sfe22··on U.S. inflation reached a new four-decade high of 8.6% in May
Thats also fine, especially if priced drop more. But even in a sane economy I would expect most would get raises as they work faster and better, even as prices fall.
sfe22··on U.S. inflation reached a new four-decade high of 8.6% in May
Felt off, but went with it. Looks like I made a new friend too xD.
sfe22··on U.S. inflation reached a new four-decade high of 8.6% in May
Yeah, but not any economy, to be a nightmare requires a nightmarish economy.
sfe22··on U.S. inflation reached a new four-decade high of 8.6% in May
Yeah, but guess who encourages debt.
sfe22··on U.S. inflation reached a new four-decade high of 8.6% in May
Deflation being much much worse is a nice joke. You telling me that if gas and food and rent lowered in price over time, I will be worse off? Stuff are supposed to become cheaper as technology advances yet we only either get high or low price increases, all to fund the rich in the government.
sfe22··on Why are nuclear power construction costs so high?
Zero percent or negative just means people involuntary pay by inflation. There is not free lunch (someone had to work to make it)
sfe22··on The idea of working in the office, all day, every day? No thanks, say workers
I am ok with unionization (even though it is price fixing, which is ultimately not a good thing to see), as long as noone is forced into that scheme.

If you don’t like that manifestation, you can work for another company that does not do it, or start your own. We are still a freeish market fortunately. So we’ll get to know which one is better thankfully soon.
sfe22··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
Sure thing. You are just as welcome.
sfe22··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
Yeah that’s why i said believe in. Whether you tend to believe if fewer is better, or more is better. To me it seemed like you belong to the former, and thats why i made a specific question which you are actively avoiding answering.
sfe22··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
I have no problem with that. My response was in his statement that he does not believe in free markets.
sfe22··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
You said you are far from being fan of capitalism. Free market means as many companies as needed. The opposite is one company only controlling everything, most commonly irl in form of communism.
sfe22··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
You somehow believe that having only one corporation will yield better results for the society, instead of many companies competing in a free market? (Where you can also compete if you think your better)
sfe22··on Ask HN: Is anyone else glad the crypto market is crashing?
Yes, if the people want to use their notes. We also suggest getting rid of kings and communist party for decentralized democracies.
sfe22··on A common sunscreen ingredient turns toxic in the sea – anemones suggest why
Right, looks like we have a bigger problem to fix before looking into the carbon problem.
sfe22··on A common sunscreen ingredient turns toxic in the sea – anemones suggest why
Maybe we do indeed need that tax. My only request would be the decision to be democratic and making sure the revenue doesn’t go to to the monopoly that injected people with plutonium. Instead it can be used to reverse the damage and with any excess being returned to their rightful earners.
sfe22··on Tell HN: I was permanently banned from eBay in one hour
It mentions “by the people” however the roles and the power exists without people’s continued consent, which makes the words worthless.
sfe22··on Boston University Undergraduate Costs Reach $80k
You make the weird assumption that any law requires a big monopoly that meddles in everything. Not true. Anti-slavery law covers the ability to discharge with bankruptcy.
sfe22··on Tell HN: I was permanently banned from eBay in one hour
That is just in popular culture. In theory and reality, there in no need for your or any other American’s blessing for the feds, congress, president or even judges to exist and have power.
sfe22··on Boston University Undergraduate Costs Reach $80k
Interest rates should depend on the market. Why you want to artificially meddle in everything? Solutions for student loans is simple. Stop government guarantees, and get rid of the government law that makes it not dischargeable. Government caused the problem and you ask for another government “solution”
sfe22··on Google Trends for NFT
It’s just the v2 take on the crypto hype. There is no real need for 99.9% of the crypto yet they got value.
sfe22··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
Good definition. But we are not a free market country, so you gotta play by the current rules.
sfe22··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
You can be libertarian and accept government subsidies. It’s not like he could have kept the recent $11B if he did not accept the subsidies. If he believes in libertarianism and would pick freedom over oppression given the choice, then he is a libertarian. He was given no choice.
sfe22··on Amazon adds 5% ‘fuel and inflation surcharge’ to seller fees
Maybe they are a “monopoly” because of the cheap and good services they provide. The only bad monopolies are the ones using violence to hold on to it. Examples include mafia, terrorists, talibans, governments etc.
sfe22··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
Yep, and the government enables and facilitates this malicious action for all statists that wonder what regulation could fix it.
sfe22··on Corruption Has Shaped History. Why Do We Still Ignore It?
As long as we have automatic rulers (countries with automatically powerful government) corruption will be there. Basically corruption is profitable so that is why it happens. If we had democracy, it will go down significantly, because is is not profitable to corrupt the majority. You have to offer them more than the damage you will do to them with your actions, which is unprofitable, and maybe not corruption at that point since you made a deal with the “to be harmed” people, not their ruling minority.
sfe22··on $625M worth of ETH drained on Axie Infinity's Ronin Network
But bitcoin can be mixed, how do you decide which of the next transactions contain your part of stolen bitcoins?
sfe22··on Tricon CEO hoards 30000+ single family homes in US/Canada
While I am confident prospective communist leaders are malicious, and want more easy power/wealth for themselves, without caring about the damage to everyone else, I apologize for trying to compare you to them this early in the conversation.
sfe22··on Tricon CEO hoards 30000+ single family homes in US/Canada
In a free market an entity has to be efficient to survive and especially make a profit. There are plenty of ways they can do it, creating more housing, better conditions, extras etc. and other things potential customers may value and choose them.

Care to reply to this: > Why advocate for one big monopoly unless you have a potentially malicious agenda?

And why you won’t create a non-profit company if you actually believe in what you preach?

sfe22··on Tricon CEO hoards 30000+ single family homes in US/Canada
Why is someone being more efficient than alternative and making a profit a bad thing? Besides you are free to create a non profit housing company, if you truly believe in what you preach. And you will have an edge with prospective customers. Why advocate for one big monopoly unless you have a potentially malicious agenda?
