I would like to point out what “makes sense” to people rarely reflects the underlying fluid dynamics at the relevant scales. Couple that with a poor understanding of just how many particles one infected person emits and it’s clear masks as

> What that means is that the prices of goods are inflated in the US compared to similar goods in the EU. That's all. Other way round. PPP is a consumptive measure.

No, AFAIK the fund sells shares to buy Bitcoin and sells Bitcoin to buy shares.

Nah the grift is that insurers are price-takers in a local area (if you want to provide insurance to businesses in Seattle, you need to cover e.g. cardiology in Seattle), so PE buys up all the cardiology practices in Seattle and charges mor

It’s way better than how the cartels do it. Feels like a win.

There’s gotta be a compelling government interest like health or safety, right? I don’t think “crypto is useless junk” will hold up to strict scrutiny.

Banks suffer breaches all the time. They’re insured. The community bank down the street probably does not have the greatest opsec.

Different counterparties. If I buy XRP from you, it’s absurd for me to believe Ripple will use the money I just gave you to improve the XRP ecosystem.

Typically it’s the influenza-related pneumonia that does the killing, not the flu.

Age-adjusted death rate in the US was about 4x worse than influenza and pneumonia. There’s a real argument the COVID response was disproportionate.

My city had none of those problems. COVID standard of care w.r.t. intubation was uniquely terrible. Disrupting the daily routines of elders in nursing homes is well-known to drive mortality.

For what it’s worth, the volume of device fraud Apple already deals with is insane.

Not really, it’s the power of solid product development. I don’t want to fuck around with setting up a desktop env inside VR. I’m 100% confident I’ll be able to walk into an Apple Store, buy a Vision Pro, go home, put it on, and get to work

The evolutionary lag hypothesis is trivially false. Simple calculations show you’d quickly run out of atmospheric carbon.

I even do it solo. Why not proofread?

I dunno, on the crypto side stablecoins are pretty compelling for hassle-free cross-border transfers—there’s $125bn in circulation, which to me means it’s taken off. On the AI side, I mean for example it’s not laughable to think anybody on

The problem is organized crime, and it’s worth pursuing even though it’s hard. This organized crime happens throughout the distribution chain, from the docks to store shelves. Changing store layouts or ordering online won’t fix the problem.

It changed a lot with fentanyl.

People inject god knows what and shit on the street. We call them zombies. There’s no way it’s anything like it was in the past. The people today need medical attention.

Yep, “I have a bomb. Nobody has to die today.” etc. is very effective.

Do you take issue with the legal reasoning delivered by the court? The facts of the case are pretty damning anyway. Harvard comes up with a tentative list of admitted students, then cuts based on just four factors: legacy, recruited athlete

Because that’s where the users are. Metamask alone has 10 million MAU.

Metamask has 10m MAU. I think this is a great idea.

What does a spill of cesium and strontium at a research site have to do with nuclear power generation?

That’s strange because the 2022 deficit alone exceeds defense spending by a factor of ~2. DoD spending was up ~10% since 2012, which social security spending was up ~50%.

Also if the decline is all WFH, why have private vehicle miles traveled recovered to pre-pandemic levels?

Great for Cyberpunk 2077, but not great if you need more than 24 GiB.

RTX 6000 Ada alone is $7000. Don’t see how you’re “completely blowing the Mac Pro out of the water” at that price point.
