> This is because they don't understand that it does not run in reverse. It is not symmetrical. They underestimate the pain of a deflationary shock, where everyone (namely your emp…

Eh, I'll bite. I haven't read the source but for one, there wasn't really even a US dollar until 1935. When banks failed, and they did unlike now when they artificially don't, you …

Yes, it's just a shiny piece of metal. However, it is a pure element and there is a limited amount of it, unlike pretty much anything else except maybe silver. Otherwise this happe…

Ah sorry our contractor did all that highly illegal stuff. Too bad we can't pierce the corporate veil anymore... shucks.

That would be like saying that you can verify the software that CERN uses to measure the Higgs Boson because we verified general relativity.

Basically the modern web uses orchestration, for pretty much everything. Usually Kubernetes is doing that. Theoretically protocols like RAFT are formally verifiable, but their impl…

You can't formally verify anything that uses consensus, which is the backbone of the entire web. It's a complete non-starter.

I laughed out loud when he said Cloudflare should have formally verified its systems.

I have worked at several ruby shops and everyone has used heavy IDEs like RubyMine and VSCode, jump to's and language server are far too important.

I mean arguing with tankies is just No True Scotsman ad infinitum, so I'm good to stop this here. Best

What specific way is history being "erased"?

Ever heard of the Little Rock Nine?

It's really fundamentally unimportant what you specifically believe. What is important is what people your age in the aggregate believe. This is an undeniable truth. It's therefore…

Without some kind of coherent post-Marxist revolutionary understanding of what communism is, this is just pure delusion. Most people don't have the ability to synthesize grand idea…

Politics is a team sport..? I have nothing in common with tankies, sorry.

Okay here's a secret that you probably won't hear other than in some books that are hard to find. The youth desire a strong executive. They don't yet understand why it can be a bad…

And in turn federal district judges have signed a lot more nationwide injunctions? Orders of magnitude more than had ever been issued? And now they are using a protected class loop…

Burning American flags is free speech? It's definitely an interpretation... and one that many legal scholars disagree with, similar to Roe v Wade. Not that repealing Roe v Wade was…

We are all Americans. I however don't want to be constantly re-told why our great, if flawed, history makes WASP Americans out to be the bad guys at every turn.

But it's obvious when people say "dictatorship" or "fascism" today in the USA it is just a dog whistle for not liking Trump. Nobody called Obama a fascist for how Chelsea Manning w…

So it wasn't political hacks that tried to add their left spin to every piece of American history that they could get their hands on? Not trying to be offensive, but the tone of ho…

Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning were both pursued aggressively during the Obama administration. Next, please. I can go all day

Yeah, it's politics. He assumes it will get appealed to the supreme court who will take his side. I personally don't like the Texas v Johnson decision. Burning flags is un-American…

The executive branch has that right. It's happened many many times in the past. I recommend reading a history book and not MSM or social media
