Printed what?

When was the last time you moved a trillion printed dollars?

"Printing money" today means moving virtual money around.

Banks can make money appear in Cayman Islands. "Here is a billion dollar SWIFT money order", that is it. There is no billion printed dollars. They "print" money at will.

It works? For who?

Ask the people who lost homes in 2008 if it works.

99,99% of world wealth is held by less than 1000 people.

Can you wrap your head around that? Less than 1000 people control all the wealth for the other 7 billion people who happen to be alive on this planet.

The environment is a wreck, the world is being destroyed, entire coral reefs are dying, we are pouring radiation into the sea, there are artificial islands of trash in the ocean.

We as a species will not last more than 100 more years on this planet.

What exactly "works" in your opinion? You have an iPhone built by slaves in China? Is that it? What works?

It is inexistent money.

The world financial system is printing money, they are moving trillions around several nations to hide the fact that this money does not exist.

How would you know how much value in U$ is hidden in Brazil by international banks? How would you know how much U$ is hidden in Singapore, South Africa, Mexico?

You don't know. The US reserves are audited, the European economies are regulated, but the capital movement around the world is impossible to track.

This money does not exist in reality, there is no record of it anywhere. But does anyone care? Has anyone read the Panama papers? Billionaires and world leaders are hiding trillions in bank accounts that you can open remotely, without hassle. This money is unaccounted for.

Banks are free to move as much money as they please around the world, they just print money and move it.

The trillions in funds around the world do not exist. The markets are rigged.

They crash at the convenience of banks.

Everyone except banks hurt in 2008. Banks then went in buying everything cheap. The people could not buy at all, since everyone was robbed. But banks were bailed out, so they had the money to buy cheap stocks around the world after the crisis they themselves created.

Is it not obvious? The crashes and the pumps are architected by banks. The people who lost homes got hurt, but banks didn't. Banks made trillions of $ from the 2008 crisis.

Because markets are rigged.

Money is being printed by banks and it is being moved around the world so no one notices in national audits.

China is printing money, US banks are printing money.

World debt is bigger than world economies, the US owes more than it produces, banks are free to simply borrow and speculate more and more.

Only the average citizens keep adding and subtracting money. Banks do not worry about money, they can print as much as they need, either by borrowing or by moving vapor money around the world to mask the true origin.

The world financial system is rigged. Money does not matter higher up, they are simply inventing value out of ether. 99,99% of the world works day in and out to support this rigged system.

kaputsmack··on Ask HN: Software licensing excluding military use?
Sure but it is also part of the author's own freedom to choose what his software is used for.

A lot has been talked about the restrictions of open source.

If I want my program used for things I agree with only I should have that right. If OSI says my license isn't good, then I'll be proud to have a non-conforming license.

kaputsmack··on Ask HN: Software licensing excluding military use?
Does OP require the license to be OSI approved?

Why can't he have his own license like Qt has? They have free version for individuals and paid version for commercial use.

kaputsmack··on How Chrome OS, Termux, YubiKey and Duo Mobile make for great usable security
Yeah, this is a no go for me. I don't use anything by Google at all. How can a security conscious person talk about privacy and security on a Google device? They are listening, filming and tracking every single thing you do near that device.
kaputsmack··on How Chrome OS, Termux, YubiKey and Duo Mobile make for great usable security
As long as you don't mind Google spying on everything you do.
kaputsmack··on Ask HN: Software licensing excluding military use?
The open source license doesn't have to discriminate if the author has 2 licenses from the start.

1) License one grants all open source rights to individual use.

2) Government and state-level entities require a commercial license to use it.

Just don't mention the military.

When the government requests a license, ask what it is ifor. If it's for hospitals or charity, give the license.

If it's for one more war waged for bankers, then tell them the license is 2 billion dollars.

Why did you bundle an equally experimental language like kotlin amid those other well established and widely used languages?
