Re: [Vo]:A 21st Century Case for Gold: A New Information Theory of Money.
You seem to be describing not deflation but the lowering of the prices of specific commodities due to price pressure arising from increases in productivity. we agree . my point is only that at least in france, many people mix the reduction of price with deflation-depression as 1930+. when Uber or AirBnb,, or Amazon, or google lower the price to access to service, they say it is deflation and this should be stopped with taxes, with monopolies and fixed rates. in fact for French elite, the use of public money and debt is like cocaine for a rockstar... they want inflation to shave the lender, because unlike the king of france they cannot burn the Templar, pogrom the Jewish, and expulse the lombards. To a lesser degree it seems valid for western elite. US is simply printing numbers, which serves not to create price inflation, or to increase useful investments, but to inflate asset bubbles where the price is virtual. this is why people have the impression that inequalities grows, but most of what people like Piketty see as wealth is pure wind. This is where Hernando De Soto is bashing those Euro/US-centric accountants. 2015-08-18 4:35 GMT+02:00 Eric Walker eric.wal...@gmail.com: On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 3:25 AM, Alain Sepeda alain.sep...@gmail.com wrote: deflation is natural and sane in economies where there is growth of productivity. This is a good way to increase wages. You seem to be describing not deflation but the lowering of the prices of specific commodities due to price pressure arising from increases in productivity. I'm going to hazard a guess that economists don't think of this kind of downward price pressure as deflation, especially of the kind seen in the Great Depression. Deflation in that instance was across the board. If you held on to your money, it would be worth even more a week later. There was an incentive to refrain from spending and to keep your money in a can under your mattress. In a healthy economy, you might want to wait for two or three months to purchase that television or stereo system or car, because the price might be about to come down; but while you wait your money would become worth a little less overall because of a slight amount of inflation. If you did not intend to spend it you would want to put it to some other good use -- in an investment account or a savings account. Eric
Re: [Vo]:good news not exactly LENR , but...
Over on the Rossi blog site, there has recently been a ton of questions asking Rossi what the E-Cat-X is all about. Rossi is silent on that issue. He is very protective about his new collections of IP secrets. And yet, he gave the Lugano crew the Hot cat to play with for a month. To completely give the Lugano testers all his treasured and hard won IP secrets is completely out of character. Rossi must have thought that the Hot Cat was a dead end. Try as he might, Rossi could not get the Hot cat to work, and he gave up on it. He never intended to give anybody the opportunity and the Know-how to replicate any of his work. Does a leopard change its spots? But when Rossi read the Lugano report, he saw something he liked very much, it was something he did not see in all his own extensive Hot cat experiments. He was very surprised, and he took advantage of this very good luck as he has always done. Those new insights that he gleaned from the Lugano report gave him inspiration to invent the E-Cat-X. The tantalizing question that we are faced with: what insight did Rossi get from the Lugano report. Maybe Rossi gave up on the Hot Cat because, try as he might, he could not get the Hot Cat to work well, So he intended to throw his competitors a curve by showing them a failed test. He used an old fuel load from one of his failed Hot cat tests knowing full well that the Hot Cat would not work to any great extent. But to his surprise, the Lugano crew got the reactor to work anyway beyond all his wildest expectations. The previously used fuel loaded in the Lugano test showed no build up of Ni62, just run of the mill nickel isotopes, but the Lugano run changed the nickel powder into pure Ni62. We know that Rossi was very surprised by this strange turn of events. Rossi must have thought to himself, what could have caused that miracle? How come I could not do this thing and those Lugano testers could? Because they did not want to melt the hot cat down, the Lugano crew let the Hot cat heat for 10 days before they decided to up the temperature. In those first 10 days the Hot cat was a poor performer. Rossi never had the patience to run the Hot cat for so long, he did not have the patience to run such a non productive test for that long. But after those 10 days of gestation, the Lugano crew increased the power and the heat and the Rossi reaction took off. The power produced by the reactor showed a COP of 7 when the power was increased. Something must have been building up over those 10 days of moderate heat. LENR has always had a history of running for a long time before the reaction sets in. The Palladium guys thought ot was caused by loading hydrogen into palladium, but that was not the case. Nano-particles were being created slowly until their numbers reached a critical threshold for the reactor to take off. Without those large 100 micron nickel particles, the nano particle aggregation must be grown large enough to get the power of the reaction over a critical level. That correct level is when the aggregation is big enough to establish a positive feedback loop with the nuclear fusion reactions catalyzed by the aggregation. Rossi said to himself, I can just add some of my potassium catalyst to the lithium aluminum hydride to get the nano particles to form faster. 10 days is far to long to wait to start up the Hot cat. Then I could turn on the lithium powder very fast, and I do not need the nickel anymore.
