Monetary policy isn't intended to steer the behavior of normal people[1] who have ~net-zero cash for most of their lives, it's intended to steer the behavior of investors who don't need to spend all their money on food and shelter and medicine, and who will happily choose to sit on their cash, instead of investing it, if that provides them with better returns.

Everyone bitches when the price of milk goes up 8%, but nobody seems to realize that it went up because wages did. On average, if you're a worker, and you aren't saving (or trying to save) a pile of cash, inflation is net-zero for you.

[1] Stimulus checks did steer the behavior of normal people, but they were fiscal, not monetary policy. They had knock-on monetary policy effects, but the juice was worth the squeeze - thanks to them and the PPP, the economy didn't entirely collapse.
Well clearly it doesn't, because people still need to live. We have many years of evidence that people still buy shiny tech gadgets despite knowing that in a year's time they will be much cheaper.

I think there's a distinction between criminal activity and the usual conflict of interest.
Because it's effective.
Higher inflation levels in the upcoming decades are effectively inevitable with the parabolic public debt levels and zero political appetite for reducing budget deficits. Things like quickly approaching insolvency of the Social Security program only make the situation worse. As soon as the public debt market (including repo) will see any issues the Fed will quickly ride to the rescue, inflation be damned. We've clearly seen it right before the pandemic and with UK gilts.

It does not matter what the inflation target is. It's likely we will see double digit inflation spikes with "hard work" of bringing it back to target levels (be it 2% or 4%), so on average you will get anything but the target level.

This looks like a really neat project! The examples certainly feel less “script-like” than streamlit.

One thing I find disappointing though, is that this framework is built on top of FastAPI. I feel it’s a bad idea to build on top of what’s basically a one-man project. No matter how popular that project is.
A friend (whom I shall not name) with the British Antarctic Survey once told me that the mornings after a meteor shower, they would take a Twin Otter plane out low, looking for dark rocks against the snow, land, gather, repeat, and finally sell the rocks on eBay.

The short answer seems to be no. Newer planes are much more efficient than older ones, but the most efficient aircraft and flight segment per passenger-distance are the A320 Neo and 737 Max making ~1000 mile flights.

There are significant stabilization benefits to having a public (and binding) inflation target - all of the large economic entities / sectors like banking, government spending, corporations, etc., become more predictable to each other. For this reason, whatever number is chosen will tend to “stick”, regardless of how the actual number is chosen. Or alternatively: it is optimal to have an inflation target (compared to not having one). Once you are in the “targeted” space, there is a further optimization of deciding what the inflation target should specifically be, but the gains and losses here are small compared to the existence or lack thereof of any target at all.
This is a timely book. Maybe more interesting (at least to me) than the recent results of AI research is the application of techniques used in the field applied elsewhere.

I mean, the technical limitations are pretty obvious if you are even remotely familiar with the architecture. The watch offloads significant computation and communication to the phone in an extremely tightly integrated manner to have an acceptable computational and power consumption envelope.

I don't see how they could have done it without significant co-operation from the Android OS team far deeper than even two allied companies are typically able to communicate. The other alternative would have been to design a totally different piece of hardware that operates according to the Android OS expectations but that's hardly "bringing Apple Watch to Android".

You don’t need inflation to solve the problems. Adjust the tax rates instead.

Property taxes. Income taxes. Taxing people by the amount of savings they have. Importantly, don’t give the rich guys tax breaks. Give the tax breaks to the poor.

Seems like a simple fix - require them to provide service at a normal installation fee at any location they've claimed within 10 days or be on the hook for the cost to that end user of getting equivalent or better service installed. Throw enough zeros at a different provider and they'll build out to you, and if that buildout is being paid for by a nominally-incumbent local provider? Even better.

"You don't actually have to provide fiber service within 10 days at the location you said you were already servicing - but if you don't you're going to be paying $100k+ to AT&T for their expedited buildout to that area."
Sure that’s a problem for them, but rather niche and doesn’t seem to justify this huge avenue for “crime”
it's an "everything is awesome" schelling point at this point
Ya think? It's a test flight to make sure that the aircraft can take off, fly, and land. I doubt they even retracted the landing gear.

