Well… I’m not expert on DeFi or anything but until the 20th century banks existed and didn’t have this right? But yes, there were runs on banks… but there are no runs on CDs right, and that’s a banking product also? Why not? Well, they’r

Richard Feynman wrote about something similar in “Surely you’re joking Mr. Feynman!” ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surely_You%27re_Joking,_Mr._... !) This appears to be most of the relevant except: http://

You might be interested in Lee Smolin’s book which explores this very hypothesis, among others and a generally fascinating review of how physics got where it is… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_of_the_Cosmos

That’s a little ironic since, in a real sense, Rails itself came as an afterthought, not a fully formed vision. DHH built Basecamp without a framework, and then refactored a lot and extracted the core of what he’d happened to build into a

I was about to mention what I heard many years ago about 1 mile in every 5 of US highways having to be straight, so that in emergencies it could be used as a runway, but I decided to google it first for a reference and it turns out it'

It is a bit redundant, but that's not the same thing as saying it's bad or author should have eliminated this redundancy. I think of this a bit like a Checksum, which is also a redundancy... it reduces cognitive load/likelih

It's a tiny bit pedantic, but the Coinbase offering today was not actually an IPO, I learned, but a DPO (Direct Public Offering). It was not a fundraising event for Coinbase, only a liquidity event for shareholders, and unlike an IPO

Not built in, and not remotely suggesting anyone use this, but as an experiment I did build this a few years ago as a toy/to play with a few ways it might look if we ever wanted something similar.... https://hex.pm/pa

I was super skeptical of/confused by this also, still am, but they appear to be referencing this research which, if anyone can find any evidence of independent replication, I would love to know about: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm

Curious how this differs from Lumen? I guess it’s not aiming for actual ability to target Lunatic with BEAM languages, but that seems like a disadvantage rather than an advantage, so curious what the advantages are? I guess focus on integr

Yeah, came here to say this also, my memory of the book is fuzzy but I have a copy somewhere and is where my mind went right away.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but a) current hypothesis is people with prior exposure to common-cold non-COVID-19 coronaviruses are by and large either asymptomatic or have milder symptoms than those without such exposure b) presumably

I think I agree with this sentiment with one caveat: (I didn't read their license in detail, but really for licenses like this which seems to be the broader topic) Today Timescale offers Timescale-as-a-service, so this allows them a ki
