The web is the wrong analogy/comparison for Bitcoin. Bitcoin was never designed or intended to be anything like the web. It was designed to be a money and payments system, no more no less. If you must compare it to anything, compare it to dollars, euro, yen, gold coins, etc.

From the perspective of someone who has worked in the film industry: how a crew interacts with and treats bystanders is generally very telling about where they are on the "amateur-professional" scale.

In my experience, professional productions are usually very intentional about not getting in the way of people just trying to go about their day. We were filming at a busy coffee shop in January, and we held for filming whenever a customer wanted to buy a coffee. The producers were pretty serious about not disrupting the business we were filming at.

Crypto is inherently very different than gambling.

People have been doing highly speculative investment in many different areas and this is clearly not something that will die.

Crypto has been a fantastic vehicle for that because of the hype and the lack of regulation, but this won't last, people can't be fooled forever.

Of course there will be other vehicles, hopefully less destructive than this one...
Wire transfers in North America are literally 40 years behind the evolution of bank transfers in EU and UK.

Sending money in Europe is free and increasingly often instantaneous 24/7. It will be very difficult for crypto to reach the level of convenience available on unified infrastructure created through sensible regulation. Lacking that, maybe Americans will have to keep settling for all these clunky, incompatible intermediated patchwork solutions like Zelle and Venmo and USDC-on-Ethereum and whatever.
Yeah to me he seems genuinely generous. Obviously there is a part of it being done to attract more viewers (Otherwise he could simply not upload the video at all) but from my, granted limited, experience of his videos a lot of the money he makes goes in to making (I.e. donating more) new videos. Very different from getting millions of TikTok views for the price of a flower bouquet.

the "random acts of kindness" narrative is bullshit

you can be kind and helpful without camera rolling

Then I think we may differ on whether we consider consent/agreement a part of kindness. I don't think it's that simple. I think an act can be kind but be delivered in an incompatible way. Asking someone how they're feeling after a breakup can be genuinely kind IMO, even if you didn't realize that that's the last thing they want to think about and asking them caused them to have an emotional breakdown that they blame you for. At this point I'm disregarding the tiktok thing entirely; I would still consider the million dollar gift to anyone an incredibly kind gesture, even if filmed without prior planning/agreement.

I mean, 99% of the reason to have a domain with Cloudflare is their DNS/WAF/CDN and the options you get from having them at the edge. If CF isn’t handling your DNS they can’t provide those services without some very specific configurations that aren’t for the faint of heart.

You can use anybody as a registrar if you don’t want those tools though. CF sells domains at cost so it’s not something they aren’t making money on.

IANAL, but such legislation would be a content-based restriction and, as a result, would be subject to strict scrutiny. Frankly, any such requirement is unlikely to survive strict scrutiny unless it seeks to prohibit currently unprotected expressions (obscenity, incitement to imminent lawless action, etc.). Recording an individual in public isn't one of them.
Any time strategy comes up I chuckle because it's Groundhog Day. Strategy discussions sometimes have no definition, sometimes lots of definitions, but never a shared definition.

Strategy is conflated with vision or mission. People use the word as a noun, an adverb, and an adjective and all the while talking past each other.

Its use across domains, history, and context all with different meanings make it rife for misunderstanding.

I do take it as judgment, because you also said this:

> Raising children is part of the social contract of a society. It’s you who wants it all: to live free from that burden and to benefit from the generation raised at that time as you age.

Here's the deal: I didn't ask to be here. None of us did. Furthermore, society's welfare is no more my concern than my welfare is to society -- assuming society even exists as an entity and isn't an emergent property of interactions between individuals.

I see no reason why I should devote my life, which is likely to be the only one I'll ever get, to serving some abstraction. Whether it's one's god, one's country, or one's society, these are all phantasms that get shoved into your head before you're old enough to fight back and neither of us owe any of them a damned thing. I'm certainly not obligated to provide the Molochian maw of neoliberal capitalism with more sacrificial victims.

If the Ponzi scheme we mistake for an economy crashes because there aren't enough new wage slaves to support the old ones, so be it. I'll roast weenies over this worthless society's funeral pyre before I myself am consumed in the flames.

Besides, my parents didn't want me or any of my brothers. They just wanted to fuck, but didn't have the courage to defy or renounce their Roman Catholic religion that demanded that sex be confined to marriage and only done for procreation. We were just the price they paid for their pleasure.

>> but I don't believe those numbers for the PHEV for a second.

Having driven a PHEV for over 2 years now, I can easily believe them - the main ICE runs so rarely, it's practically brand new. I cover like 90% of my journeys in EV mode alone. I've just done my second service and the brake pads are like 5% worn - after 20kk miles, in a 2.2 tonne SUV. All because of regenerative breaking - it's absolutely remarkable. So yes, I imagine repairs of this car will be cheaper long term, not more expensive - the ICE drive train is going to have fewer problem if you just don't use it half as much.
> and double the capacity in solar, a

you are aware that you are posting on an article about Ontario and Saskatchewan, correct?

How about you go review the tables showing how little solar energy these provinces receive in the winter?

So when we need energy to heat our homes and power our lights, our solar output is also greatly reduced?

Solar may be great further south, where it is sunny all year round, but in the north we need reliable power all year long, including our cold and dark winters.

