China's Christmas Present To The World: Another Interest Rate Hike
- advertisements -
China's central bank raises interest rates again
China's central bank will raise the one-year lending and deposit interests rate by 25 basis points from December 26, the second time in 2010.
Plunge and big one this time
0.25% is too small to be of any significance other than symbolic. It actually signals to the world that the Chinese government has no resolve to fight inflation.
I think Chinese stock market will rally big time on Monday.
they think they will not have to revalue but they will soon find out that combating 5 or 6% inflation requires 8% interest rates.
revaluation is coming
Maybe a switch to the Amero?
I would like to see the globalists try to implement a new currencie system. 'The old monetary system didn't work, but this one will, trust us!'
Wait a few more days...
Coming from Canada I can say with 100% certainty, we do not want to have an Amero. In fact some of us do not even want our own paper dollars. Real money, gold & silver, or go home.
oh, happy B-day D O G, your one day old. you must be jesus†
after reading this article in the CBC I would say "beggar thy neighbor, beggar my neighbor: Canada"
SilverBaron. No.
The plot is deeper. New countries have not been fleeced. The fortunes are too great for one to turn a blind eye.
Capital will rush to the melt up; where fast equity appreciation will occur: and with interest rate hikes, that aint china. There is no 'long position'... its just speculating on what will appreciate in the next 10 minutes.
Thats why these idiots on CNBC are saying to continue to buy emerging markets... because they are selling emerging markets.
Besides, no data out of china can be trusted because they have non productive over employment, ruinous excess capacity, a vacumed real estate market, empty buildings and empty cities with market rents reflective of a "normal market"... and a lot of chinese with their 100 Yuan notes with Mao on 'em trying to buy gold for the equivalent of $1,500+ USD per ounce... a .25 rate hike is meaningless.
It will be the opposite of what everyone thinks:
PM's rally on china interest rate hikes and the DOW approches 14,000 by march 2011.
China Interest rate hike? Bullish for US assets.
I also think gold will go up next week. The continuation of the policy of negative real interest rates isn't great news for those long RMB - while the yuan in 2011 may slightly appreciate vs. the dollar, it'll go down vs. PMs and commodities.
cetral bankers say the opposite of what they mean.
revaluation is coming
We are going to find out if the Chinese government can handle a crisis such as a liquidity issue. I have my doubts. In my view, there is going to be unstability and as a result, there will distruptions in the manufacturing sector. Foreign companies aren't going to be too happy. Expect Vietnam and Mexico to be the winners when China hits the skids.
RRR = Reserve Requirement Ratio '
Write for your readers, not for author-ego.
.25%? You gotta be kidding me!
China is likely long past the Paul Volcker- esque 18% rate needed to curb Chinese hyperinflation. The .25% is theater, more fraud from the international finance cartel of which China is a dues- paid member.
China has no desire to fight inflation which would require capital controls rather than rate hikes. Imposing capital controls would crash China's real estate bubble economy, bankrupting both the govenrment as well as highly leveraged Chinese elites.
I can guarantee that this will never happen: that China will never bankrupt its elites. Warren Buffett will give his fortune to the Salvation Army, first.
It is China, not America that is experiencing hyperinflation, that is 'printing money' that is inflating away its debts as fast as possible. China is the Weimar Republic; it's industrial base is excessive to any world- or domestic demand, its workers restive. Why not bankrupt the lot with inflation and steal their savings?
China has a big army which can control citizen fury, with tanks and artillery if necessary.
If China does not impose capital controls, rate increases simply attract more 'hot money' capital increasing China's money supply.
China's real problem is its fixation with F/X reserves. The cost of maintaining the putative 'value' of these reserves is bankrupting China.
Exactly. China is the 21st Evil Empire. The Chinese government doesn't have the guts to apply drastic tightening to quell inflation. All the banks in China are owned by the government and it is the Chinese government that is most highly levered entity in China. Only hyperinflation can solve the problem.
