When banks "create money" there is a matching liability already in place -- the claim that some depositor has on that money. The bank isn't "richer" by having made that loan. An imperfect analogy is if you buy a ca

Wouldn't users have the ability to not update or switch providers if Apple expands the scope of its search beyond CSAM? I guess I don't see the huge difference between the surveillance code existing on the phone but not used for o

They likely are making large capital investments, but that shouldn't show up all that much in operating numbers. Personnel expenses would though.

This is speculation on my part, but I think the wealth transfer from the baby boomer generation to their kids is playing a part. I've seen estimates ranging from $30 to $70 trillion to be passed down. At least anecdotally (in the Unit

I could not disagree more. Pfizer should be able to profit from the vaccine. If the govt steps in and takes away their ability to benefit from the vaccine what incentive is there for bio firms to respond like Pfizer did in the future? Wh

The article kind of contradicts itself by bringing up this point, then later saying that people make a lot of impulse purchases and the average trip costs $16. I don't doubt that your anecdote is true, but it seems to not be the typic

Good on you for standing up to what you saw as a violation of trust and ethics! You're light on the details of the departure though. Were they explicit that the relationship "fizzled" because of your refusal to deploy the c

Just an FYI if the author is here. Benford's law applies to the leading (most significant) digit of numbers, not all digits. Nice article and analysis though. I recently built an Iris with low profile keycaps and absolutely love the

I also recommend Vasily Grossman's books. Life and Fate, Stalingrad, Everything Flows, etc. Life and Fate is one of the most powerful books I've read. https://www.nyrb.com/products/life-and-fate?_pos=1&_

Thank you, that is helpful. I'm surprised that people are willing to send eth based on the promise to later transfer an address!

The other reply was correct. Transferring a star is simple. I wanted to figure out how to sell it. I suppose that is also my fault of not understanding ethereum/nft terminology, not just Urbit.

by k2enemy 5y ago
Yes, exactly this. I've tried so many times to engage with Urbit but at every turn things seem intentionally inscrutable. I have a star that I've wanted to sell several times, but each time I give up after several hours of unsuc

We should pass a law that all ICE vehicles must get less than 5 miles per gallon. That will make people need more gas, and it might accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles!! What a horseshit argument. So bad that I have a very differ

Follow the big money? The total "market value" of bitcoin is a rounding error in the global economy. Many individual companies have a larger market cap.
