As you say, its not a new plan.

First comes concentration and consolidation, being close to the money supply provides benefits not available to others. The bail-out game repeated every 8-10 years. Then when that can no longer be done, in the face of crisis nationalization, or inflation until the currency fails bleeding off as much personal profit as possible into other assets and suppressing those assets so you get a bargain. (Ask yourself how two-party collusive options trading in the metals market might affect the spot price, could you farm it for consistent profit while ensuring the USD remains the safer alternative if you were the size of the big 5/4?)

Unfortunately, counter-party risk is inherent in just about everything these days.

You are right to consider it risky, especially when there technically is no longer a fractional reserve.

You may want to take a look at the FDIC website for monetary policy required reserves, protip its 0% a/o 2020. The only reason everything hasn't collapsed is implementing capital reserve requirements via Basel III which counts stock market capitalization as part of the reserves (based on what I read).

As for why there aren't new banks, just look at the requirements for chartering a bank. You must accept personal liability for your decisions as a Board Member and have no financial interest in the bank to be on the board of directors. You can receive no compensation, that started after 2008. Who in their right mind aside from crooks who lie or ethical religious rural/grounded/moral/actual communities (Amish/Mennonites) would find that level of exposure acceptable? The former are so common, and the latter upstanding folk so rare...

>marriage is a great way to de-risk many aspects of your life. 2x income for only 1.3x increased expenses

Then what happens when you get married, and your spouse soon quits their job or is fired because they're a terrible employee, and you didn't see signs of this while dating? Now you have 1.3x expenses on 1x income. Worse, what if your spouse is terrible at money management? Now you have 2-3x expenses on 1-2x income.

>Support (financial/emotional) in case of illness or income loss.

What if your spouse only seemed to be emotionally supportive before you got married, but afterwards (or when you got sick) the facade was dropped? What if they drop you like a rock when you get sick?

>Marrying the right person is the key

Of course. Similarly, if someone loses the lottery, you can just tell them, "that's your own fault: you should have picked the winning ticket".
is it definitional if you include in the definition of "happy" that you feel you are well off compared to others in your society? ie: if happiness is relative then you can't be happy unless you think others are less happy. Perhaps the trick of modern society is to convince most people, as individuals, that they are better off than average - even when logically that can't be true (putting aside differences b/w means and medians etc).

Awesome. Nodb is indeed similar. What was itching me was to make an API through which I can store data. As I wanted to use it in cloud functions.
It's naïve in our system where problems are not solved as a group, but as a sum of individuals. If you don't trust someone to do something on your computer, then you also probably don't trust them to do much more outside; how can they be a part of the community if they aren't to be trusted ? We have abandoned all community-building to the state, and the state decides collective rules even though the state cannot manage a group this size with the best intents, especially considering the political-economic system we're in; it must assume everyone is problematic by default, and everyone's interest is at odds with the state interest.

Stallman talks about anarchy, a system that seems to have been in place there at the time; one of the central tenet of anarchism is conviviality and building a community together. Everyone who is part of the community is trusted. In this system, you don't need passwords.
Computer is a watched clock w/ complications. Reading a clock requires dissipation. Energy needed to do anything of interest, thats nature’s way. Lemme know if you have a better idea. There is plentiful energy, anyway, just dig deep. Thermodynamics is essentially right, tho there is some tricks, they are not really of any actual profit, due to complexity vs. gain. (For compute, maybe acceleration)
Why, I just read a book[^1] whose author gave personhood to lifted animals, and made everybody vegetarian. She also made everybody monogamous...even the moose. IMO, she could have written a better story if she hadn't been afraid of over-critical readers that would think her work is propaganda advocating for XYZ. The moose didn't need to act like a politically correct western guy. But it's fun to comment on those details, politics and all; they don't subtract from the work.

And yes, there are non-fiction books, like the Bible and "More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws", but those can also be approached with a dose of lightheartedness.

>Why would you even consider marrying someone who probably doesn't like you very much? And why would they consider marrying you?

Because many people act very different during the dating stage, and don't show their true personalities and preferences. They want to marry you because it's advantageous for them.

>Phones are in decent shape but other ARM devices aren't so lucky.

Yes, but that's because Qualcomm and Samsung are about as incompetent at CPU design as early-2010s AMD was; their products have been 3-4 years behind the leading edge for the past decade.

