You keep posting this graph with no context, but the euro has also had very high inflation.

This is bad faith and you know it, that’s why you aren’t actually discussing it, just posting a misleading graph.

USD had 141% cumulative inflation since 1990

Euro has 115%

The pound has 143%

Brazil ( a member of brics) has nearly 1000% since 1994 (25 million percent from 1990 like the other countries.

China, arguably the biggest contender for stability in brics has 160% inflation.

Why aren’t you including charts for all of these countries? And why are you using a chart showing inflation values from before USD was used as the international currency in 1944 with the bretton woods conference, without demonstrating why that is important and what it means? Given that this is in the context of global currencies.

Isn’t the first graph just general inflation? What does purchasing comparing purchasing power mean in this scenario? And how does it compare to other currencies like the pound or the euro?

Also the conclusion of the second article you linked seems to indicate that no other large scale currencies are replacing the shares of the US dollar, instead things like gold and diversified currencies are taking up this space, those don’t take the place for international trade.

Neither of these seem like a death knell for USD to me.

Good point and I missed that in the original post.

It does appear to be a similar situation with the UK though, only with pensions and other funds.

It’s important to note that most of the money borrowed by the US govt is in the form of bonds to its own citizens, and the interest paid is to those citizens.

Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.

I’ll take the L… but I’m gonna blame it on sleepyheadedness, lol.

Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.

A resume with no PII, how are they gonna call you for the interview?

And what is the point of encrypting it? If they can’t decrypt it then you just sent them a jumble of bits, and if they can, then what was the point?

Each person doesn’t need to host everything.

The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.

This article talks about how it’s ambiguous though and provides examples of things that are typically not normal clothing such as overalls and bibs not being deductible.

It’s really not as clear cut as ‘uniform’ and it really boils down to a case by case basis except in the most obvious of cases.

But that is them accepting it.

Why federated and not just regular p2p?

Internet archive already supports torrents.

It’s just a road and sidewalk in front of the building where people who are giving rides pull over so their passengers can get out.

It’s 4kb it’s the demo scene.

To expand, the rendered to video output is much more than 4k, but the file that produces the output can be small like that, this is usually done by doing a bunch of math to generate the output dynamically.

You can kind of equate it to how a video game can generate 120 frames of 4k footage every second indefinitely, but the game itself is limited in size.

Recording the output takes up space, but you don’t need to record it if you can generate it in demand.

I think text is going to be the most dense, information wise. With plain text you could fit about 2500 average length books in 1gb, that’s not considering any compression.

Additionally, you could create a novel representation of words to reduce the total amount of text and include a key to expand it back out, replacing common groupings of letters like ‘ch’ with ‘k’ for example

If you could get a 2:1 compression ratio from your modified alphabet and a 4:1 compression ratio from traditional compression algorithms you could get up to 20 thousand books! That’s a book a day for 55 years,

I think music is gonna take up way too much space. Compressed all the way down to 32kbps which is going to be a pretty miserable listening experience (everything will sound underwater) you are only going to get ~75 ish hours of music.

Cut that in half for a more tolerable 64kbps.

It’s a decent amount of music, but not a lifetime’s worth of your only entertainment imo.

Edit: for some context on audio, 320kbps mp3 will only net you 7 hours of music.

As far as I understand, not really, as neural networks are more of a metaphor than an analogue. They don’t have a one to one correspondence to brain neuron behavior.

RICO laws basically destroyed the Mafia in the us.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn’t an emulator or a vm.
