  • Well in the EU you get instant free payments through SEPA and the US is trying to implement something similar with FedNow. Doesn't solve the cross border issues, but Wise does once you can get the money on Wise. I get paid in dollars via ACH and they become euros real fast once I see them in my account. 1000 dollars converted is just under 3 dollars in fees and then the transfer from Wise to any other SEPA account is free and instant.

    Now crypto could very well make this all even smoother worldwide but unfortunately we have governments and they like to see what's going on. So no reputable merchants will ever be able to take XMR payments in most countries.

  • ML was called AI before too, but since the consumer didn't interface with it directly usually, it was just part of the marketing, not the entirety of it.

    Had a fancy ML algo power a small part of your solution? Your software is now AI powered.

  • Fair enough - but then in a rental apartment, I wouldn't use electric either because usually the heating bill for central heating is calculated by apt size for everyone rather than usage, so I'd end up paying twice over. Newer buildings can have individual measuring devices which changes things.

  • You can, but they're very inefficient. A heat pump is significantly more efficient and can also keep you cool in the summer if necessary

  • Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference'

  • This average height manlet here is glad to be off Tinder. It sucks. I'd honestly rather pay prostitutes. I've never done that, but seems better value for money if you value your time as much as money (and I personally value it more)

  • Absolutely - if you're good about your opsec. If you're not, it's almost worse than a bank transaction and for sure worse than cash.

  • Well nowadays she's a 22 year old woman

    How old was she when the whole Greta hate started all those years ago? Grown ass men dunking on a literal schoolgirl who had more integrity and intelligence than any of them.

  • I hope she enjoys the Mini! Though at this point that's a fairly modern car. 15 years old is 2010 and many of those allow retrofitting factory options for sound. I'm looking to get Carplay in my brand new 18 year old German shitbox that's both falling apart and in excellent shape at the same time. Mr12volt has kits for a lot of those, but sadly no Minis.

  • Things are slowly starting to get better in a lot of the fields I interface with.

    Payroll and accounting software? Many great browser-based offerings. Unfortunately that also means the backend is running in the developer's servers, but these applications were generally proprietary to begin with.

    EMR company I've done a lot of work with (used to be an engineer there), has essentially halted progress on their Windows-only native client (and it was DEEPLY entrenched in Windows) and is now browser based, retaining 99% of functionality. This one always connected to a proprietary backend anyway.

    Own a VW, Audi, Seat, Škoda, Bentley or Lamborghini (depending on model year for some of those)? The popular 3rd party diagnostic software for those, called VCDS, now has a mobile variant if you buy the wireless dongle instead of the cable - it runs a server in the dongle itself that you connect to via wifi, and it displays the sofware as a website. Of course it's available for non-mobile browsers too.

    Common theme among all of these is that none need to do heavy data processing on the client - though nowadays that is also solvable using WASM.

  • My culture is a very dominant culture, and it's imposing and it's causing problems. If you don't do something about it, you're going to have taco trucks on every corner.

  • I mean if I found a wallet with a million euros worth of bitcoin, I'd sell half and keep half. If it rises significantly, sell half of the remainder. And so on.

    If I found a wallet with like 5k worth of BTC on it though? Just sell it all right away, it'll do more for me now than say 10k in 5 years which is an insane long term return tbf.

  • I do hope you're being real careful with your opsec if anonymity is important to you. Generally speaking, more people will know who paid who with crypto compared to bank transfers. Chains like Monero are an exception of course and yes, there are ways to anonymize other wallets too, but it requires a great deal of care, more than I personally trust myself.

    You've got a valid point for the card payments where there are huge fees the merchant has to pay (nearly 2% for many I think), but bank transfers are infinitely cheaper (free) and instant, compared to paying gas fees and waiting. Obviously this is not true for all banking systems yet, but it's getting there.
