I think it is relevant though if the original point was that grammar is a new thing to solidify class structures. I’m not saying that class structures and correct grammar aren’t relevant, I’ve been corrected by drunk humanity-studying Etoni

Any sources on poor grammar being a new thing? It's been taught in public/private schools in England for centuries, maybe even millennia.

It depends on if we do end up with only one party, or if banks end up running nodes too. I believe Visas blockchain projects require institutions to run nodes. If you are using USD-CBDC as a reserve currency for your country you'd sure

Yep! Hence why I imagine a review & like/dislike system wouldn't be an order of magnitude worse than their ML system but without having to pay millions in ML salaries, complicate the pipelines, and have a crazy number of micro

I'd say yes, I've had one at every company I've worked at for > 1 year, however they're much smaller than moving companies. I once had a 20% raise to get up to market value but < 10% for the rest of mine.

There are two active projects in research stages at the moment - without knowing internal politics, it's equally likely.

Just a note - I’m not sure how serious you are with this comment, but it’s nothing like how it’ll work (I’ve been keeping up with the CBDC literature and it might not even be a blockchain)

I’d be interested on the actual impact for business. I use Netflix to watch things I plan to watch or filter by genre. Would it be that much worse using a simple review system over an ML system? I don’t think so.

Tulip mania wasn't even that big a thing. Lasted a few weeks and consisted of a couple traders trying out new speculative financial instruments.

100%! For those of us who need to learn from practical examples through to generalized intuition maths can be really really hard to learn depending on the source. Wish I was one of those people who finds it easier to learn from abstract fir

Yes I understand how blockchains work. Having that extra layer allows for these projects so, as an end user, we should shift the focus on things like the costs of using an app rather than the implementation (except maybe for PoS v PoW for e

I've left the field of crypto/blockchain but worked on a few projects such as the Cardano blockchain. Now I'm focusing on effective altruism and food security. Anyway, I've been aware or involved with the crypto space si

Happy to see you’re taking this approach now Dang. It’s really killed a lot of threads and I hope conversations can now go up a level to the technical uses rather than generic ‘ponzi scheme’ claims.

The world bank isn't funding the Ukrainian Army no, but it's giving 3/4 of a Billion dollars for other costs. My point is that donations pale in comparison to these state actors and I don't believe that Ukraine will lose

No, this includes cash too. Look at the World Bank for one example.

by exdsq 5y ago
Is there any point of making these donations seeing so many billions are being sent by nation states? Is there a bottleneck where the Ukrainian Armed Forces need first aid kits but are unable to get them because of a lack of funds? I'v

That’s a good thing in it’s own way. Being a specialist can be lucrative and offer job security. I wish I could do that but I chase the shiny thing too much :)

To be honest I've turned down roles paying an extra $20k because the interview process is so drawn out. I'd have to be reaaaaally enticed to spend potentially days interviewing.

I kind of enjoy the puzzles. One time I was having a slow day at work and a recruiter called, I took a tech interview in the afternoon just to have some fun with the puzzles lol.

6-8 hours? That’s a whole working day. I’d have to seriously weigh that up against an extra £500 in my bank account or whatever… I’ll happily do an hour or two, something I can fit into a lunch break or evening. But, for me, that’s way too
