I'm clueless on this subject, so bear with me. Do you have an opinion on Binance offering 125/1 leverage?

Anarchists prioritize not forcing anything on others

That's pretty much what I meant. Bottom up democracy is one thing, but if people can opt-out of the results of that democratic process then things can fall apart, and an inability to opt out goes against anarchist principals:

Does everyone in a Canton agree? If not, it's rules are still imposed unwillingly on some. Aren't there still rules imposed upon the entire population that each Canton must observe?

Although I admit that was oversimplifying in my prior comment when I characterized anarchism as simply one thing. There are multiple schools of thought, and I suppose that not all of them reject all aspects of the "social contract". They do, however, exist at the extreme end of the balance I mentioned.
As far as I understand patents still have to be "novel", i.e. new. You can't patent something that is already known to the public, otherwise people could start patenting chairs and sandwhiches.

Patents are meant as a reward for making an invention, the deal being that you get a monopoly on this new invention for a while and in exchange you have to tell the public how to implement your invention. If you could patent known things that would defeat the whole point.

What changed is that until recently the US operated under a first-to-invent principle, so if two people invented the same thing and they both wanted a patent on it, the one who invented it first would get the patent. As you can imagine, proving when you invented something can be quite difficult at times, and the whole process can be messy. First-to-file just means that in such a situation, the first person to file wins, which puts the US rules in line with other countries and makes things much simpler.

Fauci pretty openly stated that he moved the goalposts based on public sentiment regarding vaccination, not better knowledge of the virus. It has been very frustrating watching policymakers who really should know better (mask debacle, anyone?) repeat the same mistake of sabotaging their long-term credibility for short-term PR reasons.

> "When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent," Fauci said. "Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, 'I can nudge this up a bit,' so I went to 80, 85."

> He continued: "We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent."

But then again, we’re talking about people paying actual money to have these devices in their homes.
Here are just a few things which come to mind – I’m sure there are others:

Flood with volume so there isn’t audit capacity & the time limit expires without a challenge.

Bribe the auditor.

The auditor turns out to be you under an alias.

Setup a mix of legit captured CO2 and something cheaper so when the auditor checks the easiest part to reach it appears valid.

Find something which will trigger the cheapest tests but costs less. Pocket the difference.

Truck the sequestered material from site to site, spending the proceeds long before anyone catches on.

Rely on the fact that since the auditing appears to be completely optional, most people will choose not to pay for it.

Bet on auditors being selected for being as cheap as possible and find the ones who will pass anything plausible.

Flood the system with fake challenges until people demand something like a quorum vote which increases the odds that someone won’t scrutinize your business too closely, or you and your pals try to convince everyone to adopt a more secure fork.

The key thing to remember is that a system which tries to be money is effectively its own bug bounty and it’s much harder to fix problems. Once you have money at stake every angle of the system will be under attack, and the security will come down to the real-world institutions backing it. Blockchains prevent silently rewriting history but that’s only one of the potential things people will try if there’s money at stake.

This only makes sense if tenants are a liability, because you get property value increase + rental income. As long as renting doesn't decrease the property value by more than the net rental income there's gotta be something else going on.

And if you don't want to manage a property, property management companies exist for that exact reason.
Can you buy a sample battery?

The announcement is suspicious. "100 hours" is not a meaningful number for a battery. The numbers you want to hear are KWH/Kg, KWH/m^3, max charge and discharge rates, number of charge/discharge cycles before storage drops off, efficiency, and cost/KWH.

"That project, announced in May last year, was originally due to be a 1MW/150MWh demonstration plant capable of outputting 1MW for 150 hours straight" hints that the discharge rate may be very low.

Previous work [2] indicates serious limits on charge/discharge cycles. Like 20-30 cycles.

> Please note that I am NOT saying that the US should ban it like China because that would be authoritarian obviously

Wouldn't be so quick with that label. The German basic law plainly states "Preparatory schools shall remain abolished", with the straight forward justification that education is a universal human right, should be equally accessible to all, and there should be no privilege that funnels upper-class kids through the school system. (Which was the primary reason for the existence of the so-called Vorschule, before 1919).

Abolishing these kinds of systems and banning them seems honestly right to me and meritocratic.
Who are you trying to convince?

Nobody is saying Toyota are "going away". They will remain a major auto-maker, but I doubt they'll be in first or second place in 2030. It all depends on how quickly the economy car segment transitions from ICE to EV.

Toyota is a hybrid leader but an EV laggard. Their decision to dip toes into many electrification strategies is going to prove costly and wasteful.

