Thanks for fixing my math :D
Do you think a model EU would be reflected in a balanced CPI and salaries?
+52% to -46% is almost 100% difference, that's huge. Imagine that in different states in the US, India or PRC.
Life is strange to have a little skin in the game with Bitcoin.
Interest rates fall.. Cash money is further diluted. Bitcoin up.
Interest rate hikes.. Pain, defaults on repayments, saving made somwhat more attractive again and it might be actually worth saving your own currency.
Are Windows systems still a popular server choice for industry and companies? Surprised to read that malware aimed at gov would use Windows.
Very sad. Although you might not expect to hear of this level of general societal malfeasance much in advanced economies, it's probably not entirely uncommon. But it's precisely that there would be outrage and horror once upon a time. Now this kind of thing goes largely unnoticed while po-faced politicians, executives and aristocrats scurry about like festering rats, feeding on the carcasses of Keynsian economies. IMO.
That could be one of the most illuminating reads for an intelligent alien race retracing the plight of humans in the 21st century. It read like a novella. Hard to believe it is factual. Thanks for sharing.
I'm seeing the growing influence in PRC internationally, as people have both complained and parodied about US influence in international affairs. Or sometimes a very long reach in foreign domestic affairs.
Worrying trend when you have a duopoly. Is it better than a monopoly on global power?
I think it's a fair point.
I saw someone post that adoption had hit the point internet adoption had hit.

This was not the exact chart I saw, but I think there are parallels, similar trajectory. Onboarding is all being done without marketing, but I agree.
I'm trying to limit the interference. These days I'm not out and about, so easy to ignore.
Why do you need a mobilt if you are at home or in an office?
I think I understood the general underpinnings of the carry trade long ago, but I still don't get why markets react in the micro like they did August 5 2024.

Nor if the rate hike was a reaction due to market sentiment or what is Japan's game?
No problem. I was just in exactly the same predicament, close or not to.
I haven't FC in a long time and avoid it as much as possible. Just jacks up the overall fee.
I hear that the fee negotiation process has been refined a little in later versions of LND.
If you run LND, you can set the node's fee policy from
conservative
to economical
in lnd.conf
it supposedly would help on negotiating a lower fee-rate. As I understand.[Bitcoind] bitcoind.estimatemode=ECONOMICAL

No. I think it's a case of both nodes having to be able to communicate to set the fee-rate. If one channel partner is unreachable, there is no way that the other partner can be guarenteed to close the channel within the accepted parameters of both nodes fee policies.

Thunderhub, doesn't know for sure what the state of channels are (reachable/unreachable) at the time before you submit a request to either unilaterally or cooperatively close.
If you try to doit when a channel is unreachable, it'll assume it is and let you attempt to propse a fee-rate and then attempt to execute it. But you'll receive an error like:
UnexpectedCloseChannelErrorr. unable to gracefully close channel while peer is offline (try force closing it instead): channel link not found
i.e, it just won't allow it. You'd have to force close and accept the unknown fee-rate estimation.
I think the problem or part of, is how we are seduced into believing that we can only ever be in two camps. Climate change activists or climate change deniers. This is bogus.
Linguistic fallacies are precursors to binary thinking, false dichotomies and ultimately political and social manipulation. Pushing trigger buttons to divide and conquer through a controlled fabricated narrative, and outlawing of real debate.
Currently it is a specious debate. That is, apparent, seldom based on observation.
What grabs me specifically (in addition to all the anecdotal evidence) is that people's opinions are largely formed by media bias and the fact that their paycheck depends on them espousing the same data points. Data points which a re largely contestable and frequently are contested by looking a t wider data sets.
It's akin to trying to measure the circumfrence of the earth with a 15mm ruler and then doing the same thing every year to try to work out if it has changed.
