Thanks for sharing Urbit, it's super interesting...

...and it's also awful.

I get sad when I see an idea that I like implemented to poorly. It sucks oxygen out of the room, or poisons the well, or whatever.

I think I basically want Deno with a decentralized ID / DNS system that has nothing to do with the hierarchy or Urbit... And using capability modeling for different apps... And with something like Wire Guard for end-to-end encryption... That feels like a federated version of Sandstorm.io...

That's what I'm daydreaming about.
> It is possible for customers to take out USD stable coin loans from Celsius, under the condition that they provide a Bitcoin or Ethereum collateral of at least twice the value of the loan.

How does one provide Bitcoin or Ethereum collateral? Wouldn't you have to give away your private key (maybe in escrow), or transfer coins to them?
Funny that everyone says ASML....because it's one of the only company's in the whole tech-industry where europe is leading.
The Most Trending Topics of Google in 2021
As most of the years, this has been an eventful year. Things have become better in many cases and they became worse in others. 8 billion doses of vaccines have been used, which is 1 dose for every person. The US finalized its longest war ever in Afghanistan after 20 years and Tesla became a $1T company after Hertz’s mega purchase of 100,000 Teslas. Of course, Elon Musk tweeted that the deal wasn’t final yet because he doesn’t care and he knows things will work out. Below are what Google Trends shows regarding the searches in 2021.
Yeah but who would enforce a contract in such a case? The previous owners, working now at Twitter?

> Well its % based so its already progressive as in you pay far more if you are richer. So if you want to also pay higher % if you are richer.

This is just flat out wrong. With a flat tax you don't pay a higher % if you are richer, you pay a higher amount.

It stings just as much to lose 10% if you make 1k/month as when you make 100k/month. Whereas with the latter you're left with 90k, arguably much more than needed for a comfortable life, so you could easily pay 30% without a noticeable change in your life quality (or future business endeavors).

Of course if you have a shitty government then subjectively any tax is gonna go to waste and this is a pointless discussion. We're talking about an imaginary society here where we're making things better through a simpler system and the government can actually get things done fairly efficiently.

I simply believe the answers lie somewhere in the middle. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Redistributing the taxes sounds like a good idea whenever we're talking "punishment taxes", but... you also need to consider who has to take care of and pay for the mess created (if someone pollutes a river). So from that perspective the opposite makes sense, that the "punishment taxes" goes to the state, to fix things.

Ultimately I think it's a question of size of society/government. A small enough society is self-organizing. The larger it becomes the more structure/regulation it needs to not break apart, and at some point it becomes inefficient. We just need to watch out for increasing complexity, and make active efforts to reduce it (that's something few world governments are doing right now).
Can confirm this approach works, based on my experience over just year or so. Have not blocked the landing page recommendations but I'm never logged in. And so they default videos are so outside of my taste, it's easy to ignore.

Ask HN: $1m+ Forgiven PPP Loan
Several businessmen I know have had PPP loans that are forgiven, including one who got a payout over $1 million. Not one of their businesses actually lost money, so this just ended up being extra profit. Outside of restaurants and entertainment, it seems that the PPP loans were just a massive payout to the rich. How can we prevent such wasteful government handouts in the future? How can I avoid being demotivated as an entrepreneur when I see guys getting million dollar government payouts when I have to hunt and scrap to get deals in private enterprise? Is this just the end of capitalism?

No doubt some pitches do claim that AI will increase perceived IP value, but for an investor to go from perceived IP value to the conclusion that people are not involved seems to be a completely unjustified conclusion, and I see no evidence that people are actually thinking this way. Furthermore, I have no idea how you think this line of thought justifies calling 1913's very primitive autopilot technology AI.

In my state, we have ~10k hospital beds. There are currently ~450 covid patients that are hospitalized and that's actually significantly higher than last week. I think a lot of places are pretty close to that situation now.

Of course, total hospital bed utilization is still over 80%, but overwhelmingly its non covid.

It's worth considering the relative sizes tho: the Chines government alone holds 11 trillion dollars in treasury bonds[0], the total US debt is about 28T.

Evergrande's USD-denominated debt is 20 billion, even if they wanted to cash it all out rather than just refinance it I doubt it would be such a huge wave.

Panicing investors fleeing to the USD safe haven seems more likely to cause trouble.

Not necessarily. AAVE and other DeFi lending protocols maintain collateral by locking ETH or wrapped BTC in a smart contract. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s not the case here.
It's almost entirely "used." The places that look "empty" are pasture, fields, private timberland and national parks, and the few remaining pockets of actual nature should probably be left the hell alone.
This is true for certain kinds of tasks, particularly programming or anything very instruction-oriented. However, for practical tasks, like installing a bathroom faucet, a short and succint video is gold. Now that YouTube has chapter labels, it's even better.

This seems so common to me and it’s surprising how many of these ventures are around. And that they haven’t busted yet.

I looked at these a few years ago when the 5%+ returns started popping up and they are all unregulated, not fdic insured, and seem to survive on bitcoin’s ever increasing rise.

If these returns were true then institutional investors would use them. But they do seem like they should have collapsed years ago.

Maybe they aren’t run by scam artists but by people who earnestly believe that they can make money by mining and pawn it off as returns.

But not being audited is such a terrible signal. It’s weird that anyone would genuinely buy into these.
Now that I'm a freelancer that works from home, yes.

Unconventional lifestyle choices aren't directly frowned upon, but the less your superiors think you're one of them, the worse you're prospects of "getting ahead in the game" are.
No way.

