So this is a public transport ticket for urban areas. It's a good idea to make them valid across regions. If they can make it work, that is. There is still the task to distribute revenue in some adequate way, and currently politicians

Interesting to learn who’s the single source of truth about propaganda classification. This uneducated „rater“ on minimal wage, training a search engine is probably maximally dependent on the job. What could go wrong?

The problem is probably related to the alerting system being automatic. The rate of fraud is likely much higher than we all can imagine, I once read a number about credit cards, which was incredible. And if you know the constraints of class

I have the hope that recent revelations about censorship, and the problems with the covid vaccines on all levels have alerted people that their rights and interests are under attack globally. Good to see one of the few directly democratic c

For many of the features that Cloudflare provides you need an autonomous system (AS) in order to be able to run border gateway protocol (BGP). That gives control over the routing, so that traffic is met by regional servers and infrastructur

Are you saying that it's unlikely that the government might abuse it's power? Look at history.

That sounds completely unacceptable. With CBDC we would be in an even worse situation, that's my point.

That’s kind of distorted. Government has the monopoly on violence, true, but only to the extent as the law grants it. A prime focus of constitutional law is to set strict limits to and legal recourse against acts of government.

All money (except for coins) is created in loans, which have a maturity date, at which "money is programmed to return to the bank", else you're forfeited. The monetary aggregate is ever-rotating, else all stops. It used to be

Because you can push a single button and a person is in the cold. There will be no disruption for anyone else, just your one neighbor with the dangerous views can't pay rent and buy food anymore. I can't think of anything more dys

Visa and Mastercard are issued through a multitude of providers. OBDC will have central control. It is beyond me how anyone can argue for that, after seeing again and again how governments fails in almost everything repeatedly. At least hav

Currency is just bills and coins. You know, we did some weird stuff with M1 in 2020, but if you must see it, here you go: https://data.oecd.org/money/narrow-money-m1.htm

One more question: apparently LLMs model the human language as well as the knowledge encoded in it? Aren't those separate concerns? Maybe those can't be separated and that's the reason?

There was always a lot of desperation in second- and later born sons in the landed classes, everywhere. Because usually you wouldn’t inherit the the property, so you could as well gamble your life recklessly, and maybe get lucky. The fertil

I like pwgen: pwgen 32 1 This creates one password of 32 characters of reasonable classes. There are options to adjust character classes if the site enforces something like that.

I don’t think that degree is granted anywhere anymore. I believe around 2005 most german universities switched to granting masters and bachelors, usually „of Science“ for technical subjects. The title is in english, also in german language

Many people will get some satisfaction out of it, if they only receive points or badges. Look at Stackoverflow or GH stars.

This depends on so many variable that I don't believe there's one perfect commmit. E.g. it depends in the lifecycle stage of the project. Is it just you figuring something out, or are hundreds of thousands of people depending on y

In my view, the most important book is missing from that list: De Soto, Hernando. The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else. Basic Books, 2000. It shows by experiment and historical analysis, that

I also find it odd to think differing names of places in a foreign language as butchering. I like how München (Munich) is called Monaco in Italian. But if we do think it's butchering, why don't we refer to Germans as Deutsche in E

It needs to be all Javascript, because Javascript in itself is already at least 5 languages, with ES6, browser runtimes, Node, ESM and CJS, and TypeScript, some CoffeeScript remenants, and the list doesn't end. There is no end to compl
