While this is true, and should be taken into account ...

I can't help feeling that by the time that becomes relevant, those cryptocurrencies are quite likely to be worth very little anyway, as coinbase going under is (IMHO) quite likely to be correlated with a general cryptocurrency market crash.

Why not? If the amount you owe is within your spending limit why does it matter if it's credit vs debit?
One of the cool parts of crypto is that it enables new forms of social coordination that take place entirely within an online context. We haven't even scratched the surface of what could be possible with DAOs; the UIs and educational materials don't exist yet.

But given how online people are in general (and they're only likely to become more online in the future), it's natural they'll want digitally-native ways to organize themselves, represent ownership, qualify membership, etc.

The shift in concept required here is from viewing a token as "an investment" to viewing it as a form of legible social proof within its community context, which becomes more meaningful as communities grow beyond the "tipping point" where interpersonal proof (think webs-of-trust) is sufficient for coordination. NFTs (yes, they're still around!) are already serving this function for certain experimental communities (and even in less experimental ones, see POAPs).

In general, everything above is still in the experimental, live or die phase. We don't quite know where it's going. But it's pretty damn cool to watch if you're deeply invested in the internet as a medium (and as someone who "grew up online", I absolutely am).
> Do good work, work that pays, that you're good at, that you can be proud of. Then go home. Switch off...

Do good work. But if not switch off, and if you are young, it might be better to get another boring job. There is so much distraction, huge marketing machines pumping out ads manipulating our psyche and FOMO inducing content on Instagram. People could easily focus on a second job and be forced to avoid all this.

I wonder if there are software engineers doing 2 boring jobs.
What laws did they break? Legitimately curious.

Benefits vs cost.

Rocket launches typically develop and support bleeding edge technology. And are relatively infrequent compared to regular travel flights.

The "huge" plastic cables are 7-8cm (~3 inches) diameter. So big, but not gas pipeline big. And because of THEIR existence many people are NOT taking those regular travel flights they otherwise might.

Not saying we can't do better. But people closer to it and smarter than me would know.
Much like a puppy-kicking machine, the "orderly, fair, predictable" functioning of cryptocurrencies is something much closer to "nonexistence" than to the current state of affairs.

Less facetiously: there is nothing orderly about our current schemes. There is nothing particularly fair about them either, unless your definition of fairness is something closer to Thucydides' than a modern one. And predictable? Cryptocurrencies handily defeat our stock market in unpredictability. Not a great set of qualifications.
He didn't say Enron.
Nobody keeps bricks of gold at home. Just why would they. Way too much risk.
Cables like this would have spare strands to be able to handle the situation in which a single strand was compromised by a break or pinhole, and possibly a different type of jacket on each strand to manage the stresses. If a section is badly damaged beyond the point of patchwork repair, then the only hope from that point is that the customers using the strands/wavelengths on the cable have an active alternate path while the whole section is dug up and replaced.

You can get a general idea with free backlink checkers, just won't be able to deep dive and do various filters.

Ignore all the spammy websites that usually regurgitate random links. Focus on the sites with high DR that don't have the "NoFollow" attribute. These are the hard-hitting websites that boost your domain for SEO purposes and can be good places to get feedback on your own product.

True, pyramid schemes always have an upper limit since they depend on people not already knowing about them.
From the ancient riots in Rome for the 'panem,' the cries of the Miserables storming the Bastille for the pan, the Russian revolution, the 'Arab spring,' the collapse of the Soviet Union, and other revolutions and times of trouble seem all to be coinciding with elevated grain/flour/bread prices. The poorest will have nothing to lose and will have everything to gain with a change in regime. Rich people will be fine I'm sure. Interesting times that we live in.
> I invite you to sell it short

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Shorting for any decent stretch of time is not free, and you more or less have to do it on one of the many rigged casinos operating in the crypto space. It's a fool's game.
Same reason you don’t keep all your savings under the mattress. There have been a number of stories about people losing or corrupting their crypto wallets. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Every now and then I feel like playing Morrowind, but to get the most out of it, I would like to sit in long sessions with a notebook just to immerse myself in that world, read the in-game books, talk to the people, etc.

