Thanks for explaining that, I hadn't hear that specific thing. So he was the one that made that bizarre donation. I'd heard about the candidate out of no-where, didn't know SBF was behind it or who he was before a few days ag

if it was a mistake for ftx to avoid that, it was a mistake for all the other firms, yet the other firms did it like ftx. Probably all these other firms would have claimed they did standard risk management, yet so many have died, one after

I'm not an expert, but the reason this keeps happening is the financials of these firms are opaque. No one really knows how much they have, how much they have leveraged various investments to make new investments with loans on them. Th

Can you explain this comment, I don't see democrats as being bought in crypto? What would giving them money accomplish? Most politicians in both parties are very skeptical of all this crypto tulipmania. There are a very small number wh

Why does anyone create their own token? Once you get people using it, then you can just "print more" and make yourself incredibly rich. Creating wealth out of nothing but people like your foobar token and they will convert other t

Yes. It's obviously a silly approach that doesn't stand 5 minutes consideration as a business plan. People went to twitter to be outraged, but some went there because they could follow experts in fields, journalists, scientists, w

So who is the fields medalist? Interestingly a Google search didn't find that. I'm guessing they were somehow at fault or were drinking. I'm sure if I ever had a car accident where I hurt someone or I was drunk or something,

The issue is not the strawman you put up, where you mention it is scary to the leaders that people are getting access to information and making choices. The issue is that people are riling up large groups of people based on lies and making

HS teachers for cs don't have grad school requirements, at least in the us. Also in the US there is a great shortage of experienced people for teaching jobs in the schools that are tech oriented. They can give you a temporary permissio

The danger is whenever anyone feels like asking others to check out there pretty good work, someone will inevitably find problems. It's just life and our limits as humans. What I have noted is the people that carry themselves as huge g

It's just address part of the problem, which of course is why it seems somewhat pointless. I need to: 1. Install packages/deps/libraries etc safely 2. Run code that includes those libraries that limits their capabilities cent

Seattle succeeds because it's the same time zone and Cali, Microsoft pulled tens of thousands of programmers here, then Amazon, now we have critical mass. What we don't have is nearly as many companies starting up here. I think no

He's going to drive away advertisers by allowing more hate speech. That's their major revenue source. That won't increase advertising. The $20/registered user per month sounded great until I learned there are only 400k r

That's a silly attitude. There are consumer safety standards for good reasons. You shouldn't have to investigate say helmet manufacturers to make sure they aren't made with dangerous substances or will fail without protecting

Why not add a gas engine too, for places where you only have gas and not electricity or hydrogen? Because it's unnecessary weight to carry around. Toyota and Japan pushed hydrogen for a long time because their industrial base is so foc

Yes, batteries are in short supply. We have been increasing battery supplies, energy density, and reducing nickel and cobalt for a decade. Theres's basically endless demand today. I'm sorry but your comments are basically standar

As we learned with Trump, there aren't enough limits on the president's power. Especially if the majority in congress just want to keep the bs power coming from their majority - they won't vote against them. The us constituti

Interesting. Their website has a real "Delos" feel, as in the West World corporation. I'd love a narrow cast for my area too. You could sell access to these maybe.

What does a lot of people even mean? It's meaningless. Is that you and your friend? Results of a study? Random thoughts of sex fearing folks?

I see the main reason is that it's a core tenant to Xi's current CCP that there will be one China and they want to destroy them. The existence of a Chinese democracy is intolerable to them. It certainly goes against the stated vis

I thought a lot about your comment. It's a very interesting comment. I think we should strive to leave alien life alone - it doesn't matter whether they are in our eco-system or off planet. Life should be allowed to be. It also he

This guy Lars Anderson is fascinating, doing so much more with arrows. He has a great video, trying to rediscover or recreate the Comanche capabilities. Well worth 5 minutes of your time if you have any interest in historic military or the

Thanks. My use case is normal linux use, but I need to occasionally run x86 code in a linux vm. So (1) running linux, (2) running a different arch vm, (3) some gui apps. I have already been reading the state of running x86 vms on macos on
