That describes an approach to solve a problem with using crypto for payments. The problem (bill pay) is already solved in the real world.

Who is this? Why is this notable?

Median days on market is up, sale-to-list is back below 100%, price drops are a thing again, etc. Come spring, we should see the first normal housing market since before the pandemic.

> an inflated mortgage entering at the peak of the housing market

We are well past the peak of the housing market.

This happened last month.[1]

It makes sense that price changes happen outside normal trading hours: public stock markets are regulated such that news is supposed to happen then.

> 1. Not having that much revenue

Twitter had $5 billion in revenue in 2021. Its issue was profitability, not revenue.

> Tether and their banking partner Deltec have very little international backing

Isn't Tether based in Hong Kong?

King County taxes land value as part of our property taxes. If Seattle up-zoned this property, that component of the owner's taxes would increase to reflect the value of its new highest and best use.

It took the article a long time to get to the actual issue, but here it is:

> Building a new four-unit structure

Seattle had a light up-zone a few years ago to allow all SF-zoned lots to add two ADUs (one detached and one attached). Going that route would make this a non-issue. The owner could build a unit for each child without paying any MHA fees.

FWIW, I would love to see the city up-zone across the board to allow multi-family on every residential lot, but that's not happening thanks to an unholy alliance of NIMBYs and anti-business zealots.

They are already banned.[1]

It wasn't clear from the opening who wrote this announcement:

> In December 2020, Ben MacAskill (President and COO of SmugMug + Flickr) asked me to return to the fold to figure out how to revitalize the Flickr Commons program.

So my brain decided that it was Stewart Butterfield, announcing his next move after leaving Slack. But, no, the "me" was Executive Director George Oates.[1]

Money is money from the future. If I give you one dollar today, you value it not because you can instantaneously exchange it for a soda, but because you can exchange it for a soda tomorrow.

Amazon accepts Venmo as of a few months ago.

Not The Onion. Incredibly. Somehow.

> It doesn't mean anything's getting any cheaper.

This is true for the overall price level, but some things did get cheaper: energy (MoM) and used vehicles (MoM and YoY). Minor nit, granted.

Well, it didn't take a year or two.[1]

Tesla's market cap (~$500B) is still five times the combined value of GM and Ford (both ~$50B). There's a lot of air left in that bag.

Presumably with emeritus status, in that case?

Is it possible that your new employer has prioritized making accommodations for folks with ADHD, leading to more of them joining? Many companies don't have a compatible environment/culture.

> Light switches are always at the entrance to a room.

Not necessarily. Open layouts have taken the office and residential markets by storm over the last two decades. Many "rooms" don't have well-defined boundaries, so it's common not to have a switch everywhere someone might enter.

His parents are endowed professors at Stanford Law, so it's not surprising that he learned these skills.

Your writing makes me think you're a bot.

> For a SaaS app, wouldn't that copyright attribution be on the server side, where the code is (hidden from the end user)?

I'm curious about this because the end user's browser is where the (copied) code is run, not on the server. That's why they need to hot-load additional code from Ghost's CDN, rather than doing so on build servers.

If you want labels for misbehavior like that, check out Grice's maxims of conversation.

Check out your local Toastmasters club. Public speaking is part of it, but meetings also feature conversations on a topic.

For me, taking improv lessons helped a lot. It forces you to focus less on trying to be funny (or eloquent) yourself, and more on paying attention and reacting to your scene (or conversational) partner. Doing so in real-time helps with recall, which should unlock (useful) vocabulary, connections, and ideas.

The video reminded me of this tweet of "A live rave happening right now in @decentraland".[1] It's not for me, but I'm glad someone finds it fun.

> publishers and broadcasters put their content on our platform themselves because it benefits their bottom line — not the other way around

They benefit from engagement because Facebook/Meta otherwise monetizes copyright theft without giving them a cut, right?

I don't really understand the question: there are legal differences between (a) entry into the US and (b) travel within the US. The federal government has asserted that there are carve-outs to the Fourth Amendment for the former (the "100 mile" zone), but that's definitely not the case for the latter.

This isn't international travel.