Only hyperinflation can solve the problem.
What? Hyperinflation leads to social unrest, chaos and failed governments. Please give me examples of hyperinflation solving anything.
China is the creditor you fools.
China will be stuck doing what the creditors did in Thailand in 1997, cut their losses. The US dollar will go the same way the Baht did. Down by 20 to 40%
The dollar will tank like the Thai baht? If there are any global distruptions, expect the dollar to gain strength. Do you follow history?
.25 % is a joke indeed, they are going to notice when they have another 25% increase in the price of milk YoY next month.
do you guys really think volker hiked rates overnight to 21%?? lol
i think its a fallacious argument to compare a 2 month rate hike of .5% with an annualized rise of 25% in milk per annum, ok? thats the kind of thinking that looks dramatic only for polemic reasons.
please do the math and compare apples to apples not apples to milk *g* furthermore the compare interest rates and cpi not interest rates to volatility.
so how much rate hike is this 0.5 since october annualized. and is this a big jump or not? is there more to come or not? are they aware of the problem or are the states aware of the problem?
plz be rational not polemic
What about near 2 percent in a couple of months? Like it happened in some "first world" countries. When problems are this deep, central planning here in US or in China do extreme things.
What about "emergency" Interest rates of almost 0% for TWO YEARS so far (pretty lenghty "emergency" we thought we were, as Geithner said, in a "recovery")?
This still being desperate times, and we will see extreme adjustments to the extreme measures taken in the ongoing crisis, is not polemic is just reality, that if you want to smell the coffee.
So again, .25% to stop that kind of inflation and unbalances is too few, too late.
Nice read. That's why I sold my Yum Brands for a handsome profit. China is going to experience a hard, hard, hard landing. Hopefully, this will scare our people and government to doing the right thing.
Glad their tanks are domestic and not headed fro Siberia, which, is my worry.
Well before 18% rates back then (I had a 5 YR rollover/15 yr amortization secured floating rate note that originated in 1978 commercial note that started at 8.75% and went to 19.25% in 3+ years, about bankrupted me at age 29), but survived by hocking my house in an inflating RE market. That ain't the case 2day.
China and the US and the whole world are ded if that happens.
I think China should make an offer to the USA "We will trade 2000$ worth of your Treasuries for 1 oz. of gold from Fort Knox" put the shit in the FED own mouth
at 147 million oz. it would be x2000 = 300 Billion 1/8 of Chinas foreign reserves I guess it would be a bargain
As many know, the Fed has no gold clean and clear of obligations. As such, there is America-owned gold in 'Ft Knox'.
No gold at Ft Knox then, is really Faux Knox.
HUGE typo and my apologies.
There is NO gold in Ft Knox.
Gold? in ft knox? LOL, Im not sure if this is sarcastic, or you actually think AMericans still have an ounce of gold in some bunker that was audited before the biggest fiat print man has known...
I know the Chinesse have a shotgun to the USA head and can pull the trigger att will, the blowback would knock their teeth out but the Western system would fall
Why would the Chinese trade their prized possession which is the dollar? The world is experiencing deflation people. I know about commodities. Expect commodities to drop like a rock when China hits that liquidity cliff.
By the way, phyiscal gold and silver will go through the rooof.
China's Christmas present
USA, you do QE and we do QT (Quantitative Tightening) and Fraud Street will do the QV (Quantitative Vaporing).
Gold and silver will be nuked on Monday. Blythe Masters will never miss this chance. What a tragedy!
By and by, the rates hike was simply theatre. Even the underestimated CPI now stands above 5%. 0.25% is just a farce.
Why eigen? Care to explain the correlation? You mean hot money will flow into China as a result and away from PM's?
Somehow, I cannot see this tiny hike compensating for all the other excesses and riskes in the Chinese system?
Like someone said upthread, Vlokeresque tightening is the only thing that can work, but the intended and unintended consequences of the same will be mind-boggling.
