   yep. I had EGA and played most of these games on it - I remember seeing the same games on my friends VGA screens and they were sooooo much better on those. Looking at them now, the EGA ones have a certain amount of nostalgia, but I vividly

   I think pension funds are the bag holders here. They require 6% yield or so to function, and real yields are still negative or near zero. Yet their investment mandates often dictate they need to have bonds or a mix of equities and bonds.

   what I meant to say is with macro lenses the FOV is narrow because of the high magnification, and with VR you typically want (very) wide angle lenses. 180 stereo VR is usually shot with two cameras (in portrait) with fisheye lenses, I'

   Thanks! Good question - the FOV with macro lenses would not be anywhere near 180°, though I'm sure you could distort the video to wrap around you. Stereo macro seems to be a thing with stills, at least - https://www.flickr.c

   I tried the same a few years ago with the original Blackmagic Pocket (for video, no focus stacking). You can get pretty good microscope lenses cheaply on eBay and the rms-m42 adapter is cheap. https://youtu.be/JwIDTtu8XnA A

   Why mess up a great brand? TransferWise rolls off the tongue just fine and does what it says. This is like Facebook rebranding to Book. Hubris.

    Do we still need payment processors (or perhaps even retail banks?) once we have central bank digital currencies?

    This is a really clearly written overview of DeFi, well worth reading over morning coffee no matter if you are new to the space or a veteran. Shameless plug: I work on the design of one of the protocols mentioned in the paper - https:&#x2F

    Absolutely, the result of de-dollarisation of world trade will be a shift in the world’s power dynamics. I think it’s pretty inevitable by now. I hope we have learned enough about history to be able to have economic competition/conflic

    As long as much of the world’s trade is settled in US dollars, there is a demand for them, and some demand for US treasuries. The merry-go-round of the Fed increasing the money supply and buying US government debt with the newly created mon

    Bought one for my kid, been testing it out and it’s so good that I’m tempted to buy one myself - much better than any of the recent mbpro’s I’ve had. Super responsive while staying cool on the lap, completely silent and all day battery life

    Thanks, very insightful! Had been thinking about trying out a clay pot for slow cooking biriyani. Sounds like a fair bit of hassle though to clean it. Maybe a Kamado grill would work well, super well insulated and can cook long at low temp.

    For pots it doesn’t really make much difference, but cooking on a stainless steel frying pan is very different, especially when cooking eggs, fish etc. You need to heat the pan first, add a bit of oil and onion to the hot pan and spread tha

    I’m playing it on PC (3900x and 1080ti) and it’s really detailed and beautiful. The plot is a bit confusing and the NPC stuff pretty rigid. This game would be amazing as an online multiplayer game, and possibly with VR support for full imme
