This is the same chart, but with the 99-99.9% slice broken out too.

The view by share is more telling IMO:

• The top 1% have 32.5% of the wealth. This is up from 22.8% in 1990
• The 90-99% have 36.4% of the wealth. This is down from 38% in 1990
• The 50-90% have 28.8% of the wealth. This is down from 35.7% in 1990
• The fact that the bottom 50% have 2.3% of the wealth. This is down from 3.5% in 1990

The fact that 50% of our population has a single digit share of wealth is a travisty.

The only group growing share is the 1%. Their per capital numbers are eye-watering. The 90-99% do have about 4x the per capital wealth as the 50-90% group, but the top 1% are literally 10x that on a per capital basis. The top 0.1% are eye-watering wealthy compared to anyone else.

Nice work! Assuming this isn’t scaled, that must have been a big bearing.

@[email protected] would likely approve, or at least have some interesting musings.

Open loop is basically “use evaporative cooling to reduce electricity use”. For example, you could spray water on your home AC condenser to boost efficiency, although home units obviously aren’t intended to be constantly wet. Cooling towers are designed to be constantly wet and their radiator structures are very different, but the concept is the same.

I wonder if we’re going to come full circle back to list servers and manually curated content. That doesn’t solve search though. It’s also very difficult to reliable detect an AI vs an actual human.

Search, and the web in general, are still horribly broken IMO. This makes the results crap in many cases. The SEO game was round one. Round two were all the different sites that were scraping each other and posting the same information with different formatting. Today the top results are all basically just slop on plausible sounding domain names that were registered within the past year or two.

smart lights are amazingly useful

I’m not saying your wrong, but I also don’t understand the use case? Maybe I’m a Luddite, but things like like dimmers, motion sensors and two way light switches seem to meet my needs well. It’s also not difficult to buy high CRI lights in the color temperature we like.

What am I missing?
