Another alternative to a non-national global reserve is of course gold (or dare I say the B asset which must not be named)

Where did you find the time to read HN and write this comment? It's about prioritization. (My priorities are pretty much the same as yours)

I watched one of the 12-hour coin tossing marathons.
They were sitting with their laptops and pressed a button for every result.
I wonder if human error can explain (at least part of) the deviation from 50/50:
* locations of the buttons they pressed on the laptops (they only pressed once per toss before enter, meaning the button represented same-side or other-side)
* remembering what the coin started out as may be harder (or easier, but probably harder) when the result is other-side
* other??
Need to repeat this amount of tosses but with a higher degree of supervision to be sure of the result.

I'm guessing all of these banks asked their quotes to be removed, ans cnbc decided to cave in to all requesters at the same time

Olga was a famous doorkeeper at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
Students used to send her postcards from their journeys.
It became so popular that it was enough to write "Olga, Sweden" for her to get the letters [0] (source in swedish).

I love qutebrowser and use it daily (and donate to the compiler), mostly on Linux but also on Windows.
Here are some of my headaches that force me to use Chrome/Firefox anyway sometimes, if anyone has answers to these I am very interested to hear them.
* Can't save passwords / autofill (for accounts I don't particularly care about)
* UI scaling in Windows (for high-res screens) is bad. The web page contents do not scale automatically.
* Does not resolve Teams "secure links" (workaround is to right click teams links instead and copy them, then paste in qutebrowser)
* Twitter videos don't work
* On linux (somehow this works on windows), "accept all cookies" sometimes does not get rid of that prompt. Stack overflow is an example where this happens. Another example is redhat where the prompt does not load for a while [0]
* Clicking something that spawns a box where text can be inserted does not bring me into insert mode. Example [1] (the searchglass). This causes me to close the tab by mistake sometimes by typing 'd'.

What about bone strength though?
I wonder how it went for the farms that stuck to "non-tractor-generated crops" in the 1900s.
