r_schestowitz"May 03 16:16
r_schestowitzTo be fair, that attack only impacted WP sites that were already infected.There was no mechanism to get malware through the automatic update mechanism if your site wasn't already infected by malware. It was simply a re-infection vector for people who thought upgrading their sites to the latest version would somehow clean malware from their WP instances.May 03 16:16

r_schestowitzOne thing that set apart the US is that US dollar is used in transactions everywhere and is an important part of national reserves, therefore the US has more freedom to run deficits than other countries. The problem is, any currency follows market rules, even the US dollar; if there is a surplus of dollars then it will lose value. One way could be printing dollars, but other way could be countries stopping using dollars like Russia May 04 19:34
r_schestowitzpushed by the boycott, like China for not being in its best interest, or like Argentina pushed out of the funding markets.May 04 19:34
r_schestowitzAnd other way could be stopping buying US products, the less the world buy the less need of dollars will be. And it's just a matter of time and will be suddenly as a market crash, nobody wants to be the one left holding the bag. When the dollar crashes will be quick and painful as when other currencies crash, and then the US might follow the North Korean path of having the army as the only industry in the country, or might stop playing May 04 19:34

r_schestowitz"By the way: while boycotting it helps a lot making explicit why are you boycotting, that way the plutocrats that run those companies will understand why they are losing money.

The trouble is that, as bad as all the fundamentals that capitalist libertarians especially will point to are, all other currencies are worse. The other factor is that the dollar remains the world's reserve currency; there's nibbling at the edges of this, but for as long as it remains as such, there will always be May 04 19:35
r_schestowitzdemand for dollars.May 04 19:35
r_schestowitzI've been trying to watch the BRICS idea of setting up a new reserve currency. Because it is indeed apparently the case that when and if they do so, the dollar might become vulnerable. So far, this hasn't seemed to gain much traction. The word I keep hearing is that it takes time.May 04 19:35
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:35
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzOf course it takes time, and the less China wants is the dollar losing value suddenly. The best way is dumping the dollar slowly, otherwise there will be a crash and China still has lots of financial assets in US dollars. The same applies to every country with assets in US dollars.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzAny currency including the dollar is just a promise backed by the country that printed the currency, and at this time the US is the one that seems more secure. But if that security becomes weak, like the US losing a war, having too much dollars that do not correlate with the US economy, or going down trade with the US, be sure that not because everybody has dollars then nothing will happen.May 04 19:36

r_schestowitz"May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzBy the way, let's say that boycotting is not effective or too much cruel (?). Do you have any idea to push change as individuals? It does not have to be only one individual forcing the change, but if millions can do it and there is no need of coordination then that would be fine.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzDoing nothing is not a good option to me.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzBasically, the arguments you're offering here are among the top arguments for BRICS to develop a new reserve currency. The question for me is why, if they're so intent on doing this, it's taking so long. This just doesn't seem to me to be that hard. But I'm possibly out of my depth.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzI think the way to evaluate the boycott question is by whether you are doing more harm than good. There's a pretty decent case, that although an individual's impact is unlikely to register, that you're doing more harm than good. There's certainly no way that boycotting U.S. goods will stop U.S. warmongering; the only way that will happen is if the U.S. collapses, and even then, as we see with the British Empire and the Soviet Union, it May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzmight go on for decades.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitzAs to what an individual can do, I think the only thing that can be done is to try to build a movement. This movement will have to prepare itself for violence. The U.S. elites will not go down without a fight.May 04 19:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzWhen someone wants to dump an asset and has enough of it to move the market then he has to sell slowly, otherwise the sudden offer will send down prices and there will be not enough people willing to buy. For someone to sell there must be one to buy, and if people notice you're dumping something because it's crap then nobody will buy.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzAlso, is not crippling an economy a good way to bring down a country? Personally, the problem with movements that include violence is that the winners might be worse than the original ones in power. Moreover, since most people cannot be moved to act I'm not willing to do something illegal or risky to help people that do not help themselves. The day I grab a gun will be to protect myself and my interests, not other's interests.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:37
r_schestowitz"May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzThe U.S. economy--if it collapses--will collapse of its own accord. You don't need to do anything.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzThe trouble with this strategy is that as long as the U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency, the U.S. authorities can dummy up the numbers to keep the economy running. Capitalist libertarians err in calling national currencies 'fiat' currencies not because they aren't 'fiat' currencies, but because there is no reality to any currency; they all reduce human endeavor and resources to arbitrary values, rationalized through the 'May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzrational markets hypothesis,' which is a load of bullshit.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzAs long as numbers have no real meaning, then a country in the U.S.'s position can keep on keeping on. The reason the move to dethrone the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency is significant isn't so much all the incomprehensible mumbo jumbo you hear. Rather it is that the authorities producing numbers on the U.S. economy will suddenly be subject to international peer review.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzThey'll fudge it, of course, because nobody wants to be caught holding a bunch of worthless dollars. But there may well be a gradual slide. And given the immense quantities of dollars to be disposed of, it may take decades for other countries to reduce their exposure, just as it has taken decades to accumulate this exposure.May 04 19:37
r_schestowitzAnd here's a problem. As a species, we simply don't have that kind of time. Climate change will get us first. And when humans are extinct, organized violence will cease to be a problem.May 04 19:37

