But electronics are deflating,…

Electronics have become cheaper through gargantuan investments of capital. Such investments are actively discouraged by deflation.

And in an inflationary world, you can just park your money in government bonds (effectively returning it back to the Fed) to beat inflation most of the time. Inflation doesn't force you to spend your money productively

Putting your money in government bonds or an interest earning savings account is by definition, putting your money to work. Sure, you aren’t doing anything with it, but whoever is paying you interest is only doing so because they expect to make more money than they borrowed.
No, Abraham Wald didn't create any image. He created the report that those images were inspired by. The blog post's author created the image that's lower down in the page and links to the original report that you can page through. If you do, you will see there are no such images.

FWIW, I've never seen either image until today, but am familiar with this example (Abraham Wald's WWII plane research) being used when talking about survivorship bias.
zip interestingly sticks the metadata at the end. That lets you add files to a zip without touching what's already been zipped. Just new metadata at the end.

Modern tape archives like LTFS do the same thing as well.
Jet engine is a "solved" problem for like 4 Western companies (GE, Pratt-Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Safran) plus some Russian and Chinese state-owned enterprises that mostly do military work. These organizations guard their secret sauces vigorously. Designing a cutting edge jet engine from scratch (i.e. with competitive fuel efficiency) is NOT a trivial task.

It sounds pathetic but sometimes I think his music has saved my life at a certain point. The fact that all voices are always "singing" makes it also very enjoyable to practise his music.
I have been thinking that with better and more frequent reporting of the statistics over the years that this inflation target of 2% could go to 1% if not zero.

In my mind, central banks and the all the levels of governments should be getting weekly (if not daily) reports of hiring, job losses, house building, and rental prices / turnovers in like a Grafana dashboard.
> * These kinds of stories seem to have no other effect than to make the world feel darker, scarier, more dreary*

No other effect at all? It brings transparency and shines light on a failed prosecution tactic. This can now be easily googled and understood by both defendants and judges.
> punishes hoarding

Or put another way, punishes saving. Forcing people to "save" by loaning the money to businesses and governments bonds and equities is good for politicians who like to be measured by economic metrics. But it's bad for being able to actually save for the future, and reducing dependencies on banks, leading to the moral hazard (with 0% inflation you could have narrow banking without problems).
I agree with your sentiment, but not the reason - instead of concern about competition/short-term profitability, Boeing has always thrown huge amounts of money into stock buybacks, even while development is running over budget. This article is a great window into the institutional rot at Boeing, and I think it highlights the problems caused by large companies' decisions being dominated by their own stock price: https://newrepublic.com/article/154944/boeing-737-max-invest...

>> The more money the banks print, the richer they get

This is wrong. You’ve misunderstood the creation of credit and money.

See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105752191... - but then spend time reading the relevant legislation pieces.

You can safely ignore most of the mainstream economist schools of thought since the actual operational side of money as required by law is mostly a blind spot for them. Economic schools of thought do not link to relevant legislation when sharing their fairy tales since the laws the banks operate under result in behaviour distinct from that claimed by any major economic school of thought.

I am not an expert but Mongolia was under heavy Soviet influence so they adopted Cyrillic alphabet

After USSR dissolution there's an impulse to return to the traditional vertical script which is a bit impractical because compared to say Han it's not possible to write it horizontally.

> No, I'm sending them from an iPhone to Google Voice via MMS. iMessage does not work over Google Voice. All that an iPhone knows is that the Google Voice number is not an Apple device.

> Repeat after me: Poor MMS implementations are not Apple limitations.

Except that some of my family cannot send me a text on my Android phone because iOS absolutely refuses to treat it as anything other than an iMessage. Their contact for me does not have my iMessage/iCloud email. My iMessage/iCloud account has had my phone number deregistered from it. However, their iPhones cannot send me a text. It always sends it as an iMessage, even on threads where I send a text from my Android phone. Any reply just goes straight back to iMessage.

There are plenty of instances where Apple just does not care about text messages and protocols and will refuse to treat them properly. It is absolutely anti-competitive. They have been taken to court over this, which is why there is even a website that allows you to deregister your number. You used to have to use your iPhone to do it, which isn't exactly convenient if you lose or steal it. If you switched to Android, there was no way to get a text message from an iOS device while your number was registered with iMessage.

