How would you go about doing this? As an example, if you loaned someone 167 monero to buy a car and expect them to pay you back in 7 years like a bank does you would be requesting 167xmr*6.02% (to counter xmr inflation) for a total of 177.053xmr. 177.053xmr/84 (months in 7 years) would be 2.107xmr a month. At the moment that is...
Well you don’t want to lose Monero and you don’t want to lose fiat, but you can’t have both. XMR isn’t a stablecoin.
If it matters more to you that you get your XMR back, then require XMR payments. You need to include the XMR volatility as part of the interest rate calculation.
If it matters more that you get your fiat back, then require fiat-equivalent in XMR payments.
Or, demand you get either XMR or fiat back, whichever is higher. But I don’t think a borrower would like this. Tesla did this when they let you pay in BTC; Tesla reserved the right to refund you in whichever currency was cheaper. For the consumer, it a bad deal.
Then you need it factored into the interest rate you decide upon that volatility may cause the price of XMR to get so high that your debtor would rather default than pay the debt.

Calamity is great, but if you’ve never played any other games, I’d try others before running straight from Terraria to Calamity. If just for a broader experience
There really is no way to verify that any email service isn’t a honeypot. Even if you open source your server code, that doesn’t mean it’s what’s actually running on the server. They could publish served code then be running totally different code on their servers with no way to tell.
Tuta’s biggest weaknesses for me right now are the seeming lack of independent audits and the lack of interoperability for encryption. Proton is the biggest competitor and seems to have both. However, Proton has grown more in the way that a honeypot would, adding VPN, cloud storage, password manager, etc, so more data collection points. Tuta is still email, contacts, and calendar.
Monero is actually the quickest to rebound! Huge moves down to 108 now 120. Monero moving faster than most other altcoins and Bitcoin. XMR community is the smartest and fastest, even without as many centralized exchange listings....

Unless this story is from preproduction software and they got rid of the computer icon. Or maybe that detail was misremembered and it was actually a disc icon.
End-to-end Encryption client-side is available from Nextcloud desktop client 3.0 and newer as a folder-level option to keep extremely sensitive data fully secure even in case of a full server breach. The server facilitates key exchange for syncing between devices and sharing but has Zero Knowledge, that is, never has access to any of the data or keys in unencrypted form.
It’s not a big deal if you self-host at home either. You can use SSL for the traffic and LUKS for the storage.
I lived through a campus shooting last year. As I watched college students climb calmly out of windows to escape the building, I realized this is a generation raised on constant shooting drills. That might explain why 38 percent of students who study on campus said they were worried about gun violence at their schools. Campus gun policies mattered at least somewhat to 80 percent of those surveyed. And of those who cared, students who wanted more restrictive gun policies outweighed those who preferred looser policies by five to one, according to the report.
Maybe we should spend less time criticizing the government for not infringing on our freedoms and more time educating prospective students about how to actually be safe?
Misleading title. The article’s title is “pause collection” not “block collection.” I think this isn’t OP’s fault though since the article was probably updated.
It turns out that the “Internet of Things” is full of automated snoops and spies. Data collection, now integrated into new car designs, is more pervasive than ever and is ushering in a brave new world of surveillance and corporate collusion.
BTC, ETH, and XMR are the only ones that matter. Some stable coins (USDC, GUSD) are okay, too.
BTC (Bitcoin) is good because it’s the most widespread. If a vendor accepts crypto, odds are they accept BTC. However, the blockchain is easily traceable.
ETH (Ethereum) is good because its blockchain is far more versatile, so it can be used for other things than just crypto payments. However, it’s less widely used for payments than BTC and is also easily traceable.
XMR (Monero) is excellent. It’s extremely difficult to track an individual user. Your transactions are private. There are some possible attack vectors for the future, but they’d require that you be an actual target to be worthwhile. Someone that’s going to track you is going to find a different way than XMR to do it. XMR isn’t as widely used as the others, though, and it’s also not on as many crypto exchanges. Kraken has it.
However, crypto as an investment is not a good idea. Spend your crypto.
Car design change? I’d assume that more aerodynamic cars airflow that sweeps more bugs away rather than smacking them into the glass. I can assure you that they still hit motorcycle visors.
Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc....
Test it here. Passphrases of 3 words take centuries to crack, without any numbers or capital letters. Passwords with numbers, capital letters, and symbols need ~14 characters to be that secure. If you need to memorize it, a passphrase is far superior. Add in a number, or random capitalization, or a misspelling and your security goes even higher.
This is very cool! Hoping it turns into an amazing project. I’d like to try this form factor. I’m concerned about the OS situation; hopefully it can run alternatives to a Manjaro-made immutable OS.

Actually that’s not correct. Media isn’t like other products, it’s protected speech. This is why even though we’ve sanctioned Russia, you can still go and read Russian Times. Even foreign media, which Tik Tok is, would be protected under our free speech laws.
Yes, while speech is protected, but the platform’s operations, websites, and apps are not. No foreign entity has a legal right to operate commercially in the United States. We’ve had sanctions and tariffs for years. 1A applies to free speech of Americans.
This is why this “ban” isn’t a ban, which the senators keep repeating. It doesn’t block Tik Tok or it’s website from being used by Americans. All it does is block Tik Tok from being distributed by American app stores.
With the new EU ruling, Apple is going to have to allow third party installation anyway, so you’ll still be able to use Tik Tok as if nothing happened.
Not relevant to USA because Apple could allow this only in the EU. And not applicable because websites are covered by the bill.
Because they’ve given you everything you’ve ever wanted, been nothing but genuinely kind to you, and done nothing you’ve ever disagreed with.
These other answers are dumb, but for it to be the dumbest it has to be dumber than “they did something I don’t think is wrong” and instead is “they did something that everyone agrees is right.”
