I think I can answer your questions.

Background/Disclaimer: I'm long crypto and have significant assets in Gemini's Earn program, a regulated variant of crypto lending that pays 8% on their stablecoin, GUSD.

I found Celsius and Yearn to be too sketchy/inscrutable to bother with[1], so I'm not going to defend anything about them, only the narrower claim that (some) DeFi liquidity pools are a non-Ponzi, sane way to earn returns in some conditions.

Liquidity pools [2] function as automatic market makers, using their assets to allow traders to trade between two cryptocurrencies. As a liquidity provider, you lock up two cryptos in return for a cut of the fees it takes from traders; your cut is proportional to how much liquidity you contributed. Those pools expose an interface to the Eth network that lets anyone put one of the cryptos in and take the other out, with a pre-determined formula for how it figures the exchange rate. Its profitability comes from the extent to which this exchange (after accounting for both pool fees and Eth network fees) gives a better deal to traders than their other alternatives (like centralized exchanges).

Like any market maker, you face the risk of "impermanent loss" from the shift in relative value of the cryptos, as market makers make standing buy/sell offers which look stupid when the market moves against them. There are also setup fees and all the usual risks associated with smartcontracts. When you consider how long you have to leave them in the pool to make a profit, and those fixed setup fees, plus the opportunity costs of lending through other providers with less volatility[4], the returns (3-100%) just about barely compensate you for the risk.

I experimented with them starting about three months ago and made a presentation, for which you're welcome to see the slides (slide 7 summarizes the downsides):

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1BrMMbL5vOzdnkaPVj5mO...

Contra bhouston's claim [3], these LPs don't require ETH to perpetually gain value: as long as traders continue to use the pool, ETH could stay stagnant or even fall significantly and they will still pay a return, though a long-term fall would induce a big impermanent loss (in an ETH-stablecoin pool) that would take a while for fees to compensate you for. (Edit: Although I suppose you could argue that people won't keep trading between ETH and other tokens unless that speculation, in the aggregate, is merited -- but it's not a simple matter of the pools only being profitable as some kind of derivative of ETH's value.)

[4] For example, Gemini will lend out your GRT tokens at 6.4%, so that's your minimal return for this to be a good idea.

Here’s a larger study of ~30,000.

> Findings suggest that persistent physical symptoms after COVID-19 infection should not be automatically ascribed to SARS-CoV-2; a complete medical evaluation may be needed to prevent erroneously attributing symptoms to the virus.

It seems to me that we basically don’t know anything about Long COVID, up to and including its potential existence.
Yeah, I think you're right, keeping people motivated vs maximising productivity is key to get right.

There's also the angle of keeping your eye in with other languages, e.g learning or keeping your python skills up to date if you need to do a quick bit of scripting to automate a task (and you don't usually use python).

Splitting hairs here, Moderna and Pfizer were approved more or less at the same time and Moderna has shown itself to be the more effective vaccine. And we're talking about innovation in this thread, not which country is better at doing government paperwork (the Germans will beat the Americans on that one every time).
Thanks. So, I guess the story requires some commitment, right?

Considering that to this date blockchains and cryptocurrencies have not solved a single problem better than their "legacy" counterparts, I'd say the former.
I'm talking about the underage models. It's a bit different from kids self posting content, that then attracts creeps vs the underage models that have an entire organization/staff of adults that are taking photos and selling them.

I'm not on social media very much at all, but- my partner used to spend quite a bit of effort reporting Instagram accounts advertising this stuff. Reports were routinely rejected, and she eventually burned out on it. Meanwhile, misinformation is very actively and preemptively policed.

Yes, you'd probably have to seek it out. But, what was troubling is how it's just routinely ignored, despite reporting.
How are our clandestine agencies covertly or overtly helping us live healthier, meaningful, social-media-free lives?
> how can it guarantee the python shadowing rule? it doesn't seem to encode any order preference. does the code traverse the source file in the reverse order basically?

That snippet of graph DSL does not show the precedences being applied, but if you look at the diagram a bit earlier in the post, you'll see that some of edges do have precedence values applied. In the graph DSL, that would appear as an additional statement in the stanza:

attr (@function.containing_scope -> @function.def) precedence = 1

You don't give any specific examples, but is this really true? Is there anyone out there saying we should ignore the past and just move on? I think you'll find a lot of people saying that we shouldn't glorify and worship it, but none saying not to remember it.

Have you noticed the utterly laughable political pardons and ass-covering that surrounded the worst failures of that war?

In any meritocratic society, the political careers of the people responsible would have been over, and a few of them should have at least stood trial for crimes against peace. Even if they were ultimately found not guilty, this is the kind of sword of Damocles that whistleblowers tend to face.

