Have there been any benchmarks done on the websocket side of FastAPI specifically compared to flask-socketio? Especially when scaling horizontally and needing to synchronize across many socket servers? We're building out a product that

Nice! My first internet fight. Exciting. It's not just 3000 people. My comment is relevant for entities like pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, insurance companies that have to allocate their float, conglomerates like Berkshire

I think this is true, but only to a point. It's certainly true when the comparison is 10K to invest vs 10M, as liquidity of markets is not yet a concern and the investor with 10M is suddenly "accredited", can afford to pay a

If I was a shareholder of FAANG (I'm not), I wouldn't be very excited about them taking on very unprofitable tasks like solving humanity's urgent problems.

Yes, this is true in the sense that investor's did actually receive returns, but I was talking about the fund as a whole not actually generating any returns.

I'm pretty sure FAANG pays quite a lot in payroll tax, property tax, and they also ensure that FAANG employees pay quite substantial income tax, property tax, and sales tax.

How do you understand that the entire world was communist until 10,000 years ago? The natural order of the world appears to more closely resemble capitalism via the "eat what you kill" philosophy. I imagine you are imagining close

I don't think this analogy holds. In the Madoff example, returns were quite literally only on paper, as they were fabricated out of thin air. As someone who runs ads on Facebook, I can tell you that we saw an immediate lift in revenue

> If you want to actually help the economy you helicopter drop stimulus checks. I think this is a bit simplistic. This is also how you get hyperinflation. Perhaps the government should just have a clean separation from money, much like t

Just to play devil's advocate, why shouldn't we in fact allow algorithms to determine how to allocate capital? Legendary investors like Warren Buffet use "value" investing as a methodology to drive returns. Isn't th

With this logic, most of the world is exhibiting deeply ingrained magical thinking by honoring 3000+ year old commandments like "You shall not murder". Just because an ideology is honored and held in high esteem by its adherents (

How do you handle browsing? Does Cohere only work with SPAs? Do you inject turbolinks or something similar to prevent resets of the execution environment when users navigate between pages?

DAI is stable(ish), so there's no effective tax liabilities since your cost basis will always market price. The tax issues come up if you're storing BTC (or other alts), not DAI.

Yup, this gets it right. As a thought experiment, imagine someone builds a real, functional money printer in their basement and dialed it to print 10% of current M1. Would prices at the grocery suddenly skyrocket? Obviously not. Even though

If your customer is someone who previously had a team doing manual data entry, this pricing certainly leaves a lot on the table. I would imagine most customers being happy to tolerate a 10x increase in price without breaking a sweat, assumi

Of course, I'm familiar that the U.S. exports goods as well. Certainly the relationship specifically with China is one of a large and continuous trade deficit. However, the broad intention of my previous comment is to illustrate that t

> The rest of the world buys US treasuries cause we buy their goods. China buys treasuries because we buy goods with dollars. China has to do something with the dollars. It strikes me as extremely odd that it's become so normalized

The next fragment, "else they'll have to declare bankruptcy", is pretty much the answer. And as we learned in 2008, they're also "too big to fail", so that won't be happening.

This is a bit of an unorthodox take, but I think there are actually no schools or institutions more broadly that are truly "a-religious". After reflection on my own experience going through the public school system, I've re

I agree with the general free market ideas behind this argument, but I would go further and question why the 30% is considered price gouging. To compare, Envato (you may know them better as Themeforest), charges 55% as their "Non-Exclu
