I think it's because, a deputy will investigate. Crash into a civilian vehicle and they will exchange insurance info. Crash into the police and you can expect a DUI investigation. Drunk drivers end up crashing into police cars all the time. They just focus on the flashing lights and automatically drive into them.

I think it's kind of telling that car autopilot systems drive like drunk people for the most part. Trouble seeing lines or dealing with unexpected situations. Crashing into parked cars and signs. I wonder if there is something missing in computerized neural network design that leaves out something that is impaired in drunk brains? Or maybe our computers are still just too slow.

>if crypto is a ponzi scheme, then isn't cash also a ponzi scheme? cash can become just as worthless, when no one believes in it anymore, just ask zimbabwae.

That's not how it works. You need to destroy the local economy first. For example, repossessing land of productive farmers and shutting farms down causes famines. If the local economy wasn't destroyed people would rush and start exporting their local products to markets that actually value them. You would end up with a lot of inflation but not Zimbabwe levels.

I recently read up on Venezuelan capital controls and honestly the only thing that came to my mind is that the politicians there want to destroy the currency as much as possible as if a functioning currency were the spawn of Satan that must be prevented at all costs. I'm personally surprised it takes that much to destroy a currency. You pretty much have to be actively evil to get to Venezuela levels.

Given enough care currencies can recover from pretty much anything as long as the local economy stays alive and relationships with foreign countries are being maintained. The only thing that cannot be recovered is the lost potential and time of all the individuals that make up the country.

It actually doesn't. It requires your name look like a true name. I know plenty of folks with fake last names on Facebook.
> My complaint is that on this site, people who are uninformed speak with a degree of certitude that a reader who didn't know any better could confuse with expertise, and that results in widespread misinformation and degrades trust in this site.

I’m not misrepresenting you.

Are you somebody who doesn’t know any better? I don’t think think so, so why are you trying to protect this imaginary victim?

Do you speak with a degree of certitude? I think you do.

It’s pretty easy to question unverifiable claims, whereas complaining about other people’s tone of confidence while doing the same thing yourself just seems like it’s not likely to have a useful effect. It too is just a generic and unverifiable claim.

You aren’t wrong that misinformation spreads on public fora. However there is no evidence that you are an authority on how to resolve that issue.
I can definitely see that being the case. The only issue here is that if you're actually just holding bonds and not cash, saying your currency is on a USD standard is patently false.

If your currency is backed by some kind of non-cash instrument, then what you've actually got is some kind of ETF like structure, not a currency qua exchange currency.
Elon Musk tweets ‘diamond hands’ emoji amid Bitcoin drop
Well we know the people who lose significant money will be a strict subset of people who are greedy. Maybe that's a good thing?
More seriously, study after study has shown that unless you take the fundamentals into consideration there is no way reliably to make money on the stock market, and certainly that will be the case for Bitcoin for which there are, amazingly, no fundamentals.
The exception would be if you were, say, a person who can manipulate the market with tweets and with large purchases through a publicly owned company that you control.
TypeScript: I Prefer `Array` over `Type[]`
Yeah, because websites won't adjust the price in crypto for goods and services if its price relative to dollars drops.

I'm long on crypto myself, but come on. This crash still affects the prices of goods and services, unless all you're buying is other crypto and nothing else. We are nowhere near the point where shops don't assume they have to check the bitcoin/usd cost every few minutes to adjust their pricing.

Pretty rude to blame them for "externalizing" something not caused by the them.

By the same token, they are externalizing the upside of early adoption while suffering the loss of benefits, while providing us a living illustration of the alternative to our own choices.

The comment you're linking to says that there are no current plans to change the default request to matrix.org from the login page, and that you explicitly plan to keep the current auto-updating behavior.

UI Mistakes That Hurt Your Mobile App Development Efforts
A year or so ago I was working on a similar product as FeaturePeek - a platform agnostic deploy preview and collaboration tool. I decided not enough people would want that outside of their hosting platform and shelved it.

Clearly I was wrong and clearly why you should talk to more potential customers before you make decisions. Congrats to Netlify and FeaturePeek.
Ive has gone, and there's been a notable uptick in the workability of product designs and (more subjectively) in visual coherence.

Ive did best under Jobs. There were numerous disasters when Jobs was no longer around to keep Ive on the rails, including iOS7, the butterfly keyboard, the touch bar, and the clunky first few iterations of Watch itself.

Big Sur is more Fisher-Price than it could be. Visually it's not a classic, but it's also better that mediocre.

But the new iMacs are probably the best iMacs ever, without the backward references and very visible Design™ of the post-Jobs Ive years.
But surely most of the coins were lost when they were cheap rather than now? If that's the case most of the deflation stemming from lost coins already happened and isn't going to happen in the future, so it's not really a big issue.
I see no problem with the fats you've mentioned, and I also think animals fats are fine as well. People used to cook with lard and tallow. McDonalds fries were originally cooked in tallow. People didn't die of obesity related diseases in the sixties and seventies like they do today, and we've only moved further from these healthy fats.
I mean specifically if I want to not have to cook something. Even among sit-down or carry out places near me.

