More likely that some generated code will end up in some library that handles timing operations for rail switching and it will cause an accident and America will ban trains as a result

invalidusernamelol,

Pulling out so much bond investment at a loss is kinda spooky. The Chinese have much more reliable Intel about what the US government is planning than just about anyone else, and a massive move like that means their confidence doesn’t even extend out 5 years before a conflict big enough that the Fed would wipe out any global trust in the USD.

invalidusernamelol,

The idea that they’re forming an alternative USD market also makes sense. A majority of the world holds debt in USD and if they control enough of the supply through their own banks, it’s harder for the US to force a nations hand by forcing them to trade when they can go to China for the same USD loan on better terms.

It also gives them the option of loaning out USD and requesting payment in another currency (either theirs or the domestic currency of the loan holder)

invalidusernamelol,

Definitely, it’s ironic that dollarization basically starts with massive adoption of the dollar.

This is like the nation state version of Microsoft’s the E’s

Embrace the dollar

Extend it’s usage in global trade through your own financial instruments

Extinguish the original dollar

invalidusernamelol,

Possibly the only instance of that capitalist process being used for good lol

invalidusernamelol,

They’ve been banned lol, just woke up to this report and thought it was too got not to share.

Also the banning is not my doing, my moderation style is to wait until they’ve been bullied so much that they report to me and I make sure they’re bullied harder.

Bill Burr is just 70s union guy or the lovable uncle that will use correct pronouns for people, but also still talk about how much he loves women with a bush.

invalidusernamelol,

It’s easy for them to support because it serves their interests. It’s hard nosed because acknowledging that it supports their interests means acknowledging that they have the same interests as the people they position themselves as being against.

invalidusernamelol,

That’s a legitimately good project that they tried, what ever came of it?

invalidusernamelol,

Those reports will be how the USA is remembered in history textbooks in 100 years

invalidusernamelol,

That would have been nice to have, as someone who didn’t get that luxury I’m worse off than people making $7/hr less than me because I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck since I was 18 with no parents to help me and one I have to financially and physically support.

invalidusernamelol,

I wasn’t abandoned, my father killed himself because the IRS and bank were coming after him for our home (which we lost after he died). Then my mom moved to Florida (with her boyfriend who she met at his wake and was a highschool friend of my dad’s) because she couldn’t get a job up here and we had nothing.

I chose to stay with my younger brother because we had life and connections here. My mom just finished getting through the bankruptcy from the unpaid taxes (which was partly due to a client of my father’s company lying about making payment leaving my dad with a massive tax bill for money he was never paid). He was also the sole employee of his own company, so it died with him.

invalidusernamelol,

It’s less than 2000 records. If they had them all in one place that’s only like a few weeks of data entry at worst

If they had to go out and find multiple data points per year though…

invalidusernamelol,

Anything nuanced is simplified and anything simple is bogged down in nuance

invalidusernamelol,

Didn’t expect the Economist to put out such a positive story about China

invalidusernamelol,

Hey it’s like Bush’s policies but more conservative

invalidusernamelol,

I remember having a pretty long debate about how the framing of pitbulls as “naturally aggressive” animals had its roots in prenology and race science, then for a while thought I might have over estimated on that, but it’s good to be proven right sometimes

invalidusernamelol,

They absolutely include 1900 as the “we aren’t tracking other info” option. Or they are least use other means to determine your age.

invalidusernamelol,

Damn Google maps updated fast. 70% of Guyana is now in Venezuela with the dashed line.

Also now Jonestown is in Venezuela…

invalidusernamelol,

Free software will always be the most secure because everyone knows how it works and no one can merge backdoors or honeypots into the code without all the other maintainers noticing.

Or at least bring able to find out during an audit after a merge in the worst case.
