The sales pitch: It's permissionless, but also has baked in compliance. These two things are not compatible. Stripe must comply with US regulation, they aren't going to launch a financial network that is actually permissionless.

As an avid X user, I think she did an astonishing job keeping the platform afloat at all given that the owner is borderline insane and uses the platform as his personal playground.

The article says that it belonged to a species of deer called “wapiti”. Since I never heard of it, I looked it up and it’s just an elk. Why didn’t the article just say “elk” which is the much more common term?

One really cool feature of the quick copy mode is that if you do the uppercase version of the letters it will automatically paste the value back into the terminal prompt.

This is good advice. Happiness is found through purpose, not hedonistic pursuit of abstract happiness for its own sake. Family is the ultimate purpose, but if not family then find a way to contribute to the greater world: Start a business a

I emailed him about his book Machinery of Freedom in my 20s (15+ years ago) and he was willing to engage in good faith debate with a complete nobody on the internet who emailed him out of the blue. He was not remotely pretentious or insuffe

It definitely hurts those who hold debt. Maybe you're thinking of borrowers? Certainly debt holders are very damaged by inflation, too. Especially long term debt holders (such as the previously mentioned pensions/retirement accoun

Persistently high inflation and economic decline, plus geopolitical blunders, leading toward US treasuries beginning to lose their status as global reserve asset and precipitating a US debt crisis.

by ursuscamp 2y ago
Probably, but by far the most likely scenario is a decade or more of persistently high inflation as bondholders (i.e. your pensions and retirement accounts) and normal people are pick-pocketed to bring down the nominal debt load.

Do you mean how long this system can last for the world, or for the US? I would be surprised if this system lasted 15 more years in the US.

I can't wait for this to take seven years to resolve, with the resolution being that the US government gets a big payday in bribes (er, sorry, fines) and nothing actually changes.

Hysterics will spend all day talking about what a liar Trump is right up until the moment he says something he's going to do that they think is bad, then all of a sudden he's telling the absolute truth. Trump lies, postures, hyper

This ridiculous hysteria serves no purpose. People said all these same things before his first election, and if anything Trump just accelerated aggression with Russia, just like every president before him and Biden after him.

The same company. The claims about pumping Bitcoin are ridiculous, but being secretly insolvent? It seems unlikely at this point, but maybe.

As always with these things, if they actually increase the value for home-owners, then people will naturally begin to select them on their own over time. However, if they do not increase value, then you will just be hamstringing your state

If they were smart they would keep them, but Western governments are rarely smart about this. They should be able to find buyers at OTC desks and ETFs without affecting the market too much.

Bluey blew me away when I saw it with my daughter. It's sweet, positive, emotional, well written. It's not the slightest bit cynical, handles every issue with tact, doesn't contain heavy handed messaging and has traditional v

You can use tokio’s block_on to sync-ify. You need to instantiate a runtime, but you don’t need to do run your whole application in it, just the Future. edit: Tokio can be beefy. You might look at some of the smaller single-threaded runtime

I'm well aware of the argument that left-wing anarchists make that anarcho-capitalism isn't real anarchism. As per usual, only left-wing anarchists care about this semantic argument. Anarcho-capitalists keep using that term, and 9

Ayn Rand heroes are all sophisticated, educated artists and artisans. This man is more like a psychotic Ron Paul (I say this with some affection). He's an anarchist and very Austrian in his economics affiliation. Definitely not an affi

The idea that it is entirely due to conflicting values and not due to the shows unpopularity seems like a bit of a cope of the show's producer's part. If the show was driving people to subscribe to Apple TV+, it likely would not h
