I hear what you're saying, but I would not state so confidently what prediction "is" and what concepts "are", in the human model.

I don't believe in market efficiency. The market is large and has plenty of participants with different strategies. There are people selling at the going price, and there are people who are not. The trading price is a good reference pr

Risk management? I believe a lot of my long positions are worth more than their current price, doesn't mean I'm going to spend all my money buying them up to that price. If I lock in a 20% gain today that's nice, but I might

I completely agree with you on avoided emissions. I think these should just not be counted. I just hope that going forward, people don't lump all carbon offsets into one bucket and say "they're all a scam". I feel like

I've looked into this area. I agree with the author that current sources of carbon offsets are poor and sketchy. However, that's not to say that people aren't working on more promising methods. Direct air capture and growing

Cool, thanks! I'll get search working at some point. It looks like simplenote doesn't have an API, but there's just a native copy button that'll copy both your notes and the reference sections, to your clipboard.

Construction, energy, food production, and citizen transportation, are huge sources of emissions that absolutely occur on local soil.

He has 7k followers as of now, and probably gained a large # of them because of this tweet (which is his most circulated tweet). It's not "his" Twitter mob.

I definitely agree with "letting go of the past". Notes and memories are important, but so is managing what you keep. Otherwise it becomse untenable. Anyway, I made a show HN today, but it's kind of relevant ( https:/&#x

It looks like a lot of people here are unhappy with this. I'll add a voice as someone who recently used Google Domains and had a pretty good experience.

I think if we're speaking honestly, we're only going to have so much patience for the author's blogposts. We're not going to upvote updates for 6, 12, 18, 24 months at a hypergrowth startup. So I do think it makes sense

My reading of it is that it's easiest to program if they just ask google maps the latlon of the country and use that. It's a lot more work to base it off the closest border.

I don't understand why this author is talking about bitcoin, when Moxie's article was about web3. I thought Moxie's article was more about what has happened with the ecosystem, versus what could happen.

If the carbon footprint is less, I can see a lot of Millenials and Gen-Z-ers wanting to. We are, I believe, "regular people" as much as you are.

For what it's worth, I've been using Papercups for my projects for a few months and it's been super easy. Love it.
