this really depends on what kind of size you trade and how you execute. Binance futures (their btc/usdt perp) is most likely cheaper if you look at take fee + spread + slippage. Their default taker fee is 4bps (or 3.6 bps if you pay it in BNB). That means you can slip $4 (with BTC at 10k) and pay the same for your exec - but with most sizes you don't slip that much, if you trade small binance is most often better (spread + slippage wise) since the tick size (minimum spread) is 0.01bps instead of 0.5bps. And on top of that you get a massive fee discount.

It's odd, isn't it, many US posters here seem to think prediction markets are new and exciting, yet seem unaware of non-US sites like that Betfair, which has been hosting real-money betting markets on politics for well over a decade. Their 'next US president' market already has over £100 million matched.

(And Mike Pence betting on a 999/1 -> 39/1 plunge, presumably an over-reaction to the COVID news prior to the market being suspended!)

It's important to highlight that the more significant variable here is probably the quality/prestige of universities within the U.S., which in turn then attracts the best talent and students around the world, rather than the other way around.
No monetary solution will work.

In a free market doing something bad for the planet while being able to avoid paying the cost of cleaning up is an advantage. Companies don't move operations to places with less strict emissions rules and fewer labor laws for fun - they do it to increase their profit. As soon as governments start making corporations really pay for carbon it'll give any country that wants to grow its economy a competitive advantage by giving corporations incorporated there a lower rate, or even making it free to pollute entirely.

Unless you can persuade consumers to avoid companies that pollute (virtually impossible because companies will greenwash what they're doing) or unless you can get all the governments on Earth to agree (virtually impossible because governments want to do what's best for them) then there is no answer.

Climate change cannot be stopped while capitalist profit and growth chasing are what drives people to do things.
It is done in every possible way. The dumbest form your defenses will allow in is what you get. Can absolutely be done via downloads yes. Because they perform an impersonation attack on you, or use a supplier as an attack vector, and by impersonating a trusted user, they get you to open a file or similar.

Better finetune your email security, because humans are a hard problem. Loads of awareness, phishing drills and information sec training is needed.
KYC/AML is a nonsense for virtual-currency exchange, it is nominal and trifling irritation for the end user, since you can use simply use another persons "verified" account as a proxy-account for your trades as I expect many do for the purposes of privacy.
Have lived in the Midwest. Compared to Cali:

Beef was cheaper. Chicken and pork were same as Cali. Produce was a lot more expensive; regular produce cost the same as organic produce in Cali, and the quality dropped off a cliff in the winter.

Gasoline was cheaper, but the only utility that was cheaper was water. Internet was more expensive. Electricity and (natural) gas was significantly more expensive, because A/C was a must in the summer and heating was a must in the winter.

Car maintenance was much more expensive, since the salt they use to melt the snow is corrosive. House maintenance was more expensive, because the humidity year-round meant increased mold growth.

In order to get cheaper than LA/SF, you had to move to a small town...but you can do the same thing in Cali too; such as by moving to San Bernardino or Sacramento, and you end up with a much higher quality of life than a small town in the Midwest.
They basically did a computerized quiz? While I might agree with conclusions I might suspect the methodology.
AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud
Today, we are talking about cloud computing. Let's review Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud, the leaders of the market.
Although Amazon holds the leadership on the market, we think it’s not always the best choice – not for everyone, anyway.
However, AWS is a go-to Cloud infrastructure for enterprises. Its resources are responsible for processing multiple real-time requests, handling fluctuating user loads, and scaling to different geographical markets. Used by Facebook, Netflix, LinkedIn, Baidu. Meantime, Microsoft Azure specializes in supporting software as a service, retail businesses, and IoT.
The infrastructure has multiple tools for creating, managing, and setting up sensors. Used by Asos, HP, BMW.
Google Cloud stands out with its program for startups that can get a special offer for using GoogleCloud infrastructure. Used by PayPal, eBay, Colgate-Palmolive, LG CNS.
Agreed that VCs pass on way more good companies than they invest in. But if a VC invests in .5% of companies they look at, and there are 3 great companies in that .5% and 15 great companies in the other 99.5%, that suggests the VC's ranking is pretty good on a relative basis.

