Looking at these rates they are all over they place, but I at least understand now that this probably isn’t a ponzi scheme. I see that the borrowing rate is always higher then the savings rate, and therefor the money people are making adds up.

That said GP’s claim was that these yields are “much better "passive" interest than bank deposits or treasuries” however that doesn’t seem to be the case for all but few of the currencies. I get better interest rates at my credit union. For those currencies that are actually yielding higher interest (USDT being one of them) are also being borrowed with higher interest then loans at my credit union. So I think GP’s claim is simply wrong. Yields are only higher if you offer your money in a lending scheme with abnormally high interest.

As for who takes these loans. I don’t see that though. You need up to 2× the loan amount as collateral in an asset that is already as liquid as the cryptocurrency you are getting. Normal people would just use the money they already have and pay 0% interest, not put it up as collateral so they can borrow half that amount. I don’t even see how this could even be used as a tax evasion scheme because the collateral is equally liquid to your lending amount and should be under the same tax clause. The only use case I can see are speculators. And the only way to make these higher yields, is if a speculator makes a financial blunder, which is not sustainable either.
I think the title has a typo.

I hope some day I'll be able to make Pipewire work on Debian without messing everything else in the process: tried to install and set up it a few times and always failed ending up with no audio.
Now I have an almost perfect situation with very low latency (4 ms or less) using Reaper with Alsa alone, no Jack involved. Also, by using Yabridge I solved all compatibility problems with Windows plugins, even those which wouldn't run anymore on modern Windows versions. If you ever had problems with LinVST, Yabridge will likely eliminate them all. My only problem now is the inability to play along a track I'm listening to with Qmmp or other player (that is, outside of Reaper) as it takes entire control of the audio. I would have to use either Pulseaudio with much much higher latency or Jack with all its configuration issues.
What a silly idea for a study. Of course sounds closer are going to be louder.

And the Duvalier regime is entirely on the Haitian people? The history of Haiti in the 20th century is impossible to separate from the major world power next door. The US has been nearly constantly involved in controlling Haitian politics, including literal invasions, and absolutely not for the benefit of the Haitian people, but to ensure that no other powers grew in the Caribbean region that could threaten its power.
I remember reading a decade or more ago that high-density home gardening was a popular hobby in Russia, with a lot of competition to produce maximum output from minimal land area. But even with all that enthusiasm, home gardeners couldn't produce for less total cost than industrial farm output sold in supermarkets.
Wild strawberries - no.
Straight from the farm, both sold from a stand or pick-your-own - yes.
Also whatever premium strawberries that sometimes show up at Whole Foods or the local premium/gourmet markets.

The Japanese and Korean berries are much better. I wouldn't buy them at whim without any thought. They're definitely a treat to indulge in.

Edit: One thing to bear in mind - the main characteristics of these Asian berries is sweetness. They're incredibly sweet, with a hint of tartness. I have not encountered this level of sweet in any North American berry, though I have once in the UK. The Korean berries are also slightly less sweet and slightly more tart than the Japanese ones.

If your preferred strawberry taste note is tart/sour, not sweet, then you might not like them. My wife's cousin prefers her berries tart, so she prefers the cheap berries you can find at any grocery over these Asian ones.

A childhood memory from when I was little:

We were at Sears, and my parents were waiting for customer service-- they were buying an appliance or something. There were terminals around, open to public use. I recognized them as 3290's from my dad's work.

They had an application where you could do form work-- building up an order or searching for stock on items-- that used this protect mode. You'd fill in fields and then hit a pfkey, and wait several seconds for a result.

I can't find anything about this system having ever existed online-- one of those blackholes of missing information about pre-web days. There's an interesting web site of how point-of-sale evolved at Sears and other places-- https://vintagepointofsale.com/author/jpnearl/ but that's not really what I'm talking about.

I remember other instances of this from when I was little, too. Lots of IBMs internal applications used this whole forms interface and the lower right status HOLDING while you filled out fields. And I recall travel agents using it with SABRE, too.