I think we'll see slow creeps and no pull-backs on interest rates world over.
I'm not talking about the fundamentals. In terms of the fundos, of course go long PMs. A 0.25% hike is not enough to curb the inflation in China. On Monday, most traders are away on holiday and the volume will be thin. It will be a perfect time for Blythe Masters to hammer PMs.
can't wait. Buy some Jan ITM calls on SLV after the $1 "crash" in silver (bottom usually hit around noon EST). Sell the next morning.
Finding the true bottom on a PM beat-down day is the hardest part.
The open interest of silver is steadily increasing these days despite all the hammering. If Blythe hammers further, the open interest may keep increasing. That could create a delivery problem for Blythe in March.
"A 0.25% hike is not enough to curb the inflation in China."
It was clearly noted above that this is ONE increase, of which there has been two over the past two months. One could say that this is a clear trend, and, if extrapolated out to a full year, isn't exactly peanuts. Again, don't look at only ONE day: if they did this EVERY day would you be saying the same thing- "it's a paltry amount!"
There was a small selloff in PM equites end of week, I guess there was a leak, cuz the PM themselves did not move at all
Why would that be a tragedy? That doesn't make any sense.
Everyone who wants to be long can buy some more at a lower price.
After all the dominoes have triggered and the party is over no one ever remembers the first domino to topple. I can't help but wonder if the Chinese are finally enacting their revenge for the Western powers arrogant use of Gunboat Diplomacy begining in the 19th Century and progressing all the way to 2010.
Payback is a bitch.

Paige parades down the hallway sensually strutting to accent her attributes. Poppin her ass as she walks until she starts to crawl, giving an even better view. She lies on the bed and with her ass in the air waits for James to take her payment. Her little dance into the bedroom was enough to get James ready. He dives head first into her ass, getting more than a mouthful. Paige shows she has even more under her clothes as James exposes her lovely breasts. Paige pays the rent and then some, providing some deepthroat action. James is overwhelmed by her beautiful ass and explodes all over these cheeks. This pays the rent for the week. She is given the option to pay the whole month and it seems a possibility for next time.

On December 16, 2013, our friends over at Compare the Cloud wrote a blog called "The Day Computing Changed Forever – and We All Missed it." The blog centered on what the future of the Cloud could hold for society. Ironically enough, the post was published on the same day that Google (pictured below) announced it's new line of products – four legged military machines. SkyNet anyone?
Anyway, in the post our friends over at Compare the Cloud set the stage for what the future of the Cloud and IT in general could look like. From operating in the world via customized avatars, to fitting an entire data center within the space of a few specs of DNA to human clusters providing science with answers beyond current imagination, our friends at Compare the Cloud lay out a very interesting vision for the future. That said, we are going to use this space to, point-by-point, deconstruct their vision of the future and why that vision spells out an extremely scary world.
1. Data Center Size Matters
"Todays data center is about physical mass of IT kit, what do they do when this kit that drives storage and compute is transferred to something so small we cannot even see it(IT)? The Data Centre of the future will look nothing like what we have today, it will be like a biology facility with storage being in controlled super test tube repositories".
In a way we agree with this assessment. Like every major technological advance over time, size always comes into play. Whereas the home computer used to be the size of an average living room, now a machine much more powerful sits comfortably in our laps. The same will happen with data centers. However, this isn't a great thing. If you think about it, the size of data centers – factory size buildings – requires those buildings to be guarded 24/7/365 by security cameras and security guards. In a world where a data center is the size of DNA, the possibility for theft and misplacement is just too possible. While we agree data centers need to get smaller to decrease their carbon footprint, for security purposes, data centers should only shrink to a certain defensible size.
2. Connectivity and Bandwidth a.k.a. Tracking
"Imagine a network comprising billions of human beings connected via 10th generation WIFI devices located within a human on-boarded bio-nano-chip the processing power will propel human advancement further than ever. The power of this "human cluster" to provide science with answers is beyond imagination."
