The ability to create extreme wealth in a democratic capitalist society is an indicator of the economic freedom.

It is the wealth that gives us the freedom to invest in new knowledge creation to solve problems.

The more wealth the more opportunities, especially when they are in the hands of someone who have proven again and again their ability to create value to society. Elon Musk is of course the obvious example but not the only one, Jeff Bezos, Larry and Sergey and we could go on. These people are excellent capital allocators.

The alternative to extreme wealth is extreme poverty and

Almost no one in western society gets to keep their wealth for more than 3 generations because other have the freedom to outcompete them. Everyone over time gets richer.

The alternative to that is dictatorships where there is no economic freedom, capitalist ownership and the way to make money is governed by the ruler.

Anyone making a case against extreme wealth in a society that is fairly free is spreading extremely bad ideas that if they become popular leads to revolutions.

In modern society the issue is not big corporations or extreme wealth, it's institutional capture by politicians and that entire system.

Like the power of JD Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, which was much greater than any rich man today.... oh wait.. those went defunct too.

Honestly, the fact that their heirs, despite having untold wealth were unable to keep the business going actually shows that individuals sometimes do have merits on their own, independent of the amount of money they were able to collect.

> You have a lot of faith, it seems, in the ability of the already rich to somehow make better decisions (by some metric) than an arbitrary political process

A key advantage of leaving it to the rich is that when rich people fail, they tend to end up losing their wealth and power, hurting mostly themselves — while even a political process that isn’t being corrupted or gamed by someone powerful is badly incentivized to throw buckets and buckets of good money after bad, hurting lots of people.

Your assertion is that it's dumb to compare two competing financial systems?

The dumb analysis is to talk about Bitcoin energy usage in isolation, without comparing it to the present system. The present system would not work without police officers and military. Bitcoin replaces these things with servers and decentralization.

There is no military protecting the internet. You would need to bomb every country in the world to destroy the internet. The same is true for Bitcoin.

US military is 100% necessary for the dollar-based world order. The fact they do other things is not important. You still need the full US military to protect the dollar, even if they didn't do other things.

There is an ongoing discussion about adding NAT64 support: https://github.com/AndrewGuenther/fck-nat/issues/41
I want to start by saying that I'm not defending Spotify's position, but rather trying to explain it.

The problem with a music-only Spotify subscription is that it's a pretty undifferentiated product with little control over the forces around it. Anyone else can sell what they're selling: Apple, Google, Amazon, Tidal.

Spotify is a tiny company compared to most of those and doesn't control any of the platforms it uses: iPhone, Android, Alexa. While Europe's Digital Markets Act might make it harder for a company to kick Spotify off their platform, that's hardly worldwide. While the DMA might mean in-app payments with lower fees, it's looking like platforms will still be getting something.

Spotify doesn't own the music content that it's streaming. It's getting that from labels and artists.

Not to denigrate Spotify's software or user experience too much, but to an extent they're just a middleman between you and the music you want to hear. I'm sure people will reply about how they prefer the Spotify experience to other services and I don't want to dismiss that, but it's certainly less differentiated when everyone has the same content.

Now with non-music content, Spotify has differentiation. Even if the deal isn't 100% exclusive (since video is going on YouTube), it might still lock out Apple and Amazon. It might also restrict the ability for Google/YouTube to use it in a non-video format. Now there's more differentiation. There's stuff you can (mostly) only get from Spotify.

Even if platforms aren't doing dirty things to harm Spotify, there is often value in being the default in an ecosystem. If you don't have a streaming service, Alexa devices will suggest Amazon Music and you can sign up with no friction at all. That's different from signing up for Spotify and then linking it to my Alexa account. Apple Music is installed by default on iPhones. Spotify has a significant first-mover advantage, but companies that control important platforms and have deep pockets are coming after them. Offering something you can't get from the competition gives Spotify a way to keep subscribers and gain new subscribers instead of being an undifferentiated middleman between you and your music.

Is There a Simpson's Paradox Lurking in the Wage Growth Data?
I've wondered this early in my adult life because I was unfortunate enough to come into contact with some predatory personalities early in my business career. It bothered me a lot because I was raised to be "good" by good people.

However over the years, I did find good people who made it. In my experience, you can be a good decent person and become wealthy and successful, but even more importantly, when you adopt this style, you make friends along the way.