My memory is that it wasn't uncommon-- that a whole lot of mainframe usage looked like this: https://basis.uark.edu/frequently_asked_questions/email_noti...

That has different answers for different people. I've had this conversation several times:

- Them: "You work hard? Try working as a mechanic/builder".

- Would you like to change with me?

- Nah, I couldn't keep sitting 8h doing mundane office work day after day.

I'm a programmer, but I also helped build a building so I know what is hard physical work. It typically gives more satisfaction than programming, but programming pays better.
On this topic I'm leaning towards that this is ok for them to do, although I think it is unnecessary and a reason I would rather buy a competitors procust, that doesn't have this requirement.

Your space argument is extremely misleading. Space industry in general is dependent on government orders, this is not a unique problem of SpaceX / Musk. How long do you think that Boeing or Morton Thiokol space facilities would survive if the US space program were shuttered?

Presumably to minimize e-waste, as it's more likely people will hang onto their old phones (or hand them down or resell them) if they can revitalize them with a cheap battery/display swap.

Anecdotally, Bluetooth audio is now better for me than on my Windows (same hardware) and Mac devices. From poor quality to higher latency, Pipewire's made quality at least as good, and latency the best of the three OSes.
That wasn’t the point of parent comment. It was that you could have this all without making trade offs.

Tennis (and other interactive sports, like boxing) have a form of built-in randomness similar to rock paper scissors. Obviously not to the same level of randomness, but you both execute an action at the same time not knowing what the other person is going to do (although if your reflexes and awareness are higher, you're playing that RPS game faster than the other player).

An example that makes this element really obvious is turn-based fighting video game Toribash.

Ukraine has been successful in slowing Russia down, but that’s about it.

Best case scenario now is Russia and Ukraine settle with Ukraine losing a bunch of territory.

Russia gets time to regroup, and if unsatisfied, invades again in another 3-5 years.

Remember, this didn’t start this year, it’s been going on for almost a decade.

Russia can win by simply keeping Ukraine unstable and ungovernable and slowly taking more and more territory. And keeping NATO at bay.

The other issue (at least in the US) is that automatic cars can be programmed to “game” the fuel economy tests by having shorter gears and shifting early, etc. The automatic winds up being faster and reporting better fuel economy, but the manual would perform the same if it had more similar gearing. (I heard recently that first gear is like 60% shorter in the automatic version of one of the BMW M series cars than the manual version.) Combined with engine auto stopping in automatics, etc., and it’s not really an equivalent comparison anymore.
It has been rushed just like the reported decision
Even if the kids are just using the highest-attack moves and switching pokemon, that's still a deep game. That's the basics of "Pivoting" and "damage sponging".

Many pokemon have self-recovery moves (slack off, recover, etc. etc.). Even when I was 10, I knew that if my sponge took a hit, and recovered the damage faster than my opponent could deal damage, I'd force them to switch.

Set-up sweepers, hazards, status effects and ability combos get complicated for sure. Taunt vs Substitute, Prankster vs Dark, there's too much to memorize here. But kids don't need to reach that level to still have the importance of bluffing, reading, and predicting.
I appreciate what you and the article posting are getting at, but this is competitive, would it be better to teach your kids cooperation (teamwork) strategies first and competitive ones like chess/poker next.

Not just because it's pro-social and non-rivalrous, there's arguments for this in game theory itself, in the iterated prisoner's dilemma it's often the strategies that start by cooperating and then fall back on competition that come out ahead when competiting in even good/bad actor competitions.

It's interesting that the original article even says this "Playing games and sports throughout life teach us all sorts of lessons about teamwork, strategy, pressure, practice, emotional control… I could go on."

I don't see any teamwork in chess, I guess there might be in poker (temporarily) but I assume there's only one winner at the end?

Our current culture seems to place most of the emphasis on competition, e.g. Education is all about getting better grades than everyone else and then we put people in workplaces and wonder why it ends up toxic?

