"Moreover, because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors"

That's from Coinbase's 10-Q filing (https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001679788/89c60d8...). I don't necessarily think it's likely that customers would be treated as unsecured creditors, but it is possible as they note. At the very least, it seems likely that a court would need to determine (over the course of months) whether to release the crypto assets to the account holders. It seems likely that it wouldn't be as orderly as a traditional broker going out of business given that it's new ground to litigate. I do agree that it probably should be treated like any other broker, but I think there's a decent chance it'll take some time to work through courts.

Coinbase has $256B in assets on its platform. I think its creditors would certainly see value in trying to claim that the crypto isn't like stocks or bonds held at a brokerage - enough value to tie it up for a good while with appeals.

They also note that the theft or loss of private keys is a risk and they note that the value of crypto assets held by them is far greater than what they're insured for. While I'm sure Coinbase invests a lot in security, there's a lot of risk in transactions that can't be un-done. If an employee transfers money at a bank, the government and banks can un-do the transactions most of the time.

Again, I'm not saying these are likely scenarios, but there's certainly risk as a Coinbase customer.

I'm so confused by Jack Dorsey. Anytime Elon says "blah blah blah is wrong with Twitter", it seems like Dorsey is in the news saying "Yeah I agree 100%", as if as the co-founder and CEO of Twitter he somehow had 0 control over the direction of the company.

I'm generally in favor of burning Twitter down to the cinders, but Jack's enthusiastic support of the man who I believe can do it leaves me uneasy.
These houses have all been in the DFW metroplex, so low regulation TX.

I turned the main breaker on and back off, and half the lights were still in. Weird one. All the outlets that had a ground hole were actually grounded, most of my friends have houses with fake grounds, knob and tube or worse, aluminum wiring. Regulations are sometimes a good thing. Its probably why our houses are cheaper though.

> It’s not science, thanks to adopting an anti-science religious belief system rather like your own.

But how is that possible?

You believe in science.

There are findings in the social sciences, and people have replicated the original findings. There's literature you can review.

Why do you not trust the science?

Have you actually falsified their claims? Well then why haven't you published your findings? Clearly that's how science works. It's a recursive application of the scientific method in a way that admits falsifiability at every level, and it allows you, or anyone else, to independently verify or disprove the results.

Multiple independent social scientists have performed the same experiment and achieved the same results. Why then don't you trust in the science? The methodology?

What evidence do you have that Every. Single. Person. Who has replicated those results has "adopted an anti-science religious belief system"?

That's an extraordinary claim, which requires extraordinary proof.

If there's a problem in the social sciences, how are the other sciences immune from that problem?

I still don't get it, though. There's a scientific process. The BELIEFS of the scientists surely can't matter! If the beliefs of the scientists mattered, we'd be relying on scientists to have the CORRECT BELIEFS. We couldn't just trust in the scientific method! Oh goodness, what can be done?!?

I'll admit my tongue was firmly in my cheek while typing this, but you still have the burden of proof of explaining:

1) How do you know that ALL of the social scientists have the wrong beliefs?

2) Why does it matter if they have the wrong beliefs, if they follow the scientific method?

3) How is it possible that not ONE true scientist has come along and published results that contradict the social sciences?

4) How do you as a lay person know the difference between which scientific results are valid, and which ones are invalid? Are there, say, some scientists who have a track record that you trust, and other scientists who have a track record that you do not trust?

5) What evidence would it take to convince you that you are wrong, and the social sciences are correct? If you can't come up with any examples, that sounds like a religion to me.

> Your religiously dogmatic sophistry has exhausted me, so congratulations, you win the last word.

I have no intention of winning the last word. I'm begging you to examine your own beliefs, and to improve yourself by realizing that you are fooling yourself.

Granted, EA's QA folks had never QA'ed a Linux game before, so I had to walk them through installing VMWare on Windows and gave them a Linux operating system image to test it with, but it did pass QA, and they released it in binary on the OLPC as well as in source code form.

