Indeed, my assumption was probably wrong. In one of the two articles I read, I didn't see the quote about it being 1:1 analysis against customer holdings. I believed it included general hedging assets of the exchange.

As long as the exchange is not loaning or collateralizing against these SHIB holdings, then it's nothing of concern. It does still paint a pretty bad picture of the exchange or its customers based on the huge percentage of "value" stored in a coin which has absolutely no point in even existing (but that's beside the point of my original inaccurate post).
Replied to the wrong message - but I did something similar here at https://www.jaynicolsmith.com/ (its still messy) - followed a tutorial somewhere and it processes my obsidian.md vault, make a note - push to git - tada - you can steal anything i have used for this from here https://github.com/Jayziv/summer-project
Legally, no. The company belongs to investors and the workers signed a contractual agreement with those investors.

Any single one of those workers could have spun off and sold their value to any other buyer willing to pay the price they(the worker) wanted. Most don't do this though because they are willing to take a lower pay in order to (greatly) mitigate risk.

Also, as you might be surprised to learn, workers already keep the majority of value they produce. Quick example: Gold mine owner lets workers keep 90% of everything they mine. Gold mine owner doesn't mine at all, but is by far the wealthiest person in the operation.
Being somewhat skeptic myself in my younger years and coming closer to God through my relationship with my girlfriend (who isn't even a believer herself)... I just recently came up with a hypothesis why so many Math and CS people were famously Atheist.

I grew closer to God through just observing the natural world, and my natural relationship (affection, friendship, etc.).

My hypothesis is that so many of these (incredibly genius, and logical) people maybe dug a little too deep into man-made reality. Numbers, computers, etc. Everything that goes through a processor is the result of a human invention. It's easy to think you are God, or at the very least, see YOUR creation and totally discredit and influence of God as a result. However if you just look away from the pixels or numbers for a second. The seemingly random, yet beautiful grain, in wood. Or the way tree leaves rustle in the wind.. etc etc, you can see an immense beauty and goodness, not possible without a divine, all-giving power.

No malice on my end towards Atheists, just my opinion (faith) <3
Is this honestly a "this extreme failure of [super common aspect of crypto] is good for crypto" argument? Or am I reading this incorrectly?
Hopefully, people will understand that crypto is about self-sovereignty and not get-rich-quick schemes.
Colocating Real-Time Storage and Processing: Pull-Based vs. Push-Based Streaming
Incredible summarization on the topic. Chewed through this during Covid and gave me a new appreciation for the high-level implementations of economic concepts in society. Second-order thinking is a crucial skill in economics, and Sowell makes it clear that incentives drive everything. Most notably, incentives must actually encourage behavior that they were designed to implement, not 'promise' they will, something government and politicians fail to grasp even today (e.g. rent control, stimulus, etc.)
How? You can't change them for dollars/euro's/.. without an exchange?
I guess you could sell them to a private person but then it wouldn't effect the BTC/USD rate.
While I agree that it will be difficult for smaller EV startups to compete against the whole market, this line always stands out to me:

> Tesla had first to market advantage

There is nothing that makes Tesla a monopoly.

At the time the Ford Model T was itself in Tesla's shoes, it used to come in only one color. Competitors quickly filled in for unmet market demand and introduced lots of options. Just like Ford, Tesla will not be able to meet the demands of every consumer, irrespective of their current production capacity.

Plenty of industrialized nations have a vested interest in their automotive industries and will do whatever it takes to help them along and grow to be competitive. Vehicle production is a national security interest. It supports factories and workers, keeping them fresh and knowledgeable. It provides great domestic jobs, domestic goods, and export potential. In times of war or other pressing need, these factories can be shifted to other types of production. Countries will ensure that their automotive industries survive.

This will not be a single company market. This will not even be a 10 company market. You'll see fifty auto companies competing and producing EVs.

Tesla may remain the market leader, but they will not dominate the market.
Example: I contributed to the Elixir version of faker years ago. My customer allowed me to issue a PR with the Italian translations and it was accepted. This is clearly commercial because my customer was paying me and I was working at a commercial service. With this legislation I think they wouldn't let me send the PR (because maybe they would have had to pay for the certification) and/or it wouldn't be accepted (because the costs could be on the project.)
And then there are those of us who positively REVILE the mobile interface. I will continue to use a non-laptop desktop computer until I have no choice.

For me, I turn my telephone on for 2FA challenges, and then turn it off again. I hate those things.
This is exciting news! Really looking forward to the future of Rails!

I'm confused - the article (and what I read of the suit) seems to be using the term "Tracking" for both tracking users across other companies apps and websites (what Apple lets you opt out of) and recording users interaction inside an app.

They are very different - there's over a million websites that use Hotjar alone (which sounds similar to what Apple is recording in App), and every news site will record how many view people read each article if not using some analytics front end JS code to read for how long for.
Macrumours.com itself is using Google Analytics, and the suit it links to is using Adobe Analytics which do much the same.

