Pretty interesting. I guess it was way later, when they came up with the SUID semantics and appropriated the first character for symlinks (l) or setuid binaries (s)...
> Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 is known as the coinage clause. It gives Congress the exclusive power to coin money. The Supreme Court has also interpreted clause 5 as giving Congress the sole authority to regulate every aspect of United States currency.
That supreme court interpretation is from 1820 so it's both "settled law" and "an outdated ruling", depending on who you ask.
This doesn't eliminate the penny, just pausing production of it. If he had unilaterally declared the penny no longer valuable then that would be unconstitional and require an act of congress
The distinction you make is irrelevant since both are under Congress' responsibility. The president has no constitutional authority to determine which currency is minted and how much of it is minted.
This law does not mandate continuous minting. So I think you are wrong that the Secretary of Treasury does not have the ability to say how much of a coin is produced day to day.
Legal scholars, such as Laurence H. Tribe, have noted that U.S. law grants the Treasury Secretary the authority to determine the quantities of coinage necessary to meet the needs of the United States. Therefore, if the Secretary decides that the required amount for a particular coin is zero, they are within their legal rights to stop its production.
someone already said but it's an emulator the way java vm or python vm are emulators. they emulate a computer architecture and environment that is uniform across different hardware types.
in the uxn case the different hardware types include small raspberry pis, Nintendo DS, etc. So having the baseline be really simple means knowing the code you've written for uxn will run on all these different hardware types.
You can also build a CPU that runs uxn code directly on hardware (I assume).
if you are a user then the only reason you'd run uxn on modern powerful hardware is if there is an app written for it that you wanted to use. Just like java, or python, or rust.
For a developer, grabbing uxn might be an aesthetic or political choice, like the language, or you want to target low power hardware use cases.
my first open source experience was thinking i knew better than the mana world devs about something and just screwing things up. i dont blame them for being standoff-ish as the internet is full of teens who got up one day and said "i could build my own MMORPG. how hard could it be?"
i have my own reasons for avoiding open source (ask me about them!) but i hope your experiences got better
> In a post for the SS Galichina veterans’ blog Combatant News, Hunka wrote that 1941 to 1943 — after Germany invaded Ukraine and before Hunka enlisted — were the happiest years of his life. He also recalled eagerly awaiting “the legendary German knights” to come and attack “the hated Poles,” using a slur for Polish people, in 1939.
Idk dawg he doesn't sound like most people.
If he was a typist, why would the Canadian pairlament give him a standing ovation fighting against the Soviets? The two options sound like war criminal or stolen valor.
Idk even in the face of geopolitical conflicts I don't think most people are rabid like this. Maybe in pre-WWII Europe they were, but they ended up gassing millions of people (Jews, communists, homosexuals, Romani).
So again, why is Canada giving this guy a standing ovation?
> For the first 3 years of WW2 USSR was an ally of nazis.
This sounds inaccurate or at best an oversimplification of the complicated pre-WW2 treaties flying all over europe. I only see this idea in reference to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, but that only lasted 2 years and was a non-aggression pact, not an alliance. But maybe you are talking about a different agreement?
Thanks! I was looking at stuff that lasted the mentioned 3 years which I couldnt track to anything, and grouped the Poland invasion as part of this pact, though it's worth mentioning separately.
Fwiw, Non-aggression pact means no aggression against each other but it was an coordinated invasion of Poland, so your right.
Was life ever like this? and if so, is it a failure of that life that it devolved into... this? and if not, how would you get there? These are facetious, here is my point:
You're drowning in ideology while decrying ideological wars because you have decided the way things should be, outlined that this would be a shared vision of all (if only they were as clear-headed as you), that this way would never ever devolve, and provide no path for getting there and hope no one asks. it's magical realism!
On one hand, yeah, that aligns with a vaguely socialist ideology and maybe some other stuff. It has some of my biases in it, particularly in terms of what our current problems actually are (a secular lack of fiscal equality), and that's very much up for debate. There are a lot of social and racial issues that also contribute to our problems, but...
On the other hand, this is the blueprint for the nations that currently have the lowest inequality and highest social mobility. Yeah, this reflects ideology, but at some point we have to actually pick something and picking something that's currently working isn't particularly ideological. Just because it happens to align with ideologies doesn't mean it's ideologically driven. Literally any solution will align with some random ideology.
I appreciate your followup but this ideology isn't random alignment. it's just a kinder, softer version of the dominant ideology. how do you think the 0.1% of a given "good" country gets all that money to tax? from resource and wealth extraction from the "poor" countries! Even presuming we should have a 0.1% to tax (instead of treating them like the french aristocracy, for example) is an ideological position. It's capitalism.
Fwiw, these were my biases too and then I think I just got jaded that you can't stay here. Ignoring the first world / western chauvinism at play, we could get there but i think even these "nice" countries are all going to backslide if, idk, we run out of computer chips, the global extraction economy fully shifts to China, or the IMF decides to punish them like they did Greece.
looking around online, yes there are robots. very very expensive looking robots like the Hadrian X and SAM100, both for stacking brick walls. but who is building full buildings with 100% brick these days*? we probably got more productivity gains when we stopped digging dirt manually.
My guess is that any tech like this coming out now is at the far right end of an S curve and the real gains are to be made politically and socially, though i doubt it's a regulation issue like the quote.
