I guess that’s one way to characterize the FAANG companies buying up startup-competitors to retain their various monopolies.
I had my first experience with it today. I used a yiddishism in a comment on a post about one of yiddish institutions and was greeted with a hate speech pop-up. IG is definitely going to purge quite a lot of colloquialisms with it.
On the east coast, or the rainy northern California coast, this might be true. Not so sure its true in the relatively dry forests of the Sierra Nevada.
What would make that an "alt-coin" as opposed to just being a dollar?

Same thing, different perspective. Though Blackwater doesn't seem to have tanks.
Because of the character limit, I think Twitter is more conducive to emotional outbursts (both positive and negative, but considering that it takes a lot more emotional energy to be positive than negative we see more negativity) due to the quick nature of it. It only takes a couple seconds to pound out 250 chars.
IMHO it’s a policy failure (for climate, economics, and equality) to make electricity so expensive people are less likely to electrify things like their car and heating.

The ratio of gasoline to electricity price in Germany is slightly smaller than that in the US, so the incentive to electrify is proportionally smaller. This is bad. We shouldn’t be paying for renewable energy subsidies via consumer electricity prices; the US does this right by funding it from the general budget instead, which encourages electrification.
The point is that your compensation should not be based on where you live, but how much value you add.

If you believe this, the 10% trade-off doesn't matter and is simply a distraction from the real discussion.
That's the bit of the dollar coin universe that freaks me out. The same behavior (which has happened with multiple participants) could be attributed to their:

1) Trying to avoid obviously falling under banking / financial / market regulations

2) Fraud

The travesty of the situation is that there's so much ignorant money in crypto that there's little pressure for them to actually clarify, even if they have the best intentions.

The market doesn't care, and isn't pushing them to do so.

From what I've been reading this is coming soon. If the population will accept digital IDs, it may become compulsory. Under this scenario negative rates, UBI and much more become possible.

Yep. .* and co will do anything to fight climate change, except let people that drive to an office to sit on a computer all day work from home.

sounds like they are trying to preserve a transparent employment market. They obviously think that remote employees are not as valuable to them, therefore they need to match the compensation to the labor value.

sounds like the dispute is really about the value of in-person vs remote employees. i'm sure everyone has their own opinion on that, but Google being Google, they may be thinking of certain non-tangibles for in-person benefits. Collaborative creativity, for example.

I'm not sure that's less of a scandal. Sounds a lot like dollarization, but on a small, private scale. They have a war chest, containing stuff other than USD, that can be used to defend their dollar peg.

So... what? When demand is high issue/sell USDT, and when demand is low liquidate securities, buy dollars to cash out USDT sellers? One side of that equation is notably different to the other.

It's a totally different game if you keep all outstanding cash on hand, in USD and can answer the question "what if everyone want to sell their stablecoins today?"

It's one thing to offer remote hires 10% less than local hires. But once you have the job, your compensation increase/decreases should be based on performance. It's a completely other thing to dig into your employees lives, peer into how they are spending their time, and deciding "eh, you don't need that much money anymore" and cutting their pay.

Bad is a vague term, I thought we were talking about data privacy and such whereas it seems you're talking about deplatforming. My mistake there, although I would say that, especially in the context of data privacy, you probably want to avoid bad things happening.

The car analogy doesn't really work, because you don't seem to be saying "TikTok is terrible but its the best we've got". In fact, you seem to be being quite combative with others when they say something along the lines of "TikTok is terrible", which oddly enough, is kind of negative itself. But maybe I'm just misreading things, emotion can be harder to decipher through text, so I suppose only you can know.

> With regards to AML: You can't tell if you're making progress if you don't have all the pieces.

Yes, I can tell there are many competent people working daily on the AML problems, more tech is created, more laws are created, more offenders get caught: and I dare call that "making progress".

It's actually a striving sector because financial institutions such as banks get fined for when they don't try their best and that itself creates a lot of budget to make even more progress.

> Your last paragraph is nonsense and your using it to justify your own identity. Your last sentence terrifies me. It means you have no idea whats going on either and have sold out or bought in to something you don't completely understand.

