Even Aave itself has better rates -- the figure the author is quoting is from the the platform's option to lock in a fixed rate for your loan. Currently you can lock in 12.24% [1], but you can also borrow at the variable rate, starting

Just an arbitrary constraint in the analog, corresponding to how continued water drawing can kill off aquifers.

Well ... in order to carry this over to ordinary real property, and make the situation analogous to water rights, you'd have to tweak a few things. Imagine that, if you didn't allow randos to walk through a plot of land, then, e

Not really, SBF was caught in a lot of hype himself -- he was trying to get included on the Twitter deal as well, and the FTX balance sheet showed $43 million of TWTR stock near the acquisition, though Musk claims the offer was rejected. h

That's called IIRC an "unconditional" solution (in that later weighings don't depend on earlier weighings). David MacKay poses that a problem in his Information theory book on p. 85, and gives the solution on the next pa

Right I figured it would have to get authorized by the buyer group. (But on that note … why?? If Musk thought he was overpaying, to the point he even tried to back out, wouldn’t you want as many suckers as possible to remain shareholders?

Weren't there also people who owned TWTR stock and were able to retain those shares in the bought-out Twitter (thus declining the $54.20/share buyout price)?

Right, you’re continuing with the assumption that the hoarding problem was noticeably different between the two worlds. But any one hoarder can cancel out the restraint of 10,000 people. The scaling doesn’t work in your favor there. What yo

Do you have evidence that the earlier advice wasn’t responsible for mask reluctance later? Because when you tell people masks are ineffective, that’s a very very hard bell to unring, and indeed, many mask rejecters were citing those very sa

But they weren’t advising the public not to wear masks based on genuine skepticism, but on a confused belief that it would have the narrow effect of relieving the supply crunch, with no long term effect on mask compliance in the future, eve

Correct, we don’t know if masks work … in the same sense that we “don’t know” if parachutes work[1]. That is, we don’t (and can’t) do the level of randomized controlled trials that would precisely mimic real-world application. Nevertheless,

Great, but not relevant to this story. HN is a worse place when commenters use tangentially-related discussions as thin pretenses to spam their pre-written manifestos. Please stop. And everyone else, please stop encouraging this.
