Alameda's story has many parallels with Celcius (and 3AC): if something happens that proves Alameda is insolvent, will you return to this analysis and hold the same viewpoint, that it's unhelpful to consider that their solvency ma

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but just in case it's sincere: Alameda are considered a lynch-pin of the crypto industry, they're holding up pretty much everything... and by extension, FTX is far more important than K

I disagree. The internet has increased the reach of individuals by many orders of magnitude: we (humanity) are experiencing the consequences of something we're not equipped for, but that isn't the fault of Twitter or Facebook, it&

sure, “no closer” is hyperbole and in the most literal sense of the phrase, we are closer because time has passed… but in the practical sense, we are closer today because testing is going well and so permission has been granted to expand te

The situation you describe is real, sure. However, the situation you describe is far from the majority of recruitment. Most companies have a budget, most companies have a salary framework. Yes, in the minority of situations in which a compa

The situation you're describing is no different to 5 years ago: autonomous vehicles exist but can only operate in a limited environment. That's where Waymo was 5 years ago, it was just an even more limited environment. Read the &q

Filler article that adds nothing. A different article about Binance’s role in the deal quoted Binance as saying (paraphrasing) we have no idea what musk is doing or thinking, he doesn’t even acknowledge us, we are just along for the ride .

Actors don't change their name because they're changing their identity, actors often act under a different name because they are required to have a unique name to participate in certain organisations (e.g: screen actors guild). An

You might benefit from a (small) shift in mindset: what's bad about "bot traffic"[1] and if it is bad, is it bad enough to justify sacrificing user experience? People can get caught up in protecting against something hypothet

That's not an option any more. GitHub used to offer this, but as of about 12 months ago, the policy changed and they will not release a name that is inactive regardless of how long it has been inactive.

If you don't want a framework, why do you want a framework? Picking an old, barely-used framework because it pitches itself as "fat-free" is a mistake: either use a good, modern, widely-used framework (like Laravel or Symfony

xml via ftp is used across many industries because these systems are decades old: there are many suitable replacements — the problem is not that there isn’t solutions, it’s that changing old systems is very hard. Bitcoin doesn’t solve that.

There’s lots of opportunities to induce a service to send an email to an arbitrary address — e.g: I sign up for a LinkedIn account with your email address — so there’s a few common patterns that could be used. For example, the first time an

Hotel is a room, Airbnb is a home. The difference in amenities is important and when, historically, Airbnb was cheaper, it was often superior to a hotel. Nowadays, Airbnb often costs more than a hotel, and so it’s a trade-off: pay more to h

At which point you’re taking on a huge risk for less savings, savings that’ll shrink over time and introduce new challenges: after-all, doubling the remaining employee’s salaries gives those employees all the power when it comes to negotiat

That's been the narrative for many years, though. The idea that "...they're unprofitable by choice in pursuit of growth..." is indistinguishable from a bad business model. Most locales already have Uber alternatives that

Do you need to create greenhouses and raise vegetables from the start? My understanding is that a coop (like any business) is a means to an end and so you can start out by leveraging what is effectively group buying to source high quality f

the impending court case is probably a bigger motivator. better to do a 180 now and control the narrative than lose in court, I guess.

Yeah — TypeScript is great in a vacuum, and if you’re working on an established project that’s got all the tooling configured perfectly it can be a pleasure… but if you’re starting from the ground up, it can be a god awful nightmare. I thin

I don’t think it’s the YouTube economy so much as it is the creative economy. If you produce creative content, you are at the mercy of the whims of your audience. Even in profitable or well-funded businesses, there’s a constant existential

Modern fake meats (Beyond, Impossible etc) are unmistakeably superior to legacy fake meat. I don’t know what you were served, or how it was prepared, but if it was indistinguishable from 90s microwave “meat”, it wasn’t representative. You s

SBF is not the horse, and he has a vested interest in ensuring that the market believes that the market is not built on sand. Bitfinex and Tether have a history of fraud, of losing money, for Tether to be backed today would mean Bitfinex&#x

I don't think the first part of that is true. That pace is a ~25 minute 5k which most reasonably healthy adults could build up to quite quickly; you certainly don't need to be a "well conditioned athlete" to do 5 miles a
