That seems completely different—the active ingredient in debrox is peroxide, which foams up and in theory loosens the earwax (a cerumenolytic). If you want to be cheap use diluted hydrogen peroxide.

But there seems to be mixed evidence as to whether it's any better than distilled water.
Among its other endeavors, FTX created FTT, a token that had a peak notional market cap just under $10B, and that value seems to have been used to paper over massive holes in the FTX balance sheet. Massive, unexplained movements of FTT between FTX and Alameda Research[1] presaged the imminent collapse of both companies, and Binance dumping their FTT holdings was the precipitating event. FTX is about as "crypto" as you can get.

Even if that was true (which it is not) it is still valuable for the people that use it and for the liquidity providers who can employ their capital in a reasonably safe manner without relying on banks.

In fact one could argue that the majority of investors knew precisely that it was a scam, precisely that it was a house of cards and, blinded by their own greed, thought they could get in and out before it all fell down taking some other sucker with it.

The people I feel bad for in this situation are the people on the receiving end of the pension funds that bought into it.

You're not describing a blockchain here, but rather a Merkle tree (also called a hash tree). Or, (because the tree-like behavior is actually undesirable here) just an array of hashes.

Just because something has a set of hashes in a roughly linear timeline doesn't make it a blockchain. For example, git isn't a blockchain either.
This is a personal nitpick, I'm glad this mouse works well for you & that's all that matters, but I hate the light on the "G" mice. When I was using one I covered it in electrical tape because the light was really bright and hurt my eyes when my hand wasn't resting on it (eg I was typing).

From my personal experience: The places that I've seen so far that use that system (including one place that I regularly attend with a larger group) do not require an account or anything: Scan a QR code, if you don't want to log in just enter your credit card number, and start ordering. If you're not comfortable with that approach there's usually also some way to order without a phone.

Regarding "scam their friends": 99% of the time it's not about "scamming": Cashiers ask people for which items they want to pay and mistakes happen because people sometimes remember things wrong. Once everyone paid there are still some few unaccounted items for the table due to those honest mistakes.
I would probably add a distinction that one of the main current use-cases proven is avoiding restrictions rather than regulation/laws. I think a much more positive case can be made for working around limitations that are put in by large players in various industries to make it harder for the common person to do something or start a business in a given area, even in cases where there aren't specific laws around it.
If FTX isn’t crypto, then I guess Binance, Coinbase and Crypto.com aren’t crypto either?

Funny how crypto pumpers, when they were looking to sell some NFTs or whatever, have been more than happy to promote these exchanges as easy ways for retail investors to get their money into the system. But when the shit hits the fan, now the same crypto pumpers are saying that real crypto is something completely else.

Agreed about digital modulation, but I recall hearing multipath a lot more on FM, or perhaps it was just more obnoxious there. Traveling around large buildings or under a metal bridge would bring that familiar rapid flutter as the car moved through places where the reflections would reinforce and cancel.

> Solidity, which is not Turing complete

From https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf:

"[The EVM] is a quasi-Turing-complete machine; the quasi qualification comes from the fact that the computation is intrinsically bounded through a parameter, gas, which limits the total amount of computation done."

> By restricting semantics you have finer control over potential slippages.

Solidity have had plenty of "slippages" already and a generally misguiding design, and at least initially was not really into "restricting semantics". Plenty of points made previously, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14691212.
I guess I'd say that a sufficiently (!) accurate language model is indistinguishable from a AGI limited to text. The question is, is that level of accuracy achievable. I'm not claiming, btw, we are close to that.

By contrast it feels like driving requires an understanding of effects that are really hard to distill from pure driving data. Not just analytically hard, but requiring an understanding of external context.

But it's certainly a fine point.
> I think most people would find these clearer if they used the functions view/set/etc, rather than the various operators which are just alternatives to those.

Everyone has their own tastes. Someone unfamiliar with the notation of ordinary algebra might argue for "you will have to find two numbers that the difference between the two is 10 (that is, so much as is our number) & that we make the product of these two quantities, the one multiplied by the other, exactly 1, that is, the cube of the third part of the variable" (https://www.maa.org/press/periodicals/convergence/how-tartag...) as easier to understand than "find u and v such that u - v = 10 and u v = 1", but I think most modern readers would agree that people uncomfortable with the algebra are better served by learning how to read the latter than by sticking with the former. (And, I think, also that it doesn't help either to keep the variables but replace the symbolic operations by words: `(and (eq (subtract u v) 10) (eq (mult u v) 1))`, in pseudo-Lisp.)
Just gonna say it a better world would be one where they didn’t make it to 50.

Maybe someone can help illuminate a nagging question I've had for quite sometime around this whole FTX debacle:

Practically every single VC seed round story I've heard from new/young founders is that the process is nothing short of a colonoscopy into not only their business, but also their professional network, and even their personal lives!

I look at the list of institutional investors, from the "big boys" in the VC game, to pension funds and I can't for the life of me believe the current narrative that every level of due diligence checks seemed to fail in this single edge case.

From a systems perspective this doesn't make me think "oh what a crazy one off, people must have been sleeping at the wheel", this makes me think "this isn't a bug, this is a feature."

