It really is the same story, as we would expect it to be. The citizens were replaced by slaves. The middle class was eviscerated. There was no one left to buy the products of slavery. No one left to fill the military ranks. Slaves, petty lords, and starving Romans obviously makes for social instability.
In the modern west, every job that could be outsourced to actual slaves has been done. Some jobs cannot be outsourced, like mining say, so now they're shipping the slaves here. Birth rates are set to plummet because most of the citizens can't even afford to live.
It's like hunting all the Buffalo to extinction until there's nothing left to eat. That's what the owning class is doing. There's no way to stop it because it's a Darwinian system. The owners who are willing to ultimately cannibalize their own economy will win.
If your primary military targets are innocent people then you should expect them to receive aid.
Choose your dependencies wisely. 99.9999% of these projects will be archived one day anyways. Best you can find is a 5 year guarantee or something.
Software is always changing. Everyone has the same problem.
It's not learn-as-you-go like computers. A mistake doesn't give compiler errors. It might just kill you now, or get red hot later under certain conditions you haven't tested.
If you can't see that this gongshow is obviously dangerous then you are a fool.
I haven't gotten into the discrete math in many years. If you're right do you mind explaining please? I can intuit what you're getting at. 0 odds * inf < (odds with one ticket). Is that a decent description?
Whats the solution? Is the future self hosted? Making it accessible for non-technical people?
1. Bigger than I thought 2. Dumber than I thought 3. Too small to really be proud of
Any kind of underwater communication is strictly regulated. Someone told a story in a HN comment a few days ago about someone seeking a patent for something to do with underwater coms. The patent was denied, the DoD got involved saying this tech is classified, stop using it immediately. Any ropeless fishing the gov would be involved.
And besides, the anchor is on a chain anyways, why not the traps? What's the difference? We're not using wireless anchors
Anyone who has worked on secure consensus has had the same thought. You can't derive time from pure math. You must observe some state change.
It's a useful concept, but strictly speaking it's not true. If this universe was completely devoid of matter, time would still pass. "If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
I'd like to try the software if it'd available please. But I'm not sure where it is or if it's out yet. Is it the Obsidian template you linked here, or is it a separate software called Your Commonbase? Because the Obsidian vault has a different name.
I have to say that the irony is hilarious that I can't find this information in the (well written) sea of information you posted. But then of course I'm not using your solution yet!
This is the most interesting post in a long time, bravo!