I love Google maps but I don't think Google has any edge over other map services in transit API integration (partly because of what they did).

Pretty much every major transit agency publishes their schedule in two standard formats these days: GTFS for static scheduled and GTFS real-time for real-timr info. The G used to stand for Google before it was generally adapted and now it stands for general. All apps use the same data for showing transit feeds.

There are some exceptions, such as cities where the transit agency has an exclusive agreement with Google maps but that's becoming there.

There's a niche area where some apps focus solely on transit, adding a lot more data or integrating non standard custom APIs. Transit (which I love, sick UI) https://transitapp.com/ and CityMapper are two of them.
I'm having a hard time understanding how you could do a funding mechanism for "mid-market" startups.

Contra the subtext of this post, it is not in fact low-risk to take a company from 0 to $5-10MM annual revenue. Companies that do this quickly tend do it with substantial funding, which is predicated on them aiming for much, much higher revenue and valuation numbers. Companies that don't take funding that eventually hit those numbers run for a long time before they get there. And those kinds of companies fail all the time; failure is their default mode.

As I understand it, a basic fact of life for venture funding is that the winners have to pay for the winners. Do the math with a portfolio of 10 companies taking $1 each to see what the winners have to make just to break even at various hit rates.

Further, targeting "mid-market" startups with growth targets low enough to somehow derisk them would also drastically reduce the amount of funding you could provide. You can't give $10MM to a company that's going to grow slowly and organically from low-7-figures; that company has such a low valuation that $10MM would buy too much of it. My first impression is that you'd be able to do something early-stage-YC-ish, giving a single founder ramen wages for a year or two, and not much more than that. But you'd have to take a huge chunk of equity to do that, so it'd be a terrible deal for the founder.

This model would make sense if there was a reliable path to get to $5MM/yr, such that you could build a portfolio of a bunch of companies taking that path with a very high hit rate. But there isn't? You are very likely to fail trying to start a company like that. Worse: the resources you'll need to operate a company doing $5MM/yr will rapidly outstrip any amount of funding a VC could provide. The VC-funded companies doing $5MM/yr got that money because they promised they'd soon be doing $500MM/yr.

I'm not even suggesting restrictions to free speech.

All I am suggesting is that speech can be incredibly harmful in ways we haven't realized yet.

More discussion about vulnerability to cognitive biases, speech that abuses and exploits them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzzjbSkrLCQ and how social media design supports and reinforces this kind of speech over others.

To see what I mean by harm, read the threadreader link.

My best idea so far is similar to the solution we had for yellow press and tabloids. We learned to recognize and be aware of manipulative kinds of journalism. If we are all careful, more aware and more skeptical - especially on social media - there will be less opportunity to be duped.

> Isn't this because civil rights of one individual are often in conflict with the civil rights of another?

Kind of, yes. I think where things go off the rails is where projection and extrapolation come into play.

Recall: one of the key defining cases of the ACLU was their defense of (actual) neo-nazis marching in Skokie in the 70s.

Contrast this with the ACLU in 2017 arguing that San Francisco should prevent an alt-right protest because of theorized violence (the protest went forward. No violence materialized). Volokh wrote a bit about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

There's a lot of inconsistency in the modern day ACLU. I think they've walked some of it back in the last few years, but from 2016-2020 I think they kind of lost their mind and I saw a lot of strong advocacy for these sort of projected societal norms -- don't let the bad people protest -- rather than the staunch defense of individual rights no matter who the individuals may be.

I want an ACLU that isn't polarized by politics. With a focus on individual rights.

I like that when I use Apple Maps, Google doesn't know exactly where I am/coming rom/going to. It's hard to trust that information is in safe hands and won't be passed off. I'm not saying Apple is a saint, but I trust them more to run maps without selling my location details. I just wished Apple Maps worked better overseas.

If it's an android fork with a 20 year lifetime, then I understand what it is.

