WC requires copious amounts of high-intensity prep, close to a year from what he has said before, so this is a ROI thing for Carlsen. He has spent half-ish (emphasis on the ish) of his adult life preparing specifically for WC matches.

Best we can do is certainly not increase the cost of land, and thus increase the required price of rent/housing to break even. Less regulatory obstacles to increase supply, i.e. build housing, is the correct answer.

Those are not even the only regulations, but you are absolutely right. Hence the prices.

I feel like you're intentionally playing semantic games, i.e. trolling, so let me tell you straight that I don't appreciate that. The fact a central bank is a "human institution" is irrelevant. The fact blockchain is a &

There are so many other factors in play than whether "employees start clamoring for COL adjustments" or not, so the correct course of action when that happens might very well be to reduce wages or do nothing.

A central bank and blockchain technology are antithetical concepts, and if a central bank is ever offering you something blockchain it's probably a scam by means of sham decentralization.

Supply and demand. COL is a downstream price signal as far as a rational employer is concerned. While they might try to influence it to alter the supply of potential workers in their favor, it is by no means their responsibility to do so. A

> Buy Now Pay Later for consumer goods is obviously bad. On the contrary it frees up significant economic resources, and so is obviously good. But access to capital, like the good itself, isn't free. In both cases: Don't buy wh

Wikipedia: "A commodity is an economic good (...) that has full or substantial fungibility. (...)" On the basis of geography alone, housing can not be a commodity.

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but is this not the equivalent of saying "You can't fire me - I quit"? Are there any practical consequences from this besides symbolism?

This is not, and have never been, the case. Certain markets are winner-take-all, which necessitates a growth-oriented strategy regardless of the stock market. In the general case, the value of a stock only dips if the risk-adjusted net pres

None of the people I know involved with crypto, including miners, daytraders, and HODLers, have not crushed the market in the last nine years. Also, if mainstream crypto is a Ponzi scheme, how is fiat currency not?

Not really? Context matters and all that. I have yet to encounter someone mistaking crypto[graphy] for crypto[currency] or the other way around. It’s just that finance is more relevant than encryption in most conversations where the partici

I think lichess.org is far superior in that it has a super-polished UX in ways that are not immediately obvious. After I made the switch from chess.com in 2014 (I had the paid features), it was always extremely annoying to come back. Also l

The fact that blockchains are used by criminals is definitive proof that it improves upon traditional financial infrastructure also in legitimate use cases where trust is an issue. I.e., blockchains are an indisputable success from a techno

The man-made part is one thing, but it's also important to distinguish evidence from proof. While this is absolutely an interesting, cool and curious observation, it is also circumstantial and should be treated as such. (Edit: As prese
