I'm still trying to locate the iteration that bugged me, but from what I can see of their new-new-new offices, they seem to be more in keeping with the style I talk about above:

... except that there is so little workspace that I had to stare at the picture for about fifteen seconds to figure out if they did, in fact, have any employees at all.
>So on both sides of the equation, you have this liquidity risk that doesn't really need to exist.

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on this. It's apparently big problem with the Maker protocol, and seems to be an inherent issue with the use of a perpetual (afaik we're seeing the price of DAI spike as a consequence), but I'm not aware of a simple fix.
That's only 1.9% interest. Are you really paying that little?
When I saw drops on Mondays, I initially thought it was due to a year-on-year weekday mismatch, but the analysis is sound

> For year-on-year comparisons by day, we compare to the same day of week from the same week in the previous year. For example, we'd compare Tuesday of week 11 in 2020 to Tuesday of week 11 in 2019.

Interesting that most have a double dip, with a big drop on 3/2 and then again on 3/9 which is ongoing

This comes up all the time on HN and I’m always shocked[1] at how controversial an idea it is that the developer is responsible for knowing what they are shipping in their dependencies. “Oh, woe, how can you audit all of your dependencies and their dependencies and know what’s in them?? Oh it’s impossible! There is no way to solve this!”

Too few devs are really careful about their dependencies and do good due diligence when evaluating them for suitability. Everyone else is just “Hey our problem is solved by this one. YOLO! Link it and ship it LOL!” I’ve seen projects that link and ship binary dependencies without even being able to inspect the source. This is, to me, totally insane. But standard practice in a lot of places!

The 10th Amendment specifically limits the federal government’s power.
Probably the fever dream of many Oligarchs. :P But in all seriousness:

I think the term "microgrid" started out because that's exactly what they were... small grids in places like islands or rural areas.

We learned a lot about how to make a sustainable grid in this contexts, and so the term sticks a bit, even as we start talking about macro-scale microgrids, or just decentralized generation. Especially because the "micro" element of these new grids plays a much larger role.

Also... regulations, protocols and standards are a form of centralization, which will all play a large role in these "smart" grids.

I don't have a "side". On one hand, I was born in mainland China. On the other hand, my parents were almost gunned down at Tiananmen square. We came to America to try to leave that behind, and yet still the senators presume I'm a CCP agent! All it took was the wrong kind of name and face.

I could go on with more of my sob stories, but I can tell you won't take bullshit. The point is: I don't know or care about the geopolitics of the South China Sea. All I know is, when xenophobia rises in the US, the CCP is not actually going to be hurt one bit. The only people that will be targeted will be us.

Bulky non-perishable packaged manufactured goods are not shipped by air! It would add quite a bit to the cost of this gesture to rent out three 747s for shipping it.

This is pointless. If the fastest shipping method available took a month, you'd be imagining crafty sick Chinese people stowed away, breathing on the masks for the entire journey. You have a sickness, but it may not be COVID-19...

Appalling. That’s so funny. The morbidity rate is far less than 3%. Most people who get it probably don’t even realize they have it which makes the numbers look worse than they are. Look I’m not saying nothing should be done. If nothing were done the. We might see something that vaguely resembles what you are describing. If people wouldn’t panic and if antibiotics were prescribed remotely and if people did a few basic things like wash their hands and stay at home if they have a preexisting medical condition, then basically nothing would happen. The only one we don’t have is a lack of panic. People are trying to see their doctors and get tests while they have no symptoms. I’m sorry man but you’re wrong this time.
I really don’t think you understand how government works: the media is run by private industry and doesn’t have power to give the pentagon anything. They also don’t run Gitmo, they don’t fight wars, etc...

Yes, the American media isn’t perfect, but deriding it as “fake news” while CCTV a somehow put on a pedestal just seems really wrong. The fact is that it is at least independent of the government and doesn’t have to act in the interest in the ruling executive (and in fact, depending on who is president, there will always be plenty of media that isn’t friendly to their agenda).

The first thing authoritarians do when they gain power is to try and delegitimize the free press so they can get rid of it. That is exactly wha it is going on now, and whenever someone uses the term MSM, that is what I know their agenda is.
It seems to me that if the federal government requests this, states will follow. Hell, who wants to be the governor that said no if Trump suggests you suspend evictions.

But low interest rates also allow more leverage to be brought to bear in a bidding war...ultimately causing housing prices to rise. There is no free lunch.
Quite the opposite actually. At least to me it means that institutions actually have been holding crypto reserves, which I'd say gives it a fair amount of legitimacy.

Crypto didn't sell off in a vacuum this time, it sold off with the market at a time when it should be selling off.

