The problem is that there's not a clearly viable alternative. Even if we're in a period where the market is going to underperform (likely), will it still underperform cash? Bond yields are so low that they're a questionable i

Or ideally keep 21.4% and include the 95% CI. There’s nothing misleading about the extra precision when the CI is included.

Seems like an extremely minor gripe (as you mention, it’s all just bullshit) to be the top comment. Though FWIW I’m unable to disagree.

And in this case, the equilibrium is some amount of AI-bait fluff. There's a limit, beyond which continuing to add more fluff does not produce higher results.

A spreadsheet is a low code app. Less flexible than a general purpose programming language, but still extremely valuable. If low code apps simply provide more flexibility and maintainability than a spreadsheet, they’re already winning.

Okay, so I suppose the stability fee is paid in MKR, and Dai's stability ultimately is regulated by people who buy MKR, and because MKR is burned by the CDP, people who buy MKR receive the "interest" indirectly due to deflati

I think it’s more a difference in what people think the term “Kelly criterion” means, which is somewhat fair. The concept of optimizing for geometric mean came before Kelly, as well as the math showing that optimizing for log utility is a w

There are kind of two main points by Kelly: 1. Investment returns are multiplicative and should be looked at as a geometric series. To optimize the portfolio, optimize for geometric mean not arithmetic mean. 2. To optimize the geometric mea

I read a bit online after this, and saw various recommendations for people with CDPs to keep more like 300% collateral. If it dips below 150% the contract is automatically liquidated. Should give ample time for the creditor to get their mon

I'm new to this. Is the collateral locked into the contract and unspendable until the contract is closed? It's also kind of unclear what the interest is from that page. edit: apparently it's 8.5% https://mkr.tools&

Huh, maybe I am too young and used to the recent style! Thanks for the information.

Maybe the point was that a lot of proposed etymological theories are inaccurate? (which also seems wrong but at least slightly defensible)

With a gigabit uplink, in my experience video quality is noticeably better on several popular services.

They're looking at how popular video conferencing services perform on a 50/5 client connection, with up 10 users sharing the connection.

Depends on how much impact is actually reduced by that minute. It's going to be cool to see the comparisons in the app.

Surprisingly, that would be the tipping point that would get me to pay. Dislike ratio is very useful to avoid wasting time.

Though 96% ethanol via cheap distillation is fine for hand sanitizer, so the only real explanation is they're leveraging existing supply chains (as described) or have made a mistake.

Gold mining is also environmentally intensive, as is transporting gold for trade. Proof of stake is also a "mining" operation insofar as it produces a limited supply at a macro-predictable rate.

You could split wood more than 2 ways, then register one of the pieces. Or a system of splitting multiple pieces of wood, leaving some for registration. No idea if this is what anyone has done. Signing makes sense.

I think your evaluation is right and sensible. If you wanted, you can also take on risky bets with more diversification. Joining a company that's relatively close to IPO is an interesting middle area.

If you load jQuery as part of your first party bundle, sure. But if you load it from a 3rd party CDN, you can assume it will independently fail at some point. If you’re making something important, the proper resiliency practise would be to

You're still getting paid a salary and can save that to diversify. Selling equity along the way isn't possible for everyone, but for example my employer IPO'd after 3 years and I've been liquidating at a schedule since t

Preferred stock by default mainly affects liquidation order when there's no dividend. If the company does very well, that won't be a factor. https://www.svb.com/blogs/lewis-hower/startup-founders-shoul...

Very nice. An advantage of paravirtualization is that compositing across the guest and host will work, unlike passthrough. Any rough indication of the level of performance?

I’ve also had people spam “approvals” on some projects I maintain to pad their stats. Incredibly annoying to get 100+ notifications for that. I reported one particularly bad offender to GH and they were banned for a day, at least. Their pro

Apple also tends to prefer pushing their users to their closed software ecosystem. Given the likely low demand for passthrough on these devices, I kind of doubt they'll implement it in the foreseeable future.

I'm don't think you can do GPU or PCI passthrough on macOS. Not sure if/when Apple would consider adding that. I'm glad the things I want to do on Linux are all terminal based. I used a tiling WM for years on Arch and do

"Coinbase generated $141 million of net income on $691 million in revenue for the first nine months of 2020, according to documents shared with investors." Though 2021 will be higher, will it be 20x higher?