The people that I know that have been predatory yet successful have found themselves alone at the top. As you get older, you realize that all the money in the world isn't worth sacrificing good relationships with good people.

In many ways, one is heaven and the other hell.

Secure Time Synchronization on macOS
Goff on the Cost Disease
The why requires a few steps.

Money is just another technology. As a technology it has existed in various forms over thousands of years.

Technologies see continual innovation and change, with various actors and various motives influencing their use, function, reach.

Governments of various forms are our current best method- govern-ance- for managing human-scale assets, resources, and technologies with collective purpose and implication.

Moneys- currencies- as a technology are one of those human assets owned and managed by governments, like land, and other resources. There are over 200 distinct currencies in the world.

The mechanism for this management is based on the notion of a ledger- the record of balances, of debts, of interest, and the creation- inflation- of money supply in the context of that management.

Most governments are poor at this management when measured by how well their implementation of this technology that is money serves the needs of most of their populations.

Governments themselves- both "democratic" and non- in their current form are fragile and vulnerable, with the powers of governments utilized against portions of theirs and other populations.

BTC is a technology, a cryptographically-secured system of record- a ledger- that can be used as a money. It is not under the control of an existing government.

By collective agreement of its participants, a complex balance of users playing different roles with different incentives and risks, the rate of creation of assets recorded there is managed to a low level of inflation. As such, as a technology utilized for money, it is a stable "store of value" in contrast to the moneys supplied by literally every government.

The ledger, the system of record can be preserved- secured- if and only if it is too expensive for attackers to change it. The turning of energy into hash minting is the security for that system of record.

That's it.

Adopting a mindset where the above argument takes hold involves a kind of leap of faith. It is a belief. Sure, a religion. The game theory/mechanism design behind BTC is a true innovation, the first demonstrated solution to the Byzantine Generals problem.

There is an argument- won't people stop believing in it?

Maybe? I would suggest evaluating that argument against the lifespans of other innovative beliefs.

Is it something that comes and goes, or is it like the eye, an invention of evolution that solves a specific problem and appears distinctly and repeatedly in different organisms once they hit certain levels of complexity.

Cheers.

Personally I find private land ownership a kind of ridiculous concept. Our current system provides the convenient and necessary fiction of land ownership but ultimately to the extent there is an owner, it is always the state.
1. I’m lazy. I have hundreds of albums saved to my library and I can’t face recreating that.

2. I collaborate on a small number of shared playlists with others who I won’t persuade to move.

Nonetheless I agree with you, I probably should. Until the next platform I choose pulls the same shit and I’m back to square one.

At this point I’m more likely to revert to buying/pirating music and self-hosting than give any more energy to another streaming service.

And using immigration to fix the population pyramid in the USA would probably not work due to housing and politics?

New Zealand fixes its birth rate imbalance somewhat by immigration. About 30% of our population was born in another country (i.e our population is 50% higher than it would be without immigrants).

Note that NZ is managing to make more houses "Auckland increased housing supply by 4% from 2016 to 2021"[1]. Interestingly increases in house supply don't decrease prices (presumably house demand is still outstripping house supply in New Zealand, unlike some other aging population countries with declining house prices in locations). Auckland is highly unaffordable (about as relatively unaffordable as San Francisco: wages to prices).

Immigration drives house prices up, simplistically +10% immigrants doubles or triples house prices: "We suspect these two features largely underpin Coleman and Landon-Lane's (2007) and McDonald's (2013)| macro estimates that a 1 percent population increase from migration is associated with about a 10 percent increase in house prices nationally"[2].

Using IPv6 also comes along with many other complexities. If you already have a working IPv4 solution, working around costly public IPv4 addresses is likely much easier than trying to switch to IPv6 and having to adapt every part of your infrastructure to the many surprising ways it's different.
The difference is that the existing financial system is used by about 3/4 of the world population (closer to 94% in developed nations) for the exchange of actual goods and services.

Bitcoin has significantly fewer users, but more importantly it is almost never used for the actual exchange of goods or services.

