For our initial launch we decided to go with Python and Java. For the time being for other backend frameworks we figure people can fairly easily spin up a Python microservice. We are listening to the requests for other SDKs so thanks for mentioning it.
They're not a very viable alternative unless you plan on never trying to run any major/popular apps, because they all use Google Play Services APIs/libraries/toolboxes.
Install Google Play Services and Google gets whatever info they want from your phone.
You forgot the big one - regulation. Supply side is about making it easier for people to produce. You won’t find many free market types supporting QE and subsidies.
Would you rather live in a world where there’s only 1 large firm because over regulation has created a high barrier to entry and little incentive to risk starting a competitor, or a world with many firms where it’s easy for people to compete and they’re incentivised to do so?
Sure the rich hold some gold & BTC but most of their wealth is in investments (stocks, bonds, infrastructure etc.) to generate positive real returns - given inflation. This is far from hoarding
What the paper shows is that the increment in potential investments by the wealthiest don't seem to improve growth, but does worsen inequality.
The individually wealthy are not required for the aggregation and allocation of capital. Governments and financial systems are typically more capable at achieving this requirement in a welfare-maximising manner.
I believe the common sense solution is to protect the vulnerable and elderly, yet I’ve been in complete lockdown for over 6 months. Lockdowns were never the solution to pandemics prior, so why now?
People don’t wear masks correctly at all, they don’t wash it, they don’t pull it down and fiddle with it every other minute. There has been no attempt at public education around this where I live. Old age homes have been severely understaffed, provided with no PPE, have allowed visitors, and their staff have not been continually tested. Over 80% of the deaths in my state have came from these homes alone
Before taking away almost all of a person’s fundamental rights you have to at least try these less restrictive measures. People have been arrested in their home when they’ve made a fb post about protesting the restrictions. The worst part, there is no lack of people supporting these measures. Only recently has it become politically unpopular
I'm not sure the western style lockdowns work very well. In places like Thailand they try to identify the infected and then put them in separate quarantine facilities rather than making them stay home where they can infect others. The local transmission there and places like Vietnam with similar policies is now basically zero. There's a bit of an imposition on your freedom if you get quarantined - I did there but it's only 2-4 weeks and only like 0.01% of the population so overall it's probably less of an imposition than the half arsed mess we have in England where I now am. Also the deaths have been like 1000x less.
I think the downvotes are about your assessments on some of these issues.
But you’re absolutely right in that only by reading these varied sources can you approximately discern what’s really going on. Reading bs trains your bs detector. Only read bs and you won’t be able to distinguish it from reality
