    My impulse buy of the month: an 1829 octavo, minted by the free state of Guanajuato (my family's home state).

    This was working people's coin. Also known as a tlaco, it was one-eighth of a silver real. At the time, it bought someone a basic meal of beans and tortillas. Not far from what a Mission rice and bean burrito costs today.

    The coin is worn and costed me less than $25. A modest piece that reminds me of what my family lived through.

    @skinnylatte Really, China has had a HUGE impact of Mexican culture and economy for hundreds of years, since Spain oriented trade from Mexico towards the Philippines/Manila to get Chinese goods. Most of the silver mined in my state of Guanajuato ended up there.

      Global silver trade from the 16th to 19th centuries
      The global silver trade between the Americas, Europe, and China from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries was a spillover of the Columbian exchange which had a profound effect on the world economy. Many scholars consider the silver trade to mark the beginning of a genuinely global economy, with one historian noting that silver "went round the world and made the world go round". Although global, much of that silver ended up in the hands of the Chinese, as they accepted it as a form of currency. In addition to the global economic changes the silver trade engendered, it also put into motion a wide array of political transformations in the early modern era. "New World mines", concluded several prominent historians, "supported the Spanish empire", acting as a linchpin of the Spanish economy. Spaniards at the time of the Age of Discovery discovered vast amounts of silver, much of which was from the Potosí silver mines, to fuel their trade economy. Potosí's deposits were rich and Spanish American silver mines were the world's cheapest sources of it. The Spanish acquired the silver, minting it into the peso de ocho to then use it as a...

    @skinnylatte My parents live in Guanajuato state and there are Chinese restaurants all over the place, even in small towns. They're big fans! Chinese Mexican communities have been around forever, well into the XVII century. That said, the country has had strong waves of anti-Chinese sentiment, particularly around the time of the Mexican Revolution, which led to Chinese Mexican communities sprouting up in China.

    Anti-Catholic sentiments are nothing new to the U.S., but Trump’s direct attack on Pope Leo XIV is extreme. That said, we cannot forget the U.S. assassinated another important religious leader just a few weeks ago: Grand Ayatollah Khamenei.

    I saw one of these super aggressive #Google #Waymos a couple of days ago on Folsom Stret, between 1st and Fremont! It was stuck behind a Muni 12 bus and its system decided the passengers were taking too long. Instead of waiting, the #robotaxi crossed the double solid yellow lines to pass the bus, driving into oncoming traffic. It put its passengers, drivers, people walking and biking at risk.

    Yay for 2026!

    Costco is basically an opt-in commune: you pay a membership, walk into a no-frills warehouse, and get access to bulk essentials under a single in-house label. There’s usually one version of each product, no ads, no upselling—just big quantities, decent wages, the occasional unexplained shortage, and a flat, shared experience. It’s central planning with free samples, pallets and shrink wrap.

    @joelvanderwerf For sure! I'm not going to say I'm a Costco fan just yet, but I definitely appreciate it. I've been shopping there since 2019 and I've seen their product selection improve significantly, with more organic, vegan and local options. I still go to Rainbow, but it's now maybe an even split.

    @skinnylatte No lie. I moved to Switzerland to study on a student visa at 18. Of my non-European foreign peers, perhaps 10% were able to remain there after their studies. The writing was on the wall from day one. Few made the voluntary choice to leave, like I did.

    Andy Yen should NOT be @protonprivacy CEO.

    I hope that its primary shareholder, the Proton Foundation, and its directors, Antonio Gambardella (Director at the Fondation Genevoise pour l’Innovation Technologique), Tim Berners-Lee, Dingchao Lu, and Carissa Véliz Perales exercise their fiduciary duty before Andy digs Proton into a hole. His simplistic political opinions actively harm the foundation's mission and statutory purpose.

    Also worth noting that the Andy fellow doesn't even have full signing authority at Proton AG and cannot sign documents or agreements without a signature from another authorized signatory, so that's good. There's adequate oversight.
