I was answering to a person who said that RUB lost half of its value against USD in a span of a year. I just pointed that it is a part of a general trend, what do you find ridiculous about that?

Btw, 'a trillion times' is an understatement. Exact figure in 2014 was... 57 460 000 000 000 000 (fifty seven quadrillion four hundred and sixty trillion) times [1], and just add some more since that time. Still thinking that bitcoin is a risky currency, huh?

> Modulars are expensive!

So often eurorack synth building ends up in addiction like gear acquisition syndrome that it's almost like gambling. The only reasonably priced building is via DIY kits, but it still end up expensive and even more so time consuming, so it suits those who like soldering more than making music. I'm excited for a few digital eurorack modules, like Erica Synths Black Wavetable VCO, but no one could argue that it's affordable for a hobbyist.

Your own first paragraph demonstrates the answer to your own question. 10% GDP is loads, and some of those military bases are the only places you currently have where you can fix up your “independent” nuclear deterrent.

> You can't take orders on behalf of others

This law does not say that at all. It's completely silent on whether the platform can take orders. It prohibits a single specific action, and that action is arranging for the delivery of an order.

> you can freely arrange for someone in an app to "make an order" for you and then fetch the meal.

You can arrange for them to make an order if you want to. That's allowed. But "fetching" sure sounds to me like they are delivering the order. They can't deliver it unless they have the specific authorization from the restaurant.
Thanks, that looks like a good resource for my learning style. I usually learn new things by playing around with code before diving into theory (I know that this sounds backwards).
That sounds like an interesting narrative.

How well is it accepted in the historical community (or whatever you call the community of history scholars)?

I'm afraid it's pretty easy to come up with lots of interesting narratives, and then search for evidence to support them, and as somebody not in the field, I'd easily fall for each of them.
The article suggests to use torify, which is a thin "best effort" wrapper to route traffic through Tor. If the more secure torsocks is available, it will use it. However, it will fall back to less secure tunneling methods that can leak DNS and UDP in cases where torsocks is not available.

It is recommended to install and use torsocks directly instead, because this will prevent leakage.
It's easy to see things black and white when you're not well informed.

Man, those two comments sound uncharitable. In the first paragraph Andy states:

The words "prompt"/"spaced repetition" are basic jargon for such systems.

But to make this comment at least a bit helpful, too: An example of a "prompt" in a spaced repetition system is the front of a flashcard. It's "spaced repetition" because you look at them multiple times, spaced out over time.

Of course, if you out the Game Genie in the 1993 model, you really would break it. Galoob or whoever marketed the Game Genie did make a top-loading model, but as I recall, they are very rare.

I got an NES in 1988 when I was 4 or 5 and it died in 1993 and I got the new design for my birthday (a month before I got an SNES for Christmas, so it didn’t get a ton of use). I stupidly sold it at a garage sale for $20 in 1995, not realizing it would be worth a ton later on. But in 2001 or 2002, I actually took that original NES to an authorized repair center, they shipped it off and it returned, essentially brand new. It still works today. As I recall, I paid less than $50 for the repair, which was less than a front-loading NES was going for at the time on eBay. The fact that Nintendo would service a system that was 16 or 17 years old always stuck with me, especially since Sony disavowed working on a 1996 or 1997-era PSX at that same time (I managed to fix it myself, but Sony was utterly disinterested in even allowing me to pay to repair a misaligned laser and just wanted me to buy the redesigned PS One). It’s part of why I’ve continued to be a loyal Nintendo customer for more than 30 years.
If everyone behaves then there is no problem with this setup, however if the middleman is improperly suggesting that y is buying directly from X when they are taking a cut then perhaps a reasonable solution is to ban middlemen altogether.

That's actually can be circumvented rather trivially. Wallets are anonymous, and you can just do some mixer transactions off chain. Wallet A pays to mixer M, mixer's address N sends funds to wallets B and C minus comission. In effect A paid B (and C), and nothing links them to each other. Schemes can get even less transparent with Lightning network.
A stopped clock is right twice a day for a duration of 0 seconds. A correct digital clock showing seconds is right 86,400 times a day for a duration of 0 seconds.

