Go over to The Long Now and place some bets on those. I think you will be wrong on almost all of these.

They aren't trying to outlaw math. They are trying to make it unpractical. If the app stores don't allow E2EE apps, grandma isn't installing her own toolchain to compile her own copy. Then they can also outlaw public github r

You are right but what is the alternative. Do you think that it is practical to expect people to become subject matter experts on everything? Should they spend their limited free time reading through dozens of articles about covid vaccinati

That much money means you don't need a plan.

And then you have the current bs where the anesthesiologist for your operation at the hospital system that you always use is somehow un-affiliated and out of network even if everything else in that system is in network.

This is such an awful take. So if a doctor prescribes a medicine and the patient never takes it and the patient dies it is somehow the doctor's fault or they don't get paid? Some doctors are greedy. Some ________ are greedy. There

I don't know. Look at Texas and their recent changes. I think the larger the group, the harder it is to have opposition and discourse. Making a whole state hell for a whole group of people isn't any better than for one resident. I

While correct, I think you are missing the point on doorbell cameras. Of course it doesn't require trusting Ring to not destroy your privacy by using their system. However, what percentage of people who want a doorbell camera are goi

Serious question: I haven't done the research but I've always felt that in abstracts like Chess and Go that a larger part of the skill is in "reading the board". Humans are leveraging our pattern matching but we can get

Product and sales always want exact dates from tech but always seem to be a lot more vague when it comes to customer numbers and revenue numbers. I've found the following system to work well. Estimates are always given as the following

While true, it is the only hope that someone without money has to beat the market. Low interest rates and tax deductions and inflation mean you are paying back loans with positive leverage you can't get elsewhere.

I'd agree with you IF all our primaries were on the same day and there wasn't this caucus >> primaries in a new state each day

They are just the new ponzi scheme, the new penny stocks, the new internet scam. I dare anyone who claims to believe in NFTs to put their entire net worth in NFTs and put that into escrow for 10 years. The crypto eco-system is mostly abou

There is a spectrum and thresholds we all have but in general: Work for money and find meaning in hobbies/side projects/etc. This doesn't mean money above all else, just that looking for both is unlikely to bear fruit.

Serious question: Can't a government block it at the ISP level? They could also make out of country VPN illegal. How would BTC work in practicality under those conditions?

True but this is missing the point. No one is asking why so many people are stealing packages. The stealing is a symptom. How often would you get lucky on an Amazon package? How much could you re-sell a new pair of $100 women's boots s

I think the missing things for most people revisiting notes is they record the what but rarely the why. The why makes the what easy to back into but we tend to focus on the destination what too much. ymmv

Not all hunters are rednecks. Also, clearly you have never gone hunting. Let's rephrase this in a more understandable way. Do you think it would be possible to kill/capture ALL the pigeons in even a single city

You are right but they have only one tool left and that is to print money. Which is what the Fed has been doing for 18 months and why the stock market is only up and up as all this money is chasing equities. We are really about to find out

Fair but this is the thing we all do wrong with estimates. I've come to the following system that I think works well and captures the uncertainty. Estimates are given as the following choices: hours, days, weeks, months, quarters. You

I agree but I think the government should set a max on the amount they will guarantee. The colleges are smart and will set tuition at the max guarantee because they don't want risk. They can cut social programs and stop building Taj Ma

And I can copy that url off of the chain, pay nothing, print it out and hang it on my wall. You bought nothing. If you want to support an artist, give them money. NFTs are the new penny stocks. Pump and dump.

They can't ever work. You can't prove digital rights to a non digital asset. It doesn't matter what the blockchain says owns a property when the county courthouse says you do. They tried the same thing for "produce on th

No, because it is a fake scarcity scam. People are selling art they don't even own. It is all a pump and dump scheme.

Betteridge's law of headlines say NO. It is just easier than ever to share and disseminate your lies. Plus, lots more people can agree with you.

Yeah, this is what happened with toilet paper writ large. Then you add in the supply shocks and it is exacerbated. The other issue is that the ports and trucks staffing was already short handed and then they backed off hard during covid. Ei

Yeah, I think the main use case for VR will be just be porn with connected devices. I do think there is some ability to do a VR-ish remote tele-presence use case. Think Google Street View data capture for walking the Great Wall of China. So
