Bitcoin went up and down certainly. But remember that:

- it cannot be confiscated by govts.
- afaik we arehaving inflation. so yes it changes the value but so do dollars and can be confiscated.

I do not see as crazy buying some bitcoins in the future. It is guaranteed to not be at the expense of irresponsible govts. doing policies.

I appreciate your honesty, but hearing this was enough for me to file your project into the "not touching with a ten-foot pole" bucket alongside the likes of Wave Browser.
I just had a meeting with the opensource community of my country of origin after working abroad for this product for 2 years. I'm excited about all the connections, the good spirit that came from it and the sense of achievement that I'm not just a developer anymore as I've been for 12 years but also a little analyst, advocate, person of contact inside the company.
On the dev side, I love Neovim, the commandline and all the tools that are making TUI (terminal user interfaces) be in touch with the modern world
they have provided no evidence for which trust should be placed on their company or product.

Trust needs to be earned, and over a long time. Even a large company like google, have lost the trust they used to have, and have barely retained any back.

I would like to understand a bit more about this project. It is a fork of an open source git repository. It removes some features. There is some discussion in the comments about "exploring features". Are you presenting this as something for people to play with - download and throw away - or as something to depend on and use? "Pulse Browser" leads me to think the latter, but "experimental Firefox Fork", the former.
Just watching a video of the Alameda CEO explains a lot.

This confused me, because there's definitely no pin for an earth ground in an USB connector. So I decided to repeat your experiment and see which pin it uses.

One reason a lot of con artists are drawn to crypto is because it's very easy to scam people in it due to little regulation and the fact that if you incorporate in places like Cayman Islands, you can do almost anything you want. It's a license to scam people without any jail time.

Not really. Some cryptos have their uses.

As amused as I am to be roasted by the great cydia himself, ignoring all the other things I got wrong, I wasn’t actually responding to the 2.3% claim, but rather the original claim that the top 100 tokens on the front page weren’t scams.

I think the majority of those top 100 tokens are not properly audited with tangible assets backing them.

FTT remains the most recent glowing example.
Im not sure it's comparable. I thought the backstory for living in an airport is something along the lines of the story of the movie:

"The film is about an Eastern European man who is stuck in New York's John F. Kennedy Airport terminal when he is denied entry to the United States and at the same time is unable to return to his native country because of a military coup."[0]

If you were able to come and go, you would just technically be homeless with the unknown benefit to stay in airport for 20 years.

I'm glad to see someone still has the courage to work on browsers -
which is increasingly declared "infeasible". Well done.

> We have been moving further away from privacy and towards

But sorry, I literally stopped reading at that point.

The only feature that people want and need from browsers, and the
only reason to even glance twice at yet another Firefox fork is
enhanced privacy and cast-iron control over what a browser is doing.

There is enormous scope here to add value - adding client web
application firewalls, different, customisable jailing schemes,
detailed easy to understand monitoring, file monitors, inviolable
fine-grained per-io-device permissions, better Tor and IPFS
integration.

How about starting with a browser that can remember your privacy
settings, instead of silently "updating" and defaulting back to the
worst possible settings as Firefox does? Having the latest (probably
broken and more privacy invasive) presentation features would be very
low on my list.

> AI generated music will replace elevator music at best

And AI generated art will replace a lot of 'decorative art', perhaps not art that hangs in galleries and provokes thought but that people buy because it looks nice on their wall, or as a screen saver, or t-shirt. If that means that there's less demand for humans producing this kind of artwork - there will be less people making it and fewer good training images.

In "high art" there's always been artists like Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst who direct other artists and technicians in the production of their artwork, or even apprentices painting large parts of a master renaissance painters work. With AI generated Art I can't help seeing a future where the brand becomes more important than the art - images created from the description/thoughts of Lady Gaga/Kanye West

But if you trust people on the internet, at least your personal life won't implode in formation with your financials. MLM like herbalife and countless smaller ones, many of them in financials also on the product side, had already been preying on personal relationships before Satoshi even tossed his first coin at a hash function. Don't trust anything that looks to good to be true, and be wary of those that might be carefully tuned to stay just below that threshold.
So is any scaled up process unethical or is there another comparison you are trying to go for here?

Notably in your example both are certainly legal just varied by the level of controversy around them and on that level I would agree. Scaled up processes do tend to attract more controversy.
Similar, I know lots of people who were interested & curious, but none who are now involved. That's a small sample, but it's what I see.
I agree with this.

