When you’re making an analogy, you get to choose which aspects of the metaphor are relevant.

For example, are you aware that when launching a rocket, you want to avoid wasting fuel by going to full throttle in the thick, lower part of the atmosphere, where you’ll waste a lot of the energy you gain to air resistance?

There’s a reason one of the checkpoints in a space shuttle launch sequence was “go for throttle up”.

So even if you wanted to talk about economic management as being like ‘launching a rocket’ you could still make an argument for leaving some power in reserve for when the going gets easier.

But not intrinsically, if it was stolen then you could just use the image to mint a new NFT, declare the other one as stolen -- maybe make an affidavit, or use some legal instrument -- then you've "unstolen" it. They're choosing to consider it as non-fungible, continuing that choice in order to deny yourself legal use of your property is not just drinking the cool-aid but bathing in it too.

Of course this could be intentional, as others have said, it furthers the narrative that NFTs are genuinely non-fungible.

My semi-related suggestion: Even if you don't use it now, download Thunderbird (you can delete it after), add your Gmail account, then once it has synced, select all the messages you want (maybe even your entire inbox for good measure), then go to File -> Save As -> File. The folder you select here will be populated with your emails as EML files.

Once you have that folder, just use unsubscan to get all the links presented to you in a static HTML page broken down by sender domain.

I would not. I wanted this war to end before it started and I lement that many of my friends and family have now become blood thirsty warmongers. They see it as a chance to finally be a part or something fashionable and state sanctioned. An opportunity to openly hate where so much other hate is forbidden.

I worry that we’re blindly and foolishly waking into a preventable WW3.
Yeah. I was thinking more about some things that are completely new. My examples aren’t the best.

Friedman believed the Federal Reserve System should ultimately be replaced with a computer program.

EPSTEIN With respect to your saying you would not want to see a central bank, you long ago proposed that we simply pursue a policy of steady growth in a particular monetary aggregate. But wouldn’t that require a central bank to implement?

FRIEDMAN Yes, but I would substitute a computer for it, not a central bank. All you would have to do is have it buy or sell X dollars of securities. It is purely a technical matter.

I lost all my paper money at that time trading Ask Jeeves. The Dot-com bubble was my "test run", when I was learning stocks, paper-trading, and getting into finance. I very much was alive during that time.

If you didn't live during that time, then you wouldn't know anything of that era. Yahoo was the #1 search engine. No one cared much about Google. Amazon was a book store.

Ebay was far bigger than Amazon for general purpose goods. Webvan was your hope at making the internet mainstream. Etc. etc.

The biggest "internet" company was either AOL or Netscape IMO. Neither of them really the winner over the next 20 years.

---------

If you lived in that era, you would know just how unlikely it was that you'd have picked Amazon or Google out of the ashes.

Chances are, you would have been caught up with Enron and Worldcom's schemes, just like everyone else was.

A handful of the larger buildings seem to have accepted the permanent scaffolding state of affairs and actually handle it quite well.

Ie [1] where the supports for the scaffolding are built into the building itself leaving the sidewalk completely free of interference. Still not the best to look at if you look up, but doesn't impede foot traffic at all. And it's nice in the rain.

Some others like [2] have spent a bit more money to make the scaffolding look nicer and cleaner.

It's a fair intermediate solution imo that I hope becomes more widespread if we take as a given that eternal scaffolding isn't going away any time soon.

Understanding that it is impossible without anarchy, coupled with doubting the merits of anarchy?

But that's besides the point, croins failed as currencies and are closer to investment vehicles (without fundamentally valuable assets underneath).
The countries that did not engage in significant QE are also experiencing significant and similar inflation.
The stock market is buttressed by businesses which have real cash flows.

These days it is "quaint" to consider stock dividends, but in ye olde days they were supposed to be owning part of a capital machine to turn commodities inputs into widgets, selling those widgets at a profit and giving back dividends to the stock owners. If the stock was producing dividends at $1/share then the price would have a floor at around $10/share assuming those dividends held steady.

There's no floor under crypto because the incoming cash flow from people trying to get rich entirely funds the outgoing cash flow for people who are rich or who are running for the exits. Once the pool of actual money in the system goes to zero then you have more people running for the exits than are throwing cash into the system and the price discovery rapidly goes to zero.

