This time displacement of value service is exactly why the industry is financialized. Of course, the financialization creates a huge moral hazard and introduces middlemen that take…

I agree with you. The island simplification came later. If the economy is broken, gold is not a good investment. This doesn’t change the fact that it is also non-extractive of futu…

It depends on how the problem is defined. Do private pensions solve the “I hope I have money in old-age” problem better in a fundamental way? No. Do they solve the “I want to pay m…

Yes, a nonzero quantity of labor is necessary to avoid a pathological economy? This is not debated. The question is how the future value is priced. The original assertion was that …

You have demonstrated only that the thought experiment is dependent on the future market for a commodity and not on some future labor being exploited. Value in the future is depend…

Yes, it could be! Life is risky. Nothing is guaranteed. I’d rather have the market set the rate of redistribution than have it done by fiat in a completely unsustainable way.

In your simplification, you have removed everything that isn’t labor (i.e. demand for commodities) as well as labor. It is unsurprising that working to bury gold is a bad investmen…

If you redefine everything as deriving value from labor and labor alone, OK. Government intervention is not a given, is not universal, and its impact on labor isn’t unique. There a…

Why must the money come from future labor? Money can be saved and invested. Let them eat their capital and not their young.

I use it with WireGuard.

I contributed improved ipset support to this project. As far as I know, it’s one of the few off-the-shelf DNS servers that can insert result records into Linux ipsets to enable dom…

We agree. You don’t want universal computation in your configuration. Your “gas” approach is the right one and very weak computationally. I further posit that you don’t even want t…

The article did not advocate for a TC config language. I think Ruud would probably have been happy with a total primitive recursive language.

I recommend creating a pyclass over a struct that stores the converted data. Instantiate it once and then repeatedly call a function on it in a pymethods impl with the parameters t…