You can't per se do it with crypto today either.

You go through two intermediaries with crypto. One to turn your chinese currency into crypto, then another to turn the crypto into us currency.
I think that is often true, but I work for a Fortune 500 company and did not know anyone who worked there before getting hired. In the 20 years I’ve worked there I’ve been involved in tons of interviewing potential hires. Every single one got their foot in based on their resume. I’ve never seen anyone hired because they knew someone at the company. I’m sure it happens, I’ve just never met anyone it has happened to.
> Have you considered it’s because being a poor child is itself a traumatic experience that isn’t magically cured by being ripped away from family and put into an environment of material abundance?

What you've said is unfalsifiable voodoo mumbo-jumbo. Even if someone proved you wrong here and started the experiment with the poor child at newborn level, which is what people do when these bad faith criticisms are lobbed, you'd just claim that the DNA of the baby inherited generational trauma, which is what people with your bad faith criticism resort to once the criticism is inevitably proven wrong.

If an FDIC insured account says "$100,000" in it, and then Coinbase goes under... you get $100,000 from it. Maybe in a few months after bankruptcy court figures out the details. But... yeah, the FDIC insurance definitely covers the stated balance.
I should have been more clear.

It's not a matter of whether it's possible but whether the seller had the foresight to use the service in such a capacity.

Because at the end of the day, an escrow is a trusted third party used to facilitate a trade. We typically think of them in terms of money because that's typically what they hold, but there's no good reason they can't be trusted with any good.
For me it was mostly not being able to afford school books and clothes, shoes other than Chinese supermarket stuff - so something that wouldn't last two seasons. Also five people living in a 45m2 apartment - thankfully only until I was twelve or so.

We reached a low point as a family when I was in college and my father, who left a few years earlier, stopped supporting us. Fortunately by that time I had a part-time job and could at least pay for my own food and cleaning products most of the time.

My SO had it worse though - four people in a studio apartment until she was about eleven and her father, the sole consistent breadwinner, left when she was a teenager, from which point on they had to sustain themselves on alimony and occasional jobs their mother would take.
> USDC, DAI, USDT are all used more than ever, orders of magnitude more

Even these cryptos aren't being used as currencies per se. They're popular, sure, but they're popular because A) they allow traders to move funds between crypto 'investments' without converting to fiat (i.e. without triggering cap gains), and B) They allow investors to "avoid market volatility" (but in a manner far riskier than fiat, given that even DAI or USDT could go to zero tomorrow).

...but they're still not currencies. Nobody is buying a hamburger with DAI.

Look up wash sales. I personally did not know about that. I made some money “scalping” on doge volatility, then learned of this tax rule, and I’m left wondering if I’m going to get a tax bill that wipes out what I made.

It’s not a stock, so maybe not. But I hadn’t even heard of such a rule and it was an eye opener. I could have gotten into a pretty deep hole and had no idea.

Not Robinhood’s fault, but a risk nonetheless.
Well seeing as stock trading is inherently risky, democratizing trading makes this risky activity more accessible to more people. Now instead of just the elite manipulating the market to benefit themselves at the expense of the public, the public gets a chance to turn the tables. Some of the newbies will make mistakes or do stupid things along the way. To consider them mutually exclusive seems a bit disingenuous. Also I dont recall this much media turmoil over the credit default swap mortgage crisis fiasco of 2008. But then again that only screwed over the entire economy instead of the few elites that benefited from everyone else's loss.

I have a story similar to many of the others here. Mine was in the mid 90s when a kid could make good money developing websites. The hardest part was the client interactions, which is not something a 14 year old is particularly good at.

But the real take-away is that this era of computing was a true green field for the kids growing up in it. My cousins, who are over 10 years younger than me, grew up in a totally different world and, despite having used computers their whole life, have no idea how they work or how to build stuff with them.

A childhood spent writing batch files in order to run DOS X-Wing is very different than one spent loading a CD into the 1st gen Xbox.

I feel bad for my own kids, who are surrounded by technology that is walled off and inaccessible. Even 'View Source' on web pages is virtually useless now-a-days. It's a lot harder to get into the internals of systems than it used to be.
I believe elliptic geometry is a subset, it's spherical geometry that isn't (though it's closely related).

It looks like each brick is hollow, so think of them as birdhouses integrated into the wall. As for proximity there are many species that nest close to each other - it might seem like density would help predators, but there are defense benefits to having neighbors sound alerts and join you in putting a sharp beak into the back of a squirrel's skull.
It means that ETH which is a decentralized cryptocurrency can be used as a collateral for an algorithmic stablecoin called RAI that adjusts its price based on the price of ETH from a Uniswap price feed and a PID controller and arbitrage. To mint RAI you need to deposit ETH. The goal of RAI is to create a stablecoin which dampens the price movements of ETH over long periods of time.
We would also see higher prices for consumers, since Nvidia would need to crank up higher profit margin a bit on their RTX cards to make the same average profit per chip sold without their high margin Quadro cards going to enterprise.

