I know everyone will laugh at me for saying this but... we are still in the early stages of cryptocurrency from a technology development perspective.

I'm not aware of anyway to securely scale a decentralized cryptocurrency without recursive proofs of correctness that are fast to prove and fast to verify. Every year since 2016 I've seen major progress being made in this area but we have far to go. We just barely got there in 2020. We could probably build a scalable decentralized cryptocurrency in 2020, maybe. Give it another 5-10 years of advancement like we saw over the last 5 and you will have the ability to build scalable decentralized cryptocurrencies. That doesn't mean people will build them or that even if they do the built systems won't suffer from serious drawbacks. It is a long road ahead.

Now there are other problems to solve as well, but everything i being gated right now by proofs of correctness. We have a steam engine, we can put it on rails and it can pull a small load. Unfortunately the expectation has been set that we have train that can move millions of people. The fact that we can't meet this expectation doesn't mean that steam engines or engines in general are bad.

When you take money out of circulation, you reduce inflation.

Here's a "real world example:"

There's a house near me that's selling for $7,777,777 (get it? Lucky sevens?)

The cost of the house is obviously arbitrary, and it's listing has a bunch of references to bitcoin. The owners of the home are obviously trying to "leverage" crypto mania to find a buyer.

Now that a bunch of crypto "wealth" has been destroyed by falling prices, the owner of that house will need to re-assess whether $7,777,777 is a realistic price.

More than likely, it's not. And by lowering the price of the home they're selling, they're contributing to a reduction in real world inflation rates.

Also, yes, I know that inflation stats use a proxy for the cost of housing.

This ranking seems pretty plausible to me if you're buying your apples at the supermarket. It gives good marks to varieties which maintain their texture through weeks (or months!) of refrigeration.

On the other hand, if you're at an apple orchard and deciding what to pick to eat right now, this is not the list for you. A Cortland, McIntosh, or Macoun right off the tree easily beats a Honey/Cosmic/etc crisp.

Ranking apples seems ridiculous as it would be to rank wines and just promotes monocultures where we should strive to have the widest range of heritage apples with their unique tastes. Reduction to a few global breeds just leads us to a situation as with bananas where a single fungus can threaten the global banana supply.
He's being honest here, and we should listen to him.

Point 1: Most personalities are shams. Ethics/politics among the powerful is a lie/shibboleth.

Instinctively you know this to be true, but hope in a great savior is deeply ingrained.

Point 2: Regulators make things worse. They are actively working against our interests.

He would know best; they created him. Again, we want to believe in the great savior myth, but they are just people: lazy, corruptible, political, etc.

Point 3: Chapter 11 made things worse.

He's probably right about this too. He's saying that he would have the power to pay back depositors first. Chapter 11 only gives him legal protection, and puts depositors last. They will liquidate everything to USD, pay a 10% commission for a horrible rate, and then pay the lawyers, then the counterparties, then the investors, and then a tiny fraction back to depositors, years down the road. Another MTGOX/BITFINEX.

As a reference, the Irving Picard recovered $9.3B from Madoff and paid only $5.4B to depositors. The rest evaporated in liquidation expenses and legal fees of $700M. The legal fees for Lehman Brothers liquidation was $1.6B. The people running the show now are not your great saviors; they are incompetent, greedy, and morally disconnected.

> Auto generated admin stuff is pretty rare in anything outside Django I think

Just wanted to say that anywhere from Ruby on Rails, to Laravel, to Yii, to... Pretty much every major web framework in the most common language used for web dev (php, python, ruby) has a builtin admin (among tons of other stuff).

Edit:

> Diesel

Diesel doesn't come close to where the ORMs of Django or RoR stand. Not by chance. Having to write by hand SQL (according to Diesel's docs) is something that modern web frameworks solved years ago. And I'm not even talking about automatic mapping of models to tables, automatic migrations, etc... Diesel is simply not anywhere near what a web dev would expect. Not saying that Diesel is bad, just that it's not in the same category where current ORMs stand.
Hi subradios, thanks for asking. Jitar is a layer on top on node that intercepts all application imports. So when the front-end imports a back-end function, Jitar will provide a remote implementation of the function that calls the function on back-end (like a dependency injector). Currently we only support HTTP, but support for gRPC is planned.

All data is getting serialized automatically when transferred. Even (complex) class instances are supported with private fields. For this we add the source location of the class to the object (in the background), so that the receiving end can load the class and reconstruct the instance. This way almost any object can be passed around. The only thing is that you need to treat these objects as immutable in order to safely work with them.

Hope this answers your questions!
I wonder how this is supposed to work with workplace apps such as Slack.

Assume I am leaving my job and want my personal information removed from this third-party service (Slack). They say [1] "Primary Owners of a workspace or org must contact Slack to request deletion of a deactivated member's profile information.". What if I contact the "Primary Owner" before leaving my job and they ignore my request, or if I've already left and don't know how to contact them or who they are? Why can't I simply request that my personal information be removed from a completely third-party American company's database?

I thought about this out loud before, and got the response "If you are using company account, company owns the data. The data produced during company time is company's property. Company has to request for deletion. Slack is right about it."

That made makes me ask more questions:

- Is my full name, birth date, telephone number, job and other details Slack collects company property?

- Can they also sell this to other third parties, along with my social security number, which the company also collected during business hours?

- Is Slack also free to sell this data to third parties?

- Does GDPR protect your personal information ONLY if you gave it away during your free / unemployed time using your personally owned devices and ONLY to services you have admin access to?

