What would it take to shift the balance of inflation to restore the purchasing power of the penny? Just out of curiosity how does a government and a people and their economy go the other direction?
I don’t know one way or another but what specifically are the pain points of deflation and how do those compare to the never ending inflation? I’ve lived under inflation all my life, it’s a slow creeping nearly sub threshold insidious process that erodes the value of money. Buy what is life like under deflation, is there pain but ultimate correction to a sane state? It feels like there is no correction to inflation.
There is no "sane state" that is eventually reached, it is always painful. For Japan, it took the financial innovation of negative interest rates to finally address it.
characterize it in terms of truth, clarity of truth, simplicity, and correctness. I think we should always evaluate things along those dimensions. Is it true, does it produce truthful things. It makes the evaluation very objective.
every attempt I've attempted thus far has failed at first run, but it was close to a solution that could be adapted and fixed. This has been especially helpful in areas where I'm charting very unfamiliar territory for very narrow scoped problems.

Ipad's first release was 4/2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_(1st_generation), we're talking a year later to enter the tablet market. Would folks agree that's still a pretty fresh market to enter into? What exactly differentiated PDAs from tablets?
Ayasdi immediately came to mind too seeing this post. I haven't thought of them in a long time, looks like they got bought out in 2019, prepandemic too which was probably best since mid pandemic had a lot of poor valuations
I can imagine these "relative text patches" could just commit as is written but could be committed with a corresponding metadata and referential locations array backed by some kind of encoding that lands in the same commit. That would unlock a visualization tool that could render a strikeout for the earlier precedent legal text or something like that in whatever way the modification applies.
