It will be interesting to see when this inevitably does affect political mobilization, or even just voting. There's a decent chance that we'll see some of this before the end of the year (and very possibly on Election Day).

What is the functional difference between a melt up and recovering? Don't they both imply an increase in asset prices with different reasonings? What would indicate one versus the other?

I think this type of "stress testing" of destroyed or modified signage would be an obvious direction for AV development once the basics are down. With HD mapping and other technology used to augment what is gathered by their senso

It does have some potential to act as a hedge against USD. It will probably produce some small amount of capital gains (or losses) for its users.

My understanding is that they are limiting the relationship between Facebook as a corporate entity and Libra, at least on paper. Whether regulators treat it this way is another matter. But FB must be spending a lot on lobbying, and that sho

This is the main reason Netflix is included in the group, I think.

Is there anything specific in Prop C to financial services companies? I thought the only criteria was making over $50M in revenue, and GMV would not be relevant to the calculation.

Not to tread too much into political territory, but if Warren or Sanders is the next US President I'd assume he will receive a full pardon.

For the average person, using Coinbase with 2FA is going to be better than managing their own private key. Even if their hot storage was penetrated, which is unlikely, they have insurance and other means of making sure that customer deposit

Why does it even matter how much they allocated? If I allocate $10 to pay my rent, that doesn't mean my rent check will need to be adjusted. They need to allocate more, and if it puts them into bankruptcy (it won't), there are leg

Swift, Flutter, React, pretty much any development framework is also great at efficiently producing shovelware. That is to say, a platform for efficiently making things is going to be used to produce a lot of crap, as a rule.

Is there any public research or data regarding the value or predicted delta value of long tail "average person" driving data of this kind versus the kind of data captured by driving around the same small portions of SF or MV? I&#x

The only fires that SpaceX needs to address are the actual ones, like at the launchpad explosion a couple months back.

Shouldn't it be possible to train for these scenarios using imitation learning and expert demonstrations? For example, Tesla seems to save replays of when its vehicles would have behaved significantly differently compared to how the dr

I believe that censorship resistance is a key value proposition for decentralized file storage. So its agnostic handling of illegal content is a feature, not a bug.

The five year clock starts when you early exercise and file an 83b with a vesting schedule, or would the clock start only once the stock has vested? I think it's the former, when you early exercise, but the language seems a bit confusi

With the exception of tourists around Times Square, there are large areas of Manhattan that are the same way. Kids are sometimes seen but not too often.

"But since Libra pegged is to a basket of currencies, it is not actually stable." A weighted basket of the top 5 currencies by market capitalization should be more stable than the dollar. The point about taxable income is true, al

I would guess from my own experience as a frequent ride hailing passenger that Lyft/Uber drivers are less of a threat to cyclist safety on average than regular drivers.

Unfortunately there is a good reason to believe that organizations like NYT could be targets. This should not be compared to, say, the Patriot Act.

Just because everyone gets the same model doesn't mean you can't have targeted ads. It just means the prediction model isn't modeled specific to your behavior. It can still make personalized predictions based on your search i