So, let's get this straight. While we can see tech shrinking to a nano level to allow for "human cluster" which will "provide science with answers is beyond imagination", a caution flag must be raised. How many sci-fi movies have we all seen wherein micro chips are implanted into the main character for the purposes of tracking and control? Remember what happened to Snake Plissken? Or how about Neo? Or how about any number of sci-fi characters who were given microchip implants? Yeah, a world in which microchip implants are standard issue for every human allowing them to connect directly to the Internet? That sounds downright creepy and full of insane security concerns.
3. Consumerisation of Humanification
"What would Netflix do in this scenario? Simple! Tap into the Humanification RFC, (request for comment) standard 83383838339 to patent video on demand via biomechanics, to present video straight to the mind of the consumer. Same for Apple – will they create an 'itunes' for music streamed directly to the ear canal?"
On first pass, we have to admit this sounds pretty cool. To have the ability to stream music, videos, content directly into our minds. This sounds pretty cool but again, when you break it down, it sounds down right scary. How often do you see someone walking around the street with their head tucked into their smartphone or tablet? How often do you see these people looking lost because they aren't paying attention to the world around them? If you are like us, you see this everyday. Now imagine what the world would be like if those very same people could stream something from Netflix in their brain while walking around NYC or London? Those people would not only look lost, they would get flattened by London's famous double story buses. Yikes. So, is the consumerization of humanification a good thing? When you can stream Anchorman directly behind your eyes, we don't think so.
4. The Future of IT
"Will currency, shares and futures trading systems still be in existence? NO WAY! Tapping into the power of the 'Human Cloud' will allow any trader or individual to outsmart any predictive modelling and trade execution system currently in existence both now and in the future."
A few years ago 60 Minutes aired a segment revolving around server based trading operations in which Wall Street financial firm servers', stored in Mahwah, NJ, conducted thousands of trading operations in the span of a few milliseconds. As technology advances and the Cloud becomes faster, stronger and more ubiquitous within society, routine operations, including daily financial trades, will likewise become faster, stronger and more secure. While it might be true with increased "Human Cloud" tech, people might be able to communicate and carry out trades via "bio-mechanical human "tap-ins" where visual images are presented in the brain cortex", there is no reason why server based trading won't continue to grow. In the IT future we see, Cloud based solutions will empower people to build more powerful machines which conduct their bidding.
5. Will We Still Need to Travel
"Who has ever used "second life"? Imagine the 'Human cloud' and the creation of a unique ID (UID) for every person on the planet. That UID is then customised to be an avatar of our physical beings, why would we need to travel when we can meet up in the virtual world interact and do business?"
The idea of using an avatar to conduct daily human business has a sole advantage – bodily security. Outside of this, there is too much to see, feel and experience to willingly contain yourself to a global avatar. For anyone who has ever seen the movie Surrogates with Bruce Willis, you, like us, can only see a bad ending to utilizing avatars to conduct daily human business. Surrogates didn't end well. Neither will utilizing avatars.
6. Video Conferencing
"Such a laggard technology! Seven years from now it will be akin to playing an Atari game next to a Playstation or XBOX. Biotechnology-driven Telekinesis will be the next battleground with 'Virtual Human' bridges being used to communicate with trusted social and business contacts."
This we agree with. Virtual Human bridges being used to communicate with trusted social and business contacts? Yeah, that actually sounds pretty cool. Call it a more powerful internal human-to-human video conferencing.
7. Office Production Suites
"Seriously? Sitting at a keyboard and typing? All we will need to do is dictate in our minds what we want to convey, put it through to the "profanity and grammar" thought process, then to be communicated onwards with productivity tools such as smell, sound and touch applied on subscription – which combined convey our thoughts and feelings to the receiving party."
