I don't think so. My visceral reaction was: SMH, this is why I stick with Coke .

This is fascinating. I relate to everything you just talked about. Both in the way that I've treated artists, by liking/appreciating them way before they were popular and dropping them once they've achieved fame, and the way

ETH 2.0 hasn't been held off due to resistance to PoS. It's been held off because there's no ETH 2.0 to ship yet.

That's not how it works. Goldman is soliciting money from private clients to buy the distressed assets. They will receive a fee for this. Goldman is not putting their own capital at risk. The assets are likely coins or stablecoins at a

There is a really disturbing trend nowadays where people are casually advocating for violence. This is one of those examples. Violence is never okay.

I worry less about the future of the tech, and more about hack comedians generating entire sets based on other people's material.

I don't know if this constitutes "selling data", but the USPS allows you to run direct mail campaigns on routes and neighborhoods. The USPS provides moderately granular, aggregate data about the route/area, which you can

Can we start citing our sources for this? I've seen myriad comments on HN lately about stablecoins here citing zero sources and invoking arguments that may have been relevant in 2017, but not in 2022. This is really an injustice to any

Yes. Pure Alpha has 0 correlation to SPX. They've managed to sustain 18% returns on 18% volatility for a long time.

This is not true. Here's one example: perpetual swaps weren't a thing until Bitmex implemented them.

How do you reconcile this with the fact that most modern nations are facing population decline? All sigmoidal curves look exponential until it plateaus.

Before having us watch a 70-minute podcast, are there any particular examples that you'd like to point out?

How is this anything other than a slippery slope fallacy? Can you provide some examples of where the development of a rural, gravel road led to unstoppable, cancerous development?

Can you expand on that? I just can’t agree with this assertion. It seems like a projection to me. Take the Jongro logo, for instance. Here’s its origin: > It was developed and donated free of charge by the Environmental Design Research I

There's another way which you could see this, which is that the cost of maintaining backward compatibility for every prior piece of hardware only increases the surface area for vulnerabilities to emerge. Also, if security is your #1 pr

I have considered this and, in a former life, I likely would have agreed with you. To use another analogy: Apple builds a beautiful, big house with no locks. A very wealthy family moves in. They love their new house. Then some folks started

I think one of the underrated things that Apple has done is has been to de-stigmatize accessibility technologies and make the value of accessibility obvious to both the impaired and non-impaired.

I'm in the same boat as you. Purchase an Apple One subscription, it'll give you another 2TB. I'm hoping Apple offers higher tiers before I use that all up.

Any discussion of monopoly must demonstrate harm to the consumer . Breaking up companies for breaking ups sake is not the spirit of antitrust law. In this case, I can argue that Apple is protecting us from crappy companies. Tile sold its b

You have a point. Apple's use of the plus circle symbol violates its own Human Interface Guidelines at worst, contradicts itself at best. From the iOS Guidelines[0]: > If you create a button that looks like a common button that peop

As a counterpoint, I have a 2011 MBA that I still use from time to time. It doesn't have half a decade of updates but it does everything that it used to do, just fine. I primarily use it as my no-distraction writing device.

It's a shallow analysis, and I say this as a fan of Arnade's prior work. Cartoons and "cuteness" are symbols expanding one's palate of expression. LINE was the first messenger app to roll out stickers. Those sticker

Disaster preparedness is different from feeling threatened. Visiting Seoul rubs off differently than actually living there. For instance, seeing military men on the subway is nothing out of the ordinary to Koreans because military service i

They're not flipping a kill switch on these devices. They just won't be running the newest OS. I don't see how these two things (software updates and hardware longevity/recyclability) are at all related.

One of the things that I love about Seoul is the flexible zoning in residential areas that allows folks to use their space as a commercial entity. While having a coffee or barber shop next to a row of homes may seem weird for many folks in
