It's not ironic that I am failing to communicate when my argument is that it is hard to communicate. Perfection is in knowing everything and not having to communicate. Nobody is perfect and communication is inevitable. New domains pop-

Sorry, the problem is communication. The solution is no communication. You do so by teaching your developers everything they need to know.

Housing is not included in the CPI. The housing figure is Owner's Equivalent Rent. They survey owners and ask them what they think that they could rent their home for.

Exactly. The current techniques to Sybil resistance directly leads to plutocracy because of economies of scale. I think the solution is fees based on transaction expediency. If I want a transaction to go through for the minimum possible fee

It's Dunbar's Number. When a tribe gets to large, because of Metcalfe's law the tribe loses the ability to discuss things to a level of nuance that is required, and that causes fractures that lead to a tribal split. Because a

I think I was confused because I naturally do what you say few people do. My external calls all parse into an object that you can then pass into the unit. It's the integration tests job to ensure that the parse works. Then its the unit

I'm confused as to where any mention of integration tests are? Integration tests can't use Mocks, as then they wouldn't be testing the integration. Unit tests can use Mocks, but as the article and GP and Mark Seemann[0] point

If you fix the incentives, everything else follows eventually. If you don't fix the incentives, some other symptom will appear from the same disease. We need Land Value Taxes.

Now that others are not working in the office, I hope that communities realize that we are drastically under-creating shared spaces and push for significantly more of them. As these offices are sitting empty and are no longer required, inst

We've learned in this pandemic that for knowledge work the workplace is no longer a requirement for productivity. Work should be what you spend one third of your time doing, but it should not be where. During college I did my homework

I experienced all of these to a much better degree during college. Are you sure you don't just want to live in a city that provides plenty of shared spaces? Relying on your employer for these items seems unwise.

This all comes back to Dunbar's number[0]. When ape cultures grow to large, eventually there is a dispute and you get a tribal split. Some of the tribe sticks with the original leader, some move to the new tribe. Researchers have found

Nice catch, I agree. I should have said land is deflationary . There's surely a few more nuances where it isn't.

Oh, interesting. I was the guy correcting you on M2V from earlier. We actually agree with like 95% on our stances. Bitcoin is bad because it is a deflationary currency, you just made that point so we can move on. With the Federal Reserve se

by ItsMonkk 5y ago
You're confused. (M2 * M2V) / GDP = 1[0] That's the formula to calculate M2V. New supply is not created due to the drop in velocity, velocity drops when new supply is added. When M2 rises and GDP stays the same, M2V drops. As

I agree with your hard-to-parse comment. I think without having a face-to-face and showing code samples this can't really be communicated(which is further complicated that the code is in a form that we both won't be able to grok),

This is my take as well. If you are building a framework and its sub-components are frameworks that act on their own behalves, you better build exactly what you need in an opinionated style. But if you are building a framework and its sub-c
