Solution: switch to linux

I haven't worked on a a Mac since the mid 90's but afaik Macs are now on a Linux kernel so there should be a workaround.

Close. BSD. But diverging therefrom.

Close, Mach kernel but diverging from that too.

(It's just NextStep)

Well, looks like the Brit gits are about to commit economic suicide. Thank heavens there is bitcoin so the people can exchange their worthless "pound" for something that will have value.

I'm going to enjoy watching this unfold.

I think the problem is that the opposition offered even more economic suicide. Even if they kept it soft with the EU their Venezuelan ideas would've driven away most business. Unbelievable that it's come to this.

The only bright spot is the Scottish Nationalists wiping out everyone up North which means the union might break up and I can leave England to slowly fist itself. Failing that I may buy some toothless Bulgarian grandma for a pittance so I can marry her.

On the positive side, Ireland will finally be united after N. Ireland becomes an economic wasteland and begs to join with their bretheren.

I doubt Ireland can afford the Northern Irish, let alone want them. The current arrangement suited them very nicely. Northern Ireland costs the British taxpayer a shit ton to run. The rest of the UK picked up the tab, kept a lid on the loyalist nutters and the flow of business into Ireland was seamless.

Only in the short term. In the longterm EU Is gonna perform a lot worse. It's a sinking ship and leaving can bring some turbulance. But once you save yourself and you reach the shore of an island you can start a better life.

Hm. There is that....

Why is selling low so popular?

[jojo69]

Don't take it too seriously, when I say "I'll cut you" or I"ll beat you"

or call you "pedo guy"?

I haven't called anyone that.

Yeah I know, "don't take it too seriously" just sounded like Elon's recent defense.



don't take it too seriously

What is more important for you? Happiness or money? Rich in good feelings or rich in paper?

Rich in every single aspect would work I guess...... and damn I did enjoy Jumanji

...worthless "pound"...

ummmm


Pound soars on exit poll forecast of Tory majority

Money of any form will never be as important as family and friends... unrighteousness riches is limited!

People are snapping them up as collectors items. :-) Just wait till the Brit bank "devalues" it to "save the Union".

[JayJuanGee]

C'mon 1% daily piranha traders, you miss the huge pump from 7195 to 7210. Go, eat that profit immediately!

Edit. And 3 mims later back to 7195. Nice job, guys, you got immensely rich!

Doesn't seem healthy to argue with the price and attribute players to it, especially the smaller, range bound and largely inconsequential moves.

Bitcoin miners are hurting.

The last 12 months has been the least profitable in all of the prior 5 years to be a Bitcoin miner.

There's blood on the streets.

And what are they doing, exactly?  Those limeys?

Interesting article, Bitcoin and Gold.

Bitcoin’s price has to balloon to $425,000 a pop, or a massive 5,570 percent, to equal the total supply of gold in world markets.

the correlation between the two assets is at its highest since 2016. When seen in the context of the several cases of political and economic turmoil which saw capital movement out of traditional fiat currencies and into “safe-haven” assets, this like-for-like movement makes sense.

425k per btc to equal the ENTIRE gold supply in the market? honestly, i'm a little surprised it's that low.

but then, if i recall correctly, all the gold out there could fit in a cube 100 feet square or something insane like that.

In a long shameful convoluted story, I find myself with a new tricked out MacBook Pro 16", and a Time Machine brain transplant from the last machine. Not yet fully cloned. New MBP runs only Catalina. Apple has seen fit to -- get this -- prevent users from writing to the root directory of the filesystem.

Now I need to figure out how I want to map a nearly four-decade-old directory structure to the absurd dictates of my new environ.

jojo69's hell may be different - dunno.

Good news, everyone.

While it is not really well documented, there is a workaround.

Apple has created a new type of symlink-like filesystem construct. Using this synthetic link, one can create a 'ghost link' in the root of the filesystem. This link can redirect to another place in your filesystem, like any normal symlink. It does not, however, exist on disk. It is instantiated at boot. One configures these links through an fstab-like mechanism: a new file /etc/synthetic.conf.

After creating a link using this mechanism and rebooting, my filesystem looks like it used to. I am now happily restoring over 400,000 files -- over 220GB -- from Time Machine to this new phantom filesystem location. So all my old scripts and such should work just fine.

More info at man synthetic.conf.

Why Apple's second-level support was utterly unaware of this workaround is a mystery. But there you go.

Current estimates point to there being 190.040 tonnes of gold. So BTC1 is as rare as about 9kilos of gold.
