Regardless of whether they can ultimately fix the problem, bringing regulators and/or state legislators into the conversation is often enough to make providers and insurers get a lot more reasonable (I mean, the figures involved still won't actually be reasonable, but more reasonable, at least) in a hurry, because regulators and legislators are annoying enough to deal with that they'd really rather not.

But all of this means you're probably gonna lose the equivalent of a work week or two of hours playing go-between with everyone involved, largely sitting on hold on hospital billing department and insurer phone lines. Record everything because they all have a habit of "losing" their own fucking records. Reference numbers aren't enough, they'll say they can't find it—record the calls (check your state laws and make sure you comply, which may require nothing in some states, or may require your notifying each person who comes on the line in others)

Fine, sure. How bad does something have to taste for it to stop being snobbery? Is there any time you can criticize any food? Taste is subjective at the margins but Red Delicious are famously reviled, and for good reason. Whatever measure you pick for "aspects of foods that humans like" they will fail.

You're allowed to be that one person that them, I like things that nobody else likes too but I'm not stupid enough to serve them to others.
I love upbase, but I’d say it’s bad form to go on somebody else’s announcement to promote your own product, despite the fact that they both fill very different roles.

Tax domicile laws are often in effect only after 180-something days in most developed countries. For example, imagine you are moving after 270 days from e.g. Croatia with 12% tax rate to Germany with 42% tax rate. The 90 days you are making money in Germany can be still taxed in Croatia.

Did you know that Madoff didn't charge fees? His crime was faking the numbers, but the way he made money is, much like SBF, through leverage of managing that money.

I don't know much about it, but until the lawyers got involved, the only losses were the made-up gains. Then they took $4B in real money.

So, who's the real crook?

I like where your head is at. If you've been at the current job long enough, and both companies have solid financials, why not? See if you can find both companies balance sheets publicly and compare how much debt they have, maybe you can even see if it's in adjustable rate loans.

See also all accounts of Twitter deal funding, which seemed to boil down to "I'm oversubscribed (lie), so you'd better say yes now and give me more money than you want."

Which is essentially all fundraising in a crowded market, but you would expect investors to be more sophisticated. Even accounting for selection bias (we're opining on the ones who invested).

How the modern CEO job is broken
The “you have to have someone on the carrot” message sometimes took too long to disappear. Maybe it should fade away once you try to move something else.
Those are some candid remarks by the new CEO.

"I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience. [...] Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated[1] and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."[2]

Yes this is it. People don't realize how many police officers are murdered each year (more than 1 per week). It's just a precaution.

I mean, don't get me wrong I think going after a news site is bull shit and I think we should all rally around this guy, but it was not these officers' decision to arrest them and I don't think it was excessive, it was safe (for everyone).

In other countries we wouldn't hear anything about excessive force (because the jaw of the one being arrested would have been broken).
If the good deads of SBF shielded him from scrutiny, this implies that the crypto firms who did not do good deeds were scrutinized.

You're not arguing with the op, I never said he wasn't a journalist. He obviously was, being a publisher. I said he lost goodwill and arguably integrity.

Of course I wouldn't. I'm not bent out of shape about assange advocating. He prioritized his life, as is normal. He isn't a hero. He prioritized his principles as well. I'm bent out of shape about the doj precedent. Arguing over the true definition of journalism is beyond our postings, but if you put things in a journal you might be a journalist. That doesn't keep him from being a fulcrum that society will pivot over. Why are you so angry and who is it directed towards? Or am I misreading the tenor here?

Illegal transactions are also 11-12% of the USA's economy.[1]

In 2019, forex volume was $6.6T per day [2], or $1716T per year. Meanwhile global GDP was only $87.5T [3]. In other words, almost 95% of global currency volume is speculation. Why would anyone use currencies that are mainly used for speculation?

Both the traditional and crypto economies are reflections of human behavior, but because crypto is more transparent, you can see it for yourself. And a lot of people don't like what they see. But it's not a new problem nor unique to new currencies or technologies.

"The definitive list of good and bad apples."

Definitive, eh? Qualifiers like this are amusing, as they're generally self-proclaimed.

However, having a domain like applerankings.com, as well as a comprehensive, in-depth and entertaining library of apple reviews, definitely helps make the case.

What other heuristics have you seen out there that help make a self-proclaimed "definitive source" become an indisputable one?

I worked at Cisco for about 3 months as a contractor before not getting renewed a month ago. Most hilariously inept infrastrecture code base I have had the displeasure of working with so far, and this team was supposed to be the one paving the way forward for finally bringing them from on-prem to the cloud. Literally could only understand my manager about half the time as he had a thick accent and spoke quickly (did not have this problem with any other team members despite them having the same type of accent), and my laptop broke halfway through and it took them a week to send someone out to fix it. Making about $50k per year more full time in a new gig and get to work with an infra code base that I actually enjoy. AMAA.
Podcast with John Gedmark of Astranis (YC W16) on Speed
John and Ryan McLinko started Astranis in 2015. Both spent time in traditional aerospace and wanted to use geostationary satellites to deliver internet to billions of people, at a pace that would make traditional companies blush.

