But at least in crypto I have the OPTION of storing it myself. Also, if I do decide to use a custodial provider, I can choose to use a provider that publishes proof of reserves [0], giving me more confidence in the provider. [0] https:&#x2

You're conflating a bunch of different things here. The main issue being discussed right now is: storing your crypto on exchanges is risky, so don't do it.

If you're holding it on Gemini Earn, I highly recommend withdrawing, even if only for the next few months. Gemini Earn deposits into Genesis Trading, and they have admitted to having direct exposure to FTX ($175M [0]). While they can l

Taking that a step further, is Binance doing the same thing?

If I've learned anything, the moment you start seeing posts like "funds are safe", "withdrawals are flowing" from an exchange, it's game over, and time to gtfo if it's not already too late.

Do you have data to back this up? It seems like an absurd claim based on the developers I know.

It can have effects on the priority your data receives on the network. This post [0] gives a fair amount of detail - from what I can understand, AT&T gives their prepaid plan the same priority as normal post-paid. [0] https:/&#x2F

I would be really curious to see the numbers behind this.

1. Baremetal. 2. It can handle 1gbps over the wan port (that's as fast as my internet goes, unable to test faster). 3. yes - not sure how hot, hasn't been a problem yet though.

Not tax advice, but I'm pretty sure you can just file it under a Schedule C as business income, and then you definitely can deduct the expenses from the business income with no 2% minimum.

Minimal in terms of direct costs to you, but merchants pay 2-3% on EVERY transaction, and I can guarantee you that does end up baked into the prices you pay.

The framework one is 2.5Gbit/s vs 1Gbit/s for the Anker one you linked to.

Hmm. This sounds oddly similar to how phones have progressed over the years.

They also banned developers that worked on Tornado Cash (not just the project, any developers that worked on it), a project that had a deployment put on the OFAC list. It's almost universally agreed to be an unnecessary step by Microso

100% agreed. That's one thing that really bothered me about "openai".

Are you comparing based on the base price, or the "discounted" price? (I ask because Thinkpads seem to almost always have a 20 - 50% off sale - right now I believe it's 50% off).

FWIW, ethernodes is not an accurate source of data on this. They are missing a LOT of nodes (mine has been running for over a year and isn't listed, and others I have spoken to say the same thing).

As someone that happily rents (I enjoy the increased optionality that comes with this option), the constant push to get everyone to own a house seems weird to me. Yes, we should make it possible to own a home, but it doesn't need to be

That's a fair point, but to me it's the gimmicky "synthetic engine noise" that makes absolutely no sense. It's a bridge for people stuck in the past on gas cars that helps better map to their mental model of a good
