I like the concept, but this almost reaches into the realm of pedantic. I don’t think you really need more than “nitpick:” if you want to soften up your comment a bit. (At least don’t systematize into a list of tokens you have to police to keep things consistant)
Some of us recognize it for the supreme art it is, a 1997 English-language French science fiction action film directed by Luc Besson and co-written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen from a story by Besson. It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and Milla Jovovich. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the film's central plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas (Willis), a taxicab driver and former special forces major, after a young woman (Jovovich) falls into his cab. To accomplish this, Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defence of Earth against the impending attack of a malevolent cosmic entity.

Chased by relentless cliches, a chaotic malevolence that cannot be comprehended (but understands your deepest weaknesses), crushing inequality, and an androgynous Chris Tucker, the hero and heroine are plagued by corporatism gone amok, and use the system against itself to save the world. It is, quite simply, Willis' and Oldman's finest movie to date among dozens of fantastically acted movies.

A goddess can choose to save the universe. What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it? One of the deepest mysteries in the universe. Answer that, and you have the ethos to lift others and champion the big causes out of the jaws of ennui and nihilism.

As a single actor you can bend, but never break the rules. So you can achieve way better returns than the market as a whole does. Over time 10 - 200 x returns is achievable, don't think it comes cheap though, you need to dedicate large chunks of your life to it, and nothing is a guarantee.

However, the math approach to finance works because in its essence it is quantifying human reactions and or emotions, which in large crowds turns out to be more predictable. In the short run, still, software holds its edge with its probability approach but its not smart so that it is basically a rent seeker.
Here's a funny little anecdote. In the early life of bitfinex, you could lend money to levered traders at ~1000% interest. I did so personally, but only fairly small sums, and I did not sleep easy at night lol. It was pretty obvious it could blow up at any time, but somehow it didn't. Times were different then of course, ecosystem so much smaller - more room to grow.

There's a neat vibe to this movie. It's not high art but it's got its charms. I remember the film being peppered with little scenes that seemed irrelevant but served to set the carefree and sort of zany mood. I'm thinking of scenes like the one with the space port guys burning the parasites off of the ship's hull. Or the scenes involving Ruby Rhod's entourage. Also, it's hard to go wrong with Gary Oldman.
There's also nothing stopping teams from developing the front-end in Java too. Java SPAs have been possible for over five years using TeaVM:

It lets you code in Java, compile to a native SPA, and gain all the benefits you'd expect from a single, strongly-typed language top to bottom (refactoring, POJO reuse on the front end, etc.).

How on god’s earth did YC invest in this without seeing through the obvious bullshit?

YC has some blood on its hands here - their investment lent legitimacy to this scam.
> it's quite easy to find pockets of above-average returns if you're smart…

Right, but even then how deep are those pockets (what amount of investment can they absorb without being tapped out), how big a time window will they exist for, how will you know if those limits are being reached, and are you really sure you can quantify all the risks?

By definition if it’s a pocket of opportunity, it’s very constrained opportunity. As soon as those constraints are breached it will suddenly stop being low risk and might collapse completely. A lot of people have lost a lot of money on sure fire pockets of opportunity that were great when they lasted.

>Approaching CS as a series of abstract mathematical problems to solve can make you a very good programmer. Finding the right place in society to sell your .exe's is sometimes better solved by a programmer with a liberal arts education.

Liberal arts is like a business degree. You don't need a business degree to be good at business. In fact, the business degree is largely useless when it comes to business.

But this is besides the fact. The point is I don't actually care whether you call CS a science, a math, or a liberal arts major. It's not a profound question at all. It's more of a question I would classify as stupid. The debate around it occurs because although the question is stupid, it is deceptively profound... Similar to the question of, "what is life?"

Well, the S&P (assuming the S&P 500) doesn't represent the entire US economy, but 500 companies that represent, arguably, the "winners" of the US economy, so expecting them to grow 7% while the entire economy as a whole grows less is not unexpected.
Glad it’s working for them - Singapore uses a similar model (MDB).

If the society is cohesive and coherent enough it sees it as a public good and not ‘hand outs to the others’, it can work. The larger the scale, and more geographically separated, the less likely though in my experience.

And that sort of begs the question doesn't it? why isn't buying healthcare basically the same as buying groceries? both are large complex industries with lots of moving pieces that rely on vast networks of distributors. what makes healthcare so special that a person could see a 200x increase in the amount they were quoted for a service vs what they paid?

From my own anecdotal experience, my domestic partner had to be hospitalized for a suicide attempt. The ambulance took her to the hospital in my neighborhood which was in my network. By law they had to place her on a 72 hope suicide watch in the intensive care unit. I called my insurance company to relay all this information and was assured that it would all be covered by my insurance since a) the hospital was in network and b) the treatment was legally required.

Fast forward to 6 months later when I finally get the bill. For $40,000 ... because the insurance company only authorized a 2 day stay in the hospital when state law said the hospital couldn't release her until after the third day and despite the fact that this information was provided to the insurance company both by myself as well as the emergency room staff before she was admitted (I was sitting right next to them as they called, so there is no question they were aware of the circumstances).

The insurance industry is an absolute nightmare and a parasite, providing no value to the ecosystem at a dramatically inflated cost. The sooner it is abolished and healthcare is made a fundamental human right and socialized the better off we will all be.

True, I wouldn't be surprised if the US was amongst the lead in quality of medical procedures - when that procedure is necessary... but beyond administration, there have been numerous instances of doctors being exposed for electing patients for unnecessary procedures driven by profits, and other procedures being recommended when scientific evidence suggest the procedure has no clear benefit - no matter the quality of surgery, it always comes at significant risk and cost to your body, it's not a magic wand; it's a traumatic intervention that requires your body to go through a lot of recovery with possible lasting effects. This can be true to a lesser extent for less severe medical interventions too.

