Why is it democracy? Maybe it's treating housing like an asset?

Why do people treat houses like financial instruments? I think it's a combination of the cost, dual functionality, and devaluation of money. When something costs a significant amount of your labor over your lifetime, you want to make sure it does a little more than keep you dry. If all it does is keep you dry you could live in a tent. If you're looking for a place to invest capital, and you need a place to live, why not have that serve both purposes? And finally, if you want to save your capital, sticking cash on a shoebox or a checking account simply won't do, it will lose purchasing power.

I think these all have the same solution. Houses are expensive because they grow in nominal terms while our labor does not. People who want to invest can't afford that and a home at the same time and so have to use their home for both. And devaluation of money... I think the solution to the housing crisis we are in is simply money that cannot be devalued.
national fast food franchises leaning in to firing customers for not being sufficiently juicy, as a means of increasing efficiency.

with a focus on the most willing consumers, you can probably even make more with fewer employees. keep crews blown out by making them smaller. maybe even add a token performance bonus with confusing math, to motivate those that remain. not that they need it, they should be grateful for not having been let go for non-performance efficiency reasons.
> The real solution is you shouldn't care about broadband mapping. Change government broadband incentives to a post-paid reimbursement for delivering fiber to previously unserved homes.

You can't tell which homes are currently unserved without collecting something.

> If you require ISPs to hand over customer and connection performance data to the government you have government spying.

Mapping speeds requires knowing what speeds the ISP is capable of providing with XY% uptime. Customer performance data doesn't have to enter the picture, unless the customer decides to file a dispute about false advertisements about bandwidth, for which case mapping laws should grant customers a private right of action as well as standing for class actions.

Because to make good, personalized recommendations they need to know what you don't know, and there isn't a good source of information about it.

For example, if you have not seen The Shawshank Redemption, chances are you will like it. It's #1 among IMDB top 250 list. But a recommender does not know if you've seen it. If you've seen it already, it's a bad recommendation.

So the same recommendation for the same person can be good today and bad tomorrow, depending on something recommender engine does not see. That makes it very difficult to tune and measure performance.
The more this becomes standard, the more mental fatigue we'll all be enduring. It feels like most innovation in modern capitalism the last, say, just under 10 years, is about outsourcing more and more mental and physical effort and labor to consumers, e.g., self-checkout.
Can you give a real world example of some of these things? I'm having trouble imagining them.
What do you want them to say? Isn't it kind of refreshingly honest?

I mean, once people finish the work that needs to be done, and if there isn't any more work to be done... those people get let go.

Not sure what you think the alternative is? Or how else to word it? People generally prefer honesty.
The stock market in America just seems to have the same function as the property market in China, it's the primary thing everyone dumps their wealth in. If one looks at stock market capitalization versus real economic output the ratio keeps creeping up. So either there's some miracle returns in the future or it's just more and more divorced from the fundamentals.

There’s absolutely nothing dystopian about retailers and merchants trying to maximize gross revenue. This is the basis for almost all that is good in our society.
"Anti-immigration" politics is a red-herring. Look at the UK post brexit. Immigration went up, by more than mainland europe. (And before the invasion of Ukraine)

Even for the far-right political movements, immigration is too favourable to actually stop. They're populists who sell cheap lies rather than actual solutions. Trump's not going to deprive his rural farmer voting blocs nor his big corporate sponsors of their cheap labour. Europe's far-right is even more closely allied with farmers right now.

The populists just virtue signal a bunch without doing anything about the problem.
>Experts predict 'good times will not last', and yet with a few exceptions like 2008 or 2022, prices tend to go up anyway. There is little evidence to suggest market timing works.

