A core problem is that you don't need super fancy type systems to build robust systems in practice. After a certain threshold, type theory research is exploring what's possible in theory, like pure mathematics, not what would be g

Yeah I shouldn't have used the word fascism, which isn't what Marx/Lenin were prescribing. But in practice, the implementations of Nazi fascism and Bolshevik totalitarianism were virtually indistinguishable. Ultranationalist,

The core scenario in which it makes sense to buy property in bitcoin is if you already hold a ton of bitcoin. Then, selling the bitcoin in order to pay fiat for a house is the more cumbersome route to take.

But why wouldn't ballot handlers swap out paper votes, etc.? You can rig anything with improper safeguards.

If you bought your bitcoin with legit money, and then you exchanged the bicoin for a house, and you're doing your taxes correctly, how could that be money laundering?

They’re trying to find out if Facebook intentionally bypassed their own policies and allowed election propaganda to run wild because it was to their benefit. (E.g., a trump coup would have been good for Facebook.) Basically are they stupid

It’s not about the foot soldiers but about senators trying to reject the vote certification. The people outside were the polarized ammunition. “Look how angry the American patriots are, that’s proof that we need to reject the certification

Is the problem that people are hopping jobs (this was always the case), or that they're exiting the industry? I thought we're talking about the latter. I see a lot of software people quitting to take sabbaticals, to work on a proj

Trump's and Giuliani's incessant campaign can be seen as domestic terror: "to intimidate and coerce a civilian population", "to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion". The capitol &qu

Can't you say that about anything? The IRS, DOJ, NSA, Supreme Court. You can claim they were all created by whatever party was in majority power, to go after their political opponents. And it often is politically advantageous to claim

I don't believe that. It would take too much work to have a coverup like that, especially as total nitwits are elected to congress constantly. To address that, you'd have to say that no, people are divided into two camps with an i

You're implying that democrats are doing all this PsyOps preparing to rule the country indefinitely? From where I sit, democrats are lame ducks who are set to get swept in 22 and 24.

The coup is not about the people with trump flags seizing power. It's about trump and congresspeople inside the building trying to reject the vote certification by using the anger of the people outside as justification. And yes, there&

Thanks, I could have sworn that before I switched back to iOS, I was getting a bunch of "<X> loved a message" from iOS users. Maybe it improved in newer iterations.

The huge gap between aspirations and technology continues to be the core problem for the crypto space. I keep seeing the excuse “it’s still early days”, but it’s been 14 years since the inception of proof of work blockchains. 14 years is t

I wonder how this works out from a legal perspective. It seems like an NFT is a contract, that never expires, to host content at a URL. Can a buyer sue the seller if the seller shuts down the serving of that image? Otherwise an NFT is just

I like types, but I have a hard time seeing them in Python. If I was forced to use only typed Python, I'd just use golang and get a ton of performance and concurrency that I could never get in typed Python. Good point about Django thou
