It's not just the time to get the loan. It's also the time to settle disputes. Say that you wanted to lend money to someone who gives a collateral, and they default. How long would it take to go to the courts to make sure you can get what it is owed? On the blockchain, this is instant.
But what about crypto completely revolutionizing transactions, decentralizing the economy and providing a stable universally accessible data exchange medium? What about tracking the food you buy on the blockchain? What about web3? What about muh NFT monkeys?

While true, this does not make it popular or lead to NIMBYs changing their mind. How important this is varies by nation, but it’s not nothing in most places.
Can you elaborate what is so "interesting" about it? Yes I've been working on it for 10+ years (git history only since 2013), as a side project. There's actually one published game on Steam made with it, but its very simple. The one I am building now (linked from you link) is anything but simple.

Android build is part of CI so appears to be working. iOS is not, so may be broken but the code has always supported 6 platforms (win/lin/osx/ios/android/wasm).

As the link says, there aren't a lot of end-products made with it yet. It's mostly my side project, not sure why you are thinking there should be such a page, this is not a corp-backed megaproject making any kind of claims :)

Turns out, making a language popular in these days is hard. You may still find something interesting within though :)
Actually that "modern tech" of yours is the subsidized one. President Obama was basically trumpeting how many new and awesome futuristic jobs those solar parks will create when the government unleashes the cash flood.

Nothing competes with nuclear. It's just pure physics - atom is the biggest source of energy on this planet according to current physics. Whoever can't agree with that reality fact should see a psychiatrist.

Despite all the obstacles, nuclear constantly develops and will continue to do so, because market.

Transportation is the bigger issue.

Ukrainian grain exports used to be tens of millions of tonnes per year. That's something like a million semitrucks or a million railway cars. You can't build that kind of capacity in a few months, especially not in the middle of an all-out war.

As long as Russia can operate submarines in the Black Sea, it can blockade Ukrainian ports. No foreign cargo ship will approach the ports, and no foreign insurer will insure such ships.

Ukraine also depended on Russian energy. If Europe wants to phase out Russian energy imports, it can't supply enough fuel to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine has better uses for the fuel it can get than exporting low-value bulk goods. Like keeping its military operational, which also needs the trucks that could export grain.

Ukraine uses the Soviet 1520 mm rail gauge, while its western neighbors use the 1435 mm gauge. That creates a huge bottleneck for rail transport. Not to mention that Russia has been targeting Ukrainian railway infrastructure.

There are not that many major roads from Ukraine to the west, and some of them are unusable. The border between Moldova and Ukraine is largely controlled by Russian-backed separatists, while Russia has been bombing the bridges on the only road south of Moldova repeatedly.
It is 96 mb per CCD, which will probably impose limitations.

But it still tickles my imagination :)

I have no time to look it up RN, but I read a few years ago about a new hospital President/CEO who literally could not get a cost/price list for the services their hospital provided - obviously a key management data set, yet it did not exist.

Just because you think something SHOULD exist, does not mean that it does.
Totally agree. I think we're probably only a year or so off TTS that can put some proper intonation into a sentence - hopefully then they'll be indistiguishable from live speech.

I've tried to listen to books with today's TTS and it soon becomes really grating (To my ears at least). It only needs the tinyest slip every few sentences and you can't listen any more.

This is from a Canadian perspective. I was in Canada for most of the restrictions, and it really opened my eyes to the dark side of human nature. As soon as it's socially acceptable, people basically line up to hate their fellow humans, and to give unwavering support to "authorities". It's terrifying, but also gives some context to historical events that you wonder how they could have happened.

IANAL, but I suspect it's deceptive if the changes were deliberately hidden and there is no notification of them.

For example - if someone agreed a contract, changes are made, and they were pressured to sign without reading the document.

If changes are flagged and/or highlighted it would stand a reasonable chance of being valid. Likewise if the patient sent a cover email/letter saying "This is my standard contract."

Because these exchanges are bureaucratic, it's quite likely the changes wouldn't be noted - or might possibly be automated.

It could be argued that's a failure of diligence by the hospital rather than fraud.

And it's also clearly unconscionable to expect patients to sign a literal blank check with an open amount without anything resembling a credible estimate. That's simply unenforceable.

All of this underlines why single-payer is the only viable system. Without it a few people get extremely rich with huge financial and social costs to everyone else - which is not freedom, it's forced tribute and subsidy.
That's what makes it your problem. They can just say 'no' until you sign the document agreeing to pay whatever they bill you later.

The only thing I say is there is a huge difference between people who lost relatives to COVID and people that got lucky with either no deaths or mild cases. The virus seems random and it shows in the ability to comprehend the consequences of ones own actions. This fluff piece is a slap in the face of over 1 million dead Americans and their relatives. There were always mandated vaccines in a virulent crisis like COVID only this time it got political weaponized.

