Every self printed clown bucks scheme is a standalone Ponzi by definition. Early gamblers buy first batch of clown bucks, then hype the price, then next group of gambles buy slightly more expensive clown bucks, then hype, then then buy, in a loop, and each new buyer funnels his money onto enriching early gamblers. The only difference is that FTX has at least 3 Ponzis running - FTT, SRM, MAPS. We can call it a Ponzi CDO of sorts :) but it's still a Ponzi. Sure, they did some exchanging on the side, some investing or donating, but the main business was printing and selling clown bucks.
I highly doubt the phone and PC markets will converge any time soon.

Apple has made seemingly made the most progress toward this and it isn't hard to imagine someone plugging their iPhone in to a screen when they arrive at work and resuming their Excel spreadsheet with the connected keyboard, no different than the company-issued laptop today. But I don't see what incentive Apple has to make that a reality when they can keep selling people two separate $1000+ devices.

Edit: I would love to be proven wrong, so any opinions/examples to the contrary are very welcome.
That is not true. Health insurance in the US has to cover all healthcare, but not experimental treatment.

Suppose the insured did use a non evidence supported vaccine or whatever, the vaccine itself would not be covered by insurance, but the healthcare needed by the damage caused by the use of unsupported medicine would be covered.

Similarly, health insurance has to pay for your healthcare if you get into a car accident and do not have sufficient auto insurance to pay for your healthcare costs. Technically, you are sort of buying redundant insurance if you buy PIP.
And then you donate the art to a foundation or charity and pocket a fat tax credit, thus avoiding the problem of having to actually find a sucker to pay $1 million. Some jurisdictions have cracked down on this, but for a long time it was a popular way to game the system.
Another one I'm trying out is Grist. They have Python scripting for functions and their way of viewing multiple tables on one screen is helpful. So far I'm liking it, although it misses some things like prefiltered referential selection boxes, and I would like more entry validation for deployment to typical internal end users. They're also not great at marketing themselves.

I looked at Budibase but it doesn't offer self-referencing table relationships and the CSV import process doesn't seem to support updates as cleanly as Grist. And the interface seemed kind of sluggish to me.
This is an odd take given that the majority of remote software developer jobs I've found, with form applications, are specifically listed at the senior level or higher. Maybe you're suggesting it's something like Groucho Marx's quote "I wouldn't belong to a club that would take me as a member."

I think the idea of "fully diluted market cap" is essentially bs. It is answering the question what if the supply went up but the demand went up to the same degree as to keep the price stable, what would the market cap be then?

That's not how it works

Simply because they can and no one is going to stop them, so why not? This is the system working as intended.
I've noticed it can be tricky to avoid PayPal at times due to their partnerships with other large companies.

Are there any decent alternatives that are viable competitors to PayPal that one might want to move to if their terms become unacceptable? If not, I guess there's always the notion of refusing to do business with those who use PayPal as their one and only payment processor.

> That is technically true, but literacy tests, poll taxes and other voter suppression methods were legal until 1965

Poll taxes were actually prohibited by the 24th Amendment in 1964, not the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

And literacy tests weren't banned as a voting prerequisite in the whole country until 1970.
I somewhat disagree with this on the surface. 2008 was a byproduct of banks holding ratings companies (Moody's and Standard and Poor's) hostage. The banks gave completely fraudulent ratings to loans, the ratings companies falsified ratings on packages, and eventually the house of cards came tumbling down when enough people tried to pull their money out.

There is a way to rate and classify derivatives appropriately, you just can't hold the ratings people hostage. I don't think there's a way to do that with crypto.
Most of the popular touring bikes fit your budget. Really you're just looking for durable, a wide gear range and the capacity to mount gear. Surly disc trucker has historically been one of the most popular as an example, but there are a lot of others.

Also, it can absolutely be done with cheaper. My partner and I finished a 4800 mile trip last year. I used a second hand cyclocross bike that I got off craiglist for ~500 a few years ago. She had a road bike that she bought for 200 from the local bike project.

