Yeah, I'm in the same position. Once you "get" web dev it becomes kind of a grind. Like it's not that intellectually stimulating, but there's just a lot of work that needs to be done and you have to devote just enough brainpower to it that it becomes annoying. And then there's the fact that everyone is saying that AI is going to automate the shit out of us in a few years. It's got me feeling like I'm wasting my life.
American here, nope! It was a huge deal. An attempt to disrupt the peaceful transition of power. Not sure what other examples you think were on par but it was the kind of big deal where people went home sick to their stomachs for the day because I've never seen anything like it in my life. A desecration of something sacred.
The majority of the currently elected Congress supports this – it is part of the mandate for which they were elected.
I am good at Tetris 99. I've placed first many times.

After you place first it unlocks a level where you battle against only other users who have also placed first. I don't see any mention of this second level in the article (though admittedly I skimmed it), which makes me suspicious of whether they actually got their bot to place first. Obviously the next step would be to try it out on that harder level.

Also, more often than not, there are not 99 player characters who you are battling against. The field has always been filled out with other bots, generated by the game designers themselves. I don't think they would ban a bot player from the game.

Not the previous commenter, but I would recommend Hiding In Plain Sight, by Sarah Kendzior. It centers on Donald Trump, but covers in great detail what is publicly known about the seedy history of the people in his orbit, including Epstein, and it calls into question how the people in power in the political, business, and media worlds have left so many questions go unanswered.

> if Musk frees up a significant fraction of the budget?

Freeing up money is not actually that hard. Doing it in a constructive way is a lot more difficult. I could go in and completely defund roads, airports, social security, public schools, the courts, the military, and save a ton of money.

Then what. What's the big plan? What are we going to do with all this money that will give us a better ROI?

That money was paying for stuff. Some stuff runs smoothly we enough that we take it for granted. Is everything perfect? No, but I'd like to see a little more care when screwing around with important infrastructure and services.

This reminds me of people that join a legacy software project and start proposing that you do a completely rewrite of the system without really understanding why certain decisions were made. It's almost always a total disaster and then someone else needs to come up and clean up after them.

Money laundering, tax evasion, and alimony avoidance. Yes there is a demand for those I suppose...
There was zero real prospect of that occurring, especially with broad agreement across the aisle that Trump lost.

It was a protest that got out of hand. Those who committed violence deserved custodial sentences, but the rest who were mere trespassers never should have seen the inside of a jail cell.
Especially on the international stage. American "far-left" is totally different to say, European "far-left."

You do know that Trump admitted that the invasion was provoked by NATO?

There is ample precedent in Bernstein v. United States that it is, in fact, free speech, and none that ought to be revisited here.

AFAICT, there's a differentiation that should be made between the model and the mobile app. TFA, and I'm assuming the bill, too, AFAICT, don't differentiate. The model seems unequivocally speech. Whether a mobile app can be banned seems like a different question; from other reporting it seems like the mobile app is laden with lovely things like keyloggers, and there, I can see "national security" might withstand scrutiny.

If the Senator were actually concerned about American's data, he'd pass some privacy laws. But the GOP is all laissez-faire capitalists these days, and they would not want the government telling American companies that that can't sell American data for money.

A Billionaire's Biggest Regret
Still redacted?
Compared to the dollar over the past five years…

The dollar down vs itself by 20ish percent.

The median home price is up 30ish percent.

Oil is up 45ish percent.

Gold and the SP500 are each up 80ish percent.

Bitcoin is up 1000ish percent.

If you snooze through the day-by-day, season-by-season noise, the volatility of Bitcoin is a fun and relaxing rocket to ride. You just have to ignore all discussion focused on time frames of less than four years.
Ecuador mints their own centavo coins, but they are not legal tender outside of Ecuador. They've never released their own $1 coin into general circulation – their ubiquitous Sacagawea dollars are minted in the US.
You're also conflating two distinct concepts: "Bitcoin the currency" and "Bitcoin the payment network."

The currency itself can be used independently of its base-layer network, which is intentionally slow and costly (functioning primarily as a settlement layer). This separation is enabled by off-chain or layer 2 systems, such as the Lightning Network or custodial platforms. These solutions retain Bitcoin's monetary benefits - like a predictable money supply, off/on ramping through the base layer - while enabling fast, cheap transactions. The tradeoff is that you must trust an intermediary, but this mirrors the same compromise inherent to digital USD payment systems (Venmo, credit cards, PayPal, etc.).

In fact, USD lacks a true "base layer" altogether. The closest equivalent would be the Federal Reserve Bank’s ledger, but accounts there are restricted to large financial institutions, not individuals.
What about $MELANIA
No, it does not. Progress is positive. The word you are thinking of is change. Change can take you in any direction, even though the left also likes that word.
Why do you think the USD has so many orders of magnitude usage? Nobody missed the question, that was the point: for currencies, stability is what makes them useful. You don’t have an incentive to hoard dollars hoping they’ll go up in value, so you spend them and boost the economy. Other countries use dollars because they have the same benefit: I can write a contract with you saying what we’ll pay over the next year and be confident that neither of us is going to be widely inconvenienced by the kind of swings Bitcoin has.

Remember that guy who spent 100BTC on a pizza? It’s a funny story but that’s why nobody uses Bitcoin for normal transactions.
Facts help bolster an argument
>Of course, there are lots of companies trying to eliminate job positions because they think AI can do it. That won't work at all (and if it does, the result will no longer be competitive than companies that use AI to help their workers do better), so those companies will be ripe for disruption next year.

Could you please expand upon this? One of the visions I have of the mid-term future is that a company could be run entirely by a solo entrepreneur or a small executive team, with all the rest done by various AI agents. I would appreciate a good argument for why a company like that would necessarily be ripe for disruption.
100% this.

Food, medicine, transportation, education, and everything else at or near the bottom of Maslow's pyramid of needs still cannot be directly purchased with bitcoin.

The other punchline to the Bitcoin joke is that it's finite. In 120 years it will begin to evaporate from existence as more and more wallets are simply lost to time.

The Biden administration just had to make things easier for businesses after covid. They had a very easy job and couldn't even get that right.

Instead, The biggest oil pipeline in the US was shutdown on day one and increased regulations led to our current situation with inflation.

The democrats are also war mongers and want to have perpetual wars to line their pockets.

It's telling when there isn't one negative story about Biden/the democrats (especially when we found out they were colluding with big tech to suppress the speech of average citizens) in 4 years, and we immedialy get slop hit piece articles about Trump and Musk.
Actually, the point is that the normal rules _do_ apply, and the normal rules very much encourage the publication of the names and likenesses of civil servants.

I'm kind of surprised that no one has made the argument that there is something special about these individuals, the work they're doing, or the circumstances of their work. There are, after all, exceptions to the "normal rules." But the fact that no one is making this argument is, at the end of the day, quite telling.
The link I posted has a crime section. There were 5 separate shootings. A 16 year old boy was shot and killed and a 14 year old was shot and in critical condition. From a loss of life due to violence perspective, CHOP/CHAZ was worse.
Somewhat ironic to claim a "limited grasp of morality" and a lack of education when the instutions doing said education have been preaching moral relativism for a while now.

Yes, but - if you want to review your arguments, it might be still useful.

Maybe not legal - but effective it could be. As a recent example, Syria changed the people at power disregarding laws - cops and courts weren't enough to prevent it.
BTC cash has lower fees I believe, I wonder if it could actually work as a currency for day to day payments.

don't forget that when you use fiat you are also charged inflation, and your economic activity is kept inside their zoo for all kinds of benefits to the zoo keepers beside inflation.

this should all be added to that 3% card fees.
I'm not arguing that deflation leads to economic success. I'm arguing the evidence that it is bad is nonexistent. Although it has some interesting interactions with the tax system and government policies.

If you go through the arguments, inflation/deflation are both mostly neutral because people just adjust their expectations by whatever they think the rate will be. In practice though inflation policy is typically masking money printing projects or policies that destroy wealth. And by reversing that, deflation is usually positive but only because it suggests that the political leadership at the time was interested in honest market signals rather than seizing an opportunity to conduct handouts.

> 'prices dropping' often includes labor as well, since currency is primarily a medium of exchange.

Inflation or deflation, by definition, doesn't impact how much someone can buy in real terms. Because wages and goods are theoretically changing at the same rate.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say they minted US$1 coins, just coins whose value is denominated in dollars. I think the biggest one is US$0.25?

US dollars are also not legal tender outside the US, with a few exceptions (I think including both El Salvador and Ecuador.)

It is so deeply painful to witness in my lifetime how our nation's law makers have openly become so profoundly morally and intellectually bankrupt.
This wasn't a vendetta or a political maneuver. The IMF is intending to enforce stability on loan recipients but insisting on sensible policy. Per the article, the program was already unsuccessful and they wanted it removed as a risk factor.
Being granted a loan of $1.4B with favourable terms under the extended fund facility is an enormous privilege. El Salvador is certainly getting far more favourable terms than would for their USD-denominated bonds. Putting it another way, El Salvador being given a line of credit that would have cost them hundreds of millions of dollars had they sold bonds to raise this cash through traditional means.

It's funny to have to explain basic government loan mechanics to this comment, given the derisive comment about "crypto people" needing basic financial concepts explained.
That's precisely the attitude that is the problem. That there's some special category of decisions which are the real decisions. Which is why it's an uncategorical statement.
The writing was on the wall way back in 2022. The launch was a dud. People were more likely to use the national wallets for stable-dollar coins then Bitcoin.

Correct punctuation marks, you mean?

Humans use them too, you know. I've used the em dash (—) and opening/closing single quote characters (‘’) ever since I read Butterick's Practical Typography.
Balance? Which mainstream social networks are right wing?
They should also declassify who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
This is pretty much my investment thesis for the foreseeable future.
Arguably, both preconditions could have been simply intended to secure an eventual return on the loan. Having a communist in political leadership and allowing citizens to pay their taxes in Bitcoin both increase fiscal risk. I can understand the IMF wanting to reduce that risk as much as possible before providing a loan.
My understanding based on their use of "technology similar to ours" is that this is exactly what they're doing:

>If an extraterrestrial civilization existed with technology similar to ours, would they be able to detect Earth and evidence of humanity? If so, what signals would they detect, and from how far away?
This is a great project. Phil Salvador and Travis Brown, who were working on this, and founder Frank Cifaldi, are all great people. They have a podcast, the Video Game History Hour, where they discuss topics related to video game preservation (recently back after a roughly year long hiatus), if you want to here the people who work there talk about what they do and some of the challenges they face. This has been a long time coming, and the work they did with Cyan on the Myst collection in particular is nothing short of incredible. They had access to basically everything, and it was a huge effort to digitize all of the documents and VHS recordings to (hopefully) archive them long-term. This website is freely accessible, but the VGHF is a non-profit, so kick them a donation if you can and want to see more work like this!

You could write this sentence about the current President. And yet, he was elected. So much of the EOs and bills passed recently are utterly absurd — and while that perhaps stops some of them, it has far from stopped all of them.

Stop giving the GOP a free pass because it is "ridiculous". The Overton window of "ridiculous bills" is moving at a breakneck pace as it is. These people ought to be leaders. Hold them to account. Unelect them, ideally, though clearly my fellow Americans do not agree with me on that point.
“A world of fetishised objects populated by weird obsessives.” Well, haven’t read a better description of our current era. And the people are now objects to be fetishised too.
I'm glad you've done both and are here to weigh in! Perhaps you should join the cause as you are presumably a subject matter expert in both things?
Depending on what remains, it may be possible to unblind the redacted names by considering the sum total of evidence. For example, these 10 people in the room all would have given testimony, but we only have nine statements with attached names. Who could this 10th unnamed persona be? Far easier to just keep the entire thing redacted.
I'm not sure that being "problematic" was the issue here; it sounds more like they might have thought he wasn't fully sane. I could imagine thinking that someone fully believed what they said about their identity in the same way they believed that they could have stopped 9/11 if people had listened to them beforehand. The issue isn't thinking they have bad takes or unsavory opinions, but that they have trouble distinguishing reality from delusions.
Right. So treason is fine as long as you are fucking clown about it?
I'm still not sure what the benefits of tokenising this is. Surely old school contracts and legal agreements are enough.

As said before in another comment. The project can likely make use of 'free' EuroHPC resources, which will also be funded simultaneously with hundreds of millions. Still not Stargate, but if they can actually innovate something beyond the obvious (like R1) I think the money is still useful.

Housing crisis, banks failing.
Outside of it being a "thing that happened in a govt building", the goal of Jan. 6th was to prevent the certification of the election, have the results be declared invalid and for Trump to declare himself president instead of Biden.

The fact that this failed doesn't really mean that the underlying intention was just "protesting".