It doesn't get cold and snow here for no reason, it is caused by the reduction in solar energy we receive.
How did that work for Berlin? Try moving there today and tell me how affordable it is for newcomers.

Rent control is basically subsidizing existing grandfathered tenants by fleecing those new wishing to move in, without fixing the underlying housing shortage in any way.

The solution is always, always, having (building) more supply than the demand, yet nobody seems to get it.
> The problem with these insane prices isn't really that you have disparity within the same country, but that a significant amount of people in these places cannot afford to live in there. You can't have a restaurant because you need to hire waiters but you can't pay waiters enough for them to pay the rent. So your service industry is disrupted or alternatively: people need to commute 1 or 2 hours to get to these jobs.

Haven't you described a problem that fixes itself through market forces? Restaurant waiters move to other cities, restaurants (and millions of other businesses) close, city becomes less desirable, rents go down.

That's a good point and highlights how important it is to make software widely accessible.

When you take into account various types of devices, resolutions, operating systems, use cases, language barriers, user age, vision problems and disabilities the number of possible issues is staggering. I think a well engineered product should never be ignorant of them and cover as much as it can (as long as it's feasible).
> Those price increases incentivize builders to increase the housing stock (which subsequently lowers prices). Capping prices prevents the price mechanism from working, leaving a shortage of housing.

The issue, empirically, is that (a) we don't see the right housing being built, and (b) we don't see quality housing being built. We see a lot of high-end luxury units being built, but what we need are more 1- and 2-bedroom units within 20 minutes (preferably, by affordable public transit) of where people work. We also see a lot of large (and therefore expensive) but cheaply built McMansions that'll be falling down in 20-40 years, so the long-term picture of the housing stock is not improved.

What we need is for the government to step in and build affordable housing as a floor at a controlled price ("commie blocks"). No one will be forced to live in one, of course, but they'll be an option; the rich can still buy property on the market if they're so inclined.

> My landlord takes all the risk of owning the property (prices don’t always go up after all).

If you own your house and control your geography (i.e., you'll never be forced to move due to economic inopportunity) then you have the truly risk-free position. Renters are at much higher risk (log transform, Kelly Criterion) than landlords, because real estate costs are such a high percentage of their
budgets.

The problem, of course, is that owning a house, while it gives you a zero beta to the housing market in theory, still does have the risks you described. For one thing, other people can do things that damage your house's value--both its subjective value as a place to live, and its objective market price--such as building highways and obstructing sun/view. The other issue is that, in today's hypercompetitive world where in decent employment every job search is national (and possibly international) it's impossible to control your geography... you could be laid off and forced to relocate to get your next position.

So, you're not wrong in general. I think it's a wise financial decision for a young person to keep renting one's place--as opposed to renting money to buy a place--but I also think it's inaccurate to imply that landlords are taking more risks than they really are. It really gets on my nerves when rich people and employers talk about how they're "taking all the risk" and therefore deserve more, when the truth is that the poor (involuntarily) take all the risk, because each $100 means so much more to them.
I'm using NetCup for my DNS. They're based in Germany, operate from Nürnberg and expanded to Vienna (Austria) a while ago. DNS can be managed via Web UI (which I use) or API (but no ddclient support). I am not doing much with my domains besides mail, but afaict it worked as reliable as to be expected. I don't know their political views.

Speaking of ddclient, maybe check supported DNS services: https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient I don't think it's a good measure of quality, but if someone bothered extending ddclient for their service, it's probably not that bad. Plus if you ever find yourself wanting to use ddclient, it's nice having your provider supported. (NetCup is not supported, which is why I have to run an extra service on my Linux box instead of simply using the OpnSense).

The central exchange idea might make sense, but exchanges themselves are a business. Creating a central one is tantamount to mandating a monopoly, which doesn't often result in good things. If I were the SEC, I would do the following:

* Remove reg NMS as it applies to brokers and broker-dealers, allowing them to trade anywhere they want. Keep the requirement that brokers must give a price to customers at or better than the NBBO (but let them trade how they want on the exchanges). This should make brokerage fees cheaper and reduce spreads.

* Require brokers to provide execution quality reports to the public the way that brokerage fees are reported to the public. Brokers would then have to say: "$0 commissions, 0.1% average spreads" or something along those lines. The market for high-fee high-quality brokers would likely develop around that: "$5 commissions, 0.01% spreads" is compelling to people who trade large blocks. Hedge funds and big money traders already test brokers like this.

* Allow and/or require crossing auctions for retail market orders that get to an exchange. Privileging retail orders on exchange and having brokerages advertise their slippage should give "high-commission, low-spread" brokerages the incentive to send most customer orders to an exchange, and a mechanism to get the best possible price from the broader market.

Also, a tiny Tobin tax does currently exist - it funds the SEC. However, adding higher transaction taxes has been tried in Europe, and turned some exchanges into wastelands.

This is a good point :-) I suppose if we gradually evolve language over time then we amortise and reduce any cost. I don't think we necessarily need to go around rewriting any books for most issues - but if this blog author (and others) tweak their language, maybe the next book to be written on the issue will make a more meaningful step forward, without any refactor cost. In any case there seems to be be no argument here that a given author shouldn't choose to tweak their words as they see fit where meaning is still clear - something that the parent commenter was implying as an issue.
