The DeFi tech is real, but early. Vitalik Buterin is a really good leader for Ethereum and development.

This is a worthwhile list to read through: https://danromero.org/crypto-reading/

The main issue for outsiders is that the industry is surrounded by snake oil salesman and people that don't know what they're talking about (the 'evil central bank' types), but the underlying tech is real and the potential is real (imo). If you look at it quickly you might dismiss it all, but I think that'd be a mistake.

The ability to manage decentralized state is very cool, but there's a lot to build to make it viable (and as a result, there's a lot of opportunity). When something is hard, there's often value in making it easier.

There's also a lot of stuff in legacy finance that requires humans to do and is slow. Multi-day financial transfers for clearing and high associated fees for wires (at some banks) - crypto options are much better and modern implementations of the legacy stack. The current state is still a bit unstable, and the UX is a disaster, but the future is clearly better (imo) in a way legacy systems will have trouble competing with.

As an aside, 'wealth inequality' is a feature you want in effective capitalist systems (you can still protect the lower bound). http://paulgraham.com/ineq.html

In 1999 a lot of people recognized the value of the internet (though many still dismissed it [0]), but there was also a lot of dumb money and failure - loud people who didn't know what was going on. The web obviously became extremely economically relevant despite all of that. There's some similar potential here - I think it'll just take a while to shake out.

[0] "By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s." -Paul Krugman (1998)

Irony of the above quote is it's wrong on two levels - the internet, but also the impact of the fax machine (also huge).
I remember seeing a video by Louis, where he talked about speaking to a lawyer. He was told to pay a fine, instead of going through the legal trouble. It would be both easier and cost him less, because it would probably happen again, and then he would have to lawyer up again.
I wish they would do studies like this with children / teenagers.

In an adult, handwriting is going to be ingrained in their brain because they have been doing it their whole life. It is a part of the language processing their brain does, and it makes sense that tapping in to that helps their brain learn faster.

I want to see if the same is true for children who type way more than they handwrite. Is there something innately better about handwriting, or is it just that the brain learns better using ingrained methods?

This. There's so many ideas and theories on diets, but it seems the bottom line is, are you eating more than you're burning?
Hah, not that Tether crap again (in TFA)!!!

The author completely misunderstands not only Bitcoin, but also economics. To mention just one point, where he complains how only 10,000 addresses (which could be 10K or fewer people and organizations) own 60% of bitcoin.

How does it matter to me as a saver or user of money, how many people own how much gold, or silver? It doesn't matter at all. I acquire it at market price, I hold it, and then I sell it at market price.

Bitcoin is a failed cryptocurrency, but for completely unrelated reasons and you won't read about that in the author's blog - that's for sure.
"That is well known and undisputed."

Unfortunately, loads of people in this very thread are disputing it. This submission is based upon the bizarre hope that there's a mysterious external influence that's actually causing people to gain weight, and not the merely coincidental simultaneous rise in caloric intake.

The psychological element is complex and profoundly difficult. That is without question.

> we simply eat too much

Hear, hear. I dropped ~70 pounds just by learning my portions. It took about 6 months, but now I can just look at a plate of food and separate out the amount that will fill me, before I even start to eat (the 2-fist rule is a good start). I can make 2-3 meals out of a typical restaurant dinner portion, or I can just order an appetizer as my meal if I'm not taking leftovers.

I dropped another ~20 pounds by cutting out processed foods, preservatives, and chemicals. I likely won't eat something that I couldn't otherwise make a home using whole ingredients.

Restrictive diets never worked for me. I eat whatever I want, whether it be loaded with carbs or fried. I just make sure to include plenty of fiber in my diet, only eat when hungry, and never over eat. It's the only diet that I've been able to sustain for more than a year (~5 years now, to be exact).
The 4th scenario (going the wrong way down a one-way road because FSD misinterpreted the sign) is especially scary, as that has the highest likelihood of causing a fatality.

You’re right on the not selling data directly. I should have been more precise.

Google is in the business of collecting data and selling advertising using that data. For the purpose of making money.

Search hasn’t been part of their purpose in decades.

Let me ask you this, has search gotten better or worse in the last 5 - 10 years?
Has their data collection gotten more invasive or less over the last 5 - 10 years?

I think we both know what kind of company Google is once those questions are answered.
My understanding is that similar form similar function controlled substance analogues are generally also controlled. They have to be a very close analogue though. For example salvinorum is not controlled but LSD is because they are chemically and functionally worlds apart but if you made an LSD substitute that only differed by a few atoms and activated the same receptors I believe, in the USA at least, it would be illegal.

Second is the issue of unregulated chemicals as the article brings up. This is also true of e-cigaretes. Neither ecigs nor a broad class of other ingestible chemicals like vitamins or herbal suplements lie in the FDA baliwick because they are neither considered food nor drug. This is a problem.