It took a long time for me to accept this. Go back and look at the S&P historically for any date you'd like, and it always looks like we're teetering on the edge of an abyss. That's just the nature of economic growth.
I procrastinate and sometimes I learn stuff while I'm procrastinating.
My problem with relying on philanthropy is: What happens when the donor is not so wholesome, and instead donates their $1B to a terrible or deadly cause, like a group bent on hate, discrimination, erasing people's rights, ethnic cleansing or some other evil? Is that just as OK from the "let people do what they want with their money" point of view? What if a billionaire donated their fortune to a cause that would result in your suffering?
Yes, I think you're right. When I eat something that's too spicy for me, I can't taste anything. My tongue is numb and feels like it's burning. It doesn't even have to get to the level of screaming for water; I can power through eating it even if it's spicy enough to where my tongue feels numb, but it's not pleasant, and I don't taste anything. I wouldn't even say that I "don't like spice," as spicy food can taste good, but if it gets too spicy I can't taste anything.
Wouldn't printing money have an inverse effect on the stock market?

Yes, Apple could bail them out. They might need to because, judging by recent WWDCs, they’ve already placed bets on Unity as the game engine of choice for Apple Vision Pro.
Sooo, back to gold then?
To be fair, I think the complaint of wanting more GPU and less CPU is reasonable, even in the context of the Z1 Extreme. 2 less CPU cores in exchange for more GPU cores, cache, and/or memory bandwidth would make it a more gaming oriented chip.

The RX 7600, AMD's lowest-end current-gen graphics card, has several times more CUs and memory bandwidth, so I think there's some room for improvement without undercutting their dGPU business.

The Z1 Extreme is essentially the same chip as the 7840U, AMD's highest tier U-series (15~30W) chip. In other words, it's a general-purpose design, not specifically gaming oriented.

From Wikipedia,

> Software developer Niantic released Pokémon Go, which was built using Unity engine, in 2016.[26] Following the success of Pokémon Go, Unity Technologies held several rounds of funding that increased the company's valuation: In July 2016, a $181 million round of funding valued the company at approximately $1.5 billion;[26] in May 2017, the company raised $400 million that valued the company at $2.8 billion;[27] and in 2018 Unity's CEO confirmed a $145 million round that valued the company at approximately $3 billion

Seems like investors wanted an exit, so public they went. I could be wrong. Maybe someone can provide better insight if I'm wrong or this isn't the complete picture.
Well, given the numbers in the parent comment they should have a surplus of $14.7 million yearly, so they could just let the surplus go back into the endowment and that would help keep up with inflation

A similar plane, the Sopwith Tabloid had these characteristics:

| During official trials, the Tabloid achieved a maximum speed of 92 mph, with a stalling speed of 36.9 mph.

https://www.ctie.monash.edu/hargrave/sopwith3.html

You have a lot of good points above but missed out of a great way to reduce stall speed: less weight! As you burn off fuel or otherwise shed weight, your wing loading decreases and thus you are able to decrease your angle of attack for a particular airspeed. Of course, angle of attack is the key to a stall (and thus a spin) so we can talk about other ways of reducing the angle of attack, often by unloading the wing.

Eg: another way to unload the wing is to reduce the tail-downforce that the main wing needs to counter in this classic design. By moving the center of gravity as far aft as is practicable, you achieve the same goal. As with anything in aviation, this is a trade off; By moving the CG aft, you make recovering from a stall harder or even impossible. I imagine that stalling in one of these bi-planes couldn’t have been a benign experience to begin with so, pilot beware!
Pooling resources via a corporation is one way that those with less individual wealth have a chance to compete against the very wealthy. Why should they have to meet a higher bar than such wealthy individuals?

One thing that helps is hooking metabase up to its own database and building queries on your queries, e.g.:

Whenever someone mentions building a billing system, I feel compelled to share Mark Dominus' delightful article, "Moonpig: a billing system that doesn't suck":

> Sometimes I see other people fuck up a project over and over, and I say “I could do that better”, and then I get a chance to try, and I discover it was a lot harder than I thought, I realize that those people who tried before are not as stupid as as I believed. That did not happen this time. Moonpig is a really good billing system. It is not that hard to get right. Those other guys really were as stupid as I thought they were.

how about a principled calculation of the planet carrying capacity for humans, Based on water, agriculture and industry requirements ? I mean we already have states fighting over water rights to rivers. I suspect we can’t go much higher than a 100 billion. But resources are already being diverted towards silicon life. from here I suspect we go towards 50/50 human / silicon . Until the silicon declares independence.
Most folks don't control when their lunch break, dinner time, or even breakfast are. All this does is raise prices for those who have no choice in the matter. It won't result in cheaper meals it'll result in even higher costs.