Pure dictation. In theory this is a wonderful idea however let's think about it for a moment. The closest technology we currently use which resembles "pure human dictation" is Twitter. We say this because Twitter, for any close observer, is now used in three main ways: Content Creation/Content Syndication, Spam Posts/Bots and Mouth Vomit. We all know the person who uses Twitter to spew every thought which comes to mind. We all know that person and we all want to smack that person. Now imagine if that person had the ability of pure dictation?
No thanks.
7. The Humanification of Technology
"Science would have evolved to the point where cryogenics intersects with the humanification of technology…imagine doing an enterprise project where you can call in these great human beings to interact in avatar form and advise your company on how to do a marketing campaign product design – or getting Machiavelli to advise you on politics?"
Another idea we love. By the power of the Cloud, by the power of advanced IT solutions, the rise of the "humanification of technology" takes root. To have the ability to connect to the history of information within your mind, to have instant access to the acquired knowledge of mankind would be groundbreaking. And yet, at the same time, this idea seems dangerous. As with most future ideas, the full democratization of knowledge sounds and feels like an idea which has the power to distinctly split societies. In a world wherein every person has instant access to the sum of acquired human knowledge sounds like a world wherein a ruling class would emerge by limiting access to said knowledge to a small few. In a world where knowledge is everything, access is everything. The "Humanification of Technology" is at once, dangerous and liberating.
8. Security Concerns
"Will the corporate and personal firewall become the "Biowall"? With Juniper and Checkpoint perhaps offering host and grid customisation services stored on a DNA profile with bio-mechanical protection?"
The major issue at play here is security. As Compare the Cloud noted, when you introduce bio processing technologies into the humidification of IT, security becomes a huge concern. If the humidification of IT now means your mind and your body have been turned into the future of IT – the future of the Cloud – how do you secure it? As proposed, do you erect biowalls? Do hardware and software firewalls become a flesh and blood biowall designed to ward out intrusions both physically and mentally? More over, how would you accomplish such a task?
Will security barriers become part of an encrypted DNA sequence? Will web security companies like Comodo pioneer bio data firewalls designed to lock intruders out of the mind and muscles? Whatever happens, as noted, in this brave new world personal security will play a massive role.
So, what will the future of IT look like? Will it be a brave new world filled with technological advancements designed to empower humanity or will it become a never ending breach of personal security and over sharing? Only time will tell.

Feedback: Letters to LJ, April 15, 2016 Issue
Mentorship 101 | On the Job
It's easy to find advice on how to mentor a Millennial, but what if you are a Millennial, and you are the mentor? It's bound to start happening. As of 2015, Millennials make up the largest proportion of the workforce. The oldest members of that generation are turning 34 and moving into management positions. Those of us who have moved into management have had help, and we should send the ladder back down.
Preschool STEM Lab | Field Reports
Children are naturally curious about the world around them. Science programs and activities are a great way to capture their interest and encourage the development of early literacy skills. Many science activities and materials are easy to incorporate into library programs; you may find that you're already including elements that increase STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) knowledge, for example, talking about color mixing or identifying and playing with shapes.

North Carolina's adoption of the so-called "bathroom bill" (House Bill 2, also known as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act) on March 23 has been rightly denounced for building bias and discrimination into state law and barring cities from extending protections for transgender individuals. It should go without saying that wholesale bigotry against members of a group is unacceptable and unconstitutional. This legislation is a travesty and an assault on our civil liberties.
Word of Mouth | Language Learning
Programming that supports English-language learning (ELL) is not new in the world of public libraries. Kenneth English, associate director of adult learning centers at the New York Public Library (NYPL), has seen "photos and notices from around 1920 promoting classes in Manhattan's Lower East Side immigrant neighborhoods." While ELL programming has existed for nearly 100 years, modern libraries continue to update their offerings to fit the needs of their communities. Innovative and traditional projects that are responsive to demographic shifts and capitalize on local people power are key to best serving library customers working on their English-language skills.

