I’m being downvoted for each comment I make on the topic but anyway … I found a source article [0] about how the Bureau adjusts the cost for features with a “hedonic” score. So yes, a new feature (a Netflix app? AI? Voice recognition? Sound

That does sound right. But imagine we're plotting the cost of a laptop from 2015 to 2025. We're getting say 4x the memory and 4x better speed (if not more), but would we show a graph that indicates laptops are 4x cheaper in 2025 t

Right, but imagine that with cars not TVs. To show the cost change of a car from 2000 to 2020 I wouldn't show the cost of a 2000-quality car in 2020. I'd show the actual median cost of a car in 2020.

I'm not a big fan of the price graph in the article. Are TVs really 90% cheaper since 2020 than they were in 2000? The product seems to me to be one of those that always costs the same, you just get more for a similar amount of money a

I don’t know what the best case scenario is. Perhaps it is simply to avoid the likely case scenarios. As I see it, the great risk of temperature increases such as this would be the collapse of food chains that we ultimately rely upon.

Yes, sure. Just imagine being somewhere 5-10C warmer and a few hundred metres higher in elevation than where you are now.

In my country, there are no apps like this. Instead, there are agency cartels that charge the hospital twice what they pay the nurse.

Fascinating. Thank you for providing the paper. As someone with moderate aphantasia, it didn’t even occur to me that people performed “mental rotation” versus “analytic” strategies.

Like GP, I remember doing these spatial reasoning puzzles as a kid, I thought as part of school curriculum. Like you, I have aphantasia. Unlike you, I’m very good at spatial puzzles like this. Hmm.
