> I see no particular reason why profit of a company must be shared with its workers

I am a devout capitalist and I largely agree with your argument, but the Marxist argument isn't rooted in the desire for every man's labour to be as valuable as its demand. It's rooted in the belief that every man's labour should be treated as equally valuable. This is a moral argument, not an argument about real value or evidence thereof.
well met, nothing you just wrote addresses what OP asked.

>You don’t need to control an individual.

People who lived in Warsaw pact countries where you could only buy meat with a "ticket" would disagree with this. There is a very real desire in the ruling class to be this invasive.

The pound is already digital. Printed or minted currency is a small minority of the entire money supply, regardless if how you count the money supply. Most of the base currency is a digital record at the central bank.
I thought we already did this?

I regularly send money from my banking app to my partners and its instantaneous.
A few questions that I anticipate:

--- Shouldn't you find a replacement maintainer?

That's ideal (and compatible with this proposal), but it shouldn't be a requirement for stepping down.

--- Couldn't you just update the README when a project's inactive?

It would be good housekeeping to periodically do this for stale projects, but that's quite pro-active. Plus, it only tells users when it's too late - it doesn't give them any sense of how soon that might happen.

(Also, the latest commit or "last publish" for packages might be misinterpreted as an active contribution.)

--- How could anybody build on a project that has a finite lifetime?

We're already living with that uncertainty, it's just invisible.

And as I said in the README: "If you need stronger guarantees, you may need to produce/negotiate them yourself". If an open-source dependency is essential to your project, then it's not unreasonable to have a support agreement in place, or have a plan for who'll do buxfixes if the maintainer steps back.
Bit weird comparison. Like sure CephFS doesn't support S3-like access... because the object store is a separate service that also runs on top of Ceph/RADOS store
Nope, but if Google and Mozilla are putting this many resources into it, they might know more than we do, and I could imagine this coming with iOS 17 in September.
the question for me:
is how would this translate to banks growing the money supply ? if now retail consumers are plugged into the central bank ?

Awesome. What are your thoughts on web assembly?
I've never got such a screen on a feature update. Perhaps it's because I've got local accounts?
Sounds like work. This is just printing. I can always print at the FedEx down the street.
Worst-case scenario, in the dystopia we seem to be heading towards, employers or governments could control what the employees/peasants are permitted to spend their money on. I could imagine something like:

"At least 50% must be spent in your local district of your '15 minute city'. Purchases of alcohol, meat, and fossil fuels are prohibited. Unspent currency expires after 30 days and cannot be rolled over to the next month."

"Only senior management and above get paid in 'unrestricted' currency."
Most UK "person-to-person" bank transfers use the Faster Payments Service (FPS), which is usually more or less instantaneous.

I don’t see why this wouldn’t be performant:

void transactionBoundary() {
var list = someLongListOfElems;
var resultList = List.of(); // a sum type for success and error conditions
for (var l : list) {
try {
resultList.add(process(l));
} catch (SpecificException e) {
// add to resulList or errorList or whatever to further process those instances.
// You can just use SpecificException’s fields
…
}
}
}

They're a semi-private tracker, registration is open, but you have to actually read the rules, go on IRC and answer a few rules-related questions. It takes a few hours, but it's definitely worth the effort IMO. The amount of content they have is pretty staggering, and I don't think I found a single unseeded torrent so far.

They also offer ebooks, but Anna's Archive and Libgen have a bigger selection of those.
On diversity, just a minor thing I observed: Me (African country) and a colleague of mine (some Asian country) got our visas - for a short stay Schengen visa - denied despite being co-organizers and volunteers for one of the dev rooms. The commentary here is that it's difficult (and expensive) for minorities (non-US and non-European peoples) to get into Brussels, moreso with the refugee crisis. It sucks. I'm not entitled to getting a visa, but it would be nice if, like some folks, I could plan myself and just show up. But it is what it is.

I don't think Mozilla & Google both start working on iOS browser engines just to show what's possible. They might be speculatively developing these, but I think it's definitely based on an expectation that they have a really good chance of shipping these browser engines.
No comment so far has touched on the big issue. This is a direct competition to the big turtle the retail world is sitting on: Visa and Mastercard. They're taking a cut out of everything that happens, not doing a whole lot of innovation, and have exactly the high degree of control people are fearing in a totalitarian CBDC. They'll very likely dislike this and will probably lobby against it (well, as much as what entities with their net worth can be said to "lobby").
You guys are going at it like cats and dogs.
From the other side of the argument, would you see a future in the next decades where cash is still relevant and significant amount of money can change ownership completely anonymously?

