You’re missing my point (which is probably my fault). It’s not about the financial mechanisms of currency exchange, it’s about the financial infrastructure. How does a crypto exchange support a new coin at genesis? They just add it to the platform. We’re arguing about the window dressing (currency spreads), and I’m talking about the technical implementation and fundamentals of supporting global treasury management.

Edit: @JumpCrisscross I am familiar with how TransferWise works under the hood. The underlying settlement system is the legacy slowly being replaced.
The Internet is a distributed system. Usenet was never centrally hosted anywhere AFAIK. It was scattered around lots of individual systems. You'd have to look up the detailed history but Deja News brought together what it could at one point. It was subsequently purchased by Google and it was folded into Google Groups.
Goldman realizes that soon there will be a Democrat in the White House, so now they and the rest of the right-wing is getting ready to be "fiscally conservative" again! Funny how that always happens just as liberals take power. A few weeks ago the problem was deflation, but Goldman can read polls as well as anyone and are changing their tune.

> This caused the right to de-emphasize those concerns and put more emphasis on the defense of the police.

But that's the choice, isn't it; faced with a choice between property damage, however minor or even theoretical, and human life (or the serious injuries incurred by protestors and journalists who had rubber bullets fired at their eyes), conservatives immediately turn around and defend the police.

The police can read between the lines as well as anyone else, so they interpret that as the voters ordering them to go out and injure as many protestors as necessary until the protests stop. Which, of course, escalates the protests.

Companies have a lot of leeway in deciding how to execute their fiduciary duty. They can honestly say "We believe giving our rank-and-file employees generous benefits and compensation is good for the long-term health of the business." and it couldn't be challenged in court. Some companies do in fact operate that way; for example, Costco. They don't all have to operate the way they do because of "fiduciary duty".

Best system in the world

Well, in all fairness, my and my wife's health care in the USA has been WAY better than it was in Japan. It costs like 20x as much, though. That's my theory as to why nobody in power wants to actually fix the US system. Maybe the system really is the best if you have unlimited money and unlimited tolerance for bureaucracy
Oh cool. I've been wondering to myself why the complexities of async cannot be abstracted into threads instead in an efficient way. I hope this pans out.
> If there's a sufficient need, Polish banks could establish an interbank settlement system through which they could transfer USD directly (e.g. similar to the one they have for transfering Polish zloty), but it's a hassle and has costs, so currently they have not done so because for them it's generally not a problem to route all USD payments through USA.

Doesn't it still need to be involved with USA? I mean, sure, they can use this settlement system to trade between each other independent of Fed, but ultimately the funds in the settlement system have to be stored as reserves in Fed, i.e. in some bank under US jurisdiction. So, after all, US still has control over this new settlement system, but now they can't freeze individual accounts in it, they can only freeze funds in reserve account(s) that this system consist of, potentially affecting many (innocent) parties. Am I right?

Sorry, I have to say that.

An attempt at lay terms: imagine particles are tiny hands, and they can switch between being left hands and right hands. So to 'entangle' two particles is to make them shake. This means we now know that one particle is a lefty and the other a righty (two lefts can't shake each other) but because they are so small we don't know which is which. Now (gently) separate the two particles and place each in a box. It is presently unknown which is lefty, and which is righty so at this point each particle is considered to be in a superposition of both lefty and righty. A la Schrodingers cat each particle '''hasn't decided''' if it is a left or right.

All QE states is that when we look in one box and see a right hand we know the other box contains a left hand - regardless of the distance between them. There is no provision or mechanism for shaking one particle and having a change occur with the other (information transfer).
Can anyone tell me how Google got hold of the whole usenet (I know it was like 15-20 years ago) which looks to me like a community service kinda thing.

> the US isn't an empire, having a large army doesn't mean you are an empire

An empire is a political unit that controls vast parts of the world and dictate their policies through military and economic means. This fits well on how the US operates. Unlike any other country, the US has military deployed practically in all continents and major oceans. The only difference between the US empire and the British empire is that the US likes to propagandize about the apparent freedom of their vassal states. In many part of the world, elections are only uphold if the elected support US policies (mainly through economic coercion), and when this doesn't happen the country is a target of coups, "regime change", or enters the "black list" of sanctions. For this reason, the US has several foreign spying and "regime changing" institutions, including the most famous CIA and NSA. All of this supported by mainstream US media, which has international reach and influence media in other countries. This is obvious with what happens at Venezuela, Iran, and Russia. More recently, China is entering the black list because it is increasingly seen as a threat to the US political hegemony.
Interesting viewpoint considering your comment is still visible.

I've worked on smartphone electronics and it's not as exciting as you think. I'm pretty sure they chose the i.MX8 because they couldn't source Snapdragons so they got a little luckier with NXP, but the vast majority of the engineering done on a smartphone is in firmware and software with absolutely shitty support from the manufacturer. Bug fixes that only get distributed to customers after they've ran into the bug and struggled with it for weeks (instead of just putting the bug fix into the BSP), no version control or historical view of vendor drivers or modified kernels, firmware that has "hello world" levels of polish, documentation that is only available under three levels of NDAs, and few open source projects to learn from for what are usually almost-but-not-quite bespoke PCBs. Worst of all, consumer hardware products can sell at such scale that it's worth it to keep an engineer working on a single bug for months at a time only to find out that it was a bug in vendor silicon all along - it is soul crushing. Silicon manufacturers have very little respect for software and it really makes the entire process a lot more painful than it should be.

