Thank you for sharing :) Will probably impulse buy this in the next 24 hours. Also wow, this reminds me a lot of the key one.
The SEC are constantly stepping out of bounds and refuse to offer clear guidance on the security vs non-security issue. There is a pretty clear reason for this...they have long had a turf war with the CFTC, and if they admit something is not a security, that instrument is no longer within their jurisdiction. The SEC chairman has even publicly admitted that he doesn't think the CFTC needs to exist, and that the SEC should handle all fin regulation. A recent example of this was when they wanted regulatory authority over forex, so they banned any brokerage that handled securities from allowing forex trading as well.

The SEC has lost four out of the last five Supreme Court cases on cryptocurrency. They are out of their depth. Regulatory authority should be handed to the CFTC. They are more than competent enough to be able to clearly state when a cryptocurrency is acting as a security, and have shown that they are the more rational side in this turf war.

To be clear, the person I was replying to was all like "You _idiot_. Obviously the plaintext of the guy's password was in the possession of the attacker!", when the primary (if not the entire) _point_ of the article was to set up and answer the question "Well, what if it _wasn't_? Is it possible using default settings to brute-force a password?".
i run a small retail shop that sells digital goods for btc. i bought a book with btc two months ago. more convincingly, it's widely used for remittances and as a store of value in countries with debased currencies -- this is a powerful tool for ordinary citizens in countries like venezuela, argentina etc to discipline central banks who would otherwise steal their savings.

I don't think the SEC can do much here, honestly. It's like asking a cop "is this illegal?" For stuff like murder they can say yes. For complicated issues like picking up your kid on Feb 29 when your ex complains about custody agreements only defined for non-leap-years, "we'll arrest and charge you for it, but there's a 50% shot it gets thrown out of court."

There's enough wiggle room between what each crypto product does and the original intent of the law, that this is really asking for a court case to resolve the matter. Hopefully with something clearer than "Apply Howey to this."

The court may end up saying "purely mined currencies aren't securities as long as they don't have X capabilities, ICOs are securities, etc."[0] Which would be very helpful.

[0] I have no idea what they'd actually say, or if the example is reasonable.

Real estate fails the "common enterprise" and "... derived from the efforts of others" prongs of the Howey test. If you decided to package real estate investment into something like a REIT, well, then you have a security. But if you're a homeowner buying a house (even a second or third house you intend to rent out), that's not a security.
> ads in the core user interface in iOS

I have never seen any ads anywhere in iOS. I'm utterly confused by this comment?
OP here. I'll write a post longer than yours, haha. Same story. Lonely at home - married to a loving but non-friend-compatible wife. Showed up to my local running group, kept showing up.

"After running and talking to someone for hours, you are no longer strangers."

Long, phone free, distraction free, interruption free, no-pressure, no "ask", no "work-relationship" to preserve, you're both sweaty, spitting, farting, drinking, exhausted, but proud of yourself and the others who are kicking butt that moring as well... I imagine it's why soldiers bond so well - shared adversity.

If you're a lonely geek reading this, a running group is an easy formula for friends. I've lived in the same town for 17 years - joining the running group and meeting others made it feel like home instead of just the place that I lived. Random streets and neighbourhoods aren't just "over there" they're now "Bob lives there". Going out for a run and getting honked at, or driving around for errands and honking at friends is just good fun.

---

I don't usually journal, but this day was an adventure with friends, something I hadn't had since Grade 7 until 40+... Just an embellished story about a drive out to someone's house, a run down a country road and the animals that we saw on the way. Being included and having fun had been missing from my life for too long.

Dec 28, 2022 I met J at my friend K's house and went on a road-trip to meet other friends; to climb mountains, descend valleys, fight off wild dogs, scare cows, dodging killer (wheeled) beasts, and run with horses, ending with Irish cream whiskey around a bartop table.

For software developers, this likely will lead to even more micro-tracking of activities. Who doesn't love spending several hours each week making up wild estimates of how much time was spent in each of dozens of different categories? Now those will have to be broken down further into 'new' and 'maintenance' for most existing categories. For those who don't currently have to do any of this tracking, the taxes create quite the incentive for companies to start requiring it. Once the tracking starts, it end up creeping into more and more areas of smaller fidelity.

100%. The converse is true, too. Often, people that carry on working well beyond retirement age, are more happy and engaged than peers who retired. The key thing is having enough time to pursue your own interests and time with friends/family rather than employer owning all your time and energy. Also, if one has the health to work part-time into one's 80s, one doesn't then need huge savings or pension because by, say age 65 when you'd hope all mortgage was paid off, you can live on a half-time wage probably . All depends on maintaining your health though....
But is that true? If I were a gifted mimic, I couldn't go out and make a song called "Sad in Toronto", even if I was very clear about not actually being Drake?

