The funny thing about it is that just like normal art there are easy and hard things to accomplish, but it's nigh impossible for a person new to this concept to tell which is which: https://xkcd.com/1425/

Overall, the easy part of AI art is generic portraits where you either don't care about the details, or want to use existing, popular things. Eg, you can ask for Harry Potter. And you can ask for a random character. But if you have a personal, distinctive design you made and want to bring to life, then it can get very tough pretty fast.

In fact, the best possible user for an AI generator would be an artist that's also capable of training a custom model. That opens up way more possibilities. Here's what this looks like:

This is untrue on so many levels. You can probably guess who wrote the rest of my comment.

There are many examples of AI being used to improve various aspects of our lives. For instance, AI is being used in healthcare to improve the accuracy of diagnoses and to develop new treatments for diseases. In the field of transportation, AI is being used to develop self-driving cars and trucks that can improve safety and efficiency on the roads. In the retail industry, AI is being used to personalize customer experiences and improve the accuracy of inventory management. Additionally, AI is being used in finance to improve the accuracy of credit scoring and fraud detection.

How do you deal with the burden of knowing/predicting what the right thing (tm) is / will turn out to be?

Not that I'm an architect; but still. How do you cope?
Not sure what you read there but the roughly $500B figure is a real loss in the commercial real-estate sector as leases some off the books. It’s a slow burn.

There’s an additional expense to try to repurpose these building as residential but it’s a massive one that won’t come easily. You can’t just turn modern office buildings into residential building by reworking the interior. Most wouldn’t meet residential codes (like bedrooms needing windows, emergency egress, additional plumbing and waste requirements, parking etc)

Commercial real estate is going to take a massive hit the next 3-4 years and that $435B number is a real estimate in the decline in commercial real-estate value. It comes from this study.
