Maybe it is an opportunity to convert some commercial space into residential space and make the City more affordable ?

If really so many companies are going remote, then all the commercial landlords would have to find ways to make money out of their commercial space.

Any reasons that could prevent it (e.g. stringent zoning code, preventing conversion from commercial to residential) ?
I guess something like the Wireworld computer? (https://www.quinapalus.com/wires10.html – another fascinating topic, by the way…)

That one only uses MOVs, too, but the simulated CPU has a number of special registers implementing a number of basic operations, so instead of having to manually implement them the hard way using only MOVs (which in the particular case of the wireworld computer probably wouldn't even be possible due to its constrained resources and architecture), you can "cheat" by simply MOVing your operands into the respective special registers and then reading the result.
No. The essence of a Ponzi scheme is that outsized returns are fraudulently produced by using new investment funds to pay for withdrawals rather than being invested or retained. That's pretty much what Tether is alleged or suspected to be doing.
Totally agree. The issue is Frontier seems to have lied their ass off about speeds that wouldn’t ever be possible over POTS.

And I’ll concede that oversub for DIA is totally different. Surely it’s still possible somewhere but ever less and less likely considering how much larger a 1Gbps fiber pipe is a 56k connection to 15k people at once.

But for actual broadband... I know ISPs over subscribe because I’ve seen it. I’ve been on the calls and in the room when it’s being calculated. Literally everyone does it. Speed boost and overprovisioning are tricks to please customers who are willing to accept “lots of people are online tonight so it’s slow”.
There is another theory that if BTC falls below X, mining is no longer profitable so the network would halt, and these points correlate with tether expansions, and the exchanges and whales are incentivized to look the other way
Chrome originally integrated RSS feeds in the new tab page, to show you when there were new posts on sites you frequently visited. We cut the feature just before launch, because it wasn't fully baked, and never resurrected it. (I know this because I worked on this code.)

With more perspective on the problem, I think the way we implemented it at the time was wrong, with the XML processing done in unsandboxed C++. At the time, Chrome didn't use any HTML for its UI like the new tab page, so only web content was sandboxed, but with today's perspective it's obvious to me you want to process XML content with the same sandboxing indirection you use for other untrusted data formats. So in retrospect I'm glad the feature didn't launch as it was, because it would've been a security disaster.

Also my recollection is that the code wasn't great. (I feel allowed to say that because I authored it -- I'm not slagging on my coworkers.)

A Ponzi scheme involves paying out old investors with new investors money. There's a few steps inbetween but Tether (and by extension the whole cryptocurrency market) is very much within that definition. If people stop buying cryptocurrency tomorrow, the entire system collapses, because it's entirely dependent on new money coming in. If you disagree, a breakdown of where you think this differs from a Ponzi scheme would be much appreciated -- is there another type of fraud scheme it fits into in your view?
Not quite the complete solution maybe, but I have been using split keyboard (Sinc, Quefrency) for a long time and have been lately drifting towards making each half somewhat independent by using layers/ modifier keys. I am more focused on left hand, but I thought maybe it could be adapted for the right.

You don’t need a special Keybaord to try it out, can just used Karabiner Elements (OSX) or Autohotkey (Windows). Lmk if you’d want some template scripts for either, happy to share them with you.

I have Caps mapped to Layer-1 which allow me to do CAPS (pinky)+ WSAD (arrows), g(backspace), we (PGup, PGdn), z (enter).

Now I don’t want to reach for number keys from [7] to = and I just map them to CAPS + 123456.

Recently i realized that I often have reach for the letter keys on the second half (y, n for example for notification windows), so I remapped some letters to those.

I am thinking of actually drawing up a layout which will allow me to use the sides interchangeably but still need to figure out which Modifier key to use, that could be as convenient to press with the pinky as Capslock.

For the right side I assume it could be same or, possibly even somewhat easier since, depending on the keyboard you’d have more keys reachable with a pinky to experiment with.

Alternatively, if you dislike this pinky-centric approach or feel like you’d want to use all the fingers for typing, you could possibly do the same but with a foot pedal as a modifier / layer switcher. I suppose if I was to find myself in a situation where I have to type with just one hand, I’d look into the pedals that can send HID commands (to keep things simple for OS) or even get a couple of those jumbo mechanical keyboard switches and use them as foot-actuated modifiers / layer switchers.
Downsizing is usually complicated and can be expensive and/or distracting.

Particularly if you don't think it will last long, I can see a bunch of companies taking a wait-and-see approach.
Ooooh that didn't used to be true, from what I saw! Happy that changed. I can clean up a bunch of images on my side.
I don't see it either. 1 USDT = 1 USD ± 0.01.
Not only that but then convinced the majority of the network to rewrite the transactions and alter history!
They have increadibly short lives for such intelligent creatures.

