I'll add on that speeding is the biggest contributing factor in accidents. And accident outcomes get exponentially worse above 30mph. For every 10 mph of increased speed, the risk of dying in a crash doubles.

This one simple thing is the only thing that makes my SteamDeck+Dock feel like a second class console. So far they only claim it's for the Steam Controller, but I'd be great if it worked with the handful of 8bitdo or Switch controllers I've been using.
Somewhat related: I wanted to track watch time, and perhaps set a time limit with Plex and HomeAssistant. Has anyone come up with a solution I can cheat off of?
Maybe a dumb question, but why? I don't like that it exists, but isn't it self-contained? The main reason for cleaning it up seems to be quoted as [1], which oversimplfies to 'animals might eat plastic, and it affects them', and it will make microplastics. But these problems seem to be localized to the garbage patch. I could see it as a asbestos situation where its only problematic if you disturb it. Ongoing dumping seems to be a bigger problem as it's not localized.
Yes, but not directly. If you listen to the last FOMC meeting, Powell mentions there will likely be significant weakening of the labor market and a rise of unemployment. As well as his famous "there will be pain" remarks.
I don't think he directly said "he won't stop until" though.
supposedly about a 1/3 of mortgages are variable in Canada. But more importantly, fixed mortgages are almost all 5 year terms (or less). That is, every 5 years you have to renew your rate (even though the mortgage amount is for 25 years). That means every year, about 20% of homeowners are updating to the current fixed rate (assuming an random distribution of purchase date). Perhaps a big chunk renewed early in 2020, but by 2025/2026 all mortgaged homeowners will have a new higher rate.
I don't know if it's moores law. except for servers, CPUs are mostly running near idle.
My intuition would say tech saturation would make more of a difference. That is, worldwide pretty much everyone have now has adopted a computer and all businesses have automated the low hanging fruit.
My theory behind this is there are many BTC holders with cap gains (or assets acquired through illegal methods) that can't easily cash out, and El Salvador's BTC support was a grab at capturing tourist revenue through state sponsored money laundering.
Through that lens, it would be interesting to see if there was any anomaly in GDP, luxury goods sold, real estate sales, or tourism in the country.
I think what's missing here is in case 1, it's not just the amount of money, but how much money is chasing each available good. You can imagine if the money supply doubles, a loaf of bread can be the same price as before if there are twice as many people demanding the same portion of bread (for a very crude approximation)
Or to put it another way, maybe case 1 is demand-side inflation, and case 2 is supply-side inflation.
For those questioning the feasibility, 100% electric school buses are already on the road in Montreal. I see them frequently, and they seem to handle our crappy roads and winters fine.
I think with everything that is going on, everyone should be aware of the Russian book "Foundations of Geopolitics"[0]. It is a textbook that basically gives a blueprint on how they should take over the world. On how to deal with the USA:
* Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"
One thing I haven't seen mention much is real estate. The "back-to-office" militants are usually corporate, and there's a lot of corporate money tried up with office real estate that would lose a lot of value if everything shifted to WFH forever
This only makes sense if you have positive-risk-adjusted-return investments you've been waiting to make. If you already have too much cash with no where to put it, borrowing more cash makes no sense.