Flight testing will slowly and very methodically expand the flight envelope until it meets or fails its design objectives.
That’s not true. The issue isn’t that the same device will be cheaper in a year, but that the latest device will be the same or close to it. As a result, people are more likely to hang on to their devices (for example) if they assume that next year’s latest model will be cheaper than this year’s.

A great example is the Apple Vision Pro. How many people didn’t buy it simply because the price is too high? Betcha they would if it were cheaper, which they know it will be eventually.

The same is not true of phones, which don’t generally get cheaper for the flagship products.
The tar file format is REALLY bad. It's pretty much impossible to thread because it's just doing metadata then content and repeatably concatenating.

IE

/foo.txt 21
This is the foo file
/bar.txt 21
This is the bar file

That makes it super hard to deal with as you essentially need to navigate the entire tar file before you can list the directories in a tar file. To add a file you have to wait for the previous file to be added.

Using something like sqlite solves this particular problem because you can have a table with file names and a table with file contents that can both be inserted into in parallel (though that will mean the contents aren't guaranteed to be contiguous.) Since SQLite is just a btree it's easy (well, known) how to concurrently modify the contents of the tree.
Yeah - I've said this elsewhere, but I slightly prefer Litestar over FastAPI for this reason.
I doubt you would have said the same if it affected you.

Slight inflation encourages money to be put towards productive use and punishes hoarding. Choosing a deflationary monetary policy is unconscionable, just think for a moment what the consequences would be.

If you get the chance to dictate how the user of the chair uses it (without to much blowback) it would make good business sense.

If you can prevent manufacturers from gaining control over unrelated parts of the customers life it would make good sense as a law maker.

Can someone make a portable computer with networking a camera, mic and nothing else? It seems entirely possible.

Then there is no need for the chair maker to want a percentage of all food revenue eaten in the chair, no need to demand specific food vendors or demand they use a specific payment system they also happen to own. No need to control who you can talk to, which games you play.

There just isn't a need to allow it.

Paul Krugman covers that question here (gift link): https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/09/opinion/inflation-target-... and argues that the theoretical assumptions that led to the 2 percent rate didn’t turn out to be true:

> On one side were economists who believed that the essential role of monetary policy — maybe even its moral duty — was to deliver stable prices. Money, after all, is a yardstick we use to measure economic activity, and they argued that this yardstick shouldn’t be constantly changing its length.

> On the other side were economists who worried that too low an inflation rate could inhibit our ability to fight recessions. The Federal Reserve and its counterparts in other countries try to manage the economy mainly through their control of short-term interest rates; but these rates can’t go much below zero, because negative rates would just lead people to accumulate stacks of $100 bills. A higher rate of inflation tends, other things being equal, to raise interest rates and makes it less likely that the Fed, faced with a recession, will hit the “zero lower bound” and be unable to cut rates further.

The zero lower bound turned out to be a real problem, given the amount of years we spent at a zero percent interest rate.
That's not new or controversial (in economics circles).

This really took off in the Reagan years where real wages stagnated [1]. It was from the 1980s where you started to hear statements like "wage incresaes should be tied to productivity increases" [2]. If you parse that statement, it means no cost-of-living increases ie a decrease in real wages.

All of this is wealth transfer to the very rich and entirely intentional.

I use bulma for a small site of mine: https://www.sustaphones.com/. Some impressions from my usage, after having just updated to 1.0:

1. It's absolutely awesome that 1.0 did not break compatibility with the old HTML. That's quality.

2. Bulma 1.0 finally has a grid component. Very nice, as my site is basically one big grid, and the flexbox solution from before was missing equal height boxes. Though the grid performance seems aweful on my old test phone, but that might not be bulma's fault?

3. I refuse to use build pipelines in my free time for web projects, and with that limitation I never felt in control of bulma. It was default colors or nothing (or custom CSS, which as an artificial limitation I tried to limit to a minimum here). Now, there is CSS variables support and that might be perfect for me - but the docs do not cover how to use that, and whether it's built in a way that they can be used. Can I for example set a custom primary color? The docs show changing the link color to some numeric value, that does not translate for me.

