Yes, people do invest in USD. I looked up a random dollar fund (BB Cambial Dólar LP Mil), and its total return over the last 5 years was 73.92%. That's AFAIK significantly more than the accumulated inflation in the same period.
I enjoy the food at BWW but the logistics of how orders are handled has resulted in noticeably slower / common missed items in service. This has led me to go less often. I'm not exactly sure what's going on between the order taken and what comes out but some days it takes over an hour even when the place isn't busy.

But seriously, it's a bit of a catch-22; engaging in privacy preserving behaviour but later falling under suspicion of some illegal act shouldn't imply that you engaged in those behaviours for the intent of covering up suspected but not proven illegal acts. It's a real issue -- but it someone were so stupid as to say "haha, I did x so you couldn't prove it!" ... well, that's basically an admission of guilt, isn't it.

There can also be a very long lag between initial research and industrialization. PERC cell technology for high efficiency solar has been growing rapidly to multiple gigawatts of manufacturing capacity over the past couple of years. It's expected to account for over half of all monocrystalline cell manufacturing within the next few years.

10 years ago PERC cells weren't available on an industrial scale, even though the technological basics were discovered, explored at the lab scale, and published in the 1980s. It took a lot of manufacturing advances and market evolution before PERC technology was both practical and profitable to manufacture for large scale use.

Likewise, I expect that some battery ideas that are published and "go nowhere" will eventually reach industrial scale, but only much later.
Yesterday I was going to reply to your other message in this thread, but I decided to let it go. However, your "it's beyond reasonable to expect" phrasing has piqued the issue once again.

You work in marketing. I do not, but I assume that marketing folks view communication as a good thing. After all, your job is to present your company's message and get responses from potential customers. Communication equals success. Thus, it makes complete sense to you that that customer service would be a catch-all for any incoming communication.

Consider instead someone who works in legal. For them, in almost all cases like this one, avoiding communication is a victory. Status quo is preserved if people go away, and ignoring people often makes them go away. That department absolutely does not want to ensure that customer service faithfully passes on all relevant communication. The more CS is a black hole, the better.

You need to distinguish between these two types of inbound communication. You repeatedly make statements like "it's beyond reasonable to expect," "If your customer service can't figure out how to escalate legal issues, that sounds like the fault of the company," and "Someone trying to contact the organization should not have to divine the nature of the beast." These statements might make sense in the context of a potential customer communication where both sides want to make a deal. But they sound clueless, entitled, and whiny in the context of an inbound communication from a non-customer and potential litigant like OP. Do you think Netflix cares that they didn't make it beautiful and seamless for randos to obtain compensation for copyright infringement? And do you think they care that you're so very disappointed in them?

It's odd to be frustrated at a company for avoiding or delaying the rents and friction of running a company. That's what they're supposed to do. In fact, a shareholder would be frustrated at a company that didn't do this. I doubt you're interested in taking advice from me, but since this frustration is a running theme in your posts, and because most people want less frustration in their lives, you might consider a more nuanced expectation about how companies should behave -- especially when your current expectation leads you to make irrational and self-defeating choices like contacting customer support instead of legal for a legal matter.

I'm debating the merits of this right now. For the moment, I'm not charging for my beta. I have received some good feedback so far, but people haven't been as active using it as I would like.

I'm wondering whether it would be better to find a smaller number of people willing to pay for the product and really tailor the experience to them.

in employment negotations, the only time you should start signing anything is when you have a job offer letter in hand with the salary you want, and the name of your manager, both in writing on that letter.

(rare exception: sometimes you might get asked to sign an NDA prior to being brought in for an onsite interview. even then, I would think very very carefully about signing it.)

My two cents: don't put companies on a pedestal -- we are certainly nothing special to them, after all. don't do anything you're not 100% comfortable about.

The "most likely" in that statement is in the sense that you still need to eat, and so if all you've got are assets that are worth 1/100th of what you paid for them, you're probably pretty deeply in debt in the rest of your finances. In the dot-com boom, it wasn't uncommon for people to mortgage their homes to buy stocks, to quit their day jobs to day-trade stocks, or to owe hundreds of thousands in AMT on stocks that were worth less than the tax bill when it came due, all situations that could and did lead to bankruptcy.
Cherry-picking two dates doesn't really tell us much. Volatility year-over year would be useful to see, and, as they say, past performance is not an indicator of future earnings. A decision to invest (or not invest) in gold should be based on your current expectation of the future.

Skin in the game doesn't have to mean money. In an enterprise sales context, for example, if a company is going to commit a lot of employee time to an eval or workshop, that may be sufficient.

Maybe. Or they could just be outliers who happened to be willing to pay for your product early on. You want to be open to customer feedback of course but it's also about your vision for the product.

I think you’re fine, personally — a workload has to have very well defined characteristics to be automatically scalable. Just paying when health checks fail and figuring out how to fix it when there’s a problem is a much better strategy than implementing “scaling automation” that might go awry.
Black Holes may have existed through multiple Big Bangs
37% is not most, though. And the choice is still between two shitty companies, usually. Right now I have either Time Warner, I think Comcast (haven't checked but probably), and Google Fiber. That, to me, is still not ideal. As I said in my previous comment, the ideal would be two additional options for me: a smaller, regional-based ISP, and a municipal ISP. Prior to Google Fiber, there was no fiber at all here. I had to pay Time Warner $90 for 1/10th of what I get with Google right now.

Just two companies is not ideal because, as we have seen before, Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, and Verizon don't compete enough to improve their infrastructure. We've seen that just Google Fiber alone is enough to get the current ISPs to drop their prices, improve speeds, and get Fiber going: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/googl...

But that's not enough. Google Fiber isn't ever going to spread enough to become widely available, and I think they stopped altogether, didn't they?

Maybe if Google Fiber was planning to roll out everywhere in the US, I'd be more okay with letting NN go but at this point, it's too risky IMO.

And I just want to make it clear that the ideal scenario is for competition to determine ISP policies and behavior, not legislation. But we're not getting competition any time soon, so I see legislation as a last resort.

Pretty sure the point was to highlight that people hold faith in the value of USD as a currency in spite of its youth, not to discuss its merits as a long-term investment.

>nobody holds USD because they think the value will go up long term

People can and do implicitly invest in USD. For example, I might use an FX hedge on a foreign investment to protect against foreign currency volatility in favor of exposure to USD because I have more faith in its value during the lifespan of my investment.

>Holding fiat currency means you lose money constantly due to inflation

Sure, but it's also protected against losses in a market downturn. Cash is outperforming if market returns are negative and in excess of inflation loss (which becomes more likely as poor market performance slows inflation). Not arguing that people should hold cash out of fear, but your characterization of cash seems a little simplistic.
