It's full reserve. If they dont cap it, the banking system will collapse if the sheeple learn logic.
Bullish on banking, in that case :-p
Rochester, I'm mean.
Those Bronte sisters and their morally ambiguous male leads...
You are too kind to the politician.
More likely thinking about how they can suppress the new product entirely to please established interests.
Only if its already gotten away from them do they start thinking about expropriating the gains.
(Bitcoin is entering that stage right now...)
I really like her too. Strength, dignity, positive attitude.
But man, wouldn't want to be her...
Or Darcy either tbf, but he had a much better start in life until... oops no spoilers!
Jane Eyre's life is objectively terrible. Cinderella, except that Prince Charming is a cad.
The inheritance is pretty sweet, but until that...
Literally true. (Partial exception for the #USA.)
They only poison the DNS here. That's enough to stop the normie's.
"Low effort Fascism" should be #australia's national motto.
I wish I could say the same!
I get a "phantom space" in front of whatever I'm writing. If I delete it, #amethyst eats the last non-alphanumeric character before the last word.
:(
Bittorrent is easy to disrupt (my govt blocks the popular tracker servers), and easier to monitor.
IPFS over Tor is a much more secure way to share large files.
But yes, developers have been beavering away for freedom! Hats off to #decentralisation and #FOSS!
NGL, I think AI will continue to fail to be the idealised AGI every VC and secret police force is looking for.
But so will everyone you work with. AGI doesn't really exist because NI doesn't really exist. Not the way people think it does.

Its not just one bad apple, standards have collapsed across the pharmaceutical industry.

Qubes is very pretty, and offers a familiar windows-like UX. Of course, it includes a f---ton of code to provide that glossy windowing environment.
Its easier to pick up than my favourite KVM+Whonix, but it does have a larger attack surface.
Disposable VMs for the win!
Epic.
That electricity was probably among the most socially useful of the programs the govt pays for!
Human intelligence is a jerry-rigged mess of kludges and poorly optimised heuristics. What we experience as consciousness is a narrative constructed by our frontal lobes to create a sense of predictability and continuity out of the mess of inputs from more specialised and less logical brain areas.
I think the best LLMs are already more intelligent than 25% of the Western workforce.
Thanks for sharing!
Its actually a very interesting book, available for pirating here:

Kaufman may have to join Israel Shahak and Benjamin Ginsberg among my favourite Jewish historians!
"By the 1930s, the Sassoons had been doing business in China for a century, rivaled in wealth and influence by only one other dynasty--the Kadoories. These two Jewish families, both originally from Baghdad, stood astride Chinese business and politics for more than 175 years, profiting from the Opium Wars; surviving Japanese occupation; courting Chiang Kai-shek; and losing nearly everything as the Communists swept into power."
The old UNIX principle:
Software tools should have a clearly defined scope. Software tools should stay in their lane. If a software tool is highly privileged or highly complex, pay particular attention to (1) and (2).
This design principle has lasted the ages because it limits the scope of any particular bug, and it makes it possible to swap out problematic tools in a modular way.
SystemD deviates from that in quite consequential ways.
Then there's its historical management culture.
User: "D00d, when I create a user account called 0day, SystemD comes along and gives it root. Is this expected behaviour?"
Lennart: "WontFix"
Very, very similar to Debian and Ubuntu, but without PID 1 trying to be God.
Best range of FOSS software, supports everything from old desktops to supercomputing clusters.
