I was actually hoping to avoid starting a debate here and hoping to find a broadly scoped long form discussion written by a journalist. Please do not take my opinion as a personal affront to your career, and I sympathise with the difficulti

Is there a mature discussion on the history of 'consolization' anywhere online, first examples I am aware of are 2003: Deus-ex Invisible War and 2004: Thief - Deadly Shadows, where the PC port is deliberately gimped due to being d

Now we're talking, you've correctly surmised what I was digging for. Thanks for sharing your article, I'll have a read through it. Here's some pseudoscience, you may also find the parent comment that it is in reply to in

Very interesting. Without going into too much personal detail if you'd rather not, what form did the issues take? Was your physical or mental wellbeing negatively affected until you cut them out? On whose advice did you do this? Or, wa

Have you any allergies? Are there other foods that cause you problems?

I don't think there is enough demand for anybody to make a replacement motherboard for the shell, maybe some person will undertake a solo project to do it for a lot of money. Apparently you can fit an x230 board in there but the x230 d

The chip is soldered in, and the heat dissipation from the i7 2640m in the x220 model is woeful, 30-40 degrees at idle and then 90-96 under load typically. The fan will sit at 4500-5000rpm to get the temperature back below 50 degrees, depen

It goes beyond self hosting and IP blocks, because even if you use a large email provider other than Google or Microsoft, Google will quite happily block you too. So far as I can surmise: I got a ban from Google, that lasted a month because

I got a version of Tomb Raider to run on the S3 decelerator also, not sure if it was the first, the sequel or both. Eventually a Creative 3D Blaster Banshee saved the day. Intel's Iris Xe DG1 desktop card was not very performant either

Agree that my example was bad at least. The phrase 'present-day x' is also used to denote the setting in a script, novel, or magazine piece completely independent of this historical usage. The context does not arrive until the end

So are you in favour of both abolishing physical cash and negative interest rates? (larger than now, how big a negative interest rate are you in favour of? Nevermind: I see from your other comment, 5%, immediate bank run territory.) You rea

Do you also believe negative interest rates, larger than people are facing now in spite of a wave of inflation, are almost all upside for everyone?

by eliasmacpherson 5y ago
It's not the implementation that is my concern, it is that a digital currency makes it even easier for banks to impose negative rates than cash. I doubt that you really think central banks, retail banks and the imf have no intention to
