mntmnex-parrot: we had a delay shipping the last 20 EU reforms. they're all tested but currently being packaged. the delay was due to my coworker having to move after berlin mietendeckel collapse.11:54
KoodaDamn, that sucks :/11:58
KoodaHope they are fine :)11:58
mntmnnow yes. but it was a very stressful week.12:03
KoodaYes, I can imagine :/12:03

mntmngrimler32: i don't think traveling back in time is possible because it creates all sort of paradoxes, so i think you can only go to the future (with cryotechnology or something)20:14

mtmah, but what if time is a persistent datatype: going back and "modifying" things just sets up a new branch on the trie and bifurcates the timeline at that point20:35
mtmwhich also would mean the results of timetravel would not be observable to anyone outside the traveler20:42

mntmnmtm: but bifurcating the whole universe sounds very expensive in terms of energy ;)21:22
mntmnmtm: also if you could go back it means that every past state of the universe still has to exist, or you could not go back to it with your time machine21:23
mntmnmtm: i'm not sure entropy works that way...21:24
mntmnso, you would need 2 hypothetical things to exist: 1. the universe keeping a record of all of its past contents and 2. the possibility to tunnel to one of the past states and from there branch off a new reality21:26
mntmnboth of these feel incredibly expensive21:26
mntmni think it's much more realistic to create a satisfying simulation of time travel for yourself21:27
mntmnusing some kind of virtual reality that is so good that you won't notice it's not real time travel21:27
mntmncomputer games :321:28
mtmmntmn: yeah, relying on some faulty logic holding onto a head and preventing the great cosmic GC from reaping the past seems overly optimistic21:28
mntmnyeah21:28
mntmnand creating some sort of matrix that will fool you into having travelled in time is like infinitely more plausible to happen21:29
mtmT21:29
mtmthe whole notion of "past" and "future" are just conviences anyway, there is only "now"21:31
mntmnagreed21:31
mntmnthe past is only there because you have a memory in your brain21:31
mntmnOTOH without any kind of short term memory you could not even perceive motion21:33
mtmyep, and evertime you remember something you're really remembering rmembering it (aside from the first time)21:33
mntmnh!21:33
mntmnha!, i mean21:33
mtmno good error correction either, faulty memories become truth: I've had that experience a few times where I was certain in my memory but something proved me wrong. The mind made it real21:35
mtmanyway, back to coding... :-)21:36
mntmn^^ i wrote the crowd supply may shipping update in the meantime, but i don't think it will go online before tomorrow.21:39
mntmnit basically says that we will directly ship non-EU backer laptops ourselves. this means you will get the devices faster, but the downside for US backers is they might have to pay import VAT21:39
mntmni don't know how it would have been otherwise though... would CS just swallow the VAT, not sure21:40
mtmoh, not from Crowd Supply?21:40
mntmnah i guess they would get them back as a company21:40
mntmnbut then, there would be sales tax or something21:40
mntmnso i'm not sure how it works21:40
mntmnmtm: yes, we will ship all orders that were made before june 18th21:41
mntmnbut the regular crowd supply sales from after the original campaign will still be fulfilled through crowd supply.21:41
mtmfor the USA normally there is no state sales tax unless you have a physical presense in the state, so you should be good21:42
mntmnah i see... but you still have VAT, no?21:42
mtmnope21:42
mntmnlike, if you buy something from another US state, is there no VAT?21:42
mtmcorrect21:42
mntmncrazy21:42
mntmnin the EU, this is very different then21:42
mtmindeed21:42
mntmnthat's kind of mind-blowing21:43
mtmused to live near Zurich, pretty familiar with VAT21:43
mntmnif i sell something here i have to include 19% vat in the price21:43
mntmneven if online21:43
mtmfolks from Germany would cross the border for cheap gas and the Swiss would do the opposite for cheap groceries21:44
mntmnhuh.21:44
mtmthis was in 2000 though no idea what its like now21:45
mtmbut, yeah, no VAT in the states, just individual state sales taxes (and sometimes even more local sales taxes)21:46
mtmmy order was in March this year so I'll be in the CS group21:48
mntmnok, i see!21:48
jackhillI just checked my Crowd Supply order, and I didn't pay any tax. Crowd Supply did collect tax on my Ten64 order.21:55
jackhillI was under (the perhaps mistaken assumption) that there wasn't any VAT on goods exported from the EU (presumably to encurage an influx of foreign currency or something).21:56
mtmmy guess is that Oregon residents will have to pay sales tax21:56
jackhillno dubt the USA tax system (like most things here) is pretty messed up.21:56
mtmCS is based there21:57
jackhillI find it odd that my two orders with the same shipping address have different taxes applied.21:57
jackhillI think some states may even try to charge for out of state purchases by in-state residents. The Byzantine tax structure is one of the things that makes running independent eshops difficult and cements the power of the large players (because they have teams people to follow tax law in each jurisdiction)21:59
jackhillAs an extra twist, on my North Carolina income tax, I can claim as a deduction sales tax I paid to other states. I beleive there is a standard deduction if I don't have records.22:00
