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.

The primary function of the app is to record a GPS activity with your phone. If you already have a GPS watch and like using it, I don't see the point in using both. And I'm not sure about Coros, but Garmin at least give you the option to manually download your GPS traces directly from the watch without using their web services if you're concerned about privacy.

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.

Better yet, look at crypto, where people believe inflation is all about monetary supply and restrict it on purpose. The result? Wild volitity, huge crashes, and low velocity of money because everyone hoards it instead of spending.

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.

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.
