Coinbase Ventures POV on decentralized social media
I naively assume that these for profit schools would inflate their tuitions to take this into account. The students won’t care if tuition triples, if it will be paid for.
That was really interesting, thanks for sharing.
Reminds me a bit of the most depressing episode of Kino's Journey, "Three Men Along the Rails."

Kino is traveling by motorcycle along a railroad line, and encounters the first man, who is clearing away the grass and rust. He has worked for the company for fifty years. He had a wife and child when he left, but unfortunately, has never returned home since his first departure, he is unsure of their current well being. They exchange pleasantries and Kino continues her journey.

Kino the meets a second man working on the railroad the next day. This one is removing the tracks, as ordered by his employer. He he left home support his five younger brothers at home, and had never returned for the past fifty years. They comment on how well maintained the tracks are, but do not question on why.

She meets a third man on the third day as she follows the trail. He is setting down new tracks as requested by the railroad company. He reveals that he took the job to support his ill parents, but as it has been fifty years, they have most likely already passed away.
>They say they're held in custody at BNY Mellon

Doesn't the other poster's claim that the "Entire financial space" is corrupt and that "For every FTX or Binance there's an Enron or Deutch Bank ten times the size and just as villainous" undermine the claim that BNY Mellon is trustworthy?

I agree that USAA is a rare exception, but do you really trust BNY Mellon if the "Entire financial space" is corrupt, or is that just whataboutism that ignores the outrageously unprecedented and shill-droid-automated degree of unregulated untraceable corruption in the crypto space?

If you believe Coinbase is as rare and trustworthy an exception as USAA, then I've got some Trump NFT's to sell you!
> My best guess is that the situation works something like this: As a Key Shareholder (>1%), you have to approve the issuance of new shares.

"Key shareholder" isn't a thing. Shareholders elect/appoint board members. The board issues new shares. A shareholder with simply >1% of equity, say 2%, has no power over the board.

You, as an employee, have no guarantees against dilution. Dilution isn't necessarily a bad thing IF the overall value of your equity increases (e.g., the company raises at a larger valuation).

The odds of the board deciding to screw over one employee with a small share of equity seem quite low. The potential legal costs and reputation risks will most likely outweigh the cost of either buying you out or, what is most likely, doing nothing.
There are people who are choosing, and there are reasons behind which might end up being better than others, but those are often half science and half politics. Sometimes the end up being done for less than justifiable reasons. One factor is looking at scientists that seem to have 'scienced' well in the past and favoring them over new scientists. This is more conservative in that less money is sent to random ideas that won't go anywhere, but also means that funding is trapped in more classical theories lead to incorrect models and theories sticking around for longer than they should.
The Case for Boring Companies
Crypto prices haven't crashed enough to really discourage people.

For instance those bored apes are trading at about the same in ETH that they were trading at in April. Now ETH is down significantly since then, but you're not going to see tax loss harvesting until other assets are doing well and people have capital gains to write off.

it's the other way around.

Grids are made for cars. And buses, trucks (garbage trucks too), semis. They are ok at moving vehicles from houses to the highway, but you can walk them too.

Non-grids are for people and (few) cars. They are intentionally designed to discourage non-residents from driving through them. They optimize for selling the maximum amount of land and delivering the minimum conveniently drivable surface so other people don't drive near your house but you can go drive through theirs.

> The other people in the community (elderly white collar workers) could not understand at all why this was such an issue for me, but I felt like my home had been stolen from me. They had blocked me from using my own home for the main reason I had purchased it. I was really stressed about this, and couldn't sleep for months I was so angry... and I eventually had to just sell the place and move.

I'm really sorry, that sounds terrible. It sucks to be so powerless in the face of such injustice. I think you made the right decision though. There's only so much one can do in such a situation. It's best to accept one is beat and do what one can with what's left. A hard lesson of maturity but a better life in the long-run.

There is nothing factual about this unless your world view is an infantile one which believes the only valuable difference between men and women is the ability to create sperm vs the ability to carry eggs. Common complaints from women clearly reveal that isn't the case.

I'm not sure I understand your question of "why not just 1 crazed?" The fact is it was a coordinated plot. The plot included attempts to kill General Grant, Secretary of State Seward, and Vice President Johnson.

Yes, the history of the USA would have been very different if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated.

Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was a southerner from a poor background who desperately wanted the social approval of the (former) slave owning upper class. He was considerably more lenient than almost anyone else would have been in forgiving them for rebellion and restoring their citizenship rights. He stopped the attempts to redistribute land to the freed slaves, which led to decades of almost-as-bad-as-slavery conditions for blacks forced into sharecropping.

Personally, I suspect if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated, the USA would have written an entirely new constitution to fix the systemic issues that led to the war, rather than a poor attempt to paper over them with a few amendments.

