I'd imagine a bigger loss for MasterCard was the EU capping their interchange fees to 0.3% with a regulation in 2015.
"At present, credit card interchange fees in the UK are typically around 0.85% per transaction" (https://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/jul/27/cap-on-card-fe...). After Brexit MasterCard will increase it to 1.5% (https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/jan/25/mastercard-to-...) Loosing out on 0.55% fee on every transaction is significant at MasterCard's scale.

You can see how much the Fed has been propping up the economy in the M1 money stock chart [0].

They've been injecting so much cash... that's a lot of fucking money. I think when they slow down, the market will crash. Money needs to be in circulation, and this is the only way they can get it to circulate (although, tbh, if it were in the pockets of the people, it'll probably circulate better).

You can also check the velocity of money in the M2 velocity chart [1], which shows the ratio of transactions to the M2 supply. The M2 supply is the M1 supply plus some other forms of money. What the M2 velocity chart shows is that people are holding on to their money in some form and not transacting with it as much as they have before (i.e. a slow down in the velocity of money). Like, it's getting close 1!!!!

So all that cash that the Fed's been injecting hasn't been able to speed up the M2 velocity back to pre-COVID times let alone pre '08 recession times.

The velocity chart doesn't look too good IMO.

GM reveals more technical details of its Ultium battery packs
Not OP but I'm in the same boat. I signed up for insider (dev) builds to get X support in WSL2, then set it to switch me back to insider (beta) builds on the next opportunity. But they didn't do another beta or any other insider built really before rolling out Win11 to dev so that's what I got on the next update. There also wasn't any notice this would happen despite my machine apparently not meeting the requirements for Windows 11.

I'm not complaining but it was definitely unexpected for me despite being in the insiders program. Especially given that Windows 11 is being promoted as the "next version of Windows", not just another Windows 10 release.

FWIW my volume slider is still a slider. I have no idea what's going on in that screenshot but either they're A/B testing, this is a weird language-specific UI variant or there's a bug.
The U.S. went off the Gold standard in 1973 and had different fed policy back then, is my understanding. I highly doubt "it was too late to prevent it" back then or that there are lessons to be learned from that incident or the fiction novel you quoted that apply today.

In the future, with the lessons of history behind us, how can the Bitcoin community avoid another stablecoin debacle that we are seeing unfold in front of us in real time (namely Tether, and the faux liquidity it has been injection into the valuation of BTC).
Let me give you my experience: people begged me to get into bitcoin when it was a couple of $. It just didn't sound interesting to me so I ignored it. Did I miss out? Yes, but MAYBE a few hundred $. I would have sold at 50 and I would have absolutely sold at 100$, get a nice phone and that's that. In no scenario would I have bought at 5 and hold on to it until it was 40k.

Not to mention that the entire argument is based on a get rich quick scheme which is exactly what the doubters argue crypto coins are, and the entire post which I replied to originally can be summed up to 50Cent "You just jealous cause I'm rich".
To my mind, that is the best option on the table.

But it's tricky, because (a) it's mutually exclusive with trade limitations (one only gets cultural product in front of another nation if trade is maintained) and (b) the CCP is well aware of culture as a weapon and uniquely sensitive to its use and prepared to defend against it.

The rule[0] says that you can process the data abroad, including storing it on disk temporarily for purposes of processing, as long as it is deleted within 24 hours. So it's not quite as strict as requiring it be kept in memory the whole time without ever writing to disk, but it does sound like you probably couldn't keep detailed logs.

(I worked on the same team as bkrausz, elsewhere on this thread, albeit not concurrently).

Yes, this is pretty much the right thing to do. It can be a bit more work for the API consumer, partly because they need to track state of their last-read ID, and there's more moving parts.

If you're building a webhhook+events system like Stripe's, you might consider adding an option for a mostly-empty webhook body, which can speed things up in this use-case, but still allows "the easy way" of just processing the event from within the webhook body.

(For readers thinking of implementing this, note that "query for new data" means hitting a dedicated /events api, not individual tables, which might have unpleasant load/performance consequences).
I would not be surprised if this was common. I simply don't have enough faith in society today to believe that most people would understand how wrong this is.
> So in general the EU freedom of movement is "freedom of movement of workers", not just anyone.

Exactly. For Americans (and other) readers there are four freedoms in the single EU market: free movement of goods, capital, services, and workers, known collectively as the "four freedoms".

People and workers may/are often used interchangeably but in laws it is about worker's freedom to move between borders, not people.

I think it's an interesting difference with the united states which is older than the EU but younger than Europe. It also highlights that in law, in modern Europe, capital goods, services and workers have rights to cross borders while the US American citizens are free to cross state borders.

Strangely those laws are all about workers and the market but nevertheless and contrary to the US most EU countries still have a much better social security net (for people) than "neoliberalcapitalisticmoneyhungryonly" US which has freedom at its core.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Single_Market#People

> Since its foundation, the Treaties sought to enable people to pursue their life goals in any country through free movement.[122] Reflecting the economic nature of the project, the European Community originally focused upon free movement of workers: as a "factor of production".[123] However, from the 1970s, this focus shifted towards developing a more "social" Europe.[124] Free movement was increasingly based on "citizenship", so that people had rights to empower them to become economically and socially active, rather than economic activity being a precondition for rights. This means the basic "worker" rights in TFEU article 45 function as a specific expression of the general rights of citizens in TFEU articles 18 to 21. According to the Court of Justice, a "worker" is anybody who is economically active, which includes everyone in an employment relationship, "under the direction of another person" for "remuneration".[125] A job, however, need not be paid in money for someone to be protected as a worker. For example, in Steymann v Staatssecretaris van Justitie, a German man claimed the right to residence in the Netherlands, while he volunteered plumbing and household duties in the Bhagwan community, which provided for everyone's material needs irrespective of their contributions.[126] The Court of Justice held that Mr Steymann was entitled to stay, so long as there was at least an "indirect quid pro quo" for the work he did. Having "worker" status means protection against all forms of discrimination by governments, and employers, in access to employment, tax, and social security rights. By contrast a citizen, who is "any person having the nationality of a Member State" (TFEU article 20(1)), has rights to seek work, vote in local and European elections, but more restricted rights to claim social security.[127] In practice, free movement has become politically contentious as nationalist political parties appear to have utilised concerns about immigrants taking jobs and benefits.
The physical hosting while not trivial is not a big challenge. They need to find a reliable hosting provider in India and there are many.

