Those huge bricks of money aren't going anywhere. SpaceX (or anyone else) aren't flying missions for the government for free!
Things could be different this time around. Polkadot and Cardano are leading the way in PoS and Ethereum might conservatively copy the parts that work. But they could turn out to be just like NavCoin and PIVX after a few years — much lower on the marketcap chart. I don’t know what the winner will be in the future but I do know quite a lot of the past.
World War 2 was the one that really solidifed the US’s spot as a superpower, and in both cases it had as much to do with Europe’s losses from the wars as it did with anything the US gained. It also seriously helps that the US is a gigantic country filled with an abundance of natural resources. Europe destroying itself twice right as modern industrialization kicked into high gear, along with those resources, are what turned the US into a superpower.

Doge was a joke coin made to mock the moonboys of bitcoin. It's not as valuable because tens of thousands of new coins come into existence every block. It was designed to be inflationary on purpose specially so that it would remain worthless.

However. It's still a digital medium of exchange so it still retains some utility (even though most people don't care).

This is the main issue. If they don't participate in online communities where their friends are, they will have significant social disadvantage.

As a grown up, I had quit Facebook for about a year, and I noticed my social life was declining slowly. Someone would forget to invite me to some event. Someone might be shocked that I didn't know so and had a baby. And I am sure people started to label me as weirdo for not having Facebook.

Back to kids, yeah this is a social issue, not something that one can solve alone for just their family.
That they apparently sometimes fail to do these things.

You can't verify anything internal unless you're internal or it has already failed publicly, so you of course have to draw on patterns seen elsewhere. Critical-process failures in one area correlate heavily with failures in others.

Plus, Epic has not exactly shown themselves to be producing consistent quality in anything related to their store, or many internet-connected properties. If they were, this might be more attributable to "accidents happen, it's impossible to prevent them all". It could still be an abnormality, but they're edging further towards "... maybe not though" territory.

Edit: lets add a concrete "kinda example, kinda counter-example". Google is a tech company that is pretty good at consistently renewing its many certificates. They recently failed to do so for Google Voice: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/recent-google-v...

I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that this reinforces claims that Google Voice is low priority / at higher risk of future issues due to lack of care, i.e. systemic issues, compared to other Google properties. I have no proof, but that doesn't mean it's automatically unreasonable.

With a short expiry, let's say 90 days, you should be renewing 30 days ahead of time, so at the 60 day mark you attempt to renew.

I've wondered about the asymmetry of information someone finding a bunch of cards in the garage. Maybe worth a lot, but would cost a lot just to find out. A collector could just bid on bulk cards, but how would they know it's not picked clean of the good ones?

They don't seem to have the kind of drive that SpaceX has. And their secretiveness is not causing space fans to be enamored of them. SpaceX by contrast is quite open (with Elon often speculating on Twitter with fans about the cause of a test failure within minutes of it happening). That open approach is definitely delivering public mindshare that seems to be helping them.
The US become the world's largest economy somewhere around the 1880s or 1890s. By that time, it was a world-leading innovator in several (but by no means all) technologies, perhaps railroads most of all (e.g., the US switched to automatic couplers in the 1890s; the EU is piloting switching to them now, 130 years later).

However, despite its immense economic prowess, the US did not play a major part in international affairs, often explicitly choosing to stay out of European debacles. (This is often called isolationism, but that's not a wholly accurate description of foreign policy). For its part, Europe also generally ignored the US: a posting to the US would have been seen as a punishment rather than an honor, taking the person involved outside of the social circles of Europe.

When WWI strikes, the US stays out of the war in the initial phases before changing its mind and getting involved. As the only party involved which didn't eviscerate its population by war, it gained a lot of leverage over the peace treaty... which it promptly squandered by going isolationist again and staying out of the European squabbles. During WWII, Roosevelt again takes a leading role in dictating the terms of the peace treaties and post-war diplomatic order, with the US actually staying in the role afterwards, unlike WWI.

