Interesting question. I like the WeWork and Quibi examples. Imagine most of the Nasdaq being made of companies like that and you get an idea of 2000. 00 and then the GFC I think really hammered home business plans and path to profit in the broader market.

Crypto though I think is where we will see an 00 style collapse. Many of the companies are scams or lightly disguised gambling platforms. The technology is poorly implemented in many cases, leading to theft. There are also a large amount of drifters just taking people's money. Maybe crypto has protected the broader market by being a honeypot for all the exuberant behavior? IDK.

I think you should be careful discounting social networks. Meta, as one analyst I read said, is a cash volcano. IMO, ATT effects for Meta and Google are overblown because they have so many properties to gather data from. Ads on both platforms work and are valuable. Though they are not immune from general economic slowdowns.

Even though TikTok is private, the little that has leaked shows them doing extremely well. Twitter has been mismanaged for years. Musk is right that Twitter should be a decent business, but it remains to be seen if he can get it there.

While I'm pontificating, and since you also mentioned Netflix :) another spot I see about to implode is content spend. Look at how much Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc... have spent creating content the last 5ish years, and then look at how much they charge a family for the access. There is no way that level of spend continues. We have been living in a golden age for content with the variety and amount, and I think that is about to end. With the increase in rates and the market pullback overall, content spend is going to have to get cut.
This whole 'grind' narrative is construed as a distraction. "Stay busy. Don't raise your head. If you're not to exhausted to have an original thought you don't deserve to be fed and housed." This is some perverse manipulation.

You should not conflate focus and effort with physical busy work. Grind means literally to wear down physically. Theoretical physicists don't 'grind' by any stretch of the imagination.

People should absolutely be allowed to be comfortable, free of immediate concerns with acquiring resources to survive. As OP puts it, 'freed from societies expectations of sweat, tears and busy work'

Arguing against this right is drinking the elite's cool aid. If you don't profit from exploiting the working class, you shouldn't see a problem with setting them free.
> When I called, the dispatcher sent my request to the local fire chief, who then reached out to me, asked how he could help, and then sent a crew over to help monitor the lobby, retake vitals on patients, and do a roll call to ensure our patient list was accurate. We were all incredibly grateful for their help.
> this person who represents the circumspect nursing community seemingly took even more additional circumspect care in phoning it in. When a lot of people in such a situation would have probably given up much earlier and perhaps even lost their composure & ability to work completely.

Remember y'all, every single nurse must be a superhuman who can deal with an infinite amount of stress of they're not a "real nurse". If only owners who didn't staff enough people in their medical facilities weren't "real owners" of said facilities, I think that would fix a lot of our issues.
> "hey, create me a view of all the weather data from the past year correlated against x and y in z view format"

Ironically, I think only technical people would even want to do something like that. The less technical you get, the more high level (and ambitious) you need to go.

You can see this a lot in game dev questions. Beginner questions will be "How do I make an MMORPG?" and the more advanced questions will be "how do I return x from y" or whatever, and then it scales between the two ends of the spectrum.
> We’re told, "You make good money. You chose this career. If you don’t like it, why don’t you just quit?" [...] My response to them was, "Do you REALLY want nurses to 'just quit' if they don’t like their jobs? Think that one through a little further."

Great response.
It calls .dismiss() expecting the PUK screen but it's a different object instead. This is the kind of thing that OOP rely on.
Even if exchanges don't (on paper) loan on their capital, they still must have their USD somewhere, and that bank will surely be lending it out.

These exchanges are so big that a run on them would cause a run on the institutions they bank with, so you'd still get a liquidity squeeze somewhere, even with everyone acting with the best intentions.

And given recent history it's hard to know which exchanges haven't been loaning out their capital.

Black swan? Or just a white swan in a tar pit?
Not true. People may be desperate to cash out and be selling their USDT ASAP.
Soli != hardware for face unlock.

It had 2xIR cameras, flood illuminator and a dot project for that purpose.
Soli was a gimmick on top of that, so it would enable that hardware above when you were reaching with your hand for the phone.

In my case it was a gimmick because I don't see much difference between face unlock times when I reach for the phone and the most useful feature for me (swiping to change music) was working also when my windshield had wipers working.

I dream of a Pixel with normal face unlock (like in Pixel 4, not the crippled on in Pixel 7) but without Soli.

I can't believe that they ditched it after just one generation, now I'm stuck. And only reason to upgrade would be a Pixel that has photos >12mpix (not just the sensor).
Return to peg wouldn't really indicate anything about collateral... we are watching secondary market, apparently only the big boys (100k+ players) are interacting with bitfinex directly.
> I think it's weird, almost dishonest or shifty to have the camera off

It's the opposite for me. With the camera on, I could be zoomed in and focusing on a part of your face and you don't know it. That feels dishonest.

