@cjd
> to avoid bubbles, I will buy bitcoin

Sorry, but no.

Anyway, if Poland can't hold its promise on 10-year retail bonds then that probably means my home town is getting overran by RUS soldiers and I have bigger problems.

5. Insurers get to make a fuckton of money
6. Having children is even more expensive, fertility rate plummets

@cjd hmm ok

Still, the insurance would be socializing the costs of crime, just this time it'd be risk-weighted.

That means risky activities that you nevertheless want to encourage (eg. having children) will be economically disincentivized

@cjd without the next generation, any pensions are doomed. Fewer working people -> fewer goods produced -> same money chasing more goods -> inflation

And inflation is basically tax on savings

@cjd what if government is *not* spending money on the eldery, but the eldery have a fuckton of savings that they weren't spending for decades and now want to spend it all?

@cjd not if you print more money and let inflation eat the existing one

@cjd
by "destroy X market" do you mean make it so cheap it can't be used to hold savings, or make it so expensive nobody can buy?

@cjd I can't fuckin wait.
AI bubble burst 2028 let's gooo!

@nadia so you'll need to count how many USB endpoint each device has and make sure the sum of them doesn't exceed the controller's limit.

Most normal devices have like 2-3 endpoints each, but Android phones have like 10-15.

@nadia
Not a hub recommendation, sorry if unhelpful, but:

if you don't want Weird USB Shenaningans, you might need multiple USB host controllers.
Because there are some ID limits that are per-controller and no amount of hubs can increase that pool.

There are PCIe cards thay have like 4 USB-A ports, each on its own controller.

@cjd let's gooooo!

@loke @quad it's good enough to prevent timestamps in the future when copying files, comparing logs, or collecting metrics between different computers in your network

@loke @quad I boosted a post by one of those people earlier today :P

@dragoonaethis @quad can you hear the heads move like with Ultrastars?

@dragoonaethis @quad I have a couple HUA723030ALA640 (3TB, 7200rpm) and when they're busy, you can hear them crunch from another room.

@nytpu ok but GNU's goal was EEE. GNU runs on everything, everything runs on GNU

@nytpu
> doing illegal things is illegal

TIL

@feld
> you'll be free, hackers

Freedom implies responsibility.

Also, he's talking to hackers. Being a hacker implies a certain level of interest in computers, close to what @toast described as "engaged users".

Now, I'm not saying the world doesn't need a FOSS operating system for the general population, that will free it from vendor lock-in. But that would have to be a different OS than the one optimized for hackers.

@feld @toast
gatekeeping is not inherently wrong
