Nah.

1. If bitcoin didn't have transaction fees and you have unrolled every bitcoin transaction ever made, everyone would have the same amount of money they started with. This is called a zero sum game.

2. But it does have transaction fees so if you did the same in the real world then the miners would be ahead and everyone else would lose. This is called a negative sum game or a scam.

3. If you were to do the same to, say, every Intel stock, then you'd be ahead because of the dividends paid.

Does anyone remember the Freedom Ship?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Ship
And Enron was the Enron moment of what industry exactly?

These comparisons make for good clickbait, but in reality they're meaningless.

The truth is, these sorts of things happen in cryptocurrency every bear market, and in more mature markets as well but just to a less extreme degree. The only reason it feels huge in cryptocurrency is because the news has been covering it non stop, celebrities were endorsing things and commercials were on TV. In reality the magnitude of this collapse, logarithmically, is smaller than all previous bitcoin and related market collapses. In absolute terms it's big, and it is a big deal just like any financial happenings are a big deal, but itst being made bigger than it is because there's money to be made manipulating emotions.

In a way, surviving this experience can help OP grow as a person. I choose to think it serves as a reminder that the things in life that matter are not digital statuses within blind computer systems, but relationships with the people you can see and care for.
macOS updates breaking things is one of the biggest frustrations I remember from regularly using macOS with Nix (and Homebrew, and a handful of third-party GUI apps, for that matter). The macOS GUI environment isn't for me, either.

Nix-Darwin (the module system that gives you some NixOS-like features with Nix on macOS) is nice, but macOS ultimately can't match the predictability and control one gets used to on NixOS. A system that updates in a non-uniform way, has limited configurability, and where the configuration of the system isn't given anywhere in a trackable, comprehensible form feels painfully chaotic in comparison.

(I can understand why Nix on Darwin (with or without Nix-Darwin) is a great fit for many, though. Having a 'normal', mainstream desktop underneath your still relatively predictable, explicit, reproducible dev tooling is awesome in a lot of ways.)
Because you're weak. Keep doing them and eventually it won't hurt, and even later it will feel good.
“I like something except this part” is not coherent?
"There followed a jujitsu move by which the Binance chief created a market run on FTX."

There seems to be an attempt to sell a narrative which blames Binance for this. That's bogus. We know now that FTX was so looted and so broke it was doomed. The only question was what would pop the bubble.

This is straight theft of customer assets, like Madoff. As with Madoff, once there was a downturn, it all came apart.
One reason for this is that ads generally have a high dynamic compression applied to the audio to make them seem louder. It’s jarring because the content you’re watching has a more reasonable level of dynamic compression.
I have some rudimentary knowledge of crypto. I think better than most.

I don't understand some of the more complicated concepts like DeFi and flash loans. I mean I could explain some of it but I didn't actually understand it.

That being said, I decided to learn more and got some of that knowledge from Twitter. It's a terrible place to learn because the education is laced with propaganda and it's very difficult to tease out. Something about it makes you put down guards that you otherwise have.

I stopped using Twitter for other reasons and something really interesting happened. It felt like I was coming out of hypnosis. My optimism towards crypto began to fade - probably because outside of crypto circles the general sentiment is that it's a scam.

A broken clock is right 2x a day and it's important to remember you're likely no smarter or dumber because you bought or avoided crypto.

Maybe that's the problem. If you tell her that she is not allowed to read books from one part of the shelf, that will make her more curious about them ;)

I wouldn't consider 30% unreasonable or an example of money being swallowed - but there are known instances of non-profits where over 60% of donations go towards covering such costs (the Law Enforcement Legal Defense fund supposedly is one of the worst offenders).
I don’t understand why adding things that usually make people crash is more beneficial than letting traffic normalize at a speed that may be above the legal limit.

Around me people speed, but you know what’s more dangerous? People who go 55 on the left lane. And trucks that don’t move to the right lane. They are not breaking the law in regards of speed, but everyone that’s going at the normalized pace has to avoid an obstacle.

