Most EA adherents focus on process not outcomes. So from an EA position, the fraud outcome doesn’t matter. Imagine if SBF gambles paid off they might say, and that potential outcome must be probablistically weighed against the negative outc

It is a buzzword now. Originally it meant a decentralized p2p app stack. For instance IPFS for file delivery, EVM for computation, and Greenfield for database operations. In this view bittorent would be an early example of a web3 applicatio

Almost everyone I knew who was homeschooled had no noticeable social problems. Most had successful careers and marriages. Of course the fact that I knew them meant their parents were allowing them into a variety of social situations.

You should consider fleek.xyz private gateway instead, you wouldn’t be violating tos, fleek use filecoin, and the sdk is more reliable. But it’s in alpha so you’ll need to request access on their discord. I’m a customer myself.

Remember when reviewing the impacts of a new policy, they are always at the margin. So the appropriate situation to imagine for your bookstore is one where the benefits of land in the core are slightly greater than benefits from land in the

First order effects are usually stronger than second order effects. Imagine you are considering to start a small manufactory, say for artisanal socks. You can purchase land anywhere, since the bank will lend to you at a cheap rate backed by

Whenever something is taxed, less of it is produced. In the case of LVT, the tax is on land that is in a desirable location with lots of nearby amenities. LVT encourages urban sprawl by punishing retail, industrial, and residential concerns

At least at the firms I’ve worked with, new records were digitized and old files were undergoing digitization. Maybe it’s different in your country? There’s always some process a firm must use to make digital records available to an auditor

The position is visible to regulators via code - if the code is fraudulent or buggy, the regulators will believe false information.

Here’s a link debunking the tulip mania myth [1]. Put shortly, the myth was created as a moral campaign against speculators. Interestingly, one of the propagators of the myth was complicit in pumping the rail bubble, which did far more econ

Inflation as long as it’s predictable doesn’t really matter, since the future cash flows just get bigger with more inflation. However real interest rates do affect the discount rate; higher interest rates relative to inflation discourage in

It’s good to see Cloudlfare finally admit that they have been blocking human users. I’m one of the people that gets the infinite reloading cycle that Cloudflare claimed can’t happen in previous hacker news threads. In this post they finally

In order to maximize cash flows, Tether has an incentive to grow the wider crypto ecosystem. Matt Levine wrote an excellent explanation in one of his recent “Money Matters” newsletters. After the BUSD debacle, it’s clear that onshore and re

Right now? Short term t bill holders. They rollover so fast that interest rate hikes don’t affect the principle, since you just wait for them to expire then immediately grab the new higher interest rate. Tether (issues usdt) is winning big

How does agile fit into TDD? Thinking about it while writing this, perhaps the answer is to write a set of specifications that are deliverable within a 2 week period, write tests based on those specs, then deliver the code to meet those tes

I’m somewhat conflicted on principled TDD. Often when writing code I find issues with the specifications, sometimes serious enough that interfaces need to be redesigned. Or even more often, problems that were assumed to be simple turn out t

Some accidental Americans may not even have known they owe capital gains tax. Not every jurisdiction taxes capital gains, and many have differing rules. It can be quite shocking to get a tax bill from a place you’ve never lived!

If the problem is version control, why not use git? It’s also easy to fork, and it’s much cheaper than a blockchain.

If it’s interesting to you, his public advocacy on his blog for L2 goes back to 2017[1] where he dismisses block size scaling as a centralizing risk. Of course now that we have ofac geth, liquid and cex staking; Parlia Consensus and other c

In 2022 alone, central banks purchased 1,136 tons of gold[1]. The us government holds over $500b in gold[2]. Gold is still valuable as a reserve asset because it’s highly liquid, demanded by every economy, and has low inflation. Central ban
