Shared agreement is not quite enough, that’s why algorithmic stablecoins fail. You can say that’s due to lack of agreement but it all comes down to incentives. The only reason stablecoins work is because they have a mechanism where you can

You provided more evidence for my case - you don’t need an armed population, just enough public support that can overwhelm armed forces and would cause a bloodbath/loss of military and police loyalty. You linked Egyptian revolution whi

You… really think a tyrant would fail because of a bunch of armed general population? The make or break is having public support, a bunch of people armed with guns don’t make a difference - maybe they would when the amendment was written, b

I am not 100% convinced the PQ side applies to assets. It works well for newly produced goods/value introduced into the economy, but market can keep trading 2 assets at a 10x or 1000x velocity back and forth but there is no price diffe

The crypto world has moved way past bitcoin, that’s just what the media likes to talk about - there are stablecoins 1:1 tied to US dollar, what if you could use those, sidestepping the whole credit card/bank etc industry? That’s of cou

What do you think lobbyists do? IRS tax nerds write some rules and then loopholes lobbied for by corporations get injected into the final bill. Just heard the other day from AOC that the new COVID relief bill had such a ridiculous clause th

Just because something is publicly documented doesn't make it legal. I can't put "our price says $5 but actually we will charge you $5,000" into terms onto a website and expect to get away with it. The only difference is

You are confusing executing untrusted code in a VM with opening something in a browser in a VM - would really need to be a double VM escape.

I think it’s because the DOM just isn’t as responsive as native components - interacting with anything in a browser or in an electron app has that subtle latency that doesn’t make it feel as good. Seems that this could go away with react na

XML came out in 1998, iOS in 2007 (or a year later for the SDK). It’s closer to XML than to today.

Imo this article points out legitimate problems, but downplays the downsides. The real solution is to combine both: 1. Use a general purpose language (or ideally a very dumb subset like Starlark) to generate the configs. You get all the reu

Yup, so it was either him or Adnan. If you ever played a deception game, when someone falsely accuses you, you go mad. Adnan is not mad and not accusing Jay back. He is guilty but didn't want to disappoint his community by admitting it
