By consolidating its reserves in Paris and upgrading to modern-standard bars, France has made its gold safer to manage and easier to sell or trade internationally. The sale also demonstrates how central banks can capitalize on favorable market conditions and generate substantial profits

Rather than refining and transporting the old stock, the bank purchased an equivalent amount of new, compliant gold in Europe, which now sits in Paris alongside the rest of France’s reserves.

The overall size of France’s gold reserve, around 2,437 tons, remains the same.

Best argument from the article imo:

It’s a simple matter of screen real estate. Virtually every modern computer display is widescreen, which is to say it’s wider than it is tall. Websites and web apps, meanwhile, are practically always vertical experiences. Whether you’re on a 13-inch laptop or a 32-inch behemoth of a monitor, the space from top to bottom of your computer is more precious than the space from left to right.

Felt a little cherry-picked to me, here’s a map to judge for yourself

This looks fantastic! Great work.

I believe it’s an instant sex change pill. The guy in the first panel is changed into a woman in the second panel, as a prank by the friends.

The gulls were substantially less likely to approach or peck at boxes that had googly eyes attached to them

The article did reference the Signal chat leak. It’s also worth noting that Signal is secure, its just also available to the public and not designed for officials only. Cryptography is useless if the device itself is compromised or if someone is added to a chat. I assume they’re making people use an internal system that only officials have accounts on. That way you can accidentally add a journalist or impersonator to the chat.

While Signal is still considered one of the most secure options, security ends when the end device itself is compromised. If an attacker gains control of the smartphone, even the best end-to-end encryption is of little use: chats and images can then be read directly on the device. However, Herpig emphasizes that there are currently few better alternatives to encrypted messengers like Signal or Threema.

I’d be interested in seeing different meats compared

If you take nothing else from what I’m about to say, take this: you will not cause suicide by asking someone directly if they’re thinking about it.

The mental health world has firmly renounced the idea of not asking someone directly. And I’m hoping to get as many people as possible to understand this and to jettison silence. You might be the lifeline they didn’t know they were allowed to grab.

It isn’t a law, it’s good communal parenting.

Parents in Greystones chose to delay smartphone access until their children reached the age of 12 as a result of the town-wide agreement. Capatina praised the simplicity and effectiveness of the initiative: “It has completely solved the problem.”

The code’s voluntary nature hasn’t diminished its impact. Despite some opting out, sufficient participation has developed a norm in which being phone-free is accepted. Contrary to misconceptions, Harper clarified their stance: “We’re not against technology…just asking them to wait till secondary school.”

I do this all the time. The great thing is that you get your edits first, meaning you don’t have to wait for them to be public before using them.

I agree with this, but the biggest benefit to me is that it’s (a) open source and auditable, (b) self-hostable to owning my data, and © has a cheap hosted plan so I can choose to not handle my own major security. For meeting all of my highest personal priorities I’m willing to put up with some clunkiness. But, man, I would love the friendliness I hear about from the likes of 1password!
