Malthus is the butt-joke of economics, so much it became a rite of passage to mock him. Marx's Capital and Henry George's Poverty and Progress dedicate some time to his humiliation.

The margins on a grocery store are very low, it would be crazy to try to haggle there.

In a farmer's market, they probably throw away half the produce, the margin is more in the quantity of goods than in the price, so it would always be better to try to get more goods for free than to put price down!

To whom?

> Man, you people who when babies are being exploded and apartment buildings attacked with missiles, an entire nation being invaded, who ask these questions about inconveniencing citizens of the attacking nation, are you even real?

I dont understand the point of conflating a nation and its citizens here. There are Russians that live in the US, and americans that live in Russia. There are warmongers in all countries, as pacifists in all countries.

> The next time the USA invades someone I welcome for you to destroy my financial life and drive my family and I into subsistence farming if it helps to stop us. You have my permissions.

Can we put this into a contract? I'm more than willing to be the recipient of your funds if this came to pass.

I think its pretty rational to blame your censor, not your censor's enemy.

Is this an acceptable strategy?

There's an ethical argument against it: "hey lets punish innocent civilians so they attack the real enemy" and a practical argument: "hey russia started the conflict, but didnt cut-off your internet, that was a US company that sees you as their enemy"

I would not say this online, my man.

There are so many options!

My favorite conceptually is a dead-man switch. For example, something will have a password only you have, as long as you input you are alive every x days. If you die, eventually it switches to another password someone else might have.

It really is amazing to think how hard it is to keep something safe, once you are tasked with it.

This article looks like it was mangled by a translator.

It mentions > its headquarters had about 1,600 employees, mostly midcareer hires... The average pay is about 9.6 million yen.

Also the job description does not mention software engineers, but "logistics" and such.

I think it is 8.8 million yen for non-tech salaries.

Says the person that didn't make their own forks

This is changing and will change. There are more startups and more access to startups with great products that will create the next generation of tech-stars.

This was not true 20 years ago where most of the work was software factories and nickel/diming big-cos

In every country it always is and must be the interest of the great body of the people to buy whatever they want of those who sell it cheapest.

- Adam Smith, 1776.

It is not in the interest of american people to make goods and services consumed by americans more expensive.

See: Tariffs, Mercantilism, Imports.

In 2010, being an independent developer for a startup in the US in argentina meant a 2-3k monthly wage. It is now at 5~6k, and plenty of opportunities to make 10k monthly.

Bear in mind this pays <5% tax and you can maintain a whole family, pay for a house, food etc for 2k a month.

This arbitrage has always been there and its become way easier to manage after the remote shift.

> Which is why we should nationalize it to drive down the cost since there is currently no downward pressure on pricing.

Strongly disagree. The state is already in the market with Medicare and it is not significantly cheaper. It has shown that as a player it doesn't not know how to deliver care cost-effectively.

The reasons why health is expensive is reg capture on many layers: too few doctors because of licensing and immigration restrictions, pharma restrictions on importation, tax incentives to bundle insurance with employer, the high cost of medical malpractice lawsuits and insurance, hospital incumbent regulation like fed funding or CONS, etc.

None of those things are solved with a government program that maintains those restrictions. The only thing necessary is to literally do less. Cap malpractice, remove immigration and licensing restrictions for physicians, remove FDA limitations on imports, remove federal funding from colleges and hospitals, etc. That will drive price enormously in a short span of 5 years, while also reducing the amount of admin and funding cost in government.

At the current market structure the only way I see a revolution in healthcare is with the Uberification of health: something that really spits in the eye of all regulation and gets things done anyway at cheap rates. Think telemedicine from 3rd world countries, generic drug imports through retail contraband, etc.

I worked in the industry, i'm 100% sure that dereg is the way to go.

> but homeowners are very concerned with quality of life —

That's my original point. When an argument is made that nimby are doing this for money, I think its off-target.

Oh wow I know the citrusbyte people, I didnt know about this!

Does it matter? If you want to achieve maximum dwellings for renting, changing the distribution of units / owners doesn't seem like a practical way to go about it.

You would want to make more units, as many as possible.

Why tax, just make it illegal? Isn't that what you really want to achieve?

I don't get this thinking. What is the difference between one landlord with 2 properties or 2 landlords each with one property? Why is the latter better than the former?

> When housing becomes an investment, the goal is to get that sweet ROI which generally means working to restrict the supply of housing to make prices rise. Lobbying is a high-ROI activity.

There are many ways to lobby that increase both the value of real estate and make the system better. For example, you could lobby for a visa for immigrant construction workers, which will reduce the cost to build.

> And housing doesn’t need to be expensive.

Definitions matter, but that's my original point. Construction companies in JApan also have a sweet ROI or they wouldn't build at all, you can achieve multiple goals. The current market structure is in good part a result of regulatory capture, but housing will remain profitable in multiple other structures. If it stopped being profitable, it would be impossible to build, and you wouldnt be able to improve or create new supply which is definitely the worst result long term.

> dystopian outcomes (see also healthcare

Healthcare is the **show it is precisely because it is NOT a free market by any practical or theoretical definition.

I want to mention one more thing about the narrative that Nimbyism is an investment topic. It really isn't: it is in the landlords interest to get more construction going, because more people increase the value of land, it doesn't decrease it. That is why land in a city is worth more than in a rural town. A SFH owner turned into the low owner of an 8 appt complex is way richer, as in 10X. At the tokyo example, it is close to 10k per square meter of land! https://www.statista.com/statistics/875736/japan-average-lan...

Housing is an investment in the sense that you need a certain amount of capital to create one, and in that sense you want to allocate it the best way possible: the best value at the best prices. There's no better way to do that than with markets.

Housing will always be expensive in one way or the other, but you can make it cheaper and more plentiful. And that should be the goal.

If you believe restrictions construction increases value for your property, why do you think a house in the middle of nowhere is worth so little with such a strong monopoly?

This is exceedingly equivocal economics.

Housing can increase price and also become affordable.

I've done at least 20 upgrades (user since next 1.0) and it is getting easier and easier to migrate.

It is definitely an awkward design choice, but image services often generate the images on demand, by having one and creating the otherones at request + caching. A static build does not have the capacity to cache images, unless it generates a really large number of them during build!

Hey Lee. I am not entirely sure how server-side components replace the dynamic/static balance next.js is now the market standard for.

1) Do the .server files require any special infrastructure for self hosted solutions?

2) If we move to ISR to a component level, would that mean that a page with multiple components will generate a backend-process thrash of multiple refreshes? (say 10 components, each with a revalidate 1 s)

3) Is there a good mapping to translate ISR to server side components from both UX and infrastructure/implementation?

Yes, but you are liquidating the companies they own. If you consume them, they become much smaller, which means they have less employees, less work, less income, etc.

This is consuming capital for expenditures, which will in a macro view reduce wages in the long term.

It's a very small bounty...missing at least 2 zeros considering the scope of Tether's supply.
