I'd personally tax loans on securities and from a HELOC or similar as income. I don't think it's practical to tax unrealized gains nor do I think that taking stock options should incur a tax until they are sold or borrowed ag

Inflation is actually pretty good if you have debt, the debt is in fixed dollars, your wage will likely go up.

How they perceive of it now, and how it effected them psychologically are not the same.

I see some of that, but I don't think it's all that, there is a lot of YOLO too.

Yeah, you're capturing my perspective exactly. It was arguably the psychological impact of the on hold feeling that did more to explain now, than anything about the disease itself - though the pandemic did make me personally acutely

I'm sorry, you're wrong - and I dont say that lightly. My roommate worked a service job during the pandemic, went to work every day. He couldn't go shopping at a store for 6 months, he couldn't go out to eat for a simila

America had a boom then, and arguably so did europe in culture at least certainly. That said, much of europes economic generation, was the flower of whole nations youths being stolen by flanders fields - either literally in death or psychol

I have heard so many people say "life is short, why wait?" in the last 18 months, maybe before that - I've seen people quit jobs, relocate, buy houses - do all sorts of things they wanted to do that made them feel more fulf

Do people actually wait for black friday to buy a house?!

I dont think so. I've been hearing that it's a time to worry for over 20 years, thru three major once in a lifetime events. If none of those were a time to worry, I dont see why this is.

Anyone who went thru went felt like a life changing (and life challenging) event, like the pandemic, is not going to behave in the same way people used to (before they had those experiences). Because of social media, and the media - people

I just dont see how starlink makes money in the long term, without massive government subsidy like Iridium gets. Elon's seeming unwillingness to play nice with the federal government in regards to this harms Starlink's ongoing via

IDSL was an ISDN bearer with Frame Relay running on top, it basically didn't use the channelization scheme at all - and IIRC had different framing than a real BRI line.

It really depended a lot of how clean your pair was, and sometimes even what kind of switch you were homed on. Like channel banks prior to the D4 and a 1AESS would very likely have a marked difference to your speeds.

Technically only the not yet functional DMS-10 is digital, everything else is analog. The 3ESS is a stored program, computer controlled analog switch - it uses the same remreed technology the 1AESS used to set up call links. Out of all of t

You likely had something called a 'pair gain' installed - which worked much like DSL, by using a high frequency FM carrier over the audio frequencies to provide a second phone line on the same pair. These things were largely gone

This runs counter to every source I've read - do you have a source for it?

We should in general terms not give AI - any AI, the ability to manifest itself in meat space. This alone almost certainly reduces the existential risks from AI.

It's a good recommendation, thanks for elevating it out of the noise Sometimes the best part about having a loud voice is elevating the stuff that falls into the noise. I moderate communities elsewhere, and I know how hard it is, and I

Also, ones persons incompetent is anothers performer. Like, being crosswise in organizational politics does not imply less of a devotion of organizational goals, but rather often simply different interpretation of those goals.

Why is there a presumption that it must take precedence over other work? I've run or defended against 'grassroots organizations transformations' (aka, a coup) at several non-profit organizations, and all of us continued to do

Every radio has a local oscillator that can be detected at some distance - from space however? I am highly skeptical.