With my bank (and the accompanying infrastructure that goes along with it), my employer can deposit directly into my account, which I can then use to pay rent online (as opposed to physically traveling to their office), buy groceries at the store, and purchase nearly every legal good or service that is for sale, all while reducing the odds of me being robbed or losing money (e.g. losing my wallet.) If someone or some business scams me, I'm given methods of retrieving my money without confronting them in person. It also allows me to autopay all my bills so I'm never charged for forgetting to pay (and frankly I have very little desire to write and mail several checks each month or travel to various places to pay in cash.)

Credit cards, debit cards, direct deposit and money transfers are far more convenient than using cash, and aside from convenience, I imagine they decrease a nation's carbon footprint over using exclusively cash (due to less need to mint, print and transport physical currency, as well as travel in person to pay or receive payment.)

They do come at a cost of privacy, but if I wanted privacy for a specific purchase, I can still use cash for those specific transactions. While it may have a higher carbon footprint than digital payments, overall ink and paper tend to have low carbon footprints (though it's probably a bit higher for currency than it is for standard A4 paper.) Still, it's near certainly less carbon intensive than Bitcoin (per purchase, maybe not in total since billions of people actually use paper currency to buy things at least sometimes.)

Cryptocurrencies and their accompanying anonymity can bring about good things, so I'm open to at least considering their value — there are countries with authoritarian and oppressive governments, and there have been several democracies that have fallen to dictatorship before and that very well could happen again in the future. As such, being able to anonymously transfer money does have its value, especially in a world with CCTVs and facial recognition.

Cryptocurrencies, of course, also can be used for illegal services that are near universally considered immoral and evil. Currently, in most countries (even ones that aren't exactly liberal democracies), this is likely a much larger harm.

Balancing freedom from and freedom to is always tricky: neither authoritarianism nor anarchy are appealing — allowing personal freedom while preventing people from encroaching on other people's personal freedoms is difficult to achieve.

However, even if I were fully convinced that cryptocurrencies currencies were a net positive on society (open to considering the idea but definitely not convinced yet), I struggle to see how one with such a large carbon footprint is what should be used.

He built a company employing over a million people, created novel goods and services, including services my job depends on (AWS).

The wealth of a man like Bezos isn't a pile of gold he wallows in like Scrooge McDuck, it exists in his shareholder control of a vast set of companies full of employees and doing productive work. These companies would not exist without his ability to identify new markets, build efficient companies, and raise capital and deploy it effectively.

Take away the ability to do that, and who is going to found the new companies? Who is going to fund and control them? Who is going to identify the new goods and services of the future, and make them happen?

There is an alternative, and that's run the economy as a bureaucratic extension of government. Run companies as extensions of government departments and place economic planning under political control. It's been tried over and over.

He would still be rich, but not as crazy rich. And if he did want to return money to the share holders, it would come at the cost of reducing reinvestment into the company, probably lessening their moat.

Yeah, there's likely a citizenship thing at play. I imagine the treatment for a "digital nomad" from the US is going to be pretty different than someone from the Philippines or Vietnam [1], for example. Japan (like most countries) probably doesn't care so much about re-entry of rich tourists, so long as they're not working or doing anything illegal.

Thanks a lot. And I've had some thought about making this infinite, but it's a bit harder!

The generation is inspired by what Oskar Stålberg has done for his game Townscaper. It is done with those steps:
- start with triangles (ideally in an hexagonal pattern).
- merge pairs of triangles into quads, randomly leaving some as triangles.
- we subdivide both quads and triangles, and end up with quads only.
- smooth the whole to get nicer shapes

It can be a bit abstract with just this list, so you can see some videos in my tweet: https://twitter.com/fradingue/status/1712218108826460428

Of course they don't know it. They actually believe that the state is better at managing money than the people creating products and jobs.
The Federal Reserve creates money. This is Econ 101. There is a fixed pie of money it's called the M2. Again, Econ 101.

Perhaps you meant "value"? Be careful though, if you start differentiating between money and value, you arrive at communism. This is literally the first and last chapters of Capital vol 1.

The same thing that happens when 1+1 == 3, or when a task tries to write to memory that it doesn't have permissions for. The static analysis that your system relies on for correct behavior is no longer valid, so a hardware belt-and-suspender mechanism (a schedule overrun timer interrupt, a lockstep core check failure, or an MPU fault, respectively) resets or otherwise safe-states the failed ECU and safety is assured higher up in the system analysis.