BEA, Back In Chicago | BEA Preview 2016
After seven years in New York, BookExpo America (BEA) heads to Chicago's McCormick Place, where it will run from Wednesday though Friday, May 11–13. With a focus on BEA's new partnership with the American Library Association (ALA), the Library Insights track will feature sessions by Libraries Transform: ALA@BEA, which is sponsored by Libraries Transform, ALA's national public awareness campaign, and digital provider OverDrive. Also added to the 2016 schedule are tracks on children's publishing and self-publishing, two of the hottest segments in the industry today. And, of course, there will be plenty of books to pick up and author signings to attend.
Library People News: Hires, Promotions, Retirements, and Obituaries
Cheryl LaGuardia awarded the 2016 Isadore Gilbert Mudge Award; Bridget Quinn-Carey appointed CEO of Hartford Public Library, CT; Jacqueline Solis now Director of Research and Instructional Services at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Library; and more new hires, promotions, retirements, and obituaries from the March 15, 2016 issue of Library Journal.
Talk About Compassion | Office Hours
A common punch line in the librarian oeuvre pertains to the number of cats a particular librarian may own. We all know that librarians are dog people, too, as evidenced by the multiple Facebook photos I see of various canine biblio-companions. I am sure librarians also keep various other mammals, reptiles, and birds, but there is a natural fit between our love of four-legged friends and our calling to the profession.
Fracking the Ecosystem | Periodicals Price Survey 2016
What does fracking have to do with scholarly publishing and journal pricing? While the library financial landscape has improved since the depth of the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009, it still cannot be considered robust. As articles such as this one chronicle annual serials price increases, libraries, publishers, and vendors search for innovative ways to fulfill information needs within the finite, predefined budget environment. New business and access models ranging from the initial e-journal big deal packages, article pay per view, open access, mega-journals, and publisher e-journal database pricing have evolved in response to the environment; libraries, publishers, and vendors have merged, consolidated, or disappeared along the way. Just as fracking keeps the oil and gas flowing, these strategies enable the current scholarly publishing ecosystem to extract the necessary resources—intellectual and financial—to survive.

gingerbread cookie ornaments. it would be so cute to decorate a mini Christmas tree with just these.
Homemade gingerbread ornaments. I used to make these and the year my oldest was just old enough to be in a walker, all the cookie ornaments were gone from the bottom half of our tree! We had a happy baby though!
Homemade gingerbread ornaments. These are so pretty. It would be fun to make gingerbread cookies to hang on a Christmas tree centerpiece.
Isn't this a wonderful Christmas cookie ornament? You could make one yourself out of the Cinnamon Christmas Ornament recipe. Just think of the Christmas memories you would create year after year with the scent of one of those keepsakes hanging indoors! I think I may have to try this out. It would be something to hold on to when my daughter wants to take the cinnamon star she made in pre-school to hang on her own tree!

More About Using This Site and Buying Books Online:
Be Sure to Compare Book Prices Before Buy
This site was created for shoppers to compare book prices and find cheap books and cheap college textbooks. A lot of discount books and discount text books are put on sale by many discounted book retailers and discount bookstores everyday. You just need to search and find them. Our site provides many book links to some major bookstores for book details and book coupons. But be sure not just jump into any bookstore site to buy. Always click "Compare Price" button to compare prices first. You would be happy that how much you could save by doing book price comparison.
Buy Books from Foreign Country
Our goal is to find the cheapest books and college textbooks for you, both new and used books, from a large number of bookstores worldwide. Currently our book search engines fetch book prices from US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, France, and Japan. More bookstores from other countries will be added soon. Before buying from a foreign book store or book shop, be sure to check the shipping options. It's not unusual that shipping could take 2 -3 weeks and cost could be multiple of a domestic shipping charge.