So my point is, what use is excellent "care" if not only it's life endingly expensive, but it's also prescribed immorally to the point of actually causing harm!

It was a BNF or EBNF grammar specified in a pane, or in a file. The save function didn't work when I used it, so I copied and pasted from a local text file. The tool consumed the grammar and produced a method/function call for the parser.

Correct. Sending a new draft along with a message saying "here are our revisions," is standard contract negotiation. You would have no case that the new terms were consented to.

It's amazing that you people are still arguing this in earnest so far down the thread. Can you think for a second what the implications of this would mean for society, if it were an acceptable form of "negotiation"? It would be even worse for the ordinary little people.

My father is a (retired) farmer. Wheat is a pretty reliable crop that pays for itself, but you don't really make money on it. So, you grow some wheat, and you grow other stuff, such as canola, in order to get paid. With the elevated prices, a bit more wheat may have been planted this year, but you have to remember that the prices of the inputs have gone up as well, particularly fertilizer and fuel. Moreover, any land used to grow wheat is not growing something else. In the end, it doesn't make a lot of economic sense to increase wheat production when you can use the land and resources for higher value crops.

It’s a French sci-fi comic book film. It’s not explicitly based on any particular one but that’s what it’s trying to be.

As such it is fundamentally big, bombastic, and kind of stupid in much the same way Marvel’s films would be in later years. Except with a French flavor. All it’s ambitions lie in being cool-looking and kind of absurd, not in telling a subtle story full of well-acted characters. French films have a reputation in the US for being smart and classy and this film was maybe less stupid than an American comics adaptation but it is still kind of fundamentally a big, stupid, gorgeous film. The Frenchness left a lot of people underwhelmed because they were not ready for a big stupid comic book romp. I’d read enough Moebius when it came out to know what groove it was aiming for so I loved it.

I don’t know how it holds up in a modern world full of big stupid leave-your-brain-at-the-door American comic-book blockbusters. It was a nice taste of that sort of thing in a stand-alone package.

Also you might want to try watching some movies that are not big stupid sci-fi things before giving up on the entire medium? Find your local art house if you live in a decent-sized city, subscribe to their newsletter and spend an evening seeing something that sounds interesting now and then. They’ll probably have a few of the big dumb effects showcases too, because those reliably bring in money, you can continue to ignore them in favor of stuff like “we have this amazing psychedelic animated fairy tale from Hungary for one week only” or “a loving remaster of one of David Lynch’s twistier works”.
I'm about to be a dad this year. Every day as the date approaches, I am getting more excited and scared at the same time. Never felt anything like this. I recall the pure happiness without an ounce of worry when I was a kid, and I also get happy that I might have a chance to give this to my kid. At the same time, I feel a lot of pressure that I will fall short of being a good dad. I am yet to experience being a real dad yet, but I think this really might be the greatest enjoyment in my life.
> If you operate in this industry and haven’t heard of Bitfury, you may have less of a grasp of the landscape than you think. It was created by some of the main insiders and has employed many former government officials. I would have a rethink of my authoritative stance if I were you.

Employing government officials is not an index of seriousness. I should have been more clear, i've heard of Bitfury in the context of mining and ASICs, but I was unaware they had started a chainalysis product, and I don't take their efforts there seriously. I think the advertised customer list for this product speaks for itself.

> From everything I know about crypto, the linked paper checks out. A lot of people discuss these issues — I think Vitalik recently lamented that cryptocurrencies seem to devolve into feudal dollars.

I'm not denying that the basic idea is correct: that ownership inequality is high. It's just not as high as this headline is indicating.

Remember, the paper does not anywhere assert this 0.01% vs 27% stat. That is created by combining the paper's data on wallet clusters with crypto.com estimate of bitcoin owners. If you read the crypto.com whitepaper on how they computed this, they note that a limitation of their analysis is that they cannot count people who bought Bitcoin at one time, and have since sold it. That means that if you accept everything else about their analysis (which I don't), the denominator they're using counts literally everyone who has ever owned any non-zero fraction of a Bitcoin, ever.
>and how to drink in moderation and avoid hangovers (to help them in social situations). Many people who start drinking early also don't learn those lessons.

Looking at drinking age 21 in the US vs drinking age 16 in Germany, I would say German college students don't put so much effort in getting wasted in my experience.

Starting earlier gives some time, where the kids are still somewhat under the control of their parents, to adapt to alcohol. At 21 I feel like a lot of Americans already have an unhealthy obsession with getting wasted, because they've waited so long to get there.

I do understand that in the US you get your driver's license at 16, and having these events coincide would be horrible, but it's not entirely clear cut to me whether this trade-off is good.

It's almost like their small differences come with some narcissism.
Fraud is a strong claim, and it's not clear that there is even an implied contract formed - a contract requires defined consideration. An arbitrary amount conjured out of a hat after service is not well-defined consideration.

From my understanding, the medical billing system is so fucked precisely because hospitals bought laws making it so they can arbitrarily bill patients without forming a proper contract (otherwise there would be no way to charge someone who was admitted while unconscious). In the absence of such laws they'd have to fall back to an unjust enrichment claim, under which it would be pretty hard to justify charging someone $25 for an aspirin.
This is effectively circular reasoning

> The coins themselves are worthless, but accrue "fees" in fiat (ex. when you exchange USD for UST).

But why are the coins worthless? I'm sure your answer would be "because they're a scam" (probably more indirectly, but it would boil down to that point). But your reasoning for why the coins are a scam involves them being worthless.

Also, this isn't even true but the standard definition of worth of something like "what the market is willing to pay for something".
