Almost a decade ago a French mobile carrier had their entire domain and subdomains zero-rated - one of the subdomains had a phpBB forum - someone created a little script to tunnel full layer 3 communication over the forum’s private messaging functionality. I’d imagine it would slaughter the DB if you tried to pass any significant traffic though it but as a demonstration it was cool and worked fine.

"There are a few people in the world who get locked out from banking by an oppressive regime" is just another rather unconvincing argument for crypto. Yes, let's upend the world's financial system, evolving and improving for centuries, for THAT.

>Suppose that I have a consistently profitable bot. What good does it do me to let you know about it?

Two main reasons come to mind:

First, you cannot know whether a particular algorithm (bot) will be consistently profitable in the future. It may lose everything it has ever won if the circumstances change (e.g quickly rising interest rates, war breaking out). There's risk involved. A service provider may prefer making software to taking market risk.

Second, investing profitably without taking excessive risk requires far more capital than writing algorithms. The customers of a bot maker may be able to raise capital far more cheaply than the bot maker itself, e.g. by investing their personal savings. Whether a particular algorithm is profitable or not depends on the cost of capital.

Please don't take this as an endorsement of algorithmic trading or of investing your money that way. It's certainly not how I personally invest my savings. I'm not a finance professional either.

That's a trick the Germans will have to do about 50 million times to get rid of their gas dependence in all their households. That's going to be bottle necked on the availability of heat pumps and trained people to install those. It will be interesting to see how quickly that industry can scale.

Providing the electricity for those pumps is the easy part of the problem. That just requires doing a bit more of what they are already doing at scale, which would be installing wind and solar all over the place.

There’s a third option: a Linux phone.

Granted it’s not going to function 100% worry-free as a daily driver just yet. But if Linux is your thing, a Linux phone may bring things to the table that you’re not going to get from Android or Apple.

Example: longevity. A Linux phone whose drivers have been mainlined will benefit from many years of updates, both kernel and userland.

Depends, because if you got the single components you can use them to repair multiple boards, while if you go the spare way you need to keep some spares for each specific board. So I think it's debatable whether the spare way is actually a better way or not. Maybe the best way would be a mix of the two: use a spare to be able to quickly repair the equipment but then later take the time to find out the single component that broke and replace it so the old board becomes a spare one. This way you can avoid having stacks of spares and you still have quick repairs.
I know a few carpenters who left. They were driven out of the business (US).

The main cause was non-citizen, illegal workers being employed, with active encouragement by the elites through non-enforcement of the law.

As soon as some companies in an area started displacing citizen workers and reaping the financial rewards of that, it was a race to the bottom. No longer able to support a family or maintain dignity, carpenters had to find other things to do.

The quality of work has dropped precipitously. Just look at the lousy finish carpentry, and that's just the stuff you can easily see.
Trees, right?
I don't get why Germany gets shit for importing gas from Russia when whoever supports that (or depends on Russian nuclear fuel) directly finances the russian nuclear weapons program which is being led by the very same company, Rosatom.

Competitively priced to renewables is a moving target. You do not just need to match it the moment you build it but over the expected life time.
When farming tulips, at least you could get pretty flowers from them.
If only Tether and similar could show something, anything, an audit, that shows anything close to this.

I almost typed audit-like. But I remembered they've pulled that shit before. "Attestations of balances" mean fuck-all when even back when they were denying the links between Bitfinex and Tether, the same people were countersigning loans between the two for both parties.

Oh, they did claim that they had had an audit done. But they couldn't release it to the public "because it was in Mandarin".

I very very very much doubt that 11-12% cash is in anyone's hand.

Yeah in the north east, carpenters with good reputations (they reliably show up, work to code, can think) make 6-figures easily. There’s no end to the work and they can pick and choose.

The price to do a renovation or build out here has gone through the roof with labor and materials becoming expensive.
> And yet for some reason for years they have been aiming for quantity and not quality.

