Yeah. I agree that is not great, but it also is legal language and says “might be less”, not a guarantee. The way I would probably do it is always refund the equivalent U.S. dollar amount of the initial purchase. That may very well be what they plan to do in practice and this is just language to cover them incase they need to make exceptions.

One thing that makes the Tesla case unique is that they plan to hold the Bitcoin they receive _as_ Bitcoin whereas most companies who accept Bitcoin immediately convert it to dollars. So I think they have to have some leeway.

Similar to my other example, if you spend 1 BTC @ $50k to buy a car then the price of Bitcoin crashes to $30k and you ask for a refund, it isn’t feasible for Tesla to pay you 1.6 BTC as your refund cause then you end up with more BTC than you paid initially and Tesla didn’t gain BTC by holding your original amount.
So you're saying you agree with me: The world works different for women than men, so telling a woman "If you're sweating while working hard in the heat, take your top off." would be actively bad advice that assumes she's merely stupid for not doing so?
I find video helpful to pick up on nonverbal queues like if someone is trying to say something, better than the raise/lower hand emote.

I also find that with team building it helps to put faces with names but that’s not as important as trying to improve the amount of information shared in the group call.

No of course not, that reading isn't any more accurate than it would be to say that you're arguing that we should set up a Dyson sphere around our sun to black out the earth and mine Bitcoin in the vast dead emptiness of space for all eternity[0]. Be careful not to inflate arguments into completely separate positions.

What GP is saying is that switching to renewables doesn't make all of the negative externalities of wasting power go away.

You shouldn't extrapolate out on that to some grand view of the world that says we should never use technology. It just means we shouldn't waste power, and we shouldn't use "solar" as an excuse to waste power.

[0]: After all, Dyson spheres are powered by renewable energy.

I feel like history is going to look at this phenomenon as a strange curiosity, the same way we look at the Inquisition or the Salem Witch Trials today or even some of the communist revolutions.

Worth remembering that patio11 has a vested interest (via Stripe) in seeing Bitcoin fail and the current financial system continue operating like it is today.

I'm not saying he is wrong here, or wrong in general about Bitcoin, or that you shouldn't take his advice into consideration. Just to remember when people speak for/against Bitcoin they sometimes can have deeper (even sometimes unsubconcious) motives.
Typically I use the cheese powder as a sauce with milk and butter, and augment with "real cheese". However, cheese powder does in my experience have a stronger flavor than real cheese; if you want that super-cheesy flavor the powder is very good at it. Arguably I'm cutting the cheese powder with the real cheese.

Also, a sibling reply mentions roux. I haven't got that option myself because I'm allergic to wheat, so I'm personally stuck with "alternatives" regardless.
Pretty sure when relativity was worked out we didn't have clocks accurate enough. IIRC several of the predictions made by relativity were only able to be tested years later, the Michelson-Morley experiment being the only one performed prior to Einstein's work.
The press's extra constitutional protections imply a duty to act as an adversary to the powerful and to inform the public of what they learn.

In as much as news orgs fail to challenge those in power, they are abdicating their primary responsibilities - they are earning a loss of trust. Publishing press releases by Gov/LEO/Biz verbatim, without vetting the info or adding historical context, is a polar opposite of what 1A protections imply.

As far as informing the public: One news org publishing 7 headlines is informing us. Dozens of others who publish those same stories, w/o meaningfully different content, is not. Bounded, local markets have been gone for a generation. It seems delusional to disseminate news as if it were still 30-300 years ago.

This is a little better, but don't do this. You still need to calculate what are the notes outside of F A C E. Just memorize each note independently, it may take longer but it is much easier after that. If you continue using clutches like this, you'll forever have to do the translation in your head, which takes a lot of time and effort.

The counterexample is aluminium, which is a commodity. It can be stored, resold. Security cannot. You output the same number of bitcoins regardless of electricity input. There's no storage or saving that can be recovered later. With aluminium, you would have more aluminium.

The reason it's like this is because the price of bitcoin isn't affected by electricity prices and electricity prices aren't affected by bitcoin prices.

But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January.

I expect economics textbooks in the future will refer to this time as the time this question was settled: were shells and gold money because of their intrinsic ability to be used as jewelry etc., or was it jewelry because their other properties (particularly scarcity / unforgeable costliness) made them natural monies?

Hard money advocates have been arguing this point recently, and IMO it can only be settled by the market and observation. Only if the latter is true, does Bitcoin have a valid claim to become money.
That explains a lot. I only buy fuyu persimmons now, because when I have tried the other kinds, they have been inedible - very astringent.

> seeing highly-upvoted comments like this one that are so confident and yet so completely wrong

Looking back at my comment and scratching my head. In what way could it even be wrong? I’m literally just offering my personal experience from a life of playing piano, in reaction to the implicit assumption in the post that learning to play the piano means learning to play by reading a score.

I’m not against reading sheet music, but I’m against the idea that you somehow must do it to play this instrument, because I know it’s absolutely wrong. I’m not cut off from any genre I’m interested in playing, I’ve been able to receive in-person instructions, and I’ve certainly played in bands. I’m not really sure what “written pedagogical resources” about playing the piano would be, so not sure what to say about that.

For what it’s worth, this is a reasonably accurate description of me as well.