I say leave the speed limit at 75, put everyone through a more difficult test, enforce lane hierarchy and enforce tickets above 90-95. This equals on a traffic speed of 80-85 that’s safer than adding trees and making narrow lanes

Edit: after posting this comment I come to realize what living in the US has done to me. I immediately assumed that a road with a speed trap is a highway. Which is all I see every time I get on the car anyway. The American dream.
In one instance, yes, for simply getting so lost in the mountains in a state park that they decided it was best to call SAR when provisions ran out after dark. Dispatch routed the rescue request to the closest city fire department, they came out with a helicopter. City then left them with the bill for the helicopter (which was covered by health insurance as medical transport minus the deductible), and fines for trespassing (they weren't supposed go off marked trails) and staying in the park after closing/dark.
Forgive me if this is reductive, but could this mentality not be summarized as:
'Justifying the means by the ends, accumulate as much wealth as possible at any cost to some groups in order to distribute it to the other groups towards which /I/ feel altruistic.'
You overestimate how much people will care about your bookshelf after you die. Usually most of such book collections like that get sold for cheap or tossed out. Yes, a few interesting ones may be kept. But books are dime a dozen, the point is to read them, not to keep them around indefinitely.
Not true. Just randomly one I found: https://www.unicross.uni-freiburg.de/unifm-884/

They just need to be indexed like the American ones. I am pretty sure there are Canadian ones (and from other countries) as well.
I was watching something on Roku and it’s really jarring being interrupted with ads all the time after years of streaming. Ironically, most of the ads were for more Roku hardware!
Sounds sensible to me. Can you please elaborate? Otherwise your reply is of 0 value
Not to be glib, but this is more or less what most voters want, isn't it? That is, in non-emergency situations, rather than confront people with an armed police response, to attempt to address it on a social level or with non confrontational approaches.

What were you hoping for the police to do in that situation? Do you have any number you can call to have a social worker take a report and look into the matter?

I want to point out, as someone who spent several years as a senior CAE specialist at an automotive OEM doing finite element analysis of automotive body and chassis structures- the type of mostly-rigid-body physics on display here is not the kind of simulation at all that is done at the vehicle design level for say, NCAP testing, where the actual structures and explicitly modeled and the structural dynamics are computed using an FE code such as LS-DYNA. The 'soft-body physics' shown in the above linked kind of reconstructions aren't relying on incredibly realistic computation based on the vehicle crumple zones, because this kind of tool simply would not have access to the level of model, material, and other detail used in an actual car company; These things are several orders of magnitude more complex. So for instance, the 'crumpling' and denting of the fenders and bumpers shown in these renders isn't, per se, very real, comparatively.

I'm not saying there are not uses for this tool- accident reconstruction often can be very 'spherical cow'. But I just want to point out this type of engine is much closer to GTA-5 than it is to, say, NASTRAN.

I think the 'Intro to Bankless' podcast is a really good way to start learning the nuances. There are many parts of the crypto community that are very welcoming to newbies. /r/EthFinance is one of the best.

Crypto is indeed very complex. You have everything from AMMs to no-loss lotteries to Arweave perpetual endowments. I spend 10 hours a day in crypto finance and don't understand all of the nuances, so I can see how it might be intimidating. The best way to learn IMO is send a few dollars to Polygon to play with different protocols like Uniswap, Aave, PoolTogether, things like that.
When you're hitting at that level you can't hide, not anymore. Maybe in the 70s. Countries without extradition aren't usually the kinds of places you want to go these days, and people there are bound to know who you are and shake you down when you're a globally known rich guy.
The war on disinformation marches on. Mere speech is increasingly equated with violence.

1)Tucker Carlson decries the speech of his political opponents
2)An unaffiliated 3rd party commits a violent act
3)Therefore Tucker is responsible
4)Thus we must use the violence of the state to suppress his speech

Unlike in item 2, the act of violence in item 4 will be explicitly affiliated with the political detractors. The best way to oppose bad ideas is to advance better ideas.

If the post 9/11 and COVID usurpations were not enough, get ready for the new thought crime and disinformation paradigm.

The substance of the criticism is correct, but I would recommend that you point out the problem as one of incompetence in journalism rather than counterproductive insults about IQs.

Initially, I thought that you were referring to this comment, which (correctly) said that the discoverer thought it was a Buddhist stupa.

> It wasn't until 1922 that R D Banerji, an ASI officer, believed he saw a buried stupa, a mound-like structure where Buddhists typically meditate.

