In reality what's probably happening is the person in Argentina is taking Pesos and transferring the money in some manner to a US account that supports Zelle, which has become the payment method of choice in Venezuela. The remittance is then sent to someone's friend's account using Zelle, and then used for payments. Bitcoin transaction fees have just been too high to make it viable for remittances.

Any company could do this with fiat currency today. "Crypto" has nothing to do with it.

> Take any traditional tech company that has nothing to do with crypto and just change one thing: instead of paying early adopters who help the platform grow $150 bucks, which is nothing, pay them in what is essentially a micro-dose of stock.

Likewise, there is nothing stopping a company doing this today without "crypto".

My counter is that their dead pixels monitors policy is explicit and seems clearly and universally applied, so if you buy a monitor from Amazon and you get some dead pixels, you are SOL.
Cryotocurrency is like a microcosm of libertarianism in general: it promises to give everybody more freedom, but it really only benefits the rich by turning the economy based on it into an unregulated winner-take-all battle royale. And it fucks over the environment in the process.

Yes, it does happen. I've read many news about US claims that Chinese government-backed hacker groups or corporations spying and stealing. And they are embargoed.

I once had a seller (site was ran on BigCommerce or something) accuse me of lying about a defective item, and threatening to publish my name and full address on the website as a 'fraudster' unless I took down the 1 star review that I left on Trustpilot.

The matter was resolved with a refund when I forwarded the email threat they sent me to a couple relevant blogs/reviewers.
"I was wondering if the community here, such as it is, has any tips for daily exercises or practices that can help me get back on track in a kaizen or incremental way a little bit every day."

I recommend the book The ONE Thing, Gary Keller: https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-...

The short of it is exactly what you asked for - working incrementally on one small thing. The core of it is a domino effect, where a small thing pushes over a bigger domino. Most of the advice is on how to pick the next dominos. You pick a large epic goal, as a purpose, and a smaller one, which is your priority, and then line them up.

A lot of people were made in a few years, so really, you just need about 10 years to achieve your dream whatever it is. It sounds like you have more skills than most people your age; don't compare yourself too harshly with HN in general.

Why do you call yours a pseudo-graph database?

I use that term because my system only allows 1 true level of depth before you have to query again. You also have to predefine the data model, but that's so that it can automatically choose the right entity type (to format the PK/SK correctly) and so that it supports automatic Global Secondary Index selection as it dynamically generates the query. It also means that each entity can only have up to 5 extra indexable key pairs.

Well, I was wrong. I just looked it up and you can now have 20 GSI. It used to be 5 haha.

Anyway, it would be cool to talk about your project. I'll check it out this week.
Contracts are not immutable nor eternal. By raising the issue now, she is setting the stage for her future contract negotiations and garnering support for this point in advance. I imagine that if she had followed through with all the interviews for this season and waited to raise this until her next contract negotiations that she would not win this concession.
Now she has a much better chance of getting this flexibility.

She’s already become an icon; last year she had a few pieces on CNN which were quite wholesome. Plus, these pieces were not done in the shadow of a loss - they were reversed, scripted, and well thought out. I think it’s fair for her to want control of her image off the court given the current cultural climate in the United States. Plus, I think this is what these leagues would want more of - less controversy, especially if they are angry that a judge made a ruling which cost them the match.

There are things she probably doesn’t want to comment on and she’s probably had to deal with a lot of trolls due to her heritage. edit for grammar Also, I remember a few years ago an issue with Venus or Serena Williams and a line judge. Things get really heated, talking to the press immediately after a match in such heated situations is probably not smart and if I were running a league, I wouldn’t want that sort of bad publicity nor would I want to tarnish one of my star’s reputation.

I’d also like mention that sports interviews are really an American/Western phenomenon. Channels which buy sports rights in non-English speaking countries usually play competitions non-stop, with breaks only showing scores. Rarely will you ever see a post game press conference in countries like Korea, Japan, or China. There’s just too much other content to show. Fans in these countries just want to see the action and accept commentary in their native language.

I wish Naomi the best of luck.