From what the article says I don't see how this breaks any of the Apples "Anti Tracking" policies - I'm not saying they're not recording too much just that it doesn't break their policies.
I would be more inclined to think insider, but I suppose it could also be an external player. Maybe they have had access for awhile and been waiting for the right time, whenever that would have been. Either way, their hand would have been forced as of the last few days as they seem to be acting hastily.
The cftc has ~700 employees total, not just investigators, total employees.

They do not typically proactively investigate firms, they do so when there is evidence of a violation, usually after complaints of losses are made.

Also, due to resource constraints they tend to prioritize investigations by the number of people impacted.

FTX frankly doesn’t meet either of those bars. By the time people would complain about losses the whole thing unravelled and as big a topic it is on hn not many people are actually impacted by it. At least compared to some of the big gold grifts that are out there.
> Apparently nobody does this anymore

The right way to do that is to use a hardware wallet. There are many companies making and selling those, so there's definitely a market for that.
What kind of off-ramp can they use?
"Email is not a good way to get mad at someone since you can’t interact. You can send friendly messages very easily since those are harder to misinterpret." LOL
None of these collapses have been due to fractional reserve banking, because fractional reserve banking requires being open about what you're doing. These collapses have been about fraud. There are lots of other kinds of fraud; getting rid of this type would barely make an impact.

While there's nothing intrinsic about cryptocurrency that would make it more prone to fraud than anything else, the culture around it seems highly susceptible to it.
I agree with the author.

Mastodon is quicksand. Instances are not guaranteed to keep existing, they depend entirely on a citizen running it, scaling it, and paying for all that, often with the help of donations. Even a relatively small influx of new users may pose an existential financial threat for the instance, or a lock so that nobody new can join.

Even when things are running "normally", instance owners may simply quit. Further, did you know that almost every instance regularly purges all media attached to toots?

Your instance, content within it, account you created within it, the media attached to your toots, are all incredibly fragile and can disappear at any time. The main Mastodon scaling approach: creating lots of small instances, makes this problem worse, not better. You're just spreading fragility.

You don't have this insecurity at Twitter, not at this fundamental level. Twitter pretty much auto-scales and your content is not lost. Sure, people may get banned, but a normy user would normally not face these existential issues.

The other thing that scales poorly is moderation. Twitter is sometimes perceived as being inconsistent in its rules (or biased), but this is a 100 times worse on Mastodon. Every instance has their own arbitrary and ever-changing rules. The same applies to federation. Instance mods regularly block federation with other instances based on arbitrary decisions.

Technically, the UX is inconsistent. One instance may work well whilst the other has page loads into the 10 seconds, or federated content delayed by hours.

Doesn't scale, fragile, and deeply inconsistent. It has a place and I still consider Mastodon an accomplishment. But it should not be compared with any of the centralized services.
This is why decentralized exchanges that run on top of smart contracts, like Uniswap, were built.
> Well, let's not forget that BTC has gone up from $300 to $15,000

Depending on how one measures. Prior to Gox's implosion, BTC was $1,000, which is the price people were actually depositing at. Meanwhile, the fact that we're denominating in USD means that we have to account for inflation if we want to compare historical data, which means the current price is more like $13,000 in 2014. There's quite the difference between 13x and 50x.
BTW; I'm using both Go and Rust lately.

In Rust you can write a function that returns the pointer of one element of a slice. You can also write a function that returns the pointer to a heap-allocated copy of an element of the slice. The two functions would have different signatures.

The compiler would also prevent mutation of the slice as long as there are any references to individual elements of the slice being passed around.
This sounds like the realtors that say “interest rates are still historically low”
I’m guessing you’re looking at market cap and not enterprise value when you are comparing Rivian to Ford. Market cap is about supply and demand based on a very limited number of shares changing hands, don’t confuse it with an actual company value.

Ford is no more profitable on its EV investment than Rivian. They just have a massive balance sheet to hide the R&D expenditures.

The way that Rivian competes is by making a better product. Versus Ford, GM, VW etc. that’s not really asking very much. There’s plenty of room in the market if their product is awesome. Mostly, IMO, that will come down to software expertise.

Been seeing a lot of them in Northern Virginia.
So it sounds like there is no point to comply ahead of time as if they do come after you they would just get future payments in which case you can close up sales in that region.
Interesting, thanks for weighing in!

I think doing technical SEO on a site from the beginning makes a lot of sense. But what about writing articles to capture keywords? I'm not talking about keyword stuffing, as that's obviously dumb, but just creating good (targeted) content. Seems to me that it's less important for early-stage products, no?
From their FAQ:

Q: Who should file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)?
You may file a complaint with the IC3 if you believe you have been the victim of an Internet crime or if you want to file on behalf of another person you believe has been such a victim.

Since I haven't been a victim, I don't think I can make a report.
> Because you can use $10B to give $500M/yr for a limitless period of time.

If you can do that in perpetuity, then it actually means you're giving away none of your wealth away. You're selling the time value of money back to the people that generated it for you.

You've essentially taken out a giant loan, but the interest is being borne by the people who generated that wealth for you in the first place. And your "charity" amounts to sometimes reimbursing those people for paying the interest.