Last on a deep dive on the web several years ago I found some evidence that seemed to link ecigs to unsavory characters like for example possibly to the "process church of the final judgement." I am nowhere near certain about the validity of this link. It is probably bullshit but the point stands that anyway since they are unregulated ecig juice and other such things could be used for nefarious ends...

Government is lying down on the job by not regulating these things.

Then again, the paper only demonstrates "rotational invariance at large scales". So if anything, any associated conserved charge would only be conserved (and defined!) approximately, i.e. in the large-scale limit.
Speaking off the cuff, without knowing the insider details, but I would say OLPC helped pave the way for Raspberry Pi; Theranos helped paved the way for a lot of future blood testing companies (and let's hope discourage people from pursuing a secrets and patents strategy), et cetera.

That last sentence "USA fat people are overall uninterested in being thin" is pretty tone deaf. I would say that they are fundamentally failing to achieve their goal. Many have given up since they've tried (however unsuccessfully) since they were teenager with no significant results. Note that I have known several very overweight doctors so it's not just a "those fat people are ignorant about what to do". Losing weight is not as easy as deciding to lose weight, and the evidence of that is how few people manage to maintain their weight loss.

Treating this as anything other than a public health issue, rather than a personal failing is ridiculous.

"Before 1800, several million acres burned every year in California due to both Indigenous burning and lightning-caused fires, far more than even the worst wildfire years today. Tribes used low-grade fires to shape the landscape, encouraging certain plants to grow both for tribal use and to attract game."

100 sure, 114+? no.

Quick edit: the days are also quite a bit longer so while further south they might hit 100 and be fine, up here it was 100 for many hours nonstop. That's whats withering the plants. Heck, it's not even that unusual for Portland to toy with 100d in the summer, it's unusual to go that high for that long.

you're lucky, I don't remember a lot of times where following exactly this process did not lead to having to rewrite it 6 months later because it turns out that some user has some corner case which actually ends up requiring data going through that exact codepath in as little time as possible.

The whole philosophy behind HA is "local only as much as possible".

There are a few analytics modules that report back which integrations are in use so that they can help focus dev efforts but those are optional. They also have a cloud service that can be used to help expose your instance externally if you don't want to run a local nginx and expose your home network to the outside world, but even that is not a way for them to monitor the devices you're running.

Plenty of people run HA with absolutely no access to the outside internet (like, the host is firewalled from communicating outside the local network). Plus it's all open source so you don't need to trust anyone, you can look at the code if you want.

Did One Laptop per Child truly fail as a startup? It was always a nonprofit, so of course it didn't make money.

While the technology was lacking in many respects, it did serve a lot of children at the time, and proved the market that Chromebooks came to later dominate with a similar approach (linux-based OS with minimal resources at $100-300 price point).
It seems that the alternatives also don't scale, that's sure why this discussion is happening.

Vivas work,they are just expensive. The alternatives are cheaper but don't work.

How to treat it as a business decision:

What liability do you actually have?

How will a forming a business entity protect you from actual liabilities?

What additional liabilities will forming a business entity incur?

How does the ongoing cost of maintaining a business entity effect cash flow from the business?

I'd put it this way. Building an app isn't usually a path to forming a 'real' business. Most apps don't generate any cash flow. Very very few generate the few hundred dollars a year it costs to incorporate in California.

Forming a business entity is easier than finding a revenue model. And finding a revenue model infinitely more important.

The problem is agrarian society itself. It is by definition, a sort of cancer that converts the environment into a food surplus, leading to an increase in population, leading to more food being produced, to more population, to... I think you see the point.

No other species on our planet does this, because the food chain system has constraints to prevent feedback loops- it's why apex predators are very low in population. We're a unique type of predator because while, we are not immune to death from any number of sources, our sheer ability to increase our population thanks to exploiting the environment outweighs any defenses the global ecosystem has been able to muster so far. Nonetheless, things seem to be heading in the direction of (population) collapse, but to what extent and how soon, it is hard to tell.

It's the difference between a monopoly by law rather than by economics.

If the local power utility is a private monopolist, there is still a limit to how abusive they can be before people will e.g. install solar panels, or buy a generator.

There is no limit to how abusive the local licensing bureaucracy can be because no matter what they do to you, no one can set up a competing licensing system that you can use instead. There is no equivalent to generating your own power.

And voting doesn't work when the affected people are a minority of the voters. The government could imprison everyone in the state of Nebraska and no one in Nebraska could do anything about it if the people in California don't care enough to vote in somebody else. They are in fact already incarcerating more than that many people without anybody stopping them.

It also doesn't work when the voters are misinformed. For example, the people of New York (and several other blue states) consistently pay more in federal taxes than they receive in federal programs, yet their representatives continue to support high federal tax rates. Even if you support those programs, those constituents would be significantly better off if they were state rather than federal programs, and don't seem to notice this.
Don't have mandatory licenses.

Voluntary licensing schemes seem to work well for the professions that have them.

"Screw you I'm just not getting a license my work stands on it's own without your overpriced seal of approval" provides a nice backstop to rent seeking and other bad behavior by the licensing authority.