This might still be true for some countries, but most of us are already in a world where paper money is a “just in case” artifact and the gov could trace every single monetary transaction in the last 10 years.

The real fight isn’t on clinging to legacy systems, but to get safeguards baked in the new systems and have governments that care a minimum about their citizens.

I mean, you’ll never win again your gov. going full berserk, or at what price.
Maybe. To be fair, I had the same opinion yesterday. This morning I decided to take a real look at how I could use chatgpt to augment my programming, and once I started with it with an open mind, I now think it's going to take away much of the drudgery I have come to loathe so much about programming. I used to like delving into libraries and frameworks and learning all their details - I thought that was what 'learning about programming' was. Now, 20 years later, I hate those aspects with a passion - having to look up the idiosyncrasies of a function call again, because there are dozens of ways of using it but all slightly different, or piecing together another dull specific use case. This morning I had chatgpt generate 4 fully fledged functions for me, each doing a highly specific task that would have taken maybe 20 or 30 minutes each to piece together the specific API's, and one of them using a Python package I had never used before, didn't know of and would have had to read the getting started tutorial before I could have used it on my own. Then all I had to do was write the glue to call those functions in the right order and with the right arguments and boom that was it. Plus the code was more elaborate and coherent than it would have been had I have to do it manually.

One example is not a guarantee, but the experience made my day, and probably my week. Which is why the pop_back() thing made me worry :)
mmh, what do you mean?
> Sure, and you exclusively own your skills, so they meet this definition.

You can never exclusively own skills. If somebody else achieves some skill or knowledge that I have, I cannot use the force of the government to stop him from having those. A capitalist can and will use the force of the government to stop others from using the things he has laid claim to: Land, natural resources, equipment. A capitalist can create capital out of thin air by making money, and use the force of the government to stop others from making money.

That's the difference that matters.

> Try doing that as an unskilled worker and see how far you get.

Right now I think it is mainly unskilled workers who are changing sectors, as they are the ones who can benefit most from it. If your job cannot get worse, there is no reason not to change. As for skilled workers, they have already climbed a few steps on the ladder.
Since CBDCs came about as a direct response to the rise of Bitcoin, I wonder if cryptocurrencies’ most lasting contribution might (paradoxically) be the acceleration towards full government surveillance and control over the populace’s financial transactions.
The edge-specific integration seems to include a chatbot you can pull up on any page for content summaries / asking questions, I imagine this is the feature in question (although I'd imagine it would work perfectly fine as an extension, with no changes needed)
This is the pendulum swinging back after cost-of-living increases due to inflation. Expect lots of other companies to quietly do raises. I'm already seeing that recruiter spam in my inbox is quoting 30-40%(!) more for senior roles than they were 4 years ago.
As someone that has worked in the office and now from home I wouldn't consider making "friends" at the office to be a substitute for making friends outside of work.

Check some of the event type apps such as meetup, they usually have quite a few fun things on there with cool people to meet doing all sorts of hobbies.

Then again, it is true that tech can be quite lonely and solitary work, so as you mentioned a career shift may be in order.
There's a little dichotomy here. If you try to control the population as a whole "head-on" you'd get decent backlash, especially in countries where such moves have been rejected.[Anecdotally i can speak only for EE] However if you try to convince the masses at an individual level, (i.e a bottom-> top approach) you can have more success, assuming you do this in a paced manner and not rush the tyranny (because that would be obvious). Nowadays the latter approach 'works' because most people have low attention span and such grifts go mostly unnoticed, or at least enforced with pretexts like security, protect the kids, etc.

The gov. vs the individual is an uneven fight. The same cannot be said about the gov. vs the people.
No it's not. Different types of money is common terminology. Also, no idea how "Economics has never really come to grips with the banking system" - there's enough research and understanding on this.
On one hand: I am sick of banks and pseudo banks (Paypal, Stripe etc.) fucking about the digital payments space.

On the other hand: I am 100% sure that the UK govt will reimplement these hurdles and add their own.
Hi,
It's that the animation and bumping is executed already when the stone does a short way - on a larger board it looks like this:

Is there a way to use it without Bing being your new tab page? I tried edge once and that’s what kept me from sticking around.

It lets you change your default search provider, but even after doing that, the new tab page is still a big customized Bing landing page with a huge Bing search box.

It can, but it tends to be a premium feature of specific DNS providers, not a global/by-default feature of DNS as efitz seems to be alluding to.

DNSimple supports it for example, but only on their "Professional" plan (and they call it "Regional Records") while others like Gandi don't support it at all.

Izabella Kaminska (ex FT-journalist) had a good take on this on her podcast or website [1, 2] (I forget which).