In the US I definitely think that is the case. The rich have a lot of money they don’t know what to do with because there’s no use to invest in new production when the rest of the population have no money to spend. So the interests stays low and the stock market skyrocket while everyone outside the top percentage just gets poorer.

Interesting! And yes, really puts the "no time like right now" into perspective.

Though I suppose there is some selection bias too: if you can run for presidency at 74/77 etc. you must be fitter than the average person your age; be it because of better health, better genes, or easier life hitherto, or something else still. So your odds of making it are probably better too.

Most people that age I know wouldn't be able to keep up with the electoral calendar pace.

Do NOT auto-include closed PRs.

Let maintainers choose to add a hacktoberfest label to contributions they think are worth rewarding, if they want to opt-in and they like that particular contribution.

Didn't watch the video, but my personal feeling is that it is never too late--but people won't like the solution. We either do a voluntary contraction, the most humane way being to simply stop reproducing (not entirely, but drastically), and for those that remain, to live simply, with fewer things, traveling far less. Essentially, we would move toward an agrarian economy (plus internet). No more suburbs. Cities would change drastically in the US (perhaps not so much in Europe).

Another option is an involuntary contraction caused by the effects of climate change, as fresh water supplies dwindle, soil erodes, and ecological collapse causes famine, war, and death. We are, say, 5% along this path.

In the worst case, technology can surely sustain at least a small human population indefinitely, even on a decimated planet Earth - dome living, and so forth. You know, the kinds of things we once imagined for settling distant planets. With any luck they will be scientists and engineers, working diligently to find a path back to our historical equilibrium that supported so much diverse life for so long. But that seems desperate, and hopeless, since achieving breakthroughs seems to require a certain population density and technology level.

What is striking to me is how reckless Americans are in consumption. Having lived in Germany a few years, I'm struck by how much more efficient and frugal life is there. Public transportation is easy and ubiquitous, healthcare is rational, simple, cheap, yet of high quality. "Stuff" is certainly more expensive, and you have fewer readily available options. People repair rather than replace. Many don't own a car. America could at least aim for something like that as part of a "voluntary contraction"! But I think we will continue to live recklessly, stuffing our bodies and homes and minds with junk until we die, bloated in every possible way, wondering why the world hates us for being free.
Maybe watch a video about the process on Youtube? What you're saying is correct in a very abstract sense, but does not really convey what is actually happening inside the cell. Timing is extremely important because if the proteins worked out of order (which is often different based on signals), wrong DNA would come out. Also, other systems inside and outside the cell have influence on the replication (you don't always replicate the whole DNA, sometimes it's necessary to not finish the whole process and do something else as the last step, etc). And replication is not stable at all, btw, but there is very good error handling. And don't get me started on DNA activation.

Cells literally have a clock pathway.

It is a fair question because the number of domain names grew to 326 mil while the maintenance costs it probably way less than $1/domain. And it is definitely not a price set by "market and demand" but rather a monopoly. And tell to people of some 3rd world country that $10 is reasonable.

> But for imperfect VCs, it might be worth it to invest in 50 just to approach 100% chance of capturing these 5 top performers, the 45 others are just the cost of doing that.

Yep! This is exactly how most funds operate. They invest in 30 or 40 companies over 3-4 years with the hope that 30-40 is enough to hit 1-2 big winners. The more confident a VC is in their picking skills, the more likely they are to invest in 15 or 25 companies in a fund, instead of 30+.

One of those incessant and negative voices here: If Mozilla really cared about their mission they would place Firefox under completely different management and separate the two entities entirely financially so that no money can flow between Firefox Inc. and Mozilla the org.

Then and only then will I donate - to Firefox Inc.

The coordination is provided by Mozilla, not by us, the people who helped promote Firefox (and Netscape before it) and who feel that if Firefox ends up by the wayside while Mozilla continues to exist that it was all for nothing.

Firefox has been slowly but surely getting behind Chrome in many ways while all kinds of distractions have eaten up time, money and human resources that could have been spent on keeping FF alive and relevant. The long term path is clear, and something needs to change to avoid that.

