That is just factually wrong: "Blinder and Watson found that since 1945 the average inflation rate was higher under Republican presidents than under Democrats". Wages are also higher under Dems.
If that isn't the bistory of the world: a certainntype of man making others do things that are against their interest.
Trump has been elected by people who are all willing to pay more taxes so the maximum tax bracket can pay less. And his tarrifs: most economics agree who will pay the brink of that.
It is not because of Biden/Harris. Trump will not make it better, in fact he will make it much, much worse.
That is the point. General public either does not understand or does not want to understand the nuances. That is the unfortunate situation we are in. To them, they are unable to afford stuff, Biden is the president, so he is to blame. And Trump capitalized on it completely.
Politics is largely not a logical game, it is an emotional/knee-jerk-reaction game. If it was logical, nobody would ever vote for people like Cruz, Trump, Boebert etc.
Trump will likely make it better by making the gas price hold at below $3 per gallon like it was for nearly all of his Presidency. This will reduce the price of food.
Less than 10% market share= crushed? These arm plans were initiated either before or when Zen was in its infancy. Amazon and others are going to have a real tough time competing with Genoa/Bergamo in server. ISA is unimportant, just ask Jim Keller or Mike Clark, it's all about execution and I'm sorry but you're not going to be able to compete with a team like AMD's. Apple's consumer chips are alright but they are never getting more than 20% of pc market share and are about to be embarrassed by Phoenix APUs. Oh and to the guy here claiming smart phones will replace pcs, go try and type an essay, play a AAA game, browse the internet with multiple tabs, music and discord on all at once on an iphone.
Amazon doesn't have to compete with AMD on performance, only on TCO. Not having to pay Jim Keller's salary is a good way to reduce your TCO. Graviton generally does win on TCO for most applications today.
Also, if 30% of x86 market share corresponds to ~20% of "big processor" market share, that means that non-x86 cores have about 30% market share.
European companies are discovering the same thing, too. They have embraced ARM and RISC-V very strongly.
But will people value these knock offs the same as the one approved by the artists themselves? If I put a signed picture through a scanner would you pay for the scanned image even though you knew it was a copy? I would think it logical to assume there would at least be a big discount between the two showing there is value outside of it just being scarce, artificial or otherwise.
This is an opinion piece, not the views of the editors. They also have many opinions pieces in favor of universal healthcare and other ways to lower drug prices besides abolishing Medicare if you do some googling.
I am reading the article using the NYT android app, and "opinion" is not mentioned anywhere, I copied the url and checked it on a browser, there is no opinion tag, and the url had no /opinion/ segment. So, I don't think this one is an opinion piece.
It's some column they're calling "Economic Views" with the description saying it's "A column that explores life through an economic lens with leading economists and writers." They probably should put that it's an opinion on the top of the article just to be clear upfront.
The Ethereum core devs didn't unilaterally decide to roll back the blockchain, that's not how the governance system works. The majority of the community decided to return the funds, the dissenters left and formed Ethereum Classic. The community decides what is law, not the code or the devs.
These days it is about anything can meme and get people to make fomo-driven buys of crypto at spot prices.
It used to be about decentralized peer-to-peer money that is highly resistant to censorship.
Then that got blown to bit because satoshi didn’t possess enough foresight to realize that one day it will get owned by a handful of people who will leverage the artificial scarcity to conduct endless pump-and-dumps to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor.
How do you think Satoshi would have reacted to the current state of affairs? You think he would see this “cryptocurrency” space as the path to solving the problem of money and corruption in finance?
It’s almost like the finance system we have today is the result of complex adaptation. It’s not perfect, but it seems less corrupt, more stable, more approachable, and more useful than the crypto space.
Definitely. Cryptocurrency had a chance to be very useful (to society) in a niche but then it blew up in scope. Now, everyone seems to have missed the forest for the trees.
You can’t fix fundamental problems in modern economics by fixating on the properties of money which can be altered (presumably for the better) through technology?
The governance process is essentially democratic, it's been like that since the beginning. Many, probably most, of the strict "code is law" are more aligned with bitcoin and left after the DAO fork.
I think the Bitcoin community give the rest of the space a bad name. There are too many people with fringe libertarian views in that space that dominate the narrative. Ethereum, I've found is a much more interesting space. It's valuable because you can actually use the blockchain for things more complicated than just sending coins around. As stupid as many of the NFTs are right now, they have the potential to completely change how the art, music and gaming industries are monetized. Defi has a huge potential to make banking more efficient and provide banking services to underserved areas as long as they have an internet connection.
