It would also require a global consensus on tax incentives. Which... well if you thought the global minimum corporate tax was unlikely...

With utf8only you have to specify a way to convert non utf8 to utf8, I think the problem is a bug in the normD converter.

I really cant. I have no idea how it works or why.

Oh and one warning regarding UTF-8 everywhere, use it but perhaps dont force it on a filesystem level. I have a file in a zfs filesystem with utf-8 and normD which everytime I try to delete it remains, and if I copy/move it in the file

UTF-8 mandated everywhere is how I work atm, and I am happy the old latin... etc died off. But I think its fundamentally the wrong way to go in a sense. UTF-8 is too huge for starters, and does a great deal which it probably should not as i

Is the C++ && constructor downside temporary?

Ah ... it seemed like such a beautiful dream for a moment. But yeah, no way to fix this without breaking/deprecating abi /api in C,C++. Which really isn't surprising, char and uchar should always have been byte, char should n

As yourself how long it took you to do the most similar thing you completed in the past and how long that took. Then without at all accounting for you being more skilled or learned now, use that as a value. It sure beats the everliving shit

Another curious thing to note is that the legal requirements on transaction delays are mostly regarding wealth control, scams and ensuring its difficult to launder money. Strictly speaking, if bitcoin was treated as a currency, or even a pu

Bitcoin, like tesla stock is better predicted by treating it as a religion than a rational investment. So how long are people going to believe a kid who said a god knocked her up to avoid getting stoned?

SSRI have severe sideffects, but mostly of the kind that doctors strangely seem to think of as harmless, such as the well known and quite common loss of sexual interest, which kills quite a few relationships. Even worse there is growing evi

I disregarded that 99% of the earth is melted i.e. not in yet in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. Mostly because it does not matter. This is showing how large the greenhouse effect really is, about 74 degrees. That is how much hea

Banks are bad because they charge to much, but they aren't that bad. What kind of unbelievably shitty bank doesn't provide 24-7 money transfers through a convenient phone app? Those transfers always take 0 time within the bank and

So a basic computation of the total greenhouse effect using a blackbody assumption and an albedo of 0.7, that of stone and water, shows that the atmosphere i.e. the greenhouse effect lifts the temperature of the earth from -70C to 4C. Detai

Nah, reading the ipcc reports and predictions, the worst case is a bunch of poor people in poor countries will suffer, and a refugee crisis on the scale of 100-300M will happen, which in turn will trigger wars and diseases that actually kil

We dont, but we act like we do - Most doctors will try SSRI first despite most knowing they only work for about a third and most doctors will refuse to treat depression using non SSRI antidepressant medication.

Qt is far better and extremely much faster and generic, once you have spent the long time required actually learn Qt and c++ properly. If you are new, then electron + some shitty html + js you'll get something that mostly mostly works

Is it hard though? Or is the hard part ethics i.e. personhood, and because the terms are conflated that makes consciousness hard, since it means you cannot accept what consciousness is without needing to also define ethics. Drop the idea th
