I think what you're ignoring here is that as any individual gains access to more liquid wealth, they become increasingly more likely to spend some of it. As your access to supply increases, your demand for more monetary units decreases

I think Lyn Alden does a good job separating velocity from inflation in this article: https://www.lynalden.com/inflation/ There is a common idea that high monetary velocity (GDP divided by broad money supply) is ne

Your thought experiment is assuming that $1T is permanently locked "in a vault", therefore it is not actually part of the monetary supply, since it can't be spent without violating your assumption.

Re: "ecological disaster" I believe this is misinformation, because it assumes that the energy usage is not being well spent - that Bitcoin is a waste - but that assumption could not be further from the truth. Bitcoin's value

I don't believe this is accurate. As trust is spread across the network to an increasing number of people running nodes, the trust assigned to any individual participant approaches zero. This can be observed in the resilience of the ne

That would be tough; the accelerated piece in native is mostly coupled to the JS API - specifically the view hierarchy and animations. It's pretty straightforward to port games to it though, and it's generally easy to pick up and

OP - I've been working with the Game Closure team on the HTML5 devkit for quite a while now, and we have yet to find an engine that gets better performance out of 2D JS games on native. The view hierarchy, rendering, and animation are

Can confirm, awesome person. She is always full of energy because she loves her work; she rallies all of her team members to strive for success, and she goes out of her way to care for those around her.

In this statement, Tyson is referring to science as an objective reality. Science in human terms, as he often admits, has flaws that need to be explored and solved. However, in this quote, I understood him to be describing the pursuit of th

LinkedIn also sets some very annoying traps for its users. A few days ago, I received an email from LinkedIn displaying an old friend who wanted to connect. I was excited to see an old familiar face, so I logged in and eventually found a wa

This is a publicity stunt and/or money grab by Susan Wilson. This reddit post sums it up: http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/1awr1n/millionai... The authors dug up some of her old tweets, and it's clear that Susan tends to behave

Girl scout cookies don't cost $21,000+ and neither does RPG camp. You're right, it's probably not fraud, but it is a publicity stunt at Kickstarter's expense. I agree a good petition would be to redirect the funds to a real charity or cause

Older siblings tend to give little siblings a hard time in general, regardless of their gender. This is most definitely a publicity stunt at Kickstarter's expense. Millionaire's begging others to fund their child's camp is not something you

If you're interested in HTML5 games that don't feel like HTML5 games, I think that Kiwi Run is a great example. You can play it on the web here: http://www.icepopbeat.com/ but they also used Game Closure's devkit to deploy the game on iOS