A non-US drone attacking USG assets isn't going to see the USG crack down on drones. They might use it to crack down on hacking, encryption, criticism of the USG, unlicensed drones, Bitcoin, competition from China, or copyright infringement, or other things they're against. But they won't use it to crack down on things that they're in favor of, like drones.
I think the only point of value for crypto currencies is enabling the purchase of drugs online, and don't get me wrong, being able to escape the terrible effects of prohibition is a very useful thing. Anyone who has tried will tell you how much better ( by any metric ) buying digitally is to the alternatives.
Disagree, I’ve played professional tennis briefly and the tour can be grinding sure, but the reason players are paid so much is because people want to watch them and see them compete, press junkets are part of this. I’ve seen her happily give victory speeches before. What a spoiled baby, refusing to talk to the associations when they reached out, good on the Grand Slams for not accepting this type of behavior. She could take a cue from Federer or Nadal.
> if they were forced to cover the difference to the driver

The rider isn't guaranteeing a $X trip, if anyone is -- that's a contract Uber is making with the driver, and they should absolutely cover the difference. If they find themselves losing money on that, then they can and will update the guarantee message, right?

Guessing or investigating the internal negotiations between a service provider and their own service providers is not the responsibility of the customer!
Sigh, this sounds like a weird spiritual extrapolation from the often used specious aphorism "that which does not kill you makes you stronger", try telling that to someone who's just had a heart attack.

In what way scientifically speaking does biking specifically in the rain make you a "better person"? Biking can definitely help with your health and is certainly a good way to get around, but the rain can obstruct your vision and could cause your breaks to lock up if you had to stop suddenly.
When hiring someone from Colorado, you follow Colorado's laws. When hiring someone from Michigan, you follow Michigan's laws.

It's not really that difficult for most companies to do this. There are plenty of companies that have offices in multiple states, countries and they follow the laws of the jurisdictions in which they do business.

You don't need an entire department to comply with local laws, usually you consult the services of an attorney in the respective jurisdiction or someone familiar with the laws of that jurisdiction and they let you know what you need to do to comply. Despite what you may often hear, getting advice from an attorney is not THAAT expensive.
Maybe. I've seen the opposite, where no one takes responsibility for anything, and it's also bad. In fact, the situation you describe could also be a lack of anyone else taking responsibility for disaster planning and etc.

I think what is needed is a culture of -ownership-. That's basically people saying "I'm responsible". Not one where everyone tries to avoid responsibility, and not one where peopel point fingers.

You can't ask insurance to pay for it unless there is evidence of effectiveness. That requires trials and lots of time, and there is also the issue of heavy regulations and insane costs as soon as the word "treatment" is dropped into the mix. Then there is an extra hurdle for coverage of psychiatric treatments.

Assuming this is a real thing and not anecdata, expect ketamine to be covered in Europe long before it's covered in the U.S. Unfortunately our system is a huge mess and incredibly slow and expensive compared to Europe when it comes to approving new treatments.
Because the people willing to pay Google for their service don't mind the use of their pictures to better their services elsewhere. Google didn't get to be where it was without us , and the fight for privacy isn't worth it for some (most) people. Alternatives usually involve self hosting, trusting a privacy focused service , or not doing it at all. It's tiring. I respect the effort , but In a lot of ways it feels like going backwards.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court recently ruled in favour of American Express, saying businesses are not allowed to pass higher charges of accepting AmEx to consumers with a surcharge. (AmEx's agreement forbids merchants from charging a surcharge).

While not directly analogous, the Supreme Court believes that agreements by duo/tri-poly players mandating businesses charging specific prices (or the lack thereof), don't cause consumer harm.
I'm pretty sure that at no point did anyone sit down and say "let's charge drivers for trips". It's clearly the unintended consequence of real product decisions, but it's equally clearly not a new strategic direction to bill the supply side of the market.

It's terrifying because it illustrates the lack of trust that the general public has in tech. Instead of "looks like someone's having a bad day at the Uber office, guess they'll fix it soon," it's a plot trialling a new form of exploitation. Two replies in, someone wants to nationalise the company. That's a lot of lost trust.
Relatedly, I like the Human Era notation for expanding the idea of years, where 1 AD is equal to 10,001 HE to denote approximately ten millennia since the start of human cities and agriculture, i.e. civilization. We're living in 12021 HE now.

I've studied some of these, in varying depth. But it honestly seems like we've built a tremendous amount of impressive technology that currently has very little impact outside of its own ecosystem, in terms of enabling new industries or consumer services.

I have only surface-level knowledge, but wasn't this case because Huawei was selling components to Iran? Or was it related to spying?
I also have sporadic advertisements on my start bar (when I press the win key), sometimes it suggests an app, which looks just like any other app, the only difference is a "SUGGESTED" header which is easy to miss. I assume when you click on that, it opens the store app.