r_schestowitzOne thing that set apart the US is that US dollar is used in transactions everywhere and is an important part of national reserves, therefore the US has more freedom to run deficits than other countries. The problem is, any currency follows market rules, even the US dollar; if there is a surplus of dollars then it will lose value. One way could be printing dollars, but other way could be countries stopping using dollars like Russia May 04 18:34
r_schestowitzpushed by the boycott, like China for not being in its best interest, or like Argentina pushed out of the funding markets.May 04 18:34
r_schestowitzAnd other way could be stopping buying US products, the less the world buy the less need of dollars will be. And it's just a matter of time and will be suddenly as a market crash, nobody wants to be the one left holding the bag. When the dollar crashes will be quick and painful as when other currencies crash, and then the US might follow the North Korean path of having the army as the only industry in the country, or might stop playing May 04 18:34

r_schestowitzHoping to bring down the dollar right now is a fool's game.May 04 18:35
r_schestowitzYou are right to point to the dollar as something of a commodity; this is just how currency speculators view currencies. The trouble is that, as bad as all the fundamentals that capitalist libertarians especially will point to are, all other currencies are worse. The other factor is that the dollar remains the world's reserve currency; there's nibbling at the edges of this, but for as long as it remains as such, there will always be May 04 18:35
r_schestowitzdemand for dollars.May 04 18:35
r_schestowitzI've been trying to watch the BRICS idea of setting up a new reserve currency. Because it is indeed apparently the case that when and if they do so, the dollar might become vulnerable. So far, this hasn't seemed to gain much traction. The word I keep hearing is that it takes time.May 04 18:35
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:35
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzOf course it takes time, and the less China wants is the dollar losing value suddenly. The best way is dumping the dollar slowly, otherwise there will be a crash and China still has lots of financial assets in US dollars. The same applies to every country with assets in US dollars.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzAny currency including the dollar is just a promise backed by the country that printed the currency, and at this time the US is the one that seems more secure. But if that security becomes weak, like the US losing a war, having too much dollars that do not correlate with the US economy, or going down trade with the US, be sure that not because everybody has dollars then nothing will happen.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzBy the way, let's say that boycotting is not effective or too much cruel (?). Do you have any idea to push change as individuals? It does not have to be only one individual forcing the change, but if millions can do it and there is no need of coordination then that would be fine.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzDoing nothing is not a good option to me.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzBasically, the arguments you're offering here are among the top arguments for BRICS to develop a new reserve currency. The question for me is why, if they're so intent on doing this, it's taking so long. This just doesn't seem to me to be that hard. But I'm possibly out of my depth.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzI think the way to evaluate the boycott question is by whether you are doing more harm than good. There's a pretty decent case, that although an individual's impact is unlikely to register, that you're doing more harm than good. There's certainly no way that boycotting U.S. goods will stop U.S. warmongering; the only way that will happen is if the U.S. collapses, and even then, as we see with the British Empire and the Soviet Union, it May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzmight go on for decades.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitzAs to what an individual can do, I think the only thing that can be done is to try to build a movement. This movement will have to prepare itself for violence. The U.S. elites will not go down without a fight.May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:36
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzWhen someone wants to dump an asset and has enough of it to move the market then he has to sell slowly, otherwise the sudden offer will send down prices and there will be not enough people willing to buy. For someone to sell there must be one to buy, and if people notice you're dumping something because it's crap then nobody will buy.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzAlso, is not crippling an economy a good way to bring down a country? Personally, the problem with movements that include violence is that the winners might be worse than the original ones in power. Moreover, since most people cannot be moved to act I'm not willing to do something illegal or risky to help people that do not help themselves. The day I grab a gun will be to protect myself and my interests, not other's interests.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:37
r_schestowitz"May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzThe U.S. economy--if it collapses--will collapse of its own accord. You don't need to do anything.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzThe trouble with this strategy is that as long as the U.S. dollar is the world's reserve currency, the U.S. authorities can dummy up the numbers to keep the economy running. Capitalist libertarians err in calling national currencies 'fiat' currencies not because they aren't 'fiat' currencies, but because there is no reality to any currency; they all reduce human endeavor and resources to arbitrary values, rationalized through the 'May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzrational markets hypothesis,' which is a load of bullshit.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzAs long as numbers have no real meaning, then a country in the U.S.'s position can keep on keeping on. The reason the move to dethrone the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency is significant isn't so much all the incomprehensible mumbo jumbo you hear. Rather it is that the authorities producing numbers on the U.S. economy will suddenly be subject to international peer review.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzThey'll fudge it, of course, because nobody wants to be caught holding a bunch of worthless dollars. But there may well be a gradual slide. And given the immense quantities of dollars to be disposed of, it may take decades for other countries to reduce their exposure, just as it has taken decades to accumulate this exposure.May 04 18:37
r_schestowitzAnd here's a problem. As a species, we simply don't have that kind of time. Climate change will get us first. And when humans are extinct, organized violence will cease to be a problem.May 04 18:37

r_schestowitzThe article is a joke, right? Most of these things make linux look better in my eyes. With exception to the gaming part, which has gotten a lot better but is still lacking. I won't ever cry for not being able to play call of duty, though.May 04 19:56
