Inflation is a symptom of the lack of some real resource. There are many parts of the economies of many countries where there's unused production capacity which simply "turns more natural resources into more stuff" if more money enters that part of the economy, without producing inflation. It's not "just spend more", it's "spend as much as you can on things that you want done, which aren't limited by real resources."

I found Randall Wray's lectures on the topic to be eye-opening. If what I wrote sounds strange, and it might, I highly recommend watching some of them. There are a few recordings on YouTube.

Most countries have unlimited finances. They only have limited real resources like labor, concrete, copper, glass, etc. The fact that we still don't understand this and behave as if the metadata of the economy accurately describes reality puts artificial brakes on the solutions of many problems, climate being one of them.

This road were going down, it doesn't look good. Putting the content into a black box that rarely links the original source, let alone other sources is worse than Facebook content previews.

I was being sarcastic but yeah. 😁

What modem? Surely Google hasn't built one and the modem is one of the most crucial components that puts Qualcomm's SoCs a level above everyone else's in efficiency. It'll be interesting to see if they've licensed QC or still use Samsung's. Or someone else's.

Yup. Same with all of them. I've been reading solid state battery hype for at least a decade.

So what everyone else has been doing but smaller while calling it giga. Let me buy some TSLA shares.

There are multiple US firms that are actively researching solid state batteries. I think at least one is in the manufacturing scaleup research phase. The auto manufacturers aren't generally into the cell research business and they don't need to be. Once a firm begins mass manufacturing, the autos will buy the output and use it in their cars. Protectionism is needed for other reasons. Meanwhile they're all working on their platforms.

This is important. I signed up a week ago.

Sure but technically non-redundant schemes also fall under the category. E.g. RAID0, multiple non-redundant ZFS vdevs, etc. Those would be reducing the performance effects of single disks.
