If they were comparable that might be true, but they are not interchangeable.

This is good data, but I am guessing it does not take into account the gig economy which I wonder what the effect of that is.

Cost always comes up around nuclear, and maybe justifiably so, but I think it shouldn't be such a large factor. The U.S. for example could easily afford this. We just passed a $700B bill for clean energy and heavily subsidize oil &am

Leaders have power through influence . Unless you are suggesting Biden has no influence, which in his specific case unfortunately might have some truth. But that's not generally the case with the president of the US.

Which is not true either, as the dip we've seen over the past several weeks can attest. We've deeply tapped into our reserves (much more than expected as released yesterday) to achieve this. It seems like it might be short sight

Which is largely irrelevant.

You can't look at the oil market in isolation like that. Saudi was dumping oil at that point, producing way more than necessary. So much so futures went negative. That is not the case today.

It's been suggested the employment is because people are being forced to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet, not because there are more people getting jobs. Gas affects the prices of nearly everything in the economy so I have no i

Are those positions real? It feels like once the model didn't work if you did not have the background to know why it wasn't working then you'd be in trouble real quick.

It's not absurd at all. It already happens on a large portion of computing devices in existence (iOS).

It can also be harmful and unless you admit that you aren’t being honest based on history.

It’s also very difficult if not impossible to calculate generally and many people tend to vastly overestimate their personal contribution to value generation.

Correct, but a shortage works in favor of the employee. No Union needed.

Except value you generate is not a good metric for salary. If I have an employee that generates 100M a year, but I have boundless applicants that can perform that same task then the unfortunate reality is that person is not that valuable.

Personally looking at their pricing since it is so tied to AWS it is completely non-transparent how much it's going to cost us now or in the future. I really like the concept of datomic though.

I'm not taking a stance on the overall issue, but this is such a flawed comparison because a baby is dependent solely on the mother and not a large pool of potential donors.

The market is not narrowly focused on next quarters performance. That is a total myth in my experience. Investors want growth and they think long term. They are willing to invest in companies that do not have profitability because of whe

I work with experts in the business domain, often C-Suite as a consultant. I've come to understand the domains almost as well as them for the companies I work with. While this knowledge is invaluable, and critical to getting the solu

It’s also not how the market works at all. Just look at Teslas PE ratio.

The limit on Bitcoin that I saw early on was market cap, liquidity, and stability. As the first two rise, so should the third. It's been a long grind to the market cap today and it still has a ways to go. But to build up that momentu

It's good news if demand stays strong at a certain price point. If we are in a highly inflation environment and demand does not drop however that is not so good.
983.
by nightski 4y ago
That's kind of the point. We haven't seen demand drop yet which is further driving inflation.

By increasing rates on USD you can affect demand globally. We are not in isolation as you seem to be so convinced. Also I have no idea why you'd compare global supply to domestic demand. Again, reserve currency and petrodollar statu

Supply issues can be alleviated with less demand, which is precisely what the fed attempts by raising interest rates. So your logic about not printing dollars not having an effect isn’t spot on imo. You also ignore the fact that USD is the

See you in 10 years, when we are still arguing about nuclear taking 10 more years and still dependent on fossil fuels.

If you were mutating a variable then you'd probably be using the same variable, but in this case you cannot do that. Not trying to be argumentative just saying when you have to store the result in a completely different variable I do

Do you have an example of a list, which meets the mathematical definition, which would not be able satisfy the requirements of a monad? Meaning one could not write a bind or lift operation for that list?

by nightski 4y ago
I don't agree. Maybe let's use a different example to illustrate more clearly - the maybe monad. Let's pretend you have a series of functions a, b, and c which take a value of type X and return a value of type Maybe X. Wit
