Bitcoin is obviously the top. But Ethereum and Cardano are 2nd/3rd and ETH is moving to PoS while ATA already is. Tether is 3rd and is a stablecoin, so it is PoS or PoW depending on the backing contract.

So quite a bit actually. We are talking hundreds of billions in market cap at least.
I've been thinking about the benefits of only writing E2E smoke tests which cover a small number of critical paths quickly. Seems like most of their problems came about because they wrote more tests than they needed, with higher coverage than was necessary.

> Why do we need to give them a tax break for keeping wells open longer than they otherwise would be?

This is Wyoming you're talking about, and Wyoming views the oil & gas industry positively (it's over 15% of the state's jobs). Wyoming's goal is not to see the industry die. The environment isn't high on their list of priorities.

Also, as a state with a population lower than that of SF, Seattle, or Boston for example, it's normal to see these specifically targeted tax breaks for small startups.
Pretty sure you’re thinking way too hard.
If you were doing research that led to a global pandemic that killed millions of people, would you then publish your results? I have a feeling that might not have the effect of showing you're "good for the next one."

Obviously the lack of evidence isn't proof that this happened, but I also don't think it's safe to say that it's proof it didn't.
Are they also going to have tax credits on unrealized investment losses? This seems so stupid.
Well, not to give away the plot, but two of the things that happen are the Y10k event and then the Y100K event. You’d think people would be well prepared but people are still people—there is a ton more legacy code each time and they don’t know if the fixes will really work until it happens.

** IRS noises intensifying **
Quickly skimming through the Wired piece, am I weird for not being that uncomfortable with companies like Coinbase managing your crypto? Or Namebase.io managing Handshake domains? Most people don't care about self-hosting/self-managing their stuff and just want something that works and is easy to use. With both of these (Bitcoin & HNS) you can still have 100% control over it if you choose to.

So what if 90% of people decide to instead trust a third party with their holdings (like 100% now do with banks)? A portion of Coinbases holdings are even insured[0], gasp. And with regular banks you're paying increasing amounts in "management fees" to maintain this insurance. Cryptocurrencies have proven that you don't have to have traditional layers of trust and that's where I see the technological breakthrough.

Disclaimer: Somewhat neutral about crypto in general.

Yes, this would be a pay for success contract. And a "prize" or outcome payment of $1b would not be necessary.

That's a much more complicated feature than you'd think.

What does the car do when someone cuts you off on the highway? You're going 60 mph and there's now an object 3 feet in front of you. The car doesn't know whether it's moving or not, it takes time to measure velocity.

Or if you're on one of those curved highway offramps with concrete barriers. There is legitimately an object directly in front of you.

Or if it's just a plastic bag that you can totally just plow into.

We can solve those problems, but it requires stuff like planning a route so you know if there are things in the path, and tracking objects around the car so you already know how fast they're going.

A naive "if object in front of car and impact will happen in less than X seconds" approach is going to misfire often, and people are going to rear-end the car when it slams its breaks at 75 mph on the highway for no apparent reason.

Because the Trump administration decided that along with a bunch of other offshore collaboration funding decided to pull the money (America First!). There's a Vincent Racaniello episode on Microbe TV that explained what happened there. I don't remember the episode but here's his channel:

I think if folks would listen more to virologists than the press they'd find out that it's incredibly difficult to engineer new viruses (that's actually in his coursework - also on his channel), but it's also incredibly difficult to create stable "gain of function" (for weaponising) which has been suggested as the source of SARS2 and that whole Wuhan conspiracy theory thing.
Checking out the Wikipedia page, it seems quite useful, but more observational (like, liked people do x, and that seems a contributor to their likability not a product). I don’t know how to translate that into a poster, though.

Lao is often use as a colloquial form of respect. So “ba” means “father”, so “lao ba” is kind of like “my old man”. “Lao ban” (ban meaning business owner / boss) is “boss”.

>>The incidence of recidivism is extreme

hmmm

>>The chances of a freed felon committing another felony are such that handing them .. a job in retail is very risky.

I wonder what could be a cause of recidivism, could it be we strip people convicted of crimes of any meaningful legal ways to provide for themselves there by ensuring the self filling prophecy they they will commit more crimes in our overly criminalized society...

It would amusing if it was not so sad and infuriating that people like you fail to see the plain logic trap you set....

>>>So what should be done?

That is both easy and hard

1. Decrminalization of society. Victimless "crimes" should not be a crime at all, if the State can not point to a human that stands up and says "This person did X to me" then there is no crime.

2. Actual rehabilitation including Job training. Less focus on punishment

3. Restructure Welfare programs to encourage family units, today welfare programs encourage single parent homes which leads to higher crimes.

