>But online, that firewall came down, and it got worse. They had funnels to sell you the products they reviewed and they had cookies and they got money for sales.

I don't really care if they have affiliate links to sell products, they include links for multiple sellers and I see no sign that they are steering people to the most expensive product since most times their top rated product is not the most expensive one.

> They would buy cars themselves, then review them instead of getting a "perfect" car loaned and managed by the company that created it.

That's a very expensive way to do reviews, and apparently digital subscriptions don't pay all the bills and affiliate links help close the gap.

Why do you say that? They have no advertising (unless you call the affiliate purchase links "advertising", but their relationship with Amazon isn't going to make them recommend Ford over Chevy.

Part of the sale value of a car incorporates its resalabilty.
1.5C is actually a pretty conservative estimate, and there are suggestions that we have breached well beyond that point already.

Many climate scientists sounding the alarm get attacked and silenced (and activists get killed!), so there's reason to believe that things are actually much worse than the media lets on.
This was much more of a problem early on though, and while it’s still possible to encounter it’s relatively infrequent and can usually be avoided.

I think something missed in this discussion is the fact that an EV is so much simpler than an ICE vehicle* that costs will inevitably come down.

Many people believe that decent models will be considerably cheaper than today’s Tercels, Civics, Corollas, etc. in as little as 2-3 years.

Today you can buy a brand new Tesla Model 3 for $39,000 and with the U.S. tax credits that drops to $31,500. If you are in states like NY with additional credits, $26,500.

So it is already around the price levels of Accords, Camrys, etc. on the existing Tesla platform.

Tesla’s goal in their next platform is to cut the price to manufacture in HALF, and there is good reason to believe they will achieve that. The aspirational goals Toyota is claiming in this article, if achieved, will help them get closer to Tesla’s current architecture, which will be a great step forward.

As manufacturing becomes more efficient and prices drop, it will indeed make less and less sense to do major repairs, which are only getting more expensive.

* EVs are simpler when they have a proper hardware/software integration and over-the-air updates. Continuing the current industry practice of stringing together 150 off-the-shelf ECUs is one reason why most companies are losing money on their EVs and will never keep up with those who understand the software-defined car.

Oh for sure. Of the OG id guys, John Carmack seems to usually be a bit more on the humble side about it, but they definitely know how influential their stuff has been.

If I remember correctly, making Quake 3 multiplayer _only_ (not counting the bot matches, which was a cool thing to have built in) was a push from John Carmack. Which I think also really accelerated e-sports as a thing.

They are bluffing, they didn't when taxes were higher. Where would they go?
A flat tax on... what? Income? What is income? Capital gains? Realised or unrealised capital gains? Also, what are "rich people"? Is it the "millionaires and billionaires" Bernie Sanders used to talk about before he became a millionaire himself or only the "billionaires" he now speaks about? Not to single out Sanders the question is an important one since one man's "rich man" is another man's servant. To the homeless bum on the street you will be "rich", to you Sanders is "rich", to Sanders Musk is ¨rich". Who gets to pay?

Flat taxes sound great in theory but they end up having a far larger impact on those for whom the tax directly cuts into their ability to pay for basic necessities. Will there be an minimum guaranteed spendable income limit below which the tax will not be taken?

The most fascinating thing about the “takedown of Airbnb” is how disconnected this narrative is from reality.

This one article is mostly about NYC (and forward looking) but it’s part of a larger tapestry of “Airbnb is dead”, “nobody uses Airbnb anymore” articles and social content (particularly on TikTok) that might lead you to think Airbnb and its hosts are in freefall.

The problem is that the reality looks to be totally different. Airbnb keeps putting up record quarters, and while the economics are changing for hosts (many markets are definitely becoming saturated) the platform and the model appear to not have actually lost much if any strength over the 12-18 months that this has been a popular narrative.

That feedback cycle from the healthkit and mapping it to sounds is brilliant.

> That’s more than cooking the economy , that is literally killing the American dream.

People past the 10 million $ mark have already succeeded at the American Dream - even at measly 1% return rates, they and their offspring don't have to work a single day in their lives again. They can be taxed without the economy even breaking into a sweat.

Personally, I think there should be a hard wealth cap at some point between 100M to 1 billion dollars. "Trickle down" has been proven to be outright bullshit, and the uber rich have political power similar to landed gentry, in some cases nearly as much as kings back in the days. It's enough.

Not everyone wants to constantly earn more money. Especially when the government will steal a portion of it for themselves. If the work to benefit ratio is not good people are not going to bother earning more. If society only pays 10% more for 100% more effort people are not incentivized to do it.
> I expect the Fed will drop the interest rate and/or will re-start QE somewhere in the next year, so expect new waves of inflation similar to 70s

Side note, this has been Silicon Valley's take for a decade. It's wrong. It results from a series of fundamental misunderstanding that caught start-ups, VCs and even Silicon Valley Bank flat footed by the Fed's rate rises occurring and persisting.

The TJCA increased our deficit by 1.2% of GDP and the economy grew by 0.7 to 3.5% in the two years from when it passed to COVID making measurements meaningless.

Assuming the upper end of that and half the usual 2% YoY growth we paid 1.2% of our GDP for a 1% increase in growth... So literally nothing as reducing taxes causing an increase of the same amount in GDP isn't meaningful. And that is assuming some generous conditions.

I get wanting to have a sustainable business and that subscriptions are the future but that seems a bit off considering the lack of online component. Unless I am missing something?
It’s about the incentives and marginal change. Sure, you’d go for earning more, but now you’re less incentivized to do so. It might not matter to you, but it matters to the people at the margins — the people who are just on the edge of being willing to make an upward move but will decline to do so if their potential gross is lower than it otherwise could’ve been.

