I tend to agree with you that nations are essentially trying to optimize for wealth under their jurisdiction, but I don't think that _necessarily_ tells you anything about how they'll treat polygyny.

The idea is that if there is less supply, you ideally want there to also be less demand. If supply decreases but there's also a ton of cash splashing around, then people try to use it to get things... But there's not enough things

Because not all wealth is liquid, the future purchasing power of the money you'd get from the assets matters as well. We've seen about 11% inflation since 2019 already, but the m1 money supply increased by about 40% during this ti

The M1 money supply increased by 40% during that time though. We've already realized a ~10% increase in the CPI. Presuming that houses are included in this metric, those are currently pretty inflated in value. As of December 31st 2021,

Ultimately, the existing banking system will either eat crypto, or crypto will become the basis for the new banking system. It's not really any better or worse. People are excited about it now because the power structures aren't

Obviously "late-stage" is a continuum. Capitalism is always "progressing", and you can draw a line wherever you want and say: "That's it, that's where it crosses the line into what people will no longer

So, you're saying the crypto-industry is just like the banking industry?

I love my Ergodox EZ. I'd recommend a split keyboard to anybody who has their fingers on keys for more than a couple hours a day. My shoulders and upper back feel so much better, and I swear I even look better because my posture has i

You may be surprised to find that more than just your chair is affecting your back. For example, the standard height of almost every desk you'll get in the US is 29.5". This is just about perfect for someone who's 6 ft tall.

As far as American access to semiconductors goes, it doesn't matter if the takeover is peaceful or not. Chinese control over Taiwan could easily disrupt the supply chain through tariffs, export bans, backdoored hardware, etc etc.

I believe what he means by "universal" is the ability for the machine to recognize parts it has never physically encountered before (since it's trained on 3d models). It seems like increasing the number output bins shouldn&#x

In fairness though, the "package manager for package managers" functionality is arguably included in your OS package manager. Furthermore, as (e.g.) a node developer looking to share a package with the community, I'd much mai

If you're writing a bash package it'd probably be preferable to package for this rather than per-distro. By making it easier for maintainers, you get more packages - so maybe this is a good thing? As a user, I keep my dotfiles in

Well this is a great way to go from "some poor people have jobs and can barely afford rent" to "Why is everybody homeless now?".

In a country where it's comparatively unusual to need to live with your parents for financial reasons, the set of people living with their parents is composed mostly of those who live with them for nonfinancial reasons, like codepe

My landlord doesn't think he has a right or obligation to control my behavior. If I'm not making too much noise or destroying the apartment I can do whatever I want . I will never have to ask permission to throw a party, never

I am definitely not discounting the benefits. I'd have a lot more money if I lived with my parents. Still, I plan to avoid it because of the toll on my psychological well-being...

I would absolutely go back 100 years and live John Rockefeller's life. I certainly value a lot of the advancements we've made since then, but for me luxury means not having to work! I don't know if there's any reasona

I have to wonder if there are some imperfections in the simulation which cause it to evolve toward a blade that's optimal for the sim, but not as good in real life. He talks about 20 minute tests, and then later uses a 12 hour test and

Agreed. When I read the title, I was thinking "Oh, so you'd prefer to pay for dedicated servers? What a pain!". Though, I don't think the author is upset about the word . He's just warning against services that

Living in a van is probably cheaper, and probably saves time. I'd rather save 90% of my income and have a 10 minute commute than save less money and have a longer commute. If you don't particularly need a large space, why not?