Really? I guess everyone is different but I get absolutely nothing from those types of videos and I've tried a few times. How do you do actually use these videos in practice?

They provide no key signature, timing, chord, fingering or expression information at all? It's just pitch and duration on a fast scrolling marquee. It feels like like trying to read a book when someone else who reads at a different pace keeps turning the pages.

My preference is the standard youtube "piano lesson" format - someone sitting at the keys who plays it once and then breaks the piece down into digestible chunks, explains a bit of theory/musical context, provides fingering advice, goes over the harder parts, etc. If not that, then traditional sheet even though I'm useless at sight reading but at least, given time, I can work it out.
I'm not sure if it's the union who prevents stock from being part of the negotiations and/or Tesla, however to me it doesn't make sense to be illegal: if you have two choices for jobs at different companies and they both offer good incentive packages, both are good offers but in different ways - there will be pressure depending on what you value more. Perhaps you'll value higher immediate payout vs. long-term payout via a stock that you believe will go up - and you're willing to take that risk because you believe in what the company is doing - and you'll be working there to help make sure that it happens.
Different people tend to look at Bitcoin in completely different ways. In terms of what is a store of value, and what is wasted energy vs well used and worthwhile energy consumption.

The All Sides blog has been an eye opener when it comes to examining biases that permeate virtually all news media (even the tenured giants like NYT), understanding how narratives are engineered, and how public perceptions are shaped. For example they had a recent write up on plug and play journalism (https://www.allsides.com/blog/rise-plug-and-play-journalism) and media bias regarding violence against Asian Americans (https://www.allsides.com/blog/unpacking-media-bias-and-narra...).

The only solution to cancel culture is to cancel those out of your life who would cancel you. I would be doing the same thing if I was in your shoes.

On the bright side, this is hopefully a healthy opportunity for us all to find some friends outside of work.
"Think about what a white man would do" seems completely ambiguous to me. It's not a clear way to communicate. It would be better to follow up "I see you're hesitating to take credit for your work" with specific examples of what she might be able to say. Or you could give examples of behavior that people she knows have exhibited.

Even if "what a white man would do" wasn't emotionally charged (and it is), it's not a good way to make the point.
Fox News is trash too, it’s not as Republican loved as it is made out to be, not even close. It may even be more of a lightning rod for taking jabs at Republicans than it is actually trusted.
Perhaps phrase it as an open-question, rather than something that can be open to interpretation.

It will not. Bitcoin is literally designed specifically to make sure this never happens.

Again, as soon as you manage to develop a way to mine bitcoin more efficiently, the difficulty of mining will automatically go up to make sure you are still wasting just as much energy.
Surely, what TPOG and other novels in the sequence are trying to say is that the Minds find manipulating humans, and other intelligent entities, somewhat abhorrent (see the Ship Gray Matter, for example), and only step in to do it when they can see no other choices. Hence Special Circumstances (as opposed to Contact).
Well it is much higher caffeine/volume, it's just that you (typically) drink a much lower volume of it.
Even if it's an awful news source, which it is, it's the only place to receive the other side of stories, or alternative viewpoints, as biased as they are. Fox News and CNN are the same in my book. You can disagree with that, which is fine, to each their own, but I see them both as insanely biased, politicized, monetized, having given up on actual journalism long ago. I watch them both just to see what the extremes of both sides are up to, with the truth being a combination of bits and pieces from both sides. I literally have to incorporate Fox News in, as horrible as it is, because it's the only way to be exposed to any other data.

So yes, I watch it, and yes, I don't think it's good or understands me, but there's no other choice; the alternative is to be awash in one ideology's propaganda 24/7, to only ever receive information from sources that are horribly biased one way.
> It is probably much cheaper to get it from dirt than from this asteroid

Well, delivery costs play a role as well.

If you're looking for iron for use on Earth, you're right. If you're looking for iron to use in space construction, the asteroid material is likely much cheaper.

If one believes (as I do) that the human race will either move into space or go extinct, then asteroids will be far more important for the future of our society.
Yeah. Those of us in the industry (and who personally saw Silicon Valley become a dried husk in the mid-1990s due to outsourcing) have known this for 20 years.

We've also known that China has been intentionally inducing all the world's "means of production" to leave the West so China could monopolize it and use that monopoly to "force a Marxist revolution" or at least subjugate anyone who resisted. The Chinese themselves have said this was the plan going back to Deng Xiaoping.

American politics, only 2 items on the menu WW2 and the cold war.
My first take on the article is that the author overestimates the impact and even the causality of an investor giving founders advice to swipe roles. It makes it sound simple and so reduced that to turn a company around is just having founders swiping roles.

But that’s beside the point of the article. Ultimately I think it’s on men to learn how to handle giving candid advice in a non-sexist manner. This investor just considered his investment not enough to be worthy bothering to try to find a way to give the same advice in a non-sexist way.

My final take of the article is: founders, don’t listen to advice made by investors who invested a small enough portion of their portfolio to even care if your chances as a company to be successful improve or not.

I don't see those as useful since it doesn't provide the person any actual guidance or reference point. What does assertive mean? What should I exactly do? How do I do it? "Act like X" provides a well known reference point that they can use to adjust their behavior based on. They can remember all the times they've seen X do something in a similar situation and then just act like that.
