Yeah, I really enjoyed it even though there were some slower parts like the slugs (and I found the Holden character irritating).

Somewhat tangential, it's wild to me that Devs was suggested alongside The Expanse in that Clubhouse Elon chat. I thought Devs was unwatchable. There's a point in the first episode where they're just saying fibonacci out loud to show how 'smart' they are. I looked up some of the plot after that to see what I was missing and it didn't look like it was going to get better.

Do you mean in the sense that content providers want to dictate more than just information delivery to consumers, or something else?
There are some fundamental limits to commitment-focused culture though. People have life obligations. Even if they wanted to work 60 hours a week, their sick mom or their childcare or their kitchen renovation or an especially busy graduation season for nieces and nephews just requires their time, and their knowledge that their job is secure and they won’t be penalized on raises, rewards, etc., for simply having a life.

Because of this, the commitment-focused path just doesn’t work, flat out. At best you can use it briefly to exploit unwitting young people who don’t know their worth and don’t have enough self-confidence to say no, and ride that into a pump and dump IPO situation, after which your company will promptly become process-focused and all the young people will quit and be replaced by mid-career people who don’t mind inheriting the mind-melting tech debt as long as you pay well and only expect 40 hours per week.

Currency?

Money is a lot of things, but one of these things is it is a web of trust.

What a currency needs is a central bank. Historically we have tried a lot of things, and the most stable, reliable, and trustworthy turns out to be fiat currency with a central bank.

The "crypto currency", using blockchains, experiment has been a colossal failure. Trust matters, and it needs a source.
Communism is the ideal that empowered the current government of China. Once the abusive tyrants gained power, the economic model became a secondary issue.

Because the 5% long trips are the only time this matters. For long trips you should stop every hour, for medical reasons. So if we can get enough range that you should stop anyway, and the stop is short, overall it isn't much of a cost. Batteries take too long to charge even at fast charge rates, but if we can do a 5 minute charge to add an hour of range that is enough.

I'm not sure if I believe the above, but it is a good argument.

A chip isn't a complete device. What about the rest of the machinery? The software? Construction of the devices, calibration, testing and commissioning? There are probably less than 10 people worldwide capable of determining if machines like this (that probably only exist within the vaccine manufacturers) are set up correctly and working right.

I suspect if you track down what's needed, you'll find that all the manufacturing capability for making more of those machines is already in use by the vaccine makers. Bespoke microfluidics devices aren't common or easy to make, although some components are.

The whole argument for Apple to charge 30% was that they are doing "curation" and "Guards" against malware in their App Store. And not for "Access".

As a developer you have a relationship with Apple, but not with your user. Since Apple is sitting in between both parties as middleman. Apple refund any purchase without first asking the Developers and this mechanism has been abused quote a lot in Gaming.

And because of that Apple has a duty to sort these IP, copyright, scam out. Right now Apple is refusing to do anything and suggest it is not their problem. ( Until the press start running stories on it )

If you can't trust the government then what are the chances they'll buy into using a blockchain that takes away their corruption powers? The only way you could adopt it is if it's developed in a trusted country, but then you'd be pitching your corrupt government to use a (possibly) hostile countries system to manage property. Or that they will actually use the blockchain to resolve disputes rather than just telling you to piss off?
It’s generally agreed upon by constitutional scholars that the 25th amendment wasn’t designed for that, and that trying to use it in that way creates some nightmare scenarios. Specifically it gives the president the ability to challenge their removal and have the senate adjudicate, which would be decidedly not great.

If Trump had been intubated with Covid or suffered a stroke, then the 25th amendment would have been an appropriate choice. Otherwise the proper avenue to remove a misbehaving president is impeachment.

I only saw it when it first came out but IMO it's a show you need to know what you're going to get. There are certainly things to strongly recommend it but, at the same time, (just) some of the acting is pretty weak, the CGI was innovative mostly in the context of working within a small budget, and the pacing/plotting towards the end was disrupted because the show didn't know if it would be renewed.
I think DeepFuckingValue is smarter than you give him credit for. It's worth leaving $20M on the table if it lets you tell the SEC "look, I'm clearly an idiot, there's no way I could have been deliberately engineering a pump and dump scheme".

Better to take $15M of profit than to gamble $35M on the SEC deciding not to prosecute.

So strange that YOLO has come to mean the opposite of what one would do if worried about the fact one only lives once. But I guess that's true for much slang.

It wouldn't be "Easy". Everywhere you have reviews encouraging people to put money down on things, someone is gaming that system. Amazon has issues as does Google.

Obviously it's anecdotal, but several of these people were my friends and coworkers. Some even set up trading accounts on the wake of the news (mostly the ones that were in late and lost money). Most went in small for the lols and made/lost a couple of hundred bucks, but there was one who did make a few thousand dollars, and given how much (starting when the share price was much lower) he shared during the process, I'm inclined to believe him.

The Bloomberg title is the misleading one if you read the article. The heart of the article covers Yellen's ethical issues, but for whatever reason Bloomberg chose the most benign title possible.

This stood out to me:

> The United States is presently in a state of national emergency. (It has been continuously since the early 1930s!) This fact is not generally known or appreciated by the public. The Presidential proclamations of national emergency issued under Roosevelt (1933), Truman (1950), and Nixon (1970, 1971) were not terminated when the crises that spawned them had passed. Our country remains under four separate active declarations of emergency.

