This is apples to oranges. A Bitcoin transaction is a settlement, much more akin to fed wire than visa. Visa transactions are not settlements.
That’s a walk in the park

Most analog systems today are digitally simulated. No ADC is required.
You likely don’t need a standard phase three trial. If you are within the phase 1 safety dosages (that’s the data you’re using under 505(b)(2) anyway) you can just do a smaller study. Power it as high as you want/need. Typically any physician can do such a study. Doctors can read your paper on the study and decide whether to use the therapy you studied.
To be fair, that was also during the Counter-Reformation, or somewhat afterwards. Even if it was unrelated to the Counter-Reformation itself.
Thanks for the explanation! I'm actually working on a tool right now that uses a similar process, but haven't had much of a formal background. Looks like I'll be adding quite a bit to my reading list!
This is correct. China delayed a site visit for more than a year. And then when it happened they controlled what was said. And on top of that the only US representative was Daszak, since the WHO rejected a few other candidates from the Trump administration and picked someone who was seemingly favorable to the outcome they (or perhaps China?) desired. It is incredible that all these countries around the world didn’t immediately implement sanctions and a maritime blockade after such obviously untrustworthy actions in an incident that has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
There used to be pirates, there are still pirates. Various levels of institutionalization amongst humans. Doctors were traditionally solo practitioners, but there’s been a lot of consolidation there, particularly in cities. Software is pushing in the other direction, particularly with bitcoin. I mean you could even have a piracy stack as a meta layer on top of civilization. Kind of like the Mormons.

95% chance of not getting anything seems about right.

I had 0.5% of a startup that just went through a seed round, about 10 years ago. It got acquired by a larger startup that was "going to IPO." Reality is that larger company went through a few down rounds, got bought by a PE firm, barely paid back the initial investors, and I wound up with about $10K (profit.)

Next startup: as the first engineering hire, I got about 5%. After several down rounds, that 5% is now 1%. Several years later, the company valuation is barely 7 figures. I also invested some of my own money into the company (preferred shares) that have declined in value by 90%. I've since moved on, but the odds of even getting my investment back are near zero.

I've done far, far better investing in the stock market.
well over 90% of illicit purchases are done in fiat and you've really not been paying attention if you think those are the only benefits of crypto.

There's an entire country that uses crypto as legal tender. I could stop there, but there's more.

Fees are lower than credit cards charge, there are businesses saving money by utilizing crypto.

Sending money overseas is cheaper and more accessible with crypto.

The list goes on. I'm not sure how you've arrived at your position, but it is not an educated position.
The likes of Paypal locks your funds without explanation or appeal.

> Or at least, I did. For years. And then one day I woke up and realized I should've had kids about 8 years ago. It's a lot harder at 33. It means that by the time they're 18, you'll be so old they can barely relate to you. I try not to think about it too much or I'll get a bit sad.

It's a lot harder after 40, but 33? That's still a pretty prime age. The vast majority of people who I know with kids started in their early 30s.

> The real motive was that IVF costs $40k in America. $40k! Forty fucking thousand dollars to have a baby.

While your hourly rate as a contractor is decent, it's worth nothing that quite a few companies (including YC startups/unicorns) provide IVF with health coverage benefits.

I have had many years where my stock-based compensation and medical costs covered by insurance combined exceeded $100k/yr.

Yes, but "lao wai" is not actually a particularly respectful usage of "lao". It's usually said with the intent of excluding someone, which is inherently not a respectful thing to do. Respectful uses of "lao" are not used to exclude someone from the group.

If it is absolutely necessary to refer to someone's exclusion for logistical (e.g. visa, legal) reasons the usual way to say it is 外國人，外籍人，外賓, the latter of which is usually the most formal and respectful.

>>I have never met a human being who is anti–FDIC (what insures bank deposits in the US up to $250k).

you have met one now. I am anti-FDIC, and really anti-banking in general, as well as anti-KYC laws, and anti-anti money laundering laws...

I am very surprised that people are "very in favor" of KYC laws, which if true highlights the ignorance the people have about how these laws are used by government to abuse normal people. Take a gander over to the Institute for Justice who has any number of cases linked to these and other similar laws.

The big bad "terrorism" has replaced the 70's and 80's big bad of "Drug King Pins" to justify all manner of abuse by government to go over small businesses, and ordinary people all in the name of stopping some <<insert your bogey man here>>

>>For it to be used as regular currency you have to have price stability. No one wants to go to the grocery store and find out that they lost 10% of their budget on the walk over.

Maybe not on the walk over, and bitcoin is not really that unstable either. This idea that fiat money, and the USD in particular is stable is really laughable. This year especially where I have seen my average weekly grocery bill increase by about 20%, and I am buying the same things in the same QTY...

But I forgot the Fed says this is not the inflation I am looking for and just hand-waves it away... so it is all good. No issues at all with Fiat money....

