You haven’t seen a new form of money (not currency) go from $0 to $1 trillion before.

You haven’t seen something in the process of overtaking the market cap of gold—approximately $10 trillion.

The first trillion takes the longest; the next trillion will probably happen in far less time.

Currently digital money are used for the reserve deposits of commercial banks at central banks. If it keeps working this way, it won't be just a client, and you won't be able to switch it easier than now.
The mandate is not discsussed yet but could come. CBs are running many pilots since they don‘t know also whether CBDC would work for their incentive, since it has to be accepted by citizens and not create a shock to economy.

side note, „inclusive“ here refers to unbanked population. Today they can use cash, but many people specially in poor countries have no access to banking. A no-smartphone no-bank-needed digital cash could enable big part of countries to be included in financial system (some up to 40% of population)
This makes no sense. Are you saying that digital currency is a fancy term for a direct deposit? We've had direct deposits for a very long time. My tax refund comes as a direct deposit. The government seems to be able to directly give me money digitially just fine.

I very much enjoy my Moonlander. This is my first split keyboard so I have limited reference points, but the layout still seems quite sensible overall. There's a few things I wish were slightly different, though:

The lowermost of the three thumb keys and the red keys are a bit of a stretch to reach and I already have rather large hands.

The two keys on the bottom row closest to the center are quite comfortable to reach with my thumbs and I use them for extra modifiers. I hardly use the other keys on that row.

I prefer not to use the number row, I have mapped a numpad to another layer instead.
The linked page is an image which appears to be labeled with the name of the plant in four different languages, which I would guess are Latin ("Lat."), Malay ("Mal."), Arabic ("Arab."), and Sanskrit ("Bram.", which based on the following page appears to be "lingua Bramanum", which I assume is "the tongue of the Brahmins".)

The text is definitely Latin, but some things about it look odd to me. (I'm looking at page 107, right after the linked drawing.) Do you know what the circumflexes and graves signify?

The E in maximè is long, but so are unmarked Es in habEtur, rubEscente, and diffundEnsque. And the Us in verùm and cùm are short.

The circumflexes appear to be much rarer, but I see "sub eâ". That could be a helpful way to set off the ablative case from the nominative, but later down on the page I see "Folia cùm bina", unmarked.

Well, what I was actually thinking was that cold treatments could be killing off unrecognized, low-grade chronic infections and that may be leading to improved circulation and improved homeostasis.

Feet are notorious for being impacted first and worst by any circulation (blood) problems, which is why diabetics sometimes lose one or both feet to it (have them amputated, cuz reasons). And oxygen is a known means to kill certain kinds of infections (a la HBOT for Gangrene).
Every developer needs to have a certain understanding of the environment he tries to build something. Just like printing 3d models - you need to know the characteristics of the material and limitations of them and the machine you're using. Blaming one of these later on just because you didn't want to read the manual is unprofessional.
> Are you saying that digital currency is a fancy term for a direct deposit?

Basically yes, but specifically only for the case of a direct deposit between the Federal reserve and an individual. That doesn't currently exist.

But that's also basically my point. CBDCs are nothing new from an operational or technological perspective which I think is something many people are getting confused about. They are a new thing in terms of policy capabilities for central banks. They are not a new thing in any other way. All the technology already exists.

Central bank digital currencies can be blockchain based, they can be decentralised etc. In fact, he central banks that I have spoken to would rather have a decentralised currency, because it would mean less work for them.

The motivation of a central bank is easy; make sure the currency is liquid, make sure they can use the currency to affect inflation and so forth. Whatever setup gives them the best ability to meet those kinds of goals will be what decided what they go for.

They motivation and goals are quiet unique in that sense, it is totally different from the commercial banks or the private sector. Therefore I do believe we will see proper blockchain, decentralised, systems in the future.
I've been wanting to put it online for a long time to show how I do it for cases like this, but I need to strip it first of semi-confidential stuff because I hack it a lot to do work-related things. And it also need some documentation to be useful as an "educational" Forth. Maybe one day...

Ask HN: Why is Ethereum's market cap smaller then Bitcoin's?
Ethereum processes 3x as many transactions per second and has more use cases than Bitcoin.

Yet, its market cap is 1/4 of Bitcoin's market cap.

Is that because it is considered less secure? Is ETH less well distributed than BTC? Or am I missing something completely different?

