I wonder when this gets so bad that the only thing you can trust (apart from face to face interaction) is a digital signature. BTW, last I have heard, Microsoft is building a digital identity based off bitcoin blockchain. They may become in

Maybe if someone grew up at least bilingual they have different concepts built into their “brains” as children. I can only attest that learning Spanish or English as a foreign language in school doesn’t change your own perception of time. S

So when you purchase Libra for cash it’s like buying an index, only with no interest whatsoever. So all the risk and no reward. It’s not for no reason that index funds pay dividends - to compensate for a very real risk of losses. Interestin

«with a fifth of the population struggling to get by» - isn’t this just per definition of poverty: the lower quintile? That is in any place lower quintile is poor. Regardless of their absolute living standards.

Can anyone help with what looks like SAT scalability problem? Is there a modern SAT solver that can do it? I was trying out Google SAT and it seems not to be able to scale to a simple school scheduling problem. Here’s the post with the code

I’ve heard They call it three tiered shopping here in Germany - 70% in Aldi, the rest in an upper level discounter (sic) and the delicious or rare stuff at a specialist store or a marketplace.

You have a choice between public and private insurance. And you can very well be publicly insured should you desire so (for a cost). It’s just that if you don’t have an employer you pay full medical insurance premium (not half). But should

I was also wondering how a Nobel prize and Krugman fit in one sentence every time I read his column in NYT. Now recently even the Swedish Academy had revealed corruption and petty politics between its members. Just have to learn to ruthles

I think in the long run there’s none. Look at devaluations in various countries. Or cut of paper money circulation in India. Or the $8Trln “printed” by the US to balance out Chinese foreign reserves (also $8Trln at the time by coincidence)

It’s a big question to what extent the wars are/aren’t an extension of economics. My understanding it’s a direct relationship. ISIS got their money from selling oil or from sponsors selling oil for dollars or printing dollars. Police i
