nah, just makes more resilient systems.

its a ballast system, as the "marketcaps" crater, it takes much less activity to move them. so it doesn't matter that many people won't show up anymore, once they see their neighbor that's dumber than them getting richer than them - again - they'll come right back and primarily use new products with new tokens

none of the top players/tokens involved existed before this cycle, or were created during the last crypto winter

none of the top players/tokens from the prior bull cycle recovered to be the top ones this cycle

I expect the same to continue, I don't really see anything to the contrary

There's a legendary interview between SBF and Matt "Money Stuff" Levine, where he straight up admits to crypto being a Ponzi scheme.

So you've got this boxes and it’s kind of dumb, but like what's the end game, right? This box is worth zero obviously. And like that, you know, you can't like keep this smart cap or something. But on the other hand, if everyone kind of now thinks that this box token is worth about a billion dollar market cap, that's what people are pricing it at and sort of has that market cap. Everyone's gonna mark to market. In fact, you can even finance this, right? You put X token in a borrow lending protocol and borrow dollars with it. If you think it's worth like less than two thirds of that, you could even just like put some in there, take the dollars out. Never, you know, give the dollars back. You just get liquidated eventually.

Indeed. You are absolutely correct. To be clear, I'm no fan of Tether. This is just another anti-crypto thread where I had time to post some thoughts. I suppose I've gotten jaded frontlining anything crypto. When I speak about it to people, mostly they are interesting in what's going to the moon. I have little patience for those conversations. Actually, I can't think of more than a handful that actually want to know the technology or what a pre-mine is and so on before investing.
SBF was marketed by his investors who helped him gain people's trust. That's hard to replicate.

It was pretty clear to me that SBF wasn't a good actor in this space because he didn't care about decentralization, just about making as much money as he could however he could in the name of effective altruism.

I wasn't the only one suggesting that people stay away from anything SBF had touched.

I've seen titles like sales engineer, product support engineer, technical support engineer involving lots of customer travel. The down side is that you're not usually involved in much new work, mostly providing technical expertise alongside a sales pitch or going in after a sale to hold the customer's hands. I remember the time at a job long ago that IBM sent two sales people and a tech guy to try to get my employer to not only buy the product they probably needed, but a whole lot of other IBM products that the layered on in the sales pitch.

> You know what would make easier pick up languages like Rust and Scala? Actually using them, and not making a detour into the language that has different goals.

While this is pithily said, I think it is not unreasonable to disagree. It may be that a language that makes unrealistic assumptions and sacrifices almost everything to maintaining a theoretical vision may make it easier to understand that vision, on top of which understanding you can then layer the necessary compromises more easily than you could by learning both theory and compromises at the same time.
That's true but best practice is to own the public one too. I'm pretty sure Microsoft recommends owning the domains you use for Active Directory, and not using anything that isn't it can't be made public

One sink for it (this terminal) is reduced. Since there is now less demand but a constant supply, prices should go down.

Crypto is nothing special in any respect except crime. Web 3.0 is basically blockchain re-discovering how finance works and why financial regulation is a thing.

For a single person in VR, you can track 6 positions, 3 with orientations too, using about 36 bytes. Add some more state and let's say 50 bytes per update. If you update the hundred most visible people at 60fps, and the rest at 10fps, then you could have 3000 people walking around the same area with about 14Mbps of bandwidth.

That's quite doable!

Gunplay adds more data for bullets but also you probably don't need such detailed positioning, and you can get away with sending the positions of only the nearby players and bullets.

>Don't really see the issue. Is having just few TLDs (com/net/org) somehow better?

One way it (may) arguably be better is that there are fewer avenues for impersonation or abuse. Ten years ago, bestbuy (or, insert your own small brand here) would buy bestbuy.com, bestbuy.net, bestbuy.org, bastbuy.com, etc to make sure malicious actors couldn't commit any tomfoolery against their customers, devalue their brand, etc.

Adding more gTLDs, as we see with examples elsewhere on this thread, means some companies now feel the need to spend hundreds of thousands more buying up gTLDs lest someone sets up cars.bestbuy, shoes.bestbuy, a malicious login.bestbuy, etc.

In a perfect world without any abuse, I think more gTLDs would be desirable. As a small business owner who has felt pressured to buy up several similar-sounding domains after others caused mischief with them... I'm less sure.

Project devs often have next to nothing to do with pricing. They're building whatever product with a public ledger and a currency type of thing involved with it. Please stop blanket statements of this is a scam!

Is a scam by definition is childish.

The safer bet given the history of exchanges, scam coins, and NFT is that they are crooked. This is why Coinbase sent out an email this morning pleading with people not to withdraw because they aren't crooked.
Speaking as someone tangential to the space, I have to disagree. SBF always been kind of loathed by people in the know. I think the reason was because of his political involvement and how he pushed for regulation, while many in crypto are against the government getting involved.

One of the core value propositions of Linode/DigitalOcean is exactly this – reduce complexity but that also comes with reduced flexibilty and features.

The fact that Linode/DigitalOcean exists and relies on this core tenant is a testament to quite the reverse: AWS/GCP/Azure are complex to meet the needs of their customers or they wouldn't allow Linode/DigitalOcean to exist and consequently absorb their customers. They both co-exist on the axis of complexity. In some ways, it is a loose proof/evidence that AWS/GCP/Azure is complex to serve their customers, not because of incompetence or some other reason.

> Not necessarily. The energy generated may be used for purposes such as heating people’s homes, or industrial processes essential for creating medicine, operating schools and hospitals etc.

> You can see how this is very different from using the energy simply to operate an online gambling operation or to perpetrate large scale securities fraud.