But no, the author themselves also (incorrectly) calls it a stupa in the first paragraph too.

> An ancient Buddhist stupa towered over the time-worn streets, with a large communal pool complete with a wide staircase below.

This is ridiculous. You'd think that they understood that the initial discoverer was wrong, and that this was a civilization long predating the existence of Buddhism.
The FOMO narrative gets pushed hard for this reason. As long as regular investors are convinced they have to invest in crypto or else they'll miss out, the money continues to flow into crypto.

And oh, was it pushed hard by FTX. The infamous "Don't be like Larry" Super Bowl commercial [1] was from FTX.

The FTX bankruptcy has somewhere upwards of a million creditors.

Is there somewhere were I can see the breakdown of their largest customers? I would be curious to see the TSMC customers that trail Apple and by how much.
There were lots of stories, not just sourced out of one incident.
I was hoping for some alternative since the linked article mentions utf8proc as such:

> Some libraries, like libutf8proc and libunistring, are incorrect by basing their API on assumptions that haven't been true for years (e.g. offering stateless grapheme cluster segmentation even though the underlying algorithm is not stateless). As an additional factor, libutf8proc's UTF-8-decoder is unsafe, as it allows overlong encodings that can be easily used for exploits.
They can fall apart but can be re-bound. I have a bunch of such fixed books where I got the cover and the binding replaced.
Sapling is a fork of Mercurial. It isn't a completely new scm.
This is just true if you assume the transactions have zero value which seems unlikely given that in general most transactions/commerce creates a lot of value.
A Few Words About Bullshit
FTX's failure is hardly Crypto's failure. FTX is a centralized exchange. Crypto, at least when it was created, is/was against centralization.

But yes, cryto industry is much more centralized than before. Centralization without regulation is the root of all evils.

We don't need deep tech understanding of Cryto to know that centralization without regulation is problematic. History of finance has proven it again and again and again.

Those who trusted FTX are either dumb or greedy. Perhaps both.

As a crypto adopter, the best we can do is:

1. Stay away from unregulated centralized company like FTX, Binance, Tether, etc.
2. Stay dicentralized.
Oh, SAR will "creatively adjust" the incident report when people have health insurance, so that they can bill them for a medical emergency and have their insurance cover it? Sounds like fraud.
As the incident demonstrates, the authorities won't take care of the issue.
Even so. As long as I get my security deposit back when I move out, why should I care what's happened with it in the meantime?
Would you be amazed if I told you I could connect you with someone right now who would tell you they enjoy tv sports and would like them even better without ads?

Calling TikTok a market of free ideas is almost like an oxymoron when it’s beholden to a party that jails dissenting journalists.
The example of a community theater highlights another issue I have with effective altruism. It effectively encourages you to only donate to things you can make a quantifiable case for. And in a lot of situations, quantification fails. The arts have an immense value in developing philosophical, emotional, empathetic values. A theater may not show up in a balance sheet but it can have a massive effect. And it does concern me deeply that the flippant example for "non-effective altruism" is community theater. It reflects the attitude of SBF that a book is not worth reading. That is a profoundly destructive mindset.
It's possible to solder a wire to a GPIO pin of a Raspberry Pi and use a program to broadcast FM from that. I've done this very thing in the past. I did it with a first gen RPi, but I think the actual code to make this work with other RPi models may have changed. Google is your friend for this.

For me the performance was quite good. I could pick up the music anywhere within ~100 ft from a short 6cm wire soldered to a GPIO pin.
Derivatives have some financial uses for normal investors (eg if you want to hedge your bets against short term tail risk etc.), but crypto tokens really don't. I wouldn't sweat it.

It's not that complicated - you get a record in a globally distributed trustless database that say you own something, and as new records are added to the database stuff gets moved around.
Subversion? You mean that unimpressive flash-in-the-pan CVS clone?
No, cryptocurrency cannot be used as a normal currency. Nothing as easy as handing cash to someone else exists in cryptocurrency.

There's one giant benefit of using cryptocurrency and a few smaller niches. It is a currency of last resort to guard against hyperinflation or currency controls or for drugs. You should really only be using it if you can't turn your money into dollars but can earn cryptocurrency another way.

