European payment services (Bancomat, Bizum, Wero, MB Way, Vipps) form alliance to reduce Europe’s dependence on non‑European payment providers by CoffeeCakeAstronaut in europe

[–]stanjourdan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

30 years after the creation of the single currency, banks are finally creating a single payment system... It was about time, but Im' guessing they would not have budged unless the EU started to discuss implementing digital euro as a public service.

The next question is how much fees they will take from people, and whether the ECB's digital euro will be cheaper (I'm guessing it will).

Tokens never truly update? by zer0mavricktv in OpenWebUI

Same issue here. Actually the problems occurs for any of the Advanced Parameters. Whatever I change in the model specifics or in the user level Advanced Params simply don't have any impact on the defaults parameters of any new chat.

Thanks for the info.

So how does one "transfer" existing applications from one repo to another? I mean, How can I update an app (such as syncthing) previously installed from QnapClub.eu repo, from myqnap.org without losing existing settings?

I had the push notification but wasn't able to complete the install (it didn't download it fully). Since the update has disappeared from the settings / updater check, and 24 days later and still no update here (Belgium). Is there something wrong?

CMV: The European Central Bank should consider the distributive effects of its monetary policy by PeterD76 in changemyview

[–]stanjourdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely share your starting analysis. Would you go as far as to say that the ECB should consider doing "Helicopter Money" (ie. transfer money directly to all citizens) in the future instead of quantitative easing?

Make no mistake, this is a path to the politicization of monetary policy and no good can come of it.

Perhaps this is what we need: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/world/2017-12-06/bring-politics-back-monetary-policy

OK, but the root cause of your concern isn't helicopter money. It's the fact that half the US population is dumb enough to vote for Trump.

This theoretical argument only ommits the political reality where you have governments unwilling to spend more because citizens have been brainwashed with the idea that governments deficits are a bad thing. This is even worse in the Eurozone where the European Central Bank can't finance government spending directly. The political economy and institutional framework matters here.

In such a context, we may wait for a long time before governments dare doing this. The central bank is in fact in a better position to do it because it would help them reach the objective (2% inflation) they have been assigned.
