Obviously there should be limits but what should they be? I actually don’t think asking for phone ids for 30min before and after an event within a limited distance IS overly broad. The fact it only returned 19 initial IDs kind of shows that

What would you manufacture at scale that would open the straits? If you had an interceptor with a 99% rate of interception (even in such a tight space, and assuming it could intercept underwater as effectively as in air) then if the Iranian

1. Sounds like exactly when early investors and insiders would want to cash in and when retail investors who “have heard of the company and like the product” will buy without a lot of financial analysis. 2. A 300bn IPO can mean actually rai

I have a tradfi background but work in crypto with trading software. The whole industry (except deribit) is a shit show of barely working apis that aren’t reliable or accurate in any way. It’s completely routine to not be able to get an ord

The most annoying thing about pieces like this is how easy it would be to actually test the hypothesis. They could just give people choline (double blind placebo including some participants who are not anxious). And test the effect on both

Broadly speaking if the data is on someone else’s computer, it’s in their “house” for the purpose of the search. Cracking open your phone might require a warrant. But basically every byte of data on it has come from your ISP and is backed u

Unpopular opinion: the case against him/binance was always that as a non us citizen, outside the us, he failed to obey US law and in a paperwork and licensing sense not a violent or otherwise serious manner. I don’t like trump. But “CZ

I never understand why people don’t pay more attention to “n” in these cases: number of other players. If there are 2 suppliers in a market, they will collude without algos or private meetings: I can be pretty sure you will not cut your pri

The first trillionaire will be whoever owns the patent on mass producing graphene with controlled properties. I worked on that back in 2006. As far as I can tell no progress has been made.

Gamblers anonymous should offer a service where if you are struggling with betting addiction you give them your account and they sell it to a “sharp” who profits until you are banned. That’s good for everyone right?

https://www.betfair.com/ Does exactly this. Odds are just set by supply and demand and you pay a small fee per bet.

The UK has a bunch of deeply divided issues: 40% want lower house prices and rents (tenants and would be buyers) and 40% want higher house prices and rents (landlords and owners). The same is true for taxes and immigration and crime/ju

Chiming in as a Brit: I m generally opposed to this. I already have a passport and that is digitalised and universal. Why not just use that? The UK has a bad habit of launching these programs and not being able to deliver on them. We have h

Um… This seems like a nothing burger. Microsoft jointed an NGO that pushes nuclear that most people have never heard of. If they were investing a 100bn in nuclear that would be interesting. Paying a small, cancellable membership fee is the

Would you rather pay up front and get a warranty or sign a long service contract with high bills? The answer is the latter because paying more later is a form of borrowing, but not one you have to declare as debt. So you can announce a tax

I broadly agree. Since us brits left I wondered if there would be a big move to more effective government. But apparently not? I think the most interesting thing about the EU is we’re watching the formation of a country but over ~100 years.

I think we’re at risk of confusing 2 issues here 1. Has the pressure for more intervention and an EU armed forces gone up? 2. What will that look like, who will pay for it, who will control it, will Germany dominate it etc I am just saying

The US has spent decades preventing and delaying the EU becoming a defacto state with a single army and significant foreign policy. Now trump is driving its creation in a single term.

This is true in an ideal world where we have unlimited resources and all other services are already fully funded. But that is not the world we live in. How many laptops will you remove from schools to provide to prisons? How many people sho

That’s tax evasion. Money laundering is disguising the source or use of funds (making illegally sourced cash look legally sourced). Plenty of people would (do) happily pay some tax on cash as part of avoiding difficult questions about the s