This might change with Qualcomm's acquisition of Nuvia, but they're still going to take a few years to be comparable with what you can get in a 400-dollar iPhone/iPad and be unavailable in the sub-1000 dollar Android market (just like the Snapdragon 888- whose performance is on par with the 2nd gen iPhone SE- is today).
Other spreadsheets solve this by updating references if you need to add more columns and rows (or at least they try). Is the additional complexity of the infinite grid something that customers actually need?

Consider this excerpt from Wikipedia's article on 'Tooth brushing':

> As an aside, to what degree does WASI exist _now_?

It's ... rough. The impression I get (as an uninvolved third-party) is that the WASI folks set out with a goal of writing a sort of capability-based POSIX that they could write a thin libc for, but partway through realized that POSIX embeds a lot of assumptions that aren't compatible with portability or capability-based security.

IMO (again, no direct involvement) a better approach would be to start with a low-level API that is capability-based from the beginning. Something like EFI, or (more experimentally) an RPC-oriented syscall API resembling Fuchsia/Plan9. Then the various sorts of magic integers and process state found in POSIX can be layered on top of that as a library.

The good news is that the people working on WASI do seem aware of what they've gotten themselves into, and I think a lot of the chaos (shifting repos, broken docs, etc) is just the natural outcome of them exploring the solution space. My expectation is that they'll be forced to drift pretty far from POSIX if they want a workable design, but maybe they'll surprise us.
You lie in “are you ok?” interactions because you are talking with someone and there’s all kinds of considerations like “don’t want to lose face” and “don’t want to bother them”. You can be as candid as you want in an anonymous survey.
The risk of marriage is what makes the commitment meaningful. Of course, you can always substitute for marriage with other forms of commitment in partnerships, marriage is just a particular choice.

In your writing, however, it rather appears to me that you do not see the value in committing to another person at all - in whatever shape or form.
In that case, I would say that the desire for marriage is likely to remain an enigma to you.

In rational terms, consider marriage (or another form of commitment) as a dynamic non cooperative game where a long term mutually beneficial equilibrium is reached.

Briefly, imagine you meet another person to whom you actually want to commit to: you derive utility from demonstrating vulnerability under risk.

This is the case, because the other person similarly commits to you. This mutual equilibrium is only possible with mutual trust. In turn, trust in the other person grows with mutual commitment. Trust is the driver of non ego behavior, shared understanding, and sensemaking. For evolutionary reasons, it also leads to a feeling of safety and reduces the impact of many day to day stressors. Of course, trust is only built up if the demonstrated commitment occurs under real risk and increases then over time, where the initial jump however determines largely the final equilibrium.

The equilibrium is high utility not only due to the feeling of safety and partnership, but also because a high trust environment removes transaction costs.

In turn, commitment is higher in value if the choice to deviate is meaningful, if the risk is real, if your money and income aren’t safe. If you jumped, and your partner equally jumped, both without knowing with certainty. Thus demonstrated commitment leads to a higher utility equilibrium as outlined above.

I hope this game theoretic analysis indicates to you some benefits of something like marriage.

Having lived both extremely independently and married, I strongly believe that my marriage equilibrium is far superior.

I also know that trying to get the same benefits without commitment, that is, without taking an inherent risk on another person, would not lead to the same outcome.
After all, without risk, its not really meaningful.

While marriage is just one form, I strongly believe to know that today’s culture of risk aversion in partnership leads to lower utility and long term happiness.

People are afraid to lose or give anything up.
In turn, they will gain less.

I acknowledge fully that I would not have understood the above before my marriage.
This is not the right analogy.

'Criminally adjacent' means literally, adjacent to organised crime.

Yep, valid point. I made it to use in cloud functions, so I can store data somewhere. I didn't want to install Redis, or MongoDB for example, as my functions' dependencies.
Yes, plenty of (bad) feedback is given in good faith, but I think there's a line where generosity ends and "feedback" becomes a hurtful one-sided channel of emotional venting. It only serves one person, at best.

Would you call it a gift if a visiting neighbour brought a smelly trash bag to your door while screaming at you for "looking like a dead squirrel"? They certainly took the time to carry that leaky bag, think of a sequence of helpful words to tell you, and even risk damaging their vocal cords! They certainly weren't obligated to do so, either. A slap in the face isn't necessarily "a generous act of ancient Egyptian medicinal practice to prevent disease".

