No evidence, just intuition.

People keep wanting to chalk this up to Russian incompetence. But I feel like a far more likely explanation is electronic sabotage. Planes are complex electronic, connected instruments. They rely heavily on computers and electronic sensors.

People pretty regularly say its useless in this sense as well. But even if it were true, as soon as you accept crypto is useful as money, DeFi smart contracts are pretty obviously useful as financial infrastructure on top of it.

Keep in mind Ukraine is a very poor country being attacked by a much larger, richer, and more powerful country. This would be more comparable to Mexico deputizing the cartels if the US decided to invade.

I don't entirely disagree but I think a slightly better framing is: It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility. Putin is a problem for the world, and it's a problem that can only be properly solved by the Russian pe

Unfortunately events like the ones we've just had are what's necessary to demonstrate to people that no, we actually do need technology like this. Cashless is going to happen. The convenience gain is too large for it not to. Crypt

So if I claim it is true that neural nets are not conscious, the burden of proof is now on that claim? The burden of proof is on the person making an assertion. The original claim was not an assertion, it was that they "may be slightly

There are plenty of countries with lower minimum wage laws than the US. Are you under the impression that their laborers are dying en masse?

Who said the business can't fully fund itself? If the worker isn't making enough to survive, they have no reason to take the job. So, the condition you're describing does not exist, at least not in such a simple form.

I've found this to be true personally. Pre-pandemic I used to go to the gym after work every night. I'd always go in feeling mentally exhausted, and leave feeling mentally refreshed and able to work on some of my side projects for

Huh, I had thought that you could use meat glue [1] to synthesize steak-like things from lower end chunks of meat pretty effectively, and sort of assumed that you could scale that up in a 3d printer type setup to achieve something resemblin

> I imagine making A5 graded meat in a bioreactor is beyond the state of the art. It might also have trouble in the marketplace. And from what I know those cattle live pretty nice lives until they’re slaughtered. Which, if done properly,

I understand it's a technical jump, but it seems like a more tractable one than substantially reducing the cost of scale production.

One thing I don't quite understand about this is why these cultivated meat companies don't start at the high end. Sure, it's true that commodity beef might be $4/lb, but a high end Wagyu steak is an order of magnitude or

Bullshit time that still ends in delivery of world changing products, pretty consistently. He can bullshit about timelines all he wants as long as he's delivering at this level eventually, as far as i'm concerned.

The alternative schemes he's referring to are batch auctions, which don't eliminate price-time priority per se. What they do is bucket time priority into discrete chunks, which eliminate a certain class of high frequency strategy

Did you know that coops are perfectly legal in the US? You can start a competitor to Amazon that is employee owned. If Bezos isn't adding any value, you should easily out-compete Amazon, given how loyal the employees will be.

Amazon pays its workers more than most other comparable jobs. Amazon's primary employment business is already not particularly profitable. Amazon is worth what it is because shareholders value it highly, not because it's extractin

The people who actually built the boat are Dutch. The decision to do it this way was obviously made by the firm building the boat, not Bezos.

I agree with that, except in cases where the number of brokers is small and monopolistic. That's not strictly true for platforms like gofundme, but it is true for payment processors, who are the real choke points in the ecosystem. My i

That would stop being true for P2P if exchanges started blocking tainted coins, though. If that happened at scale, then P2P users would have to start validating themselves before accepting them, which is a real privacy nightmare. Of course,

Or we could just have a politically neutral monetary system in the first place. Imagine that.