If this is for _all_ unbanked individuals, then it must also include people banks don't want anything to do with right now, like criminals and other people who don't currently pass KYC or AML checks.

Most companies are not in the business of building UIs for rule engines, A/B-testing, user segmentation, etc. The value of giving non-engineers the power to roll out features without code changes is worth quite a lot.

(Where I work we recently went from a home-rolled feature flag system similar to what you described to using LaunchDarkly)
It is hard for me to disagree, because I understand that use case. The issue, however, appears to be that there is no 'version' that allows for it for users that accept the risks involved.

It is not completely unlikely the conversation with cops. In their perfect world, everyone would sit quietly at home with hands on the table. Life is more messy than that though for obvious reasons. In other words, I understand the need to have some level of control, but some balance is necessary.
Oh yeah, economics. Such a well researched field, so much consensus.
I might misinterpret the parent, but I think the parents idea is more that it helps when deriving the math used in a lot of video game programming. (e.g. simplifying expressions in shader code, or deriving closed forms for intersection tests).

Where this might help is if you don't have a strong background in algrabra, and don't know all the properties of e.g. quaternions by heart. You'd implement essentially the answer that you get after playing with a computer algebra system

It seems likely that participation in a cbdc will likely require a kyc verification or equivalent real identity to participate as this is how the current system works.

Restrictions would primarily be associated with this account, as well as transactions associated with the graph of related accounts, and associated transactions.

Check out a paper called Money and Payments: The U.S. Dollar in an Age of Digital Transformation from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It was released specifically to educate and open a public discussion on these topics and more, and is worth a read.

And of course there are risks, including enabling new levels of surveillance capitalism. It’s important to keep up and participate in the public processes and give feedback as these cbdcs emerge.

Owning an ink jet printer is never a one time payment. If you are drowning in subscriptions, printing should be the least of your worries.
AAA games increased pretty much across the board to 70€£$ last year (adopted by most publishers, you can Google it since there's a lot of different articles for each publisher). But the reality is that they've been increasing in price for two decades now. People like to forget all the special editions that include all the removed content from the base game (some are so bad, you need a spreadsheet to know what is in what version of the game), all the DLC, microtransactions, expansion packs, season pass, lootbox, pre-order bonuses, subscriptions... (the list of monetization goes on). The reality is that games stopped being 60 a long time ago, the 60$€£ is what you pay for the base game.

And lets not even get into the fact that we're glorified beta tester these days, and require an online connection to get the constant patches to make games playable.
Visit Switzerland some time it’ll blow your mind.

Basically every square inch of that country is connected to convenient and frequent public transit. And it’s one of the most naturally inhospitable places for building anything you can imagine, we’re talking towns on the side of cliffs and so on.

But if you’re in a tiny village at minimum there’s a bus that connects to rail, frequently, and that rail is frequent and highly reliable and goes literally everywhere.

It’s possible and we have the resources to do it too we just don’t.
Many good subreddits. r/FIRE and if you're in the UK: r/UKPersonalFinance and r/FIREUK. There is likely similar for US and other countries but I'm less familiar with those.
Lmao that's not an equivalent argument at all.

One is you _forcing_ me to do something (come into the office). The other is me not forcing you to do anything. The company is the one making you stay at home.

Sure, we all go back to work in an office. Hurray! Is the company going to force everyone there to be best buddies with you as well? What if nobody in the office likes you? Is it now company policy to be friends with everyone?
The banking system IS well researched. STEM fields also have lack of consensus on different topics.

Most of the CDN providers predate all those things. Most are custom implementations with varying degrees of documentation and features.

> How is the cached data distributed between POP's?

I've seen two implementations and both do roughly the same thing. A request comes in and if it's not in cache it checks a regional POP preconfigured for that region like it was filling from origin. If it's not there the regional server gets it from origin. That fills the cache for both the regional one and the local. One implementation the regional POP was just config. Meaning the regional POP was just a standard POP that also served the requests from other POPs. In another it was something different only serving regional requests.

> think that having the ability to change things means that they absolutely MUST go through all the settings menus and change things.

That sure does sound like a straw man argument to me. Are you sure you've really heard "pls don't make me change all the things, I don't like changing things" instead of the much more plausible "pls don't make me use a system where someone had to implement (and has to support) functionality that I personally don't need, and as a (possibly) developer myself I understand that this adds complexity to the system and places burden on BOTH the user and the developer"?
I think this is a side effect. To use digital currency I assume you’ll need some kind of account, as it will probably rely on some stable identifier. Baking identification in a device (a card for instance) could be an alternative, but past some amount it would probably be impractical and I’d see banks limiting the amount that can move outside of them.
