Call it a “cryptocurrency” if that makes it sound sexy, but this is still centralized — it’s effectively the same as the (already existing) Messenger Payments.

"The division of labor is limited by the extent of the market"

Revenue != valuation

(but you might still be correct!)

Does "verbal approval" mean... anything, in the context of local construction regulation?

Best of luck to Musk, but there must be a misunderstanding going on here, or he is being somewhat misleading in use of the term "approval".

How'd you get rid of the acne?

I for one would be interested in reading more about how you set this up!

> To my delight Audible managed to get the same narrator.

Stefan Rudnicki (the narrator) is an absurdly good narrator. He regularly narrates the Lightspeed Magazine podcast, a sci-fi short story podcast, if that perchance interests you.

Wow, this gave me the realization I needed about why I've been procrastinating on a project. Thanks.

Scott Alexander [1] has some useful (critical) comments: "significant safety issue" is not necessarily what it sounds like.

Where is Uber available on the secondary market? It's not available through either EquityZen or SharesPost.

This is going to vary massively city to city, just as it does for Uber/Lyft/Grab in other countries.

Know any good longreads on this?

Best of luck :)

Do you know any good overviews of Mendelian randomization?

These kinds of efforts seem to be having great success not just in Australia but at least in the United States[1] as well.

What I don't understand is -- why isn't a similar education, advertising, and taxation effort being made with alcohol? The negative externalities associated with alcohol are mind-boggling[2].

Hm, I wonder if coincap just takes generic cryptocurrency prices and converts them at going exchange rates. I.e., the prices aren't 100% tradeable.

This is cool, but I wish coincap.io was more transparent about their data sourcing. Which exchange(s) is/are they sourcing from? This data can't be coming from ShapeShift (the owners of coincap.io), since prices on coincap.io are in USD while you cannot trade in fiat whatsoever on Shapeshift.

Dropbox does not cooperate well with symlinks. For instance, if you create a symlink in your Dropbox folder to My Documents on Windows, the Dropbox folder will duplicate the My Documents files. Takes up twice the space.
