What did you buy with that Monero?

Sure, if you can exchange coins for goods consistently, then the value of that basket of goods is the value of the coin.

ie., take a BTC and go to every store, across the economy, and exchange it for goods. Do that until you've spent all the BTC. Divide by the number of BTC, and that's a reasonable estimate of the value.

However, since you can't do that... and, indeed, doing anything even remotely similar would immedaitely crash the price... there's no basis on which to value crypto. There doesnt seem any rational basis on which anyone would trade 1 BTC (etc.) for anything.

The only reason BTC has a nominal price is that it can't actually be consistenly exchanged, by holders, for goods; and holders are strongly discouraged from doing so by its deflationary design.

Were such opporunities actually presented, tomorrow 1BTC would buy a car, next week a vodka, the week after a pack of gum
Ha, and what bad drinking habits would those be? The popular answer is "drink water", but I didn't do that when I was young and I didn't have hangovers then. These days if I drink two beers and even twice as much fresh water, I'll be miserable the morning after. Consequently, I don't go to bars anymore and I buy a sixpack at the grocery store maybe two or three times a year.

I agree, this is a hard subject, whether people are good or not. I've always believed we're all capable of doing good under certain conditions, but let most get out of their comfort zone and they'll turn on you like a mad dog. (sorry) Proof? just look at our political scene the last 5 plus years. I won't debate any thing ideologically anymore with co-workers, they simply default to anger when you press them to explain how they feel and why about any difficult ideas.

You might enjoy Kitboga's videos![0] His channel is basically him messing with scammers and going on tangents. I really enjoyed his collab with CallMeKevin.[1] There was also one video where he ended up calling a second scammer for "tech support", pitted them against each other, and made them get into a literal rap battle with each other.[2]

Anecdatum of one: I use my M1 chip for gaming (predominantly Minecraft with smatterings of Cities Skyline, Rocket League, etc.)

(I have trained MLs using the Metal version of Torch, too, but generally only tiny textgenrnn things for fun.)
I really think that anything started by a bazillionaire as an instant nonprofit enterprise is bound to fail. It goes for Warren Hellman and Mitch Kapor and the rest of them. Those that start with an immediately sustainable business model, like Cityside, seem to persist.
I mean, he is basically saying that people either love you unconditionally, they love you but not unconditionally, they pretend to love you but are actually using you, or they actively hate you.

That is intentional. Stable identifiers that get transmitted over the internet lead to unavoidable tracking.
I only bring it up because I graduated from art school and now I code all day for my job (I'm older with a family to support) and the difference in my thinking styles is noticeable. Not only to me, but to my friends by the way I speak and in my personality.

This leads me to the "chicken and the egg" question. So often people look at coding as an acquisitionable ability, where as they view creative ability as something you have to be born with, discounting the years if effort that goes into those abilities. Be they cooking, painting, writing, what have you.

Even their test subjects had graduate degrees in creative disciplines. Generally that doesn't bide well for schizoeffective disorders... the comparison to graduate degrees in the arts with graduate degrees in mathematics with schizoeffective disorders is probably near equal, as many papers have linked schizophrenia to a pre-viral load:

Here's the thing, you being a presumably (seen as we're on HN) techie and interested in the concept of computing are thinking "No one would ever want a MacBook running iPad OS"

Executives at Apple will be thinking "People love MacBooks form factor, people love iPadOS and if we ship them together we capture all the value of the Mac software market too"

Now, my personal beliefs are much closer to yours, but my belief of what will play out is what Apple execs believe is best.

Why is this algorithm at all surprising?

(I'm really not trying to brag - I assume I must be missing something, that I'm naïve to think it obviously works, and it actually works for a different reason.)

In plain English - 'for every element, compare to every element, and swap position if necessary' - .. of course that works? It's as brute force as you can get?
Thanks for the clarification—I appreciate it! I will delve more deeply into these definitions. One overall thought, though: is it not within the creator's rights to curtail the rights of the user? (I don't mean this in the sense of "This is how it should be" but rather in pure legalistic terms. My overall point was "Hey, if you don't find a good license and keep the code for yourself, _at least_ put it under CRAPL." I agree that there are better licenses.)

The biggest problem has been Metal and incompatibilities. Metal 3 brings most of the important things they've been missing. We're already seeing companies like crossover working on this to make a lot of additional games work on their hardware.

The second issue is dev relationships. The real AMD/Nvidia advantage over other GPU makers is that they pay huge amounts of money to optimize games to the point that their drivers will detect a game and then completely replace huge sections of the game with optimized versions they wrote. These relationships take a lot of time to establish and maintain.

In any case, supply chain rumors strongly indicate Apple launching a very expensive VR headset in 2023 (which also matches up well with games that would be delivered after a half-billion dollar investment into their gaming subscription service around 2019). There are also rumors of Apple making an offer to buy EA games.