> Fishing with overfishing and depletion of fish stock is an example of tragedy of the commons. Also it’s seen in BLM grazing lands when mismanaged by the BLM. It’s not a fiction.

I don't disagree, but I think the "tragedy of the commons" is overstated to imply that commons are always a failure (ultimately as propaganda for private-property-is-the-only-solution). I think, if you have a stable community using the resource that can take responsibility for it, it will manage it to avoid the tragedy. If no community can form (e.g. fishing in international waters) or one is prevented from forming (e.g. by some authority like the BLM asserting responsibility but failing to take it), that's when you'll get the tragedy.

A "building without an owner" is a case where I definitely could see a tragedy of the commons being avoided, so long as it has relatively stable set of tenants. It'd basically turn into a co-op.
> Opportunity is abound, you just have to take the appropriate actions to seize it.

It sounds more like you're saying "you just have to luck into having parents who understand this."

> Conversely, if you're born into a domestic culture that sets you up for (economic) failure, it's no one's job to intervene.

That's terribly cruel and not a way one should structure a just society. And, indeed, bringing the conversation around to the beginning: this is among the reasons we have a public education system in the first place, to attempt to minimize that inherent unfairness. Because sometimes (as you've now observed) parents are wrong, and we have a valid civic interest in a collective process to ameliorate that error and, in so doing, create a citizenry more prepared to inherit the burden of co-governing the country (and, eventually, governing it exclusively when their parents are retired and gone).

"What do we do when the parents are just plug-stupid and everyone knows it" is one of the oldest questions in centralized education, and we have multiple overlapping approaches to addressing it (including, of course, the right to pull a child out of school and shoulder the burden of educating them oneself, for good or ill).

Your comments regarding reservation life express an incredible ignorance of both the history of reservations and their modern-day structure, and I'm completely disinterested in further conversation with you on that topic. Suffice to say you just don't get it. It would be a useful avenue of study for you to reframe your overall attitude on the inherent virtue of the system you were born (lucked) into.
Those are different algorithms.

And much simpler, too; I don't think anyone would regard Spotify's Discover Weekly as artificial intelligence.
Three? I've had one person whose go to response was "I have a MBA" tell me that marketing is about finding the pain that you're going to build your product around who then said the product development team is cross functional - which is sometimes true but netherless doesn't change that it's not under the marketing department in any org unit charts. Just like how growth hacking teams are cross functional but are under the marketing department in org unit charts. They explained how product development works, not how marketing works. Which is why you'll never find what they said in any marketing books. You'll find them in product development books.

I've had you who has basically said twice I should be listening to other people while not bring anything to the table.

That would bring the count to two people. Only one person tried to explain anything. And the just kept saying the same stuff which I had earlier said was a valid point but disagreed with how they said it. Basically, they managed to be right while being wrong. So really the count is one. I would say the irony here is you not paying attention. Which is kind of why I suspect the two accounts are controlled by the same person.
I understand and thank you for the clarification.

My point was that societal productivity progress is ultimately not driven by factors such as “better lives” (satisfying primary needs). It is IMO not going matter if increasing productivity leads to “better lives” or not because that was never the primary driver in the first place.

So I wouldn’t be surprised if this march continues even if it in fact decreases our quality of life as is already happening.

What is a primary driver? Good question. I can think of multiple candidates, but power comes to mind. Given a choice we would all rather be financially independent rather than tied to a job. Why? Some of us like the status, others like the freedom, but we all enjoy the power to just say “nope, not going to do that”.

I think “nope” may be the most powerful driver of human progress.

Edit: I forgot to quote.

> it's not obvious that becoming another order of magnitude more productive will automatically lead to people having even better lives.

This was my point: no better lives, but an order of magnitude productivity will increase the power we (or a small group) will experience and ultimately that is a stronger drive.

Securities are legal and Coinbase is a licensed broker dealer which means they are allowed to sell securities if they are registered with the SEC. The SEC is saying that crypto is a security while simultaneously not allowing them to be registered as a security. So they are treating it like a security from an enforcement perspective, but not from a regulatory perspective. They can't have it both ways. It must either be a security, in which case the SEC can regulate it, and it can be legally sold by brokers, or it is not a security, in which case the SEC can fuck off because it isn't in their jurisdiction. They are trying to have it both ways, and that is clearly acting in bad faith.