No, that's gene modification, one type of gene therapy.

Here's a paper that discusses using mRNA as gene therapy to treat cancer [1]. Transcription into a cell's own DNA isn't a requirement for something to be gene therapy, only that the intent is to have a cell produce something it otherwise wouldn't. That can be permanent (DNA transcription), or temporary (mRNA that doesn't replicate).

I'm sorry you've been misled by the media, but mRNA and Adeno-vector 'vaccines' are not vaccines, they are gene therapy drugs. Vaccines contain an antigen.

Ramsey provides basic advice on a lot of aspects of money management. This can help with peace of mind for a lot of people.

> This is just basically everyone using Slack, as Firefox, Chrome, and Safari support web extensions API

~Basically my point. I made allowances for people who use neither, but they’re a vanishingly small user share.

> I would bet that most people who use Chrome or Firefox install extensions that can run arbitrary JS on every page, like ad blockers, full page screenshot, or “nifty” discount-coupon-code extensions.

Pretty much my point. Along with the former point, the Venn diagram is roughly all Slack users.
If we are to have a strong federal government and borders, then we will have a distinction between non-citizen illegal immigrants and citizens, and people in each group will be held to different standards. I'm not saying it's right, but those families made a conscious choice to illegally cross a national border before they ended up in that situation. The Japanese internees were just living their lives.

>Bitcoin is provably the only decentralized system that has permissionless, borderless, digital scarcity.

Why do we need digital scarcity, exactly?

>Other cryptocurrencies are less secure (the many direct forks, such as Bitcoin Cash and the like), less decentralized (Solana, BNB), less permissionless (any system that can be halted by its operators) or less scarce (Ethereum's emission schedule can be changed by a single organisation).

Ok, we agree that other cryptos are bad too.

>Bitcoin's value (not in terms of money, but in terms of usefulness) is an emergent property of the combination of proof of work, the difficulty adjustment, and its peer-to-peer nature.

But what is that useful to do? I agree cryptography and blockchains are nifty, but why do 1000's of decentralized computers need to do the work (and therefore duplicate/waste resources)? Couldn't one computer do it and make their work public so anyone/everyone could check their work?

You'll say something ambiguous thing about trust, but please give a concrete example when the above wouldn't work. Visa (and it's shareholders) have hundreds of billions of USD worth of incentive not to fuck up transactions (enough to buy enough electricity and ASICs to become 51% of miners), so why don't we let them do the work and then we check their work?

Is that bad because it's what we do now and it works?
Look at Uber's funding rounds. They have had round after round, and each round increases the valuation such that previous rounds' investors make a "profit" (their stock value increases). Yet, Uber isn't making a profit.

Airbnb did the same on a much smaller scale.

Ignoring the investment round topics of both companies, they also both made their actual financial progress by blatantly ignoring local laws.

Airbnb walked right past hotel laws even though their hosts were clearly party to those laws. Uber drove right past the local taxi laws.

On the human side, life got far worse for people living in cities where Airbnb became popular. I lived in Amsterdam for a few years as Airbnb was growing, and very rapidly you started to see people buying apartment just to rent out for tourists through Airbnb. That pushed apartment rates up, and it added a lot of really shitty short term visitors to the neighborhoods.

Every tourist destination has confronted this problem, and now many laws exist specifically because of Airbnb. I would not tout this as a "success".

And in some parts of the world, the ability to sign up and become an Uber driver has resulted in harm to passengers. Prior to Uber, many of these places had regulations which made it difficult enough to become a commercial driver that no driver would risk their business for the opportunity to rob or rape a passenger.
Asking "source" and saying what you thought it was doesn't contribute to the conversation.