Take a look at Garmin's products. Does what you want, and if there is no model that doesn't do what you don't want, just don't turn those features on. For example, I already have an Apple Watch, I don't care about "smart watch" stuff on my Garmin. But their top-of-the-line 945LTE that I bought for running also has "smart watch". I just want running stuff, so I simply did not pair the watch with my phone. There, no smart stuff. (Granted, I guess I'm paying for features I don't use...)
The word "liberal" has been mangled to the point where it is essentially meaningless. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who believes the government should have the power to regulate the content of your speech, at the point of a gun, is in no way "liberal".
That page neither argues that, nor supports the view that, "well-regulated" means well armed or well equipped.

The page argues that it means something like "running well", but the examples they give seem to me to fit better with a slightly different meaning that also matches the etymology of the word (in Latin a regula is a rule; it comes from the word meaning to rule or govern). I think "well-regulated" means some combination of: well organized, well governed, well adjusted, well controlled.

In the Second Amendment it may or may not have specifically the sense of "well organized/governed/adjusted/controlled by the nation's government". But it's definitely not just talking about a militia that has enough weapons, or a militia that is good at shooting the people it wants to shoot; a well-regulated militia is one that is well organized and that makes good choices about who to shoot and why.

(It also seems clear to me that "well-regulated" is not there to be any part of the point of the Second Amendment. I think it's mentioned in passing, possibly exactly to reassure people who might otherwise worry that the 2A is trying to set things up so that armed mobs terrorize everyone. "For a free state to remain secure, it needs a militia -- yes, yes, of course it has to be a well regulated one -- and so the people must be able to have weapons.")
> > ssh user@host awk '{print $1}' file.txt

That's the behaviour in bash (and I think pretty much every other vaguely Bourne-like shell). That's what single quotes do.

> what if I actually want it interpreted as a shell variable that should be expanded on the local [...] system?

$ ssh user@host awk "{print $1}" file.txt

But note that `$1` will be used as awk code, not string data. You need somthing like `\"$(echo $1 | s!(\W)!\\$1!g)\"`, the details of which will be shell-specific, if you want it to be awk code for a string constant.

> what if I actually want it interpreted as a shell variable that should be expanded on the [...] remote system?

$ ssh user@host sh -c 'awk "{print $1}" file.txt'

Where `sh` is whatever shell you're using and `$1` specifically is obviously not very useful here.

If only they'd whitelist osmand for the use in Android auto, I'd never use Google maps.

For me, their biggest anti-feature is that they show buildings only on a very high zoom level, basically when only a couple of buildings for the screen. It used to be at a block level, where you reliably see many surrounding buildings. OSMand is way better now in this regard and can be easily configured.

I used to take BlaBlaCar here in Central-Eastern Europe. It was pretty great, but the only reason most people use it is to take as cheap rides as it is possible. After several awful experiences and after my complaints going ignored I stopped using it entirely.

Over maybe a hundred rides, I can't imagine I've made the company more than 50 euro total.

If the price of fuel/travel continues to climb, I can imagine that might make it closer to being a viable business model. But human nature and other things being the way they are, I can't imagine anyone doing it as a sustainable business. It's a race to the bottom.
I stopped using google maps because I got sick of them trying to force me to log in so they can legally share my location across products (I know this is why they do it because I was there at TGIF when Eric said so).

Where do all these PMs get promoted to? If it is to a "manager of PMs" role, that sounds as if the company is always launching ever more products, and that promotion to a higher level with more pay while remaining a PM isn't an option.

This phenomena is not unique to AI safety. It often is driven by management incentives.

I agree that AI safety is not a solved problem in practice, but that doesn't mean it's neglected. AI safety gets a lot of attention, and it is important, but it's not "neglected" in the sense that too few people work on it or that there isn't enough money in it [0]. I think the marginal impact of a new person in AI safety is roughly zero, all else equal.