Instead, the only person of import whose career was truly destroyed was Collin Powell.
I agree with this. It's something I think about a lot actually. Neighbor noise is the TOP complaint about that style of living. If you go on the subreddit r/neighborsfromhell well over 50% of the posts are about a disruptive upstairs/downstairs neighbor.

But it's not accounted for when building at all. It feels like this thing that gets hand waived away at every step of the process. It's personally why I feel like that style of living is off the table for me.
> Only at the federal level, which is not the majority of taxes for most people.

You are gonna have to cite some sources for this because my understanding is that total federal taxes is the majority of total taxes, if only by a slim margin.
Appreciate the reply. I guess it's all perception. If I was in my 20s, I'd have the time and desire to dig into it and figure it out. Alas, I'm in my 40s and between work and family I just don't have the time for those things. Maybe when my kids are a little older...
This is also one of the premises of Kurt Anderson's book "Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History". Although the scope of the book is large and argues that American's irrationality runs deep, he points out that since the 1970s or so American popular culture has become more and more inward looking, obsessed with reviving the past and remaking the old rather than creating new things (very much along the lines of what is described in the opening of this article).

On the technological and economic side, this also reminds me of the arguments in David Graber's article "Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit".

It is hard to argue with the fact the scope of truly new things is smaller than it was in say, the 1960s, when space flight and supersonic travel started, and popular culture was barely recognizable from the beginning of the decade to the end. People growing up in that era truly believed that at that rate of change, they would be living on Mars and working 15 hours a week and have a totally new organization of society by the early 2000s.

Generally agree. I wouldn't call the proposal an eyesore, but I can feel the larger font dragging my attention (presumably trained from 30 years of upsized headings) from the content. More padding might help or just stretching it laterally.
The few times I thought about moving to America, the thing that ultimately put me off wasn’t healthcare, guns or food, but the utterly hostile immigration process.

It seems that until you get a green card, the state barely tolerates your presence.

So nothing to do with the fundamentals, for me anyway.

By doing something meaningful, I mean doing good for the sake of doing good at the cost of something you care about. People are arguing that Apple should sacrifice their revenue just to uphold their principles. The government would never do the equivalent thing, e.g. sacrifice geopolitical leverage in exchange for advancing humanitarian causes.
Trouble in China is that the population and the country is very very big, it's hard to start a revolution, like in other smaller countries likes Syria or Tunisia, with the support of all the people and all the territories. Maybe someone will also be able to rebel, in Beijing, but at 3000km away if nothing happens, it will end up (bad) as Tiananmen square.
amazing out of the box idea and wish them all the best. Crazy to think smoking anywhere is ok especially during an airborne pandemic and the notion that spewing out that crap from your mouth/nose is okay anywhere at all where there are or aren't other people is nuts. Not inside. Not outside. Not down the street. It not ok to invade other people's personal space. Same as anything pandemic. The entitlement is as much a plague as the virus itself.
Seems that state schools everywhere are expanding in the past few decades. UC added merced in 2005. More people are enrolled in a cal state school than ever before. Its almost a meme how common new dorm construction is on college campuses.
That's not true. A lot of people start smoking because it feels good.

Nicotine is psychoactive, and the physical act of smoking can be pleasant.
So how do we go back? If our problem is human nature, perhaps we just have to survive long enough, and the human organism will self-correct.

I want to overtake small cities and make an escape rout for people who feel trapped in society, like me. The problem is that you need money in order to make jobs in those cities. Basically we are just stuck waiting for culture to change again.

> Caterpillar ... had no market for its commercial paper which financed day to day operations

... at the lowball prices they felt entitled to. Did they try offering bonds with real interest rates, say 7-10% ? I'm reminded of this recent narrative about the so-called "labor shortage".
Our contemporary “captains of industry” don’t build universities, cultural centers or museums the way they did in the guided age.

Have you ever lived in apartments? Because It's the reason I bought a house instead of a condo or townhouse. Not everybody has families, in fact single person households are on the rise in the US and this style of living would be ideal for them.

I have no doubt that NASA's 'business' software is like everyone else's. It would be a waste to invest in high assurance, high talent development for the HR and bug tracking systems.

> It's not just about peeling back the curtain and seeing how the sausage is made, it's more about an organization having high-minded goals where they have requirements to a certain standard of work, but in practice they often turn a blind eye to those standards.

My perspective: Few people live up to the high-minded goals; we're human. We achieve great things when, after experiencing humanity, we don't despair but keep our faith and enthusiasm for those goals. When the founders of the US wrote the Declaration of Independence, they were not naive - they had lots of experience of humanity (including their own), much worse than what we know. Yet they believed in something higher, beyond themsleves. If they didn't, if NASA didn't, we'd still be living in a early modern monarchy and not flying to Jupiter.

