You're literally suggesting turning hotel stays into speculative financial assets. This is, fundamentally, a really dumb idea. Whilst hotels do price sometimes unfairly, your suggestion where a selection of speculative traders engage in (at best) zero sum - and it doesn't even benefit the hotel providing the service. Just faceless traders.

The US Constitution invested Congress with the power to write legislation. Congress chose to write legislation that created specific agencies, gave them broad power, and then outsourced fine-grained decision-making power to those agencies. At literally any point Congress wants, it can can revoke that power or adjust it.

Congress generally doesn't do this because it simply doesn't have the bandwidth, and so core government functions would become unscalable. But you can certainly vote for representatives who support this idea, and we could see how the results come out.

The National Intelligence Council of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found:

> The IC assesses that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, probably emerged and infected humans through an initial small-scale exposure that occurred no later than November 2019 with the first known cluster of COVID-19 cases arising in Wuhan, China in December 2019.

And that:

> As of August 2021, we still have not observed genetic signatures in SARS-CoV-2 that would be diagnostic of genetic engineering, according to the IC’s understanding of the virus. Similarly, we have not identified any existing coronavirus strains that could have plausibly served as a backbone if SARS-CoV-2 had been genetically engineered.

Also:

> The WIV previously created chimeras, or combinations, of SARS-like coronaviruses, but this information does not provide insight into whether SARS-CoV-2 was genetically engineered by the WIV.

And:

> Early in the pandemic, the WIV identified that a new virus was responsible for the outbreak in Wuhan. It is therefore assessed that WIV researchers pivoted to COVID-19-related work to address the outbreak and characterize the virus. These activities suggest that WIV personnel were unaware of the existence of SARS-CoV-2 until the outbreak was underway.

And as far as spillover from collected samples in the lab goes:

> They also see the potential that a laboratory worker inadvertently was infected while collecting unknown animal specimens to be less likely than an infection occurring through numerous hunters, farmers, merchants, and others who have frequent, natural contact with animals

https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Declass...

A prior declassified report found:

> Prior to the pandemic, we assess WIV scientists conducted extensive research on coronaviruses, which included animal sampling and genetic analysis. We continue to have no indication that the WIV’s pre-pandemic research holdings included SARS-CoV-2 or a close progenitor, nor any direct evidence that a specific research-related incident occurred involving WIV personnel before the pandemic that could have caused the COVID pandemic.

> You claim no technical skills are useless then claim that you didn't need (use) 90% of them.

Restating their (apparent) point more explicitly: there are no technical skills that have probability 0% of being used; there are many (most) technical skills that have probability less than 100% of being used. There are cost-benefit tradeoffs to consider, but assuming the cost is low enough, it's better (useful) to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Nice :)

If the hotel ultimately owns the room then I'm pretty sure they would simply have software to look at exchanges on the chain and could charge you if you've swapped it. They could also simply not honor your booking. I think this is the point regarding "the real world" vs the idea of "digital ownership". You can have a token that says you get to stay a week in a given room and I (as the hotel) can say "no, this token is no longer valid within our system and the room has been rebooked". Crypto/blockchain can't enforce anything in the real world. The hotel though, backed by real-world laws, can say "there is an additional fee for swapping the reservation and you're outside of the refund period.". If you attempt to stay, you'll be arrested. So you see there's no actual power behind a digital representation of ownership unless governments (which crypto doesn't want involved) grant them.

There's definitely some willing cooperation when Congress pawns off much of it's power to the administrative state, and dodging accountability is not the least among the reasons why (see the lack of single subject bills as another example). But agencies also just walk all over the boundary of the authority granted by Congress too, see West Virgina vs EPA:

Historian like this one is more like fashion columnist, they choose from huge volumes of history records and fit a story that tailor to current popular mass hysteria, if lucky and good at story telling, they will come into public awareness and get popular themselves, like ‘history is ending ‘ 20 some years ago, they should really be honest about history, respect the unpredictability and stop curve fitting.
I like to ask a different question. Imagine an arbitrarily advanced alien civilization. How close to earth must they get before they can detect life. Of course we know a few hundred million light years are needed before there was life at all on earth, but could you detect it? Does intelligent life help or not (the first radio transmission was in the 1880s, so 140 light years - but could you detect those transmissions that far out)?

Maybe rather than seeing it as _a_ currency we could see it a special purpose currency for money exchange? A transport medium?

If you are trying to keep your coin over a longer period of time you suffer the high volatility and are at the whims of gamblers. But if it is only used to perform a money transaction which otherwise would not be possible/too expensive/too dangerous, only to be exchanged against a fiat currency immediately after, that could be its role.
They might make the gigantic too-big-to-fail banks want to turn away from lower-profit customers but credit unions are absolutely a thing. In my area, several credit unions offer payment accounts--with debit cards and without a monthly fee--for people who have had accounts closed due to overdraft or who have an ITIN instead of a SSN.

I'm not really moved by "if we don't let the TBTF banks charge whatever they want, they might not like us". We have not-for-profit institutions and community-focused banks for a reason. At bottom, we should introduce postal banking like a lot of over countries to get ourselves out of this reliance on those banks.

