Speak for yourself. Before I read your full comment I assumed your last line was a literal joke.

Countless charlatans have run confidence scams (cons) in the crypto space, accuring money and attention around a centralized platform, in a tech area predicated on decentralized technology.

Living through the MtGox era, watching the corners of the Internet refer to the incident for a decade and then the Shocked Pikachu faces now? I just can't.

I don't care about crypto and "the masses". I invest in things I understand, and it hasn't _burnt_ me yet. I understand crypto and it's unique value prop and it sure as hell doesn't involve investing in or putting my money into a centralized platform. And certainly not one run by the blessed-ilk of Wall Street.

Once again, ever so slight skepticism for the win. It's truly unbelievable the irrationality people engage in when they think they're in on something even when they don't actually understand it!

"The line goes up" is a cautionary tale, and yet I think some folks really missed the whole middle section talking about the psychology that the vultures (NFT, centralized exchanges, etc) are preying upon when chasing explosive growth (or riches, on the other side of the equation).

> and smart contracts don't replace the need for social trust.

idk, a (still relatively) fat stack of crypto sitting on my Ledger would disagree.

Meh. Being a middleman, or doing something better than companies do themselves, is the foundation of most economic value creation.
Assuming you cashed out, wouldn't it be something like "that 10% you earned 10 years ago" because if you never cashed out then you're not liable.

I mostly agree with that but you don’t need to hand wave as much.

The atmosphere of mars is roughly equivalent too 2 inches of soil if the source is directly overhead and 3 inches at a 45 degree angle, but far more than that at low angles. Anything below the horizon is blocked by the surface of Mars, so you end up with well over 50% shielding from cosmic rays vs the trip to Mars. Being further from the sun is also beneficial.

You definitely want to live and work underground on Mars or at minimum below a large water tank, but even just landing in a valley can noticeably reduce radiation exposure as the mountains block portions of the sky so too do they block a portion of cosmic rays.
I literally copy and pasted what I could find from the brief article. Your beef is with the authors.
They've typically still lost fat though, even if they've gained weight.

I don't know what sort of stats there are comparing those who've lost weight and successfully kept it off (for, say, 10 years or so) via exercise/sports vs via dieting alone, though from what I know it's a pretty low percentage that do manage in the latter group. My understanding is that the initial weight loss is primarily down to diet changes, but exercise works better at helping maintaining a healthier weight/lifestyle.
Well... they're stealing it (perhaps legally, but still) from the people of Russia. The people of Russia are not so rich that it doesn't hurt. And people like that sometimes become international aggressors because of that.

It's not just what the oligarchs are doing. You need to think about what happens to the people as well.
The reckoning perhaps is that as rates rise, investors will not need to resort to investing in "tech" companies.

The over-availablility of cheap capital was one factor leading to the rise of VC and BS "tech" companies, but the other factor was that rates were so ridiculously low for so long investors were essentially forced to invest in this speculative nonsense.
Noone denies it. Climate change is something that was happening on this planet for last 4.6bn years for what we know, and most likely will happen in future.

What people are denying, and yours truly among them, is follow a bunch of corrupted politicians and "activists" who pushing their destructive (yet lucrative for them) policies under umbrella of "climate change".

Of course! There was a time when LOC was the measure of productivity just like the number of cold touches you make to convert to a discovery call. I've worked for public companies where you needed to make 300 cold calls a day and they are listed on NASDAQ. What I'm trying to say is that sales metrics has had time to evolve since 3500 BC. Meanwhile Comp Sci is still in it's infancy. The ironic part is that for an industry that is obsessed with data and metrics, engineers abhor any kind of metric to track performance because it's perceived more of an art. Meanwhile salespeople are under a microscope and are totally okay with it because if you're good, you're generally the highest paid person in the org.

