FYI if you are suspicious that your opponent is cheating, it's easy to verify if dice are loaded or not: drop them in a glass of water a couple of times. If every time the same side ends upwards they are loaded.

Why would anyone want to use VSC for Kotlin? After all the Kotlin creators are also the ones after JetBrains IntelliJ, it's hard to imagine some other IDE could suit Kotlin better?

The reason that a byte array is in reality layed out as a (mostly empty) long array in Java, is actually for performance. Computers tend to have their memory aligned at 8 byte intervals and accessing such an address is faster than accessing

Well as long as they carefully avoid phrases like climate change or energy transition, they might be able to avoid the wrath of the Trump administration.

There's some point in that, although certainly not all US movie companies are self censoring in favor of China. Also, if the goal is to prevent chasing Chinese opinions, why not specifically target China? Or are countries like Canada o

Well these were the words from the horse's mouth: “This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat,” Trump said in the Truth Social post. “It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and prop

Was the USA's movie industry really under threat from abroad? In my local cinema here in Europe the great majority of popular movies is American .. To me this move seems more a kind of cultural censorship. Similar to how many foreign m

Yeah I was wondering too. The big advantage of UTM, apart from that it's free, is IMO that it can run natively on Apple ARM cpu's.

The answer is: rhetoric. It's a fake argument to justify US tariffs. It won't work for people like you and me, but Trump fans will love it.

Who would have thought that Trump would bring in a policy that would benefit the environment? Also, who would have guessed that right wing governments would start buying Tesla's? Quite a plot twist ..

> The Republicans are not going to cut the debt Well, they are also massively cutting state worker jobs. Plus the tariffs will bring in tax money as well. I'm not sure what the net effect will be of these together with the tax cuts.

Existing bondholders can't demand anything of course. But the bond price is determined by buyers and sellers. With dropping USD, buyers will pay a lower price for the bonds, i.e. the yield will go up.

by misja111 2y ago
The flaw is that the USD is massively dropping because of the tarifs. This will push up interest rates on US bonds, because bond holders want compensation for the value loss of their bond.

Yes, that's what America First was supposed to mean. Bad news for the victims in Myanmar, probably good news for China because it can expand its influence.