> Cryptocurrencies have proven that you don't have to have traditional layers of trust and that's where I see the technological breakthrough.

Are you sure about that? Crypto forums are littered with posts of people having lost their coins due to some stupid mistake, be it a harddrive crash, a malformed transaction, a scam or even an actual hacker. Now, I'm not saying banks are perfect, but you at least have some hope to get your money back. With crypto, it's quite easy to loose it in the void.

And if your money is in an insured, legal exchange, managed by someone else, you're using a fancy stock brokerage with some extra payment options. It's cool, yes, but not a paradigm shift.
Most people involved in tech, including most devs, shouldn't need to know/care about Kubernetes. The reason anyone thinks otherwise is the massive amounts of marketing money vested parties have pumped into sales (read: DevRel/Dev Evangelism, dev influencers).

Bitcoin uses elliptic curves. Schneier has infamously forsworn them, saying he doesn't trust the math. He hasn't to my knowledge (admittedly limited!) published any analyses of elliptic curve systems. He didn't need to tell anyone he wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto.

Of course, it's also what not Satoshi Nakamoto would say!
Current fiber-containing submarine cables also have electrical lines to power inline amplifiers. Even fiber signals can't travel those kinds of distances without repeaters.
It’s so gross that they do this. When I worked at banks on Wall Street, they all had onerous approval processes for employees to trade. Pre-approvals that lasted for one day only etc. All these rules attempting to prevent insider trading. Amazing that these scummy Fed employees and congressmen don’t have any encumberence like that. So gross.
If burning a flag is speach, then so is shadow banning, deplatforming, cancelling, and the whole lot.

It does have a proof on pg 810, but it's still at the back of the book.
What is the word "still" doing in the title? People pay their rent to avoid eviction, and of course if you remove that possibility many will not pay and fall behind. Meanwhile landlords have property taxes and mortgages to pay. Ending the moratorium pushes tenants to get current on their rent or leave apartments they are not paying for.
Well of course they are months behind on rent, as the eviction moratorium didn't forgive anyone of rent that was due, it merely stopped the eviction process so that the due rent could continue to accumulate. In this way, the moratorium contributed to people owing more rent than they otherwise would have.

This is like saying "Millions of Americans still have credit card debt after law prohibiting cancelling of credit cards due to unpaid debts".

Not in any of the countries that have implemented PayID. (Most of Europe, Aus/NZ, and South America, with the US finally beginning to get on board this year).

It's a case of sending to a mobile phone, with instant-3days timeline, with a cost in 20-50c range for anything less than $10k.

The idea that Russia has a serious amount of influence in the US is a joke. What business leverage do they have here? The total trade between Russian and US is very small so the opportunity for economic leverage is low. How fearful is anyone to post anything negative online about Russia? Not very fearful.

If anything Russia is the victim of misinformation campaigns in the US, they are not the perpetrator.
Thanks to KYC, HSBC is in the news, and the real evidence provided by KYC about their transactions makes light of evidence to actually enforce a fine for allowing the money laundering operations. If it were crypto it just wouldn't ever be found out.

I realize landlords aren't viewed in a favorable light, but in addition to ~10M losing housing, it stands to reason that a decent percentage of those houses will go into forbearance, if they haven't already. So ~10M people will have a blemish on their renting record, and 10M - n houses will be auctioned off or sold. Where do those people live? Does this inflate or deflate the housing market prices?
> am I weird for not being that uncomfortable with companies like Coinbase managing your crypto

Maybe don't skim the article?

Because that is literally what it is about: trust. You claim to blindly trust a single point of failure. But traditional banks aren't the same: there are multiple levels of recourse and regulation.
> If I defamed/libeled you right here, right now and HN didn't immediately delete my post, would that make HN liable and hence able to be sued?

That doesn't matter, and that's not what I said. What matters is what section 230 says, not what you or I think should or shouldn't happen. What matters is that if you did so and I contacted HN and informed them that illegal material is being hosted and published on their service, if they made no reasonable effort to remove it, they would be liable. That is the only point I'm making. You're arguing against someone else's (hole riddled) point, not my point.

In your case I wouldn't report it because I don't particularly care, but in Stossel's case, he did and they left the content up. He has a leg to stand on, if, as you said, the fact check is found by the court to actually be libel.

FYI I'm pretty sure making a positive statement claiming intent to put illegal content on HN is a bannable offense, and if you actually did say anything libelous, regardless whether HN responded to a request, I could sue you, and win, because you've explicitly confirmed that what you may or may not say in response to this was in fact intended to be libel. I'm not a litigious individual and don't really care what you say about me, but being candid, this line of discussion you're engaging in is reckless and stupid.
Yeah but you think they'd save fuel and locally source the twigs
Afaik he doesn't actually have the full skillset required. He has the cryptographic and systems knowledge, but not the deep interest in or knowledge of monetary theory. The latter is prereq too.
An exchange can do exactly that, just like PayPal. Or simply disappear, for that matter. So you either buy that drawback and have the same system in a different skin, or you go for the self-hosting way and eat all the problems it brings (especially for non-technical people).