With small children, full time work, etc, I haven't found a way to make that happen.

Do I wait until retirement or is there some other trick to it?
The answer to this question does not demonstrate that USD has any intrinsic value, it merely demonstrates that USD is the most valuable and well circulated of the currencies. These currencies still have zero intrinsic value.
Some big yacht dealers take BTC as well.
I think their angle is users not one-click installing ad-ware, ruining their browsing experience, and having them think "Safari sucks"
This is targeting AMD GPUs and M1 GPUs currently not targeting the integrated Intel GPUs present in Intel machines. However if you have a 16 inch Intel MBP, or a Mac Pro, etc, this should work with your AMD GPUs. That support isn’t in the nightly packages yet (only Apple Silicon support so far) but the PyTorch team is saying that it will be available by the end of the week hopefully. If you just can’t wait, you should be able to build from source to test it out right now.
> If it goes up in value again, 2x or 10x its current value, will people who said it was a grift admit it was more than that?

I've called it a grift since 2017 so yeah. Being a grift has nothing to do with its price and everything to do with its fundamental structure.
Bitcoin is not a scam. Your mileage may vary on other tokens.
I do, but our quite big national pension fund likes ESG.
>Democratic governments represent the will of the people

Such as the will of the people for pot to remain technically illegal throughout the entire nation, or the will of the people for a president to be elected with a minority vote?

>Would you for example say that guns are clearly anti-government or pro-government?

Neither. Guns are a tool usable by a variety of actors for a variety of purposes. Banning guns (or restricting them in a way that isn't restricted to the government such as implementing a burdensome taxation scheme for automatic weapons or short barreled rifles/shotguns) in non-government hands is firmly pro-government, however. Banning guns for 'felons' who are only that way because they are enemies of the state (such as pot dealers or someone who 'vandalized' a government owned wall with a work of art a la California felony vandalism laws) is firmly pro-government.
>Then you realize you're getting old and... oh my god... we're actually stuck working in a fashion industry and nothing matters, life is meaningless, and all this is dumb dumb dumb

Yup I know what you mean ! There is no zen. As I mentioned some time ago, the 'final zen state' is coding on a mountain top for yourself in a LISP with Emacs on an ultra book charged by happy sun rays :D - only somewhat joking here...

I think if you don't have the burning desire for change, the ability, or the opportunity, the odds of failure are very high.

If you do have all these conditions, then go for it. But otherwise, it might be best to wait, as age doesn't really diminish them.

Also if you are raising kids, then the hedge is that you've probably raised multiple people who can bring the same impact or more. In many cultures, family companies like Samsung are quite common. Samsung did trading and only entered electronics when the founder was 50. But it was with Lee's children that Samsung became a major power.
I'm thinking the Steam Deck's portability would make it convenient enough to play in many unconventional settings, even on the couch together with your kids.

So, what percentage of these crack open during processing, and how poisonous are they without the sio2 casing? What about when they hit the sewer processing plant, and are eventually dumped.

Also, what sort of environmental impact does producing them have?

Hopefully they'll be forced to label products that have these things in them. Otherwise, I'll be switching to fake Parmesan.
It’s not particularly great for that, either. Every transaction is traceable and publicly visible.
While i respect the other commenters in fintech and adtech and such (to each their own), just to give you an alternate perspective, i've been working in the health care and then the renewable energy sector my entire working life (~20 years), aside from a quick jaunt into insurance for a couple months, and i have to say that, at least to me, the industry definitely matters (hence why i was only in insurance for a couple months before i bailed). It matters very much to me to know that i'm working towards a cause that i feel is helping the world rather than something that is, for lack of a better phrase, sucking off its tit.

Yes, you absolutely should try to define your life more by what you do when you're NOT working for someone else, but the reality is our work life takes the majority of our productive energy. If you're feeling dead inside because you're putting all your energy into something you don't believe in, you should start applying for companies you can really see yourself feeling proud to be a part of. That said, the industry isn't the only factor, i would say even more important is the company culture and the people you work with (further supporting the arguments of the commenters in fintech and adtech). I have worked at a company in renewables that had a terrible culture that forced me to move on, even though i loved what we were providing.

