Let me guess, the article doesn't even mention those connections?

So an entertainment piece, as mentioned? I can't see the article because of the login, but what does the piece achieve? Does the interview ask Sam hard questions?

Not really. Perhaps slightly in how 'rude' you let people be, but none of that is censoring ideas or thoughts. This comes down to the moderator I guess, an assumption is that they know how to distinguish the two.

There is a major difference between censorship and moderation though that is frequently conflated. Censorship is blocking/removing speech as judged by its content . Moderation is warning/removing participants based on their beha

I'm sure the article means attempted outflows from Exchanges. They have a funny knack of pausing outflows in times like these because of system issues, aside the outflows through the also coincidental hacks.

What a lovely democratic process it is, candidates weighing up which industry interest has done the best job at wooing them. SBF is another reminder of how far down the list of priorities integrity actually sits (not that he succeeded here

I'm sure there are many piles of ready lobby cash that will happily build new relationships in no time at all

Unfortunately I don't see how that would stop big industries just turning up on day two with their lobbying for the outcomes they want, and we end up in a very similar world anyway.

Because execs don't do all the hiring. Middle management and project teams go wild when no one is looking too closely at the costs and things can blow out pretty quickly. Then growth slows and suddenly there's a need to tighten t

High inflation and higher interest rates are probably going to lower demand somewhat too, I don't think the layoffs have peaked just yet either.

That's exactly the same for crypto too though, all the warning signs are constantly there.

You should probably read up on FTX a bit and which pies it has its fingers in then.

How are you evaluating which tokens are legitimate here?

by headsoup 4y ago
What I don't get (well I do, lobbying and inside deals), is why these guys have run so long (especially Tether). Just because crypto is a 'decentralised' wild west opposed to government shouldn't mean they sit outside o

Lol, a 'hack.' An unfortunately extremely convenient one that I'll almost guarantee specifically took customer funds, you know, after the bros already took their first cut.

The vice-versa bit seems quite tricky at times, especially times like this.

Doesn't Tether(Bitfinex) just stop allowing redemptions for a while when this happens?

But they're still aware of what happens around them (mostly...). Putting on the VR headset removes that.

The problem really is, how do you prevent the coercion and abuse?

I think that's a different scenario. Games are escapism, what Mark Z is proposing is another 'real' world through your goggles where others demand and control your attention. I don't think people want that tax. I think

I think the fundamental problem they'll face is that VR won't be accepted beyond temporary engagement. You just can't expect people to exist in a virtual environment and ignore their actual physical reality for any length of

That's a big assumption at this point.

I think maybe FTX just doesn't have the money and their bluff was called

You're moving the goalposts a bit there

I don't think it can, because all those serious things already exist and require the kinds of governance that the crypto promise rails against.

Wouldn't layoffs starting at larger tech companies imply demand is waning and there would be a much smaller market for all of these new startups?

Artists most certainly do care once they have the finances and value to fight/protect it. Not all of them of course, but there's a difference between heavy inspiration and plagiarism, as per the music industry. I'd say the k

I think it's more like authors have not "licensed" people to use their works to make profit from, which is current law. The AI companies just use a 'non-profit' entity to collect the images to skirt around the law,