Have you heard of the "horseshoe theory" already?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory
Imagine a rope, and an infinite crowd of people wanting to play tug of war. If the rope is only 4 meters long, only a few people can tug, and the rope stays together. Now imagine the rope is 1 light year long. Say each person needs about 1 meter of rope, and 1 light year is about 9,5e+15 meters. So we can make two teams of almost 5 quadrillion people each, and they can start tugging. The rope is probably going to snap.

The space expansion effect is very weak at small scales, so it's easily overcome by small objects, such as a short rope (or a railway). But this small force acts on the entire object, so when the object is twice as long, it pulls twice as hard. When distances become extreme, it always wins. Imagine a railway where the the far ends are moving apart from one another faster than the speed of light. It's either an infinitely stretchy railway, or it's breaking (probably long before we got to this point).

>or asset with equivalent fair value

what's the difference between that and whatever tether's doing with their "commercial paper"? Are "US regulated financial institutions" prohibited from holding shady commercial paper?
Stagnant median household income in the US is largely a myth. It hasn't increased as fast as it probably should have (54k in inflation adjusted 2019 Dollars in 1984? -> 69k in 2019), but it has gone up a fair amount.

Expenses have increased, but the bulk of the impact is on higher income households. If you're lower middle class or middle class and stick with CC -> state college, your healthcare insurance premiums are capped by law and college is still comparably expensive, but certainly not the debt trap it's made out to be.

What has changed is how much easier it is to make stupid financial decisions. You didn't have access to easy debt in the 60s and 70s. This is a structural issue, but it's also a behavioural issue. If you make the right choices, you still can absolutely succeed financially.
I think I’ll just link to my comment from a past thread on this topic:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27640730

anon9001 was an extremely good sport about the trap they fell into, which most people do, when they don’t realize all of these “audited reports” are actually “attestations” which aren’t worth the pixels they’re rendered into.

If you’re confused about why Coinbase’s move is a big deal, there’s a good place to start... It’ll be great if A16Z/Draper/etc ever come clean about all of the regulatory cowboy nonsense they’ve supported and encouraged under the “backed by leading Silicon Valley VCs” label. Which is part of why this has gone on for so long, and why so many smart people assume nobody “real” will actually pay the price for fraud/unregulated activity/etc. Based on what we are seeing in terms of prosecutions and enforcements, that seems about right.

If the past is any indication, the crypto markets should actually trade higher on news of improprieties... Bizarro world we live in, with no adult supervision.

Is there a reason, other than the BeautifulSoup library, that Python is considered by many to be the ideal language for web scraping? I would think that JavaScript would be a far better choice since it could natively parse scripts on the page and libraries for querying and parsing the DOM have existed for a long time in JavaScript and are well known (to the point of being boring -- eg: jQuery).
Great list of the complexity encompassing a proper "GUI" framework. I feel like text / rich text / unicode alone is a huge project (if you include editing, especially of large documents).

However, one thing not mentioned in this list (which I feel is only becoming more important) is that a modern GUI framework also might want to support iPad / iOS / Android.

This complexifies the undertaking by a huge amount as the differences between macOS/win/linux are much smaller than the distance between, say, iOS and macOS. Apple has been going into this direction with SwiftUI where the same code can be run on different systems and behaves differently depending on the platform. However, by doing so, this "common denominator" of all platforms automatically reduces the flexibility of the framework as every "component" needs to be cut wide enough to intelligently behave correctly per platform.

>Definition of hypocrisy
>1: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel

After years of propaganda, debates and discussion for data protection and privacy rights for EU citizens, and approving such rights by law, you don't think it's hypocrisy that they approve a law that strips citizens from such rights.

They believe people have the right to have their data protected and to know what data is being collected, and demand collectors and processors to not hoard data and take only what is necessary. This is literally bulk collecting of chat logs and process them, without people consent.

I still don't get your point, there are no rights for citizens to use force, detain others or take land. At least in the EU countries I know. So what rights are being stripped from citizens?

It's the same if the USA government said they will abide by the people's rights to own weapons, but decided to ban the sales of all weapons so people can't buy them.