At the end of the day, whatever it takes for you to feel satisfied with the work you've done is no less than you should settle for. I wish you the best in your quest for happiness.
You're confusing temples with shrines.
The issue here is actually pretty easy to grok. Crypto is a new market, so there is a historical amount of information asymmetry between consumers and producers. This brings a lot of scammers to the space. A lot of crypto is definitely bullshit, but there are some use-cases that I admire that aren’t just gambling on Shit coins.
The government you would most expect to love that idea has done exactly that:

I agree about not being transported or stored "significantly" but thats the beauty of it. The very places that would consume it (gas gen stations) would also be the ones who could produce it when they're not running because solar is overproducing. produced and stored on site, never transported, pre-exising grid connectivity. and again i'm only talking about the 10 - 100 hour market. the <10hr market is already solved by li-ion, and the >100hr market is an unsolved problem, we're just gonna have to burn gas for 4 - 6 weeks in the winter.
Well, if we are to believe Von Braun's 1949 essay, Marsprojekt:

> The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled "Elon." Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet.

One of the primary features of DALL-E 2 is inpainting. Thus, if they allowed it, you could easily just paint out a celebrity's clothed figure and ask DALL-E to replace it with a nude.
Given the yield of useful content vs. rock in mining, I suspect the more limiting factor is space for all the mining, not space for disposal of the 0.1% metal etc yield for making industrial goods.
The drop in ransomware might have something to do with it, since there's less money going into crypto from victims right now.

Every time innocent people are killed by a psychopath, everything should get a very hard and sharp "probe"... In hopes of discouraging the shockingly cowardly behavior.

Especially the killer(s).

There were numerous reports and investigations and even a documentary on the beltway snipers.

We shouldn't ask why one incident gets more scrutiny compared to another.
I find notifications more attention hostile. Often I write comments to think over a topic properly, and I don't always want to go back and check them. Replies are often by people who didn't even really read the comment or the article, and I get sucked into long responses.
I think it would be more standard to replace "regulate" with "outlaw" as well, does that make sense?

If you go the maverick route, try to get some hard data on what type of budget you'll need as both Toronto and Vancouver are expensive cities, especially for rent. Just because the government will let you in with CAD$14k doesn't mean it's not risky if that's all the funds you have. Hopefully you'd be able to find employment quickly but the economy does appear headed in a bad direction and you could find yourself competing against those who have recently been laid off and have much better connections than you at the companies that are hiring.

If you believe those things, you should be asking for crypto to be outlawed, not disingenuously regulated for the underhanded purpos of outlawing it.
Not DB2, but the meaning is the same.

In a time-series (or event) table you have one date - when the data point is valid (event occurred).

In a temporal table you have two dates - interval when the data is valid.

In a bitemporal table you have two intervals. First describes when the data is valid in real world, the second when does the system know about the real-world state.

I.e. if company changed address on 2022-05-01 but the system will not get that information until three day later (2022-05-03) you have two validity intervals.

Then you may ask - what was the company address on 2022-05-02? And what did the system think the address was on 2022-05-02? You will get two different answers. This is important if you need e.g. to make a correction to previously issued invoice. You need to know what data was used for original invoice and what data should have been used.
> you’d be an idiot to ignore the realistic and adopted use-cases

Ignoring the hostility, what would you list as the realistic and adopted use-cases for crypto?
Yes, fiat currencies don't have intrinsic value, they have network value as the primary unit of exchange.

A good investment does need intrinsic value, which BTC does not have. It's also not a feasible payment system.

The fact that cryptos are only referenced in USD terms proves that the only real use people have for them is a vehicle of speculation. Investment without intrinsic value = speculation

The second there's a gov backed USD stable coin, the argument for any crypto as a payment system evaporates.
When they're following the law, which is most of the time, they put "cellulose" in the ingredients list on the package. This sort of product is usually not mislabeled. In that case it wasn't, and the company was rightly busted for it.