Programming Language – Popularity Trends – OSS Insight
I encountered problems on some platforms in the 90s where zeroing the bits of an array of pointers or floats/doubles did not give you an array of NULL pointers or 0.0 values. The comp.lang.c FAQ file discussed this in detail.

They offered this because it’s the staking reward the Polkadot network rewards for staking your coins. Binance just offers you to stake with them and in turn gives you part of the rewards. The 15% are paid in DOT though, so your dollar return is dependent on DOTs performance.
Even the private space companies don't pay that much. Like, if you can write software, you can make significantly more at a tech company.
> Autoconf is just a complicated system for finding and detecting third party libraries. If an application just uses the standard library, the build system can be very simple and reliable.

It's slightly more than that.

Autoconf is a Makefile generator. It was designed to do system introspection and perform sanity checks, and configure projects so that they could be built and installed in multiple platforms.

It's always possible to switch back to Makefiles. You'd be foregoing sanity checks, abstractions that come for free, and you'd have to fill in the blanks left out by missing features such as what compiler I use and how to configure the compiler and how to put together Release and Debug builds and how to consume dependencies and where do I install the project.

Complaining about build systems is like complaining about a high level language: you might focus on the bloat, but you completely miss the extra work you have to reinvent the wheel and have to maintain it forever.
> People with shell access published all sorts of stuff in their Unix home public_html directory. Those who did not had geocities accounts.

Exactly my point. Only technical users knew how to publish, and those who didn't had to use 3rd party publishers. Which is still the case today.

What I'm talking about is making publishing web content as easy as consuming it. Publishing without a 3rd party to generate and host the content is still as difficult as ever. The modern web is entirely consumer focused, where large companies have stepped in to fill the gap of facilitating non-technical users to publish content.

Imagine if we had a tool to do that that was as ubiquitous as the web browser is today. From these early design documents, it's clear that was the intention, but for some reason, it never gained traction.
No, it surely isn't.

In the US, it is generally legal to spank a child. Or do things like make them do physical labour or write the same sentence 100 times, knowing it makes hands cramp. The elementary and middle schools I went to technically could spank you with a paddle too. I'm only 44. I know similar things happen in other countries: Another commenter has a link with a map.

I live in Norway now. If you spank your child, even if it obviously doesn't hurt them, you can get child services visiting your home.

Math Formulas in HTML
> more programmer-friendly syntax

Lisp doesn't have programmer-unfriendly syntax. It's just tailored to a different use case: built-in ever-present meta-programming. The language was designed to compute with symbolic expressions as data and it was early discovered that Lisp programs itself could be treated as symbolic expressions. Code as Lisp data. People found it easier to do it all in s-expressions, compared to the mixed syntax of the early design: m-expressions for programs and s-expressions for data. This was shown over and over.

In that space it has some local optimum of programmer friendliness. It's just that most programmers don't have that use case. Some get the ideas of list processing as a practical programming interface.

Alternatives were spawned, though: LOGO as a beginner's Lisp, ML as a functional programming language, Dylan as an Scheme+CLOS targeting the same audience as Swift nowadays, ...
I wrote a whole post because I misread your first line as "while some people think" and set out to "tell people on the internet they are wrong", but since we seem to actually agree with another, I'll post the below as an agreeing addendum to make the point just how much more stable real economics and finance are than crypto BS. And also because I wrote it already.

---

This is not "luckily", it's by design, and there's a couple of other key differences as well.

1.Modern central banking implements an artificial separation between government and CB (an imperfect one), that attempts to make this less recursive...

2. ...but the key difference here is that the value of the dollar ultimately derives from the fact you need to pay US taxes with it. If you want to do business in the US, you need to get some USD to pay taxes in which are then used to keep the US a place to do business in. It is exactly the same model as FTT except that instead of paying "taxes" to trade on one of many market places, the US is a giant nonfungible place, with lots of difficult to move assets and people, serving a fucknormous circular economy with a staggering amount of real world consumption - i.e., a place you want to or have to do business in even if there's shock...

3. ...and has a monopoly on the violence (in the form of laws, courts, police and military) that actually enables the notions private property that enables this all. If the US government collapses your dollars are worthless whether they are backed by a bond or not.

4. Finally, neither the CB nor the government are up for sale or needs to generate profits or shareholder value. All they need to care about is continuing the system in a way that its constituents want (I'm not specifying the aggregation method, oligarchs are still constituents)

So overall, and with the fact that this is a system which has been iterated on for hundreds of years(thousands if you count legal code), yeah, it's a lot more stable
If the downturn is so short you need to "pounce quickly" it isn't much of a downturn. Some countries have had stagnant real estate markets for years.