So it is 2 x 0 = 0
versus 86,400 x 0 = 0

Looks the same to me!
On the topic of blocking distractions, I've found that creating a separate user account for focus time helps quite a bit, since it's sufficiently annoying to remove that particular barrier. Choosing not to configure a keyboard shortcut for account switching was a good call, too.

I tried using multiple Little Snitch profiles or different browsers on the same user account in the past but switching between them is way too low effort for my easily distracted brain. Getting back into distraction mode can be performed on autopilot in those cases.

That little delay in waiting for my watch to unlock my user account is just long enough to make me stop and think, and the vibration is like a gentle slap on the wrist.

My focus account has a single Little Snitch profile configured to block the time-vampires I know I'm susceptible to, along with Firefox configured to clear history on close. I don't need to be reminded Twitter exists just because I opened my browser and pressed T, they should at least have to pay for the privilege of advertising to my brain!

In general I think that taking full advantage of computers to make absolutely everything instantly accessible is in many ways actively harmful to many types of brains. We live in an economy and too many of us just give that stuff away.

Boris’ stock is pretty high right now, he’s just lead the country through COVID and got the brexit deal he wanted at the same time. Whether you like him or not that was no easy feat, it’s unlikely he would have any reason to resign unless something crazy happens in the next 12 months.

The affects of brexit won’t be felt just yet, and I don’t see his party pushing him out unless they’ve found a reasonable successor.
> oh what is this very specific definition of what money is does the non-random guy on internet have?

Each and every single random guy on the internet who wants to buy stuff with money cares about money, and the properties that allow something to work as money.

Specifically, properties like being stable in its value within the market, and reliable both as a means of deferred payments and meet debts.

Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency, is nothing of the sort. Far from it.
Uber or AirBnB maybe?

We use Kubernetes, according to our IT/devops guys it was pretty straightforward to deploy in Azure with Jupyterhub's KubeSpawner module + documentation. A few people are quite eager to learn Python / code in general, so we try to make it convenient. One common use case would be to work with existing excel spreadsheets, so the notebook volume storage should be mountable in Windows. The file upload/management in notebook servers is quite obtuse IMO.

If a recurring task can be reasonably parameterized then a Streamlit app might be a better choice in some instances. I've developed a monitoring application for our portfolios where I can track daily asset weights, underlying data points, computations etc. Not displaying code ensures that the output can be consumed by a wider audience.
"The idea behind the fund was that Chinese manufacturers and developers could be given discounts on ARM intellectual property in exchange for investment into the fund."

In Germany, there's GeldKarte. Still relatively widely supported on public transportation ticket machines and cigarettes vending machines, so they can be used offline.

I found it awesome to use with at-home recharging (with an appropriate card terminal) and use on trains. Often, the ticket machine would refuse coins or not have change. Electronic payment to the rescue! :)

Unfortunately, its fate is already sealed with basically all banks having announced their withdrawal from the system.

This is itself a sort of philosophical commitment - and again, not one shared by Gödel or the logicist program.
lol. That's nice. I can see from the trademark point of view, it makes sense to stop other people from listing your business in their list, brands should be protected. But providing a service for customer should be legal. It would be the same as Taxi drivers should be able to pick you up from your home to a business without the permission of the business.
I believe every country has laws against distributing food if you don't have some sort of approval from some sort of health and safety department.

If you do it once, nobody is going to care, but if you try and make a business out of other people's food, you'd best be compliant.
I honestly don't know if that's comparable. Romans didn't have any way to know the dangers of lead. Early 20th century people had very limited knowledge on radioactivity.

Now you can read up about non-ionizing radiation as much as you like, for free, and discover that despite hundreds of studies done on it non-ionizing radiation does not cause cancer. Not to mention that the frequencies used by 5G have been used by other things for years and clearly never caused much controversy. Same about GMO - you can read up on it and educate yourself, you can discover real things you should be upset about(like GMO crops which can resist glycophosphates so that farmers can use roundup to dessicate plants before harvest - the problem isn't the plants, the problem is the farming practice).

So sure, we have the right to be wary - but that right should be followed by research, not by indulging in conspiracy theories about Billy Gates trying to control everyone with vaccines. That's just dumb.

For a polyphonic synth though it was a game-changer, it did make it affordable, but so did sh-101 and countless other synths but those weren't polyphonic.

I'd love to hear your feedback and how would you grow it as a business :)
Honestly the language used makes it sound like the Game Genie was a cheating device, but it was a lot more than that. Game Genie allowed you to breathe new life into your old games.

