My answer: It will still be alive, but in name only. Kind of the way the telephone system (ATM, SONET, SDH) is still alive. It's there, but it's not how data is actually moved anymore.

I expect that USD vs. $currency forex markets will still be present, and people will still look to them, but large transactions will almost universally be settled using an agreeable mixture of commodity futures, gold certificates, equities, and crypto.

The *major* change will be that the US will not be able to borrow meaningful amounts of money from the FED anymore without panicking markets, so government spending will be massively curtailed.

By the year 2060:

1. Bretton Woods system with USD reserve currency is dead, because you just cannot print infinity dollars without collapsing the system.

2. System is - despite all odds - still alive, because it lives on debt, and nobody wants to borrow money that is going to *increase* in value.

What say ye?

I'm interested in book suggestions for the new year. (Fiction & nonfiction!)
What's something that you would save if all other writing was to be lost to time?
What's something new that you think really stands out?
What series you would love to read all over again with a fresh look?

Damn, MattKC doing God's work and making an application that turns a Linux install into a Wii U gamepad. Super important actually, because Wii Us NEED that Gamepad to function and they are A) region locked and B) no longer repaired by Nintendo. This is extremely good for ensuring the console doesn't become little more than a paper weight.

I find it strange that the game awards doesn't even wait until the year is over to put out awards, the Oscars wait until March of the next year and the Emmys until January. Guess they aren't willing to prepare for any Christmas suprises

Not celebrating any holidays has been the most liberating decision I have ever made. I get to spend time with myself and focus on self-improvement while everyone else just watches movies together.

A scientist is one who observes a Chess tournament, and thereby figures out the rules of the game.

An engineer is one who, based on the rules of the game, figures out how to win it.

They are not the same.
