Yeah. They’ve gone completely to ground. I am guessing in the hopes it will blow over before it becomes bigger. They claimed in a tweet earlier today that they were preparing a response however the fact they locked off their channel seems t

Pretty much. You need to hire the people who know how to do the job right. Ironically showing wisdom in that means the money donated will likely also be used correctly by hiring the right specialists.

The reason these guys exist is because the difference between a 100k+ campaign and a 10k failed campaign can come down to straight marketing which most engineering minded folks are not trained/knowledgeable with.

I have a feeling this may be a crossed wires problem where someone spent the money raised before they sent it because of bad accounting or whatever. Regardless, if the statement “we received none of the money” is true. There is definitely s

The blocking people asking about it on Twitter is what leads me to be concerned. While there may be an explanation, blocking third parties trying to get your side of the story seems to imply there’s something they feel they need to hide fro

This is true for most groupings. A Facebook group which I mod made a similar decision to create a sub group for politics and ban politics in the main group. Worked amazingly well at keeping the vitriol and nastiness down

Funny side question. Is there any crypto currency that it’s worth mining as a non consortium these days? I used to do bitcoin way back in the day but I’m curious if any of the other currencies are worth enough to make it worthwhile.

I’ve heard so many solid engineering reasons why this wouldn’t work on the scale that musk originally put out. Other than the response of “we will figure that out.” Has anyone resolved issues like track expansion and catastrophic vacuum col

This is my thinking. The volatility of bitcoin is insane and fascinating. It’ll be a real experiment if futures flattens it out.

This could be more likely than you’d think.

The roads are still privately owned in the net neutrality analogy. So the government isn’t paying to maintain or upgrade them. However the taxi companies also don’t have any direct payments or influence since the roada must remain neutral.

Let me clarify. I mean for all intents and purposes we don’t have a vast majority of the population working in industries that would be essential for life and well being but rather producing goods which are not really needed but wanted and

Only play with what you are willing to lose. If it’s a pyramid scheme you could make a gamble and get out in time. If it’s legit you’ll be fine. If it’s a scam, whatever. You had fun. ;)

Considering at this point I expect a lot of short contracts it’ll be interesting.

Yeah. Making it harder to read slows you down and improves comprehension. Ironically the opposite of the textbook typesetting Industry for the past century.

My thoughts exactly.

While I agree it doesn’t cripple some investment. I can see how it can cripple other investments. It’s essentially choosing a winner and declaring the other folks to be utilities without actually calling them utilities.

I love it from the perspective as a gamble. However, I get myself stuck on how difficult it is to get cash out of bitcoin. I wonder if the price pressure is due to that.

I love how he says people should make dumb mistakes and then in the next sentence actively disqualified people he disagrees with from having the same privilege under the guise of “well you can’t allo hate speech.” It’s so typical.

Yeah. They need to be able to offer rewards to really take off.

If they can offer similar offerings to Patreon I don’t see why not. And considering patreon’s Offerings are slim pickings right now I don’t see why it wouldn’t be hard to match.

Is there any reason someone wouldn’t want to use a variety of these platforms to take payments. Like liberapay, Patreon, and some others. It’s not like you have to pay more in transaction fees and it would allow your contributors a variety

It's interesting, but the heat I guess goes away over time? Can't type messages to others or anything?

Unless there's a backdoor in the S-Box that no one knows about, it's pretty much impossible.