Check out an example like https://mission.org/hidden-in-plain-sight/bitcoin-a-lifeline... . In this case its easier to earn crypto as payment for doing work online than it is to be paid in USD.

The smaller niches include things like flash loans

Flash loans are actually new thing in the world but still pretty dangerous. You can get a massive massive loan (Think $1 billion) without putting anything down as long as you pay it back in the same transaction you get it. Ethereum can guarantee the loan and repayment succeeds so the borrower really can loan $1 billion. Of course this only works as long as whatever tool the loan contract is using to check that the borrower can repay $1 billion works. If not then the money is going to be stolen...

As for goal, there isn't one. Its whatever folks want it to be and a large number think ponzis are the goal...

As for normal currency, it does not need to be stable. See Venezuela as recent example. It typically can't follow a real currency like USD exactly. In fact trying to keep an exchange rate between a strong currency and something else the same almost always ends horrifically like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday

I favorited that comment. When I feel anxious about something, I’ll read it again and realize anxiety can always be worse.
I believe it. I live nearby the new TSMC plant and they are booking it on construction. A couple years ago I was like, nah… they ain’t gonna build it by 2024, but they have blown away all my expectations.
Never read it. But, I did buy my brother a 1st edition cause he liked it. I'm aware of the theme.
This is silly. Way too many things would meet this standard for "scam"/"ponzi". Gold for example: it costs money to dig it out of the ground, and critically to keep it stored securely, insured, tested for purity, etc. Consider how much money the USA must spend keeping its gold stockpile safe! Those are pure drags on the system so indeed the total amount spent on gold must always be more than net proceeds from gold sales after accounting for cost of ownership.

I'm sure there are many such examples.
What I never understood about crypto finance is how it shall replace tradfi when it can only offer overcollateralised loans?
>The issue is when people take it to the extreme (like someone who literally argued that a person doing mere charity or volunteer work is bad, because they are wasting time and effort that they could've spent making money and recruiting to contribute more charity and volunteering)

I mean, the concern here is that coming off as an asshole can be self-defeating, not that these views are actually incorrect, right? Seems like it's like being an atheist - an "extreme view" for many and it's a topic that may need to be dealt with with caution sometimes but that's really mostly a critique of the sensitivities of others.
'USDC' which is a dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Circle/Coinbase is essentially the United States' de-facto digital currency. The advantage of a cryptocurrency vs a normal dollar in your bank account is that the ERC-20 version on Ethereum is 'programmable' - ie can be used in smart contracts for all sorts of things from borrowing/lending, to market making, to exchanging or staking. You could write a contract that drips USDC into an account to pay your bills, I dunno. There are endless possibilities. For me, I prefer to have my money in USDC because it provides a lot more flexibility on what I can do with it than simply having it in a bank account.
Im not defending him, but you can imagine a situation where a lot of conversations are happening in the background whilst wild speculation takes off online.

From the balance sheets circulating, there are still a lot of assets there. Some of it is fantasy but some of it is real but various levels of liquidity.

Im sure FTX, Sam and everyone associated is looking at how they can turn an $8 billion hole into a $3 billion hole.

I don’t think he or FTX are coming back because the reputation is destroyed, but I don’t see this ending in an $8 billion total loss.

I am tempted to put my money where my mouth is and buy some FTT for a somewhat positive announcement soon, but maybe that’s just degenerate gambling!

I often hear the claim "AI does not really understand" but when you can ask it to draw an armchair in the shape of an avocado or an astronaut riding a horse on the Moon, and it does it (!!?), it's not like the "Chinese room" had any specific rules on the books on these questions. What more do people want to be convinced?

AIs make many mistakes, humans make many mistakes. AIs fail to draw hands, humans too, with few exceptions. Ask a human to draw a bicycle from memory. https://road.cc/content/blog/90885-science-cycology-can-you-...

Some of us believe in conspiracies rather than science. But as a species we still think ourselves intelligent.
I feel this is an "actions speak louder than words" situation. Has there been any effective believer in "Effective Altruism" that has actually got past the "accumulation of wealth" stage? Where are their great works of human charity? It's been a concept in many wealthy circles long enough we should be seeing the payoff.

Or is it just a self-justification of their current actions, of wealth accumulation, to be conveniently ignored later?
