SWIFT is just a on paper private entity, there’s a reason they are located in Belgium where also the NATO headquarters are: SWIFT is a pillar of the US empire and its client states.

There was a pretty nice portrait in the California Sunday magazine of a billionaire (Resnick) couple who owns a lot of land and water and are producing different kinds of citrus fruits and nuts in the south of California: https:/&#x2F

They don’t really own the lyrics in any case. In traditional publishing you would have to pay the original artist to reproduce the lyrics, as you have to do for poems and other lyrical works.

That's a total stretch, lens is not used in GHC for example and lots of other smaller compilers written in Haskell. It is used in Ermine but that is stuck in a semi complete state for a while now and Ekmett has moved on.

Even then the paint / toner would be a mix of a small number of base pigments in most cases.

I think he means that there will be a few components that will be able to develop that IP for you. That is certainly the case for PLLs and other analog bits of digital designs.

They are calling it decentralised but it really isn't. Transactions with physical cash are fully decentralised, anonymous (save for finger prints etc.) and asynchronous. In terms of convenience credit cards, apple pay and PayPal are ha

I guess you’ve never interacted with a large fraction of people that are typically committing violent crimes. A lot of them are these brutish unhinged characters, with low IQ. They are mentally defective, you can either lock them away for t

Well you are clearly not in the target audience. Are you using any of the software they are mentioning in their announcement presentation? This thing is meant for people that don’t pay for their Computer out of their own pocket. We have way

The operating system is only a tiny fraction of commercial code out there most of which is either written in (more) memory safe languages like Java, C# or C++. SAPs code base alone is 1 billion lines of mostly C++ and their own proprietary

This is amusing because politicians still try to emulate the US in many respects as do a lot of companies.

Yeah a couple of related problems in fact: You are a professor and working on cold quantum gases, synthetic quantum systems, ... and can semi-plausibly claim that this has applications to quantum computing: Problem solved, you will get a wh

Graphics is much more subtle than just vector instructions as can be seen from the failures of Larrabee.

The articles reasoning is flawed: It does not recognize that the rise of the new far right is in answer to neoliberalism and globalism. The problems they are describing are caused by this old neo liberal anti-nationalist but still right win

One thing I find kind of strange about this development is that the code for doing these kind of optimizations has been around for a long time and been in serious use in industry ("Neural" PDEs (i.e. applying adjoint sensitivity a

Morse theory is basically the toy case of a very general way of thinking about Lagrangians / Energy landscapes in physics. You can think of the Morse function as a kind of classical Hamiltonian, paths of steepest descent (gradient desc

This is basically the premise of Brave New World, you are really not supposed to turn down people (within your own caste) for sex there. This is helped by the fact that everyone is approximately equally attractive through selective breeding

This is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whether the services are like you describe is largely a function of government competence, attention to detail, culture etc. Compare the Greek Internal Revenue Service to the German one. One did not manag

Pretty simple, if you visit a psychiatrist/psychotherapist you have to pay them somehow. One way of doing so is by using your medical insurance. So you hand over your medical insurance card, and now they know you’ve visited a psychothe

Yeah because if you struggle for survival in the Savanna people with low executive function are highly valued. If anything the modern world gives plenty of opportunity for disorganized slightly autistic people.

Except this goes in your permanent record and increases insurance fees from then on. At least that is how it works in Germany. The only way to avoid this is to pay in cash. It‘s probably also a good idea to not bring your phone, so that the
