Treat these email services for what they are: Alternatives to Gmail or Outlook with a security perspective and automated encryption features. <br/><br/>Yes, people on social media can't read, but IMO they should approach their service in a different way ("A reasonably secure email provider" is my suggestion) If they don't want people ratioing them all the time... Most of these people getting the wrong answer is because their site can be pretty ambiguous about the technical details without searching a few pages deep for it. Posteo is an email provider that does openly clarify they can be compelled to intercept incoming emails in a better way than how Proton says it.<br/><br/>Still doesn't mean these services are a bad thing though.<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsdx03qmfkt9ft4cecwq4tlhgy068h3z75vulp7uq7grlr2t90pzvspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsyg9e3hk5e6h2ypusm09ncv2qq6fqp8f5clueylpgdq66nxm5sxjuygpsgqqqqqqsgqltja" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…ltja</a></span> </blockquote> 2026-01-25T15:27:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9fxu5wxn433jnz7wyud59yc69sg4gj9a9h93d0rtgccm80zhd5fczypez72gkrc8tm6rvnl4f4gavkn8w8hcka8zunpzqtgds9vw9laflg0l5fcz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2gf906cpuq77mryq579c7j5vawm9jjc5ljrn6gprpk08hhua7f5cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduzqpc7s'>nevent1q…pc7s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah.

Before they&#39;ve been seduced by the salaries and perks big tech can offer. Before they&#39;re on the hedonic treadmill. Before they have mortgages and families and responsibilities.<br/><br/>Pay them, but don&#39;t pretend you can compete with big tech.

I&#39;m still on the side of Mises, but apparently reasonable Austrians can disagree. However...<br/><br/>&#34;The hoarder isn&#39;t postponing consumption...&#34;<br/><br/>Hoarding a good does provide present utility, but that is not the same as consuming it. A non-perishable good like money is not used up, or worn out, or otherwise diminished in utility when it is held. The hoarder retains the full (present and future) services of the good until it is *actually* consumed or exchanged.<br/><br/>Rothbard recognized that too, as you mentioned above when he refers to 3 margins, not 2; and you yourself refer to hoarding as orthogonal, which would not be the case if hoarding and consumption were identical.<br/><br/>&#34;A purely psychological &#34;orientation toward the future&#34; that never manifests in willingness to lend isn&#39;t economically meaningful because it produces no observable market phenomena.&#34;<br/><br/>Hoarding is not purely psychological. Hoarding in an exchange economy reduces demand for all other goods and increases the exchange value of the hoarded good. It definitely has effects in the market. This was the point of the 2nd Mises quote in my original reply. Whether those effects are observable is not relevant to economic theory.<br/><br/>&#34;The HODLer who won&#39;t lend at any rate has revealed infinite time preference in the only sense that matters economically: no offered future return compensates him for parting with present capital.&#34;<br/><br/>The interest rate here is undefined, not infinite. You can&#39;t infer from a refusal to exchange present for future goods that the reason was an insufficient interest rate. Observed interest rates are partially explained by time preference, but they are not identical with it, nor do they measure it. There is always an entrepreneurial component. <br/><br/>It&#39;s the &#34;stay humble&#34; part of &#34;stay humble and stack sats.&#34; 2026-01-14T01:16:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz4l5xtymlgvakyma7dm88s6gzfp98y38zvqknsjvqj3ytf7lj46czypez72gkrc8tm6rvnl4f4gavkn8w8hcka8zunpzqtgds9vw9laflg73mw36 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxw39nx72pav6v327uk5mpac2u0nvmx3649ewmvfu90r4sw25cucspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg3y2m45'>nevent1q…2m45</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think Rothbard is not clarifying Mises there; he is contradicting him, and I think he is making a mistake in doing so.<br/><br/>I would say (and I think I am following Mises) it is the proportion between consumption and non-consumption (hoarding + investment) that reflects time preferences.<br/><br/>Again from Human Action:<br/>&#34;He who consumes a nonperishable good instead of postponing consumption for an indefinite later moment thereby reveals a higher valuation of present satisfaction as compared with later satisfaction&#34;<br/><br/>That&#39;s time preference, and there is no need to invoke investment or interest to explain it.<br/><br/>If the stored coconuts keep Crusoe alive while he builds a boat...then what? They provide all the same present utility prior to consumption. Are they now an investment rather than a hoard? What&#39;s the difference?<br/><br/>There is no obvious distinction between saving and investment in an autarchic economy.

(I think you will find that there is no difference.)<br/><br/>&#34;...whether it reveals time preference through the mechanism of originary interest. Mises himself defines originary interest as the discount of future goods against present goods in exchange, which hoarding by definition does not involve since no temporal exchange occurs&#34;<br/><br/>But Mises does not say that originary interest is the ONLY way time preference is expressed.

Second for the case of capitalist saving in which the choice is to be made between the immediate consumption of a quantity of goods and the later consumption either of a greater quantity or of goods which are fit to provide a satisfaction which--except for the difference in time--is valued more highly.&#34;<br/><br/>--&gt; Both plain savings (i.e., hoarding) and investment are expressions of time preference.<br/><br/>On the productivity of plain savings:<br/><br/>&#34;If an individual employs a sum of money not for consumption but for the purchase of factors of production, saving is directly turned into capital accumulation. If the individual saver employs his additional savings for increasing his cash holding because this is in his eyes the most advantageous mode of using them, he brings about a tendency toward a fall in commodity prices and a rise in the monetary unit’s purchasing power....The effect of our [p. 522] saver’s saving, i.e., the surplus of goods produced over goods consumed, does not disappear on account of his hoarding. The prices of capital goods do not rise to the height they would have attained in the absence of such hoarding. But the fact that more capital goods are available is not affected by the striving of a number of people to increase their cash holdings. If nobody employs the goods--the nonconsumption of which brought about the additional saving--for an expansion of his consumptive spending, they remain as an increment in the amount of capital goods available, whatever their prices may be. Those two processes--increased cash holding of some people and increased capital accumulation--take place side by side.&#34; 2026-01-13T15:18:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq65mhv3v0sd8wa6pll73yunyl7twcv7j5q4lye6gufa3qwe4ec2qzypez72gkrc8tm6rvnl4f4gavkn8w8hcka8zunpzqtgds9vw9laflg6eajea In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs86m67z9aj8ws4xfwk94at7yydxaulpzdsr278eq098rqfpwmv27cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgewf0ml'>nevent1q…f0ml</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&gt; Time preference is not a moral category, and &#34;lower&#34; is not inherently better than &#34;higher.&#34;<br/><br/>Agree.<br/><br/>Lower time preference is *usually* (and reasonably) seen as virtuous, but there are limits, and it depends on the circumstances.<br/><br/>Scrooge is a great example of low time preference as a vice.
