People buy smaller and smaller denominations of Bitcoin then.

Which means earlier you invest more your Bitcoin is worth.

Until someone realizes that who ever was rich before is now loosing valur by investing in BTC too late and making early adopters rich.

The question is only when this ruse gets so outbalanced that no one wants to invest anymore which will either lead to inflation or the big crypto burn.

Imagine Microblades: standard Android phone form factor slide in servers.

Building a home lab k8s cluster by buying something similar to a phone.you could go to a website say if you want a display or not, how much storage and than you have a flat server you just slide into your case.

Then a few years later you buy a stronger one and replace it while the old one is used by someone else.

Like how a Nas manages your disks, k8s could manage your Microblades.

Cheap ha with Autoupgrade capabilities.

I could also start using the outdated Microblades for offshoring when I keep them running at my parents place.

The enclosed could also provide networking and perhaps a 13" slide out display with a display selector.

Wikipedias definition of inflation sounds exactly like op said and what I assume as well:

'In economics, inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money.'

I can afford less for the same unit of currency (Bitcoin) therefore I have inflation or deflation if I get more.

And people claim that Bitcoin is inflation save due to a limit amount of bitcoins being produced (I read that multiple times) while this is just not true.

I like what grafana labs does with grafana.

Im annoyed by their license choice.

But apparently when you are grafana everything looks like a dashboard UI?

Joke aside I will have a look but I didn't like the screenshots before already. I like the dashboardy thing for dashboards but otherwise it's not a really good UI system for everything else.

Hearing your message bus assumption sounds like one of the most ridiculous claims I heard.

Sorry but why is rabbitmq really necessary?

I have a 2k 27" and wanted to upgrade to 4k for a while but only with above 100hz and IPS.

The first displays were just super expensive and the second generation consumer gamer displays have fans in it.

I also was surprised that a display can have a fan but was a no go for me as displays normally live very long.

I will have a look at yours and the LG one :-)

Oh boy oh boy that thread had lots of ETH and sETH and oETH und BTC and what not.

No wonder that it's hard for some people to see the Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes and what else those things are called.

Regulations anyone?

Or do we now just see people loosing their money?

There are not many industry breaking huge china based companies globally in comparison of how many people they have.

Perhaps our way might not be that bad after all.

And while Chinese currently the EV market discovers it's totally unclear how the car industry will look in 10 years

I think 27" and 4k is a nice sweet point for a desktop screen.

I'm still waiting for one who doesn't have a fan in it.

Which o e do you have?

And you think that having the same amount of air taxies in the air that. SUVs on the street would still make the SUVs look bad?

Again at least with streets I know that an SUV will only crash close to streets with an air taxi it could crash everywhere.

Kindergarden? Yes.

Can we protect a kindergarden from an accidental SUV acceleration? Of course we can. Easy.

You have only that much of momentum from ground in comparison to something already in the air and just falling down.

We currently have a billion cars on the road. Of course we have plenty of accidents.

But that's not a valid comparison.

And perhaps we should also get rid of carsnow your argument is totally invalid

Now scale that up to a number which actually makes any difference and your SUV argument falls appart.

And yes it's totally valid as well to not allow it at all if only a handful of other people can benefit from it.

We are the people and I don't care if a rich person wants to do that. My airspace is more important than that one rich person.

I also say 'do not start polluting the sky's

And ' keep the noise down'

Technical debt is if you purposely don't write unit tests because you don't have the time for it.

Or clean code because no one will ever touch it again.

Or a feature you only need once and just write it somehow.

And then all this shit stays in your product and starts dragging you down.

This is totally different than when you start with a monolith and know that you might want to rework it later but accept potential future work.

And you should start with a modular monolith anyway.

I don't think it's reasonable to try to redefine the term technical debt.