It appears at the very top and AFAIK there's no way to disable it.
Crypto gives the ability for the community to actually control and be confident they won’t get slowly squeezed out, because you can actually codify control. So no, you can’t do that with a traditional company. And I’m somewhat sure it’s not legal to pay users in micro shares of common stock, but even if it was, you have the same issue of the stock having almost no value as it could at anytime be devalued as the company has total control. Again, it may be possible, but crypto makes it obvious and easy and strongly enforced, whereas some sort of legal paperwork setup will never achieve the same confidence.

And your final response is an absolutely perfect example of cherry picking. I said VC, you reply with index funds. Laughable.

Trump sues outlets for speculating one of his sons has autism. "Many such cases" may hit close to home here. And a cute test: how much are you willing to bet (hard $) to back this a-causality?

> Or about global warming being a hoax by the Chinese to harm US manufacturing.

Global warming is used by the Chinese, in the sense that they completely ignore it, while fostering climate change activism in Western countries, so to reduce their energy footprint from within, and gain unfair advantage.

> All you can safely conclude is that Trump saw a YouTube video or a website or TV commentator that claimed that, and uncritically accepted it.

Trump was clearly not the best to give that conference. He was leaning towards his science advisors, to fill in the gaps. They told Trump about potential methods using UV-rays or disinfectants.

I too would tell the president if I knew about advances in research such as https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8346001/ (Inactivation of respiratory syncytial virus by detergents and disinfectants, 1993), but still hope that he does not run with it and shoots it from the hip. Maybe that was too much to hope for. But don't let people 20 years later remember the lie that "Trump said to inject people with bleach to cure COVID". There is plenty of other embarassing true stuff.

To answer your last question first, crypto clearly is a superior platform for finance, exactly because of the explosion in "self-referential shell games" - it's in fact an extreme democratizer of "finance" - anyone can create their own liquidity pools, it's trivial to create not just CDOs, but CDO2s, 3s 4s, and they all run 24/7 forever. (no, this does not have much relevance to "real" economic activity, but this is true of almost all financialization and the more people that people understand that the better, IMO)

Now for some of the more useful/interesting stuff I've seen:

Gitcoin has been pioneering Quadratic Funding for open source projects for some time now: https://github.com/gitcoinco/quadratic-funding

They recent launched a governance token and DAO (many other projects have been experimenting with various types of on-chain governance models).

Both of these pursuits are widely applicable for creating sustainable models for funding and managing distributed common good projects.

Brave has over 25M active users and has built a model on their token to pay website users and creators for ads, as well as allow in-browser tipping, etc.

Many DeFi projects are experimenting with various novel forms of tokenomics (hold X tokens to access Y features; yield earned w/ Z tokens accrue to the developers) which are interesting alternatives for creating sustainable development/operational models for software.

There are projects that are doing interesting work bridging digital and physical assets (particularly in harmonizing the legal mechanisms for property) like Mattereum, but I'd argue even the simplest types of digital-only tokenization become interesting when it can be made composable with other dapps (eg, fractional ownership of projects that can later be made liquid on the open market or that can be collateralized). This ties back to the domain of not just coordinating, but incentivizing distributed collaboration/human resources.

Right now, we have some manufacturing for N95 masks that started in 2020 and predictably they’re struggling.

Culprit? Dumping of masks into the local supply chain by China.

It’s insane what we’re allowing to happen.

I was in total agreement with him - you can in theory run the algorithm by hand.

Some of us like eat beef and watch Korean dramas in Netflix. Also, some of us have mortgages and large families. So, hinting that the solution to this absurd surveillance society is to live off the grid is disingenuous.
It was selling components to Iran.
In the meantime the US prints 6 trillion dollars out of thin air - which seems at least as fraudulent as some crypto projects.

I wonder if modern rates of depression are normal, and we're just diagnosing cases more accurately, or if more people are becoming depressives.

I haven't got data, and I'm not an expert in this field, but it feels to me like the latter is what's happening. If this is the case, I wonder what is causing it, and how it can be remediated. I don't remember so many people being depressed when I was young.
The functionality seems to be general-purpose, with the branch target being hinted at by providing the location of the branch and the input registers that can be used to calculate the address. However, based on how this is implemented it looks like there is only one place you can use this and Apple is going to use it for objc_msgSend, although its use in WebKit might mean that JavaScriptCore has uses planned as well.