Step 1 is good in my opinion, though you might need some carveouts for corporations/trusts as there are sometimes good reasons for those; it should be a whitelist though -- only some very specific circumstances are allowed, like say a property being held in a trust to be passed onto a descendant.

For Step 2 though, what about instead of limiting how many houses you can own (as there will probably be significant legal challenges to that) what about progressively punitive property taxes on additional properties. Every house past the first pays 10% more annual property taxes than the previous one. By the time you're on your 10th house, you owe more than the value of that house every single year in property taxes. That gives those with really large amounts of fuck-you money the chance to still have those sorts of houses, but they operate at a pure loss, and we all get the benefit of that tax money.

They've sold it continuously over the last 20+ years, and continue to do so. I bought a copy this past year to try out Project Diablo 2[A], my second or third purchase of it, personally. They remastered it and sold that too, while selling D2, side by side. I also bought that to play with a friend. Quality sells.

It should be an example to all companies that a game made with passion can produce money for a long time. Diablo 2 was also one of the games that launched Blizzard into the stratosphere of popularity (which can be turned into wealth directly and indirectly). Awards. Prestige. The obsession with cash is out of control.

It might actually be a fat tail, if that's a thing, given how long it's been selling.[B] In fact, blizzard has probably made more money on me from D2, than D3, which I bought once, and I have not purchased D4 for a number of reasons.

This is my second time seeing a reference to this concept today, but apparently the Wikipedia article was created in 2023. It's an interesting idea though... did it come from machine learning research?

You should be taking a stance. Screw them and trying to rip us off even more. This kind of shit should be illegal. No mergers no matter what unless the other company is closing its doors. Probably every single merger has screwed Americans

One can understand why the legal system would be initially reticent to rule that conflicting truths can't exist in separate cases. New facts emerge, different teams may come to different conclusions, etc. You don't necessarily want a situation where one single incongruity between different prosecutions leads to mistrial or overturning verdicts. But, unfortunately, and entirely forrseeably, this allowance becomes totally abused. As the article says, stuff like this becomes a matter of gamesmanship, in which abuse of the system is almost seen as a sign of one's cleverness as a prosecutor.

The more I learn about the way specifically criminal law often operates, the more disturbing it is. If people knew half of what I've learned just through relatively casual reading, they would understand just how fragile their place as an upstanding citizen is in society, have a lot more sympathy for those caught up in the criminal justice system, and be far less wont to advocate the kind of treatment people meet in that system.

I noticed that the big jumps in births seem to occur around the boundaries of various poverty level measurements and tax brackets in the US. Hard to establish a direct correlation, but I think it speaks a bit to the fact that if you're really poor, having a lot of kids doesn't really change your situation. If you're a little poor, having many kids still doesn't change the situation unless it makes you really poor. But above that, you start having to really consider how having more kids will affect not only your own financial situation, but how much fewer resources you'll be able to dedicate to each child.

At a certain level of income you lose access to a lot of resources that the government provides that allows a certain minimum level of care for each child. Food stamps, financial aid, tax breaks, all start to fade away as you make more money.
Just go outside. Hangout with people. Listen to people's stories. Don't hunt for the purpose of life. You will find it eventually. Also do what you like, not what other people suggests.

No, stimulus affects the market positively. It was a K-type recovery, the market went up and the real economy didn't. The market dislocated in the 80's and every decade or so we have a crash that makes the rich richer. Whatever comes along, they weasel more money from us and the government.
