> Religion? You’ll have to do better than that.

The Austrian school is expressly, overtly, an unashamedly ideologically normative rather than empirically descriptive, which is why they are the example I cited.

> Meanwhile, what’s your take on the historical fact that gold rushes (when money was backed by gold) resulted in inflation?

That money supply changes can cause inflation is not the same as all inflation being the fault of money supply changes.

> What’s your take on the fact that the US had net zero inflation from 1800 to 1914, and endemic inflation ever since (except for a brief period during the Depression)?

Well, that its false, there have been brief deflationary periods far more recently than the Great Depression (the most notable recent one, though not actually the most recent, being during the Great Recession.)

> And why are oil price hikes always blamed for inflation, but when oil prices fall there’s no deflation?

Oil price falls can lead to deflation (IIRC, that was the main cause of the brief, slight 2015 deflation).

> Let’s face it. Inflation is the result of the Fed policy of “spend all you want - we’ll just print more!”

A baseline bias to low inflation is a deliberate policy goal of the Fed (and basically every central bank, its not something unique about the Fed); that doesn’t mean every instance of actual inflation is accurately solely attributable to monetary policy as the cause. There are some inflation spikes that are due to factors like exogenous supply issues, there are others that are due to monetary policy miscalibration. The latter are more easily resolved, as demonstrated by the intense–but brief–post-COVID-recession inflation spike. (Which was, while there were other factors which contributed to it, largely caused by the failure to sufficiently-quickly dial back monetary stimulus in the rebound from the brief-but-sharp COVID recession.)
In the same boat. I've been off it for months now and it's been the worst time I've had in a while. I lost my job pretty quickly and just can't keep track of time all day.

It's so tough to stay on top of making the phone calls every 30 days to fill it, and now figuring out what meds are actually available and what would work for me that I've pretty much given up at this point.

Besides the reasons others have already mentioned: you quickly train yourself not to pay attention to anyone trying to attract it in public, especially on the metro. Otherwise you're inviting inconvenience as they try to follow up and you (if you're nice) try to disengage politely, if not inviting actual trouble or harassment. This is not a good environment for paying attention to art, recognizing celebrities out of context, human connection in general, etc.

Anyway, my personal reaction to a good busker is "well, they're still making noise in public, but at least they don't suck".
Person first, condition second. We are not our afflictions. I’m with you on this one.
That is wonderful for your friends, but I don't know what they have to do with this individual you have never met. My uncle has lived with MS for almost 50 years and is in the final stages of life unfortunately, which I guess gives me the same level of credibility. I would not advise a stranger on the internet to inject themselves with something based on one study done on mice.

I'm also not going to tell them what to do with their own body. But "run it by your doctor first" seems like a reasonable thing to suggest, even if they ultimately decide to do it anyway.
yup, philosophy for life:

Failure is acceptable and if you learn from it even encouraged

There is no point stressing about things you have no control over

You can only do what you can only do, if you can't do it then find someone that can.
Agreed. There are so many incredible artists out there, so much great music written and performed that it seems unfair to expect a random person rushing to get to work to drop everything they're doing to pay attention to almost anything these days, especially if it's not art they care much for.
In Australia businesses like supermarkets, banks, the largest airline etc. have just announced huge profits in their latest reports.

I think the report definitely could have been better written, because a lot of the inflation is more due to passing on external cost increases, or domestic businesses raising their prices to account for inflation, and all keeping the same margins, hence resulting in larger profits in nominal terms. So I think it would have been more accurate if they’d put it that way.

The important thing is that it’s not demand driven - the RBA talks every update how scared they are and how important it is for them to avoid a “wage-price spiral”, which is nonsense. Median wages here have barely kept up with inflation for 10 years, and now they have gone strongly backwards. Absolutely no sign of any kind of spiral…

It is not the problem of the justice system that your employer has decided to put Joe in a different state.

I’m on book three and this is incredibly useful. The level of detail in the books is insane. I also reallllly liked the Russell Crowe movie, and wish they had made more. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun as hell, and the napoleonic wars provide so much material for sequels.
Let's not forget that Xi just publicly purged any remaining factions in the politburo that could have opposed him. Xi has more power in China than Mao ever had. Even under Mao, it took years before opposition factions had the ability to end the cultural revolution. Xi could easily crush any opposition to his rule, and already has. There's no need for a cultural revolution or a mass assassination campaign, he's already won. There is no opposition faction of any significant size.