Apple makes more money from games than every other major game company put together. They have a huge interest in moving further this direction going forward. I don't see any way they don't just throw large amounts of money into this problem until it goes away.
I don't understand how a term which almost perfectly describes the group it describes can be offensive to that group.

What specifically is offensive about being called a "Trans-exclusionary radical feminist"? The idea that they are radical feminists? Or the idea that they are seeking to exclude trans women from female discourse (and often forcibly seeking to include trans men)?

Now sure, if I used this term to refer to someone like Donald Trump, I would understand why he would be offended at being called a radical feminist, but the people who are seeking to label this "a slur" are exactly radical feminists like JK Rowling who happen to also hate trans identities.

This reminds me of the billionaire who was claiming "billionaire" has become a slur since people use it with a negative connotation. If you're a billionaire and people happen to not like billionaires, they're not being offensive when they're calling you that.

It doesn't even have the mocking grandiose tone of the "Warrior" in SJW used to describe people who are commenting online...

Note: this is not the same as slurs like the infamous n-word, since those were designed as insults, often referring to a hated/perceived as inferior natural characteristic or a mocking comparison. They were not descriptive terms referring to beliefs of a group that the speaker disagreed with.
It's more complicated because these clang tools need a compilation database.

The reasons are extremely complex and europe is an incredibly diverse region.

As a European I have observed 2 key reasons you don’t see a “Silicon Valley of europe” - cultural and regulatory.

In my home country it is not applauded when you start a company. People are extremely conservative and are mainly focused on working at one of the large conglomerates. This is a small example of the cultural blocker but the entrepreneurial spirit you see in SV and US is very different from elsewhere in the world.

Re: regulatory there are many barrier, each country is different. In France, for example, the process of firing someone is very difficult. To the degree that US founders and operators are very hesitant to hire in the country.

I expect many will disagree with the above but you asked so I’m giving you my opinion. Somehow, despite all of the negative sentiment you hear towards America and the occasional “I’m moving to Europe” comments we see on the internet - one thing is still true. We have yet to see a true rival to Silicon Valley somewhere else in the world.
By all means, strengthen your core and back muscles. Carrying babies around is no joke and I spent years in pain because of a bad movement trying to pick up my daughter.
The way DAI has been explained to me, this is not likely to happen unless USDC transactions are frozen entirely. Otherwise there's just going to be a flood of USDC collateral liquidations from DAI.

As much as I like XMR, you have to admit that you are still paying the (albeit very competitive and CPU-based) miners for verifying your transaction, in both the transaction fee and inflation due to tail emission.
I have information that the abysmal filth is still in place: "Sito sotto sequestro".

I wonder how your provider overrides it. Is it too much of a wet dream to think that some operators (behind the DNS) responded to the requests of the vacuously appointed low scum* with disdainful neglect? In terms of "If you really had any credential for existence but some forms of physical expression, we would say that you must be joking - before putting the proof of your vilty in the trash archival it deserves".

What grinds my gears is the slow transitions between each step. Like, it takes a couple of seconds to do anything. But you also forgot all the upsells.

Choose burger -> wait for screen -> choose unmodified -> wait for screen -> choose just burger, no menu -> wait for screen -> no, I don't also want to add a doughnut -> wait for screen to go back to main screen -> start checkout -> no, I don't want to add X to my order -> wait -> confirm order -> select pay now -> try to beep my card but it doesn't work -> look at screen and see I have to select "card" (but it's the only option wtf make me choose?)
Nobody is trying to tell you that you can't have a completely different meal for less than the cost of a McDonald's chicken sandwich.
Just because it hasn't been tested in court yet doesn't mean it's legal, my friend. It's an easy fix. Ask each dev for permission or provide attribution as per each license when the same code comes out of the model. Easy peasy.
You have the same problem with commercial newspapers, though. The L.A. Times is nothing more than a 100-year-long real estate pump and dump. Almost every newspaper in America relies on car dealer ads, and will therefore never say anything even slightly negative about cars. Cars and real estate have had their thumbs and the rest of their hand on the scale for a long time.
Individuals authorized to speak for companies who state these lies need to personally liable. If someone at the company lied to them to get them to say it, they should be able go after them, like a chain of stolen goods.

Permitting spokespeople to lie is not only toxic, but explicitly removes the equality of information necessary to a functioning free market. It's in everyone's interest to punish it.
I absolutely fall in the category of crypto haters, for technical, political and moral reasons, and I can't help but feel some joy and excitement when I see it crashing.

Of course I am aware of my strong bias, I don't think I will ever be neutral on this subject, but it does not matter as this bias is only affecting my personal decisions.

Is it even possible to build a neutral judgment on this thing?

Airbnb is down 58% from its 52-week high. I'm not sure the point you're making though. Even if high-flying stocks went down 99% that's not a defense of crypto per se. "Stocks go down" isn't a redemption of the crypto narrative.

