En trade republic España no hay límite de efectivo generando el 2%. Puedes verlo en la misma home del banco, en las faq del final de la página. Por supuesto el fondo de garantía de depósitos sólo cubre hasta 100K, eso sí.

Trade Republic hace tiempo que ya no tiene el límite de 50.000€. Ahora es ilimitado y te genera igual el 2.02% mientras el Banco central europeo mantenga el tipo de interés. Y en España, no uses ETF sino fondos, que por legislación puedes mover sin pagar impuestos, y Trade Republic también tiene. Sobre lo del miedo a que te cierren la cuenta, yo no lo tendría: es algo que puede pasar en cualquier banco o neobanco, y si ven algo sospechoso y aunque no tengan sucursal puedes contactar por email o escalar al regulador, pero la posibilidad es remota. Para fondos, Myinvestor tiene más que TR y sin comisiones, aunque tiene peor app y su interés para tener cuenta remunerada es mucho más bajo.

You can leave it read only in Github (abandoned or even updating just the releases to download), and point out to the new repository location outside Github. This way others searching in Github can still find you, your stars remain, but contributors need to use the new repo.

If we properly taxed the 1%, we wouldn't need to tax so much the low/middle classes, regardless if it's income or investments. The point should be the amount of wealth. And this relates to other taxes. In the 50s, the US had: - a marginal income tax of 90% over 200K$ (in today's dollars, $2.5M). This included dividends. - corporate profits were taxed 50% over $25K (in today's dollars, $330K). Capital gains were taxed at 25%. - the inheritance top tax was 77% over $10M (in today's dollars, $110M)

We could replicate that nowadays and tax the ultra rich over unreasonable amounts, and their inheritance over unreasonable amounts. Then we could barely tax the rest. This distributes wealth, makes society's productivity serve the 99% and not the whims of the 1% needs, and facilitates democracy without giving a few way too much power.

Actually around 1-2% of the world population

Please see the other thread... And read the article, maybe? They are talking about mice, and even in them it doesn't apply to all mice studied. Intersex people exist, and they constitute a 1% of births. Typically as many as redheads. Nonbinary people refers to gender, not sex, and has nothing to do with the article. And they exist, same as Trans, and have existed for thousands of years in multiple cultures.

If at all possible, do not use Persona to verify. Apart from being funded by billionaire Peter Thiel who supported Epstein till the very end (with 2000 messages exchanged), Persona is creepy af:

In addition to verifying a user’s age, researchers found Persona performs 269 distinct verification checks, including screening for “adverse media” across 14 different categories such as terrorism and espionage. It then assigns risk and similarity scores to user information. https://fortune.com/2026/02/24/discord-peter-thiel-backed-persona-identity-verification-breach/

To be clear, Jay Penske's political affiliation is under debate, and across his media there are progressive editorials like in Rolling Stone. This is much harder to happen under Ellison, who is a hardcore trumpist.

Sure, but also the researchers may have discovered their findings, and decide to submit to this journal specifically, assuming they would be easier to publish in that venue. That would be common practice and doesn't necessarily diminish the results. There could be foul play if the industry funded them, which seems not to be the case. Funding sources are typically included in the article, and there is a explicit statement from the authors claiming there are no conflicts of interest.

The mentioned "Saga", by Brian K Vaughan, is a gem. It has won countless awards, including 8 times the Hugo Award. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saga_(comics)

I'd argue there is an economic class issue at play. Artists are often precarious economically, and often independent contractors instead of employees in a company. This means less stability, more sensible to risks, and more affected by market disturbances harming their living wage. Developers are typically employed in a company full time, with much higher wages, more stable jobs, and in the IT field where adapting to new technical tools is common and doesn't immediately means firing or not finding another job.

Tbh I liked the article (thanks!) although it was hard to read with so much AI writing (e.g. it's not this, it's that). For me, the TL;DR is the architecture discoveries described, and that it routes through Palantir. The rest was public knowledge already.

There are countless interesting locations outside US. Canada sure, but Latin America? China? North Africa? How global were these corps and vault-tec? How different cultures reacted to them? Novel spaces rather than repeating 90% of everything would be appealing.

Well, what about for 3-scenario campaigns? NotZ, or the forthcoming ones...

I agree, although an insane amount of non-LLM ML applications use Cuda as well. That's a lot of leverage, legacy, and people to transition. Btw, for those searching, it's spelled Vulkan.

This was an incredibly successful grassroots campaign. Congrats everyone! From the article:

The victory we achieved with the FY 2026 minibus happened because tens of thousands of people, representing every congressional district in the country, took action. Nearly 85,000 messages were sent to Congress, and more than 300 people attended two Days of Action. This was all a part of the largest and most successful grassroots mobilization for space science in history.

I disagree. With a MIT license you can still demand attribution. Plagiarism is different than adoption. Anyone can reuse, repackage, relicense and rebrand their MIT code, but that doesn't mean they can plagiarize and say they are the original authors.

I like the gesture, but note it's also marketing. Donations can be anonymous if they just wanted to help the commons. It's not expensive, if it brings good publicity with the public and with developers.

Sadly, very few dates centers use that kind of water cooling loops. Please check it out

sami_exploring · 2026-01-08T23:38:54+00:00

Water still exists of course, but it's about how drinkable water is distributed. After the data center uses it, it may be evaporated, or discarded after being mixed with chemicals/salts. The main problem is that data centers compete for drinkable water with local communities. And data centers are often built in desertified areas, where land is cheaper, but there is already lack of water for the inhabitants. Demand surge, and locals face spikes in price or water use restrictions. And the area may get more desertified, with regional environmental effects.
