How do you advise overcoming a stomach flu? Symptoms similar to food poisoning.

I'm getting a lactic burn from walking the dog. Feeling very weak and shitting buckets of water. I went to the gym for some RPE 5 stuff.

Sort of a weird thought about V4V..

In the US, you can donate your sats for free. The issue that comes up is if you're using them to buy goods/services in return.

Where do zaps/boosts come in here? I'm zapping people because they've provided me value, but that thing they provided was already free. Does it still count as a donation? 🤔

yeah encoding/json is my most unfavourite, and the struct tags and the whole problem around json is a big hassle, that's partly why so much of my efforts this last 6 months have been involving json

you can't actually use my library with standard JSON interfaces either, because that syntax assumes you don't care about generating memory garbage and the use of stupid strings

what do you hate about the syntax?

be specific

the function signatures? the package management system? the variable declaration syntax? the modules files?

i strongly suspect it's not the curly brackets but i haven't observed what your preference is, i guess if you are a python/php dev then ok, but that model has some serious deficiencies too

mozilla's still enabling DRM bullshit, and they have been caught out hundreds of times not actually respecting privacy, still not seeing why i should hate google *more* than mozilla (formerly netscape)

i'm in this industry for decades, they all suck, and mainly because tech is a branch of military intelligence, and open source is militia intelligence

netscape is evil, cisco is evil, microsoft is evil, samsung is evil, xiaomi is evil, apple is evil, ibm is evil

not giving much differentiation here, why does google get extra special treatment? android phones? what makes you selectively abhor one tentacle over another?

Go is open source. Google could fuck off tomorrow and nothing would be affected.

yeah, but also fuck every government registered corporation, this is not a criteria for specific distrust

all of them are suspicious

Bitcoin bro and his GF after the bull run

You could probably say the same of a lot of human doctors.

When the FED prints money where does it go?

When the Federal Reserve (the FED) "prints money," it typically refers to the process of increasing the money supply, which can be done through various mechanisms, such as open market operations, quantitative easing, or lowering interest rates. Here’s a simplified overview of where that money goes:

1. Bank Reserves:

When the FED buys government securities (like Treasury bonds) from banks, it credits the banks' reserve accounts at the FED. This increases the amount of money that banks have available to lend.

2. Lending to Banks:

With more reserves, banks can lend more money to businesses and consumers. This can stimulate economic activity by making it easier for people to borrow for things like homes, cars, and business investments.

3. Financial Markets:

The money can also flow into financial markets, affecting asset prices. For example, when the FED buys securities, it can drive up their prices and lower yields, encouraging investors to seek higher returns in other assets, such as stocks or corporate bonds.

4. Consumer Spending:

As banks lend more, consumers and businesses may increase their spending, which can lead to economic growth. This is often the goal of increasing the money supply.

5. Inflation:

If too much money is printed relative to the goods and services available in the economy, it can lead to inflation, where prices rise.

6. Government Spending:

in some cases, the FED's actions can indirectly support government spending, especially if the government issues debt that the FED purchases.

Overall, the money created by the FED can circulate through the economy in various ways, influencing lending, spending, investment, and overall economic activity.

Ok, I get it. I should have been a banker to get free money.