It is pretty bad. CDG and Orly, the two Paris airports are atrocious in pretty much all aspects besides maybe transit options -CDG has regular commuter trains and high speed rail linking it to Paris and other cities.

That's why I was shocked that last time I was there, struggling to understand where i could find food at the late hour of 21h, a bathroom or an electrical socket that worked, that it has apparently been voted as best European airport by Skytrax for 2022.
That's very true but only because males are behaving more and more like females.

Being a house husband doesn't bode well with psychological traits where the extremes sit in the male population (which are responsible for things like men doing all the dangerous jobs, men being most of the inmates in prisons, men being the ones most likely to die in war).

I was surprised how well a large modern building ventilates CO2.

We had some employees complain about feeling "stuffy" when air conditioning was turned off(due to budget constraints).

So maintenance brought their own CO2 meter and I brought my trusty Aranet4.

Both our readings were around 650 in a medium sized office with 4 people. Apparently the raise of temperature from 22C to 26C was enough to trigger internal "stuffiness".

PS By comparison my bedroom regularly reaches 3000 in the mornings if no windows are left open.
If n != 0 and -1 cast to unsigned size_t divided by n is less than m. So that m times n would be bigger than size_t’s maximum value.

> The UX is admittedly awful, but once you get familiar with its warts submodules are entirely usable.

The point is not how much effort you need to invest in getting git submodules to eventually or occasionally work.

The point is whether vending the subproject as a prebuild library/package is simpler or not, or whether it requires more work or not.

And it's abundantly clear that submodules are always inferior to vending packages, not to mention they are audit-friendly.

> Homo sapiens have roamed the Earth for roughly 300,000 years, give or take (no one left a diary back then). [...]

There were perhaps 230 million of us on Earth at around the time of Cleopatra’s death, as the ancient Egyptian civilisation came to an end.

I think those numbers on their own are already interesting. They give us a picture just how unusual the present time really is - or even most of recorded history.

Cleopatra was living in the first century BC, so very roughly 2000 years ago. So for the ~298.000 years before (or ~99.3% of human history), there were less humans on earth than are living in the US today.

Only in the last 0.7% have we ever gotten close to a billion, then surpassed it and reached 8 billion today.

So explosive population growth has absolutely been real, it just used to happen at timescales that are not easy for us to access.

Well, not me.
In addition to earning a spread you lose from toxic trades, i.e. someone trading when your quote is stale.

Alameda has a strong incentive to knowingly do bad trades on ftx, i.e. stale quotes + spreads too small, since it increases legitimate volume numbers and generates ftx fees (gains in ftx fees offset trade loss). It's unknown if this happened or to what extent, but it can be very costly to do this in large size.

Does he really expect anyone to believe his “poorly labeled internal ... account” story? How can you have $8 BILLION mislabeled? As in, if he transferred or loaned it to Alameda, literally no one was asking: wait, where did this sum of money, so large that it is a massive percentage of our value and could crash the company, come from? Despite all the idiocies that we’re learning about, it is still hard to believe.

Another thing is, it seems like this spreadsheet was hand-crafted by Sam Bankman-Fried just before their emergency meetings this past week. Why wasn’t this something that already existed for all top executives to see? How was it not just a printable document or report but was instead something he just typed up? Because no, it is not obvious that a balance sheet of a supposedly multi-billion dollar company would contain typos. Typos!? I mean, come on.

Then again, I have worked with people similar to how Sam Bankman-Fried seems to operate. Not the possible sociopathic tendencies he appears to have but the sort of twitchy smarts he does seem to have. People like that can sometimes think so fast with a lot of confidence that they create this wake of stuff behind them as they work. They “solve” (i.e., move through) problems so fast, that everyone gets lost in the wake and can’t catch up to find all the mistakes left behind or tie the loose ends together. They consider a problem solved if it’s essentially solved but doesn’t have details thought out or if there are possible mistakes that can be “easily” solved in ways not apparent to anyone else. If there’s no one around to slow these types of workers down, it can be complete chaos where you have one person spearheading away through the bushes, while everyone else is getting slapped in the face with the branches snapping back and thorns. At some point everyone gives up trying to follow. Then the person is off on their own where they lose sight of whatever actual problem they were solving and lose track of the bigger picture.

It is entirely possible that that is a component of what has happened here, coupled with some sociopathy, megalomania, and billions of dollars of funding in Sam Bankman-Fried’s case.