It isn't called "wood pulp" in the ingredient list because it isn't wood pulp, it's cellulose powder derived from wood pulp (or cotton.) Listing cellulose as "wood pulp" would be like listing gelatin as "pig".
> Is there an easy way to deal with this e.g. compliance as a service?

I think we call ourselves CPAs :). In all seriousness the 'solution' depends on what industry we're talking about. Short term rentals? Avalara. Software as a service? Various accounting firms and startups. Etc.
Is there any evidence that Google is actually better at software engineering than other companies? IMHO, it seems they have enough money to deliberately do things inefficiently which would kill a smaller company, but Google can manage to succeed through brute force.

Honestly I think the better example would be from a tiny company that can't afford to do things wrong.
To be honest, whenever I see or hear the word "insights" now, I become very skeptical. It stems from when someone goes on stage at a TED talk (or something similar, perhaps even a 'tech talk') and spews a bunch of already well known high level nonsense that is not useful at all in our daily lives and work. Then, when it's Q&A time, a sycophant in the audience will predictably begin a question with: "thanks for your insights".
This is not naivety, it is just stating what the ideal is.
You can also select your own fonts and prevent pages from overriding them. Preferences → Fonts → Advanced → untick “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above”. I did this a few months ago, and I’ve seen no breakage outside icon fonts, and apparently icon fonts are deader than I thought they were—DuckDuckGo has a few unimportant ones, and beyond that the only ones I’ve seen are Google’s Material Icons font, which uses a ligation technique that’s supposed to make things better but actually makes them vastly worse.

Over all, I’m much pleased by the results of forcing Equity/Concourse/Triplicate.
Fundamentally sound as what?

- As a currency, it's garbage. Currencies are inflationary to incentivize spending. A deflationary currency incentives hoarding, and harms the economy by dropping velocity. All the worst periods in history have been deflationary, not inflationary. Currencies benefit from being able to respond to changes in population, to shocks, to changing demographics. And they shouldn't cost a fully-realized (inc. block reward) $200+ to transact.

- As a 'hedge against inflation,' it's garbage. In the most inflationary period in decades, it went from 69K to 28K. That's a drop of 60% in nominal terms. While the dollar dropped 9%. That means it dropped 69% in real dollar terms in a few months. RIP.

- As a 'store of value,' it's garbage. A store of value must be predictable. You should have a reasonable expectation that you can extract the same amount of value from it in the future. See above.

- It's an environmental catastrophe, wasting as much power as an entire nation (and yielding kilotons of e-waste per year) to achieve 6tps. Millions of times less efficient than Visa, or FedNow or RTP.

It has sufficient throughput at the L1 level to service a large flea market or a mid-sized Costco, not the world economy. Lightning is a nothing burger. It would take 75 years, 2/3 of a trillion dollars in fees, and the entire rest of the block reward to open a channel for everyone on earth. And LN has quadratic routing complexity meaning even if you did, it wouldn't be functional in the first place.

Even your example of smuggling money across the border doesn't make sense - you need to buy Bitcoin at one exchange in one country, then sell it at another exchange in another country in order to spend the value. That takes days, costs percentage points, exposes you to huge counter party risk and massive forex swings ... and KYC. And being a public ledger, both governments can fire up chainalysis and see exactly who moved it where. So even if they don't ask you questions as you move across the border, they'll follow up. Just give it time.

In exactly what narrative does it come across as 'fundamentally sound'?

Isn’t V1 past our solar system? Do I remember that right? This is the only craft that we have at those distances. Super curious to see the outcome of this. We know a bit about outside our solar system but have we ruled out the possibility that our understanding is flawed? Not the sensors? Interesting indeed, considering the signal is still strong, it’s still pointing towards earth, everything else seems nominal.

Truly democratic governments would represent the will of the people. Representative democracy, on the other hand, often ends up being an elective aristocracy -- just like you say.

Once we elect a small set of people to make decisions for us, a political class tends to emerge (those with resources and time to spend their days wooing people) and it is their will who is represented by government. The people simply select the least worst of those options.
