>> you'd come up with some passable explanation ahead of time

Central bankers are appointed based on two criteria:

1. A willingness to print money for the government so it can spend more than it raises in taxes.

2. Looking presentable, sounding sophisticated and emitting enough bafflegab that (1) seems scientific instead of ideological.

Thinking deeply about economics and the role of banking/central banks in society is an anti criteria, because if you did think about those things you'd end up concluding that the only fair and stable solution is way less money printing and quite possibly none. That would directly undermine the government that appoints you. Your salary depends on you not understanding your own area of specialism.

I do feel like the defining characteristic of the 2020s is turning out to be people's struggle to accept the horrible truth that government officials/scientists who claim to be experts systematically have no idea what they are doing.
Probably worse ways to go I guess?

Except even in Switzerland there are topics we cannot actually push through with an initiative.

We had a vote in 2014 about a very specific way to restrict immigration into Switzerland, it was voted through, but Federal Government wasn't willing to nuke our economic relations with Europe so now if you are advertising for a job in Switzerland you first have to make sure Swiss people don't fulfil your criteria before you hire a foreign person(i.e that is the result of an initiative whose aim was to restrict asylum and Shengen agreement movement).

Banking used to be very heavily regulated.

With good reason.

During the early 80s (neoliberalism, Reagan, Thatcher, Kohl, etc.) regulations were relaxed and banking deregulated. The first big bank crisis + bailout (Savings and Loan crisis) followed a year later.

Banking is not a regular industry, for a bunch of reasons.

I had no idea that Token Ring was inefficient with power, but it certainly had a bunch of other problems. Biggest (at least on PCs) was its inability to recover from a cable being unplugged without resetting a bunch of the system, and the type-1 token ring cables win the award for being the most needlessly bulky,[1] even if the connectors had a plug-into-each-other party trick.

They send another truck because of the first one didn’t make it in time the concrete company is going to have a fun day cleaning stuck concrete out of their truck.

My father-in-law was in commercial construction for decades, now turned general contracting post 2008 recession, and he has binder and binders of contractor business cards, including a concrete section. I can assure you project managers would be frantically calling all concrete companies trying to find a replacement. And they will.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be a great idea - a verifiable record that some digital artifacts have existed at certain times. Of course it wouldn't be able to "prove ownership" or "prove being original" or other stupid ideas tokenbros throw around, that's impossible. But it wouldn't be profitable for the tokenbros and actually all the distributed attribute is not a requirement. We can probably set up a centralised append only DB which will periodically publish it's own hashes to attest that it wasn't tampered. Probably a useful tool for our deep fake future, the only question is how to scale it, who can be trusted and relied upon to input hashes in the system.
What can the 'Fed' (reserve) do to fix the supply side? That requires good legislation and follow through on civic planning. We can't even get DST or NO-DST to pass even though stopping the time shift ride somewhere, for some even anywhere, seems like a no-brainer piece of legislation.

>I think he means Telegram already has his contacts since he uses it to communicate with them.

I am confused over the statement that local backups are not being done due to privacy concerns, while Telegram, which is not a end-to-end encrypted service, is. These two facts stand at odds with each other.

If your immediate local surroundings are not safe enough for encrypted backups of your own data, then remote environments which you have no control over are not going to be any more secure or safe.
WX/Climate is one of many variables in the human experience. A big one though.

I’ve spent a lot of time reading up on 1550-1650 lately and I am struck but how much worse everything became during a sustained cooling period. You can’t pin the 30 Years War solely of climate. You can say mass starvation due to repeated crop failures didn’t make it better.
>Of course the flaw in this story is that the interest rate risk should have been hedged, and it wasn’t.

Oh, so the thing that could have prevented the bank from failing (but, unsurprisingly, costs them money to do), didn't happen? But it's the governments fault?
A woodworker will also just try stuff. They will also first lay out some specs and then start out to fill those specs. One step a time.

While not TDD by the letter, many crafts work more or less agile, and more or less incremental.