What about the funds that FTX invested back into Sequoia?
I used to love Namecheap but I went to login after not needing to for some time and they had automatically turned on 2FA and they had an old phone number on file which made it impossible to login. I had to contact them to turn it off and spend some time to be able to finally access my account and it left a bad impression. I’ve since started using porkbun and will transfer everything to them. They used to be great but their interface has changed horribly and I just don’t like them anymore or want to use them with all the changes they’ve made.

This article is suspicious because it is very opinionated. It feels like a study that would benefit China in attempting to create a gap between India and western powers. They would need a left wing Marxist type social justice argument about why India should feel like a victim.

This study seems to provide exactly this type of wedge. Down the language used.

India did not have an industrial base before Britain arrived there. England was the first to industrialize so any industrialization in India could only have come from Britain.

This study feels deeply biased and strongly suspect it is a Chinese influence operation. I would like to know who funded this.
And of course this is intolerably awful because only progressive, woke, leftist, pro-Government-covid-control sources should in any way be tolerated in their views? Only they're free of slant and emotional bias? Indeed. Why not analyse a source for its specific arguments and their evidence instead of its political tendency?
That’s the same video as the post, unless I’m missing something.
Thanks for your feedback. I agree it needs visual improvements. I chose not to spend money on an artist -- just had too much in the project already. The trailer should have been done by a 3rd party. I don't grasp what is going to appeal to someone anyway.

You know what? I won't make any more. I think I'm done.

I'm not interested in learning what people like or adjusting to what's popular. Why on earth would I go through this again? Nothing I am interested in working on is ever going to be profitable. Simple as that.

Auditor checks adherence to particular rules. You can assert nefarious activities at higher level, but it's likely out of job scope to do something about it
A related idea I have is to support subscription for OPML feeds. That way, instead of getting a private personal feed URL that merged hundreds of feeds that you follow on the server side, clients should support subscribing to an OPML feed, which can just be links to whatever you are following (games, posts, users, discussions etc).

The OPML feed changes, your RSS client picks up the changes and starts following the correct endpoints.
The only reason bitcoin and friends are “worth” anything at all is precisely because there are no regulations. If crypto companies had to play by the same rules as real fintech firms the whole thing would collapse. Why? Because the entire crypto space is nothing but hot air.

If exchanges and stuff had to play by any rules, they’d go out of business because there is no other reason for crypto’s existence but to run scams.

(Okay maybe it won’t entirely collapse but crypto certainly wouldn’t be valued anywhere near what it is now)

I’ll rephrase. There are too many parents who don’t care about their kids or what happens to them. This tendency goes up a bit, I think, if the kids are not necessary for retirement or care when old age sets in.
Not fair. They ran a "rigorous diligence process" at the time of their investment.

> FTX's purchases of IOU's (i.e., crypto) that declined in value are not likely to be recoverable. But Bitcoin still has substantial value.

This was kind of what Matt Levine focused on in his coverage of FTX - where did the money go? It wasn't just that they invested in crypto assets, they created their own crypto asset, assigned it a huge value, and put it on the balance sheet at an imaginary price. Used those "assets" as collateral to borrow real money. Then they spent real money on Bahamian property, political contributions, charitable contributions, naming an arena, and the KILLER - bailed out Alameda repeatedly using real money.
This seems flaky at best. Either becoming an extreme lapse of judgment - or intentional ignorance. His position as a higher up makes claiming the former difficult.
Look, it’s not my analogy, but I think you’re all being quite disingenuous.

If I can use alternate stores then some popular apps - Fortnite is an obvious one - will go them exclusively, forcing people to set up and use a store which will probably do less auditing. Those apps will be able to steal more of my data, and some of them might (will) be malicious (“poison”).

Once a malicious app destroys my phone, “the system is down”; I can’t use any apps regardless of where I bought them.

Ransomware is a multi billion dollar business, and alternate stores will be motivated to cut corners. What could go wrong?

It doesn't make heat. It makes fast neutrons. Turning them into usable heat is a project of its own.

Turning dumb heat into electric power is expensive. Nothing that depends on doing that can ever compete with wind and solar, anymore.

