That is extremely impressive.

So what you're saying is, Chicago property is staying relatively affordable for people who want to buy a home and live in it?

Similarly via a quick Google search:

- "Almost HALF Of San Francisco Residents Considering Leaving City" (according to survey of 500)

- "One in three New Yorkers Considering Leaving The State"

- "Over Half Of Young Lawyers Considering Quitting by 2027, IBA Report."

Look for X people considering Y, and you'll find them. Considering is cheap.

The awful experience of nurses, absolutely, true. But this, like so many others, is a silly poll that doesn't say anything.

Sure! So OpenStreetMap is great, and there’s a ton of data in it. There will be ways to move data from Placemark to OSM, but the main way to edit OSM will still be specialized editors like iD or JOSM.

As much as OSM contains, though, there are limits - data that isn’t “ground truth,” like planned routes or opinionated data, or geospatial data with private information, or data that’s annotations of particular satellite imagery.

Hope that makes things a little clearer! I was part of the team to create iD, the OSM editor, and am a big fan of OSM - Placemark serves a different purpose.

Thanks! Just in case it isn’t clear, geojson.io is from the same folks (okay, folk, me) as Placemark. My hope with Placemark is to keep maintaining it and improving it, while unfortunately geojson.io has been untouched for a few years.

Decentralized web project that became a crypto-oriented decentralized web project. Very sprawling with its own programming language and fancy speak. Founded by Curtis Yarvin, who you should look up on Wikipedia. He's no longer affiliated, but still, look him up on Wikipedia.

If you aren't familiar with Andrew Sullivan, would recommend skimming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Sullivan

Github is not an SPA. They use the middle road of dynamically loading HTML snippets, using webcomponents, and lightweight JavaScript. Any problems you see with most of Github's interface should be chalked up to server-rendered pages with sprinkled JS.

I've tested the macOS build and can assure you it's not vaporware.

Your anti-vax comment history indicates that you may be particularly fond of Joe Rogan.

The current norm is that many products are focusing on the statistically optimal approach - low fee, market returns - and they're competing on price and order execution which benefits individual investors.

And the future is about giving investors more ways to damage their returns by actively trading and arbitrarily customizing their strategy.

What everyone else has said about why there are so few new cleanroom browsers. If you're looking for one of the few examples that isn't based on Blink, Gecko, or WebKit, it's Flow. https://www.ekioh.com/flow-browser/

This seems fine. Fred’s up-front about this being a belief and a bet, not an eventuality. That’s what I expect from investors, and what they should be - along with having basic accounting sense.

Hard agree. And a huge responsibility, one that people constantly fail by driving drunk, distracted, threatening, and killing pedestrians. Cars are often weapons, there’s logic to regulating them as such.

> Even for valid (non-criminal) uses cases, there are numerous laws and regulations that translate into crazy fees to do proper crossboder money transfer.

DeFi would have to follow those laws, right, and would be just as much of a pain to use after it has all of that compliance built in?

Otherwise, what you're doing is just illegal, and the alternative you should be comparing crypto to is something like "hiding money in carseat cushions", not TransferWise, right?

yikes

Having a hard time reconciling the headline about “selling at a loss” with the words “driving up prices.”. Which is it?

See page 90:

> Google ad server employees met with AMP employees to strategize about using AMP to impede header bidding, addressing in particular how much pressure publishers and advertisers would tolerate.

Give it a few decades, it'll still be early, somehow.

Most people didn't own money market accounts or buy collateralized debt obligations in 2008, but the collapse of those things, ahem, affected them.

Yep! Used Heroku at a previous gig (now a mid-size startup), worked great, now on Render.com and it's also great. Also factor in fly.io and railway as quickly-growing platforms in the same PaaS sort of space.

At least in earlier stages, Magic Leap's marketing and communications were fun and accessible. This blog post is pure corporate jargon - "engaged a number of strategic partners to further bolster our support," "accelerated the organization’s pivot to enterprise, brought our industry-leading capabilities to new customers," "our core business objectives remain focused on enterprise solutions, there continues to be intense interest in the application of Magic Leap’s technology in the consumer space"

I assume you've been filing form 8300 with the IRS for those transfers over 10k in value, right?

Right?

Have you seen Coinbase’s margins? They’re taking a bigger cut than any traditional financial actor, and the similar pricing from shops like Gemini suggest that the rest of the crypto industry is, also, rife with middlemen.

Individuals can care or not care about self-hosting wallets, but besides the practical or theoretical concerns about some company having control over it is the fact that the original Bitcoin whitepaper begins with:

> A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

The underlying sentiment here, at least for me, is that crypto churns through thesis after thesis, pitching different usecases and value systems and benefits, and all of them fall flat, and the only remaining reason to be in it is idiotic "number go up" economics, hence the "store of value" thesis which describes everything from gold to dollar bills to a ham sandwich, and demands and describes nothing of the technology.

Check out the investigation that Reagan pursued, the one in which he coined the phrase "Drain the swamp" and anchored the rest of his small-government ideas:

> Be bold and work like tireless bloodhounds, don't leave any stone unturned in your search to root out inefficiency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grace_Commission

You can find something similar in nearly every administration in the last 20 years. Want a Democratic example? Here's Al Gore on Letterman, talking about how government ashtrays are too expensive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQHyK3aUvJs

You can totally argue that government should be more efficient - and there are lots of people interested in that area, many of whom work for governments. But thinking that nobody is interested, or nobody is campaigning, or nobody is trying to create efficiency, is unbelievable.

Did you miss all of American politics from Reagan to Bush, the "era of small government"? Might want to check any political ad or speech from those few decades.

Just checked OpenSea - Google Analytics, Amplitude, DoubleClick, Cloudflare insights, plus error tracking from Sentry.

Zapper has Google Analytics and Amplitude. Click through to 'connect wallet' and you're now sending data to DoubleClick

Zerion has Google Analytics, plus Plausible Analytics for good measure. Then when you click through to "connect wallet", you get some bonus trackers: Cloudflare Insights, Amplitude of course, you get Rollbar for error tracking (which can leak data if misconfigured). There's also Intercom on the page, which collects a little bit of analytics while it's doing its thing.

Diving in a little bit more:

- I can confirm that Zerion sends your wallet address to Amplitude, Sentry, and Plausible Analytics. It also sends the current value of your wallet to Amplitude, when you hit "Buy crypto" or "Send"

Ethereum is, what, 6 years old. Metamask has been in development for 5 years. Bitcoin is 12 years old.

Bitcoin is older than React.js. Ethereum has been around for as long as TikTok. Uber was founded in the same year as Bitcoin and has essentially destroyed a worldwide industry.

At some point these things aren't young or early, they're just stupid.

People are building things like renewed web standards (Project Fugu, for example) and P2P networks (Beaker, Hypercore), and light clients (Mighty). These projects don't get any attention from the "Web3" crowd because they don't involve currency speculation.