IMO, every single exchange is at least partially responsible for misleading users. Binance.US and OKCoin specifically marketed UST as a stablecoin that you could earn 20%. Marketing it as a stablecoin is a very clear signal that it has less risk.

Yes, users should inform themselves, but exchanges (as well as companies like Stablegains) need to be held accountable.
I have got this on gitlab.com every morning when I log in for at least a year. (We are a paying customer.) I use Firefox with Coookie Auto Delete.

I know that the internet is full of idiots and criminals. If they protect their service it's my benefit. It costs me maybe 2-3 seconds every morning, but then there will be 1000s of requests during the workday. If each of them were 0.1 seconds slower because their servers deal with nonsense my user experience would be much worse.

(I have no idea whether keeping cookies or using a different browser would avoid the visible challenge. I just don't care.)

Edit: I would really hate it if I had to do free Google captcha labor. Or fill the AWS one which always takes me 3 attempts to get it right.
There’s no public evidence that they were defending the peg. Statements from these charlatans aren’t evidence and shouldn’t be believed without clear evidence of transactions. And I don’t there is any evidence of the transactions using the missing $3B.
Glitch as in that dorky MMO game that resulted in Slack as a spin-off?
I'm not OP, their point is that in any other consumer-facing industry you can't just give someone an estimate, provide zero other guidance on pricing, get them to sign a contract that says they have to pay you whatever you want (and if they don't sign, they don't get potentially lifesaving care), and then after delivery of the good/service you then charge an entirely different amount which is 200x higher because 'oops yeah our bad we got the estimate wrong by a factor of 200 but you have to pay that now, tough luck'.

In reality, consumers in the USA seem to have more protection buying a can of beans than they do in paying for cancer care - but this doesn't have to be the case!

As opposed to rushing my lawyer in his tuxedo to settle a $8 double payment on the whopper I just bought at local Burger King?

You underestimate the convenience payment processors afford you in everyday life. Approximately 5-8% of my credit has some issue (wrong amounts, double pay, late charges on split payment, chargebacks etc). I don't suppose the percentage will be significantly lesser for any average bloke who makes all transactions on card.

I can tell you right now that there is absolutely no safe yield in crypto currently that goes beyond 4% on a “safe” stablecoin like USDC. For truly safe (as in, huge value locked, never been hacked), the yield is more like 1.5-2%

All the high yield is in algoponzis or new protocols that carry massive protocol risk

I don't think people are okay with it. It seems very likely that our politicians are bought and paid for and that's why there's no one truly representing the public's interest.
The 'JP' in JPL? (One wonders.) Another member of the Caltech 'suicide squad', Frank Malina [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Malina], was another of the Aerojet founders scrutinized for politics by the FBI.

Unlike Parsons, though, he made it into the 'International Space Hall of Fame' in Alamagordo.

Did you read my comment? Where did I support the hospital?
I think you would benefit from reading TFA. It looks at the actual operating costs of current designs and the dropping price of renewables and points out that the fundamental economics of the nuclear industry are not great right now. It also points out that most of the high-priced daytime usage is about to be scooped up by renewables. This may or may not be fatal to the nuclear industry, but it points to the need for substantial innovation or subsidies.
I agree with most of your sentiments but would argue it’s better to focus on only “one thing at a time” than exclusively “only one thing”.
But that’s personal preference and I certainly admire individuals who are able to “focus only on one thing”.

>Question though, do the founders here have any potential criminal liability from this whole situation (including apparently lying about what they were doing with their customers funds)?

While they're not exactly forthcoming with the risks, their marketing pages[1] were also careful to not make any explicit claims of safety (eg. "your principal is protected", or "you won't lose money"). The most that they claimed were "stable" returns. For good measure there's also a disclaimer mentioning the risks.

it does get mentioned, and you can have nuclear power without producing plutonium.
Further little notes from their documentation that, lets just say, "downplay the risk":

- "You will not lose your funds because all loans are 100% asset-backed." (https://stablegains.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402680425...)

- "Regardless if crypto markets are soaring or crashing, the value of assets under our management remains stable." (https://stablegains.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402687671...)

It's kind of shocking really that these statements are still up give how many of their other docs have been editted in the last 10 days.

Small modular reactors don’t actually solve any significant issues for the nuclear industry. Construction costs are dwarfed by operating costs and the idea that N small reactors with N times as many parts will somehow require less maintenance is wishful thinking.

They very well could be slightly cheaper over the first 15 years, but nuclear reactors are designed for ~50 year lifespans and are really expensive to decommission.

Look at say Palo Verde it’s close to 4GW with a 82.80% lifetime capacity factor, but needs 2,055 full-time employees and that’s the best case.
> And people keep trying to argue the US has a great healthcare system.

I’ve never heard anyone argue this. The common argument is that it really sucks and that proposed changes suck as well. So the argument isn’t “don’t change because it’s great.” The argument is “It’s terrible and I’m worried that if you change it, it will get worse.”
That's a rather meaningless assertion without stating how high you'd need to stack it.