I don’t think you appreciate how much money $100 million is. You can literally wave massive piles of dollar bills at nearly any problem and fix it. People have gotten away with murder for much less money. I think you can avoid homelessness with it as well. Even 1/100th that amount would solve a huge number of problems.
And Europe is de facto replacing “bad” Russian pipeline gas with “good” U.S. LNG.

At a price of 4-5 times the previous cost of pipelined gas. That makes the European manufacturers non-competitive in today's markets. That will lead to a loss of manufacturing capacity for Europe as companies either go bankrupt or are forced to transfer their manufacturing to countries like China, or South-East Asia.

Or we will find that many 'prestige' brands like Mercedes-Benz or Dior or BASF, for instance, will have to either disappear or reduce their ranges markedly.

The Europe we know today is gone. Possibly forever.
Which one? Or are you just lying?
>Your instance, content within it, account you created within it, the media attached to your toots, are all incredibly fragile and can disappear at any time

You realize of course that this is true of any platform? You do have this kind of insecurity with Twitter as we are seeing in real time. Musk has already stated that he wants to reduce Twitter's infrastructure costs, he could decide that all content older than N years is being discarded, even more easily than he discarded half of Twitter's workforce.
That's true, but they still assess fines and court costs. A lot of people will actually opt to pay an increased fine to avoid having demerit points on their license. This is because they know that the demerit points will affect their insurance rates and make it more likly their license could be suspended if they commit another offense.

If you remove the option to opt for a fine instead of demerit points, then people won't be able to get out of the consequences of getting demerit points and there would be no income based discrimination. For example, someone who makes a decent living would have no problem paying an increased fine compared to someone who is living paycheck to paycheck.
I don't really like the Verge. I used to, but they just became so nakedly partisan and ideological that I just kind of gave up on them. So I came into this review with low expectations, because I wouldn't put it past them to try and sink this just due to anti-FB ideological bias.

But with that being said, I thought there were definitely some salient points in this review. I did enjoy the review.

One important thing they touched on was the high weight of the headset. I have to ask, perhaps there are some Metamates out there on HN - what was the rationale for making this a standalone headset? They're including so much new tech in here, but the hardware form factor just isn't there yet... why try and force it into this bulky box that sits on your head? It makes sense for lower power headsets like the Quest 2, but for an elite headset like this, I'd much rather have a sleek and light headset tethered to a PC / base station, or even wear some kind of power pack on my back, or ANYTHING other than have all this weight on my head.

The killer quote seems to hit the nail on the head:

"Meta is promoting it for uses that its hardware still can’t make enjoyable, offering technically innovative features without doing a good job of showcasing them."

As much as I look forward to the foveated rendering, face tracking, AR/VR future, I don't think Meta's going to be the one to trailblaze it. No, we'll have to wait for Apple to jump into the mix before these technologies become widely used, just like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and many others.
I wonder if there's a team at AWS scrambling to put together a one-click autoscaling Mastodon hosting platform. Twitter seems like it's on the verge of a mass exodus, and there's a lot of money up for grabs.
> I mean the fact that Drax is not solvent without UK government funds and the fact they have to import wood pellets from Canada/US should give you a pretty good idea that none of this is sustainable or carbon neutral.

I doesn't indicate that at all. "Sustainable" from a business point of view and "Sustainable" from a carbon production point of view are two entirely different things.
For a while, I was trying on old phones. I had LineageOS on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and it had a lot of problems (camera did not work, it would sometimes get hot and reboot, etc). Not the best experience but it was fun to try when my S2 got old.

Recently I feel like alt OSes have become really mature. I have been using a de-Googled /e/OS on a Fairphone 3+ for 1.5 years and I don't have anything to complain about the system. Even the store now works very well.