A response to legal attacks, justified or not, is that a lot of places with $$$ to fund the GPL work ban GPL as an existential threat, and fund work under more liberal licences.

That shouldn't be a valid get-out for people ignoring the licence terms. But it is the reality and has to be part of the argument / strategy. That's aside from any consideration about the form of the particular legal attacks you refer to.

Seems hardly relevant here but political reporters are using the execution of the tax money burning ritual as a sign that POTUS might actually have Covid.

The article's premise is spot-on about mixed-race Britons playing a role in finding our way through the mess that we've made of identity politics but preciously for the opposite reason that they seem to suggest.

> Yet much of the focus on symbolic and systemic racism overlooks the growing significance of mixed-race Britons, who often defy labels. The attitudes of this group will be crucial in determining the future direction of identity politics.

Mixed-race Britons don't exist as a cohesive group of people that share a single identity and world view. Perhaps there are clusters of communities that share similar characteristics but being mixed-race can mean having any number of different cultural heritages. Presenting them as one group who's views sit on a scale between Black and White is almost comically presumptive of the idea that there is a common identity here in the first place.

While there isn't necessarily a common identity, there is a shared experience of being mixed-race. It's the experience of being between two cultures and therefore growing up with a strong and consistent awareness of the role our culture plays in shaping who we are. Not only that, growing up as a mixed-race person often also comes with the demand from others that you pick-sides (sometimes literally like Mr. Rees experience during the race riots).

This constant pressure to understand who you are in relation to who others are is the root problem that identity politics brings up. Forcing others to categorize the world in the same way you do is the root problem on everyone's mind. The reason this often results in polemical debate is because the different camps feel threatened by the other in how forceful the others are in pushing their own world-views at the potential expense of their own.

Identity politics asks us to pick a side and it seems tempting to actually do just that. I think the experiences of mixed-race people help us to understand what it can mean to have an single identity shaped by very different and contrasting world-views. Mixed-race people live with the same kinds of tensions that society as a whole needs to learn to live with.

To live with tensions means to accept that there is a difference. We desperately need to defuses the threat of one view annihilating the other. This gives room for meaningful discussion and debate about the relative influence and forcefulness of individual world-views. It depolarizes the extremes and helps us establish a new common identity that gives room for both world-views to coexist.

I hope the shared experiences of mixed-race people (and 2nd generation migrants for that matter) will go some way to helping us all learn to coexist in an otherwise increasingly fragmented world. They hold answers not because there are a growing demographic of moderates but because they have lived experience of holding together the tensions that come from different ways of seeing the world.

Consumption isn't bad, carbon is bad. All the modern conveniences can be produced by low-carbon technology or offset by direct air capture, and for relatively low cost. An anti-growth mindset is religious thinking.

Good returns can come both from consensus and nonconsensus companies. For example, Robinhood has publicly spoken about the large number of investors that passed on their seed round, while Flexport has been inundated with interest during every funding round.

One big constraint on the # of investments per year for a fund is the amount of time that the fund's partners have. Investors want to differentiate themselves with the help they can provide, and help takes time. As a result, a Series A investor/board member can manage 1-2 new investments per year, while a seed investor might be able to manage 3-8 new investments per year. So # of partners * ~5 investments per year is a good estimate of how many investments a hands on seed fund will do.

There are funds that invest in a lot more companies, but they tend to write small checks and are less hands on.
Don’t forget owning a house the “cost” is mortgage INTEREST, property tax, and insurance premiums for owning.

With interest rates at 3%, property tax fixed to track inflation for life thnx to prop 13, and California home insurance stupidly low (50$/month for 1+ million house). It’s not that bad.

I did the math and owning is cheaper than renting in just a few years.

Well, it is pretty doom and gloom if you look at the numbers for the Arctic region and realize that we are on the trail that was considered the worst case scenario. Climate Change (at that time natural, less abrupt) contributed to the end of the Roman Empire, and while few of mankind may survive, billions are unlikely to.

Not changing behaviors and just hoping for magical, unproven technology is plain stupid in my view. We are going to need that investment in technology, but it‘s not the magic solution. Many ecosystems aren’t even fully understood, so we can’t really tell what will result of their imminent collapse.
