Nit pick, this is a 256TB SSD, so you'd need four to make a PB of raw space, and probably more than that to allow for RAID and effective space. PBSSD is their name for tech to enable PB scale arrays of such SSDs.

On a technical level, federation is arguably just as compatible with libertarianism. Each instance is its own island nation, free to set its own rules while members vote with their feet in free association. That it hasn't gone that route is more to do with the founding population than the technology.

It's what happens when people treat money as an investment and don't spend it. Money that's useful as money would be a bad investment.

If they're invested in businesses, the capital gets recirculated in the economy and becomes someone else's income.

What you describe would be worse without inflation. The rich would still have most of the capital, but they also wouldn't bother investing it either, which at least recirculates the money and becomes income for others.

Income-generating assets are doing something to generate that income, which is presumed to have some beneficial effect on the economy more than cash sitting under your mattress does.

Increase in the money supply does not in itself cause prices to go up. There's an indirect mechanicism but it's not automatic.

In N Out even has their own warehouses to supply their restaurants. I see meat packing positions listed on their website which I would highly suspect require masks.

*Product Manager. They meet with customers, analyze the competitive landscape, set the feature development roadmap, and define requirements for engineering teams. The "I'm a people person!" guy in Office Space.

I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash... exactly like toddler car seats.

I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they're something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.

One of the sanctions the SEC seeks for repeat offenders is a ban on serving as an officer of any public company.

Look at animated movies. They're giant collaborations of hundreds of mostly anonymous people, basically large software development projects. They hire stars to do the voices, not because they're all that great as voice actors (trained voice actors can often be had cheaper), but to be the face of the film in public and promote it.

That is, the skill of a Hollywood star is not really anything to do with the product, but simply being famous, recognizable, and likeable. They are a brand, like Mickey Mouse or Colonel Sanders (once an actual person!).