Iterations in electronics are really expensive (my last project cost $30k for 10 assembled prototypes not including of our labor) so most people just copy as much of the manufacturers' reference design as they need. They pour over PCB layout notes and look at how the manufacturer or other customers did and mostly just copy them. Most of my engineering decisions are based on about a dozen black box helper apps that take in my fab's capabilities and signal specs and spit out DRC rules. It gets a little trickier with antenna design but that's often outsourced because you need very specialized facilities for FCC certification anyway.

All in all, it's just like working on a complex distributed system. There are so many things to juggle like R&D budget, per unit COGS and space budget, suppliers and part availability, and supply chain orchestration that it ends up being lots of boring work just to coordinate between all the different experts involved with small bursts of productivity when everyone is properly aligned.

Turn the bubble from Jerry Springer into NPR.

What kinds of people does Jerry select for? "GAY KLANSMEN WHO LOVE THEIR HOMOPHOBIC BOYFRIENDS TOO MUCH! IOWAN ZOUAVES FOR WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THE MANCUNIANS WHO ENABLE THEM!" The worst of the worst. The circus freaks of the Other Side. The ones voted most likely to throw a chair at someone, even though that was a different daytime TV host.

What kinds of people does NPR select for? The more reasonable ones. The ones who can talk and express ideas without flying into a frothy rage at the very notion of someone disagreeing with them or not agreeing with them quickly enough or not having been in agreement with them a month before they started talking. The ones who can debate.

> Nothing you're saying counters the original advice.

The original advice was to buy the cheapest thing and just use it. GP's advice was "Sometimes you don't know what the minimum viable is because you are a beginner and don't know yourself well in that field."

GP then gave specific examples of cheap products that aren't particularly suitable for beginners: (1) cheap running shoes that lead to bad habits and possible injuries and (2) cheap guitars that are difficult to play. For both examples, he described how as a beginner he lacked the experience to know what he needed.

I hear you. It took me around 2 years to finish, with a few other books interspersed as breaks from it. There were many nights in bed where I didn’t make it through a single whole page before passing out.

In the end I came away from it more with a feeling I had lived a part of life in another person’s (really several peoples’) shoes, less that there was any particular climactic aha! moment. Life, as wonderful as it is, still has its banalities and mundanities. You’re not missing out on a great truth, just a quirky story. Plenty of those to go around. Hope you find a good one!

Even ignoring link farming (which already ruined a lot of the web the first time around), inbound links to content is a proxy for quality of content, not an actual measure of quality of content.

It's just offloading the subjective part of search quality to the wisdom of the crowd, which often does not work out.
The whole backwards part about this is that the Schengen travel restrictions are still in place.

So somebody who has visited a Schengen country even with under 10 covid cases a week (like most Nordics) can't travel directly to the US.

They have to fly to a country like Mexico or Canada (which are both still battling covid) and then enter the border after 14 days.

Oh BUT if you're a US citizen or with a resident visa, you can enter from wherever.

Oh AND if you're a student with in person classes, you can enter.

But me with a house and a job and a visa, can't enter.

> that he simply died of an overdose by coincidence at that time, and that it would have been equally likely that he dropped dead during the five-minute period before Chauvin showed up

I'm saying that's a real possibility that is suggested by the county autopsy.

Thank you for the additional context on the drug levels. If you are right about this, then I am not sure how to explain what happened.

The neck restraint is described as "Compressing one or both sides of person’s neck with an arm or leg, without applying direct pressure to the trachea or airway", consistent with the county's autopsy finding of "no injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngealstructures". See page 9 of http://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases....

Here are some more details about what happened. Have a look starting at page 15.

It’s really just the browser that becomes difficult to use. For everything else you can find a decent lightweight option. I've been doing most of my computing on a raspberry pi 2 recently and it's just as productive as my main laptop outside of the browser, which is just an absolute hog for memory even when rendering basic pages.

CPU I could definitely take a hit (say, remove speculative execution, which seems like it would "fix" spectre) as I don't need to do my taxes or write or listen to music at maximum speed. My video game console doesn't need security at all and can continue to speculatively execute freely.

IMHO the days of general purpose compute at high performance are firmly over, different computation shapes have different cpu(/gpu) characteristics to optimize for.
"reading what I was looking for" Elaborate. Reading the content you found or reading your browsing history?

As for "independence," the question is how one could consider the county medical examiner to be independent, when they work for the same municipal government that employs the man who is accused of killing George Floyd.

It is possible that drug use contributed to George Floyd's death. But that doesn't matter, because according to US law, "the unexpected frailty of the injured person is not a valid defense to the seriousness of any injury caused to them."[1]

I'm a broken record on this, so you may have seen me point it out before, but NNTP started dying in the mid-late 1990s, when binaries took over. It was extraordinarily difficult to keep reliable full-feed binaries (NNTP is the dumbest conceivable way to share large binaries), and if you couldn't do that, customers would yell and ultimately abandon your service for a cheaper one, while opting for more centralized Internet NNTP services.

Ultimately I think the web would have eaten Usenet anyways, but it's a shame; we were Freenix-competitive (I think I independently invented the INN history cache), and that was some of the most fun I've had doing systems engineering work.