An example: I'm currently cutting down some 15 trees (Elms, died of Elm Blight). While it's impossible to cut down a single tree using TDD, I do cut them down incrementally, agile and in small steps: start out with the smallest tree (that stands alone) see how it reacts. Don't plan too far ahead, but plan a little - escape route, sharpen the chains etc. TDD wise: delivery criteria is "wood on a safe, manageable pile".

(I halted the moment a funny little owl peeked out of one of the trees, annoyed. Apparently it was building a nest and I'm too late in the season. Also agile)

Hey Bard, ever heard of Descartes?
I never understood unions, since all they seem to care is to force companies to keep people employed no matter what, even when they're not needed anymore.

Speaking of the US, the unionised work there is terrible: at 4PM they would drop everything and come back the next day. No overtime, no nothing. You can't do a rush job or anything, they worked at their own pace and they didn't care about our deadlines and stuff. Its like dealing with government employees.

On the other hand, working with non-union people was great. They would put in the hours with no fuss, and obviously get paid for overtime and stuff. But you could actually get them to work as much as possible in a day.

I understand your point, and your first sentence is the point I (and probably others) are making too: they either take on less long term assets, or bar that, have to hedge them properly (which is equivalent to taking less assets). The hedge was meant to be done at the same time of taking such a massive risk.

I did not, but now that I know more about project management — PMP® specifically — I can probably answer that for you.

Risk management. Which in the real world actually means something, unlike those horribly pointless risk workshops your PM makes you turn up to.

The work package that contained the concrete truck would have assigned to it a risk. These risks have been carefully thought out ahead of time. I dare say in the building industry they re-use them. What an idea! Learning from your past. Anyway.

So the risk here is that ‘the truck gets stuck in an accident’, and that risk has a rating. An amount of money is assigned as a reserve to this risk in the event that it happens. This money is part of the project’s budget but ideally you never spend it. But it’s there.

So if the bad thing happens — freeway accident — the PM pulls out their risk register, looks it up, calls the boss, says “hey that risk eventuated, we need to use that reserve”, the funds are released, and the risk mitigation is initiated.
Maybe the point of the book is the opposite, people have ignored environmental impacts on history for a long time, here are some examples. As you say, it is just one part of the puzzle, then why make a point of being wary of the part of the puzzle that was already ignored. It seems that people for a long time were so wary of it that it was unknown, no need to be even more wary.

Yes, farms need market access. But that market does not have to be a sprawling suburb, it can be a decently dense town or city. Also, market access is relative depending on product. Farmers concentrating on crops like wheat and corn don't care about the distance to cities, as their product is traded globally. For fresh produce, distance is a real concern, but on the other hand you don't need a lot of land to fulfill the need of even large cities. You could conceivably provide most fresh produce from inside city limits if urban planning would see this as necessary. Production/acre for something like tomatoes is really huge, depending on the methods used.
Rust seems like a good middle ground.

The M2 money supply in Turkish liras is climbing,
but not in the same proportion as the rate cuts and inflation

Not? It looks like the money supply doubled over the last 12 months.

Does it really need an expert on Turkey's economy to see a relation between the doubling of an asset and the asset being worth half as much afterwards?
I therefore propose "hostage capitalism". What do you think? Maybe "captured capitalism"?

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/978/ (From 2011, I think.)
Most generations haven't grown up with the constant message of "all scientists agree that we are completely and utterly fucked" hanging over them, with constant messaging from the UN that we're blowing last point of no return after point of no return.

I'm not trying to minimise the Cold War, it must've been terrifying. But it was always, "we'll be completely fucked if the war turns hot".

But hey, maybe there's great studies which prove that the impending doom doesn't negatively impact people's emotional state. That would be nice. I'm just saying the article needs something more than a South Park reference to back that up.

I think when you say 'paid' you mean the literal transaction value + liabilities, whereas when Levine says it he means net of liabilities but also assets.