And Chinese society is actively being sculpted using modern propaganda techniques on social media to be hyper nationalistic and hate the US/west. This is far more powerful than what Stalin ever had at his disposal.

I sympathize as so much to say that I understand and I've been there as an H1B immigrant myself. One of my friends got personally deported for overstaying her H1B, and got a 10 year ban from entering the US.

However, there was never, ever a period of time where any of these H1B holders were ever guaranteed permanent residency in the US. Not a single time in the last 20 years. Every single one of them KNEW what they were getting themselves into, and that not only could they get laid off at any time, but the road to a Green Card was extremely, extremely long (10+ years) and hard.

I personally helped one of my best friends get his Green Card after 10+ years of waiting (he's Indian). But at no point was he under any belief he was owed anything. He hated the situation, but he knew exactly what he was up against, and the same goes for every other H1B holder.

So, it sucks, but it's part and parcel with the privilege of working in one of the best countries, in one of the best paying jobs in the world. None of these H1B holders are owed anything, and if their 60 day timer runs out, yes, they will need to leave.

And I fundamentally disagree with increasing the number of GCs for Indians. The Indian body shops have completely exploited the H1B system by inundating H1B applications, which is why it is so heavily overrun with applicants. We should not reward this bad behavior, so just let everything work itself out over time, without rewarding the bad players.

> Your products are in demand and there are buyers who are willing to pay more than the theoretical market price.

What does this even mean? How can buyers be willing to pay more than the market price and the sellers still make more money? If such a case were to occur, it wouldn't be correct to call the old price the "theoretical market price." Basically, what you're describing is literally inflation: the purchasing power of money has decreased, so people are willing to spend more of it to buy their goods. Sellers recognize that the demand curve has shifted, and raise their price accordingly.

Well, I guess as a non-US citizen I have no control or influence on US immigration policy. I think it hurts both the US as a whole as well as the individuals involved.

Cross pollination is incredibly important though. I've seen it in my personal experiences. Taking back Silicon Valley and other big company experience and operational knowledge back to their home countries and then applying it there is a massive benefit to their home countries's competitiveness.
I think you are failing to understand 2 things.

1. Users will be tricked into giving permissions to apps. There isn't a reason why apps should be able to while in the background before you've even opened them be constantly listening to your mic and then uploading the audio and your location 24/7. That's simply something that Google has chosen to not be something apps should be able to do. And that's okay. It keeps 100% of the users secured against these malicious app.

2. The users are not the only stakeholders. The app developers are too. It's Google's job to make a platform that takes in the needs of both the app developers and the users to create the platform that gives users the most value possible. This is where things like DRM come in. One could say that you are taking power away from the user my creating secure layers that can't be recorded or screenshoted, but on the other hand you are giving content owners more assurance that your platform is safe for them to distribute their content on. This is a compromise between the needs of the user and the needs of the app developer. It's about giving the users the most value possible instead of the most control possible. This is the main reason why Android is the most popular consumer oriented Linux distro. Desktop Linux distros prioritize giving users control over security and user value and it turns out that is not the way to get mass market appeal os it remains niche.

This comparison is all over the thread and it's stupid.

Camera captures things you don't want to be seen - taking a piss, flirting, having a brainfart and saying something dumb.

Sending a message is an active choice - don't send a picture of yourself pissing, flirt somewhere else, make sure it's not dumb before you click send.

You are somewhat right. Right from the earliest days, intoxicants were disallowed in any form even for lay-people taking refuge in the faith, this is in fact the fifth of the five precepts that __every__ person who's taken refuge in the faith is supposed to observe, not just monks or monastics.

Also, minor nit-pick, this was a temple and not a monastery. At the end of the day, these people are human, susceptible to temptation, and they succumbed, just as others have in any other community, faith, or tradition. It's not getting any better, now with the situation in Myanmar.

It's not 30% of people, it 35% of HOUSEHOLDS were home owners of the dwelling there were in on census night, with there being a total of 9.8 million 'households' in the country. A massive % of Australians working age population have 1 or more mortgages.

Census dwelling data does not give an accurate picture of the number of Australians with mortgages. For example on my census our household reported that we rent the dwelling that we were in, because we do. We reported nothing about the mortgage we have on an apartment in the city that we moved out of 1 year earlier. According to that data point your using my household would be seemingly unaffected after interest rate rises outside of potential rent stress.

