How Banks Create Money

---

I call bullshit on that article. First of all, banks have never "created" money at all. It just doesn't fucking happen. If a loan is made for $90k out of a deposit of $100k by a customer, the bank does not have $90k. They have $10k until the borrower paid the money back. In this case the money comes from the borrower, plus some interest. That interest is what makes money for the bank.

In the article, it shows that the initial deposit of the customer is $100k. They went on to note that a series of other loans can be made off this deposit, this case totaling (after interest for the depositing customer) $238,900. Now, here's the funny thing, the money wasn't created. It still has to come from somewhere. In this case, the borrower's pockets. It is paid back with existing money in circulation. So how do they make money? They don't create it, that's for damn sure. They charge borrowers interest, and rates are based on the borrower's credit, and how well the banker is feeling that day.

So there you have it. The bank does not fucking create any money.

What is this evil wizardry?

Or rather, what approach do you recommend to work with it in a sensible manner? My first intuition was to (tail -f out &) && cat > in, but that obviously only really works well while you stay in a single channel.

---

Tmux.

tmux split-window -l 2, tail -f out in one pane, vi in in the other. Ctrl+b c to add a new window for a new channel. If I actually used IRC for more than one channel, or restarted more than once a month, I would write a script to do this stuff automatically.

Vi is a little clumsy because you need to ^[:w every time you write a line; I’d like to hack together something more natural based on the vi mode in ksh or bash sometime. And speaking of vi, vim doesn’t seem to work well with FIFOs, while nvi and ex-vi do.

Also, your example wouldn’t work because nothing would get written until the cat process receives an EOF. You would have to re‐run cat every time you said something.

My cat (GNU coreutils - which one does openbsd use anyway, heirloom?) flushes upon receiving \n. I don't see a reason for it not to do so, either; it would make it horribly inefficient, if not useless, for piping things through (I suppose "an infinite stream" alone would make the use of cat itself questionable, but imagine, for instance, the rather realistic use case where you want to pipe a potentially very large/open-ended stream coming from somewhere into gzip, appending a finite terminator if it ends).

---

My mistake. BSD cat does this too. That’ll teach me to try to correct people.