Camera off is like a phone call. Nothing dishonest or shifty about that.
You can't really keep $69,613,437,845.79 (at time of writing) in a bank. At that point, you are the bank. In the case of Tether, Deltec in the Bahamas. https://www.deltecbank.com/about-us/?locale=en

Tether themselves seem to be based in Taiwan: https://assets.ctfassets.net/vyse88cgwfbl/RPHIloRD3eE4J5QYNR...

Taiwan's extradition situation is .. informal. Because Taiwan does not officially exist. But there have been extraditions from Taiwan to the US.
This crunch appears to be going lower than the May dip. We shall see what happens!
lol- Tether has never honored any real redemption requests, near as I can tell.

That is an extremely bad take. Could have said the same about Luna, Celsius, 3AC, FTX, etc.
What's your ratio of handwritten words to typed? Is this an even sample or could it be that very few now haven't done the bulk of their lifetime writing with a keyboard of some sort?

In fact, how much reading of hand written text have you done? You know, where this kind of error could be seen? I suspect not much, because not many people write anything like that much anymore.

40 years ago I helped type my father's writings, from legal pad first drafts. He gave up longhand drafts and went straight to keyboard not long after that. I suspect I'm fairly rare in having had this experience.
The response by the hospital is gold. You couldn’t get it any more perfectly meaningless if it was a layoff notice from Mark Zuckerberg.

I'm not criticizing for calling 911 for help, but wouldn't have calling another local hospital been a better option? The fire chief sending over his staff potentially leaves him short staffed. I can't imagine that a local fire department has that many people to spare.
> The real reason why people are "migrating" to Mastodon right now (and can't seem to stop talking about it on Twitter) is one and one only: to signal their tribal affiliation.

Having a Twitter account is largely also about this. There is a "Twitter Tribe", and people feel it deeply as part of their identity. This is why there is so much emotion around the Musk acquisition.
Reminded of when the UK was unable to defend the stablepound against, er, Soros: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/black-wednesday.asp
In May Tether went down to a whopping 0.9982 USD and people cried it was the end of Tether. It recovered.

In April 2017 Tether went down to 0.9213 USD and people cried it was the end of Tether. It recovered too.

Don't get me wrong, I think eventually Tether will fall, it's all just too shady to survive long-term. But I don't think it seems it's happening now and I'm not sure it'll even happen like this. It'll start out with rumors that people can't redeem their USDT for USD, and people will pull out in a flash crashing Tether/Bitfinex in the process. It'll be faster and harder than what we've seen before.

And by the metrics so far, it's not fast nor hard enough to cause this.
Also - if you're tempted to point to stocks, etc. and say investing generates a return. That's correct. Because ultimately that capital is being deployed in a resource-generating activity.

E.g. you're financing a factory, that takes a thing and turns it into a more valuable thing. Or a software company which ultimately saves people time. Dig deeply enough into it and you see an actual rersource-generating activity at some level of abstraction. The net resource-consumption of crypto AND the cash outflows (rugpulls, exchanges, VCs, phishing) is truly staggering.

It doesn't matter if you convert that real-world loss into casino chips, then 17 credit cards, then chocolate-coated Monopoly money. Those abstractions aren't serving a purpose. They're there purely to obscure that clear underlying resource-loss as long as possible.
Not gp but I've so many questions!

We'll I'll just ask two:
Suppose to buy my house the seller wants cash. I take out my cash and give it to the seller. Ok fine, but the bank is creating money out of thin air, where does the cash come from if lots of people do the same?

Follow up: more realistically, I wire money to the seller, what actually happens between the banks? It seems like bank A creates money from nothing and sends it to bank B, what is stopping bank A from sending out an infinite amount of money to other banks?
Seems so weird to me to read that a request for extra medial staff would go to firefighters. Intellectually I know the US has a combined Firefighter/Paramedic crew, but it's still jarring to read it.

Do other countries merge firefighting and ambulance functions or is it a US only thing?

> mass scale "creative-accounting"

Indeed, and these schemes tend to fall apart when money is no longer free (i.e. there exists a non-zero interest rate).

Also, in the process of the interest rate becoming non-zero, existing bonds fall in price (because investors would prefer the newer, higher-yield coupons).

The mistake (and also the reason for existence) of Tether was the ability to invest the money. Fractional reserve.

When your business model counts on investments always going up, you might go out of business.

An alternative would be to go show a bunch of journalists that you can unlock their phone and have this all over the news. You get your name /really/ out there for holding Google accountable for security negligence and ignoring a very reasonable 90 day window. The exposure could lead to millions in security consulting contract work over time if played right.

Disclosing on time is a way to force companies to fix the bugs, and to get a major social capital boost that can be used to get a return on the time investment.

Personally I love when companies try to call my bluff. Great chance to educate the public on why they should not be trusted.