Buy Used Books and Used Textbooks
Buying used books and used textbooks is becoming more and more popular among college students for saving. Different second hand books could have different conditions. Be sure check used book condition from the seller's description. Also many book marketplaces put books for sale from small bookstores and individual sellers. Make sure to check store review for seller's reputation when available. If you are in a hurry to get a book or textbook for your class, you would better choose buying new books for prompt shipping.

Super Moisturizing
Posted by Reviewer2157957 on Aug 11, 2011
These lip balms are some of the most moisturizing I have ever used. The effects last for hours without having to constantly reapply. My only problem is that I find them a little hard, but if you pop it in your pocket for a couple of hours and let it melt the texture improves greatly and stays that way. The Black Cherry scent is a bit mild, but nice and sweet.
Love it!

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday unanimously approved
Environmental Protection Minister Amir Peretz's proposal to revive a bill that
would prohibit sport hunting in Israel and increase the protection of animals in
their ecosystems."Wildlife will no longer be abandoned to sporting
games," Peretz said. "Today a significant step toward protecting animals has
been taken."The Environmental Protection Ministry first began promoting
a bill on the subject a few years ago, but the matter came to a stalemate in the
Knesset after passing through its first reading there in 2011.

For a long time now, there has been a near-nationwide backlash against overly liberal agendas.

At the heart of the movement to shut down game critique is an appeal to tradition and purity. Discussing how sexualized avatars contribute to the objectification of women in the real world or how playing games with sexist content makes sexist behavior more likely gets framed as an attack, similar to how women entering the workplace in greater numbers in the 1980s was often framed as an attack on the traditional gender roles celebrated in The Bible. Whenever women or other minorities speak up against systems that oppress them it challenges the idea that the current norm is good, and if the norm is not good, then we are bad for having supported or participated in it.
Criticism of the status quo, no matter how mild, is felt like an attack on a person's morality. Religious people in the '80s who were comfortable with traditional gender roles took the idea of someone else rejecting those roles as a judgment. Likewise, players who are perfectly happy with a white, male-centric, violent, heteronormative status quo in gaming feel judged for that happiness when marginalized people and their allies speak up about how it affects them.
Jef Rouner on the new censorship.]]>
When bookstores were the distribution path for books, they were also the primary avenue for "discovery". That was what the big store was about. People could browse it and find things they had no idea existed that they wanted to buy. But, as we all know, "discovery" now is largely an online thing, driven by some magical combination of "search engine optimization", social media promotion and word-of-mouth, and online retailer merchandising.
What some are still learning is "the fallacy of last click attribution". […] In a nutshell, that means that where somebody buys something is not necessarily where they made the buying decision. If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber getting free shipping on your books, you go to Amazon to buy regardless of where you learned about the book.
Mike Shatzkin on discovery.
The business-to-business focus of marketing in the publishing industry is something I've always found… interesting. That is to say, most marketing done by big publishing houses focuses on promoting titles not to the people who buy them (e.g. readers), but rather to stockists for big retails chains (and, to some extent, libraries). The publishers then rely on the retailers to do the "last mile" promotional push to the readers. Or not to do it, as the case may be. This model is sort of like if Hollywood did no marketing to the public, and instead relied on individual cinema chains to promote its films. Or if the videogame industry relied solely on promotional placements at Gamestop.
Publishing houses are starting to develop better business-to-consumer marketing channels, but they're very nascent and nothing like the sort of thing seen in other industries. Think videogames again, for example, where the industry has both media and consumers so in-pocket that not only can it afford to blacklist publications that don't give its products glowing reviews, but where this behaviour is actively supported by buyers. ("Ethics in videogame journalism" is a meme for a reason; think of the massive wankstorms that erupt whenever a publication dates to give an imperfect score to whatever the Triple A darling du jour happens to be.) Whether or not you, personally, believe this behaviour is "acceptable" or not, there's no denying it sells.