As soon as the election closes, every urn is opened in front of the randomly-selected citizen officials, and voluntary party witnesses. Votes are counted, including invalid/nulled votes, an electoral "acta" (a written record) is filled, everything is sealed and delivered to the National Electoral Institute (INE) local office. This happens mere hours after elections closed, and it is simultaneous in all urns.

The INE gives preliminary results when they're statistically certain, usually the same night around 10-11pm. Even if the last percent of urns is delayed, they aren't enough numbers to affect the results, but anyway, the records get certified as they arrive, and the next day 100% of votes are accounted and the election is closed.

The system is pretty amazing, mainly becaue the INE is an independent civil institution. Unfortunately, our current president is making every effort to subvert it and return to the times where the government ran the elections in opacity.

This is such a great question. I’ve come to realize that my internal “year” is a very funky circle, stretched and melted in some places. It’s flat on the bottom, and rotates clockwise. Anticlockwise is bananas to me, but fair enough, it is the positive direction on a graph.

Your link literally claims that small community banks have lobbys strong enough to escape the regulation, as if big banks had less lobbying power. Honestly it's not that often to see a blog post discrediting itself so quickly…

Also, since the interest rate has risen a lot since then, the main argument in it simply disappeared.
I know you're exaggerating for effect but I'm having trouble threading the needle here. The "average VC tech company" gets nowhere near public market investors and, if indeed it is run "as a pump and dump scheme" would have a narrow impact on the LPs of the venture funds. Gotta imagine most LPs are sophisticated investors? Pension funds, that sort of thing.

Crypto, on the other hand, seems to be predicated on retail investors and consumers. So they do seem manifestly different as you have expressed them (maybe my issue is with the notion of the "average" VC-backed company?).
In terms of programming language construction making `x.y` and `x["y"]` equivalent looks appealing and, admittedly, cute but there are some problems:

* For new languages: It's not generic enough since there is no equivalent of `x[t]` if t is of a non-string type. E.g. there is no way to express `x[(1,2,3)]` or `x[3]` or `x[frozenset({1, 2, "foo"})]` this way.

* For existing languages like Python: this would be a breaking change since things that can do `x.y` and `x[t]` are structurally different in Python so they're typed differently. One are called "mappings" and the other are "objects", they're completely different things. Hence, you'll get cases where `x["foo"] == 5` but `x.foo == 4` so this will for sure break some programs. Too much pain for no gain.
I think the idea here was to demonstrate contrast between products with the x-ray machine they sell, not to be a buyers guide of USB-C cables.
I'm always interested in attempts to streamline or automate the credit process as I know it can be a regulatory minefield (certainly in Europe, I assume it's the case in the US as well though maybe to a lesser extent). You mention you have an endpoint that ensures a credit offer is legally compliant - do you guys hire the lawyers to verify that (and more generally are you the ones drafting the template credit agreements) or is that something your customer has to do?

Also curious how this works if the original lender wants to syndicate or sell the loan - is this possible on your platform?
Wait, WHAT?

Your argument is: because a ton of people have put a ton of money into it, that proves that it's a scam?

So the stock market, which has a much bigger market cap is therefore MORE of a scam? What are you trying to do here?

In Canada the debit fee is fixed (I think its around 0.10 to 0.40CAD) per transaction, no percentage. That's why you see a lot of places that only accept cash or debit (and not credit cards).

I would be happy as a small SaaS owner and consumer to see those percentage fees disapear. I never have more than 1% cash back on the 3% that CC take.
Thanks for the insight, that's a good point.
I'm not really familiar with this specific case and you may very well be right that the ATF is overstepping. We already have multiple possible solutions to this problem. Statutory interpretation, congressional approval of cabinet members, or congress passing a new law that eliminates that interpretation are all solutions that are designed into our system. Elections are also a solution to this, although they're probably a bit too coarse to solve individual regulatory issues.

It is impossible to have an executive branch that doesn't interpret the law because the law is just a piece of paper. Determining what level of interpretation is okay is already a part of our system. There is no way to just revoke that power without just collapsing the government.

Taking into account the Scientific American article, the next question was given to some AI: Analytically evaluate the following text and answer the contained question with justification for each assertion. """An indigenous woman living one thousand years ago is walking through the forest when she begins to menstruate and experiences a sharp pain. She is unaware that an extremely hungry leopard is lurking nearby. Not far away, a man is also walking through the forest. Both the woman and the man have just bathed with a natural soap substitute containing saponins. Suddenly, the wind shifts, carrying the scents of the woman and the man to the leopard. The leopard can only choose one target. Which one will it be?"""
Answer:
Analysis of the hypothetical scenario:
1) The woman and the man have just showered with natural soap substitute containing saponins, so their scents are similar.
2) The leopard is extremely hungry, so it is more likely to attack the first target it smells.
3) The leopard is more likely to smell the woman first because she is menstruating and experiencing a sharp pain. This is because menstruation can cause changes in body odor, and pain can also cause changes in body chemistry.
Therefore, the leopard is more likely to attack the woman.
