Well, the article’s focus is on asynchrony. Naturally then, it talks about closures within the context of asynchrony and to the extent that it is relevant.

The author could have made the topic about closures, but that’s not what they wanted to talk about.

You write it on local media and kept it on-premises?

Cloud is the new thing, I hear.

Same here. You may also like “The Big Flower Fight” on Netflix.

Cool! If you do, I’d be curious to hear about your experience.

I know what you’re saying, but at some point you could argue we “ARE eating the wrong thing”, considering our population size.

Said differently, I hypothesize that it would be more practicable to create policies that influence what we eat and how that food is produced, compared to creating policies that try to reduce population size. If anything, it appears that more advanced countries are competing to gain population so that the machinery of their societies can keep chugging along in the name of growth.

EDIT: elsewhere in the thread I see people comment on multi-use of animals vs plants, and the consequent implication of increased use of undesirable synthetics/plastics if we raise fewer animals. Systems get complex, and their behavior can change drastically in surprising ways if you start fiddling. But fiddling we must.

Exactly. Representation, diversity is good for business.

> But i assume that if i ever wear a skirt, nobody would give a damn.

Really? Give it a try for a month.

I would be highly surprised if you don’t get called names, ridiculed, or worse, physically attacked.

And that is if your employer even allows you to wear a dress in the office.

Tidal sound quality is unparalleled IMO.

I’ve got a good set of speakers, and coupled with Tidal’s Master[1] quality recordings, there’s just no way I can go back to something of lower sound fidelity.

Great tip! Didn’t know. Thanks.

Love the audacity of building back better multiple dimensions of our internet experience.

> end the debate about search engine bias by turning search result output over to a community-run filtering system called Goggles

Not sure why something "community-run" would automatically/necessarily solve bias... So looking forward to deeper thinking by the Brave team.

The article you linked to is from 2016 so I found something more recent: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-adoption-venezuela-research

The article I linked to is from crypto folks, so caveat emptor.

No, but anything you didn’t spend while you were alive goes to your heirs (or the state if you don’t have any, or other rules).

So, you do not have to spend everything while alive.

I really wanted to play with RISC OS on my Raspberry Pi 4, but the operating system doesn’t even have wifi support.

This article in the MIT Technology Review seems to disagree: https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/04/10/3060/bitcoin-wou...

Inheritance. Donations.

One of the comments on the article:

“ Banks create money out of nothing. Where does the real wealth in the economy lie?

It’s easiest to see when people get it badly wrong Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe had created far too much money compared to the goods and services available within the economy causing hyper-inflation. States can just create money, and the last thing you want is too much of the damn stuff in your economy. They had made so much money it lost nearly all its value, and they needed wheelbarrows of the stuff to buy anything.

States can create money out of nothing as well. You need the right amount of money in the economy for the goods and services available within that economy. The real wealth lies in the good and services available with the economy and is measured by GDP.

Central bankers actually look at the money supply, and expect it to rise in line with the new goods and services in the economy, as it grows. More goods and services in the economy require more money in the economy. This is the problem with gold and Bitcoin, they are not really flexible enough.”

> (1) Fed policy as well as (2) economic growth and corporate profits (or lack thereof). The argument is that (2) is an inevitability of the market, whereas (1) is political.

The market is influenced by politics more than you might expect, and, conversely, the Fed’s actions are less political that you think.

> it depreciates because of the Fed

The dollar depreciates / appreciates due to various economic factors, not just because of actions by the Federal Reserve.

Then, by your logic, they don’t exist since they got caught on tape.

It sounds like you’re saying “the absence of evidence IS evidence of an advanced alien civilization (because they’d hide)”.

Or do I misinterpret?

> It still is if you acquire US citizenship by naturalization.

No. Notwithstanding the strong language, US law does not require you to relinquish your old citizenship when you naturalize. https://www.usa.gov/become-us-citizen

> Citadel did more trades in one day than the entire market did in one year.

How is that possible? Surely the market must have more transactions than any individual participant?

The article had this but that stood out to me:

“It isn’t possible for everyone to live on principle; as a practical matter, many of us must make compromises in asymmetrical relationships, without the control or consent for which we might wish.”

Even if you could just “go off on your own into space”, you will likely need to transact with other humans in order to survive. Put differently, I think while it is an “option” in principle, it isn’t in reality.

> oppressive societal forces is personal space travel and colonization

Why do you think colonies in space will be different and not see “societal forces” emerge?

Not available in my part of Los Angeles.

Missing the tone. :-)

Space.

there are many paths to Yes.