I don't understand the fascination with Elon and his Twitter takeover. The constant drama over who he's firing or under what terms. The endless stories about his management techniques.

I get that people come here to procrastinate and shoot off idle thoughts. I don't understand the rage against his ownership of Twitter. He bought it. So what? Did he troll people into Elon derangement syndrome? Is it really all about his seemingly mild political preferences?

Interesting, thank you for the clarification!
> On Wednesday, the crisis touched a high-profile crypto lender run by the billionaire twins Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, forcing them to halt withdrawals from their Gemini Earn crypto lending program. ... The Gemini Earn program allowed users to deposit their coins in exchange for regular interest payments — typically at generous rates that could be as high as 8%.

The Gemini Earn page appears to redirect to this announcement:

> We are aware that Genesis Global Capital, LLC (Genesis) — the lending partner of the Earn program — has paused withdrawals and will not be able to meet customer redemptions within the service-level agreement (SLA) of 5 business days. We are working with the Genesis team to help customers redeem their funds from the Earn program as quickly as possible. We will provide more information in the coming days.

https://www.gemini.com/blog/an-important-message-regarding-g...

The language of this announcement is bizarre. Withdrawals are "paused," not "halted" as reported. In other words, there's a chance that Genesis will cough up the funds.

But the biggest red flag is that nothing is said about new deposits. Apparently, Team Gemini is still taking them. This is, unfortunately, par for the course with these schemes going all the way back to Mt Got. "Pause" withdrawals, but continue to allow deposits. The language of the announcement makes this look like a temporary blip that will soon be resolved. It's a tactic with a long history and an almost boringly predictable outcome.

The GRPR is fully within the remits of existing trade agreements and does not violate US constitutional law, so as long as the EU is not selectively targeting US companies(and there is no evidence of that being the case), it's going to take a lot of crazy politicians and some tearing up of bilateral trade and cooperation agreements for the American authorities to take any action other then assisting the EU in collecting fines from American companies.

There nothing new about companies enforcing their existing laws on imported goods and services and the eu-us free trade agreement's already contains clauses where both parties have to assist each other if a company is trying to evade those rules. The only thing new is that the regulators are now considering digital services to cross the border when there is money flowing the other way.

If the US were going to raise a stink they would have done so when the EU kept doubling MS antitrust fine until MS eventually paid up, issuing GDPR fines to discord that is smaller then what smaller European companies have been fined ain't going to be an issue for the trans Atlantic trade relationships. Especially as GDPR style rules are being proposed at the state level in the US.

dead by dawn! dead by dawn! - Evil Dead 2
This "cashing in" isn't really anything new or different from what we expect elsewhere.

If it costs money to get healthcare, and there's value in being able to delay paying for it, then it makes sense that there will be interest. It also makes sense that the amount of interest scales with the risk. If a hospital did all of their own bookkeeping and debt collection, I would expect it to converge to the same kinds of policies and costs that a separate debt collection agency has.

The unfortunate result is that the people with less ability to pay (i.e., higher risk) end up paying more, as with anything else. That's the real problem. But as long as it costs money, and there's a time/risk value to money, I don't see it getting fixed.

> the company has complied with this obligation under the GDPR during the procedure, as it now has a written data retention policy, which includes deleting accounts after two years of user inactivity

I find this interpretation of the GDPR surprising. Reviewing article 5.1.e there isn't any mention of timelines or any other definition of "necessary".

As a user, I wouldn't want my account blown away just because I haven't logged in for a while.

If this was e.g., an advertiser I don't have a direct relationship with, then yeah, purge that data! But data retention is a core of my relationship with Discord, so I want that data kept around.
Crypto.com advertises massively inflated APRs, to achieve those you need to hold a limited amount of the asset and a huge amount of CRO

e.g. to hit the headline rate of 14.5% APR, you need to hold no more than $3,000 of DOT and at least $40,000 of CRO (their own token)

the reason it's so high for DOT is that DOT is currently paying 15% APR to validators.

It's extremely shady what crypto.com are doing but not necessarily unsustainable, because they're basically lying about what APR you can get

In all/most democratic countries anyone can observe the counting of paper ballots and the process itself is relatively simple and easy to understand for almost anyone (even if not very efficiency).

With internet voting we lose that. There is no way for most people to audit the system. Even if it's supposedly open source and transparent it's tricky to guarantee that the actual system is not tampered with and has no backdoors.

> Election integrity is more about the people running the election

True. But but fraud involving paper ballots is both difficult to execute at a large scale and hard to hide from other which is a huge deterrence.
I say it's especially true with stimulants not because of some perceived safety, but because at the start of taking stimulants you will feel great. This generally wears off within a few weeks and never comes back. The test of whether stimulant medications help you isn't if they help you at the start, it's how you feel about them six months in.

edit: feeling great only applies to some stimulant medications and seems to vary from person to person. Personally, I hated the pharmaceutical stimulant experience but they still helped me. I would be taking meds right now if I could afford it.
> It's pretty obvious you've bounced off due to a surface-level dislike for the syntax and are guessing about any other features it may have.

I'm not saying APL doesn't have those features. I'm making examples of languages that have a clear value proposition. If APL is big on immutability and pure functions, then why use APL vs, say, Haskell or Clojure? Same with the "where is the error thing", I was explaining why maintenance isn't just a "depends on who maintains it" thing, in fact the example languages were assembly and Python, nothing to do with APL.