There is some theoretical floor because if people are throwing thousands per day into the system while people are trying to extract millions per day, then if you cut the price down by 1,000 the flows are theoretically balanced. This is the proverbial "well if bitcoin goes to $50 then I'll buy a BTC every week so there must be a price floor". But at that point the exchanges have all gone bankrupt and your $50/week won't keep the lights on, so the owners of the exchanges have fled to sandy beaches with the remaining millions, or gotten arrested, or been assassinated.

This is also why you shouldn't try shorting the market. The exchange where you place those bets on may disappear.

Of course you could short Microstrategy on the actual stock market, but I suspect those options are going to be extraordinarily expensive at this point because everyone is thinking that (and BTC is not likely to go to zero tomorrow, its likely to keep shuffling on like a zombie for months[*]).

[*] I suppose I should more accurately assert that nobody knows when it'll go to zero and the problem is timing it accurately because shorting always has a time-cost, and I certainly don't know how to do that. But it does seem to be running pretty hard into a brick wall at the moment. My statement is less of a prediction and more of a rationale of why I'm not running out to short Microstrategy right now.

It’s extremely comparable. Take a time-series of VTI (all US stock index) against BTC or ETH. It’s very highly correlated since November. Crypto prices have what is called “high beta”. Very similar daily trends just a few orders of magnitude larger.
A solution to this is for creators to make the same move as ecommerce businesses going from Etsy to Shopify. Getting closer to the money and having patrons pay them through their own domain.

A related thought: if autonomous cars always prioritize pedestrians, I wonder what will happen to downtown main streets? Will you still have to give way to cars crossing the road? Or will there be enough pedestrians that you could simply walk across the road at any point and the cars will be forced to wait?

The traffic lights around me are really annoying for pedestrians, you have to wait for ages. I'm happy just crossing on a red if there is no traffic. But maybe if every car is autonomous, I would just make cars wait for me?

Would love to know because all instruments behave this way. There's tons of action in S&P 500 options at, say, 3650, but there's no action at 3640 and 3660 even though those strikes technically exist.
It’s about convenience and removing friction more than safety/security.

If those are every bit as low friction as the alternatives, I’m willing. (But that includes “I heard a podcast while I was driving mention patron; I should spend 30 seconds and give that creator money.” where I can find and login to Patreon faster than I can find the creator’s random website URL.)

For recurring billing, no, I will not give a random website my CC near as easily as I will Apple or Patreon (or any other platform that stands more to lose by biting my hand than an individual site does).
I can’t even imagine the state of mind that would lead someone to borrow real money in order to buy crypto. I mean that’s Joker on crystal meth level crazy.
Apple: Great hardware. Great software. Terrible combination.

I like Windows on Bootcamp. I like hackintoshes and my 2015 MacBook Pro. It's trying to bend macOS to my will on recent systems that causes wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I wish there were some kind of mechanism to maintain current levels of system security while allowing previous levels of freedom. Maybe a way to sign a Yubikey and the Recovery partition with an Apple Developer account, after which booting with the Yubikey on that system would allow you to, e.g., install an older version of macOS, or make changes to /System.

Social systems only work, when you have a vast majority of people who produce (and pay taxes on that) and a small minority of people who don't (because they either can't work or the abuse the system).

I'm not sure how the swiss handled the lockdowns, if it was more "open" (like the swedes did) or if they shut everything down, but here (in slovenia), we shut a bunch of businesses down (most of the service industry, most of the shops, etc.) and the government basically paid freshly printed EU money to all those people to stay at home on a "paid vacation" (80% of the paycheck they'd otherwise get), which was great for them (and made them not-protest), but on the other hand, a great middle finger to the rest of the people, and the consequences of all that printed money, that we see now.

This is about as scientific as the Drake equation.

Invading across terrestrial or maritime borders != invading across light years of space. Invading a fellow homo-sapiens nation whose infrastructure, natural and human resources are perfectly compatible with your own is not the same as invading an alien species on an exo-planet across the galaxy.
The interesting thing here which nobody seems to be discussing is the btc price fell by > 5% in one instant, not over the course of a day or even an hour. What kind of massive trade caused it?
At the risk of explaining my objection; it's not about the joke but about the premise of history rhyming generally being an artifact of overzealous pattern matching and the implicit exclusion of cases that don't match the target pattern.
Imagine the convenience of having all of your life inside these integrated apps. Then imagine the horror when one day you go to turn on your MacBook and your Apple account has been deleted because you did something that you were unaware of.