I'm not a big fan of modern, winding, cul-de-sac housing developments, but one upside to their layout that I rarely see addressed is that due to the fact that the layout starts with such a strict distinction between the major connecting roads and the winding residential roads means that you will never find yourself 15 years down the road facing eminent domain from the city taking 20 feet from the front of your property because they decided the once quite road on the grid you are on now needs to expand into a major roadway.

Show HN: Install Nix on Your Steam Deck
I wrote an article about how to get Nix on your Steam Deck!

Big takeaways for me:
* Steam Decks are very fun to hack on
* Linux Consoles are good
* There are more knobs in systemd units than I remember
* Flatcar Linux is a thing that exists
* Remoting into a console is fun
* A/B boots are less interesting than one might expect when you're used to NixOS
What do you mean by "scientific modes"? Jupyter notebooks?

I've never used that, so I don't know what it is exactly nor how to compare. But, although the product comparison page [0] says idea lacks it, there's a doc page that says it has it [1]. It also shows up in the settings window of my IdeaU with Python plugin.

According to this other comparison page [2], it would actually seem that the Idea plugin does more than Pycharm.

Anecdotally, there is a correlation between being poor and working on your own car. There is likely an aspect of this law that is rich HoA members not wanting to live near poorer families, or at the very least be able to control what they do. Remember also that in this country race / ethnicity still correlates strongly with financial stability. So this law is basically "I don't want my Latino neighbors working on their cars".

>Grids are the best way to lay out a city so you don't end up with ridiculous burbs like this where it's a 1.5 mile walk between adjacent lots.

That's an extreme example. "Non-grid" isn't a proper category, there are lots of ways of organizing streets that aren't regular grids. The important feature is permeability and alternative routes, not rectilinear structure as such.

Sprawl suburb layout is bad because it goes out of its way to limit the number of alternate routes. Literally goes out of its way -- the roads twist and turn like a space-filling curve, often with all traffic funneled into just a few entrances/exits from the development onto the larger road network. That doesn't happen by accident, it's planned that way, to limit through-traffic that residents have to endure (meanwhile they impose through-traffic on everyone else who doesn't live in those developments). Whereas organic non-grid layouts still have plenty of redundancy. Check out the street pattern of London or Manchester or any British city that isn't Milton Keynes.

The geometric advantage of grids is most acute at the smaller scales: they maximize the amount of area that is within walking distance of any given point. Public transport stops, shops, schools, etc.

how to bear your commute is the wrong question. You cannot bear a 2h one way commute for an extended amount of time. It's a recipe for depression and ruining your health. It's not sustainable.

The correct question is how to escape this long commute. You either need a different job, or live in a different place, or both.

Make a plan how to escape now. Every day longer you wait, you will one day look back and wish you had escaped earlier.

Two ways. You can either use a stitch marker or you can count your stitches as you go (in all fairness, this does take a bit of trial and error to get good at). If you go over, just pull those stitches out. Not a big deal.

Prioritization of carceral spending in U.S. cities
(writing this comment myself by hand)

In case you click through, what I want you to focus on in the transcript is that it came up with the two additional analogies at the end at my request, but I absolutely didn't suggest or introduce what they are specifically and I had no idea what it would come up with. You can't know this, but it's my experience.

Understanding and coming up with analogies is a gold standard of general intelligence, and it also understood my request, which was of a highly generic nature.

You might argue that it could have picked better analogies but I gave it pretty strict requirements to focus on technology companies. At this point we are arguing about whether airplanes really fly like birds, or whether submarines really swim. It's irrelevant. ChatGPT gets from point A to point B which is the point. It's some form of AGI. Just make it a generic request if you don't believe me, ask it to something generic that has never been done before and it'll do a great job at it. Go ahead and see for yourself.

I'm as much of a transportation alternatives fan as anyone, but when I got to the "Cars vs Public Transit" I just rolled my eyes a bit. Modern ebikes cost a few thousand dollars, and are so absurdly cheaper than cars, they pay for themselves within a single year.

Average Annual Cost of Car Ownership:

$9,282: https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/average-annual-cost-...

$5,264: https://www.move.org/average-cost-owning-a-car/#data

$11,756 the first year, $7517 the fifth year, $5914 the tenth year: https://www.caranddriver.com/research/a31267529/cost-of-car-...

Cost of a top-of-the line cargo bike:

$6,499.00 (Dual battery, 1,000Wh), Bosch dual-battery system (500/1000 Wh) for a range of up to 206 km (128 mi): https://www.ternbicycles.com/us/bikes/472/gsd-s10-lx

If you live within 20m of where you work, and cargo-centric ebike will suffice (or farther if you can charge it at work). You can take kids to school on one, you can go grocery shopping on one, you effectively do every single trip in a modern city.

For the few things you can't do, the occasional cost of short term car rentals are drops in a bucket.

The point I'm trying to make is this. Yes, public transit is important, yes we need to make our cities interconnected with trains. However, if we want to create a functional system for transit alternatives... we can do it literally today, by creating network of low-car/car-free streets for ebike traffic.
