> For IP, others selling copies would restrict your ability to sell copies as they undercut you.

Just because you own something does not mean you automatically have a right to receive the revenue you want.

Being undercut by free when selling copies of x is absolutely natural for a medium where producing any additional copy of item x is free and can be done by anyone.

Want to be paid for the original new content, then sell that. Plenty of new content is already being funded that way. And before IP existed, all creative content was funded that way.

What IP allows you is to instead of demanding a bounded ammount of compensation for a bounded ammount of creative output (demand payment per creative work), you instead can demand an unlimited ammount of compensation.

IP is monopoly rights and undermines physical property.
RDAs are opinions, not science. They are guesses based on averages, which in many cases do not apply at all to any given individual.

The only way that RDAs are even remotely useful is if one is eating a standard diet where many vitamins and minerals are of lesser bioavailability as they are in the form of meat. In terms of vitamin C, there's a reason why meat eaters don't get scurvy, which is that meat contains other compounds that make the need for exogenous vitamin C much less necessary.

That is precisely why RDAs are mostly nonsense. Absolute values for micronutrients mean very little when you don't account for the food substrate, cofactors, an individual's overall health, what a person weighs, what their body composition is, etc.

Somehow, humans (the Homo genus, to be exact), got away without RDAs for millions of years. And they ate lots of meat.

> I hope beef liver is in your daily diet, otherwise you're also going to come up short in a bunch of other micros.

No, humans do not have to eat organ meat. There is no evidence for this. Skeletal muscle and fatty tissues, particularly that from large ruminant animals, provide everything that a human body needs to function optimally.

> If you're also strength training you also need to go above the RDA for certain micros (e.g, Vit C, B vitamins, Calcium, ...) making it even harder.

The human body does not contain an RDA meter. As I already discussed, RDA is an opinion that only makes sense when a certain set of vitamins and minerals are viewed in isolation. The RDA and RDI hypotheses fall apart when all the other variables of human diet and health come into play.

> This diet is pure pseudoscience.

Yeah... I guess stable isotope data is pseudoscience as well, but RDA is rock solid. Right.

>I think we are seeing a global trend of mankind rediscovering urban life.

In the US at least, pre-pandemic the trend was primarily an uptick in the number of young college-educated professionals specifically wanting to live in (certain) cities. By comparison, when I finished grad school in the mid-80s, and took a job at a computer company in suburban Boston like quite a few classmates, pretty much no one elected to live in the city.

>virtue emojis on Twitter and GitHub

That's pretty unnecessarily negative/uncharitable. I know people (usually older) who are perfectly un-self-interested and unconditionally sympathetic to all people who use "virtue emojis" very innocently/sincerely on their social media. All you have is the word of my anecdote, but these individuals are not engaging in self-promotion (unless one expansively defines it to include all unprovoked expressions of thought/opinion). These same people wouldn't be caught dead wearing flashy, "fashionable" clothing, or otherwise self-promoting in the spirit of competition.

Having lived in Austin for decades now, I believe that, unfortunately, articles like this one have turned Austin into the equivalent of a meme stock.

From basically the early 90s to somewhere 2015ish or so, by far Austin's biggest draw was its affordability. Austin had a lot of desirable amenities: a rising industry in tech, the largest university in the state and an educated population to boot, geography that invites lots of things to do outside with its several lakes and Hill Country.

However, and I say this as somebody who has loved Austin enough to live here the majority of my life, Austin has always underperformed major cities in nearly every category. Our cultural institutions (theater, music, dance, museums, etc.) are all second-rate compared to major coastal cities. We just got our first major sports team with an MLS team. Our infrastructure, especially around transportation, is notoriously bad. The one thing I really agreed with in the article relates to our architecture - it really does generally suck, especially compared to places like SF or NY or Boston or Chicago.

But, since it was so much more affordable than these other cities, on balance it was worth it, and then some. Now, though, that affordability is pretty much gone (dinky suburban houses easily top a million bucks), and with the influx of folks like Musk and Joe Rogan you just feel like the hype around this town has far outstripped its reality. So you have folks writing missives like this about the elusive "soul" of Austin, where I have a feeling they're trying to convince themselves it's as "cool" as their dreams.

Also, there are some glaring inaccuracies in this article:

> A friend tells me that downtown Austin doesn’t have any building restrictions, which means there’s going to be an explosion of high-rise growth

That's BS, as Austin famously has "Capitol View Corridors" that greatly restrict height on tons of downtown lots.
Competition isn't allowed to flourish when the market leaders use their runaway profits to buy up any and all possible contenders. My point is that this exact process can be seen across our economy, because anti-competitive behaviour is inherent to the economic system we live in. This is not controversial.

Being promoted to middle management.
I've seen no credible evidence it can be improved, all attempts at doing so, and we've been at this for over a hundred years now, all attempts at doing so have sucked for those involved, in a real dystopian boot-stomping-on-face-forever sort of a way.

The problem is that while you can convince someone briefly that your new utopia is a good idea, as the years go by, people start having other ideas, they start wanting things. Self-interest never really went away. So you need to stop them from thinking wrong and wanting the wrong things and having the wrong ideas, and the only way to do that is through oppressive totalitarianism.

Human institutions ossify and start to serve the ends of their own power accumulation, no matter how noble their initial ideals and goals were.

I don’t have any practical suggestions for you but I recently read the novel “True Biz”[1] and it was a really great introduction to Deaf culture. I can’t remember the last time I learned so much from a work of fiction. The author also deliberately doesn’t use quotation marks so the formatting of the dialog makes reading and understanding it a little jarring at first which is a neat way for a book to subtly drop the reader into a situation where language and communication don’t really behave the way you expect and you’re forced to adjust accordingly.

