True, I think the HN moderators have an anti-crypto mandate. Which is odd considering Coinbase was a YC unicorn. Besides AirBNB how many unicorns did YC finance throughout the years?

What you wrote is an invention. Code is law came from, let's say, "techno utopians" that really believed you can programatically organize this way. See the concept of DAO for example. So, code is law came from programmers tha

Same question to you: is there a written order from the President saying this? Is it public somewhere? If not, it's just PR.

Is there a written order from the President saying this. Is it public somewhere? If not, it's just PR.

by hellow0rldz 5y ago
No he did not. He gave a "direction". Which, legally, means almost nothing. > “Going forward, consistent with the President’s direction, this Department of Justice – in a change to its longstanding practice – will not seek comp

Oh, he is. But it's good PR to make positive statements while doing whatever you want.

You are downvoted but I can confirm the only time I was almost assaulted as a tourist was in the Paris metro. Then I came outside and it looked like a Mad Max scenario with somebody casually selling corn baked in a barrel fire.

The US can tax US corporations anyway it sees fit. What do other countries have to do with it? Read the subtitle: >The Biden administration wants other countries to back a minimum tax as part of its plan to raise the U.S. corporate tax r

by hellow0rldz 5y ago
Precisely. But instead of solving this problem inside US they want to re-engineer the whole globe. Most countries are mad about multinationals, most of them rich US multinationals. If the US would do a proper job of taxing their own corpora

Last I checked the US tax code does this already. If the US tax rate is higher you pay the difference!

Thank God the US is taking charge of the GLOBAL finances. What could go wrong!? This is ladder pulling. Who needs smaller countries competing on fiscal rates when all tech should be registered in Dellaware? Note how it's a small 15% to

Meh, aren't cross-Atlantic flights potentially re-routed through US soil? Isn't it common that flights to Canada need to make an emergency landing which conveniently allows US customs to filter passengers? Diverting planes seems s

It's not paranoia if you are right.

Not sure how this is a problem since I assumed most cloud providers severely control and throttle IO.

BitCoin mining is also a lottery. I could stumble on a good hash using my own CPU. But the odds are in favour of the farms with ASICs.

What I've read is that one has to distribute the portfolio across a risk spectrum. A big % to very low risk / low yield instruments (say, bonds), a medium % to blue chip stocks, a smaller % to more risky stocks, etc. So, following

You know... what I am curious, does this logic make sense? Why wouldn't a given % be allocated to lotto tickets?! Quite curious from a risk/reward portfolio formula.

Even assuming more Kotlin devs are coding gods (BIG if), the sheer number difference means you have where to pick good Java devs from. Plus... if Kotlin really is the new hotness and companies want it then mediocre devs can also learn it. S

Ooh, so it's not only about killing but overall suffering. Because they do kill the bugs but animals don't generally eat the whole plant, only part of it. The plant still survives.

by hellow0rldz 5y ago
But plants also suffer, right? Also, if individual numbers count we might as well raise buffalo.

It's Chinese space junk so clearly very terrible. Unlike Western space junk which would "most likely" fall in the ocean.

by hellow0rldz 5y ago
Well, considering there's tens of millions of space junk already I wonder which countries/institutions are currently not doing a good job at that?! NASA and US would be top of the list.

Notarization is nothing except Apple making sure they have visibility into the tail end of their ecosystem. Remember the days of Windows 95 when you could make an application, sell it to a person in your own town and nobody in the world kne

Dunno why, but IPFS seems such a kludge. Just share your static files in the distributed hash table and access those resources via their hash ID. Like... it's not much. This news is interesting as I wonder what happens if .crypto does

It's not that complicated but if you are too small you don't worry about it. If you are big (like this site here) you have lawyers so you also don't worry about it.

Apparently they aren't doing human experiments, it's only processes and such. So they can easily emulate the processes in-house too!
