The obvious point is that anyone who wants to pay their taxes is going to be a "USD bagholder". Boomers generally don't save in USD. They save in USD denominated assets (like bitcoin). Interest rates being lower than inflatio

No reasonably informed person is talking about Tulips when they cite Tulip mania, they're talking about the speculative bubble around Tulips. To put it in a different context, when we talk about the global financial crisis of 2007, no

For me the most important part of this article is the comparison of how Bitcoin operates in the US vs other less powerful economies. Specifically how cryptocurrencies are primarily priced in dollars, the US has enough international power an

That's not right though, the more you have invested in crypto the more you're incentivized to try and boost the value of crypto. That's not the same thing as saying no manipulation occurs. In fact, manipulation is good for yo

This is actually less true than you think, unless you fire someone for something egregious (Pregnancy, joining a union), they only have a right to challenge whether it was fair if they've been at the company for 2 years. So up until 2

What I find particularly interesting about the ARM acquisition is that it was always hard to see how it was going to continue to grow. The industry is littered with IP companies that get squished by their big customers (see also: Imaginatio

During the same time that ARM went from 31 to a possible 66 (dependent on a quite absurd acquirer). Nvidia went from 15Bn to 600Bn.

Yeah this has been posted before, and the message is always the same: If you want to trade in ethereum, just remember that you're dealing with a technology created by psychopaths. The Dark Forest wasn't somewhere you went for a wa

This seems... odd to me. I don't understand the industry well, but if you're sugesting that YC benefits from having stakes in lots of competing companies that therefore co-operate, that's a cartel, not a monopoly. I do think

I suggest you read the article before being so ignorant and dismissive. At no point does the article suggest Tesla be taxed on revenue. What it accurately points out is that Tesla suspiciously makes a tonne of money but just not in the US i

I'm really interested in this subject. What with it being my job. I've thought about this a lot, and the fundamental problem for me is that you have RTLs, but these don't mean anything, they're a cruel joke on engineerin

It's a more general effect where conservatives will cut budgets and mismanage government services and then, having done that will turn around and go "See, look! I told you the public sector can't do this!". And in my opi

It's easy to overcomplicate this. Why work for someone who is an arsehole? Leave! Why are you worrying about good people not applying because of your bad glass door ratings? Do you actually want good peopel to be exposed to your arseho

Does this seem a little outdated to anyone else? Like, ImgTec haven't really existed as a top tier player for almost a decade, and AFAIK Apple doesn't license Ip cores from ARM, but the ISA itself. Also, I feel like this diagram i

I feel like a lot of this is just... bullshit. Yes, if a security guard literally decided to ignore every sound as the wind they would probably be useless - as long as their role is literally only fast response. Except they don't, and

I remember literally over 5 years ago hearing from someone at a big auto-manufacturer, and they just explained, they can't afford to have their cars known for killing people. They sell a shit tonne of cars, and if they start running pe

One thing that gave me hope recently is seeing Jack Monroe campaigning for the Vimes index. I wont try and word it as well as the man himself[1]: > “The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend

This is great, because it serves as a basis for what Apple can be forced to reduce their commission to. What Apple has said here is "The cost of the payment processing is 3% and the rest is our commission", which obviously opens t

I don't know what point you're trying to make. It's logically clear that you don't need unanimity in what the sensors are detecting to make a decision.

I think this article is basically making the argument that the energy cap failed because it didn't do something that no one reasonably expected it to do in the first place. The energy cap was put in place very simply to stop energy com

>Requiring multiple sensors means that all of your sensor systems need to notice a danger, and you need to be able to integrate that data properly, before you can react. This isn't true. The principle in general is that you want to

I'm not entirely sure what people are expecting from Vice here? A permanent embargo against Saudi Arabia? Enforced not by any nation states, but simply Vice Media. What's the standard that we're expecting them to adhere to he

I don't think the current stock price tells you that. You can make an argument that GME was undervalued relative to it's core performance metrics before this whole saga (revenue, eps, etc) but you don't strengthen that by poi

I would say it's pretty clear cut that this is abuse in a different way than ext4 because the blockchain has a format for how it stores various fields and you store data by putting different data in those fields. For example the fake a

Nvidia absolutely could come up with their own ARM-based solutions like Apple did. Guess where all the people who know how to do that work? Arm. If nothing else, Arm offers a great engineering team to accelerate Nvidia's plans and it a

Yes, this was the insanity, they waved through selling it to Softbank, but then cottoned on to how important it was once they realised it was going to be acquired by Nvidia. They shouldn't have let it sell in the first place, but atlea

The problem I see here is that there is no alternative to an algorithm. What do you expect Twitter to do? Twitter's users want to see the content that is most interesting to them, and to do that Twitter has to design algorithms to ac

It does make me chuckle the way this is reported. We answered this problem! Ok what's the answer "well about (0.143n)^n". I've figured out the value of Pi! It's about 3. Firstly, that's not an answer that'
