that was incredibly stasifying for me to watch though

as far as I can tell this is what inx.co is doing and they are about to launch. interesting company sounds like they have lofty plans and an executive board that has some interesting people (former nyse and tsx execs). both a platform for 'traditional' crypto but also building an exchange for fully regulated 'digital assets' a la digital representations of stocks etc

as someone who has an ocd need to get the 4 line tetris clear this triggers me

I think digital currency in the CBDC (central bank digital) sense is that its "programmable money." For example my understanding is that the beta testers (my term) for the e-yuan literally have 30 days to spend the currency through alipay or whatever they're using or it disappears forever. I'm sort of looking at it as a combo of regular money and smart contracts but thats just me.

Interestingly Jim Bianco (who you may see regularly on old-financial media) argues that all of these currencies will fail in favor of the defi stuff that's already being spun up. For example by the time fed coin is even being tested (2025) the technologies behind cryptos will be so mature that the tech the us fed is using (from 2015) will be dead on arrival

I was keto for six months a year or so ago and definitely felt sharper at the time as well. Turns out I like carbs more than clear headedness

Same. I'm not a fully qualified sys admin but I do have access to a number of our servers (I'm more of a full stack generalist than an expert at anything) and I immediately go to netdata when one of my services isn't acting right. For me its a nice 'system at a glance' where I can check on the host and then alert someone more knowledgeable than myself if there's something that looks off

> Woke crazies try to impose their ideology on others by complaining and shaming on the Internet.

I would argue that what ebay is doing is simply a permutation of this idea. Woke companies deciding what is and what is not suitable for you to spend your money on (shaming you for not spending your earned value on something 'worthy'). Meanwhile they don't seem to have a problem with mein kempf or however its spelled.

One interesting statistic is that more people dropped below the poverty line in the united states this year than any other year recorded to date.

Much like occupy wallstreet didn't really kick off until well after the 2008 financial crises, the impact of what is happening now in the economy will not be clear for several more years

correct me if I'm wrong but haven't all the mRNA vaccines skipped human studies / have 'emergency use' certification

probably good that ex cia chief john brennan is a regular pundit in the mainstreem media

So, isn't the implication here that quarantining people in apartment buildings is going to be equally ineffective?