So the real question is, how many more proverbial rotten apples are in the basket of VC?
I agree that there is no such a thing as no bias, but the fact of the matter is that the chatbot appears to be biased against what "an average" person thinks and leans towards the direction of mainstream progressive elites (as they are in charge of most of the culture producing institutions).

If one thinks that's good - I guess - depends on their priors, but as I said, I hope it will make the right wing people realise that this is a problem worth addressing.

So far we mostly heard about that from the progressives worried about the AI being biased the other way around.

How many exactly? Without numbers, calling it mass-anything is blowing this way out of proportion. So called fakeDisorderCringe has been a thing for a while, thanks to TikTok. But is there any sign that a) it is seriously widespread and b) doesn't "go away by itself", when the kids get bored of pretending?

This appears to be nothing more than a short lived cringy TikTok / YouTube trend that will be over sooner than later, no different from goth culture. God I am glad I will never have children that I need to keep from melting their brains with social media.

Buying more expensive manufacturing equipment for your factory is an investment, even if the value of that machine falls after you buy it.

Investments generate an ROI, like the parent gave examples of (rent, dividends, the production of goods). Speculation is about arbitrage and reselling things at higher prices.
If social contagion can get people to develop serious ticks imagine how many things we automatically do or feel or think that are a mere result of random social pressures
I’ve worked for various network/telco equipment providers over the course of 20+ years, and there have only been a couple of cartoonishly evil moments that I can recall. Certainly not to the level of thinking that I needed to quit to save my soul. There were some soulless executives, but the business models weren’t morally bankrupt. I have been paid reasonably well (not Bay Area / FAANG well). Most of the companies don’t exist anymore, and I have been through my fair share of layoff cycles.
James Earl Jones, according to legend, had a horrific stutter growing up. If you're not familiar, he played Darth Vader and has one of the deepest, richest voices in movies - it is very much his main asset.

Long story short, I read somewhere (usual "I didn't verify this at all" caveat applies) they did some brain scans on him to see if they could figure out anything about stuttering, and as it turns out, when he speaks now, he uses the part of his brain that relates to singing, rather than talking. He didn't fix the problem, in other words, he just sang his way around it, and once you keep that in mind, listening to him speak has a feel to it.

I had crippling social anxiety when younger, I would feel absolute terror going into a party for instance. But I also play in bands, and not once have I ever experienced stagefright in 30ish years of live performance. But if I do a good show and an attractive person approaches me afterwards, I'm just as awkward and useless as ever at closing the deal. In fact, I only feel comfortable hanging out at a bar if I'm playing there - if I'm working, in other words.

Basically, a room full of your peers is not the same as an audience, so don't bother contrasting the two situations; I can tell you with great confidence that they are two different things, even when they are comprised of exactly the same group of people. So whatever you do, don't be confused about why you do well in one and not so much in the other. This is how the anxiety brain works.

The usual suggestion from professionals these days seems to be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy after just about any diagnosis, but it doesn't sound like you've sought a diagnosis for your social anxiety yet. Worth pursuing - there are also pills that can help without the debilitating effects of alcohol or other things people use to get over that hump.
Is it? It's been years since I, most of my family, or my coworkers have turned on the radio (for non-Bluetooth audio)...my aging FIL insisted on it during a trip back in August (to much good-natured ribbing from his kids) but that's the last time I remember.
This is somewhat gigantically missing the point. Traditional investments have some kind of income stream based on actually creating value. When a company makes money to disburse me as dividends, they have actually created value and been able to generate some money in exchange. Therefore they can distribute the income without the company itself being cannabilised and sold to a greater fool. You could squint at it and consider that they are selling 1% of the company each time, but ignore the fact that they're also growing the company by 1% each time by creating real world value in their activities.

"He only gave himself a 20 percent chance of success, but, in his mind, SBF needed extreme risk to maximize the expected value of his lifetime earnings—and, therefore, the good his earn-to-give strategy could do. The fact that he was, by his own lights, overwhelmingly likely to fail was beside the point."

I guess that the whole mess boils down to a few old chestnuts - #1) Don't bet money you can't afford to lose (investors) and also that #2) you can only run at the red-line in terms of pharmacology for so long before it bites you in the arse.
I share the nagging question! The only thing I can think of is that he was "making money" quickly, showing his skills as a trader. This...greed...might have been blinding to the investors.

I worked for a few startups like that - we had a great team, we had great technology, we were making the world a better place without harming anyone… and we ran out of money while negotiating sales contracts. In one case I continued working there without pay for 9 months, just because everything-except-the-money was amazing (and the CEO chose to sell all of her personal assets in order to keep the employees being paid as long as possible).

Could be generally a good approach if the methods employed were more public rather than clandestine.

Or, as have been shown plenty of times, “the left”’s stance is more scientifically accurate, and a tool scraping many scientific results will thus lean towards the data’s side. Also, ‘conservative’ in itself is not a real.. set of biases? It is location and time-dependent, so it makes sense that with a multi-cultural source of data (from multiple decades, centuries) its effects will be negated.