Sqlite supports parallel reads from multiple threads.

So demand rail service that drops you off inside the airport right at the security line.

Demand baggage pick-up and delivery services be offered.

Having someone pick up your checked luggage the day before you fly out, walking off a train right into the airport, and then getting on the plane w/o any fuss, is amazing.

VS the American Standard of waiting in a huge line to weigh your checked luggage, that you just paid an Uber 60-80 to carry for you.

The current monetary system could essentially be swapped for Universal Basic Income.

If the reason 2% inflation exists is to increase money velocity then a fair distribution of money to everyone equally would accomplish exactly that and more.

What about loans? People would still keep their money in banks, which would make circulate in the economy only keeping 10%, just like now.

Hermeus is ostensibly going after the super/hypersonic commercial transport market too, but something seems kind of off with that approach (to me).

Their quarterhorse demo aircraft has plenty of utility in a variety of unmanned military roles. To such a degree that the civilian transport angle seems like kind of a distraction in this current era of military ramp-up.

Maybe it's just a hedge so they can keep their toes in two markets simultaneously and perhaps appeal to investment via those different interests.
There's this weird thing where people don't understand that Europe has a long history of very strong copyright law. The life + 70 years term of copyright comes from Germany, not the US, and globally companies harmonised there.

There's also an international treaty, WIPO Copyright Treaty, that requires signatories to enact anti-circumvention provisions. The EU and the US both agreed and signed it before the DMCA.
The whole thing makes sense to me and I can't see any major points of criticism in the design rationale. Some thoughts:

* There is already a "native" Sqlite3 container solution called Sqlar [0].

* Sqlite3 itself is certainly suitable as a base and I wouldn't worry about its future at all.

* Pascal is also an interesting choice, it is not the hippest language nor a new kid on the block, but offers its own advantages as being "boring" and "normal". I am thinking especially of the Lindy effect [1].

All in all a nice surprise and I am curious to see the future of Pack. After all, it can only succeed if it gets a stable, critical mass of supporters, both from the user and maintainer spectrum.

Deflation hurts those who are poor far more than those who are rich. It’s morally wrong to reward the wealthy for doing as little as possible.

But if your goal is just to blow up the economy, then sure, a deflationary spiral is a potent poison.
They can objectively afford less housing, education, healthcare and such things than 40 years ago. They can afford better computers, but that is just thanks to technology, other than technology making things cheaper their lives are worse.
> It's sensible to use gold or housing as a measure of value - they are both extremely mature markets with a relatively constant supply/demand ratio

Look at how the price of gold changed between 2000 and 2020. It's not at all constant (it's actually more volatile than the dollar)

> I'd argue that using the dollar as a measure of value would be absurd,

Perhaps. Still less absurd than using gold for that.

> When they turn the interest rates back up, they get their reward

When the interest rates go up the price of bonds goes down. If you're holding a lot of bonds and interest rates go up you're certainly not in a good position (that's how the Silicon Valley Bank went bankrupt). Just basic math. Of course if we're talking about variable rate debt then you do have a point (however almost all household debt in the US is fixed rate, it varies by country though).
> Another interesting thing that happened under Greenspan is how inflation is computed (hedonics, replacements, etc... conceptually, think "if I can't buy a porterhouse steak anymore, I'll get the lesser hanger", meaning inflation is underreported).

Inflation calculations (in the US) did not happen under Greenspan, or under any other Federal Reserve chair, because the calculations are not done by the Fed, but by the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/).

The 1990s change to the CPI were done under the auspices of the US Senate Boskin Commission:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boskin_Commission

* https://www.ssa.gov/history/reports/boskinrpt.html

One of the conclusions was (AIUI) that the CPI then-methodology actually resulted in numbers too high.

This is true in many (most?) countries: e.g., in Canada CPI is calculated by StatCan and various types are used by the Bank of Canada (BoC):

I love unions in American fictional media. The Wire seasons two is centered around the dockworkers who take bribes and are arguing about how corrupt they should be (I’m biased since it’s the most boring season by far). Ozark features a union on the periphery which is introduced by a man carjacking a truck and kneecaping the driver with a shotgun. Can’t wait to see what’s up next.

