That is our current trajectory, but anyone with a modicum of common sense knows there is an end. The question, which was what my comment was about, is how we eventually get to the end. We either buck up and pay it, or we crash and burn. I&

The other option is they raise taxes, cut spending and they actually pay those debts off. All debt comes due eventually, you can choose to go bankrupt or you can choose to pay it. But if neither option happens in your lifetime, you don&#x27

SQLite has been around for a very long time, it is easily the worlds most deployed SQL database. Litestream is just a way to do live sync/replication to make HA easier. There are certainly use cases where SQLite is not a good fit. Th

Right, for a SQLite based app, you are mostly limited to 1 instance running at any given time(there are multi-node stuff shoved behind SQLite done by 3rd parties, but that's a whole diff. can of worms). The point being, you run 1 insta

Well in theory, it could be done, if one were willing to do it for 50-100 years. I.e. you'd have to indoctrinate the young for at least 1 generation, but probably 2-3 generations into power. I don't see anyone having that long of

It's still all access control, I don't really see a difference. Yes SSH access could perhaps give you access to more things, with less fine-grained permissions, but it just depends on the replacement(s). The overall point should

Temporary defaults have happened in the history of the US govt, it's not exactly breaking news. Other governments have as well. Long term default is an entirely different matter. Obviously you default temporarily enough times and peop

Personally, I think it matters a lot on why you are wanting long term treasuries(LTT). There are lots of competing ideas around ownership. If you just want bonds, then LTT may not be the best move, it just depends. BND would be a better g

Sure, there are different asset classes that might be OK, but if you look across the landscape, bonds are still quite nice to have. Bonds are just converting today's money to future cashflow. TIPS are inflation adjusted bonds, so you c

Not really, they are somewhat correlated, but they are not completely correlated. Duration has a lot to do with it as well. Look up Long Term Treasuries(TLT/EDV are funds that hold these) and compare that to US stocks like VTI. Bonds a

I never talked about asset allocation, you did, but going 100% equities to 0% equities is not reasonable either. Yes you probably want some bonds, but you still need some equities. The default answer is something around 20% to 60% equities

If you are doing any sort of volume on CC's you should setup your own merchant agreement with a bank, and do your own CC processing. That way you are not beholden to Stripe(or any other) CC processing merchant agreement. Yes, the pape

Most nice brokerages will cover the float for the settlement as long as you don't try to withdraw the money outside of the brokerage. Also it's T+2 days now in the USA at least. So this is mostly a non-issue in practice and has no

You can, but your repo would almost certainly not validate well, if it even worked. Just depends on the changes you make I guess.

Yes, the ability hasn't made it to the CLI (yet?), but the web GUI does honour the hidden flag. If you run `fossil timeline --sql`, you can then change the sql to skip the hidden flag, though I'm not sure where in the commit that

Fossil's perspective is deleting/altering and tampering with history is a terrible idea. Some code shops have legal or policy mandates that disallow them from altering history anyway. My employer is such a place. Yes we have a f

First, it's discouraged in Fossil, because the right way to do it is to just hide stuff in your "select" view(generally the dashboard in the web UI), so it only shows the stuff you want anyway, i.e. everything is visible, but

You can hide those commits, you just can't delete/squash them. It's really not as big of a deal as everyone claims.

tldr; We don't know anything about inflation, we know less how UBI will or won't affect it and it doesn't matter anyways, because UBI will not become a thing anytime soon. People thought the same thing would happen with Socia

I generally agree, but if you go through the process at your bank and get your own merchant account(it's a long drawn out process), then the risk for the bank/visa/mastercard/etc is much, much less, and you can generally

by zie 4y ago
True, but that wasn't remotely my point. If you link the UBI to inflation(CPI-U or the like) it doesn't really matter if inflation goes up, so does the UBI payments. Some things are already linked to inflation like Taxes, Social S