And the hard forks did happen. And they definitely undermined the whole model of what the coins actually should do.

The positive point, though, is that with crypto, the self-hosted side and the managed side can work together seamlessly, so everyone can choose their approach.
Has Microsoft contributed much to cURL? or Sony? Apple gets a bad rap for not contributing to OSS, and it is not warranted. Darwin, CUPS, LLVM, WebKit, Bonjour, Swift, ResearchKit, and I am sure there are other OSS projects to which they've contributed. I like cURL, but the end of this article comes off as passive-aggressive self-centeredness. This is the worst fundraising strategy ever. Mister... you really need to work on your closing technique. May I recommend rather than publically shaming and scolding the provider of cURL's largest install base and the richest company that ever existed, instead you consider humbling yourself, behaving professionally, and respectfully request their donation? Apple gave away something like a half a billion dollars last year to nonprofits. I don't expect they gave it to haters.
well, a lot of people manage not to.

the never give a number advice is good if you are early career and lack a track record or you have poor information with regards to your own value but terrible advice for most mid career developers who should have the tools to estimate their own worth (peers, levels.fyi, their current comp)

opening with a high but not unthinkable number is way more likely to maximize your comp than playing games and refusing to give a number. the worst case is they deem you not worth it and stop the process but if you are confident in your worth that is a good outcome for you

I do “ride” it daily. I just have never thought I need even more convenience or comfort than I already have from my $40 bidet. I need it for a few seconds then provide water, I wipe dry, and leave the bathroom.
One time, many years ago now, I was interviewing and made it through several rounds. The topic of salary didn’t come up until the end when I spoke with the CEO and she asked how much I was looking for. When I told her she laughed and said “I think we can do better than that.” And my entire world view shifted and I realized I’d been undervaluing myself for years.
This is my experience as well. I interview people fairly regularly, and I have very little say in their compensation. our HR dept. manages that.
Not quite: he doesn't trust the constants. That's a big difference. He believes based on reading secret Snowden papers that the NSA has manipulated them via relationships with the industry. There are other curves that are NOT from NIST, like C25519, that are popular. In fact, the twisted edwards curve computation variant is also growing, which isn't the "traditional" (does that even make sense?) elliptic curve.

Now that doesn't mean the NSA hasn't fiddled with C25519, but I'd be surprised if they mind-controlled (or extorted) Bernstein into publishing a compromised curve.
83b has reporting requirements (you've got to send it in within x days of exercise and again with your 1040 for that tax year, although the second one is maybe not super required: regulations say you must send it, but I think there's rulings that say otherwise), but QSBS doesn't really: you just say some of your capital gains (more or less) don't count on the QSBS form. Only if you're audited do you provide documentation.

There are plenty of fly-by-night operations that will smash and grab as many transactions as they can and not care about their reputations because they'll just set up under another alias.

Further, if your account/wallet gets compromised there is also no irreversibility. Whereas with the 'regular' banking system transactions can usually get reversed.

Thanks for correction!

Yes, it is possible to reformulate a generic but there's only a business model if you can prevent off-label competition (and a compounding pharmacy could also reformulate). This is what I mean by information about a treatment protocol for a repurposed generic / off-patent drug being a public good. What if your new use for the off-patent and or compounded drug was a very effective new treatment or cure for an unmet medical need? This is the real tragedy of the commons. It's not always possible to rely on reformulations, dosage or mode of administration to prevent generic competition, and could actually cause public harm if the patented reformulation of the drug is less safe or effective - see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-021-00999-0 . And it's possible to fix it with a pay for success or bounty model, as long as we can convince a payer agree to put a price on successful off-patent RCT data (e.g. $10-50k per QALY). However, this hasn't been tried to date.
That is the same EcoHealth which was doing it in Wuhan :

https://www.bbc.com/news/57932699

"That organization - the US-based EcoHealth Alliance - was awarded grants strating 2014 to look into possible coronaviruses from bats.

EcoHealth received $3.7m from the NIH, $600,000 of which was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

So, in early 2018 they propose specific modifications to the virus, and in the end of 2019 such a modified virus emerges right near their lab...

Btw, in their first $666K (with Wuhan getting $160K) 2014 tranche of the $3.3M grant award, the "Are Human Subjects Involved" is already "Yes" with IRB review already pending - see p.13 here https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21055989-understandi...

I from the start (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23340283) was saying that one of main reasons of doing it in Wuhan was the human testing.
I guess that's a theoretical question in the end, but it's definitely a valid point.