Paul Tillich is definitely interesting, but I find his conclusions deeply unsatisfying and even somewhat "new agey." This is pretty typical of existentialists though. When you search for meaning and purpose, you tend to find it in reinforcing what it is you want in the first place. So for Nietzsche, it was ultimate freedom, for Kierkegaard it was Christianity, for Camus it was living contradiction, and for Tillich it is some sort of Christian-y/pantheist/new age hybrid. It doesn't help that unlike most existentialists, Tillich is a pretty dull writer.

That doesn't mean he didn't have a number of insights and thought-provoking ideas, and really my criticism is more due to my feelings about existentialism than Tillich itself. I find a vigorous approach to seeking/knowing truth far more interesting and satisfying than seeking (or creating) meaning/purpose.

I am personally more forgiving of software unlocks for things like ADAS systems. My thinking is that they incurred that as a large R&D cost not a per unit cost. So, having it be an add on allows me to not pay for it if I don’t want it. If they didn’t have this option you would still be paying for it but just a little less. The low end of the market would just be subsidizing your preference.

That point is always raised on every criticism of tar (that it's good at tape).

Yes! It is! But it's awful at archive files, which is what it's used for nowadays and what's being discussed right now.

Over the past 50 years some people did try to improve tar. People did develop ways to append a file table at the end of an archive file. Maintaining compatibility with tapes, all tar utilities, and piping.

Similarly, driven people did extend (pk)zip to cover all the unix-y needs. In fact the current zip utility still supports permissions and symlinks to this day.

But despite those better methods, people keep pushing og tar. Because it's good at tape archival. Sigh.
This is flat out incorrect. There have been productivity driven deflations in the 1800s that have actually been net good for the average person.

It's just that the most salient example of recent deflations (2008 and 1930) happened to coincide with massive crashes and problems; but that is a feedback of deflation + excessive leverage leading into the deflation - it's not something inherent in deflation itself.

Thanks so much for elaborating!

For what it's worth, I think for people like me (who already use Syncthing and Tailscale), all the reasons the FAQ mention for why Nextcloud is really necessary (auth, file upload, etc.) are already covered, which is why I'd be so interested in something a little bit more lightweight.

(As an aside, I am not sure I agree on the "Nextcloud upgrades are seamless" part – every time I've had to upgrade a Nextcloud instance so far I was in for a world of pain.)

There are so many models out there for all sorts of use cases. A lot of the weights are in the open and you can fine tune on top of them.

There will be no single "foundation model" that wins. There will be dozens of competing foundational models that are all racing to the bottom. The product build around them and the user base / community are what matter.

Hope that this is just fear mongering and it doesn't become a serious problem down the line.
"Real" wages are driven by the "real" supply and demand of labor, not by nominal numbers.

If the number of qualified workers increases significantly, you will end up with lower real wages. There were three major factors increasing labor supply around this time in the US. Immigration from Mexico, women continuing to enter the labor force, and reduction in demand/increase in (global) supply for lower skill labor via globalization of manufacturing

Not casting any judgment on whether these things are good, but they are far more likely to be the primary factor than inflation.
Cryptography functions, I'd assume, are purposely non-differentiable.
> The more money the banks print, the richer they get, with the side-effect that prices rise (they make the monetary units less scarce and worth less).

Meanwhile Japan has been increasing money supply for decades, and yet during that time they've had low and even negative rates of inflation:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=PA7P

Stop looking at money supply and inflation:

> But also – why do so many people insist that inflation is an increase in the money supply? This makes zero sense. Here’s why – our economy is mostly a credit based economy. So, if I take out a loan for $100,000 then the money supply has technically increased by $100,000. But what if I don’t actually tap that loan? What if I borrow the money because, for instance, house prices just went up 25% and I want to have some cash around for emergencies? This doesn’t tell us anything about prices, living standards or really anything. But this is what so much of the money supply represents – money that has been issued and is just sitting around unused. Why is this useful? It’s like calculating your weight changes by counting how much food you have in your refrigerator. No. That’s potential calories consumed and potential weight gain. The amount of food in your fridge tells you little about your future weight changes just like the amount of money in the economy tells us little about the actual price changes in the economy.
