I don't know how you can dispute that if you are trying to compute A where A = B/C and you don't have a fixed value for B, then you cannot know A with any certainty. We're distributing novel vaccines treatments which hav

It's impossible to say what the risk/reward trade-off is, if all the risks aren't known.

As more and more people are squeezed economically, all existing tensions will be exacerbated. The biggy is when enough people start to struggle to consume enough calories that s** really starts to hit the fan. I would expect every geo-polit

Lack of housing is not a technology or industrial problem. New homes can be made easily and relatively cheaply if given the go ahead. Lack of housing is by policy. By ensuring there are not enough houses ensures there is more demand than su

It would also be interesting to plot the number of TODOs against the size of the code base too. One would assume that as a project grows, the number of outstanding TODOs would grow too. Where and when this isn't true, might reveal som

As long as the crewed starship is fuelled in orbit not too long after the last tanker ship launched, then the amount of boiloff will be negligible. I suspect Spacex will develop cooling systems to re-liquefy any gaseous propellants as this

Also it does not need to be the same tanker to do the resupply. The plan is to make 2 starships per week. There should be plenty available to continue refuelling missions if one is not available.

"If it falls as the supply increases there will be no inflation." Agreed. This is tautological. The fall of velocity is price deflation. Increase in velocity is price inflation. It doesn't matter if the currency supply is inc

I appreciate you posting your thinking on this. I suspect others share your model. I strongly reject the metaphor of oil and water, that there are different monies. In fact if there was such a thing I wouldn't be as worried. Problems c

Yes exactly. Why is it bad to make everyone a millionaire? It's bad because making everyone a millionaire by decree, or printing more units of currency is necessarily the same thing as devaluing the currency. Such that the population a

Can you think of any period of hyper-inflation without quantitative easing? People assume that because the velocity doesn't increase in lock step with the amount of currency creation that somehow inflation has been avoided, but the tsu

I think that's why an education has to be broad. A selective education can be tantamount to brainwashing/propaganda. Give the students as many perspectives and hope that they will do something sensible as they process the informat

The difference, is that the CBDC will be even more centralized. To control currency flows requires the participation of many separate entities. With this new 'digital money' it requires only the participation of those who control

Roughly speaking, if the carbon is captured from the atmosphere and later released into the atmosphere, the technology is carbon neutral. If the carbon is sequestered (stored permanently) it is carbon negative. If the carbon is obtained fro
