I mean they also have a large number of people producing investment goods vs doing operations. If you cut the former it's gunna take quite a few years to see the effect. Twitter was never an attractive business and isn't one now,

Plus there's some reality bending that can go on. Everyone piling capital into something can sometimes make it happen, even if "it" is dumb.

The good times can even cause businesses to slowly inch towards near-failure as they lever up more and more to compete!

Maybe it'll become a crisis as they (or their estates) all go to sell the homes at once :).

Seems like it isn't. The last few years have been really good for the bottom of the income/wealth distribution. Tbh with the federal deficit at 6-7% of GDP I think it'll be somewhat hard to produce a recession. Eventually com

The minimum wage isn't the problem, it's wage stickiness generally. Also, unemployment predates minimum wage laws. But wave stickiness is sorta just part of human nature.

Only half true. You can, actually, decide to channel increased productivity into involuntary unemployment and it seems that to some extent we do just that. Productivity and growth aren't zero-sum, but money definitely is. All the asset

In addition to what everyone else has said it also makes it difficult to allocate the type on the stack. Even if you do allow it you'll at least need a probe.

Fwiw doing a unity build with thin-lto can yield lovely results. That way you still get parallel _and_ incremental codegen.

So, clang's modules are quite similar to clangs precompiled headers, especially the "chained" pchs. With PCH you have to wait on the serial PCH compilation step before you can get any parallelism, with modules you can compile

A few points 1) modules only really help address time spent parsing stuff, not time spent doing codegen. Actually they can negatively impact codegen performance because they can make more definitions available for inlining/global opts,

Rust does do this. The unit of compilation is the whole crate and the compiler creates appropriately sized chunks of LLVM IR to balance duplicate work and incrementality. Rust is generally faster to compile on a per-sourceline basis than c+

Eagh, real estate depreciates too, just more slowly. Imo the actual difference is that (many) cars are a very expensive way to meet your transportation needs compared to alternatives.

It has a lot to do with the structure of economies. Usually they're big exporters with fairly stable currencies. The differences in savings rates are super huge, even within cultural groups. Demographics also play a role as does inequa

There is a ceiling on how much you can spend on these things. Generally it is not fun to get drunk or high that frequently, and in the limit you die.

Everyone can't be 50% more frugal than everyone else, but it's possible for "everyone else" to be something other than 3-4% (the current US savings rate). The money to sustain a high savings rate without a collapse in wa

You need money to cover your expenses. Forgoing the rest of your salary is a very, very cheap form of leverage. For the risk to make sense you probably do already need enough, though.

I bet they will try and expand service area over expanding inventory. It's very expensive to keep cars in reserve for peak times, Uber gets around this by offloading the cost onto their drivers, but waymo will need to be able to pull c

HFTs chase two sided order flow, not valuations that are "correct" in the long term. They generally don't add information to the market. Quantitative traders do add information. HFTs probably don't like trading with peop

It's not really enough to predict the outcome, you need something concrete to actually bet on, and you need to time things right (particularly for the pessimistic bet). For any bet that involves purchasing bits of profits you you could

Yeah, I unironically think buying a house as a primary residence should require being an accredited investor. Probably among the least popular political ideas I can think up, though.

It sometimes can, but you then have to balance the time spent optimizing against the time spent actually doing whatever you were optimizing. Also on modern chips you must wait quite a number of cycles before executing modified code or endur

The US can only default on its debts in some kind of fit of self-destruction (by choice). Any amount of debt is "sustainable". I'm not even sure why moody's bothers.

If you use windows server you can just type `Uninstall-WindowsFeature WindowsDefender` (or similar, that might be the wrong feature name). If you use client windows there are two options, first you can disable "anti-tamper" and th

reminds me of the venerable "makeheaders" tool, which works very well, however the tooling issues are very real.
