A warrant for a things isn't an order to the owner of that thing. It's an order to (and peemission for) officers to go and seize the thing. You get shown the warrant to prove that they have permission, not to order you to comply.

Perhaps there is no NDA on the fact that subpoenas were issued, but still an NDA on whom they were issued about? Limiting The scope of such an NDA feels like a plausible result of negotiations after a motion to squash the subpoena.

Interesting approach to data exfil. Though it seems predictable that exactly this kind of subpoena would be issued. If you can predict it, you can probably mitigate it. Which means the subpoena would only be useful if the criminals made an

Banks would need to price the risk of failing to get the loans back. Part of that might be refusing loans, but part of that would be raising the price. Even the most creditworthy student is more risky to loan to when a bankruptcy would canc

That would cause a massive interest rate hike, no?

It doesn't need to be free, just manageable. Cap it to 3000 a year, and things are much better. That's how the dutch system works.

What about interest rate deduction? I have dutch student debt, 44000 originally. But the interest rate is 0% which makes paying back decently doable. Besides that, there are hardship clauses which can yield partial debt forgiveness if my in

Markets only make sense when a resource is scarce. Tweaking the market and exemptions might be difficult and finicky. But managing taxation and outright bans is even more finicky. I am not, btw, arguing for an electricity like system of dai

The infrastructure for pricing electricity on demand already exists, at least where I live. And that is rolled out to all private residences. Why couldn't that be done with water?

There is (approximately) no cost of production for water. There is only a cost of extraction. The difference being that there is a limit to how much you can extract. On other words, you can run out of water. Running out of water is horrible

I believe that, in the case of water, homeowners tend to pay high prices, whilst farners get incredibly low prices and businesses can usually get sweetheart deals if they are big enough.

> How could "market rate" mean anything for water? Water is limited. And water use above basic needs has clear economic value. Besides water is a commodity. Water should be one of the easiest things to price. There is a base le

They should, because water is scarce. Like the article says, have a low rate for an amount that covers basic needs. But raise rates for usage above that. Discourage fountains wasting water. Ideally (though it won't happen probably) ma

Sailing is about tying knots around things. In 4D you can still tie a rope around a 2d plane, like we tie ropes around sticks. I presume you can similarly tie knots in 'planes' with perhaps an even richer set of 'knots'.

A hyper cube with sidelength 1 has a 'volume' of 1. Then you sorta just define 'volume' (or the proper term 'hypervolume' based on how many hyper cubes you can fit. If the fit isn't perfect, half the size

Don't pick sticks. Pick sides. Sides of a box. Every time you pick a direction with a stick, also set up two hyperplanes spaced appart. Effectively trying to build a hypercube. Once you have 1000 directions chosen (i.e. 2000 sides) you

As a note: the tidal bulge image gives an 'equipotential'. I.e. the water level you would get in equilibrium. That part of tidal bulges is right. The part that is wrong is that the actual water level is nowhere near equilibrium, b

The argument isn't. "This is illegal so the CEO should be jailed". Instead the argument is "This should be made illegal so the threat of jail ensures CEOs keep this from happening."

Discord took VC money. Slow and steady growth is as unacceptable to their investors as going bankrupt. So they have to chase the lowest common denominator of user.

This was my thought as well, is discord VC funded? This smells of 'hyper-scale or die'.

The difference between a ponzi and real finance is mostly lying. In a Ponzi you lie about asset growth. In real investments you report real asset growth. If the system fails it won't be because people lied about what their assets were.

I think there is an implicit contest to be closest to center of the bulls-eye. So you want less competition.

There have been attempts to start a bank that would just do this. The FED refused to give those banks a banking license. If they would give that license, then the 'narrow bank' gets the job of KYC, customer service, and everything