Tritium doesn't grow on trees. Making it by blasting those hot neutrons into a thousand tons of FLiBe is easy enough. Getting your few grams a day, at PPB concentration, out of that thousand tons of stuff is... nobody has any idea how. But you need to, to have fuel for tomorrow.

No, there won't be any of that. It would be fantastically more expensive than fission. Fission is not competitive, and gets less so by the day. Fusion is nothing but a money pit (with the just barely-possible exception of D-3He).
If this is the case, why is the EU demanding Apple open up iOS? Apple doesn't need EU. The do well enough in China and Japan to cover any meager loss the EU could generate.
Block 170 is not the Block Satoshi Nakamoto used to send the first txn to Hal. Block 181 shows the actual txn. In it we see the send back feature of change to Satoshi Nakamoto that was unique to their wallet. In wallet 1cbq... Block 181 10 coins left in wallet went to Hal & sent 30 back to the origination wallet. This wallet was special & Hal wanted to keep it special. In the letter to Hal that morning at 12:00 Satoshi Nakamoto sender tells Hal coins were sent & the senders initials were in the wallet used to send it. That was 1-12-09 1:02am after the attempt to first test send of a txn in Block 170 was made. In the letter to Hal, Satoshi sends their regards on the morning of the Jan 12.

> Publishers and advertisers want more fine grained control over where the ad is placed, when it’s placed, and how it’s consumed by the listener.

There you go.

Ad tech is behind when it comes to podcasts? Who fucking cares. Not the audience. Podcast advertising is the closest thing to traditional broadcast ads for TV and radio—when ads were still inert instead of sentient. There's not a damn person on this side of the divide that sees the things you mention as being a significant downside. Not having the self-awareness to realize it is pure déformation professionnelle; this entire comment reads like a burglar lamenting the fact that people keeping their money in the bank instead of at home under their mattresses makes it harder to break in and take it.
/(a|b)/ does mean roughly "a string with an 'a' or a 'b' in it". So /(a|b)/ should have "baaaaaa" as a match. The string has an 'a'. The string has a 'b'. It matches.

In the appendix links at the bottom, there's a comment that a large percentage of houses in Japan are still built with post & beam. I've been prompted with a slew of recent "Japanese carpentry videos" that seem to sync with this.

Total annual US public research into fusion that is not ITER or this project (which does not come from the fusion pot. As others have said this project was built for weapons research) is about $300 million per year[1]. We, as a country, do not give a rats ass about having fusion as a power source. VC funding recently (for the first time) supported many fusion startup ideas at or above the $300 million level. Too bad ZIRP is over and private funding is now likely to dry up. The recent private funding in fusion was really amazing. Many new ideas and methods are being tried. This is what fusion research needed. Not spending billions on magnets and cement in France that is ITER. Hopefully some of them have a long enough runway to get promising work done and get follow-up funding.

This is a very good article about balloon framing and how houses are built. However, balloon framing is NOT an example of worse-is-better. Post-and-beam, the technique that balloon and platform framing have replaced, is just worse-is-worse. It requires more effort, more expensive materials, more skilled labor, and is less sophisticated in how it uses materials and so for the same amount of materials produces a weaker and less stable, less efficient structure.

Worse-is-better is about how a faster to market, good enough solution that people can use is better than the 'better' solution that comes later. The solution that is simple will be used again and again, the elegant solution that is more efficient or more general but harder to apply will be neglected since users have high skill with the simpler tool and will prefer it as a result. Balloon framing (and then platform framing) is simpler AND more elegant AND far cheaper AND produces a superior result, so it's simply not a case of worse-is-better.
Also interesting how old this system is and how everything is assigned once and never updated. Saint Petersburg airport is LED because the city was called Leningrad at the time the codes were assigned. Aeroflot, the largest Russian airline, has code SU, most probably because Soviet Union, and because it was the only Soviet airline.
