The VCs who advised them to behave this way, if you ask me. In my ideal resolution, the government does their own valuation of the startups, rescues in excess of insurance the ones that seem promising, and proportionally takes the VC equity

There are literally stickers on the doors of every bank explaining that depositing money beyond $250,000 incurs risk. These naive smol bean founders don’t struggle to figure out the most tax advantageous way to get paid, let’s not pretend t

Leo and the rest of fedsoc have been doing this for a while. The article describes some of their successes and how they’re raising the stakes - are you responding to just the headline? What would be the liberal analog here anyway, there isn

If you think fractional reserve banking is “lying” how are you okay with fiat money at all? If you were consistent you’d be a true goldbug.

Hey if that’s what helps you sleep then that’s what helps you sleep. I’m just saying it’s against my principles.

It’s interesting that so many of the comments are basically, “it’s objectively better in every way, and the people in industry who aren’t using functional languages are too short sighted, greedy, or dumb to see it.” Could be, but every time

It rings true though doesn’t it? At least in my professional experience, I primarily have run into the “fun” technical problems that require theoretical knowledge when working on infrastructure. It makes sense, because lower on the stack

That’s definitely how right wing media portrays them. The reality is quite a lot more varied and nuanced. You should talk to some undergrads if you can! You may be surprised that things aren’t as you’ve been told.

Musk is doing this now by holding up a refinancing of Twitter’s building by defaulting on the rent. Anyone with a big enough war chest can just stop paying, drag it out in court, and wait the owners out. And tech companies have some of the

If companies want people to come into the office, they could pay them more and make it a condition of employment. In some sense they were getting a free ride for a long time by forcing senior employees to waste hours commuting for the benef

I never claimed Musk is a Russian asset - the market is signalling how it feels about Musk. I’m just suggesting that the kind of edgy ambiguity that lands with teens doesn’t tend to land with portfolio managers, as we are seeing. Obviously

Maybe this is a good lesson that when you’re the CEO of major companies and publicly speaking with a member of a government engaging a genocidal war of aggression, it’s just not smart to make any of these “le epic trolling” style jokes

I think you’re right, but I assume the whole idea was to avoid having the formal version of this thread in an appeals court a year from now.

Sorry, this is simply not true. The declarations of secession explicitly spell this out. You are welcome to read them yourself, here is one for example https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp Mississip

One reason is that transaction performance could be very different, even regardless to data volume. Your points are all correct of course, but then that wouldn’t be a preview environment, would it? It would be shared database state in a dat

This is not a great technical article. I don’t find it makes me curious. It’s entirely content marketing, zero technical content, clearly aimed at people who manage engineers but aren’t engineers. Doesn’t discuss drawback (doesn’t really de

None! I don’t think being an early employee at a startup has been a good value proposition for a while, maybe ever. Far far far safer to put in 5-10 years at a FAANG and then start your own company.

That wouldn’t stop someone from entering something into the ledger wrong or fraudulently. Crypto just isn’t a silver bullet, for anything.

You can both be right, the journalists need to pay their rent, and this also forces them into a situation where their personal interests are aligned with those of the super-rich owner. Even if they’re explicitly told to ignore this alignmen

Credit cards create credits (a liability). Debit cards create debits (a nearly immediate transfer from your account). Seems accurate enough to me although I can see how debt and debit could be confused.

It was all over the news, seems pretty astounding to reveal the CEO at the time had no idea any of this was happening!

Since you’re choosing the example here, is there a better one? This is just not a compelling thing even for most technical users, so if this is all we’re missing out on then it seems like a ringing endorsement for Apple’s curation.

Crypto people talk like this to distinguish real projects from ones that were purchased off the shelf and launched by marketers/hustlers. I’m guessing the guy who wrote this is a crypto person who doesn’t realize the slang is so local.

For what it’s worth, your post is wildly inaccurate. To me it reads like the understanding of someone who consumes a lot far-right stuff and cannot discern between online talk show narrative and factual real world events. You might consider
