I use Yandex a lot now for not censoring me. Maybe I'll have to try this.

What do we do, set our inflation target to -2% instead?

I Learned discrete math, got an A, didn't learn a damn thing.

Like a war on terrorism, that then fights domestic terrorists, that then protects Tesla; any new power will inevitably be abused. Snowden taught us that a long time ago.

Well that can't be true, why would anyone have ever made a dynamic typing system?

Well its still early days, Biden was very against Crypto, so point of sales systems couldnt provide it. Companies like Square are now working on it, so you will be able to use it; or any form of cash you want, or fractional shares and gold etf.

Maybe all currencies will just be forced to compete on inflation one day, and everyone will use the one with the lowest annual growth in new supply.

You want just a fatty wad of cash, and for tellers to sit there counting change or what?

Or maybe a CBDC, so they can inflate it even more, giving out your purchasing power like like its a political football?

Do you think credit cards are ideal? People happily pay a 4% fee to Visa to buy something at the store, yet you think a spot convert is going to be the death knell?

As well as the deflation of their currency, as the currency increases at around 10% a year, as you're praying that a CPI that does hedonic adjustments and substitutions maintains your standard of living; as we go from free range to factory farms, and housing appreciation is excluded entirety.

Maybe it wont be bitcoin, maybe it will be fractional shares, or spot convert gold, but I am definitely waiting for the day when I can hold 0$ in cash. I'm already near 0, but I'd like to replace it entirely.

Well productivity is a good thing, I think the problem is the incentives. Their government essentially funnels all the money to their elderly via monetary policy, and the youth get the table scraps.

In server 2025 its gone I think.

It's objectively more private, if you take your own bias out of the equation. Monero doesn't get much use however, its not very popular but it is private.

I can barely even set a static IP on Windows Server these days. I wiped out a partition the other day as well since the UI is so slow, its like it's using a REST api to do partitioning.

Ah weird.

Well python is slow due to garbage collection and dynamic types, if AI could fill those in it would make programming far easier at least.

You could write low level drivers in python.

America wants it, and provincial powers override federal, so there's no real alternative than a crisis unfortunately.

Europe is actually building their military as well. Which their progressive voters needed a crisis to do so.

Carney also praised Trump as a great leader, did the CBC miss that part?

"Thank you for your hospitality, and above all for your leadership. You're a transformational president focused on the economy, with a relentless focus on the American worker. Securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentinal and other opioids, and securing the world."

I do think they know each other prior and that seems quite obvious, and that getting Carney elected was a part of a larger plan to get a pipeline to the east coast to defund Russia; using the Alberta separatism crisis to do so. Trump plays an idiot, but even the level of the tariffs were concocted to push this crisis, which was the true reason for Daniel Smith to go to Maralago.

Could AI allow you to write code in python, and then turn the python into a static language with static variables at least?

Whats weird is how bad reddit works in a basic web browser, which is where the app started.

Solar and wind definitely are cheap, until you include billions in lithium batteries to support the grid during the periods of the worst case energy production. Energy grids arent easy to restart if they go offline, blackstarts can take days and cost billions of dollars and lives.

What makes nuclear so expensive is the environmental movement through litigation, funded by oil and gas, so it makes it prohibitively expensive. I wouldnt be surprised if wind and solar are funded by oil and gas, since its perpetual vaporware, and storing that much energy for a 100% uptime grid is a massive fire hazard. France was able to build 60GW of nuclear 60 years ago before we even had computers, but I guess technology regressed and suddenly its too expensive to build.

Look at Germany shutting down its nuclear power, they ended up spending half a trillion dollars to keep the lights on due to their idiotic ideals; which would have funded the next 50 years of nuclear power. China meanwhile just pumps them out, and will replace Germany in the future, when their energy allows the cheapest production of goods and AI.