4. END THE WAR ON DRUGS, which is really part of number 1 but I feel it needs to be restated.

5. Allow for a path to expungement, most states do not or it take 20 years, should be much shorter. With non-felony crimes being sealed instantly on release. With maybe a 3 strike policy for repeat offenders where after 3 non-felony convictions their record is public.

6. Re-Categorize felony class crimes back to what they were intended, VIOLENCE, legally any crime with more than a 1 year sentence is a felony, but decades of "tough on crime" laws has pushed all manner of non-violent offenses into felony levels of punishment.

That is a start... any 1 of the above would have a huge impact, sadly none of them will ever happen

Im getting CORS errors running this. Is this supposed to work with the example code or do I need to run a actual ngnix server?
I've always seen this as a weird argument. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and don't have the option to hold even if they wanted to. And those that have extra income will invest it in whatever gains them interest, with the explicit intent of not spending those funds in the short term. I don't see why crypto's deflationary properties would play any practical role at all. Well except that you could actually just hold your income (if you were paid in crypto) instead of having to go through the hassle of figuring out what to invest in.

Edit: But yeah, if only looking at those people who would refrain from investing in stocks and just hold crypto, then yeah, that would leave money out of circulation stimulating the economy. But just overall, for the normal person, it's a moot point.
It's easy to be a critic.
Well what were their predictions vs actual outcome?
Mostly making types more specific. Within a service, ensuring semantics are part of the type so they can be checked statically, and designing function boundaries so those semantics are part of the interface.

Between services, using standardized machine-usable docs (like OpenAPI and JSONSchema) to share those types in a well-defined way. This is harder because network boundaries are less flexible, but it does help a lot.
> "Well, they could have altered the proposal when they pursued funding elsewhere."

It isn't as simple as altering the proposal. You're speculating a very large and hidden process using sequences that were kept perfectly secret and have not been leaked, with virus backbones that would take considerable effort to create but which were never shared publicly (and kept perfectly secret before SARS-CoV-2 happened before there was any need for perfect secrecy). We have this leaked information from 2018 about the proposal with the WIV1/SHC014 backbones which leaked because it was not kept with perfect secrecy. Yet they managed to do all that work in perfect secrecy without any leaks. That is the hallmark of a conspiracy theory. It requires a bit of a time machine because Daszak would have to have known in 2018 to tighten up his "OpSec" in response to the pandemic that hadn't happened yet and leaks that hadn't yet occurred.

Things are also getting worse for the lab leak theory on other fronts, I just stumbled across this a few minutes ago:

If there's multiple lineages from multiple zoonotic spillover events that makes the lab leak theory a poor fit and will require a lot more mental gymnastics.

Specifically with fish, it depends on what you’re trying to fool with what.

Any commissioned agent - buyer's or seller's are incentivized for transaction to occur.

No one is acting in your (or seller's) best interest.

However either seller's agent keeps all the commission or split it with buyer's agent.
Which essentially you paying anyways, unless you find FSBO house.

So i don't think you're losing anything by having buyer's agent. Just use this person for what he/she is good at, make them work harder to give you information to help you to make an informed decision.

If your current buyers agent is lousy - call another one. You're not married to an agent. However seller is.

> We've made law enforcement into a thousand squabbling gangs of thieves

I think this should read:

This CAF stuff is an expected and reasonable byproduct of that starting condition.

You don't. Disband it. It's a recent creation, obviously a "failed experiment" (from the perspective of 'does LE promote a fair and safe society').

As noted above, according to research, the chance of a drug getting a new indication falls to almost zero soon after generic entry - see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33397471/. This is because you cannot enforce a monopoly price if there is generic competition: even if you use a method of use patent over the composition of matter, you can't stop patients and doctors prescribing the "old" drug off-label - suing patients and doctors is not commercially realistic. Therefore, there is a well-recognised market failure (see https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20140306.03737...) that needs to be addressed with new market incentives or financial models e.g. pay for success contracts.
Individuals can care or not care about self-hosting wallets, but besides the practical or theoretical concerns about some company having control over it is the fact that the original Bitcoin whitepaper begins with:

> A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

The underlying sentiment here, at least for me, is that crypto churns through thesis after thesis, pitching different usecases and value systems and benefits, and all of them fall flat, and the only remaining reason to be in it is idiotic "number go up" economics, hence the "store of value" thesis which describes everything from gold to dollar bills to a ham sandwich, and demands and describes nothing of the technology.

I have pulled an offer before*, but it was well after the candidate accepted it (not the next day, but a week and a half later they came back asking for more; that’s not the way to start off a business dealing).

Unless you were a colossal ass about the negotiations, I’d not pull an offer while we’re negotiating; we may not find a zone of agreement, but you’re not going to hurt yourself by negotiating in good faith for your interests.

* Legally, the accepted offer may still have been valid if the candidate wanted to force that issue. They’d have to be fairly crazy to do that, though.
The best summary of the word that I've seen is that its a lot like "gringo".