Which is a bit different from not thinking about the liabilities at all (the classic layman response to a company bought out of administration for £1) in that it massively affects the scale - while it's not £1 it's still 'nothing', it's a rounding error on the liabilities, I don't have it hand to quote but there was something about 'as you can tell from the fact they tripled (? whatever it was) shareholder payout in a matter of hours'.
The fact that it allowed for all kinds of topologies, and that it served as a bus (shared medium, hence the name 'Ether') rather than a point-to-point link is what I think made the biggest difference.

Of course now that we all use switched links they are point-to-point again but an ethernet 'hub' gave you the same effect as a bus with all devices seeing all of the traffic. This made efficient broadcast protocols possible and also allowed for a historical - but interesting - trick: the screw-on taps that you could place on a single coaxial cable running down a department giving instant access without pulling another cable. Zero network configuration required, just get the tap in place and assign a new address. DHCP later took care of that need as well.

This was fraught with problems, for instance a single transceiver going haywire could make a whole segment unusable and good luck finding the culprit. But compared to the competition it absolutely rocked.
I don't see how that is relevant. Whether it's accurate or not doesn't matter for it be something of value.
And we're back! Might be little slow while traffic is high but responses are coming through.

It is not always easy to tell the difference between advertising and someone talking about something they like and use.

Obviously Apple has a huge amount of control over third party software. But that's not the point: even if they had no control, the product isn't ready.
Hey this is really cool. Thanks for building it.
The characterization might be incomplete, but it's wrong to say it's wrong.

The key being, SVB, etc are symptoms. And while we should certain chat about it the focus should be on The Fed. Again. Just like it played a key role circa 2007/2008.

Given The Fed's mandate, how is it once again missing the mark? And where has Congress been? They're mandated with overseeing The Fed, yes?

Yet we're led to believe this is a banking problem? With little of no legitimate dicussion of foundational problems?

This. The vast majority of politicians will just repeat their talking points, which were honed by the party or countless stump speeches. There are only a few who are quick witted enough to deviate from that. And very few (most often when they are not important yet) to engage in wonky policy discussions. And conceding a point never happens.

Oh crumbs, you're going to get wildly different understandings depending on what camp the books come from. Personally, I'm of the view that the most coherent understanding comes from the MMT crowd, but much of that is quite subtle and open to deep misinterpretation (and regularly is). Warren Moslers' writings are excellent, but make you think https://moslereconomics.com/mandatory-readings/. Neil Wilson writes in a very accessible way and has bite size articles that cover many things you're talking about: https://new-wayland.com/blog/ (IMO, that blog is full of gold).

This is why I believe these bots should never be taken too seriously, at least until there is a lot more transparency around their sources of information. Until there are bots which are trained on highly verifiable sources of information that's open sourced.

I don't think it's wise to just "trust a doctor" but can you imagine the influence of such a system. Imagine if the wrong person becomes the CEO of OpenAI and people are using it for medical advice, all of a sudden it starts recommending people take opiate based medication for many, many ailments? We have this with doctors today, who would be exposed to a lot more accountability than a mega-corp with access to massive legal teams / robots.

I see this as actually being a real existential risk to large swathes of the populace.

I hate to say it, but I'd already be taking every single thing returned with a grain of salt, and probably doing that forever.

If you bought treasuries at the prevailing rate and swapped them at the same rate then the market price of the swap will be zero. You'll still have to pay credit and funding premia though. If, however, you only hedge once the prevailing rate moves against you, you'll pay a market premium in the form of a spread.

Legally the 'bank' means you have a banking licence. That is all.

This licence allows you to create money. This is a huge superpower, but there are terms and conditions attached to make sure it doesn't break the whole economy.

> Really? The graphs I have seen show cases declining even before lockdowns were imposed.

Likely because people were voluntarily locking down.

Unless you deal with schools, there are no "bubbles" or not ones that really work. Do you send teachers into schools who are in the vulnerable group? Or do you close the schools? If you close the schools you may as well do a full lockdown because so many people will have to be at home to look after their children.

The idea you can lockdown half the population by age just doesn't work because society doesn't separate itself out neatly by age.
