When you lend money at 1% but market rates are 30% then you are, in fact, losing money. Except under your definition you are not losing money.

Isn’t the point that US individuals pay it in order to incentivise them to make products locally?

If you exclude mortgage payments or rent then living in London is probably cheaper than living in most places in the US. We don’t have significant real estate taxes, my annual expenses on housing exc rent or mortgage payments (energy, servi

On a tangent to the article- I quit my career just over two years ago now: same age as author, live in London too. The hardest thing about not working is the social life that work gives you. Whilst we may think that work is for money, it is

This is a great example of there being no intelligence under the hood.

To all those people that think IBM don't know anything. Calculate this number: # companies 100+ years old / # companies ever existed in 100+ years Then you will see why IBM is pretty special and probably knows what they are doing.

As evidenced by the fact that they are a 100+ year old company that still exists. People forget that.

How about check out how many companies exist today vs existed in 1958? If you look at it that way then just surviving is an achievement in itself and then you might interpret their actions as extremely astute business acumen.

Given power and price constraints, it's not that you cannot run them in 5 years time it's that you don't want to run them in 5 years time and neither will anyone else that doesn't have free power.

There's a big difference between: "creating goods of actual value" and "creating goods of actual value for any price" I don't think it's controversial that these things are valuable but rather the cost to

I heard from a frontier coder at deepmind that Gemini, whilst not great at novel frontier coding, is actually pretty good at debugging. Wonder if someone is going to automate a bug bounty pipeline with AI tools.

Couple comments having read gist of comments here: 1) It's not about bad regulation either: it may be impossible to design good regulation "The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about w

It's because Erdogan is in charge and he's throwing his weight around because he knows he holds the cards on a number of geopolitical issues.

"It [starlink] does not have licensed operations in Myanmar, but at least hundreds of terminals have been smuggled into the Southeast Asian nation." So how do starlinks work in Myanmar if it's not licensed?

Exposed concrete, in a building with challenging engineering around wind, in an environment with regular freezing temperatures. Sounds like it was bound to happen even with that ash. The repair cost sounds cheap tbh.

There are many comments on here trying to justify why EVs lose value quickly. Why is it simply not the case that the price falls quickly because the market only clears at lower prices? Perhaps the demand curve just isn't there for EVs

I would love to see this navigating central London on a Saturday night. It is a mind draining nightmare. Also, the small streets which are one car wide, and where one often needs to look far ahead to see whether there's a gap for you t

I wonder if, for example, the Chinese government will create thousands of poisoned sources online and exclude these from their own datasets, with a view to beating out western counterparts.

For those looking for a fix to US healthcare I think it's something like this: - (user incentive to reduce cost) insurance is structured as co-pay of [20+]% on all expenses, no exceptions - (price transparency) require healthcare provi

No regard for aesthetics of buildings for pitiful power generation. The German state has completely failed to provide users with cheap electricity and it continues to miss-step with incentivising this nonsense. Shame on them.

by m101 1y ago
This is exactly right. Germany has failed to provide low cost electricity at scale and has now incentivised placing panels everywhere, even on those beautiful balconies we once invested in. It is not surprising that you are being downvoted

Hello again. Saying it's false is a valid argument against something completely ludicrous like 680,000 dead. If you expect everyone to come up with "valid arguments" for blindingly obvious things then it is you who is not c

Are you surprised I'm being downvoted? I'm working towards my 500 karma so I can also start downvoting obvious nonsense like that comment but publicly correcting nonsense craters your karma.

Yes, agreed. So force them to leave the market over imposing financial penalties. Financial penalties correlate with correcting poor business behaviour, but also they correlate with poor regulator incentives towards revenue over harm. My ge

Yes, so from the point of view of the user was there evidence of actual harm?

by m101 1y ago
Some may think that harm doesn't matter, but perhaps actual fines are unjustified without the presence of actual harm. And yes, perhaps the rules should be followed regardless of what they are, but perhaps the government bureaucracy is

Central bank money printing is morally bad given it's largely used to bail out either irresponsible government spending, or irresponsible private sector actors. Central banks could reduce their balance sheets significantly more (and un