The term "superpower" is usually only used to analyze the roles of countries in the post-WW2 order, with the US and the USSR (and, briefly, the UK) afforded the role of superpower since they dominate the world political sphere. Before WWI, the analysis is in terms of great powers, and is mostly looking at their influence within the idea of the "Concert of Europe." Here, despite the US's economic strength, its noninterest in Europe renders it outside of most discussions of great power politics. And between the wars, pretty much the only analysis people care to do is in how the stage is set for WWII.

This is a long-winded way of saying that the answer to your question is "no."
You're probably missing the futures contracts.

You said "credit cards amount to $3tn of payments [my emphasis] in the U.S annually.", doing so as if this somehow made crypto appear small. I pointed out that Bitcoin alone does more than this per year in payments since 2018, and that there are thousands of other crypto projects. Many of these are also making comparable numbers of payments.

By the simple metric of how much value cryptocurrency users are transmitting with each other as payments, versus how much users of credit cards are doing - which was the original framing as I understood it - crypto wins. And of course it does, you may be right its an apples to hand grenades comparison, but the simple fact of the matter is we are comparing apples to hand grenades.

In some ways this is all about as useful as comparing how many miles horses and carts are doing versus steam or combustion engines.

The point is, even early on, per mile travelled, engines win. And they do so not just because they can travel further faster, but because they enable new use-cases by doing so - just like crypto.

Crypto has been here for ten years already and despite being derided as a toy early on, is now worth, and transferring, trillions.

See you after the next ten years, when credit cards will almost certainly be as VHS tapes are now.

The basic ability to get people to and from the ISS was a critical capability, so it was sensible to want redundant options as long as it was affordable. The moon is IMHO more of a nice to have. If this option doesn't pan out fine, try something else.

I feel bad for the Dynetics lander though, I thought that was a really interesting design but relied on expendable launchers.
Rust doesn't have invisible allocations. The compiler doesn't even know what an allocation is.
at this point, I just don't want to see or smell anyone smoking out on sidewalks or anywhere in public anymore - after a year away from it due to pandemic, and also the side notion that smokers standing around blowing smoke out into their surroundings seems to go against any kind of pandemic squashing efforts, it's just not a thing that should be acceptable anymore. It just seems odd to have something where someone randomly imposes that on your fresh air/surroundings at will.

and yes, I have experienced the 'old days' of bars and clubs full of smoke etc. Nostalgic times at parties coming out totally stinking of smokey rave grime, but we've all gotten used to that not being a thing by now.

High voltage MOSFETs and IGBTs are built on a completely different process. Size is definitely not an issue with them. It is about exotic doping to create the desired characteristics.

They're built using much larger feature sizes but on completely separate lines.
Considering SpaceX got by far the smallest award for the initial bid [0], it's great to see NASA choosing something new in an industry where entrenchment is so prevalent. It's a big disappointment that we haven't seen more from Blue Origin since the initial bid. Hopefully, the established players will take a step back and understand why SpaceX is completely dominating everything they do in this space.

Starship doesn't fit the original mission very well, so I wonder if this could be the start of a pretty big (and in my opinion necessary) overhaul for Artemis. I can't find the document, but I know NASA was pretty set on preferably a 3 but possibly a 2 stage lander and weren't sold on Starships reusability and using the same vehicle for cargo and human missions.

Starship is far more capable than anything else out or even anything on a drawing board, and NASA accepting it for human flights to the Moon signals a lot of confidence in SpaceX and Starship. Hopefully, NASA uses it to its fullest potential.

Calm down, I know plenty of talented developers at FAANGxyz companies who are less articulate and have weaker writing skills compared to OP (at least in the post you're replying to, I do agree the original post was a bit off, but clearly it was written in some type of emotional state.. you know with his calling himself unhirable and all.)

It seems that a lot of people replying here never understood the phrase "don't just a book by its cover". So many people are opining about OPs character in definite, and it's just unpleasant to witness. Sure, the whole calling VPs directly thing is a bad idea, and definitely inappropriate, but I can understand someone feeling like they're doing the right thing to advocate for an issue they see to be impactful. I wish I could CC this to all the people postulating OPs universal lack of empathy. I agree that he could benefit from therapy, because honestly we all can benefit from therapy; but all the posts implying he needs to be medicated or psychoanalyzed are reprehensible. I see someone who is upset with where they are, so they wrote a post conveying that in a slightly conceited way, yet so many talented minds in the field of tech are coming to this post to say that he has delusions of grandeur.

