Thanks! I hopped ship from vim to emacs recently precisely because my vim setup was getting super bloated from adding hacky extensions to try to make it like an IDE. Trying to set up an ide per language in vim is an exercise in frustration.

I guess I made a good choice since emacs is able to integrate an x manager (lol).

The issue for me is my tmux leader is Ctrl-f and my vim Ctrl-p uses ctrl-p.. ctrl-d and ctrl-u are used in vim for page up and down. And some other nice Ctrlkeys are taken by vim as well. I will need to carry these key bindings into emacs evil mode...

So Really running out of good leader keys I can use !

I started on evil-mode only. Heard about space macs but I wasn’t sure how well it could work with emacs ide-packages such as SLIME for lisp (and I will want to find emacs ides for Java, Js, Python, C, Cpp, ruby, Ocaml - any suggestions here much appreciated as well)

Does emacs have a common leader key set up ? I’m new to emacs

Right but I just meant doesn’t true wealth have to be injected at some point ? Like at some point someone actually needs to mine new resources and inject the resources into the economy ? I don’t really see the last ten years, countries having mined a 100x increase (non inflation adjusted) in raw goods..?

So that leaves the investment. Then others are investing in all these tech companies.. it is a cyclic dependency graph if you trace through the millions of nodes (assuming you get through the offshore accounts which I presume function as sinks). Then ... these companies are getting huge valuations because everyone else is investing more and more into them? Including themselves investing into themselves ?? When does the buck stop? Doesn’t this wealth need to be backed up ultimately by some gold bars ? Even if it’s fiat and fractional reserve .. so someone’s trust rating is ultimately taking a hit? Is the us printing this money out of thin air on the back of it’s huge credit ? I know the economy is too complex to be boiled down like this but where are these 100x increases in billions coming from ultimately? People credit ratings summed over millions of people ?

I never took any Econ courses so admittedly my Econ is terrible.

Can someone list the numbers adjusted for inflation? Because these days it seems billions are so common for companies whereas just ten years ago a ten billion dollar company was “super big”. Where did all this wealth come from? Who lost in the zero sum game ?

Are there ad blockers on iOS for Spotify ?

Common sense

How is any of this surprising? At this point pretty much anything you are doing is monitored including clicks and typing within iPhone apps

Uh huh

But does it solve the diamond inheritance problem ?

And.... would you believe them? Would a corporation sink billions into there knowing full well they can come up with arbitrary laws to get their way? How about if there is a war fought, would you believe that they won’t sieze all the assets? How about getting money out of their country? And how about subjecting your company to the inevitable corporate espionage that will happen? Would their court system actually protect your company? Hmmmmmmm
