I remember the one time Sergei Brin said helicopters are surprisingly affordable. Sure if you are like 9th richest in the world that might be true.

Not saying you are wrong, but could you give real examples of your three points? Right now it feels a bit abstract and hard to argue against.

Chromium is open source? We still don’t control releases but having the open source version it should not be too hard to reverse engineer and see if they messed with it.

First off so, your parents are part of the starting conditions obviously. But I think I read that from twin studies there are indications that parents does not help all that much. In the U.S. just focusing on education can be bad, if you pi

What we “need” is hard to say, but what we will get is what will sell more cars. Maybe those two align, but there might not beer a strong connection between them. For example ambient lighting inside the car is largely a gimmick, but a fun o

To be honest even though I hate open office with a passion and cannot concentrate single person office is not ideal at least for me. A large part of my time at google we had a shared team office for 4-10 people and that was never an issue a

That’s true but severely understates antisemitism both historically and currently. Americans does not and have not faced the kind of discrimination that Jews have.

Jews and Israel should have no connection. Attacking Jews for what Israel does is just incredibly wrong. Let’s be very clear, any criticisms of Israels actions should not apply to Jews as a race, people or religion and even more so not be u

We will never know but I believe this current conflict was provoked by Israel with heavy police presence outside the mosque in Jerusalem. For what it is worth I have visited Israel and the West Bank, and my sympathies are with Israel as the

Oh, I really didn't think it was clear from your comment or follow up. Honestly I have friends who lied to get the vaccine early and I don't really want to blame them. We were all in different circumstances in this pandemic and li

Your original post is a bit unclear. You don’t state if you lied or not pretending to be eligible. If you did I don’t really feel any moral superiority, we each make our own decisions. That being said you are now one of those Karen’s in you

This is historical, there are no limitations in CA now. I believe that’s true for the whole country since April 15th. Bay Area removed requirements a few days before that due to higher than anticipated supply.

That’s a huge straw man. I am critical of some of Israel’s behavior, but by no means calling for its complete destruction.

We agree when it sends like we disagree, and I guess both could have worded it clearer. I state what I as a consumer expect when shopping. You state what is actually happening today. I think we both agree with both points.

That is unironically written on a website hosted in the us were it is fully possible to write information as critical as you want about any American political party or more or less who you want.

Countries and identities do not have a 1-1 mapping. This has and is causing a lot of issues I’m the world. Or is used to create a lot of friction by people that wants that.

That is not how it worked when I was in Google, regular developers were given as much chance possible to find another team. I am sure it sucks and was not nice, but they did really try their best to find other positions for people.

Is your second paragraph really true? These exact worlds are the reasons many have upgraded their ssd, the PS5 will only let you start new games from they built in fast hard drive for example.

To be clear I am not saying Apple are wrong here (and they are clearly my own views and not my employer's), but I don't think the food analogy is great. People can still use the Apple app store if they want to, I guess the key thi

Perhaps I am wrong, but for me that is super obvious (that it is an emergent phenomenon). Sadly that makes it a lot harder to solve, if it was planned we could find the people planning it and take back control, but when it is just chaos and

It would more be like if food safety inspections were optional, but only restaurants that opt in would be allowed to show a sign they were inspected either physically or on their web page. It would be trivial to be able to check for this. D

Customers of regular banks doesn't suffer from this. In the US the treasury, or more accurately fdic, will protect the first 250k of each customer account.

by kmonsen 5y ago
Bank customers money are backed (up to 250k for each account) by the US treasury though which is a pretty significant difference. The US can print itself out of any bank run, at least in the short term.

Is this true? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox at most .5 billion was missing from Gox but from is described here a lot more can be lost from Tether if it goes black hole?

Well if you are much, much better at mining you can just fork it and take all the bitcoin? A side effect of this is you only need to be much better at mining for a short time.

Hmm, was writing a longer answer to you, but ended up agreeing without expecting to. Bitfinex could either issue some USDT, convert it to USD and hand that to the influencer, or issue some USDT and hand that to the influencer. Can't re