That said, if you did want to use tech stocks as a comparison, Bitcoin is the flagship asset of crypto, and meant to be the most stable (deflationary etc.) so more akin to Apple. Apple is essentially flat over the past year.

> It's not a conflation

It is. You used slightly different phrasing, trying to broaden the conversation to act like it's part of a refutation of points being brought by who you respond to.

> > Users rarely, if ever, install apps

> I can also match with anecdotes of users intentionally avoiding the app in favor of the mobile site for

This is derailing..again. I was bringing up an experience that is familiar to anyone who has friends & family (someone who install every app they can). Matching anecdotes adds nothing, as you just want to argue rather than try to understand how your perceptions are biased against reality.

App usage dwarfs web usage because someone installed the app. You're just wrong and I can't tell if it's disingenuous. This discussion is not worth working around your constant attempts to avoid the points at hand and I will have to assume you're just another unintentional luddite.

> The majority of traffic is mobile and apps still rule that platform due to both a superior experience and better interfaces.

To the point of UI superiority (you know, the original contention between us), it's trivial to account for trying to put a url in to a mobile device vs an icon for an app. That alone is a superior UI. The app gives a better experience, on average.

Aren't there more bitcoins in circulation now than in 2018? I know it's not a ton more, but if BTC drops to the same market cap as in 2018, the price of each coin will actually be less than $5000.

Pubs were closing long before the internet appeared, albeit in smaller numbers.

The main driver, in my opinion, is specialisation. We've got a much more professional workforce these days, with more specialist skills, who for this reason often have to travel for some distance to get to their places of work. That means far less time to go to the pub. Combined with modern media, it's just easier to sit indoors. People have posted other points elsewhere on this thread - they're all contributing (plus drink driving laws and smoking bans).

I mean, a lot of people used to stop working at lunchtime and spend the afternoon in the pub.

Now, if home working holds up, and then inflation abates a bit, perhaps pubs might regain an advantage, but I fear we're now in a new "steady state", and it'd take more to change things back.
Lol, you had me there NGL.

Code is a non-linear medium, depending on the path one takes thought the graph and the scale one operates at clean might mean a very different thing. Take a long look at the history of ideas, it might be obvious looking back that thing should be the way they are, but no one just knows them as if they are a prophet. Even if there are sign of something being ugly or a hack this does not give any guidance as what direction to take next.
I also think that as a new wave of Covid-19 infections is incoming, we could very soon all be asked, or even forced, to work from home.

Yeah, but then you're having to learn all the special cases for when it silently gives wrong answers, and hope to hell that you didn't miss any.

Much better to have consistency and behave the same way all the time, than to optimise for 3 keystrokes and introduce all sorts of special exceptions that the programmer must memorise.

From what I can see, ABNB stock closed at 91.41 on Friday, and the 52 week high was 212.58. That comes out to the stock being down 57% by my calculations, but could be I’m missing something.

I wear a watch, even when I walk the dogs. Why? I have always liked them. It's a creature comfort, and it only takes a quick flick and glance to know what time it is.

The watch I wear most has a built-in mentalism gimmick, so that's handy if you're into such things. My other favourite watch has a built-in satellite ntp client and is solar powered. I even have a nice modern looking pocket watch for when the occasion calls for it.

I always have my cell phone with me, so most of what a smart watch does is already happening in my pocket. Their ability to monitor heart and blood oxygen is about the only thing they do that is interesting to me, and I don't really need to be that aware of them throughout the day. Maybe when they stop looking like toys.
It doesn’t allow me to do this. If I ask to create a timer and then ask to create another I’m asked if I want to replace the previous one.

> They were annoyed people they disliked were getting rich and now feel “vindicated” the bubble is popping.

This doesn't accurately reflect the source of my opprobrium, or many other commenters here. I don't particularly care about whether cryptocurrencies make people stinking rich. I care that they're terrible for the planet, morally and civically corrosive, and have hurt people that I care about (in the forms of scams, lies, and false advertising around returns).

As far as I concerned, many (but not all) of these critiques apply to the last 15 years of startups as well. The proximate causes might be slightly different (adtech and cheap VC money), but the outcomes are very similar. So you won't find me dancing on one grave and sobbing over the other. I'll be practicing my Hopak[1] instead.

My mom was diagnosed around 2003, extremely aggressive breast cancer, they gave her around 9 months as I recall.

It went into remission. Treatment was very effective. Her doctor had no idea how such an aggressive cancer was put into remission so quickly.

Around 3 years later it was back despite routine checks and her being clear of cancer. This time it was everywhere very suddenly, yet it took 4 years to kill her. Such an awful way to go.
Tesla is far ahead. Cruise was literally in the news like 2 days ago because their entire fleet just stopped driving in the middle of an intersection and dozens of their staff had to drive out to the cars and manually take them back to the parking lot.