We don't have to accept all "gifts" as gifts, so we certainly don't have to call any hurtful garbage as "feedback" in the first place. We don't have obligation to take it as a generous act, either -- wouldn't this make us feel guilty about feeling hurt?

I don't intend to be mean or snarky. Your comment made me think and come up with this sort of "insight".

You are the one who claimed every American to understand this to be a ban on books in schools. Which is complete nonsense as evidenced just by this thread.

I think there is a reason to point this out. Twisting language to drive, in this case a political point, is called propaganda. Calling it a ban implies something more severe than what is happening. Which is content regulation.
To be fair, re: first point, they could have just liked the actress. Or even had a prior contract deal. And really are you going to tell anyone today, they can't play a role because of their ethnicity, unless it is key, pivotal to that role?

The second seems more plausible as a marketing tactic.

Re: book to script, I found I go less insane, if I just think of it this way. Two people were involved in events, one wrote a book, one a script.

In as those two people would have seen different things, talked to different people, been more/less involved in events, and just interpret the world differenty, as we all do, it makes sense their output would differ.

Thusly, I remain sane. Or perhaps less insane.

>Cattle are an older species than humans.

incorrect. humans tamed the aurochs around 10,000 years ago and the most common dairy cattle breed today, the Holstein, was bred around 2,000 years ago

>Hate to break it to you, but a non-insignificant portion of store bought fish was cultivated / farmed.

you're not really breaking anything. this is a completely different sense of "farming". their genetics and physiology have not been altered to the same extent as dairy cattle, nor do we interfere with their evolution by selectively breeding. "farmed" fish are not fat and docile. so any fish you eat today is likely to be the same fish you would have eaten 300,000 years ago
I think question really is in what part of process the forfeiture happens.

In Europe it is after the judgement as part of it. So the tools used in crime might be taken away. A gun in armed robbery. Maybe getaway vehicle if it is used multiple times. Special tools used for breaking in.

You can say that the local community water well has "unlimited uses", then complain when Nestle comes over and takes all the water.

No difference here.
> It’s in the entire water supply

Not quite. In the US about 15% of the population get their drinking water from private wells. I wonder if anyone has compared groups that are similar except for whether they are on a well or municipal?

It shouldn’t be hard to find such groups by looking at the boundaries of municipal water systems. For example on my street everyone east of me is on city water and everyone else is on wells. Both groups are demographically very similar.
Well insulated and well sealed, top to bottom. I'd target PassivHaus levels or better. You need good contractors for this to happen.

Single level is good if you're thinking about growing older in the house. It's a bitch having to go up and down stairs with a bad knee or with a back you threw out last week. And that's just the beginnings of growing older.

Along those same lines, the whole house should be ADA accessible. There's nothing quite like suddenly finding yourself in a wheelchair and now you can't go to the bathroom because your wheelchair doesn't fit through the doorway.

I'd also be thinking about an on-site generator for the whole house, plus solar and battery packs. I'd over provision the solar, so that even on the coldest darkest days of winter in twenty years you would still be likely to collect enough sunlight on the panels to power the whole house. Of course, this includes heating elements to clear off snow or ice from the panels.

Many people selling solar these days are trying to get you to "net zero" or close to it, so that over a year you generate about as much power through your panels as you use from the grid, so that your electric bill should be close to zero. I'm not a fan of "net zero". I don't trust the power companies down here in Texas, and I'd like the ability to be completely and totally off their grid. Even if I am grid-connected 99%of the time, I want that ability to go completely off-grid if I need to. If we had solar panels during the Great IcePocalypse a couple of years ago, and we were on the grid, we would have been forced to shut them off when they did rolling blackouts. So, I want to be able to stay on my own micro grid, even if the main grid goes down.

I think you also want to be looking at multiple Internet providers, each of which should hopefully be at least gigabit-class and symmetric speeds. Then you want to look at what kind of failover mechanisms you should be using when your primary provider goes down. In our neighborhood, if you go two miles in any direction, you can find multiple gigabit-class providers. But inside this neighborhood, the only one is Spectrum. And they're just not reliable enough. I've checked out all the fixed wireless solutions here, and no one can give me better service than 4G/LTE. Satellite is okay as a tertiary backup, but not as a primary or secondary source.

That's broad strokes. I could point you to certain YouTube channels I watch for this kind of stuff, if you like.