Even if we were to assume a good quality, there is still too much quantity. Netflix drops new shows so often that they never have time breath or get legs. I may see an interesting trailer, and then a week later there's another trailer, and so on. There's just so much stuff.
Oh, absolutely. I use a fan from April through May. Come summer with 35-40 degrees and 80-90 percent humidity, as is the case for six to eight months of the year in many places, no fan will help, only true-blue A/C.

Being in the zone, whatever form it might take.

To me, the zone is any situation that makes the baseline pain of being alive go away (there's too much to unpack here, so I won't).

Things that can bring me in the zone:

* Riding my Honda CB750F, especially without a destination, just moving through the world in this raw, old-fashioned way liberates my mind and puts me at such ease.

* Coding something I like.. Again it's not entirely the destination that matters, it's the journey, the work itself that changes my focus from the mundane to the creative.

* Listening to great music while doing almost anything, including not doing anything.

* Watching a movie or tv show with my wife or a friend.

* Creating something, art or invention or utilitarian object, changing my environment to suit me.

* Unstructured time to myself with no immediate tasks that has to be done, so that I can entirely let go of any thought and just drift, having no plans whatsoever.. This is probably my favourite thing in the world, but also most difficult for me to achieve..

It can be constructed by traditional manufacturing, can reuse significant amounts of infrastructure, has next to no fire risk outside of the motor and generator, and scales well.

One issue is that they don't keep writers and show runners around. Each season gets new writers so any magic there was in season one of lost in season two. The tone is the same but you lose something when you bring on me people. The do this because of the lag between seasons and the fact that they don't hire on writers, but rather contract them on a per season basis.

Yeah, about that.

I heard this for the first time last week and I couldnt believe the business model. Its effectively a ponzi scheme but the scheme originater was just so relaxed about it as if it was nothing to be concerned about and was perfectly normal. I think in the Cryto world though the participants, on buy and sell sides, are all fully aware though, all they seem to be concerned with is how much of a speculative boost it will give to the coin price so they can land a 1000% gain in a few days/weeks/months and then cash out leaving someone else holding the baby.

It's safer cus there are hundreds of crypto exchanges that exist, in jurisdictions all over with varying levels of regulation or compliance. Many of which have run off with customer funds. You can always be sure that your funds are safer in your own wallet than on an exchange.

However, USDC is issued by a consortium spear headed by Coinbase which is a publicly traded US company that has a wealth of regulatory compliance hoops they jump through, and have routine independent auditors track the reserves of USDC.

But youre right in that there's elements of trust that you need to place.

I would spam Redditors with affiliate links in threads where they are looking for recommendations to buy something.

All shady stuff that wouldn’t benefit me in the long term but hey, you said I got 7 days to make $$$.
The problem is not so much whether shows are killed to early or too late, but when you blindly follow metrics to determine either way.

There are plenty shows pre-streaming that got killed prematurely (Firefly) and plenty that dragged on way past their prime (Simpsons) because of exec idiocy or internal politics or whatever that had little to do with whether the quality of the shows was good or whether they had found an audience or just needed time to grow.

I think Netflix tried to avoid that by using data-driven analysis to determine whether to keep or kill a show, but it turns out you probably need some human in the decision chain with an experienced gut. Another problem is that you don't necessarily know whether a show is going to be popular upfront, so the writers try to have a self-contained story arc within a season. If it gets renewed you end up having to awkwardly start a new arc with characters that were pretty much "done" in terms of development. This is pretty obvious with Jessica Jones and Stranger Things, both of which were arguably much weaker in their second seasons.

He is not really describing yield-farming here, he is describing what kind of price action happens when anyone can create a global, liquid, unregulated with just a computer as a tool.

In the US, people can get 100-500$ just by creating a new bank account and deposting money into it. Some people do that, but then immedietly remove the funds once the bonus is paid out.

In reality, yield farming is just that, except in crypto:
