Alternatively, the real problem is that they are in the entertainment business more than the news business. On a good day, news is boring. Instead, on cable networks, everything is a panic. Cable news has ended up on the extreme end of sens

That sounds pretty bleak, honestly. While you can disagree with Youtube and its policies, the idea of open free speech should appear, at first blush, more important than strict protections against libel or hate speech.

As far as I know, Mandarin doesn't have multiple pronunciations for the same character-- does Cantonese? Aside of that, you could use ligatures for that, couldn't you?

FWIW, I think the size of the insolvency is more telling of the failure than the AUM. E.g. First Republic was about ~$13B in the hole when it was taken over. Otherwise a large bank with a large hole looks way worse than a small bank with a

I'm not convinced we shouldn't have (originally) adopted using pure hex, e.g. 0x7F000001 instead of 127.0.0.1. Personally, I think it makes subnet masks, etc, a lot _more_ obvious.

The Securities Act and the Exchange Act give the SEC broad latitude in regulating securities. The fundamental question is: is Bitcoin a security? The situation now is a bit like if the SEC tomorrow said Harry Potter books were securities, w

Yes, it’s very bad, as if you’re a US company, how do you comply if one government agency tells you one thing, and another tells you the opposite. Rule of law fundamentally requires a shared understanding of the law.

I would argue that prescriptivism in English still refers solely to English. The idea that since data is plural in Latin, it must also be plural in English doesn't follow for me. Plenty of words change plurality when being taken into

Which is really a product of higher checked bag fees so now overhead is at a premium and often runs out, hence why getting on early is so important to people.

Marketing aside, power-law of costs is fairly common. If a good guitar runs you $300 and a professional guitar runs you $1500, a custom guitar for $40K is still only going to be marginally better.

Also even in that prompt, “please include at least 5 examples… with quotes” is just asking ChatGPT to hallucinate (since it can’t properly answer otherwise). And then the reference to “American law professors” narrowed the field. I don’t

There is an advantage on the high-end which is a) safer, b) higher functionality, and c) better customer service. The philosophy many follow is buy the cheap one of something, and once it breaks (from extensive usage), replace it with the h

Theoretically isn’t the 2% target based on the BLS numbers for inflation? Thus, if we wanted to compare, the “Truflation target” might be more like 1% then? It’s weird to change the method but keep the arbitrary target.

I mostly agree with the first addendum, though one could imagine an impatient patron at a hotel mashing the "door close" button to the chagrin of say an elderly person walking towards the elevator.

The bank doesn’t need to perform those functions like debit and credit cards in this set-up. Transfer funds to a private bank for that. The public bank is just to secure deposits.

For context, at 1.2 mSv (120 millirem), it puts it about the same as the normal annual radiation number for the public (1.0 mSv) and less than a head CT scan (2.0 mSv). Direct risk of cancer or radiation poisoning in the comic is listed sta
