Gold isn't going to save you from a zombie apocalypse, nor can you eat it. It will however transport your wealth from one side of a currency crisis to the other while retaining value - as opposed to plastic notes with arbitrary number

I looked at chocolatey a few years back and decided I didn't like installing anonymously packaged software on my machine. Recently my team started using it for cloud formation app deployment and I see it has reviewed and approved packa

Yikes. You must have missed the large sign in that career off ramp 'wrong way, go back!'!

this is exactly right. It isn't confused as parent says. They are no longer forcing js packages to be bundled into nuget where they tend to grow stale. The nuget angular package was actually maintained by scott hanselman. Why duplicate

It is more about currency deflation rather than price deflation. Without currency inflation the current system collapses. Price inflation is from currency inflation - ie: more $ around today chasing approximately the same number of goods th