Perspective: BTC and crypto in general retraced to January 2021 levels. Since the article was printed we have recovered 25% of that correction.

The perspective is volatility.
Almost guaranteed? If one put all that money into S&P indexes instead of coin, they'd be up 20% versus betting on crazy coin returns.

Most people aren't equipped to handle the volatility of the coin market and most people don't understand that you don't actually lose until you realize losses. Therein creates almost more guaranteed stress than actually making money, as we're seeing now with all the bag holders from the past couple months getting destroyed.
Trust me, I get that; the main argument is that, in protocol wars, there's strength in numbers; IRC is a waning protocol, Matrix is a waxing protocol. I'm not saying people must change what's working for them already; my only case is that _if_ what _was_ working for you is now broken (the freenode network), you have a new opportunity to re-evaluate your position. That's all.

You don't even have to go "all in" on all the fancy new Matrix stuff; just write a wrapper to comply with being a "homeserver", and continue using the IRC API with no changes. If not, that's also fine, I'm not that invested in this personally.

Conspiracy theories aside, one thing to keep in mind is that cryptocurrency market is largely unregulated. This means that it can be and does get manipulated by the major players (aka "whales").

The likes of Goldman Sachs, hedge funds, etc. are still able to manipulate the fiat and equity markets despite all the regulation - just imagine what happens on the unregulated cryptocurrency end. An example is that Coinbase was fined a couple of months ago for wash trading: https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8369-21

It looks like prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum have rebounded from the low this morning by 20%+. So this was perhaps a flash crash, though the cryptocurrency market is always highly volatile.
That's not a fair summary of anyone's view, and you know it.

>2. Bitcoin pricing is on a log scale.

Time to report bitcoin pricing with decibels?

I suppose another logarithmic scale would work here as well: Richter scale; scaled so these "corrections" are in the middle of the scale. Then we could about a "magnitude 5 on the bitcoin Richter scale" correction, etc.
If you're holding as long as most people do index funds (i.e. 5-10+ years), historically you would have been way better off putting that money into bitcoin. Even taking this crash into account, I'm way up on crypto compared to my 401k. Not going to stop putting money into my 401k though, for the sake of diversification.
All you have to do is end global trade and possibly spark WW3. Ok.
The specific item I remember quite well because of the hubbub it caused (apparently, my astonishment was was considered insulting) was tiramisu. I don't think that is pretentious. It's available from common supermarkets, but this was a few miles outside of Gap, Pennsylvania. I don't know the area well, but Gap is only a town of a thousand people that likely doesn't have restaurants. Lancaster would have, given it has a college.

It's not like I got a detailed life history from these people, but if you ever get the chance, the level of culture shock can be striking. The biggest event of my time there was the neighbor's horse that was used to drive the plows sustaining an enormous gash on its front right leg. That effectively stopped work as people rushed to try and stitch it up. With no machinery, they're entirely reliant on horses to accomplish any meaningful field work, so a serious injury to one can severely impact yield.

They are prepared for that, though. Thanks to not making much in the way of purchases of virtually anything from the outside world, resources only flow in so they have a surplus of everything they need to last years if they need to hunker down. Any form of community wealth is entirely kept in the community, so there were apparently some fairly vast intergenerational savings built up.

So I don't know if the concern was really that being down a plow was going to have any material impact on anyone's ability to eat, but it was dramatic nonetheless. I didn't ask, but I got the impression the guy driving the plow was as distraught as he was because he considered the horse a friend. He seemed distressed by the amount of pain it was in.
The theory is that the market cap of BTC/Eth/Shitcoins have been pumped by Tether buying power that isn’t actually backed by USD. People think Tether is printing fake money and buying crypto with it. If/when the world realizes this, the market cap of these different assets will return to their (possibly much lower) “real” values. This slide could cause another crash.

This still seems to leave open the ability for Chinese nationals to covertly convert yuan to foreign currencies without limits - buying compute with yuan which converts to BTC which can then be converted into anything.
I wonder what the BTC/USD break even point is for that to make financial sense.
What a great use for what would otherwise be e-waste.

At first, having only seen the title, I thought that the loggers were out there with their phones and perhaps the responsible authorities had set up their own 3G/4G/5G towers to get alerted and/or triangulate their location.

That’s not what people mean when they say inflation is “transitory”, they mean inflation will be high now (prices will rise) and will be low later (so prices will not continue rising). I don’t think people think there will be deflation (prices return to old ones).

From an earlier thread:

[Bitcoiners…] may be arrogant sounding, but it’s not stupid.

It is in the financial interest of Bitcoin holders to talk up Bitcoin and defend it to the death.

The senior management of regular banks in many countries are often required by law to deny that the bank is in jeopardy right up until the moment they close the doors, as a way to prevent bank runs.

Because crypto is distributed, every holder is a bank manager, and must deny or minimize problems with the currency in order to maintain sentiment and prevent runs.

This for me is one of the biggest problems with Bitcoin - it incentivizes the holders to become engines of disinformation.
