You ask me what I think. So far deepseek has been very consistently trying to advance state of the art research in a transplant and public way by writing papers and publishing working code. They are also not at the mercy of the stock market in the same way many Americans companies are. Before anyone assumes too much, I live in Europe.

It seems it had hardware support for secure mesh. Anyone know what that is?

I was looking into the numbers and what I could find was that is more like 350 than 750. Source: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-much-carbon-dioxide-does.... Still interesting fact not often cited.

Coal in China is declining.

"In the first half of this year, China permitted only 10% of the new coal plants as the same period last year."

We have a finite amount of carbon left. Each year we are already exceeding our share. This in itself means that future generations have less. At the same time, some people use more than others. It's not a matter if degrowth but about sharing ressources fairly.

We all live in the same planet, the most reasonable way to share this is that we get an equal share. For far to long certain countries have taken up much more of their share. To such a point that our whole carbon budget has been used in a single or two generations. Now is the time for those better of to contribute their fair share in solving this mess.

You mean China that built more solar last year than the rest of the world combined? Not to mention batteries.

I have a similar system, I have the latest 3 + active in one org buffer and the rest in separate files. Mostly use org mode for expanding headers. Super fast search for anything is the killer feature.

Denmark also has no capital gains tax and the housing prices has also gone up like crazy over the last year.

I guess the thinking must be that if it were taxed and say you bought a house for 500k and a decade later it is worth 750k and you have to move for another job to a place where a comparable house would also be 750k$, then you can't afford the "same house" any longer because you have to pay tax on the 250k gain. The funny thing is I don't think we would see this kind of increase on the house price if it where taxed, making the point pretty mood.

Does anyone know of a country with tax on capital gains from selling a house and how the prices on houses are there?

There is a browser based demo you can try out at: https://between-two-worlds.dk/.

It's the latest build of https://github.com/arj03/ssb-browser-demo.

If you need an id to follow to get some data, you can try following @6CAxOI3f+LUOVrbAl0IemqiS7ATpQvr9Mdw9LC4+Uv0=.ed25519. You need to manually add either a room or a pub under connections first.

This is actually quite decent for a first version. I can see that it has git integrated. What workflows do people use to combine git and sql?

But it is scaleable. On scuttlebot you follow people just like you have friends in real life. I also don't need to ask the government permission to talk to that person. That is DEcentralized for you right there.