For the Benefit of Mankind, by Cixin Liu?
I see many C++ programmers say stuff like this, and maybe it is the case that studios exist which can do C++ without mistakes related to memory management or sigils and so on, but I also observe that:

1. High quality teams like the Linux kernel team and PostgreSQL, do periodically have serious security bugs that are things Rust would have caught.

2. I see sometimes C++ instructors making the same claims you do and then spending half of a lesson tracking down a memory mistake, (Casey Muratori) or in the same month a tweet from a game engine developer saying they don't really see the value of garbage collection and then tweeting about how they spent 48 hours tracking down a memory mistake. (of course, for a game engine that is what you have to do sometimes!)

There are however valid questions, like if Rust slows down your development say, 5%, would you get more net safety from spending 5% more time testing/fuzzing c++ code instead? etc.

A good petrol car can be bought used for $15-20k. Comparing the price of a new one to an EV is a false equivalency because you can't buy used EVs for anywhere near that.

TCO only favors EVs if you drive enough to offset fuel, oil changes, and maintenance. All bets are off if you replace the battery.
Yes, I think that's the issue.

I built a reasonably popular typechecker for PHP, so I have some experience with the DX for these sorts of programs. I don't think it's good for a couple of ASCII characters and line breaks to be the difference between an acceptable and an unacceptable type annotation. It requires, as you say, for the OCaml type system to be burned into people's minds for them to immediately spot the issue.

In a similar context Rust will just say "function expected 5 arguments, you gave it 4" which has a very obvious remediation.
Getting too creative with money historically leads to ordinary people losing their savings and homes.

1980s penny stocks. 1995-2005 Enron creative accounting. 2008 subprime mortgages. 2017-21 crypto ICOs and DeFi.

Maybe we don't need any more ultra-creative capitalism, but better regulation and shared financial digital commons where interoperability is guaranteed by government mandate. The EU has been quite successful in making Eurozone cross-country banking just work for the ordinary consumer and small business.

After all money itself isn't the point, the business it enables is. Money should ideally get out of the way and not make you think about it, but crypto so far has taken the opposite approach where the money itself is everything and nothing is actually being traded.

And myriads of instances where helping others makes your life better. In-fact, not to help other people is unequivocally a horrible and myopic decision.

You know what this tells me? Manganese deficiency probably plays a role in metabolic disorders and trouble losing weight with exercise.

CNDP2, the enzyme that helps make lac-phe (N-[(S)-lactoyl]-L-phenylalanine) needs manganese as a cofactor.

https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q96KP4

If you are deficient in Manganese, or need more Manganese because genetics, they you will not make as much lac-phe after working out.

And indeed they find that manganese deficiency is related to metabolic disorders.

Land will always be scarce. People multiply until that land gets to the limit of what it can provide.

Energy is also scarce. A limited amount of solar energy falls on the Earth, and if you need more than that, it gets very expensive (from space somehow).

Food is limited by labor (which scales with people) but also by energy and land (which do not).

As such, there will always be scarcity, signalled through prices. One way of making resources more abundant per person is capping/reducing population.

First, programmable money is obviously a bad thing - you only need look at the large number of disasters in the DeFi space.

Second, it's not really democratized if only the rich can afford the transaction fees.

Third, what does "democratized access to money" even mean? Does it solve the problem of poor people being unable to access financial services? Not that I've heard. I don't know anyone who doesn't have access to a bank account but is able to store their money on the blockchain. Does it mean something else I'm not thinking of?

> It's not 'semantics', it's the opposite of 'semantics'.

Is there an opposite of "semantics"? Isn't semantics just the topic around the meaning of words and communication? Is the opposite just everything else?

Anyways the point was that Coinbase is likely acting not because it extends the "practical usefulness" of their products, i.e. it adds no new features or functionality. They are likely acting out of regulatory necessity.

The semantic argument is whether regulatory necessity falls under "practical usefulness". I'd argue no, as the usefulness of their product as it applies to users either doesn't change or actually goes down as a result of this, but one can similarly argue that not satisfying regulators likely results in the loss of the product altogether.

> It's not mostly 'terrorism and protect the children' - it's tax evasion, wire fraud, bribery, insider trading, financial fraud, scams etc.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? Collecting beneficiary data is useful for things like redundant checks against sanction lists such as OFAC (terrorism, organized crime, and human trafficking falls under here). I don't see how tax evasion, insider trading, and bribery even apply here.

- Tax evasion would likely deal with the exchange reporting both trades and received funds for a user, neither of which applies to beneficiary data on outgoing funds afaik

- How is insider trading relevant here? Would that not be dependent on trading and not the transferring of assets. Does providing beneficiary data do anything to shed light on trading with privileged data?

- Bribery? Maybe, but seeing as this still happens fairly regularly with traditional finance, I doubt that this will curb much behavior.

> We mostly derive our protections from 'government overreach' via the constitution, not anonymity.

I assume you are talking about the US constitution which doesn't much apply to non-US persons. The US Constitution doesn't provide much context or protection around the financial system either.

I had a phase when I would wear expensive clothes. I thought that this way I would show the world that I am someone. You know an ego boost. But then I realised that almost nobody really cares and those people who care about these things are not the people I would like to be associated with.
Then when realise that this expensive piece of clothing is actually cheap and made by near slave workers somewhere in a third world country, you realise that you actually look stupid in those clothes.
Since then I only care if the clothing is made of good material and preferably in my own country - but this is not a given - it may say it's made in my country, but it could have been made in Asia but without tags.
