Crypto is not binary. The vast majority Og people will likely use a custodian for their crypto. For them it will feel like banking feels now. Just like coinbase provide a visa card with collateral i your crypto. So essentially these questio

Why doesn't it generate any value? There are crypto networks that does betting. The natural next thing is insurance, which can be considered a special case of betting. The "harsh" truth might very well be, that a lot of indus

It is probably impossible to regulate Crypto altogether, as it is merely a term with no sound definition. Regulations would probably also hit, eg., in-game economies, that are essentially the same as crypto economies, just them being contro

This indeed seems reasonable in the eyes of the contemporary understood society, which is only a couple of hundreds years old anyways. A counter argument could be that Crypto is regulation . Crypto economies encode all sorts of incentive s

I really see bitcoin as a step to something quite a bit more ambitious: Algorithmic governance. It seems like this article only concerns bitcoins, which would appear a bit narrow. Crypto currencies are a large area. And in my opinion, we sh

I think this is entirely correct. In this framework we wouldn't call it a 10x programmer, but a 10x thinker.

I doubt the bricklayer will become more efficient by taking a walk ruminating. But sure, some tasks are like that. Those are the tasks where you have 10x producers.

by madsbuch 5y ago
I think the "10x programmer" as a term is confusing. In one analogy it could be the 10x bricklayer. One who does a well defined job 10 times faster than the others. I think this is the notion people oppose. Another analogy is the

It would be interesting to know if there are some GDPR ramifications here. Do Blizzard leak private data if I grab a screenshot and share it publicly?

I think the point is, that the society as a whole should support public tax records. Finland (and Sweden) does.

Or! We could go one step further, and change the connector to make sure that people use them correctly. Wouldn't that be clever!?

Both are reasonable. I would say that the problem is in the order: It is not OK for YT to be a healthy company, it needs to grow. It is like a car that is not allowed to max out at a speed.

The problem is that there is a risk/compliance trade-off. "The law" is not a compiler that compiles or not. Heck, companies can report whatever they want and get away with a certain chance. If you do the math it might even be
