In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.

So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.

Must be proprietary, bc TOTP shouldn’t be blocked by age of the device

If talking about a closed source app, their whole goal is to move off of hosting closed source systems.

Article says the decision follows a successful pilot project, so they’re willing to absorb the short term costs. Optimistically in the long run, the symbiotic benefits of having a government entity using and supporting a full FOSS system will be huge.

What do you do for a living/what are you into that isn’t super deep in some way? What field did you rabbit hole into in the past that makes you go, “never again”, now?

I think people are being lazy, in a selfish, tragedy of the commons sort of way.

When standing in line, they all watch the customer stand there doing nothing as the cashier checks out items. If only they’d bag their own things, we’d all be able to get on with our lives that much sooner. Instead, they continue standing there doing nothing, as the cashier now bags their items.

Then the next person in line moves up and also just stands there, also unwilling to do anything to help speed things along.

Oh, interesting

Hell of a frame budget to work by, but I don’t know much about game programming

In the long run, nearly the same effect as 100% inheritance tax anyways.

The government won’t know the cash has been removed from the economy, but it’ll have been removed all the same.

Thank goodness for the Hippocratic origins of healthcare. Wish I could throw his words back at him so he could hear how insane it sounds in the context of healthcare. Just imagine:

You think a doctor sits back and says, ‘Gosh, how can we get the price of saving this patient’s life down?’ No, it’s like, ‘How high a price can I get and maximize the profit for my shareholder?’"

But surely there’s a practical middle between “shoot first, ask later” and “sit and wait an hour”

Technically, anything can be “hacked”, but that’s the same kind of technically as “any car can be broken into”.

Just like there are ways to mitigate getting your car broken into, there are ways to mitigate getting your system compromised.

Maybe have ocean voyaging ships (e.g. container ships) do controlled release of brine through their journey?

Though probably no way of achieving this via current economic and legal systems. Even if attempted today, ships would probably be incentivized to dump the entire payload the moment they cross into internal waters.