Abso-fucking-lutely. The best time to not be involved in crypto was always, and the second best time is now. Get out now if you have any sense.
And gold costs money to store, i.e there’s an interest rate charged to you. Its value does change though — in positive & negative directions that don’t correlate to inflation or an underlying monetary fundamental. Because it’s not money or a money equivalent.

It's also easier to cut costs from a premium-priced product than it is to build that reputation in the first place.
Yeah, when did they get better? They've added more MSG over the last couple decades, I'm pretty sure, and kicked it up a lot when they publicized that they were re-formulating their sauce a decade or so ago—and, to be fair, they're far from alone in that, if you want a Pizza Hut pie that's about the same quality as a 1995 Pizza Hut pie, you're going to be paying more like $25 than $10 and you won't be getting it from Pizza Hut, all those chains been cutting quality and adding MSG for years to try to avoid raising prices—but haven't gotten better, except at making you regret eating it.

The solution is simple, relegate centralized exchanges to niches that so far can't be fulfilled in any other way (namely fiat-crypto transactions), and use them only briefly and immediately withdraw any assets from it once the transaction you need is complete.

You may also take on insurance against such malfeasance on the part of the exchange, increasing your likelihood of recovering your funds. On the plus side insurance agencies now have a financial incentive to ensure the exchanges they insure are honest.

In other words, see centralized entities as the unreliable partner that they are and work accordingly.
This is a great point - crypto will have utility.

But for whom? What how much is that utility really worth? And what kind of utility? That is what keeps shifting and what all the pro-contra propaganda is about.

In fact the bitcoin could even have negative utility, where getting someone stuck holding bitcoin is good for someone else.

Imagine that ... not just that bitcoin goes to zero, but could go into negative even!
> Most serious philosophers would agree with the idea that scientific evidence is a good way to rule out beliefs inconsistent with reality.

This seems to use the uncommon, Austrian and wrong definition of inflation as being purely an effect of monetary supply.

that's not a recent phenomenon. It's a cultural debate that's been going on for decades, probably the most prominent figure is David Foster Wallace, the 'New Sincerity' genre as a response to detached irony and that sort of thing.
If the page just said "Bob CD" without elaborating, I'd agree. But it does go on to describe itself as a "CI Platform", having "Pipelines/Artifacts/Resources" and so on, so you can be pretty sure it's not talking about "compact discs" or whatever.

By the way, how to you feel about "ycombinator.com" not really describing that it is just a startup accelerator and not about the lambda calculus combinator?
The NYT's business model is to sell their customer's eyeballs to advertisers. While Google does that with search results, they have a big arm that sells random third party eyeballs to advertisers, and then splits the money with the site supplying the eyes. I would characterize the first of Google's businesses and the NYT business as "providing content" and the second as "advertising".

In fact, the NYT outsources their ads to Amazon's advertising business.

Late Nokia phones had this feature where you could enter numbers and the phone would autocomplete based on the numeric character codes. So 4 [GHI] 3 [DEF] 5 [JKL] would give "Hello" as the first option, and so on. It's still the best typing experience I've had on a phone.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

On this Individual plan, should we allow team features to be turned on and new members to be invited afterward?
Total consumption did not change with Covid, it just went from one part of the economy to another. Kind of like squeezing a balloon - same amount of air, just in a different part of the vessel.

As for the massive amount of manipulation, that was done in plain sight. The fed had injected $$$ and low interest rates into the economy since 2009 and finally the spigot stopped.

Probably? But it's mostly just a return to sanity at this point, though it probably will overshoot as these things usually do. Meta going from 47K employees in 2019 to 81K employees in about 3 years was just crazy, for example. How do you even assimilate that many new employees in such a short time?
Yes, bitcoin is certainly not looking like an inflation hedge right now.

You're mixing two different things:

1. The legacy language baggage of different syntaxes, bad Node APIs, non-standard import styles, etc

2. The existing ecosystem of actual packages and their capabilities

It's a good thing that Deno isn't a reboot of #2. Despite the recurring narrative on HN, the scale of the NPM ecosystem is a good thing. It's one of JavaScript's greatest strengths. I don't understand all the people complaining that they're given too many powerful and free packages to choose from. Whenever I've brought Deno up to people at work or otherwise, their major source of hesitancy for using it on real projects is (rightly) that it's lacking Node's vibrant package ecosystem: "Does it have a mature auth library? What about an AWS SDK? GraphQL server? Client? Redis library? What if we need something later that we don't know we need yet?"

As for #1- Deno is still a reboot, just a softer one. It still gives people lots of reasons to write new packages in the well-formed, web-standard-based way that Deno directly supports. NPM compatibility is a bridge to get us there gradually (because that ecosystem is so valuable, and can't be rebuilt overnight).

It was always a bold move to try and go scorched-earth, and especially with the new pressures from Bun, I think it was the right call to make this exact level of compromise.

Cool, now what's the incidence of Myocarditis and similar after COVID-19 infection?

It's possible that such a vaccine causes a number of such cases, and still prevents a much larger number of them. In fact it also seems to be true in this case.

Discussing the vaccines out of this context, is scaremongering. You're much better off taking your chances with the COVID-19 vaccine than taking your chances unvaccinated.
