But if the company is losing money, there are no economic gains; there are economic losses. Who is taking the losses?
Please educate yourself.

The anonymity set of tornado cant be that good can it? With all these major hacks dumping their eth into it.
While Samsung's culture could be considered toxic, blaming their recent issues on culture would need more backing. Samsung has seen good growth and has been one of the top semiconductor companies for the past decade. It's not like their culture drastically changed in the recent years. It's the same "toxic" culture that got them here and blaming the culture for their recent hiccups just seem like a sensationalist writing.
An interesting perspective, but I think the key difference is that Uber has built no lasting infrastructure. I do agree that Uber has improved the taxi/private vehicle transport industry in essentially every market it entered. In London (UK) for example, taxis were previously mainly used by tourists, the rich, or the very drunk. Uber changed this completely, making it accessible for many more people.

If Uber disappears I’m not sure what a follow-up company can build on top of? The only lasting impact I can see is that Uber popularised “gig work” so that future companies and even Lyft, DoorDash, etc. had an easier time to roll out the same model.
Just upgraded my side project to both Django 3.2 and Tailwind 2.1 (with Jit enabled). No issues at all, other than some deprecation warnings on some 3rd party packages that will probably be fixed soon.
iOS browsers are miles behind. Sorry.
I remember it differently here in the Netherlands. While the Dutch CDC was actively downplaying the severity and risk of the virus in Februari, plane-loads of masks and other protective equipment were shipped to China. Many Asians were actively hoarding masks in retail to have them sent to family members as well.

When the RIVM heard of these actions in February, they downplayed the effectivity of masks. Only in March and April, when the crisis hit us (unprepared), reasons had to be given why our supplies of masks were depleted. This is when the media started spinning the story that mask wearing causes increased touching of the face. There is no scientific basis for that claim.
I disagree with this assertion that "VMs will always be more secure". Of course, they bring an extra layer (or rather, a layer of different nature).

But check the number of Xen vulnerabilities (I kept up with those for a while because I still run a Xen cluster): they are very real. And keep in mind that Xen (at least in my case!) doesn't bring an extra layer of security: if you are (e.g.) an IAAS provider using Xen to sell VMs, your customers can run anything they like in their VMs, and Xen will be the only layer. Your hypervisor will be "on the front line" if you see what I mean.

I would actually argue quite the contrary. I.E.: exploits affecting containers are likely to be exploits affecting all Linux systems, meaning that they will draw much more attention and scrutiny than exploits affecting hypervisors, and they are likely to be fixed faster.
Why isn't it regulated in the US? In India everybody gets a chance to buy in IPOs, it's randomly assigned regardless of how much you applied for. Promoters and institutional investors are even supposed to hold it for 9 months before they can sell it in the market.
There are ways of earning money that don't involve holding down a 9-5 job. Running your own business. Freelancing. Working for Uber. And so on.

All of the "responsibilities" you list are things you take upon yourself. You do not have to have kids. You do not have to take care of your parents. If you do not do so, you are not arrested and dragged to a cubicle until you do. You are afforded agency. And you might find that, in fact, the vast majority of our societal systems are optional.
They are still in their early stage, but for smaller traders (if it wasn't for fees on ETH, but e.g. on BSC) it's already worth it more than normal Coinbase (3% + deposit/withdraw fees) or low-volume Coinbase Pro (0.5%). Of course, Binance gives you 0.075-0.1% which they don't beat.

The bigger benefit for the time being is that it allows you to trade pairs that aren't even yet on exchanges (Coinbase is famously slow to add anything, and still doesn't even have multiple top 10 projects). There is also nothing stopping DEXs from partially lowering the fees in the future as the technology stabilizes.

Of course, I don't expect them to eat all of CEX's business but an increasing portion of it and it is a pretty significant disruption.
But this is like saying email lost its unique selling proposition after Yahoo web Mail came along. Email was always useful and is still useful. Coinbase is like the first Webmail. Maybe it turns out most people like managing their Bitcoin through an app and not running a node 24/7 in the same way that most people are ok using an app for email even though it is still technically possible for anyone to run their own mail server.
I think a better idea would be to accept there is no particular purpose, more about doing something random, that perhaps you think you'll feel better for after, and seeing what happens. Embrace the chaos!

OP here. You would need some hardware components to run a 5G stack, starting from servers to software-defined radios. Another challenge may be linked to spectrum licenses, unless you transmit/receive in unlicensed bands.
I don't think so, I think that most incarnations of capitalism haven't existed in a non-corrupt environment... In fact, I'd say that capitalism helps weed out corruption since the more corrupt states are less effective.

Also, it depends on the timeframe perspective - pure capitalism may allow someone to corner a market for a short time, but over a long period is more stable. Whereas a lot of solutions may in the short term prevent bad situations in the long term the system becomes corrupt and injustice will increase.
Maybe Google doesn't actually use "rel=nofollow" the way they say they do.
If you're interested, there are a whole host of fun and useful machine learning techniques that are actually not as hard to understand and apply as they sound. The best introductory book that I know of is Programming Collective Intelligence, which is surprisingly clear, if a little vague on the theory:

http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321

Naive Bayesian classifiers are just one of the more popular types; others include Support Vector Machines (SVMs), decision trees (and their relatives, random forests), and a bunch more. If you'd like to play around with some, Weka is good open source software for this:

I feel like people who use such a light weight for body text care more about the chunk of text "looking good" instead of actually being, you know, readable. Especially on a dull yellow.

Hardly a good attitude for a blog.
"If you don't want someone to kill you for something you're doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it."
it's impossible to time the market, so instead you use dollar cost averaging to invest at a constant rate, regardless of how things are in the market. put money in both when it's expensive and cheap to do so.
Well stated. The US can learn from Germany though. A mild midcourse correction could help.

The US needs to emphasize the value of all stakeholders. With this, the US will have greater growth over the longterm. Its the stable growth economies that grow and prosper over the boom-and-bust economies.
true, you get this advice everywhere. but actually implementing it for realz isn't for the faint of heart. it's not impossible either, especially if you don't mind horseshoes-and-hand-grenades approximation.
