Reddit was like that 15 years ago.

You keep posting this graph with no context, but the euro has also had very high inflation.

This is bad faith and you know it, that’s why you aren’t actually discussing it, just posting a misleading graph.

USD had 141% cumulative inflation since 1990

Euro has 115%

The pound has 143%

Brazil ( a member of brics) has nearly 1000% since 1994 (25 million percent from 1990 like the other countries.

China, arguably the biggest contender for stability in brics has 160% inflation.

Why aren’t you including charts for all of these countries? And why are you using a chart showing inflation values from before USD was used as the international currency in 1944 with the bretton woods conference, without demonstrating why that is important and what it means? Given that this is in the context of global currencies.

Isn’t the first graph just general inflation? What does purchasing comparing purchasing power mean in this scenario? And how does it compare to other currencies like the pound or the euro?

Also the conclusion of the second article you linked seems to indicate that no other large scale currencies are replacing the shares of the US dollar, instead things like gold and diversified currencies are taking up this space, those don’t take the place for international trade.

Neither of these seem like a death knell for USD to me.

Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.

Each person doesn’t need to host everything.

The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.

But that is them accepting it.

Why federated and not just regular p2p?

Internet archive already supports torrents.

1000 perfectly timed butt pokes.

People generally don’t like being proselytized.

It’s 4kb it’s the demo scene.

To expand, the rendered to video output is much more than 4k, but the file that produces the output can be small like that, this is usually done by doing a bunch of math to generate the output dynamically.

You can kind of equate it to how a video game can generate 120 frames of 4k footage every second indefinitely, but the game itself is limited in size.

Recording the output takes up space, but you don’t need to record it if you can generate it in demand.

I think text is going to be the most dense, information wise. With plain text you could fit about 2500 average length books in 1gb, that’s not considering any compression.

Additionally, you could create a novel representation of words to reduce the total amount of text and include a key to expand it back out, replacing common groupings of letters like ‘ch’ with ‘k’ for example

If you could get a 2:1 compression ratio from your modified alphabet and a 4:1 compression ratio from traditional compression algorithms you could get up to 20 thousand books! That’s a book a day for 55 years,

I think music is gonna take up way too much space. Compressed all the way down to 32kbps which is going to be a pretty miserable listening experience (everything will sound underwater) you are only going to get ~75 ish hours of music.

Cut that in half for a more tolerable 64kbps.

It’s a decent amount of music, but not a lifetime’s worth of your only entertainment imo.

Edit: for some context on audio, 320kbps mp3 will only net you 7 hours of music.

While trading in general is zero sum, if you believe the product you’re trading has intrinsic value, then no one needs to be holding a bag.

If I sell you a car and you get to use the car, you wouldn’t be holding the bag, because you wanted the car. This applies to stocks, and stock derivatives, as well as commodities.

The problem arises when there isn’t an intrinsic value (or the intrinsic value is very small), such as with NFTs or many cryptos in general.

There are cryptos that have some intrinsic value like monero, since they have fungibility and a use case, but most do not.

The steam deck didn’t exist when the switch came out, it innovated and filled a niche that turned out to be a severely underserved segment of the gaming market.

Nintendo struck gold with the switch, and a ‘switch 2’ likely isn’t going to cut it.

It’s not like Nintendo is infallible, remember the console before the switch was the Wii u.

Yea and that’s more than half of the cars driven in the United States.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.