We eat them and in many cultures the death is horrific by any standard: eviscerated, and beaten to soften the flesh in an organism with a widely distributed brain.

The environment they live in is fragile, damaged and shrinking but is beautiful.
This is the most egregrious of misdefinitions of a ponzi scheme that gets thrown around becuase it literally fits the profile of every security and commodity in existence.

You are describing the law of supply and demand in an open market place.
But aren't those USD balances?

Isn't the idea that if many people try to convert USDT to USD, they won't be able to, So they won't have FDIC insured USD?

I'm fairly certain that would be news to many of its adherents. The bitcoin whitepaper begins with, "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

Yes it will. Microsoft is gradually pulling out all support for it, with this year being the big start of that.

Very soon, it'll become more work for admins to maintain IE11 installations than it will be for them to migrate to Edge with IE11 compatibility mode. Admins tend to choose the path of least work.

You're only going to need to support IE11 indefinitely if your enterprise app requires IE11. Otherwise, your company is probably going to be able to pull the plug at some point in the next 2 years, depending on your specific customer base.
Very good!

I've been using the advantage pro (first model) for more than a decade after using (and trying) a ton of other keyboards, including popular choices like the microsoft natural line, some oddballs like the ergomagic (now defunct), split-flat (goldtouch go!) and so on...

For my personal preference the advantage is the best. I've trained both with dvorak and querty, and honestly didn't see any significant difference in either. For practical purposes I'm sticking with qwerty.

What makes the difference is:

- Columnar layout. Typing on a staggered layout just feels very wrong after getting used to a simple columnar layout. You don't need to get fancy with the rest: this is the #1 improvement for me.

- Thumb cluster for modifiers. This completely changes the dynamic of how shortcuts are executed.

- Good palm rest and key arching. The position overall feels just right when either hovering over the keyboard OR resting on it. Sadly, this result in a big keyboard that takes a ton of space.

What I don't like about it:

- Very bad position for ESC and overall position and switches for the Fn keys. I would have done another row just above instead of their layout.
- Bad choices for some key positions (I'd move shifts to the thumb cluster and move away home/esc, INS is unusable, etc). Overall the kinesis' choice is to allow easier switchover from a regular qwerty keyboard so I do at least get the reasoning for the layout.
- Too tall on the desk. I wished they would shave 3-4cm in height just by removing the empty space inside.

It's actually an easy keyboard to pick-up and start to use. Looks daunting, but most people I've challenged to try can get by after a few minutes thanks to the familiar qwerty layout.

To remain on topic, I really like the squeezebox on principle. There are some very interesting prototypes shown in the page (the vertical layout is something I'd love to physically try).

I do agree with other commenters that some finger movement is actually good, for the same reason is not healthy to stick your hand on the palmrest while typing.

There are not enough keys IMHO. I've contemplated multiple times to 3d-print myself a kinesis clone and/or an ergodox-alike, but I'd probably go for 5 rows and 6 columns per cluster at least in order to have the Fn keys as a _part_ of the cluster.

You can physically ignore extra keys in such a layout. One extra column on the sides or top row makes no difference if you don't use the key often, so you might just as well have the extra convenience available.

Clearly, the same is not true in a design like the squeezebox. And I don't want to criticize the squeezebox for this. I greatly believe different people might like different physical approaches to typing.
My money doesn't seem to fit in any of the slots on my computer...

Apple just keeps knocking it out of the park and into a completely new sports metaphor assistive technology provision, they really do. Any measure, I'm a massive nerd/geek/hacker and I really have looked into alternatives both in the open source and proprietary basis and nobody at all is assistive technology as well as at all right now.

It really is as simple as whenever I have a new iShiny, I pounds on the nearest able-bodied monkey and get them to take total box and connected to Wi-Fi and then it's all me. From then on I don't need any more able-bodied assistance whatsoever with setting up the new device, it's awesome. And whilst it's been a few months, the last time I looked known of the other major players were able to come anywhere close to this level of frictionless setup for quadriplegics like me.

ALSO! ALSO! Let's not forget that this isn't some crappy subset of functions that quadriplegics have to settle for whilst everybody else gets the full fat version of the software. Nope, with very few exceptions pretty much anything an able-bodied person can do with their iShiny I'll be able to do as well. Just a little slower.

Apple, and specifically their approach to accessibility is only one of many reasons I'm able to work, see my family and generally engage with society as well as I currently do.

Also, I quite like the term cripple, differently abled or on a good day Stuart. WTF cares what label you give me, I am much more interested in whether this laptop enables me to do the shopping independently and see my Nieces without having to check with an able-bodied person first.

you go to Picasso with a piece of blank ordinary paper. The paper says "Guernica" on it. You get his signature. There is a notary with you and it is notarized.

