If you haven’t checked out AXI as an alternative to MCP I recommend checking it out. I’ve started wrapping almost every cli or MCP in an AXI bin as it’s more reliable and uses fewer tokens.

It’s conceivable FB could develop something like Minds where a platform-specific cryptocurrency (ie Libra) is used to buy views.

Carbon taxes could help, but end-of-life taxes on the producer would be more effective at actually driving change. The consumer doesn't have the decision making power to choose lower-impact materials in products or packaging they buy,

This is a really good point actually, insurance firms are already licensed and regulated. You could effectively implement a wealth tax simply through added taxes on insurance policies.

This only applies if it’s anti-competitive, meaning if the intent is to undercut and harm a competing business. Funded startups routinely operate at losses, the point is that for many business models it isn’t possible to operate profitably

Open source projects at large need to move to decentralized, censor-resistant Git hosting. Some interesting projects in this area to watch are Ellcrys and Gitchain.

I take real issue with the unemployment rate claim. The federal U-3 rate is a politicized number that has over time been reduced to an incredibly narrow definition. U-6 is much better because it includes discouraged workers who have given u

I'm not a Yang supporter but this article is total garbage. Slate has been very disappointing lately. The key takeaway seems to be while Yang says automation has displaced jobs there's a lack of academic consensus on the weight pl

If you're going to make the energy-usage argument you'll need to position it against a comparable alternative, not how far you can drive a Tesla. How much energy does the current financial industry use on a per transaction basis?

Upcoding is extremely common and almost never comes with any consequences. It's routine for staff at the hospital to add line items for things that never actually happened. I've personally seen procedure codes for neuropsychologic

That appears to be one exchanges policy, not law. There may be a law I'm unaware of but in any case this wouldn't come into play using something like LocalBitcoins. Exchanges need to do this in order to conduct transactions with b

Of course they have money, just not a lot of it. They use cash and mobile credits, both of which have drawbacks like value fluctuation and the inability to accumulate savings. There's a good argument to be made that these populations s

Cryptocurrency exchanges do fall under KYC in the US and only if you want to do certain things, like purchases over a certain volume or fiat withdraws. There's no reason someone in India, for example, would need to go through a KYC p

Reading through the criticisms my main takeaway is that (1) there's a severe lack of empathy for the segment of the world that doesn't have the luxury of a stable currency and developed financial infrastructure, and (2) there&#x27

I've come to the conclusion that advertising is the only viable monetization model for most content businesses. This is not a new phenomenon, this is the same reason advertising is dominated television (even paid cable channels), print

I've hired dozens of developers and I do use take home assignments but primarily to weed out obviously unqualified candidates. My objective is to keep good developers interested through the entire process but arrive at a "no"

I just took my MacBook Pro in for butterfly keyboard issues and was quoted 5-7 business days, and I have coverage under Apple Care. I haven't taken it in yet because I mostly use an external keyboard and that would be extremely disrupt

Yeah definitely not how I would talk to the employee, but it's extremely frustrating that they don't get it. As a business owner you can literally be losing money on a deal and have the employee assigned to it tell you they want m

I'm a business owner, and I've had disputes with employees based on our gross collections vs. the employees pay MANY times, the reality is this: Your value in what you do is based on what the market is willing to pay you. It'

How could you possible draw any kind of line in the sand on how closely the advertising needs to be to the product being advertised? I don't think that's possible. For something tangible, like an iPhone, sure. Show the product, ta

The Venn diagram of business models that lend well to VC and those that are possible to bootstrap has a pretty thin overlap. Generating cash early isn’t often possible with products that have an enormous market potential. It’s rare for an S

Pure FUD from someone who has no idea what he's talking about. Getting hung up on the market price over just the past year, by an economist no less, is just willful ignorance.

The "job" as a foundation of modern life is the result of the industrialized revolution and, while it served its purposed, is something we need to abandon as quickly as possible. Corporations don't have a monopoly on economic

DNS as well as registrar, which may be two different entities. You can either change the MX with the DNS host, or you can change the nameserver with the registrar.

Yeah I'm referring to an @gmail.com address. I'm pretty confident in Google's ability to secure that.

Is it more likely that your DNS host or domain registrar could be compromised or that Google might shut you out of your account? There's risks with either decision, personally I put more trust that my Google account will be there than

Yeah I completely agree this is something that needs consideration. I do have an email address with my own domain but for security reasons any accounts I create are tied to my gmail address. I've known too many people who have had pers