I checked and the mentioned national emergencies ended in 1978.

Looks like there was a brief gap until November 14, 1979, when Carter imposed sanctions against Iran that are still in effect.

There are now 34 national emergencies in effect, besides Carter's going back to Clinton.

Hedge funds generally have LPs, which they recruit. You can theoretically buy into a hedge fund. You can't buy into a pension fund directly. The incentive structures are different.
Bezos is a fan of the series. Iirc, he insisted that one of the books be featured in an early kindle ad (can't find the source, so that very well could be apocryphal).

It actually solves it quite well.

It enforces you to input it properly, and not do half assed job due to immutability, because whatever you input in there will stay there, attached with credentials/metadata of whoever entered it.

Currently the main problem is that docs are in sorry state, it was a rush job - and that state is very profitable for some people making dubious claims to old property.

It would be easy to notice fraud, and all real estate deals need to go through proper notary anyways - would they risk their license if their failures would be visible - for ever?

Mind you I'm not trying to propose a global solution, I'm proposing blockchain use for government entities and entities that work closely with them.

It is just that governments aren't centralized on modern world, and you can leverage decentralized nature of blockchain to have a common dataset and standard available to all of those entities.

Is your position that the only possible result of the Russian Revolution was Stalin and the Holodomor?

The phenomena of revolutions turning authoritarian because of an outside enemy attempting to destabilize is in no way unique to the USSR. It's a pattern you see all across the world. It's what gets a movement that was opposed to even the concept of a standing army because of the centralization of power and the risk that brings to the largest standing army.

The Germans didn't create Lenin, but they fundamentally changed the course of the Rebellion against the Tsar by sending him back to Russia at that precise time. They had an intent in doing so that was realized.

The fact of a collision does not generally have regulatory. meaning unless your hashing scheme was for de-identification and your re-identification risk assessment of the method showed it was trivial to re-identify someone because of said collisions. Also, logically, the lower the collision rate, the more unique the identifier. I recommend reading the book I linked above.

The policy view of what these things mean vs. what we talk about in terms of entropy, collisions, confusion, etc, are subtly different things. Of course it depends on the regs regime, but here's an example from what I do:

A business wants to share 10million of personal profiles keyed on a SIN with another business or agency for some research. Privacy law says they can't share the data unless the personally identifying information is removed. Business tells their DBA to "encrypt" the SIN numbers, who says "sure" and SHA256's them all and shares the data set, because to him, now the SINs are not shared(!).

A privacy policy analyst freaks out because hashing the SINs has done nothing to protect the identities of the people in the data profiles. The DBA can't figure out why because he used an NIST approved 256bit hash on them and he tells his boss "it's fine, they're encrypted."

To your case with the salt: if you salt the hashes, the agency receiving the file calls back and says they can't use the data because the hashes don't match the profiles in their database - because they have been using the hashes as unique identifiers and re-identifying people in the data set. If you salt them for your initial data sharing, and then re-hash them with a new salt for an update, that's better, but it is still a transferable identifier for that cut of the data.

Even if you tokenize each profile with a UUID and transfer that UUID between agencies, you are transferring a unique identifier about the person. The right way to do this is to have a tokenization service broker that takes records and synthesizes new record keys (MBUN) for each destination counterparty you are sharing the data set with. Hardly anyone does this, and they just take the privacy risk instead.

The policy vs. info theory difference is that policy can conflate hashing and encryption depending on the purpose of the use, where in tech and security, they are totally different things.

RSS was and still is lovely plumbing. Given the expanse of its podcast offerings, I wonder if NPR is (quietly) the world's largest purveyor of RSS feeds?
Agreed - You stated more elegantly what I came here to reply with.

I personally love the “idea” or concept of a marriage (the understanding and commitment of two humans to each other for pure love, devotion, or spiritual/religious reasons), but in practice, at least from what I’ve seen in the US, it’s very much about the legal aspects of the “marriage contract”, the financial and legal impacts, as well as to continue to promote the US agenda of the nuclear family unit.
It's clearly both. The behavior of the billionaires makes that clear. Billions of dollars is enough incentive to commit tax fraud, and (hundreds of) millions of dollars in fines has not been enough to disincentive tax fraud.
Yeah I was just explaining what I was pretty sure he meant.
I think that's kind of the GP's point - they are advocating for not being lured by the (scant) potential for enormous gains, and instead taking the easy route to moderate gains (which will amount to large gains over time, as long as you reinvest).

> it probably makes more sense to put 90% in index funds but expose yourself to a bigger upside with stock picking.

Does it though? Unless you are an experienced professional financial trader (or are in possession of inside information), you are almost certain to have higher gains over time with indexed funds. If you really want to gamble on individual stocks, you may as well put 90% in index funds and put the rest on a roulette wheel.
> There is no reason for them to be demanding additional millions in exchange for giving a ten minute pep talk to a hedge fund except as a backdoor for corruption.

I don't see how this follows from your argument. As you acknowledge Clinton has a massive platform whenever he wants his views aired, and plenty of normal people are willing to pay his publisher money to read his book. Why would he fly to some hedge fund's dinner party to talk to a handful of half cut money-movers for free? I'd say that would be more suspicious, frankly.