>>I suppose what I'm saying is that while I understand the need or desire to regulate powerful drugs

I dont. We have now almost 60 years of drug prohibition, and increasing levels of criminality of abuse of drugs with nothing really to show for it except billions, or trillions in wasted resources, the millions of destroyed lives with little or no evidence that any of the criminalization has done anything to curb abuse of drugs

If nothing else is clear, one thing for sure is.. the DEA is the most ineffective federal agency ever created bar none.

It absolutely has, and likely has increased overdose's and death at the same time.

The Toronto Transit Commission operates a permit system for subway musicians (1) too. There are designated busking areas that are marked off with a dotted line.

I think the permit system helps cut down on “nuisance” musicians that are offensive or just plain bad.

It also saves on busking drama about turf wars on prime locations.

The latter. Just Ctrl + F type "behaved" and you'll see. The whole exchange is quite an interesting read. (And that conversation took place in 2011, btw.)
True, that was a big part of the problem.

This is one of these “Doesn’t anybody see this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here” moments - dropping the interest rates didn’t do why we wanted (just pumps up property and equity prices with cheap money but doesn’t actually stimulate the economy), even some countries set them negative which didn’t work either, and raising interest rates has never been really shown to reduce inflation (just that you can raise them high enough to cause a crisis, which causes far more problems, and then hopefully by the time the recovery starts inflation contributors have abated…)

Their whole monetary policy seems to be bunk.
Just SWAP is inflexible, especially with the way Linux usually handles buffer/pagecache, memory allocation,and countless other things, if not explicitly configured otherwise. You'd probably get the most out of it if you'd use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram setup to use that VRAM instead.

Except if it has a very weak CPU which struggles with the load caused by compression, or power constraints, because mobile? But even then the compression is configurable.

I once used something similar on an old Thinkpad 60p with an ATI FireGL which had some 32bit Intel Centrino, and had only 3.25GB usable RAM from the 4GB. The FireGL had 256MB of which I only needed 2, and let it have 6, just to be on the safe side. The other 250MB I gave to compcache pointed to the device created by some (experimental?) blockdriver I can't remember anymore.

This wasn't automatic, didn't work on the first tries, and produced crashes.
But was worth it once I had it right(¹), because that feeble thing ran much later into its limits. Noticeably. Not by some meaningless benchmarks.

It also ran Google Earth! Didn't really matter, on that GPU it probably did everything in software, and not something which the FireGL could deliver, or at least not at the times, with what MESA, XORG, DRI could do then with that card.

The company isn’t going to spend the time walking someone through the hiring process if they don’t have any intention of hiring someone.

Oh, the logical fallacy of appealing to logic.

I have personally seen companies post, interview, with no intention of hiring. No guff!

Case 1:

* "Just in case" they get a contract to provide thing X, they "want to be ready" to go.

Case 2:

* Forced to look at internal staff first, knowing full well they would not hire external, but going through the motions for appearance sake

Beyond the above two, I have heard:

* A government department interviewing, offering, and then the union hears of it, and challenges the new hire

* A company interviewing a dozen people, ready to hire, and a stakeholder suddenly thinking "let's contract this out instead"

* A company doing 3rd round, time consuming (for them and the candidates) interviews, after an offer, while waiting for the response. And I mean, scheduling and doing, not "already scheduled and doing".

They are owed common decency. They are owed a responsive government that gives them the ability to plan their lives.

Sure, if you don't meet the standards or if you run into an agent that decides to throw the book at you. I always bring my physical diplomas which are large since they are framed. Usually, most agents accept my scanned copy as the frame is annoying to put on their scanner. Some say my scanned copy is not good enough. More importantly, there is nothing that prevents you from retrying later that day when the agents have changed shifts. I would wait a day and then just explain you were missing a vital piece of documentation which you left at home.

> In Australia businesses like supermarkets, banks, the largest airline etc. have just announced huge profits in their latest reports.

As someone who isn't from Australia, can you provide some actual figures, preferably with historical comparison? Without specifics "record profits" doesn't mean much. The most banal interpretation is that profits in nominal dollars went up, which is totally expected given that the economy grows and there's inflation, making it almost guaranteed that each year has "record profits" even if all else was equal.