I had the game genie for Sega Genesis. I had like 15 games for it, and I played some of them like Sonic 2 and Kid Chameleon a lot. Sega games didn't have a way to save them, so you played the beginning levels again and again until you knew the Blue Hill Zone map inside and out. "Cheats" were the only way to change this. Even without GG, you could enter debug mode in Sonic 2, (1 9 9... Damn I can't remember the rest.) and use it to reshape levels in fun new ways.

Game Genie gave you access to those sorts of features on all your games. Sure, being able to jump higher is helpful in Mario, but in Sonic the Hedgehog it's just different, and sometimes harder. My friends and i tried thousands of codes at random, noting the ones that still loaded a playable game.

We also noticed the digits of the hex codes were significant. So to stick with the jumping example, we figured out which digits meant "jumping code" and then tweak the others. I didn't know what hexidecimal was, so it was a wow moment when I realized a > 9

I think it's worth noting that Sega incorporated the thru-cartridge design of the GG into the game Sonic and Knuckles. If you connected it to other Sonic titles you could play those games as Knuckles. If you connected it to any other random game you got new levels of the mini ring collecting game that was part of Sonic 3/Sonic and Knuckles.
Life will continue.
That's $300 million today, which illustrates your point further.
I like apple devices, I always hated to develop for them. The burden of review on app store is just too much. I would rather prefer to do a web app and to be free, to make quick releases instead of chatting with apple reviewers for weeks when you need to publish some critical release. I don't need apple customers, neither they payment system. Web is king.

I hope this to be the case, but the large businesses that own large chunks of city real estate will push hard to get people back in and paying rent.

Frankly, I hope some areas are abandoned or made radically cheaper, and are reclaimed by impoverished artists and other bohemians. This process has happened in the past and has enriched many old cities. By the same token, I'd also love to see blue-collar workers able to move back into cities where they work, but where they're currently priced out of house ownership.

We might see a boom in commuting two or three days per week, and a growth in clusters of more localised communities, more like villages than cities. They might encircle a city made of a mix of business meeting places (office blocks) and the more bohemian/blue-collar pockets I mention.

At least, that's what I'd like to see. I don't know if it's a prediction as such.

I'd also like to see desk- and office-rental businesses openly embrace this and explicitly move away from current models that encourage the corporate sterility seen in many modern cities, and towards an enriched, happier working environment.

I can hope!
> I suppose the best historical corollary would be gold?

Not really a good analogy. The difference between gold and other forms of alternative currency, is the ease at which it can be transferred.

This whole situation only works, in the case where it is simple and easy to transfer between the deflationary, and non deflationary currency.

Obviously, the ease at which it is possible to transfer currency to other people, is an important factor as to why someone would or would not use a currency.

> if goods are priced in national currency, it's handy to keep your working capital in that same currency.

Not necessarily. If there are easy ways of instantly transforming your deflationary currency, automatically, without you having to do anything, into that other currency, then there is no need to hold that other currency.

> Why do people want USD instead of gold?

Obviously it is because it is pretty difficult to spend gold at your supermarket.

This isn't a problem though, if you have a cryptocurrency credit card, for example, that immediately turns your deflationary crypto, into USD.

JIRA using JIRA.... is it too easy to claim this finally explains the total lack of end user experience in JIRA? I mean just look at all the comments here complaining about performance, search, dependencies or broken WYSInotWYG editors. The four primary features of such a tool. This has been the state of every jira installation i've ever used the past years.

Someone else has mentioned that impersonation is certainly already illegal, and the right solution would be prosecution instead of making a new law, and I agree. I'm not from CA/US so I have no idea why the legislators felt the need for a new law.
I don't think this particular law (AB2149) is just a b2b issue, which is how I interpret your opinion to be. I think that this is a consumer issue as well. For example, as you said, I think unapproved listings are more prone to misrepresent menus and hours, especially the latter during these turbulent times. In one extreme instance, I've also seen a delivery site start listing a restaurant that has never been open for business.

No, and I have no clue how you could get that from what I wrote. To move back into a more familiar domain, Rice's theorem puts a frustrating limit on what we can accomplish via static analysis of programs, and yet the static analysis we can do remains extremely helpful in programming.