That's a bit disappointing after reading about themes and color palettes in the changelog.

4. Even with my very limited usage of bulma's colors, the new dark mode did not work for me. My site has a "has-background-light" class at the body, because otherwise bulma's boxes have an unbearably low contrast at their borders/shadows with the background, especially at their top. But "has-background-light" stays a light background even in dark mode. That sounds reasonable and like a mistake on my side, until the docs don't present a "has-background-light-dark" or something like this, something that changes from light to dark dynamically.

5. Regardless of that, I wouldn't use the default dark mode, it's too dark (and my site embeds images with white background, which I can't change - would have to use a filter maybe).

6. The form helpers, specifically the dropdowns, still feel nice. Though I had to include some hacks to get them to work on mobile and desktop.

7. The color definitions used break the browser dev tools contrast check tool, the colors aren't resolved. This is especially problematic as not all default colors are accessible, the yellow warning color for example has too low a contrast for a white background, with which it's presented in the docs. A framework like this really should only have accessible default colors.

8. The framework does not feel completely thought out with regards to responsiveness. Specifically, often you want to have your outer element only have some margin until the viewport gets very small. But the mx-* margin helper has no variant with included breakpoint, the layout's container `is-fluid` modifier sets a fixed 32px margin, way too much on small screens.

Thanks! we found script-like frameworks like Streamlit are nice for small apps, but hard to reason about for larger apps. We went with a declarative approach more similar to React.

FastAPI has been working well for us, but we're not strongly coupled to it - in the future it would be easy to swap it out if needed.
I wasn't saying he has learned from his mistake. I'm just saying he no doubt has expertise.
To be honest, I don't think that attitude is good enough. There are technical ways to prevent money laundering and tax evasion at the same time as keeping anonymous payments possible.

Sure, it's more complicated than just outright banning any type of anonymous payment, but I think not even trying would amount to a huge loss of resiliency for any democracy.

We also don't blanket ban secure private communications (although not for a lack of trying) for the same reason.

It's a bit more subtle than that, because there are feedback loops in the system. When a signal or factor spreads, it does so at multiple time horizons.

e.g. If I have a good signal at predicting horizon 1 day, then it is in my interest to have many people trading it at horizon > 1 day, as they will push the price in my direction.
We need inflation because it's governments' only way to keep spending like crazy, at the expense of cash holders, who are often poor, and benefiting assets holders.
> if you're a worker, and you aren't saving (or trying to save) a pile of cash, inflation is net-zero for you

But people should be able to save. So that they can buy a house or apartment for themselves and their family. Without having to take up a loan to do so.
You seriously cannot think of a single other way to do it?
Not if they're banned, which will almost certainly be the case by the time Boom is commercially available.
> 2) Inflation reduces the true value (cost) of debt. And with $34.5 trillion of it, that’s a big incentive to keep it around.

This is the point that a lot of people miss. Inflation is good for governments as well as businesses who can exploit high inflation to raise prices and shrinkflate products disproportionatly while lowing their wage bills in real terms.

But it inflicts the most suffering on not just the working class, but the sensible/frugal ones who minimize their debt and accumulate some amount of savings rather, but who don't have enough wealth or knowledge to get serious about investing it.

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).

2-3% just happens to be the most they can get away with in the long term without the population getting concerned.

What the general population don't realise is that the value of goods and services are going down over time, due to efficiency increases, at a rate of around 5% / year. The banks can print enough money to soak that up unnoticed, and then an extra 2% just because they can. It's essentially a stealth transfer of wealth from the people to the banks and it's been going on for decades/centuries (before fiat, it used to take the form of coin shaving, impure metals etc).

You really see the effect when you look at house prices. They are roughly the same price in gold as they were in the 1970s. Rather than housing going up in value since then, it has been the monetary units going down in value, due to the supply roughly doubling every decade (look up M2 USD).

You can understand the incentive to print money when you realise that every year the banks are collecting interest on every dollar/euro/pound etc. in existence. And the banks don't really own any of them - they printed them out of thin air as loans and have to destroy them when the loans are repaid, but total debt only increases every year...