Binance holds $17.6B worth of USDT and $21.7B of its own stablecoin BUSD. So it would be an ugly picture for them if Tether depegged.
so thinking about this.

assumption: bitfinex has "dollars" to backup every USDT.

If bitfinex will buy a USDT for a $1 if it drops below $1 to maintain the peg, they can do this because they have "dollars" backing each share.

however, they would also have to destroy that USDT on purchase (as they just spend the $1 backing it). They could print more USDT (/ sell that back) for $1 and they would be whole again, but if there is downwards pressure on USDT, one should expect to see the market cap for tether to drop while bitfinex is buying/destroying currently existing USDT.

If one doesn't see this drop, wouldn't that be indicative of a problem?

> If that's the case tomorrow someone can create a new token, say is 1-1 with USD, collect a few billions and run away?

Hasn't that happened a few times? Luna, Celsius?
This is not a result of the wider recession directly. More a result of repeated, clear demonstration that the entire crypto "economy" is built on scams of one kind or another. FTX is the biggest yet and more people are realizing, rationally, they are no longer comfortable having significant money in crypto.
> FTX just imploded because they didn't realize this simple fact.

They fully knew this. There is no business in keeping USD in USD (or US bonds for that matter.)

The pro crypto people will say "Banks are the same, they don't actually have a vault full of dollars to honor all deposits". And that part is true. If everyone went to Bank of America right now and asked for all their money in cash the bank would say no.

But, what the crypto people are not telling you is that the US Government would step in and take ownership of the bank and give everyone their deposits back in checks within a few months or weeks. And because this feature of US Government regulation exists there is not going to be a bank run on Bank of America. Tether does not have this protection, so, people can panic, for good reason.
Except that you lose your best people this way, rather than average/worst.
Can you give an example
Tether actually doing redemptions? Never really happened, as far as I am aware.

It's a great response within some filter bubbles but among the general public there's no shortage of people who think that nothing will change until there are bodies that need to be explained away and that getting it over with sooner rather than later will result in less bad things overall.
It’s too early to believe they’re going to collapse. They managed to shrink the market capitalization by 15~ billion USDT after the LUNA collapse [1] while intermittently losing the peg by about as much right now for a month. I wouldn’t store money with them though

If you receive a phone call while locked presumably the phone can still access the address book to display the contact name and photo?

My pet theory is that it's both: I can imagine that the "classical Internet" with everyone on-line could be quite awesome, and the Internet of today with only "pre-September" folks on-line could be quite awesome, too - but everyone online in the "big multinationals" Internet is not much fun.

Granted, I don't have any insider information on how Coinbase actually deal with things, I'm only judging things by the public information they put out themselves. Also, I don't keep any funds at Coinbase myself, for whatever it's worth.

But this is what Coinbase themselves say:

> There can’t be a “run on the bank” at Coinbase. As you can review in our publicly filed, audited financial statements, we hold customer assets 1:1. Any institutional lending activity at Coinbase is at the discretion of the customer and backed by collateral. We have no gating for client loan recalls or withdrawals.

My understanding is that part of the interview loop (for software engineers without significant UX experience) is to ask what can be improved about the UX. The correct answer (in the loop, from the perspective of the interviewers, according to my understanding) is “nothing; it’s as good as it could possibly be”. This doesn’t exactly agree with what you’re saying because there are potentially better alternatives outside of Jeff’s ideal (I’m not too worried about it as both of our positions are reasonable).

FTX blew up because they used their own token (FTT) as a collateral, not because they were simple holding FTT. Binance doesn't use BUSD as a collateral, but of course they have a supply of their own token.
In the same vein, British nurses are going on strike now over pay and understaffing. In UK government sets their salary, so this is like all nurses going on strike - what do you do if you need to gove birth? There will be bodies.

The thing I don't understand - allegedly coservative government is capitalist to the core. So they can't hire enough nurses. Are they going to increase pay to hire more nurses? No. Capitalism for me but not for thee.

The challenges that remain in speech coding is not generating code as much as it is navigating through existing code or an application.

There's only two ways to do this effectively and unfortunately no one has taken the true path to accessibility. The more common way is plugins/extensions to grab a information from the editor.

Accessibility is more than just one editor. It's the OS and all the applications. Microsoft needs to take the hard route to make an accessibility UI automation server to grab that information and only make up the difference through plugins as needed.

It's all about grabbing information from the application and generating on the fly commands, not just parsing free dictation in order to get the best accuracy.

It takes a lot of expertise to make any sort of UI automation, fast and efficient for navigating and selecting text or out of focus menu items.

I've fussed around and managed to get tree sitter to navigate across code. For example generic commands are like 'next function'. Code simply isn't pronounceable when it's written by others. Therefore, navigating across generic tokens is really the best method. Then other methods can be used for fine navigation if needed.

My hope is that they develop a grammar system that is open source and integrates with accessibility frameworks focused on performance.

I wish I could have a phone call with the development team.
