The whole purpose of fiat currency is so the central bank can literally dictate interest rates and "print money" in times of crisis. Pegging currencies to the USD has been tried and usually fails.

His aspirations are much larger than Ukraine.

You can always reason quite well about React if you follow good conventions. It's a tradeoff of complexity and flexibility.

Shortcut:

echo 'auth sufficient pam_tid.so' | sudo tee -a /etc/pam.d/sudo

Ah, it’s satirical.

I don’t understand how the equation has anything to do with stability, nor finance. They also didn’t define the terms. Is this supposed to be a joke?

Can someone explain?

No EU or CANZAUKUS country would import a Russian design in the current environment or foreseeable future, as the Russians will be the ones to have the expertise to maintain it.

If someone submits a text field with the contents `<bold>Injection</bold>` that will then be reflected on the site (i.e. a comment section), React will display the literal string, rather than bolded text.

Unfortunately, it seems like mass protests are the best option at this point. Otherwise, Russia and the world will suffer.

He made up complete lies as a pretext for invasion. He will never negotiate in good faith.

I don’t think imposing a complicated tax structure is very compromising or intimidating towards Russia.

I don't understand the benefit. It's just a query language on top of Postgres? It doesn't seem to have the performance characteristics of a graph database, while acting like it does. JOINS will still be expensive. You guys shouldn't use the word graph, misleading.

Puts on the SP500 is the purest hedge there is.

Great analysis.

The context is for everyday people. Not everyone has the time, patience, or ability to do that.

You can’t really short private companies…

But in a liquidity crisis, everything will get hurt. Banks will be hurting the most.

Buy puts on banks or even SP500 if you want a hedge.

Wow. Something I’ve really had a need for recently. It’s a hard technical problem, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this takes off.

It will definitely have to match or exceed performance based on cost.

Right now, I think there is no truly viable alternative for electricity generation in most low income countries. Not enough money for renewables + battery storage. Not enough money for nuclear or hydro.

We can only hope that more advanced countries can create the battery technology we desperately need for the whole world.

Spot on. Production cuts would actually lead to more countries with unscrupulous leaders ramping up their own production.

We need to focus on consumption. I.e. moving to other sources.

Myanmar? North Korea?

Hard to argue the people enjoy their ruling party.

Ironic that we have to create open source versions of things from “OpenAI”…

Because then you could directly implicate Russia.

Russia Gov is involved, but not publicly.

You attack me for not providing statistics when your crux is “People buying EV cars must mean they’re good”. Yeah, people buying Gamestop must mean it’s good too. Clown.

It’s widely known the environmental impact of EVs. If you want to make a real difference, look elsewhere.

Within the same species, that makes sense. Same architecture, more folds, more neurons.

Does not necessarily mean more intelligent.

The difference is people are complaining about fossil fuels as they use them.

Be the first, and give up all modern medicine, modern technology, plastics, etc. Nothing wrong with innovating out of fossil fuels, but you just seem to be pointing blame.

They never did this. They just enabled you to run your diesel-generator during blackouts in California.

> You don't know the footprint of batteries for electrical cars. It's certainly no worse than what we use to make the rest of a car.

Have you heard of open-pit mines? I would call the ecological damage of that much higher than a comparable oil drilling site.

I have nothing against electric vehicles, or progress away from CO2 emitters. But EVs are a half-backed solution.

And EVs might even be net-negative for climate change. What do you think mining equipment runs on? A shit-ton of diesel. The largest cost of a gold mine is energy - diesel. I just think the mental gymnastics people use to justify the smaller ecological impact EVs is ridiculous. Heck, I even own a Tesla.

You really think them being honest would change anyone’s usage of fossil fuels? Hell, oil companies are transparent about climate change now, and usage is still going up YOY. Only now that we are experiencing greater effects of climate change, everyone is jumping on half-solutions like electric cars - let’s not even get started on the ecological footprint of batteries.

Yeah, let’s only focus on the production problem. There is totally no demand for oil or plastics. I assume you are typing this on a laptop or cellphone that has plastic parts.
