That was part of why it failed though. The over-engineering made it very hard to recover costs

it literally just squeezed juice out of a plastic packet, that's it.

Very nice! Just a note (as the site says on bottom left side), this can vary depending on the CPU you use, would be nice to be able to select all different variations of supported CPUs as a future feature.

Housing shortage is an example of poor capital availability.
mifreewil · 3 years ago
Housing shortage, at least in the US, isn’t really a problem of capital availability. It’s mostly due to local zoning regulations that make it very difficult to actually create housing, regardless of capital availability.

'markup growth”—the increase in the ratio between the price a firm charges and its cost of production—was a far more important factor driving inflation in 2021 than it has been throughout economic history.'

So the government tracks wages and unemployment, and sharply reacts when wages grow too fast.

But when it comes to profits, they can't even tax them correctly, let alone react to profits driving inflation.

Wouldn't agressive taxation be an alternative to raising interest rates in tackling inflation? Both reduce avaliability of capital.

Is there any reason why raising interest rate is 'fair' but a temporary 'inflation tax' is unfair?

Taxes don’t decrease the availability of capital, it simply re-distributes it to the politically-connected.

Every time I see a post like this - it’s like duh Israel has less people than just one state, Michigan, and there are 49 others.

How are we not out of IPv4 addresses already? Aren't there a billion phones out there? And probably the same number of PCs and god knows how many servers?
mifreewil · 5 years ago
Most of those devices only have a private IP address and use NAT to be able to communicate via the Internet.

Only servers that need to be publicly accessed directly like a web server actually need a public IP.