With books, the problem is that reader-to-reader "buzz"–which heavily includes fandom participation, like fanfic, fanart, and cosplay–is still one of the most effective (and cost-effective) marketing tools a book can have. And yet, in my experience, publishers seem to not only have no idea about how to promote this, but often seem actively hostile to the notion of doing so. And so the responsibility falls to authors, pretty much all of whom have both zero interest and zero skill at the job (which is why they're authors and not, like, marketing executives). And who are often receiving very, very bad advice on what they "should" be doing, self-promotion wise.1
I think publishers will probably get better at b2c marketing–I think they'll probably have to get better at it–but the road towards it will be… rocky. Particularly for authors.
Anti-intellectualism also comes out in full force on the anti-oppressive side of things. It manifests itself in the view that knowledge not just about what oppression, is like, but also knowledge about all the ethical questions pertaining to oppression is accessible only through personal experience. The answers to these ethical questions are treated as a matter of private revelation. In the academic field of ethics, ethical claims are judged on the strength of their arguments, a form of public revelation. Some activists find this approach intolerable.
Perhaps the most deeply held tenet of a certain version of anti-oppressive politics – which is by no means the only version – is that members of an oppressed group are infallible in what they say about the oppression faced by that group. This tenet stems from the wise rule of thumb that marginalized groups must be allowed to speak for themselves. But it takes that rule of thumb to an unwieldy extreme.
Let me give an example. A gay person is typically much better acquainted with homophobia than a straight person. Moreover, a gay person has a much greater stake in what society does about homophobia, so their view on the matter is more important. However, there is nothing about the experience of being gay in itself that enlightens a gay person about the ethics of sexual orientation.
To take a dead simple case, you don't have to hear it from a gay person to know that homosexuality is ethically just fine. If you're a straight person and a gay person tells you that homosexuality is wrong, you can be confident in your judgement that they are full of shit. In this situation, the straight person is right and the gay person is wrong about homosexuality and homophobia. Gay people have no special access to ethical knowledge, in general or about sexual orientation specifically. Gay people do tend to have better ethical knowledge about sexual orientation than straight people, but that is only because of how our life circumstances move us to reflect on it.
If I said the same thing about another context that isn't so simple — when the correct opinion isn't so obvious — I would be roundly condemned. But the example's simplicity isn't what makes it valid. People who belong to oppressed groups are just people, with thoughts ultimately as fallible as anyone else's. They aren't oracles who dispense eternal wisdom. Ironically, this principle of infallibility, designed to combat oppression, has allowed essentialism to creep in. The trait that defines a person's group membership is treated as a source of innate ethical knowledge. This is to say nothing about the broader problem of how you're supposed to decide who's a source of innate knowledge. Certainly not someone who innately "knows" that homosexuality is disgusting and wrong, but why not, if you're simply relying on private revelation rather than public criteria?
It is an ominous sign whenever a political movement dispenses with methods and approaches of gaining knowledge that are anchored to public revelation and, moreover, becomes openly hostile to them. Anti-intellectualism and a corresponding reliance on innate knowledge is one of the hallmarks of a cult or a totalitarian ideology.
Aurora Dagny knows everything is problematic.

The actual intent of this is to assist programmers whose native languages use non-Roman character sets. The practical result is that it means you can type code that looks like:

The idea of a fixed mindset, in which people are smart or not smart, stands in contrast to a growth mindset, in which people become intelligent and knowledgeable through practice. In her 2006 book The New Psychology of Success, psychologist Carol Dweck described the two: People with growth mindsets believe that the harder they work, the smarter they get. And the subtleties of the ways in which we praise kids are related to the mindsets those kids develop.
The group most damaged by fixed-mindset thinking is high-achieving girls, [professor of mathematics education at Stanford University Jo] Boaler argues, because it's girls who are told by society that they probably won't be as good as boys at math and science. That means girls are only more likely to avoid challenging themselves in science and math, and that aversion to making mistakes leads to less learning and progress. The more that certain disciplines cling to ideas of giftedness, the fewer female Ph.D.s there are in those fields.