Tensions with “houseless residents” escalating in Portland
I agree, this is still a problem to solve. Current inflation levels are evidence of that.

The problem is bitcoin is being treated like an investment because of “greater fool theory” and no one is treating it like a currency in any meaningful way. It’s crashing because it’s not showing its value as an effective currency. At least not yet. Right now it’s a store for excess liquidity and that makes it too volatile to function as a currency.
I would have to see evidence about this inflation-risk Bitcoin-price theory.

The argument of dumbest meaning is just to say that the BTC bull run was just because of a bunch of bored people speculating.

When I'm in clamshell mode, I love having an external trackpad. I used to have a trackball mouse which was decent enough - it's just that it was a pain when working in Adobe products & Figma and wanted gestures. I see no need to go back to a regular mouse or use anything else.

Personally, I haven't noticed any fatigue. I also do have tap to click mode on which I feel helps.

> 1) life arose very quickly 2) then proceeded to do very little for billions of years.

This is understating the feats of unicelular life. Those tiny organisms essentially terraformed the whole planet in those billions of years, oxidizing nearly all the iron close to earth surface, burying most carbon and then pumping so much oxygen in the atmosphere that at a point it comprised 30% of Earth gaseous envelope by weight. I wouldn't call that very little. To come close we'll need at least to terraform Mars or Venus, to match the feats of our microbial forebears.
Ask HN: How to successfully invest despite dyscalculia?
Let's say you are overwhelmed by investing world (so many instruments to choose from, each taxed in a slightly different way, each with different risks), while numbers don't make much sense to you (percentages, FX rates, etc.). You tried investing in the past, made a ton of mistakes you didn't really feel you learned much from, so you don't trust yourself with money anymore. How do you keep your savings away from inflation?
Still, no war in ruzzia, as in mikkergp's nonchalant statement.

Beside, you can't bring the war to ruzzia, everybody knows, they will get away with their war crimes.
They have nukes and they give a shit, plain and simple.

Realpolitik.
Physical things this need maintenance, repair, and eventually replacement. Needs change over time.

If the buildings around you have a lifespan of 50-100 years and you aren’t replacing 1% or 2% of them every year, then you are falling behind. If population is growing due to births, increases in life expectancy, or an influx of immigrants/refugees then housing construction must account for that as well.
TIL about "spindump". These kind of triage reports are really useful for learning more about macOS. THink about it: when is the last time any of you read a user manual for an OS? macOS doesn't even have one. You're just expected to figure out how to use the GUI, and unless you pay for a class, debug through the command line is StackOverflow. Thanks OP for writing this up.
Inflation is the expansion of the money supply (eg by money printing). A long term rise in prices (houses, stocks, CPI) is the consequence of inflation, just as a rising water level in a lake is the result of rain. The global economy is like a lake with growing capacity, so prices UNDERSTATE the true rate of inflation.
> The main reason why nobody uses nukes or why are there no direct wars between world powers anymore is nuclear proliferation.

This is sadly true, plus it also means that any nuclear capable country can invade a non nuclear capable one and mostly get away with it.
Is ‘fake data’ the real deal when training algorithms?
It is unlikely that ordinary Americans have any say in what country will be bombed next.

Whatever happens there always be an excuse that the general public will eat up: propaganda would find a reason for further nukes like they found for the first one. Mutual assured destruction is the real reason that stops the lizards who control US military from deploying nukes.

You know, given the advances in AI/drones, etc the believe in MAD might weaken so you may possibly witness nukes yourself (and likely approve their deployment for "reasons").
What is "Long COVID" and how was it proved that all participants in the study "have" it?
There is nothing “surely” about eventually being seen as a resource to be consumed.

Statistically, people in long-term committed relationships have more stable incomes, longer lives, and better outcomes than those who don’t [1]. The direction of causality is somewhat unclear, but that such a relationship exists at all is a fairly strong refutation of your claim.

Which isn’t to say that all of them work out or that it is always sunshine and rainbows. But there is nothing inevitable about the outcome you claim. It’s actually lower probability.

At the same time, those extra safety and efficiency capabilities might be offset by the fact that they are much more vehicles on the road and gas prices how much higher than they were in the 1970s. Granted, gas prices in the 1970s might be a bad example. But it’s just very hard to measure added utility in the face of increased requirements of the society around you.