> OP handwaves away issue of nuclear safety, incorrectly labelling it a straw man, and with it, the very real possibility of nuclear accidents. If there was a Chernobyl-scale nuclear accident in Germany, it would drastically shorten the lives of tens of millions of people, and it would make half the country uninhabitable.

IMO Solana's article is a maximalist position and I trust that no "nuclear-unsafe" argument would ever get through to him. It'd just be "agree to disagree.' Besides, there are great arguments that make the "nuclear is a silver bullet" argument of his bad if one exposes all of the nuances that went into the German decison - and that was my idea with the response.

That's what I get. If people are investing into crypto, would that make it securities? For example, if I exchange some EURO for some US Dollar in Europe to avoid the EURO devaluation am I investing? That's basically what you do with cryptocurrencies.

Your router is already a VLAN-capable switch—that's how it separates the WAN and LAN ports. It's a 7-port switch: by default it's configured as four LAN ports, one WAN port, and two ports are wired up to the SoC (https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt3200acm#switch_ports_for_...). Using OpenWRT you can reconfigure the VLANs to suit your needs.

Is BNPL available at a store in person?

Instacart is more expensive, but BNPL costs less money at the time of purchase than going to the store.

The BNPL for clothing and shoes likely isn't the same people that need it to pay for groceries. These services allow you to buy more trendy clothing now at the expense of saving and buying it later.

Is that "smart?" Absolutely not. But it uses the same logic as a lot of advertising: that you'll be missing out if you don't watch/buy something very soon.
Smaller VCs will wind down existing funds and be unable to raise another round, then those firms will close (“take a pause to reassess”). VC was a low-interest rate fueled bubble as by definition any yield is better than 0 or negative yields.

VC will obviously continue to exist but with fewer and better firms. More quality companies will be invested in.

If I was an associate at a VC firm I would jump ASAP to corporate strategy, investment banking, or whatever it is you are qualified for other than this.

I was thinking in terms of the consumer-facing experience, which was pretty slimy and definitely not one of the most straightforward nor honest-feeling experiences. I worked briefly at Radio Shack in the late 90s and part of the job was selling the first generation of digital cell phones. Our competition was phone kiosks in the mall and places like that. The whole experience was ripe for a focus on the consumer transaction as well as the consumer experience (example: visual voicemail).
It makes more sense for this to be adjudicated by the court systems rather than an individual in an agency like the SEC. That is too much power for the SEC after all and we really need those separations in the US -- it's literally the foundation of the US.

Anyway, the fault here is with the US congress (all of the so-called elected representatives) since they haven't drafted legislation to clear said uncertainties now in over 10+ years. Gary Gensler is doing his job, no matter how difficult it is at this time. Congress people yelling at Gensler for example is akin to a boss yelling at his employee for an outcome that was determined by the system the boss created.

When congress isn't aligned with people (whether to draft legislation for or against cryptocurrencies) one doesn't need to go so far to determine what that person's agenda actually is -- if it's not the people's agenda, it's wrong.

As far as I can tell, the law does not define it, and the IRS has provided no guidance.

It would certainly be consistent with the spirit of R&E to not classify maintenance and bug fixes as R&E, and it would definitely reduce the sting of this change for established companies. Startups would still be pretty screwed.

Solar over canals and reservoirs is a great idea, and the catchy name is floatovoltacis for floating installs on reservoirs. Solar roadways are an absolutely terrible idea.

I think that car placement is still mostly bad idea but it shouldn't be thrown out yet. As PV gets cheaper and cheaper, the financial impediment disappears and it starts to make a small bit of sense.

For a regular sedan, solar panels won't make a car completely autonomous, but one could fit at least 600W of cells, and if parked in the sun all day, that could generate 2-3kWh of power, which is 8-12 miles of range.

Plug in charging would still be needed, but that extra bit of power could be used for temperature control of the battery pack or interior too, while the car is sitting in extreme heat in Phoenix, or outside a garage in North Dakota.

I see you've been to several aviation museums, but if you're ever anywhere near Ohio, may I suggest the Air Force museum? There are so many aircraft there that one can't see anywhere else, like the only remaining XB-70.

Some other personal favourites:

* Molson, Washington - it's a preserved ghost town, somewhat like Bodie, California, but one can go inside nearly all of the structures, and there is an actual museum set up in the three-story former town school.

* Not sure this counts, because The Met isn't a niche museum overall, but their Egyptian wing is the only place I've been to where one can walk through two more or less complete ancient Egyptian structures without going to Egypt.