> The Leaf is one of the best selling EVs in the history of EVs.

Despite being on the market for eleven years, it's already a distant second to the Tesla Model 3. Tesla sold more EVs in one year (2020) than Nissan has sold in a decade (2010-2020). And the future isn't looking bright: 2020 was the worst sales year ever for the Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf is much like the Prius was a decade ago, a darling of certain early adopters with near-zero mainstream appeal. But at least Toyota took their hybrid investments and successfully applied them to mainstream vehicles like the RAV4, Highlander and Camry. Nissan haven't leveraged their EV investments, they squandered them.

> The reality is Tesla is raising prices again and again

Tesla have been raising and lowering prices as their costs have changed. Recently the cost of raw materials like steel, aluminium, copper and lithium have skyrocketed.

This is what happens when you don't have a network of dealers: you can't conceal month-to-month manufacturer price fluctuations behind dealership negotiation.

> Meanwhile Volkswagen is reducing prices on the ID.3 and ID.4.

Because they flopped. For all the hype surrounding their launch, ID.3 and ID.4 are outclassed in nearly every respect by equivalent EVs from Hyundai—including range, efficiency, performance and driving dynamics. Teardowns of the ID.4 have shown that MEB isn't even a real EV platform. It was all hype.

The US has the highest rate of gun violence in the world, so why do people think that the US's incarceration rate won't also be staggering? Am I missing something here?
We're not talking about the actual middle of nowhere here. There are plenty of towns or smaller cities in the Midwestern US or the Canadian prairie that are still nice places to live but have downtown commercial districts which have shrunk over the last couple decades, and are now adjacent to functional main streets and held vacant by landlords who think commercial tenants will at some point be willing to pay the same high rents again.

Amazon, e-commerce, and remote work mean towns can be growing at the same time as their central business districts are shrinking.
tbh I am more into options trading than crypto.. I know that Binance is facing an increased scrutiny worldwide, in some countries (like the UK) it's outright banned..

The key thing to keep in mind regarding Binance is that there is a HUGE counterparty risk, so if Binance goes bust all your positions won't be recovered.. This lack of safety is a major concern for both investors and regulators. Plus Binance was completely non-transparent where their capital buffer would come from..
Yeah, you're not wrong, but that's also caused (at least partially) by poor situational eyesight.

Picture your main drag coming out of town. It has the big stores, chain restaurants, etc. the older stores, closer to town, have been closing for the last twenty years. Kmart, Family Video, Value City, Circuit City…

The buildings sit empty. Forever. One might briefly become a Halloween store, or a cube storage place.

Instead, new stores are added to the end of the road. Causing the end near town to become abandoned.

But it is used by retrocomputing enthusiasts. Linux has been supported by them for the platforms they care. They gladly hold up the bar “now you have to support Linux yourself”, with C compilers already existing and being supported by someone else. With Rust becoming a build-time dependency, things suddenly turn into “you're not getting any Linux until you port rustc to your platform and then make sure it's working there at all times”.

This seems similar to universities eliminating the SAT.

Are they revoked or redeemed at any point, or is this just a one way street?
This is an excellent article. You should be able to choose a browser and then use it in all situations. Google Search only using Chrome, Apple only allowing their own browser, Facebook and others pushing us into their own in-app browsers, all of this makes things worse for users.

One thing my parents did, was sit me down and say, what career do you want and what are the potential salary earnings? From there we backed into loan payments and how long I would be owing. That changed my choice of schools from a super popular destination college to more modest community and state choices.

This seemed just like common sense... if you're going to borrow money, will you have the means to pay it back? These conversations need to be had.

I'd be happy with an E2EE solution that could be deployed on a cheap VPS. Unfortunately, all the photo and video hosting solutions I've come across lack E2EE. Building it out myself is a daunting prospect because it would mean putting together mobile apps for both Android and iOS that supported it as well.

It should be fairly trivial to deploy a number of existing FOSS photo hosting solutions to a server in your house though. Syncthing should make for trivial replication between the local instance and one at a relative's house. It recently gained support for E2EE (ie untrusted servers) so you could even throw it up on a cheap VPS as an extra backup and to allow for more reliable distribution between nodes. There's no bandwidth aggregation to be had here with current tooling though.

One point that the paper does cover is what states in the United States have the greatest rates of obesity. These states are those situated between the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian mountains. Particularly those along the Mississippi river (page 20). The states that produce the most potatoes are on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, separated from the Mississippi, and have lower obesity rates. I did not see that this was made explicit in the paper though.