Obviously you could argue that people being cooperative first would just lead to them getting exploited more but given we already have vast differentials in wealth, I'd certainly be interested in trying it out or what research on this shows?
It's just crazy that the NYT wrote a lengthy article about France's relationship with Haiti after the war, but left out the genocide of the French population of Haiti. That is the sort of thing that causes bad blood between nations for decades, if not centuries. Maybe France would have given up on enforcing the debt sooner if it hadn't been for that historical context? The NYT doesn't even explore the possibility.

>That's a frame, that Chomsky knowingly pushes forward, and it sweeps a number of significant issues under the rug (trusting the Russians, freedom, future deportations, threats to other countries, all of which are addressed in the open letter).

This isn't really fair to the context in which he's saying a negotiated settlement is the best option. Its more like he's saying its the least bad option.

Russia has not been doing well, but they are not on the verge of defeat and if they fully committed to it they could probably continue fighting for a year or more. The entire time they would continue their scorched earth policy that has already done so much damage that it will likely take decades to recover from.

Chomsky seems to believe that because Russia was considered a formidable opponent on the world stage before this conflict and many assumed they would win in a few days, that Putin is going to come to the conclusion that his only option for remaining in power is to keep fighting and escalating. Chomsky thinks that this will lead to the destruction of Ukraine without intervention from powerful allies.

He also thinks that the intervention of a nuclear power would significantly increase the chance of a nuclear war. He thinks that if a nuclear war happens that it is very possible for it to spiral out of control into a global nuclear annihilation.

So a more honest assessment of his promotion of a "negotiated settlement" is that he simply thinks that its preferable to the near total destruction of either just Ukraine or the entire world.

Note that I'm not saying his three imagined possibilities are infallible, just pointing out that he isn't ignoring all of the things that make a negotiated settlement a bad option.
I never said they are incompetent.

These trade offs are far sampler than what they want people to believe. Apple has the budget and the talent to do it. They don't because they don't want to.

I was replying to the whole 8GB is enough for typical development. Java is an extremely popular language to develop in and the IDEs alone eat up 2-4GB on their own.

By default a Java app will set its max heap size to 25% of RAM (Java 11 and above). While it may not use all of that, it’s likely to. So, by default, running two Java apps on Java 11 on 8GB of RAM has the likely potential of eating 4GB RAM. Then there’s the OS needs, browser needs, etc.

Clearly 8GB isn’t enough for such a developer. I’ve had this discussion countless times with people over the past two decades. It always ends the same — with people from both sides of the discussion shaking their heads.

The only claim that I feel anyone can make, given enough experience, is that RAM needs vary. So making a claim that N amount of RAM is enough for many or most will always be patently wrong in my view.
>the other two types always go away after good sleep

In other words, it seems the other two types of tinnitus are sensitive to the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

When you sleep, the ROS are suppressed by glutathione. Then, you feel fresh and rested when you wake up.

When you go through your day, the amount of ROS slowly but steadily increases until you sleep and allow glutathione to do its job again. The cycle repeats.

Given that your tinnitus seems to depend on ROS, I would suggest to experiment with NAC 600 mg and see whether it improves the symptoms. NAC is a glutathione precursor and causes the immediate suppression of ROS.

If there is a correlation then the condition can be treated and improved.

Agree. The Right Shift key looks extra wide on this particular laptop, so that design would've left a decent width for the Right Shift key.

Then again, instead of all the extra wide keys and one extra column of keys to the right of the Enter key, why not two extra columns? Then we can:

1. avoid eating into the space of the Right Shift key

2. have Home/End/PageUp/PageDown in the same layout as in a full size keyboard

3. have Insert in there as oppose to being up on the function key row

4. have the power button in the top right corner instead of the awkward position it is in here, somewhere in the middle

Like I said, nobody gives keyboards one ounce of thought ever.

I don't think it's about copying Apple as much as an industry-wide neglect of keyboard design. Most people don't give the keyboard a lot of weight when making buying decisions, and consequently manufacturers give keyboard designs very little thought.
