That's why there should be no banks, only money market funds. Every deposit is an investment decision. You may as well reap the rewards if you take all the risks of lending and cut out the middleman. I've been using a brokerage ac

It's probably more that capital has become more and more abundant relative to need for capital (whether through wealth accumulation or more advanced financial infrastructure), so of course it has become cheaper and cheaper.

Interest rates have yet to respond because they are being held down actively by central banks. Those are not market forces.

You don't own the share you lend as in it's no longer your property, but you own a new contract claim against the brokerage house whom you lent to. As with any loan, this is newly created financial property. It acts and is priced

The risk is priced. That's the excess interest (above the risk-free rate) embedded in the asset value. I should also add that it's not the case that the bank "no longer has" the money lent out. The bank doesn't actu

The bank has an "asset" in their account that is the debt note from you. This asset has the value of the money you borrowed, plus interest, and it can be sold for that. One dollar just became two. (If it's a mortgage it'

You need unknowable amounts of capital to pull this off. $300 could be $600 tomorrow (as example).

That's the problem though. Other than companies founded by introverted nerds, most of the corporate world is led by extroverts who set the norm and it won't be working from home.

What about code people wrote before 2010 that were perfectly fine? Are you going to have people rewrite research algorithms whose original authors have long graduated? Just because industry has a habit of rewriting the whole stack every fiv

Academia doesn't have unlimited budget to do migrations that don't solve any pressing problems. I guess now there is a pressing problem, but more likely people will maintain the old version of pip locally.

There were massive amounts of cheap (and cheaper) labor elsewhere. What happened to those places?

Was this hidden in the audio or just some garbage noise?

That's the dumb ML practice of those companies, not Facebook. Also even an irrelevant ad probably converts through brand exposure alone. They are forced to fork over to compete for limited exposure.

People watch each other to synchronize. Problem with network latency is the visual latency isn't any better than aural latency, unlike on a stage.

That's why they rely on light in addition to sound: watching the conductor, watching each other.

Because it's for speech. Read the article, it talks about echo cancellation and compression, none of which you want for music.

Latency isn't physically solvable though. You'll need another network not the internet.

It's implicitly stating a lot: that by using these techniques you can grease social situations to your advantage. Which is why "boss" likes this guy, certainly not because of his half-baked ideas.

Wrong. It was all over Reddit but people laughed over it.

The reason is the US has more infections than almost anywhere else so the enemy is already inside.

Are you asking the same question about what is supposedly an even safer investment, as in are the Americans really long-term interested in honoring its foreign debt? That has quite a bit of ramification beyond shore.

Banking, healthcare, education are considered public goods by some.

Left or right? No no, it's got nothing to do with that. They're in trouble because they've now got enemies in power. Did you notice things only move when those in power are threatened?

Not going to happen. Once you think you've got everything locally, exponentially more will be generated anew by everyone.

What do you do with errors within the latest increment? A shelf of annual HDD's doesn't sound too bad otherwise.

That's true, at some level of abstraction you stop caring practically about openness. That line has shifted, and it points to hardware being commoditized more than lock-in. Do you care who made your logic gates or if it's document