That's not why it's not done. listToMaybe already exists[1] and you can't change the type of head without breaking everyone's code, so head in the next version of base will come with a warning[2] and that's about as much as you can do whilst still maintaining backwards compatibility.

This is essentially how a bank works, so I'm not sure how stupid it actually is.

Or cutting spending. Either way, fiscal policy creates and destroys money much more powerfully and equitably.

I (UK) contribute the majority of my salary to my pension; as much as it makes sense to do. As far as the taxman is concerned it’s not income and so I drop down tax bands. My take-home is less, but my overall wealth is higher.

It’s true that I may never see that pension, but money given to the taxman is money I’ll never see again anyway.

If money isn’t debt it would be for example gold. So a person could hold all the gold in the world and in this sense also the power over money. Now money is there for the transfer between values so it represents the economics
It’s not about current millionaires it’s about people who, due to higher taxes, may never be able to accumulate that level of wealth due to starting with little before the taxes are changed.

Abolishing capitalism does NOT mean abolishing private property!!!

Private property existed for thousand of years before capitalism, just as trade and an economy!!!

Capitalism is only the belief (or supposed belief) that if everyone does everything he can to earn as much as possible, things will go in the best possible way!!

If you take out capitalism you get simply an economy with less absurd axioms, NOT COMMUNISM!!!

I assume there is no double slit diffraction pattern until it is observed, and when that observation occurs - the universe has no information on which slit the photon or electron went through - it was not observed - it went through neither/both.

My use of programming terms to describe this is both a nod to 'gosh this game engine has great memory management and algorithmic efficiency' but also me thinking about the relationship between the fundamentals of programming and the fundamental nature of information.

When programming we understand that time is simply a matter of cycles of information processing, and that space in a rendered 3d game is not real, but a representation of relationships between data structures,
and it's interesting to think about what computers - machines built in this universe from the stuff of this universe - are revealing about the nature of this universe.

I know that it is easy to mock computer metaphors as the next iteration of the universe is a clockwork,
but the people who thought the universe was a clockwork were not wrong, they were taking a small step forward. They had a new metaphor which gave them additional insight that they had not had before - a model built in this universe from the stuff of this universe that shed new light on the nature of the stuff of the universe. This is what a computer is, it is an object built of the stuff of this universe that has given us new insight in the nature of the stuff of this universe.
>> Deficit aside, how does a nation "borrow" money and must therefore pay interest on it, which rich trillionaires are financing the U.S?.

One large creditor is the Social Security Administration. They have invested trillions in treasury bonds. Sometimes when you hear SS is hav8ng a crisis its really just them needing to pull money out of that investment and people in congress being unhappy they have to pay back money borrowed by previous congress people. Fortunately even some high level folks from the federal reserve have educated them that it is in fact real debt and not some type of funny money they can just ignore.
Don't forget that John Carmack is arguably a programming genius, 3-4 standard deviations above average. Most of us can't maintain the same amount/depth of mental maps as he can, so we need tools to help us

A better measure of debt is to compare it with GDP (intuitively makes sense given GDP normalizes for size of economy). By that measure, Japan is in way worse shape at 294%: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/government-debt-to...

Someone like Peterson, as quoted in the article, has been saying the same thing since the 80’s, warning people of impending doom. In 2004: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/running-on-empty-how-the-democ...

And before that in 1993: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/facing-up_peter-g-peterson/126...

From the article:
“As we have seen with recent growth in inflation and interest rates, the cost of debt can mount suddenly and rapidly,” Michael A. Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, said in a statement.

“With more than $10 trillion of interest costs over the next decade, this compounding fiscal cycle will only continue to do damage to our kids and grandkids.”

While now might be different, the economy has been in good shape in aggregate over the last 30 years, with debt scolds sounding the alarm all throughout.
Yes, many analysts have expected this to happen this year, but they underestimated stimulating effect of the COVID stimulus checks and the huge deficit spending by the government (e.g. Inflation Reduction Act, lol).

To be fair, the banking system has started breaking, but, instead of lowering the rate, the Fed has temporarily masked it by the BTFP. When the program will end, banks will end up with huge holes in their balance sheets (discounted paper + accumulated interest on BTFP funds). So we either end up with a huge banking crisis, or the Fed will prolong the program, thus effectively making it a form of QE.
It probably is currently. But it’s also a bad idea to entertain the alternative which is generational wealth is the only substantial wealth that is attainable.

Not easy for you! Setting up payment, means handling personal info (payment methods at least), possibly hooking into 3rd party payment providers, complying with legal requirements, etc.

Maybe you can keep this part really simple (like users pre-pay by bank transfer, you send login info through email). But don't underestimate! The internet is riddled with ads because making small payments easily is.. difficult.
If you are going to aggregate all the tax cuts going back to 2000, you could also aggregate all the spending increases. I don’t think either is a reasonable thing to do.

The OP article includes this paragraph:

“Getting the debt under control will require taking a serious look at health care, Social Security and the tax code,” CRFB president Maya MacGuineas said in a news release.

which mentions taxes.

I don’t see what the big problem is with specifically mentioning the ARPA given how absolutely enormous it was. My objection wouldn’t have been not mentioning specific tax cuts, but instead not mentioning CARES which was even larger at $2.2 trillion.
Sure, that's fine though.

Being less motivated to push for higher income is a far cry from deciding you don't want it and would rather have a lower income.

Also I haven't seen any plans that would remove particularly much motivation below a million dollars, and by the time you're making a million dollars I wouldn't say there needs to be motivation to go for more.
It’s not just income tax. You lose certain allowances when your salary exceeds a certain level, such as childcare. There definitely are scenarios when a pay rise can actually make you poorer.
