To a finite amount, as part of the program itself. If I write a JS program that loops infinitely, pushing a number to an array, that will consume infinite memory by the standards of the JS spec. There’s no hard, upfront bound on memory. If

Yes, but things we actually care and prove to be Turing complete are not. There’s no up front memory limitation in the lambda calculus or Javascript or Prolog.

Turing completeness is a mathematical concept, why try and extend it to physical devices? Ever computer I can think of corresponds to a finite state machine.

That’s definitely not Turing complete. Not because of the crank, but the fact the exact number of memory cells is hard coded. I can run an n-cell Rule 110 simulation on a DFA, which is obviously not Turing complete.

I think they’re appealing to the idea that by eating food before paying, you are indebted to the restaurant, and the very definition of legal tender is that it is valid for all debts.

What? The losses of 2008 were recovered from a few years later.

Non-fungible physical items have existed forever, the whole point of NFTs is (attempting) to do this digitally. The Mona Lisa is not fungible.

LIBOR is not a rate, it’s a series of rates across different currencies. Rates are numbers though so I’m not sure what distinction you are trying to draw.

You can drink alcohol after work with colleagues though. It’s far more helpful socially than party drugs due to its ubiquity.

An arbitrary object? What else would arbitrary JSON parse into? Then you can access its properties, like with any JS object.

Well 180 is every currency, so you’ll have every single currency but only 1 pair for each currency except a select few with more? 50 of those currencies are fixed exchange rate so there’s not much point in an API. To be completely blunt it

Having 200+ pairs is not the same as 200+ currencies, so that’s quite misleading. You can have 200 pairs with 21 currencies.

If you’re suggesting the current identifier is already latinised, it’s not, it’s translated.

Forever hopefully. Inflation is good and indicative of a healthy economy.

The question is whether more is lost to transaction fees. They seem to answer that perfectly, no? There’s no way of donating money electronically without some fee.

So have plenty of people?

All you need is a few activist hedge funds to do the policing. You can’t blanket say that shareholders lack resources.

They don’t. They clearly cover both cases.

That is not even remotely what Goedel did. He showed some inherent limitations to all mathematical formalisation, not that they were useless.

Seriously? Lisp of all languages? Also esoteric is already applied to languages like Brainfuck which are designed to be as abstruse as possible.

Higher education in England is definitely not free. I imagine most well-funded startup employees have good healthcare plans in the US too.

But the current environment is about as far from blood in the streets as is possible. ATHs for practically everything.

Sorry, but the comment you’re replying to definitely does explain what it is. It obviously requires some domain knowledge but that’s fair to assume.

John von Neumann could multiply eight digit numbers mentally and hold conversation in multiple languages by the age of six. How could that be attributed to anything but raw intelligence? Had his parents somehow stumbled upon the perfect for

Obviously some people will complain to the BBC, but I really don’t think that will be much of a thing. It will be an undeniably monumental event.

Payment for order flow will be banned, to the detriment of retail investors.

Low interest rates + nothing for higher earners to spend their money on supposedly leads to a crypto crash?

The bigger factor in the size of the swap market dwarfing the size of the economy is due to the former being reported in terms of notional. I will happily enter into an interest rate swap with you on SOFR^-14 and a notional of USD 1 trillio