Indeed, I can see that. Fortunately, miners aren't in either of those businesses.

But since we're deciding who gets or doesn't get to use energy, let's also ban casinos, online gambling (like you said), heck.. anything that might waste energy or use it for things that we don't like (even though other people might like it or even need it).

Instead of, you know, letting the market decide who can or cannot use energy based on what provides the most value for their use of it.

I’m not a song writer but I do have a fair amount of background in jazz and some metal, and while jazz requires a lot of practice to internalize music theory, and both being music with « real » instruments require a significant amount of practice, the writing felt pretty similar. I’d collect riffs, melody fragments, sit down and experiment with chord progressions (very very nerdy and brainy), and then I’d assemble them and see if they fit or not.

The concepts I experiment with when making techno are on a similar level of braininess / research. I will have « theories » that I pursue over many bleeps bloops until I feel I have exhausted the subject. They don’t have words / story per se, but there is definitely a lot of concept and evolution to it.

The « four on the floor » and repetition part of techno can be deceiving. There is definitely some extremely formulaic techno out there, but for many songs, there might not even be a kick, and for sure there never is a loop that is the same as the previous one, as sounds will continuously evolve.

I’m pretty lacking in terms of musical talent, I ultimately left jazz and metal and real instruments behind because I just didn’t « get it ». Techno has taken me 15 years of on/off attention to finally « find myself ». (for what it’s worth, I would personally file four tet and floating points under jazz, not techno, save maybe for a few tracks :).

Genres are so very odd: I feel I can now take a 909 backbeat and a stupid 303 and have some real techno, but doing the same 10 years ago would have sounded… off.

As an entrepreneur in finance for 10 years, I think the guy's perspective is actually pretty understandable. When you've been in finance for a while and have learned how many footguns and ways to go to jail there are to get major regulatory projects licensed and functional, you start to think of projects like "launch a bond offering and get it rated" or "launch an exchange" as so incredibly complex as to be impossible. There's a certain cynicism that comes up in the industry where people think something just can't be done because they know it's so complex to do right.

Now I actually think that although this take is realistic, it is actually overly cynical and actually underestimates the possibility of disruption in finance. In actuality, not knowing the complexity allows a young entrepreneur to develop a simplistic plan and pitch it with conviction to VCs who also don't know any better. The mistake experienced people are making is that their experience tells them it is only reasonable to do a thing "correctly" or "scalably" when in fact the incorrect, illegal, unscalable way wins you valuable proof points. And with enough proof points and follow-on VC rounds the simplistic plan can mature enough to actually become functional.

In the specific case of SBF and FTX, I do think the critic's seemingly superficial cynicism was actually both well-founded and ultimately correct. Launching an exchange functionally, legally and scalably was in fact too much for the inexperienced leadership of the business. They tried really hard to make a business model that worked and scaled fast. But in doing so, they ended up with effectively designing a circular reference (trading their own token) which made a lot of money for a while, but ended up crashing their business. I think they were well-intentioned, but it is true that more experienced leadership would not have tried the self-referential growth strategies FTX/Alameda engaged in. And in retrospect the critic's spidey sense was right; the pace of growth of FTX was bizarrely unsustainable and likely pointed to an underlying system that didn't make sense.
Filecoin is interesting because there is bona fire economic activity associated with it. But, if you believe:

https://file.app/

The cost of storage on Filecoin is $0.0000001 USD / GiB / mo.

This makes no sense. That’s $10^-4 per TiB per month or one cent per TiB per 10 years. You can’t buy anything remotely resembling a hard drive, even used, for anything resembling this price. You can’t buy a disk controller. You can’t buy power to run the thing.

This means that miners have absolutely no incentive to store your data except for the lulz. This is useless for any serious purpose.
Those were not his primary complaints. Yes, he took some shots at his appearance, but let’s be honest. The financial and VC world has a stick up it’s butt, but this nobody (Sam Bankman-Fried) shows up to interviews and meetings in a three day old t-shirt and shorts and can’t keep his leg still and talks like he’s been up for 24 hours straight on Red Bull. It’s strange. Why does that work for him, who has nothing to explain it away, and no one else? Where did he come from? Where did he get all his money? Why were major VC funds fawning over him?

The short seller also mentions that this is only “3%” of what he has and is working with an investigative journalist to blow this up. And that was weeks ago, and they were probably working on it before that.

It’s not about credentials. It’s that you have 20 year olds out of nowhere suddenly managing tens of billions of dollars. Like the guy says, it doesn’t make any sense.

In interviews, FTX never gave reasons of why they moved to the Bahamas from Hong Kong. He really doesn’t ever explain anything.
So if I call a Black person the N-word or address a Jewish person with an antisemitic slur, and this bothers them because it reminds them of how society has long dehumanised them and enslaved and murdered their peers simply for being born into that classification, etc, it is as much their fault for not having a handle on their hormones as it is mine for having said that thing?

It may be the case that some of us can choose whether or not to be offended in any kind of circumstance, but that doesn’t prove everybody can, just like many people not simply being able to think themselves out of major clinical depression. It would be strange to blame them for this.

Edit: grammar

I don't understand... I am not Chicago resident, but https://www.ctabustracker.com/map seems to show all the buses' positions, including unique bus number.

What exactly is a "Ghost Bus" -- does it show on the map, moving from one stop to another? If it does, then this is pretty horrible but also seems like a lot of effort to set up, I would not expect public agency to do this.

If the map does not show the bus, and only the schedules are wrong, then maybe don't look at schedules? I used public transit on both east and west coasts, and map-based bus trackers are always superior to timetables, unless you live right next to the start of the line. Especially for questions like "Should you start walking".