Astranis is now worth >$1B and is prepping deployments that will get internet to millions of people in Alaska and Peru. They build 2-7x faster than traditional companies, shipping a first prototype satellite in 3 months, and getting to space a year later.

This podcast dives into what makes Astranis move fast, including John's thoughts on when to go slow, and examples of scrappiness and hustle, like building their own clean room and using an SF park for satellite testing.

The hard part about robotics is that you're interfacing with the real world, where everything can go wrong. It's like you take a program and run it on a CPU with a radiation source next to it. All your strong invariants suddenly become a "maybe". Not literally of course, but that's how it feels if you start your robot for the 100th time thinking nothing can go wrong this time ...
> If the value of gold crashes it still has an inherent value because it's a useful physical good (looking pretty is not the only application of gold).

The value of gold is protected by the fact that the majority of it's holdings (at least, according to this[1]) aren't used for speculation. Still, a good chunk of them are, which means there can be pretty huge swings and it's considered a poor investment.

Have tried to say the inherent value of a dollar is because it's backed by the U.S. military, but fundamentally, it's the same reason. Dollars aren't held as speculative assets. The poor returns from the dollar are one of the reasons why people push other investments. If currency does enter into speculative territory, bad things can (and do) happen. See Hot Money[2].

Anything, even if it has inherent value, can be extremely dangerous when there's a large number of speculators. Because no matter the value, speculation can drive the price much, much higher. And it's a snowballing effect - the more an asset rises, the more people want to buy it for speculative reasons, and the more people buy it the more it rises.

And then any inherent value (if it even exists) looses significance - you're in a game of chicken with the other investors, trying to both hold on as long as you can and get out before everyone else does. The winner gets the fortune, the loser is left holding the bag.

The thing is, almost everyone in the crypto space seems interested in speculation. It might be speculation + decentralized voting rights or speculation + digital ownership, but speculation is always at the heart of it. The idea that if you get in early you'll be able to cash out for a big profit. Of course a space almost entirely driven by speculation is going to be inherently dangerous and unstable, and the "opportunities" are the same type as those of a casino.

And yet, real world production rust programs exist and measured performance is generally excellent.

People are acting like this graph they saw for the first time today means that Rust is running at sub-Ruby speeds, when even with these excess copies we already know, and have known for years how rust programs have been performing in real life.

That there is room for improvement here does not mean that the status quo was not already excellent.
Your parent was talking about gold in the niche case of protecting from inflation, and passed no judgement over the merit of doing so, only that it was better then cryptocurrency in that particular niche.

If you want to purchase gold to protect your money from inflation (which you probably shouldn’t) then you probably buy it through some insured exchange—maybe even through your bank—that will keep it for you, if you don’t trust any exchange, that is your problem. If you need to transfer your money, or use it, then you’re not protecting it against inflation anymore are you? So you will just use regular money for that.

Anyway, you shouldn’t buy gold to protect your money from inflation. Instead you probably should just risk an inflation and keep your money in a savings account, or buy secure government bonds for it, or something.
This graph is missing a key aspect: the "it utterly fails and we never speak of it again" section.

I wouldn't suggest using swimming to calculate your maximum heart rate, as you have less control over when you breath. Also, you don't want to be out of breath anywhere near water, the potential for passing out and drowning is too great.

Just put on your heart rate monitor, get warmed up, and then sprint as fast as you can until you collapse, most easily done by sprinting uphill. Note your maximum heart rate recorded.

It's possible you haven't calculated actual max heart rate.

It is a starting point, but fit individuals increase their max heart rate and should take a stress test.

I anticipate CBDC being something for the peons to use, not the elite. Yes, the government can monitor transactions, but it currently has to jump through a lot more loopholes to do so. I understand and agree with your sentiment, with the additional point that smaller banks are also going to be made obsolete if a CBDC is rolled out.

But the wealthy and connected will most certainly have their own way of getting around the system. Whether that means moving their money into physical assets, or onto the market, I don't know. I don't think cash is going to go away, but I do see the government incentivizing regular people to solely use CBDC, and once you're on that system, you are a serf.

This theoretical double standard doesn't exist. In you follow aviation news circles closely, you'll see every couple months these days a photo go viral that someone has captured of actively classified aircraft operating in open areas. Nothing ever happens to these people because obviously what they're doing cannot be illegal.

The article doesn't really provide any information about what specific material on the site they took objection with, but it seems unlikely that it was just a photos of classified aircraft operating in the open, as that material exists in lots of places that don't get raided by the FBI.

My employer recently updated our health insurance offering with a plan from UHC called Surest. They were formerly branded as Bind, but have seemed to pivot after their UHC acquisition (the former Bind program had on-demand coverage, whereas the Surest program is more like a traditional copay plan). Part of this plan is an app where you can type in a procedure, browse a list of providers, and select one based on copay price. They claim that their copay is based on UHC’s evaluation of their efficiency and effectiveness. The copay is supposed to be a singular all-in price covering all services related to the procedure (e.g., no separate bill for anesthesia, etc). Dr visit $10-$65, ER visit $325, etc.
