I'm not a developer in any way, but to what extent could any geographic pollution monitoring system be tied to a land-ownership registry? I would think openly publishing the names of the biggest offenders in semi-real-time could be at

That's not savings tho, we have defined terms we're using here.

You have it backwards, interest rates are a function of the amount of savings available to be pooled and invested. For a variety of reasons, there is a surplus of savings in the world, hence low interest rates. These reasons involve deficie

The increase in inequality was ongoing before that, so you haven't linked QE and inequality. Neither has Bernanke, who says the ties are very opaque. Furthermore, this isn't a massive asset bubble, nor does it fit the description

OK, so can you back this up? The economy has actually recovered. So where did they fuck up?

Which ones were the bankrupt, bad banks? Did anybody actually know at the time? No, they didn't, and they still don't have a great way of knowing that. Although if you have any ideas they are all ears. On siphoning - from experien

>I'd certainly consider a central bank that deliberately pumps and dumps the economy around it to be morally wrong. OK, so it sounds like this isn't really a debate anymore. This has the same coordination problem that the clima

I mean I actually agree with you, that was just what the article was suggesting.

OK, so, it actually says: "Basel-based BIS's Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructure (CPMI), made up of central bankers from across the world, said it could challenge banks' role - but if the technology became widespr

Somebody's nickname ≠ accurate description of their policy prescriptions. All you've really done is recite the right-wing description of what you believe has happened to "the economy." You haven't addressed what the

Can you explain why?

No it's not, your argument excludes factors that are huge in reality. For example, these executives that find themselves in a position to do that usually have only found themselves in that role after an extensive amount of time (10+ ye

Horrible example. Can you please rebut the extensive literature showing the Fed did the exact right thing?

I feel like this is reflective of reality and also an under appreciated view. The whole job of a good analyst is to be able to see through and reverse engineer any financial engineering.

Coming from the finance world here... Maybe the problem here is more how money is a societal construct, not a technological one, even though it can be represented technologically. With all due respect, people like Marc Andreessen seem to th

What? So these otherwise very intelligent people, don't see the flaw with discrediting their own profession for the sake of getting respect? You think that is what's going on?

Sorry, but the global shipping/maritime industry is only responsible for like 5%, maybe less, of emissions, as nasty as bunkers are, so it looks like you're the one staring at a tree. Like you mentioned, the real concern here is C

They're far more worried about the differential between the Federal Funds Rate and the Natural / Wicksellian Rate, which is what they attempt to follow with the Federal Funds Rate, rather than the outright magnitude of the move.

There's a big difference between Fed governor's acknowledging something, as they often do (see: biotech valuations, startup valuations), and the Fed governor saying it's something the macroeconomy needs to worry about. Can yo

You're mistaking changes in growth rates with the growth rates themselves... CPI is, and has been, positive for years now. Remember, you're not a macroeconomist and probably wouldn't be able to debate that last point if I tri

Except that even with commodities getting cut in half or losing up to like 3/4 of their value, we are still in a slightly inflation positive environment. What does that tell you about the state of the underlying economy? Furthermore, y

This isn't actually true. A new Vegas dress for a lot of my friends would cost as much as the rest of their whole trip to Vegas. Furthermore, women 18-30 have tons of weddings, bachelorette parties, work functions, holiday events, birt

How do you know options skews aren't already pricing this factor in? Usually this effect is counterbalanced by the vol smile. Edit: vol smile is how options very far away from the strike tend to be priced at a premium versus what black
