What if it’s a function of age, rather than amount of tech we’re exposed to?
For example, I feel younger people are able to focus for longer periods of time on reading long form texts, and an older person may benefit more from finding specific sections from a longer work that they may find interesting or useful that they can read.
As you age there is much more repetition in things than you are consuming. Maybe it’s not bad to be filtering out certain repetitions while hopefully not filtering out things that go against any personal biases.
Furthermore, the books I’m interested in reading now I feel require more time, maybe even a year or two, whereas when I was younger I was really interested in reading massive amounts just for the sake of it.
I'm still wrapping my head around macros, but I have
been able to come up with a couple use cases that I quickly realized were already covered by existing macros, the most recent one being a less flexible -> macro.
Anyways, I kept reading places that lisp macros and c macros were completely distinct, which seems untrue after a couple years of trying clojure.
I read another comment on hacker news today that referred to a type of regulation that is actually accountability.
Perhaps if we were able to classify regulation further it would be easier to analyze the tradeoffs of certain regulations rather than saying all regulation is bad or all regulation is good.
It is a good point I hadn't considered that public cryptocurrencies are not fully fungible. I.e. It may be socially unacceptable to accept money from certain known people.
I have also read and heard from different financial articles and podcasts that there is no known upper bound to amount of sovereign debt a country can have before keeling over - it is more important that creditors and investors have faith that the government can pay it off, or that the country is good for the money.
However, I tend to agree with your comment. There may be no upper bound to sovereign debt, but economic good times can't last forever, what goes up must come down. And should creditors ever need to collect that debt there must either be high inflation or high taxes, or not pay back loans and risk sanctions.
It is weird that they were redirecting their customers to Koodo when they stopped offering a certain favorable plan.