That's an NFT. You now have a signed piece of paper that refers to a piece of art that you don't actually own. You're free to go to the museum (in NFT this is IPFS, or the regular web) and see it. But so is everyone else.

Now imagine instead of Picasso signing your piece of paper, an autopen is signing it. Pumping out however many copies of that signature it wants to in a day. And instead of a notary it's the blockchain recording the transaction.

That's an NFT.

My experience of BTC is when people say “I don’t want inflation” what they really mean is “I want my money to go up in value”.

Which ultimately just ends up in people wanting speculation.

A bit of a generalisation, but I know plenty of people who hold Bitcoin and they all are buying it because it might be worth more in the future, and none are buying it to transact in Bitcoin and use it as a currency.

That's only natural. That audio time is based on the speed of the speaker's cadence. If it's a live presentation, there tends to be pauses, ums, uhs, deliberate pauses and what nots while the speaker gathers their thoughts or allows a statement to sink in before continuing. If you were to speak at the same pace you were reading, the audience would probably not be able to follow.
Is there a meaningful difference between them paying the influencers in USDT compared to paying them in USD? It doesn't seem hard to convert the USDT to USD at par so I can't see the difference.
I used Arch a lot back in the days there was no dkms (got a new kernel? Recompile your gpu module otherwise no desktop on the next reboot, specially with nvidia) and Arch is a very good place to learn Linux, but I eventually went to Debian because everything just works.

I think you're misunderstanding some of the moving parts here. All of those deductions you described would be taken either way, whether the tax is on the individual or on the corporation. They are already taken today to shave down corporate tax liability. So at best, the objection you're raising is a zero sum game. But even worse than that, and as a matter of fact, there would be less incentive to fulfill all of the compliance burden of tracking those deductions if corporations were not taxed but individuals were.
Don’t they hold things like treasury bills which are practically equivalent to USD?

CL here (major coastal city) offers most non apartment complexes symmetric gigabit fiber. They are still running a free install/modem deal too. Pain in the butt to run power for their ONT box but I'm sitting at $65/month flat rate for gigabit with zero downtime since install 3 months ago.

My other option is Comcast but for anything over a 20mb upload speed I'd be paying over $240. Even their fiber doesn't get above 20mb up, last I checked, without reaching a pricier package.

If that causes inflation then it is taking money from the existing holders.

In what sense? In a world of fiat currency, post-Bretton Woods, what does money mean? I am not an expert by any means, but to me, it seems like the USD has value (ignore the rest of the world for a moment) because the US issues taxes that it says can only be paid with this wacky tokens called dollars and if you don't pay your taxes, then bad things happen. The rest follows from there. I think that you are saying (correct me if I'm wrong) that printing money leads to inflation which lowers what you can exchange your tokens for (maybe it takes more of them to buy apples). So, the first question is whether that is actually true. We have seen a fair amount of printing of money in recent years, but fairly low inflation. It's not obvious to me at what point that changes. The second question is whether inflation if it does occur is net bad/good and for who. I think we can agree Weimar Republic style hyperinflation is bad. However, let's say that inflation is 1% is that good or bad? For who? I think this question doesn't have meaning on an absolute scale. I think it has meaning relative to growth (and the productive capability of the full economy). Let's say that the economy is growing at say 6%, but we have 1% inflation--I'm fairly happy with that. But, let's say that we have 2% growth and 1% inflation--I'm less happy. Deflation is deadly (which has historically been the fate of gold based currencies), so we could argue that having a bit of inflation is insurance that we pay to avoid disaster. But, what about beyond that? The typical argument is that it helps drive consumption and encourages investment. Do you disagree?
You're absolutely right. That is a significant difference.

My point was that O($10m) isn't even enough to reliably land something on the ballot, much less get whatever crazy thing you want passed.

I was actually wondering how often people do this. Did you do this because of some kind of injury or in pursuit of ergonomics / out of curiosity?

If the latter, how would you say this affected your workflow? In terms of typing speed, overall enjoyment, fatigue, or any other metric of productivity or comfort?
Ye it is really strange. Maybe it is some kinda of rationalization. Or people believe in that new people bring new ideas or something.

My experience is that even the best engineers wont catch up for a year or something, to an mediocre one with years of experience in the project/field, if the project is somewhat complex and not routine. In 17 months it is really hard to do anything magnificent.

> In the meantime, Tether will be worth $1 or so, and "be operational". So even a perfectly accurate crystal ball seeing into the future doesn't help you in the now.

I brought it up in another post here in this thread, but I think the easiest way to know when Tether is genuinely in trouble is to keep an eye on the settlement iFinex reached with the NYAG [0] and if it's unable to fulfill it. Until then, be as sketchy as it may, it's "safe".
