It totally depends on your use case, and what you actually need in reality. In general, once you need/want anything past what NTP can deliver for you, you really, really need to understand your use case and then design your time servic

The point being you need a source of truth for PTP to figure out what the current date and time are. You won't be pushing PTP over the public internet, that's ridiculous. You can use a GPS/sat sync or atomic clock or NTP, doe

How is funnelling money to their buddies any different than the entire rest of the world? This is how the entire world works, that you think it should somehow be different in charitable causes is the funny part. In your personal dealings, i

OK, You are correct, they can buy goods and services from corporations, but this will ONLY apply to Foundations, as DAF's are different. Plus, it's not like these foundations can get away with over-paying for goods and services.

Please understand the law, once it's in a Foundation or DAF, you can't then send the money to corporations, only to charitable purposes. For a Foundation, it's more limited than that, as you have to spend the money to fulfil

Yes, the money can sit in a DAF almost forever, but the original donation or any proceeds from the DAF can not be used for anything BUT charitable purposes. The money WILL eventually end up put to work for a charitable purpose. A DAF *IS*

Once the money is in the foundation or DAF, you can't get it back out again to use for personal gain, and you really can't use it to pay yourself. If you make a foundation, you can pay people to run it, and they can be friends of

I agree with everything you said. Most problem domains probably have no need for more than what NTP can deliver. Regardless, if NTP alone can't solve your time problems, then you need to really understand what your actual problem is,

If you need more accuracy than NTP by itself can give you, then you have specialized needs and you need to understand those needs very well, as no general solution is likely to work for you. that said, there is a protocol for it, PTP: http

If you care this much about inflation, you should calculate your own personal inflation rate(PIR). It will be different than CPI, because what you buy and what CPI tracks won't be the same. Regardless, your own personal inflation rat

No such list that I'm aware of and the US govt would be at the top of the list ;) Because of inflation and FDIC protection limits, most people don't carry around excess cash. It costs money to hold cash. Fidelity will let you hold

What happens if you need to split that $100 from payer_id 1 into 2 payer_id 2's? I.e. that $100 is actually: $99 from 1 to 2 and $1(let's say in taxes) to payer_id 3. The easy answer is, make it 2 transaction, $99 to 2 and $1 to 3

In my experience on iOS, you can't make Passkeys work without also turning on syncing, that's sort of the entire point of Passkeys, otherwise they would just be WebAuthN tokens.

Not because of this one thing, every bank offers some return on holding cash. Most are ridiculously low. Personally I like to think of it as, the US govt guarantees a return on overnight cash based on the Federal funds rate. Banks and o

I haven't dug into everything you are doing, but the biggest flaw I see seems to be that you assume Cash returns 0% nominal, i.e. that there is no return for holding cash. That is only true if you hide it under your mattress(and no de

I agree that there is lots of data that shows your version has some merit, but that doesn't mean it's 100% correct. I know of at least one instance where your version was incorrect(2008/2009). Again, I'm not arguing my v

This is a very simplistic viewpoint. One could also argue that Inflation happens when people don't trust that their government will pay back all the money borrowed. The US govt has been on a spending spree as of late, but hasn't y

No, the big difference is write speed. SQLite is limited in the amount of writes it can do at the same time(typically 1). This is generally called "concurrent writes". Last I checked SQLite can't really get past 1 write at t