He is the book, and this post along with the comments he's making are the cover. You can give advice on what's presented without insulting his character.

I was forced to implement chroot() for SFTP users under Oracle/RedHat Linux 5. We are, alas, still running it.

The OpenSSH 4.3 release on this platform does not support the "match" keyword, but I was able to coerce it to run a separate SFTP-only on port 24, where I constrained the SFTP-specific accounts. I find that I prefer this approach.

My wily users then discovered that the working passwd entry also let them login with FTP on port 21, so careful control of allowed groups for both protocols was eventually required. Afterwards there is always the nagging suspicion that something was missed.

OpenSSH would also be much better with localized SFTP accounts that were not defined in /etc/passwd. Add that to the wishlist.
it's weird - collectible markets in everything are getting bubbly. some things even mass produced pocket knives that got discontinued a few years ago are going for exorbitant prices.

Probably the same reason why no one has made a better IMDB -- Goodreads has a head start and it's "good enough" for most people. It takes a lot of time (or money) to build enough content to make a viable competitor. A book recommendation engine that has only 5% of the content of Goodreads won't be very popular.

As my ex would say: "If everyone had more sex, the world would be a happier place." I think this starts with stripping away shame, judgements, and disgruntlement.

Re: disgruntlement -- I think sex surrogates would very quickly solve the "incel problem."

In BBC's Sherlock, there's this idea that Sherlock is a "sociopath on the side of the angels." He could be a villain, but he has found a way to channel his natural talents and tendencies for good. I think there are certain people who have this talent/tendency to strongly influence the lives of an entire harem of sexual partners. I think this is largely seen as strongly negative by much of culture and society because there's no positive outlet for people who have such talents and tendencies. Also, the kind of power such therapists would wield needs a good education and various checks and balances, much as doctors and other kinds of therapists do.

Lots of people who could have been a naturally talented doctor in the 21st century were probably burned at the stake in centuries past. I think this is one kind of therapy which falls into a similar pattern. The world just wasn't ready for it before.
It reminds me of how useless reference texts have become.

Could you clarify your point? It's hard to tell what it is.
Musk is very aggressive about raising capital to accelerate scaling up. That Musk is raising sheds no light on profitability. He'll raise even with fat margins if he thinks it's the fastest path to his goals.

There's no question F9 has been deep into profitability for ages. Most people estimate they're operating at about 10% of the cost of their competitors now on a per flight basis.

First, it’s great you took that animal in and I find no fault with the thing your doing. It is normal in this time.

> Also, it's actually work for me to do this.

This is the key point. It is work to give a cat outdoor experiences but not allow the cat to roam freely.

The same goes for having a dog.

But there is a general acceptance that the two animals should be treated completely differently.

A wild dog would also not take well to indoor only life. However, the concept of adopting a feral dog is far less familiar because dogs are generally not allowed to roam cities unattended. (In the US at least)

As for not caring about the animal, I need to clarify:

They must care differently about that animal. It is more like the relationship between a farmer and farm animals than a companion relationship you might see dramatized in a cat food commercial.

The reason I say that is because it is far more likely an “outdoor” cat will be eaten by a predator or hit by a car.

The cat “owner” accepts letting the cat live it’s best life is more important than protecting it against these dangers that is a choice.

So I suppose these folks care differently than other people, because the relationship is different.

Still waiting for graphene to be commercially available in something. It has been hyped as the ultimate super material for decades and yet, it's being used in absolutely nothing.
In 2012, Xiaoping Ren published work in which he grafted the head of a mouse onto another mouse's body; again the focus was on how to avoid harm from the loss of blood supply; with his protocol the grafted heads survived up to six months.[1]

That's wild, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if there's really all that much we don't know about how to transplant a head onto another body, if it's just to keep the donor alive (that is, what we don't know may not stop us from being successful putting a second head on to someone and connecting the blood supply so the brain survives).
