How is an increase in the money supply theft if increases in price are irrelevant?
253.
by WoahNoun 6y ago
That is a disingenuous argument, at best. Inflation is a specific economic term with a specific definition. And it's not increase in the money supply.
254.
by WoahNoun 6y ago
Inflation and changes to the money supply are not the same thing. This conflation gets pushed by libertarians/techno-libertarians constantly. The money supply can increase and inflation (the price of goods and services) can go down.

The way GA is promoted by the non-math world does not unify mathematical formalisms. I've yet to see a GA implementation that does more than reimplement rotations/quaternions.
261.
by WoahNoun 6y ago
Depends on your definition of calculation. From what I've seen so far, the simplifications that GA makes are mostly on the symbolic side. That is, it makes the written equations more compact. But the math "under the hood" is