Where it gets really hairy is routing. Example - handling payments of Indian international travellers; or card details entered on websites that are hosted outside of India.

I worked on a similar project but 1/10th of scale and even then it was extremely tricky to cover all the edge cases.
Well, I think a lot of indigenous groups in America and Africa did in fact have cultures that granted very little power to the State. But those groups were mostly not agricultural, and so they had low population density and very limited military defenses, and were largely overwhelmed by the military force of absolutist monarchies and then republics during the colonial era. (There were also agricultural indigenous cultures overwhelmed by colonization in both America and Africa, but those cultures also had high degrees of social stratification and state power, at least in the examples I'm familiar with.)

I'm not clear on how similar the genocide in Xinjiang is to the process of colonization I'm more familiar with; it clearly has some elements in common, like the Indian Schools, forced relocations, and the mass destruction of religious artifacts and languages, and (in the US) the obligatory United Line of Defense/Pledge of Allegiance. The Stasi-like culture of informers and the hierarchical neighborhood committee structure, however, seems like a significant difference. And the levels of brutality are still, fortunately, comparatively low, compared to those historical atrocities—though still intolerably high in absolute terms.

The historical background is quite different; there have been mosques throughout China since at least the Song and probably the Tang, and many of the greatest Chinese in history have been Muslims (郑和 is perhaps the most famous), and the Uighur settlement of much of what is now Xinjiang dates to the late 18th century, after the Qing committed genocide against the Dzungar Mongols.

This article provides a very useful anatomy of the forms state oppression can take in today's world. Studying it will probably serve anyone well, because these same practices are likely in the future of many peoples, at the hands of many different governments—at least those that prove effective at establishing social control. Tahir Hamut Izgil's present is many, many people's future.

How can we prevent the heavily-stratified societies that generate such profound oppression from overpowering people and territory in this way? Having a culture that doesn't generate that kind of stratification is surely necessary, but it wasn't enough for the Lakota, the San, or the Bayaka.

As someone who also tries to form a balanced view of crypto, the detractors are right about one thing: Bitcoin uses an awful lot of energy. It’s also pretty fundamental to Bitcoin, to the point that I think it is at odds with the world’s goals to decarbonize electricity generation.

The fact that Ethereum is tackling the energy use problem head on with proof of stake and and doing so within the next year makes it incredibly appealing.

The infancy period of this technology is fascinating.

Think about computer graphics 15 years ago. Beowulf came out in 2007, and was developed in the preceding years- let's call it 15+ years old. And it was right there in the uncanny valley where it didn't look real, but it looks realistic. It was interesting visually, but my brain told me "this isn't correct".

And now some modern game engines are doing more realistic rendering than that in real-time.

Now look at these generative models. Some state of the art ones with humans helping are pretty convincing, but it's slow work. The more general ones like these are making these wonderfully interesting images that our brains immediately say "That's not correct".

But where will this technology be in another 15 years? I think the possibilities for entertainment are really interesting. Imagine a D&D game where the GM is vocally telling the AI what to generate, then making small tweaks, and the players are seeing the results.

> In your other comment, you wrote in a kinda magic-wishful-thinking way "you can only get pregnant if you really want kids".

I am not saying "You can only get pregnant if you want to get pregnant"

I am saying "A couple in a committed relationship can fairly easily and reliably avoid having kids without the use of contraceptives if they don't want them."
Yep and it's stupid. That directly causes inflation. This is why people are jumping to cryptocurrencies and don't trust fiat currencies anymore. Luckily our amazing government has now decided we should tax crypto since they screwed up their own currency so badly.

I guess they really get a lot of pressure there.

Putting Python in Excel can potentially lift more analysts to proper developers or at least make the code base more robust. A lot of analysts' first language is VBA and then they move on to more serious development and land on a developer job.

I'm one of those examples. My first language was VBA and I dig a bit deeper into it (e.g. reading about moving pointers and general coding best practice, downloading rubberduck extension for VBA, etc.) and taught myself C++ and Python. Eventually I landed a BI developer job.
It's interesting to me that the bond market is so complacent about this. They view inflation as a slain dragon. Inflation stays low because people in the past expected the fed to react aggressively to the slightest sign of inflation. Bond investors refuse to demand higher yields (i.e. by not buying treasuries) because they expect inflation is temporary.

Here's the thing. Does anyone think that today's fed stands ready to plunge the economy into a deep recession like the 1980's to kill inflation if it gets out of control? Anyone? I have no such faith.
These are thin films and the material cost is going to be relatively low. From the paper:

At the previous company I worked for, we had a meeting secretary and a hard agenda that was decided before each meeting (a Google doc). Everyone added items to the agenda, an estimated time, and made sure the total was less than 45 min.

The secretary made sure to keep the discussion on-topic and that we stuck to the times. If an item needed more discussion, we'd either have a breakout meeting or add it to the agenda of the next meeting (in the front of the queue).

This made meetings almost enjoyable, and is still the best meeting experience I've ever had.