Thanks for sharing yours! TIL a few things.
Am I reading this right? This is a call for the core development team, who are core to progress of the language, to resign due to things that are not related to the quality of their output? If so, who exactly will develop the language further?
I am a Windows user, so all of the Rust software I use runs on it. And that’s virtually all Rust software. Sometimes you need a small patch or two because someone did something weird with path handling, but 99.99% of it Just Works.

Apparently we haven't published platform statistics since 2019, but according to that years' survey: https://blog.rust-lang.org/images/2020-03-RustSurvey/32-what...

* 55% of Rust users develop on Linux

* 24% develop on Windows

* 23% develop on macOS

So yeah Linux was the most popular, but dropping effectively half of your users isn't always a great idea. Of course, some people will build OS-specific software in Rust, and that's great! But it is a tradeoff you're making.
I'll never believe it. Blowing was required and technique mattered.
>That's because public transportation, as it's run today, is generally a pretty awful experience.

Where you live, maybe. Where I live, it is pleasant, practical, and affordable.

Yes, private vehicles have the advantages you list. But the disadvantages: expense (borne both by the owner and by the taxpayer through subsidies), immense space requirements, parking, congestion, noise, pollution, pedestrian fatalities, encouragement of sprawl development patterns, and so on. EVs and autonomous vehicles only solve a few of these. As for COVID -- hate to break it to you, but you're going to catch it no matter what, if you haven't already.

Why is it that people dismiss the idea of making public transit (and other transportation modes) better, and hang their hopes on fantastically complicated and unproven engineering and software efforts like self-driving vehicles? There are plenty of examples of cities and whole countries achieving the former, while the latter is a -- well, I don't want to say a pipe dream, but there's no concrete proof it would work as advertised at scale.

The part about replacing buses with a shared autonomous fleet seems crazy to me. You have 20 people in a single bus, replaced with 20 people in 20 individual autonomous cars. That's at least an order of magnitude more space taken up on the roads. AI or not, they're gonna make more traffic!
It doesn't say anything about them being journalists, but instead that the guy was an 'operational' al-Qaeda target, and his kid an innocent victim. How is this an attack on free press?
Well no, I'd only value NFT's for sequestered carbon that were a net negative. The energy overhead need not be Bitcoin-sized.

And also, I'm not proposing that we make the entire pathway auditable. You don't get to know what each user spent it on before it reached your hands, you just get to know that somewhere, at the end of the line, is the guy who minted it. And whether you value it should come down to whether you want to live in a world with more of whatever he's doing.
Remembering lectures, I used to sit in them, watch and take notes. It was only after when reading back through the notes and looking into the problem area I could hear and make out what I didn't really catch first time.

So videos with slides, and notes, and tutorials/practice all can help. It does for me anyway.
The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a café table working. A waiter approached him

‘Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?’ he asked.
‘Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream’, the philosopher replied.

A few minutes later, however, the water returned and said,

‘I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?’
It does matter, and to think otherwise is willful ignorance.

I wasn't aware UW was still that cheap for residents. That's great. I'm more familiar with the northeast. For example, the in state all-in price for Rutgers these days is $30k.
> Large cities would probably be well-served by copying the US constitution's solution to this problem by making the Mayor also the Chief of Police (or something similar). After all, NYC/LA are larger than the US was in 1776, and, in terms of size, those PDs are the same order of magnitude as the Continental Army.

An interesting approach that I haven't come across before. Do you know of any legal/constitutional/poli-sci analyses of this solution for cities or greater-metropolitan-areas?
Drug development is heavily, heavily subsidized by taxpayers.

Ghouls have managed to privatize the profits, but every drug, technique and device ever developed is standing on the shoulders of giant public funding.
So what do you think they do all day? Assets don't move by themselves. First of all, where do you even move them? You have to research. Research takes time. Then you gotta figure out how to move them there. More research. And then you gotta move them at the right time, yet more research.

It's not like they have an AI that just makes optimal asset moves automatically...

What do you do for work, huh? Sit in front of a computer all day? I bet a lot of people think you're just cheating your way to wages too. Imagine how someone literally laying bricks feels about your 100k comfy office salary.

It's getting even worse than that. In some cities and counties, you have to pay to read real estate records online. Public documents that were free just a few years ago are now behind paywalls.

Here are a few possible explanations based on my experience at various employers.

1. Departments/divisions have their own budgets; Quill was purchased before security or compliance was involved.

2. Quill was deployed or piloted for a group without retention requirements then escaped into the wild. Security or compliance wasn't involved until it was in use company wide.

3. A client required using Quill so the usual compliance requirements were waived.