I know what you're thinking, but that's not the case. Right now, same as in 2008, institutions are liquidating "store of value" assets to open up more liquidity. That $1.5T in fed repo? Well the fed doesn't take BTC as collateral. And since they don't nobody else is right now. Same with gold. Cash and T-bills are king, so liquidate everything else.

Really this shows that crypto is at least starting to be folded into the main financial world. It actually for once has some degree of beta.

TL;DR: This is good for bitcoin.

I’m convinced this is a result of typing on a keyboard - it seldom happens when I’m writing.

I think that after a typing for a while, your brain tries to introduce some optimization, i.e. while your one finger goes for the letter ‘t’ (my left hand), your brain queues up the letter ‘h’ for another finger on your other hand. Quite often, and possibly because I’m right hand dominant, the hand going for the letter ‘h’ gets there first. It usually happens with the same pairs of letters.

It would not surprise me if keyboards have introduced whole new kinds of dyslexia.

I have noticed this has crept into my writing occasionally - if I have been typing a lot - usually with the same pairs of letters. I will write the second one first, and then go back and insert the first one.

I've only responded once so I don't know how you figure I missed the point twice.

> It’s the lack of trust that is the issue here that leads to that assumption.

The top poster made a claim of fact, that anti-misinformation rules were used as a front to silence criticism. Whether that fact is true or not is the point I'm interested in. I get that you're interested in something else, but I'm not. You get to be interested in what you want, but you don't get to claim that the top poster said something other than what they did.

> The lack of trust is the fault of the moderator not of the GP.

Big assumption. If the moderator has acted in good faith and whatshisface still doesn't trust them, that may say more about whatshisface than the moderator.

All of these other countries, including my own, had the opportunity to see what China was dealing with and to act quickly and decisively to prevent having to suffer the same pain. Instead, we sat on our thumbs for a month trusting I don't know what, destiny? Moral superiority? To protect us. And now we will pay the price.

Nobody with any power to censure China is able to point fingers, since these politicians and leaders have failed to protect their own people at least as much as China failed to contain the virus, and with less excuse. Also, practically speaking, there is just no mechanism to enforce any kind of sanction on China for this.
Even the 10-20 minutes of reading he suggests would be worse as TV. What a medium like video brings to the table over text with the occasional diagram is new ways to not necessarily convey purely factual information, but to convey emotion.

They hype you up, yell, state everything in a super serious energised manner that I wouldn't consider appropriate unless I was trying to convince someone to either join me in a riot or a suicide. And that's just when I hear it on when I visit my mother and the biggest news story is some dodgy trady scandal. I imagine everyone involved in the entire predatory fear mongering tv news industry is currently salivating non-stop at the thought of the distress they can cause with a genuine pandemic.

Despite the popular belief, game developers are pretty well paid. Not every indie or QA contractor, of course, but it's a rich industry with 6 figure salaries and profit sharing/royalty bonuses in successful studios. So, of course, any union would love to represent game developers for a share of their income. Likewise, you don't often hear of, say, restaurant workers needing union representation because they do not make much money and rarely interest unions. This is what's driving calls for unionization IMHO.

And I agree with manfredo, I started in the industry in 90s, and crunch was already there. If anything, the situation improved in mid 00s, with CA strengthening exempt employees classification and later 00s with ea_spouse lawsuit. E.g. mandatory crunches are gone, it used to be that people were forced to stay late and come in on weekends even if they had nothing to do but good luck pulling this now. Nowadays people mostly crunch either because their bonus comes out of the game's sales (and/or metacritic score, like in EA) or because they are paid OT.
Animal food markets in China (and nearby in SE Asia) are unlikely to be shut down. They are regional phenomena. I guess they accept that risk. What will keep them from fathering pandemics?

The ships plying global sea trade started spreading plague epidemics no later than the 1500s. (Not to mention colonization, or Columbus.) War made the so-called Spanish flu widespread. We're not sure yet whether that one started in Kansas.

Both moved a lot slower than today's airplanes. They've become the disease's vector of choice ... and hugely bear the responsibility for accelerating regional epidemics into global ones.

If I stake $2000 of Ethereum, and in return get $1500 in a stablecoin, when my $2000 in collateral gets liquidated I still have 75% of that in the loan I took out and can walk away.

As a pain specialist, I ask you to strongly incorporate one more element:

DC, simple and easy. AC, complex and scalable...

Except, my surface level (pun intended) understanding of this, is that it's actually not that simple. AC may have been easier to deal with at high voltages (and thus long distances) at one point, but due to the skin effect and RMS power not determining the safe tolerances for transmission lines (I think this is true), there are some issues with this approach.

Nowadays, it's possible to build safe HVDC systems, I think partially due to the existence of HVDC breakers.

That said, you lose a channel of communication assuming your power is DC, and that signal is used in AC to help shape the generation / switching / etc. We could always try superimposing signals on DC power lines, but I digress.
