Fractional reserving is taken as something that is good and wonderful, but before you had the fed who could print money at will, you had banking crashes caused by it on a regular basis. In a fixed money supply currency, fractional reserve b

The bank created money because the borrower can use the money to settle other debts. When the creditor that the debtor repays with the credit card deposits those payments in bank accounts they become bank deposits in other banks. The hospit

The hyperinflation situation, like in Argentina or Zimbabwe occurs because the money floods into foreign exchange to buy imports from people who demand dollars. The exporting countries demand dollars because the dollar can be used to buy o

Credit cards are collateral free. In contrast, when people get medical bills they also owe debt, but the hospital didn't create any money.

Because they think they are banks and all banks fractionally reserve. Fractionally reserving is not a law of nature, it's a scam that only works because the fed can print money as needed to bail out banks when there's a bank run.

>"So the dollar is only worth something because people agree it is." The article was good, but that part is wrong. The dollar is worth something because you need it to pay taxes. You can squat in a tent in the woods and eat n

I just thought of something, but it's too late to edit the above comment. In San Francisco they have a sanctioned open air drug market. It doesn't make much sense if you're trying to get these people off drugs, but if you a

More taxes are not the answer. In California, government employees get paid far more there than any other state and vs their private sector counterparts, have enormous pensions and are now the predominant members of the middle class in Ca

The conventional wisdom in the U.S is that the only way to fix transit is to vote for politicians who will increase spending on transit projects. This ideology of just spend more money has lead to spiraling costs in health care, education,

This is like saying in 1941 Stalin signed the non-aggression pact because he wanted Hitler to destroy Russia. Capable narcissists are in it for the glory. It's only toxic narcissists, who are not good at anything, that like to destro

YTD I'm up more than 300% on my options trading account. Options trading is making bets. The way I make bets is in regards to unusual news events. The events that made me the most money this year were Powell raising interest rates i

To me it looks like they broke search to only return mainstream stuff for any search with any connection to an official narrative. Pagerank is the opposite of that. That could be why Sergei and Larry aren't doing much work these days

Friendster and Myspace failed because of scalability problems and lack of features compared to the alternatives. Mastodon has both of those.

The American solution to something being too expensive is to spend twice as much money on it.

Search doesn't really work on Mastodon and it's full of boring content. It only works if you can get all your friends to use the same server. That's impossible these days. Nobody is going to install and figure out an anoth

The line between public and private has been blurring very badly since 2016. People are treating Twitter like it's an extension of the executive branch and somehow it's illegal for Musk to just buy it and run it how he sees fit.

The reason that communism thrives in racially homogenous societies like North Korea, 20th century Russia or China is because it requires people to believe that everyone is roughly equal and that they only have different economic outcomes be

The other problem with functional programming is it's harder to look at code and figure out the time complexity. At least with non-functional languages I can easily figure out why there are performance problems with it. Stuff like la

It's not China or Russia's fault. It's the consequence of the ideology that says common people are too stupid to make the right choices in their own best interests and there must be an inner group of enlightened know-it-alls

Secrecy, censorship and propaganda are a great combo if you want to produce awful political outcomes. If you forbid freedom of speech, that's basically the same as saying people are too stupid to make their own decisions. This leads t

If your politics don't conflict with Elon's irreconcilably, and you don't get fired, I'd think it'd probably be a better situation than before. Elon is not a bad chief executive and has run several highly successfu

The job of a good lawyer is to predict what the judge is going to say after the client has wasted his money on litigating. The main purpose of going all the way to trial is if someone is lying. Then that's the job of the jury to dete

I am a fan of the Singapore anti-corruption method of paying bureaucrats a lot of money. That way they don't have to have corruption side hustles and you can attract good talent to these positions. Somehow this is more unpopular than
