It was their money in the first place.

1) Effectively no. I don’t think they even care anymore.

2) Rich people had more power under POW—miners aren’t cheap. What matters is the enforcement mechanism. Slashing remains a risk to every validator regardless of stake weight.

Given that this tweet

> brokerage accounts are SIPC-insured, cash associated with brokerage accounts is managed into FDIC-insured accounts at our partner bank

is still up, I imagine the imprecision of the statement is what the FDIC took issue with.

Unsubstantiated guess: insane P/E ratios became the norm and maintaining them is harder when you’re raising salaries.

They've arguably already hit it. Apple has been testing overengineered features that are suspiciously well suited for AR in broad daylight for a few years now. If they can't pull it off, I don't think anyone can.

Americans across the political spectrum are generally very okay with invasions of privacy, excessive force, rights violations, etc. as long as they’re targeted at the “right” people (criminals that deserve it). They’re incredibly difficult issues to advocate for because most people either a) think the victim deserved it for being a criminal, or b) would eventually think the same given a wide enough selection of victims.

This is most obvious in soccer and basketball where you’ll see two similarly skilled players almost get stuck in place trying to predict the other’s next move.

What we need is a portable digital license. Like a card we can store in a sort of internet wallet and present to storefronts to get access to a game. That way publishers wouldn’t be able to bully customers to the extent they currently do.

No way the gaming community would be opposed to such a thing.

Meanwhile, CS is reaping the benefits of a decade and a half of pushing the “Anyone can code!” narrative. CE and EE’s disdain for juniors and rampant credentialism will inevitably become a national security issue.

The main difference is not being PayPal: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=paypal+account

Personally, I think they were a bit generous there.

I’m not sure what it is but it’s gotten significantly worse over the past few years and I’ve stopped recommending it to new game devs.

It’s in a weird spot as one of the biggest successes in gaming history while also representing one of the biggest fumbles in gaming history.

Pokémon Go with a more aggressive turnaround time could have easily been Fortnite x10.

Yep, it has almost the same feature set as the dev API. You can get really specific without knowing what exactly you’re searching for.

Very common. I suspect they slowed down post-2020.

Edited. Thanks.

I find Rust much easier to hold in my head as well. It’s reduced the need for mid-session, “just-in-case” compilations to the point that building sometimes feels like a formality.

That blew me away before I even finished the paper.

After a certain point, cheating at scale is just studying.

When they say “close” it’s usually referring to the candle chart on some timeframe. In this case the previous 24h candle closed in the mid ~$26500s and dropped ~$3200.

Sure, but that’s more “my politics” than “apolitical”. Their messaging should reflect that.

> But I'm also a "weirdo" who doesn't like Apple-made hardware

Please, it’s not that weird of an opinion.

> (the trackpad […] are all inferior IMO)

Oh.

But I think I agree when it comes to anything like drag-and-drop.

Useless assets going to zero is business as usual in the field. It happened last time, and the time before that, and the time before that.

> Nobody wants to do a job where they could get shot in the face during a traffic stop and still be demonized by society for it.

I heavily doubt that's what they're being "demonized" for.

I wouldn’t be surprised if over 50% were aware, but whether they’re strongly favorable enough to buy one at the moment is up in the air.

There are a lot of F150s though, and the Lightning’s design is distinct enough that it advertises itself even with a tiny fraction of owners actually converting.

Also, the ridiculous things people are going to try towing with that much torque will win some over as well.

Of course, it’s an architecture decision. They do different things and different considerations may lead you to one or the other.

It makes the most sense when you're managing liquidity between multiple parties. I bet it would still be a logical next step if they couldn't get a PR boost off the hype.

It sounds like the “sheep” in question are pushing very strongly in a direction but just not one the author likes. Is letting people talk to you and your cohort anyhow more sheeplike than standing up for them?

$42 million of real people’s money was lost. That’s a net negative to society whether or not it shows up on a balance sheet.

The last few weeks (months, really) has highlighted an incredible lack of discernment in the VC-verse wrt the thing we call web3. Now. I have no experience doing what YC does and don’t claim to, but the jig here was so transparent that the smallest drop of “street smart” should’ve been enough to set off some alarms.

We’re approaching a point where being passed over for “culture fit” is a compliment. Hopefully the embarrassment is enough to expand the founder vetting checkboxes.
