The stigma against gambling exists because of the fallout when the gambler crashes and burns. The primary concern is for the dependents that the gambler is financially responsible for. The second order is the gambler's vulnerability to blackmail.

I feel that once a person starts gambling, they've just demonstrated they are not fiscally responsible. There should be a hard stop on increasing debt through loans or credit cards, and any income should go directly to the dependents and not pass through the gambler's hands.

Gambling is as destructive as DUI and should be treated with the same level of severity.

You restated his point less succinctly.

Good name for a punk band though.

more likely, investment bankers class and war profiteers with their friends!

Why not all three?

If IMF thinks AI is going to be the answer, I would agree with it if we use AI to

Uncover financial fraud

Ripping apart layers of shell corporations

Identifying tax evasion strategies and who is using them

The hard part will be getting anybody to care and act on it.

How is this different from lxd/lxc? How tied is this to kvm or could it work with other hypervisors like xcp-ng, VMware, or virtual box?

lxc/lxd are ~container managers, the kernel is still shared like docker containers. It runs on linux & needs to run in a linux virtual machine on macOS.

smolvm is a virtual machine with the ergonomics of containers like packaging and distributing, kernel is not shared. You'd run containers inside of smolvm.

Also, smolvm runs ontop of both kvm for linux and apple's hypervisor for macOS. So it's cross platform.

Now let's talk about the 155mm artillery shells

I think people were surprised to suddenly have a lot of demand for those.

Sure. Heavy industry. It's important. Maybe don't send it all to Asia because it's dirtier than software and finance.

Are you thinking of 100mhz (3m)?

Sending data by radio is messy, slow, and generally disappointing. Start your journey by reading up on the Aloha system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALOHAnet.

My apologies, I meant 10m (28 MHz). Brain fart. It’s slow but it’s more than adequate for text, and range is excellent (hundreds of miles).

The addition of batteries as an intermittent power source brings us closer to 100% renewable energy and allows us to incrementally decommission dirty plants, such as coal- and oil-fired plants.

The design goal of adding a battery to grid power sources is to capture energy that would otherwise be lost when demand is lower than generation. In addition to capturing excess production of wind or solar-derived energy, one could capture unused energy from our current baseload generating plants overnight. We could also, this would also let us capture the energy that would otherwise be wasted by unnecessary nighttime lighting.
