If they don't want the negatives, it boggles the mind why they're shooting analog in the first place. Maybe just trying to get rid of some of that pesky excess money.

The whole reason I shoot film is for the physical artifact. Otherwise, it's expensive and inconvenient for no reason.

Imagine that. A new plague every four years.

So basically, a summarized Ground News?

I think Ground News is very interesting but seems very focused on the biases of other news sites, with summaries of what other news sites are saying.

I had imagined trying to become a primary source, but Ground seems to have taken a very sensible approach and built upon everybody else.

7 years, apparently.

no

Teams sucks everywhere.

Yeah. I wonder if MS dog food it

...but only when sending an email more than 500 miles away?

Alternatively perhaps when above 3096 meters in altitude?

I've read the distance story (https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles for the curious) but not the altitude one. Do you have a link handy?

James Ziegler and W Lanford first detected sea-level single-upset events in 1979 and in the decades following much of the research was done in Leadville, Colorado which has an altitude of 3096 meters. Unfortunately I can't find a link for the 1979 headscratcher at the moment. I will edit this comment if I do.

Yes. I rarely use an ORM.

Build a better mousetrap.

> If money is created as debt, how do you explain bankruptcies?

Banks typically loan money they don't have on hand (see fractional-reserve banking). And when they do that -- money is created out of thin air. Bankruptcies have nothing to do with it.

Not really.

Retail banks need to have the money on hand to lend. That can come out of deposits (leaving a portion in reserve for liquidity, should the deposits need to be redeemed. (hence, fractional-reserve)) or other capital. There's a ledger that has to balance.

A Central Bank (at least one that is in control of its currency) can lend money and have it essentially come from thin air.

If money is created out of thin air, then why do we need bankruptcies? The money has been created -- why do we worry about paying it back?
