maybe this would lead to smart missiles or a platform to launch them that can loiter near the battlefield, directed by a pilot or controller nearby

What is rocket gambling!?

A lot of people are missing the fact that loans are not taxed in the US.

Loans aren't subject to taxation in the US.

Inflation rate means the rate of issuance of new coin. Its price is related to whatever free market forces decide the price of anything scarce such as gold, silver, fiat currency, etc.

BTC is fully accountable while it's issuance is not in the hands of any certain group. Therefore it has a permanently predictable rate of inflation that is much lower than fiat currencies at the moment.

Nobody has to trust anyone, that's the whole point of bitcoin.

Also look at art prices. The money was going to certain places without ending up in the hands of the every day people.

I wonder if it's just a matter of creative accounting? Whole sectors of the economy such as travel, dining out, entertainment disappeared for a period.

There are already initiatives to pay taxes directly in Bitcoin. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/why-ohios-state-treasur...

This isn't some fringe idea it is being developed by governments around the US. I remember reading about some city in America that will take Bitcoin directly for tax but I can't find the article.

They should vertically integrate while they can. Produce exportable goods and materials with the oil.

Maybe it would make sense to have multiple independent sections of backbone at the BGP level. Instead of having one public AS/backbone, break it down into regions at least so that it is more confederated.

We live and die by the finite state machine, hallowed be the Protocol.

It seems that the existing HIPAA laws are being circumvented due to COVID-19. I wonder will these laws even be applicable in the future now there has been exception to them.

US federal agencies actually investigate market activity around big events like 9/11. Very likely to be caught doing that unless you have some way of shuffling money in and out of the market anonymously.

I was in a tiny surfing town in Costa Rica and they had gig fiber. You reach it via 3 hour car ride through the jungle and rivers on a single lane dirt road. Better internet than I have in the US.

Specifically where I run into it a lot is installing python modules that expect glibc to build something from source. The workaround is to either install the python module from the alpine package manager (apk) or to add in glibc to alpine.

Interesting. Thanks!

Is this compatible with SCP?

Ok maybe I am narrow-minded but Alpine has so many hidden gotchas such as not using muslc instead of glibc. This specifically causes most stuff not to compile from source properly. Depending on how you use your daily machine you might end up redoing everything inside Alpine and would be better served with something like Fedora or Debian.

A huge step forward. I think we have to watch out for these technologies being misapplied to profile people and generate false positives.

What would be a modern analogy of this I wonder?

Yeah this whole thing is playing out really strange.

Super weird. I guess it became not profitable after a time period.

I am very liberal in my politics and there should definitely be a way to moderate people's opinions on platforms.

I am pretty sure in most places they can't touch you even if you do steal something.

I think nanobots could accomplish this. The end result might be unexpected though...

"The CEO of EBay has people following me!" it sounds so ridiculous that I would immediately think the person telling me that has paranoid delusions but it was true.

Racing teams and big car manufacturers have incredibly accurate models of vehicle dynamics.

I gave up trying to explain and started answering questions with the same thing back. What will having a CICD system accomplish? We will get a complete CICD pipeline.

send out packets with fake source IP. the fake source IP is your attack target. servers / services respond with a larger packet back to the attack target. Its called DDoS amplification. you can prevent this on networks you own by implementing Unicast RPF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-path_forwarding#Unicas...
