It's sad that the entire crypto industry happened too fast for the regulations to keep up, with the unsurprising result that vast amounts of customer money have been lost and stolen - the precise reason for regulation.

I would not be surprised if many people have taken their own lives as a result of crypto losses arising directly from lack of integrity of the companies managing the customer money.
Good point. I was aware Linkbacks existed, and had tried to read that article before, but never really understood why they were supposed to be useful. Especially in the way they manifest as visual clutter on my Wordpress blog.

But I can see now that they are potentially a way for distributed conversation to happen (with a lot of work on building better UX norms). I wonder what the pros and cons are compared to ActivityPub.
Yep, I don't agree with his views but I don't think they're such a big deal. If that's his opinion then, so what really. No need for anyone to get so riled up about it. I'm sure we're all mature enough to tolerate differences in belief.
This blogpost [1] explains in detail but the gist is:

* Standard-deduction next year is $27,700 married ($13,850 single)

* Long-term-capital-gains is 0% on first $89,250 ($44,625 single)

Thus if you have the tooling to perfectly control your income, e.g. you take $27,700 in treasury bill payments and then sell off enough stock (or take qualified dividends from your corporation's bank account) in the total of $89,250, you'd end up with:

* Ordinary Income: $27,700 - standard deduction of $27,700 = $0 taxable income

* Long-Term-Capital-Gains of $89,250 = 0% ltcg tax bracket

= $116,950 ($58,427 single) of federally tax-free income

Then if you're in a no-income-tax state (such as WA, like the Adams brothers), you don't owe any taxes at all.

Agreed, and this is actually my "top level" recommendation for anyone building apps in this space: if you make a reading app, make it read from anything; if you make a publishing app, make it readable anywhere; etc. Don't fixate on implementing a specific protocol. This is what I'm trying to do with Yakread.[1]

I see these RSS-related recommendations as the next step: what can an app developer do to reduce the effort it takes for others to interop with them?

I'm just enjoying their humiliation and reputation hit. Enjoying only so much as it is the correct free market result of betting big without [edited] due diligence. Some of it is result of fed priming the economy with free money. With so much money being dropped from the helicopter there's no time for due diligence. You win some you lose some so in that sense it was a rational bet I guess but not an intelligent one.

Maybe this is just what he wants us to think, but I still think jack and twitter were different, different to other social media, old twitter was thoughtful, unique, not a run of the mill maximizing eye balls social media company (zuck mostly)

This post seems to prove that, and I truly hope we can break free of central influence on society's conversations.
I agree, ActivityPub could/should be a huge player in these changes. Jack recognizes ActivityPub's potential too, albiet as "Mastadon" rather than ActivityPub, which is somewhat a self-own to his point: the title is about internet protocols, yet here he is citing the implementation, not the protocol (which tbf was a late-coming change for Mastadon):

> As far as the free and open social media protocol goes, there are many competing projects: @bluesky is one with the AT Protocol, Mastodon another, Matrix yet another…and there will be many more.

ActivityPub is a good tool, but there's still a lot more required.

Starring someone's post kind of goes nowhere. Having a network that can at least in some cases make this popularity information or some kind of visible reaction system should at least be an option. We could have a stream of ActivityPub "Like" actions. But how do we gather & see those viewer's likes? How would we add more flexible reactions? There's work to do here, with interaction among feeds.

Moderation decisions are yet further- far further- behind, are just a couple bits of data inside most implementations. Being able to have multiple different sources of moderation, broadcasting their moderation, and letting us mix & remix these moderation feeds into our experiences is, to me, the essence of what Jack was talking about. ActivityPub has "Flag" actions which we could make a feed out of, but those are pretty bare-bones signals that I feel we'd need to expand on significantly. We don't even have a feed of moderation we can begin to work from here.

ActivityPub implementations today are a reasonably good first-order social network. We can swap toots, yay. But Jack here is talking about the higher-order networks that emerge atop the feed of posts. There's a compounding of further levels of social data, being networked too, that's not really happening so far. ActivityPub can and likely will come around to being relevant here... but right now it's too early days & that maturation into social-moderation hasn't really begun at all. Jack's post sets some good long term view, in my opinion, that ActivityPub needs to bring itself towards, regardless of this post or anyone or any org else.
A lot of wonderful people are doing that, but do those jobs pay anywhere close to the ad companies? Surely there's a lot of bright minds lost to the allure of money.

I have been struggling with this myself. Not just about programming but other creative pursuits as well. Recently it has been photography. I take pictures while knowing whatever I'm looking at has a far better picture on its wikipedia page.

This is a clinical trial result that on the face of it looks pretty good:
"Adjuvant treatment with [The Experimental Treatment] in combination with KEYTRUDA reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 44% compared with KEYTRUDA alone."

The mechanism is:

"mRNA-4157/V940 is a novel investigational messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based personalized cancer vaccine consisting of a single synthetic mRNA coding for up to 34 neoantigens that is designed and produced based on the unique mutational signature of the DNA sequence of the patient's tumor. Upon administration into the body, the algorithmically derived and RNA-encoded neoantigen sequences are endogenously translated and undergo natural cellular antigen processing and presentation, a key step in adaptive immunity."

