Heirs? Kickstarter isn't a dynasty by any stretch of imagination. High performers in tech are in fact allergic to unions. I guarantee you that the highest paid FANG engineers would never in a million years even consider applying to a u

Right, both are not "startups" they are public companies.

Coinbase isn't just "some startup." It's a Fortune 500 company that reassured new hires that they will NOT be rescinding offers until they changed their mind last minute.

Being unable to finance and unwilling are two different things although I'm sure Elon can try that.

There are clearly situations where it's deemed acceptable. Dropbox cooperates with law enforcement to remove illegal images of minors, for instance.

How can you say that when there clearly is a market where people are willing to pay 5-6 figures for a videogame?

How is not a net good? Are you saying that a 50% saving is not significant enough reduction in cost? Certainly this is a step in the right direction? I get that Cuban putting his name on an existing project is kind of annoying but it's

People keep stating that he can buy a $1B get out of jail card but AFAIK that's not true. He can only pay the breakup fee if he has financing concerns and/or regulatory reasons for not being able to close the deal. [0] [0] https:

It's because they didn't sell it directly on the market. They were sold to funds that would lock up the Lunas for 2 years and so on. The Lunas were also sold at a discount (relative to the market price back then).

C'mon. Rent was/is expensive but never $3000 for a bunk bed. If you were really splitting a room I'm pretty sure you could have had one for <$800 pre pandemic (assuming you're splitting 1 bedroom in a 3 bedroom setup)

Can you elaborate a bit more on your thoughts here? Are you relieved because you think this is a good thing? Or is it only a good thing because they're leveraging Bridgewater?

That's because the transaction isn't reversible/is hard to trace the funds. It's not that "code is law" in the sense that smart contracts are extralegal. They would and should have legal recourse if the person

I think there's a difference between betting on the future of an ecosystem and pumping the latest shiba inu X coin trading on Binance but you do you.

I primarily care because I think there's money to be made. But I also think the shift directionally makes sense. Traditional finance (really most transactions for that matter) have moved towards fewer middlemen dependent, more democrat

Where and when did the defi protocol in question explicitly state "code is law"? No one is waiving legal recourse when they're using Web3. I'm not a lawyer but I'd be very surprised if one could even "waive leg

I'm not extrapolating on the premise adding my own commentary. The parent commenter asserts an axiom (that we all purported agree with) and then links an observation to said axiom. I'm merely stating that the observation is not pa

I don't think you're disproving the parent commenter with these links. Again, it appears that the VARK learning styles are likely nonsense but that doesn't mean people don't have different learning preferences that work

Crytocurrencies != smart contracts. The original premise of bitcoin was essentially to create a decentralized fiat currency. As its value grew the thesis then changed to equate more of a decentralized digital gold/inflation hedge that&

Smart contracts allow for guaranteed outcomes. Some commentary added by a random law firm does not mean that guaranteed outcomes == no need for litigation and courts. Just think of non-smart contract parallels. If a bank had an ATM, the pre

Just because there are crypto anarchists doesn't mean that all crypto proponents are anarchists. And smart contracts (not sure why they're in quotes in your comment) can depend on real law and still operate fine (e.g. I'm sur

I never hear "code is law" from defi protocols, their ToS, or really from anyone. It's only the detractors of Web3 who tout this false logic of "code is law" so I guess you're screwed. Examples of code NOT bein

Your analogy doesn't make sense for a multitude of reasons. Terra is the blockchain that Luna and UST ran on, not the stablecoin on the ecosystem. More importantly, DAI is overcollateralized using ETH and other coins. UST was algorithm

Just tell it like it is: you created a scam penny auction site for a scam asset class. What prevents you from just creating a second account and always ensuring that you break even by bidding higher than what it should be worth?

Can you explain? A wider spread means less efficient markets which means fewer transactions which means lower revenue, no?

Other L1s can also probably handle it. Not at the latency that Solana could but I see a lot of other low cost high tps L1s handling something like this easily.
