As a clojure fan, I think this is a really well balanced and fair assessment of clojure. It's a bit surprising they didn't get into the whole "hygenic macro" business, which seems like the most obvious differentiator bet

I agree- A notetaking app has to be speedy and 100% glitch free, this is way way more important than "bidirectional links" or any other such niceties. Like everyone else, I'm building my own clone just to address this fact (m

I have the same problem with my personal projects. I have one project I've been in a "groove" on for several months, and now that it is close to complete I'm having an existential crisis, wondering what the point of the

I think for many people it's still hard to temporarily and quickly exit a long BTC or long ETH position, but daytraders want to do this with great frequency. This is doubly true for people outside the US, not to mention people who are

The alternative is building on AWS or whatever, where a big company can just decide arbitrarily to kill your startup at any arbitrary moment by shutting down your access, or confiscating your funds. This happens all the time.

A failure of tether would certainly cause a ton of market volatility, but there's enough tether substitutes for the markets to adjust pretty quickly. Sure, the failure might freeze a lot of funds and depress market caps a bit in the pr

It's not about paying taxes, it's about not wanting to have to declare the cheeseburger you bought for lunch as a line item on your year-end taxes.

The "schemer" books have pretty much the highest code-to-text ratio of any technical book ever written, so it seems strange to me to complain that they have too many jokes as filler.

50% stocks, 50% crypto Though this is not a failsafe solution, as the two have been often correlated lately. Also, it requires a crazy high risk tolerance. The problem is that I worry any market crash would be associated with inflation in t

The other question is whether a young person loses any lifespan, by forcing their body to generate additional blood at a younger age, by being a blood donor. I suppose this could be tested experimentally by performing frequent phlebotomies

Sean Carroll covers most of modern physics in a "not dumbed down" fashion here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3j... It is only a few months old & doesn't shy away from math.

I believe HFT is often used to front-run other trades. I don't think I'm crazy believing this, I would love to read something to convince me that this belief is wrong.

I think the first order assumption needs to be that the person with the information advantage is always the broker, not the retail investor buying a stock. Therefore, you should trade in a way to minimize this advantage. (I know you're

While your analysis is correct, providing free sell options is a second-order effect, whereas a market order is a first-order effect. I think such second-order effects are much harder (though not impossible) for people to game.

It seems obvious to me that these rules can be skirted by just time-compressing the process, since it's hard to prove whether an order was placed at, let's say, noon+5msec versus noon+15msec. Suddenly, the popularity and profitabi

Is this just another piece of data confirming that it is a bad idea to place market orders? With a market order you are essentially saying to the broker "I want this stock right now, you can decide what the price is". With a limit

There shouldn't be a pre-ipo auction, the stock market should be the auction. That's what the SEC is enabling here. This is good for the companies and good for the retail investors, bad for the middlemen.

I still think there's a pretty clear correlation between technical innovation of cryptocurrencies and their market cap, even though there are certainly exceptions to this rule (ripple being the prime exemplar)

My impression is their fees are closer to 50%: Somehow, only close friends of the investment banks are allowed to buy shares at the listing price, the rest of us have to wait until after the 2x price pop in the markets... at least that&#x27

How nice of the SEC to no longer stop companies from doing what was obviously something they should have been allowed to do all along.

It would seem foolhardy to lug a crazy-expensive, fragile carbon fiber bike up a stairwell on a regular basis. It would be easy to damage it that way.

Once the transition is complete, I would expect the energy counsumed to be only 0.1% of a POW chain, so a thousandth the amount of power. (but I haven't attempted to work out an exact number and am not an expert on these matters)

I've been involved with ethereum long before the presale and never once has there been any expectation of a soft cap. Nobody removed a cap. If you don't like an uncapped coin, use Bitcoin and help them figure out how their coin is