So I'd say, for your next phone, choose something that is well supported by those alternative OSes (typically Fairphone is), so that you can try, and fallback to stock Android if that's not working for you.
Space Karen didn’t make that distinction in his original tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591853644944932865

I hope the years ahead and the investigations that fill them produce a picture of a cartoonish mustache twirling villain. It would, as you’ve pointed out, make it so easy to understand. I expect something more nuanced and layered filled with self deception and good intentions might emerge. The sort of thing which reminds us that risk is not just that if gleefully explored possibility but also the sort of risk to be managed and mitigated … a dull retrograde conservatism rendered gauche by decades of SV VC survivorship bias. Time may tell.
That's ONE point of federation, but the other is cross-instance discovery and communication. If that part is underused (blocked, disabled), there's very little point in using Mastodon. You can recreate this everywhere, including at Twitter, Reddit, Discord.

Lots and lots of banks (and non banks) rely on IBM mainframe still and will for years to come. They have done this calculation on whether to replatform and migrate several times. It’s very hard to stand up a positive npv for such an idea unfortunately. I guess greenfield is very different.

Imo there's a huge distinction between microservices in a monorepo or microservices where there are 100s or thousands of git repos.

Monorepo can be much easier as you can at least verify the given build is consistent.

Monoliths don't completely avoid the problem of version compatibility, they just reduce it to a more clear layer of external clients and compatibility between N-1th release and Nth release. That's certainly worth it in the early stages of a project

if you had a refutation, you would have said it by now. as it is, you’ve tried a gish gallop, then thrown your toys out of the pram when it’s been pointed out to you

did you really think I was going to engage you in an exponentially growing series of piecemeal arguments growing less and less relevant with each iteration?

let’s close this by saying that you completely failed - and even resolutely avoided - giving any evidence or arguments that it would be even remotely possible to convict anyone for this, and then tried to prove yourself right in some alternative discussions about: sortitioning as a whole, the word “representative”, easy vs easier, the difficulty of bribing a representative, whether they have constituents, whether I have a correct grasp of corruption as a whole, etc etc etc etc, not a single one of which mattered to the central question of “would you be able to convict an ex-rep for having a sudden upwards change in job?” to which the answer is a resounding and unchallenged: no

You're right in some places, but it's more complex than that.

Yes, the USD is backed by the "full faith and credit" of the US government but the Petrodollar's global reserve status is fading. Saudi and Russia are both gearing up to trade oil to China in Yuan, for example. America's debt has passed 100% of its GDP and it has entered a period of high inflation. If the BRICS countries introduce a common PM-backed currency, it could present a better store of value than dollars and that could mean the end of the dollar's good run.

> gold is not linked to the existence of productive capacity

Industrial demand and investment demand are two different things. Silver has high industrial demand but that doesn't make it any better or worse a choice than gold for backing a currency.

> The best argument against it is that there is not enough gold

I'm not sure that's an argument against it. Also maybe it could be silver, or a basket which includes both.

I think a FAANG-level developer would probably email a team they’re interested in working with.
The genius of Steve Jobs/Apple was recognizing that phones should become computers. And that people would be willing to sacrifice battery life for that to happen.

It’s really that simple. People keep forgetting but the iPhone wasn’t the first Apple designed phone. The Motorola Rokr was. And it was a failure because it was an Apple designed Phone.

The iPhone, OTOH, was a computer in your pocket, of which one function was a phone. When the iPhone came out the RIM guys thought it was gonna be a massive failure because it had such terrible battery life and such a terrible typing experience.

But it turned out people didn’t care as much about battery life (also, Apple had gained a lot of experience with optimizing battery life through years of tuning OSX to be able to build the most energy efficient laptops) as they did about the massive screen.

Typing was a poorer experience, but auto-correct was good enough.

The phone guys who spent all their time trying to make longer lasting phones with a better physical keyboard simply could not conceive that those factors might not even be all that important for consumers.

Finally, what really blew up the iPhone was the App Store, and it’s hard to see anyone else doing it, because very few companies had the experience building up a high quality developer platform the way Apple had. Very few other companies had the developer following which would build apps for them despite the massive constraints Apple was imposing on them.