If you're never going over 20kmph and you have big heavy DH tires on, you will still be experiencing a lot of rolling resistance for the majority of your ride. Considering my ride home is done at like 10-20kmph on a set of Maxxis Minions, rolling resistance should be making up ~50% of my total resistance. At 50psi I find I'm mostly on the centre of the tire, so not even rolling on the full 2.8" width like I would be at 20psi, which I can feel a difference in.

CyclingAbout has a great video about aero and bikepacking which is a good intersection of what we're talking about here, though he's using fast rolling tires:

> By the time you’re cycling at 30KPH, as much as 90% of the resistive force experienced comes from aerodynamic drag. And it’s not until you get down to 12KPH when rolling and air resistance are equal.

Sure. It is also by far the largest risk you face, so would solve a good 4 or 5 nines if the issue.

noreturn only works for functions which never return. Most panicking functions do return, just not all the time.

Is an IPS screen displaying static content better than a properly illuminated sheet of paper? I hardly believe that.

Of course I remember how difficult was to properly illuminate my notebooks when I was a kid. I guess I'd end up with two lamps on my sides and they are difficult to move as easily as a laptop.

For dynamic content, eg ls -la, scrolling through a file, watching to a video, doing a video call, it's no contest.
You’re not factoring in dividends. Dividends are a crucial component of returns of indices.
You can have deposit in a bank, and that bank has deposit in the central bank. That's the current situation. With CBDC, you can have deposit in the central bank. This is an important difference.

Oh, wait . . .
The central bank is CENTRAL. They want to CENTRALLY coordinate monetary activity. They are never going to sign up to decentralize their one policy tool.

I don't disagree that it is technically feasible to implement these on a block chain, and I think it is possible that there may be some effort to tokenize a currency to track it on a block chain in a secondary way, but that is very different from the block chain being the irrefutable source of truth for ownership of the currency for a sovereign. That will never happen.

The large problem is the limited funding. If there is only funding for 10% of applications and a large portion of the success hinges on previous success and your experience on this topic, then you automatically breed conservatism.
The transition can be done quickly enough, though probably not overnight in Europe (like with India's overnight demonetisation of the 500 and 1,000 Rupee notes).

In the current climate, where we're all ever so slightly microbiophobic, it'll even be easier to push through as a good thing, handwaving any concerns with respect to privacy and centralised control as conspiratorial.

Indeed I am aware of the intended meaning of "inclusive" in their texts, I just played around with expanding it a bit.

I am not familiar with NSan but other shadow value implementations will keep a higher precision copy of the numbers and follow them in the computation.

Yes agree completely and the same counter argument can be made for more advanced frontend frameworks.

Clubhouse: Shelter from the Storm
Fair enough. I guess it feels almost unbelievable that all this fuss is over something so mundane.

I guess i dont really understand why though. It sounds like the central bank is thinking about becoming, well, a normal bank. We already have normal banks. Governments can already transfer cash to accounts in normal banks. Governments can already sell bonds to people who want some sort of very stable investment backed by the state. What's the point of becoming a consumer bank? Why are they bothering? How do they benefit? Is there anything to this other than the desire to jump aboard the anything-that-sounds-remotely-like-bitcoin-even-if-unrelated hype train.

>Bardin also criticizes the organizational culture at Google that hardly allows for the dismissal of an employee who simply does not do his job properly. “The challenge was that, as Google employees, we were subject to all of the corporate hiring practices.

In Ireland it's the same, everyone uses WhatsApp. If I share my number with someone, it would be much stranger for me to receive an SMS from them than a WhatsApp message.

If I phone a tradesman, e.g. a plumber, and they ask for a picture of a job, the photo will be sent using whatsapp.

It's ubiquitous and it's assumed that if you're have a phone you have WhatsApp.

The only people I can think of that don't use it are my wife's grandparents, they use Facebook messenger for that purpose.

Back when people were switching to signal a lot of people cited the fact that signal needed a phone number as a reason not to use it, instead recommending session, threema, matrix.

But if signal didn't tie your account to your phone number there's no way I would have convinced any of my contacts to switch.

Having to exchange username or user IDs wouldn't have cut it, with whatsapp the service is deeply associated with you phone number and that's what people want.

Your version doesn't include any H.265 or later codecs, and H.264 only the parts of the codec that are available freely, so not a single cent of your purchase goes towards the codec license.

If you try to play anything else, you'll have to buy the Microsoft H.265 Codec Pack in the Microsoft Store.

Which, depending on device, country, and time, varies between 0,99€ and 4,99$.

The point of Windows N was to avoid users (or governments) having to pay for bundled codecs they don't need.