5+ years ago, I'd have been more myself but with today's politics it's not worth it. I don't think I've ever said anything wrong, but I used to occasionally express opinions and make jokes with the teams I got chummy with. Nowadays I'm pretty sure everything I say has potential to be misinterpreted and potentially be used against me. I used to like being social on Slack but I make it a rule these days to use Slack minimally and to significantly reduce or eliminate unnecessary socializing. No, I will not be attending after-work socials and I won't be going on team lunch outings all the time. When asked about anything remotely controversial, either I'll not say anything or I'll be the greatest fence-sitter that ever lived.

In all honesty, maybe it's for the best. I'd rather work be a place where we show up, do work, get paid, and go home. As much as I miss some of the good times I had socializing and having others actually get to know me, there's really no reason for me to express myself in that setting or have others express themselves to me.

> Friend Camp is anti-free-speech, at least in the sense that freedom of speech is commonly understood as a value. This is repulsive to some people on both the left and the right, and it's important that people with that core value find somewhere other than Friend Camp to set up their online home

I like this perspective because free speech is considered fundamental to the point that if you don’t uphold it, you’re considered a totalitarian. Not having an absolute view of free speech is what we would call a more nuanced view. Although I wouldn’t want a University, the ACLU, or Facebook taking this view, I think it’s fine for a small community to take it and is one of the things that can attract people to small social networks.
I don't. Would having faces hidden increase privacy, or would more well hidden radio transmitters/receivers decrease it?
People lied on their mortgage applications, claiming to have incomes and assets they didn't have, so that they could take out massive loans they could never repay. The loans were structured to have low payments initially and then larger payments later, which the fraudulent actors were ok with because they expected to flip the house before the larger payments were due. That is what caused the mortgage crisis.

To pretend that people committing fraud lost out "through no fault of their own" makes no sense, it's entirely their own fault. Legitimate buyers wouldn't be impacted- if a person buys a house to live in it, and pays for instance $3,000 per month, then the market price after purchase doesn't matter. They still live in their house and they still pay $3,000 per month.

Maybe you weren't around at that time, but there were a dozen different wildly popular TV shows about people flipping houses, people were buying houses with zero down payments, buying houses they couldn't afford because "real estate always goes up" and advice to "buy now and refinance in 6 months when the price has gone up" and all sorts of other greedy, speculative behavior. Houses in 2007 were the cryptocoins of the day, but with massive leverage by lying on mortgage applications.

This was something of a worst case scenario (and it was five years ago, so presumably things have gotten better) but it still underscores the need to carefully consider these tools before adopting them. Do they really offer enough (to your application) to be worth the associated costs in readability, performance, etc.

If the goal is to prevent mutation, maybe there are better ways to do that. If the goal is to really accelerate, it's worth testing. (At the very least, Clojure's vectors seem unlikely to provide a benefit if you're working with vectors of len<32.)
Also in a legal sense. The Celsius user agreement explicitly states that you are giving your coins to Celsius: you have no legal claim to them, you’re relying on the goodwill of Celsius to return them… meaning if Celsius goes under, your collateral is gone.

Crypto and NFT is one big ponzi scheme. Who on earth is spending $000,000s on a virtual ship?

I sense it is a case of somebody close to the NFT or virtual world buying the asset and making out it is a great thing and then selling it on quickly.

Many a scam involves somebody from the group buying something so the unwilling feel like it safe.

As always, don't be left holding the baby.
There are multiple folds.

1) For Evergrande itself, if it defaults on foreign debts, domestic lenders (banks, funds, individual investors) see this as a big crack on its promise to return investment. This might push them to ask for early repayment of previous loans, which only gets things worse for Evergrande.

2) Since Evergrande is one of the biggest realtors, investors naturally will reassess the risk factors for the whole industry. This will probably stop some funding from flowing into it plus higher interest rate. Again, this is bad for all players in the industry.

3) Realtors tend to delay payments to suppliers to enjoy some sort of "free loan". When things go bad, those payments are not going to be the first to be paid, if paid at all. Now the contagion moves to other industries and 1) and 2) are repeated there.

4) Now consider the banks/insurance companies/funds. People invest their money in these financial companies because they believe they can make money. Now that they actually lose money, investors are going to sell shares or/and withdraw money. This is actually the most vicious part of the cycle because financial corporations will have no choice but to fire sale some of their most precious/liquid assets (think US Treasury Bonds, stocks of favored companies such as AAPL/MSFT/GOOG, etc.) to cover the money withdrawn.

At step 4, if government doesn't step in, this will quickly (in maybe a few days) turn into a global financial crisis.
In the past few weeks the homepage changed radically and basically broke recommendations for me, even when signed in. TBH I was kind of bothered how quickly it would adapt to what I was watching, pushing me quickly down rabbit holes. However, with the new change it does not seem to learn very quickly at all, and every time I go there the same dozen videos or so that I probably don't want to see (but don't want to mark "Not Interested") are there. It really can't take a hint.

That, and it keeps finding away around my ad blocker. I used to use YouTube for jam/backing tracks to play guitar along to. That's completely broken if an ad interrupts it! Talking about dang frustrating.
Insulating a house built in 1700s is definitely not a matter of "put foam plates on the outside/inside". If you do that, you are likely to create molds inside of the building. Insulating old buildings is typically a specialized and highly delicate work that tends to be quite expensive. I live in a building from the 1900s and the insulation process would be fairly difficult.

Oddly enough, yes. I work at a big enough company where even my manager and my manager’s manager is meaningless. The team also has seasoned enough people to know just how little we actually are in the grand scheme of things. There’s some liberty in how we talk simply because we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

That isn’t to say we’re blabbering out intense politics or strong stances on social issues, but we are reasonably free to brush lightly on stuff.