Cancer cells typically have a lot of mutation at the DNA level, so the proteins they naturally emit or coat themselves with have mutant bits. If these mutant proteins can be used as targets for the immune system they are called neoantigens.

So I think the idea is to cause the manufacture of a lot of these neoantigen molecules to act as training targets for the patients immune system - like a regular vaccine. The immune system should get really good at attacking anything emitting the antigens, causing a powerful response against the cancer cells that naturally emit them.

The interesting thing about this vaccine is that it is a personalized medicine - each patient gets their own personal vaccine based on the random mutations found in their unique cancer DNA. Presumably this allows a wider set of targets than therapies targeting common 'shared' neoantigens.

There are probably some worries around personalized immunotherapies, because if every vaccine is unique to the patient, every new patient is kind of a first in man treatment. When the immune system goes wrong, it goes really wrong. With that said, existing treatments for very ill people can be quite dangerous so a new treatment only needs to be less dangerous for a given level of effectiveness.

Here is a nice summary that talks about the state of this kind of thing:

Years ago I library-surfed a fun finance tome of papers on the financing of WWII. What struck me most, was the massive wealth transfer from GB to the US. With GB disgorging her wealth of empire, and going unrepayably into debt. The "debt", because US politics required framing further goods transfer, despite no hope of repayment, as "loans", which were then creatively discounted away. I've never seen US industrialization stories which quantify Empire funding, so I've wondered since how large a role it played. Or in the context of TFA, to what extent was US mid-century industrialization built on wealth extracted from India?
I totally agree.

Licenses/certifications do exist. SBF had the FINRA Series 7 and 55.

https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/6204362

The loophole is that employees at hedge funds and investment advisers don't face the same licensing requirements as employees at banks and brokerages who deal directly with customers. There are people who trade billions of dollars of customer funds a week without any required regulatory exam or license.

I don't envy them.

There's plenty of modern balloon framed houses still built. Tim Uhler is a Instagram-famous framer (https://www.instagram.com/awesomeframers/) working in the PNW and builds very high-performance homes, many of which are balloon framed.

Remember that Apple is a global empire. If you have met any of their people, they learn a kind of culture language which diverts and uncenters themselves where no one person other than Cook can be seen to represent it. Understanding their brand language starts with the idea that Apple is an ideal of perfection, and beneath it are the ideals of harmony and flow. As an ideal, Apple does not have defects. Only things and maybe the past can have defects.

These other things like bugs and vulnerabilities are external to its perfection, and so they originate elsewhere, maybe in the past, maybe as something random, but certainly something devoid of meaning when compared to the ideal and its experience. Individual products are not Apple, because they are not perfection, but they align to it, and perfection is what makes it always seem just out of reach. The Apple experience exists above and over the material bounds of memory handling and input validation, so these things are external, and in the brand language, they are only ever allowed to exist in the past. By way of example, this is why their security advisories can come off as weird to analysts who confront and solve things.

The best writers speak the language of memory, and a trillion dollar company probably has more than a few of them. Consider that 80% or more of what you believe about reality comes through one of their products, and you are in-effect entranced by them. Their responsibility is to sustain this experience of hypnotic comfort and perfection. The advisory language is reduced until there is nothing left to remove, then calibrated to cause nothing more than a small ripple in your bliss.

> Would be nice if you earned a 401(k) credit/allowance each year so when you do hit it big you can rapidly play catch-up on the past 20 years or whatever.

No kidding. I spent most of my 20s and part of my 30s working for companies without a 401k (several small startups or video game studios). I'd love to put in more than the max now to make up for it, but have to make do with just buying stocks without the tax advantage.

I think that if you're considered 'behind' for your current salary and age, especially significantly so (I bet a bunch of people here, even those 10 years younger than me, probably have 5-10x more in their 401k than I do), there really shouldn't be much of a cap on what you can put into your 401k.

Like the cap should just be a max total you can have in there based on your age, not a cap per year.
That's right. Also worth noting that if you want to influence policy (as opposed to getting personal favors) it is quite effective to call their office and speak to staffer, or write a letter. Every call and letter is assumed to represent the views of hundreds of people who couldn't be bothered to call or write. You don't have to be long-winded because the only result of your action will be that a staffer puts a tally mark on a sheet of paper, but the results of those tallies can occasionally move the needle on votes.
On the one hand, sure, but on the other hand, this was literally a case of fraud. A fraudulent business is going to go out of its way to hide the fact that it's committing fraud.

This is the same conclusion I came to. Many Canadians are now against immigration due to their housing crisis. What they don’t realize is that Canada has been hit with a demographic bomb in the 1970s that other countries are now only starting to experience. Ie without immigration, the retired elderly will soon outnumber working age adults who contribute to the economy and tax revenue

They only have two choices now:

* increase or keep immigration at the same rate

* decrease or eliminate benefits like socialized healthcare and social security
