You make it seem like that was a goal

More likely some key management died allowing the line of succession to punt it onto the markets for a new piggy bank

google some posters by Josef Muller-Brockmann from the 50’s - they still appear to be designed in 2019

these would make for a kickass site and app designs

its easier to trust private hackers than organizations that have the law on their side

society works with mutual cooperation and hackers seem to understand that more than the "technically cooperating in this context" that the legal field would employ

I always wonder if this is a design flaw, or if there is another completely worse state that the body is trying to prevent happening, a state we don't even know about until we have "cured" inflammation and all these other diseases

sort of like how we wouldn't be studying a lot of this stuff right now if such a large portion of the population hadn't gotten so old

so weird that we live in two totally different worlds, this was a completely benign announcement to me, but to you all of this cognitive dissonance has flooded your mind

what I saw: Hm Stellar has a Development Fund, and people within Keybase' engineering team that wanted cryptocurrency security to be easier so less people get scammed

what you saw: questionable corporate goals because things involving cryptocurrency involve people getting scammed

fascinating, to say the least, it is a perspective.

ban on the use of facial recognition technology by police and all other municipal agencies

I'm not even sure if the article is what you responded to

Private sector and their partners can all still use it

Sell shovels during a gold rush, whats the problem?

If you are disillusioned then its time for something new

The tulip bubble is the worst poster child of asset bubbles and irrational exuberance

But at this point, I don't think it matters. Colloquially, saying 'tulips' gets the point across. People know that you are criticizing the exuberance or volatility of an ephemeral asset. People know what asset price distortion you are comparing it to.

it isn't, someone wrote about it on an irrelevant site, someone posted it here and it trends here

it just opens the discussion on this general topic, but nothing really about the specific thing being discussed

Not on the areas people were concerned about regarding human rights

My parents followed the “ADHD is overdiagnosed these other kids just need discipline” script.

My brother as an adult was able to self diagnose and just try adderall(or was it ritalin) since even non-ADHD people get benefits concentrating with it, and yeah that worked out well for him, he doesnt continue using it and can approach professional work more holistically. I would attribute a lot of his academia challenges and underperformance to undiagnosed ADD/ADHD. Works great for the coked out party scene though. Got to swim in the right environment.

I dont have the above experience, but I did take an in person class at a college recently. Havent otherwise done formal education in almost a decade. The first couple of sessions I was fidgeting and couldnt stand sitting still, which was shocking to me but I got acclimated after that. I cant imagine what children are going through, I think our environment isnt helping

It is more important to clone it, so that you have a local copy on your PC

forking is just a gesture, especially for obviously hot repos. a takedown of 1 can takedown all the forks

The key takeaway that some people will have had from Cambridge Analytica, is not 'they got caught, don't do this', but rather 'they were largely successful and incredibly cheap'.

When you file things in court between private individuals, or for a government indictment, it becomes an instruction manual. Scrap whatever internet marketing handbook you ordered, disregard whatever guru you are following and hoping to trust, these court filings are the canonical source on what successful people are doing online.

dark web insurance policy which pays out if they are caught

Well, they could now, but I don't really think the market is that mature.

Larger organizations behind drug-peddling conglomerates are adequately hedged and diversified and can withstand a big shipment failing.

well I'm actually pretty good at my job and work with integrity

but arbitrary screening questions for interviews and silly coding exercises have no bearing on that

I can pretend for an interview

I’ve blended in pretty well all through upper management

It is hugely lucrative...

Make a quadrant chart of ways to make money with assets. The X-axis is margins and the Y-axis is overhead costs. You could even add a Z-axis for weight as you need the ability to transport a lot for scale. There are very few assets with comparatively low overhead costs, high margins, and low weight.

You pretty much just have only drugs, share dilution and - as of this decade - cryptographic tokens. They all pretty much invoke the same highs.

Worth it.

Its more about what the bar is: you are talking about masters

And other people are looking for confirmation that proficiency is possible or that the differences are quite narrow

you want to prove the possibility of an extreme, and I want to prove that most adult just make excuses as the pseudoscience that says adults worse at learning is convenient for all cognitive circumstances

And a subscribe to his patreon link to monetarily support his other shenanigans

Why not?

There is a patreon page linked right on his twitter page. He may not be exchanging time for food and shelter, but he is playing the same marketing game as anyone else for a personal high score.

linking to a blog he has to maintain would drop engagement off a cliff

High speed trains go through city centers and are vulnerable to bombs

Less clickthroughs = more engagement = better viral loop

Thats the why, since you asked

If you have an asset and someone pays for that asset with a more liquid asset, then you now have that more liquid asset

In this case Uber Inc exchanged illiquid stock for liquid dollars.

Why the semantical debate? Did the use of the word “make” really bother you? What about when there is dilution like in most funding rounds? Shares of equivalent value are literally made. In this IPO Im not sure if that happened with the sale to the underwriters or not.

This kind of asset exchange is what we are all trying to do, exchange one asset for a more liquid one, dollars. They succeeded in doing that to the tune of 8.1 billion usd. The same us dollars that give access to everything in the global financial system via wire transfer.

Is this more than a Regulation ATS approval?

If this is a national stock exchange, then that would be fitting for silicon valley and California. If bankers here would like to take other parts of the transaction for IPOs and direct listings it could really be a boon for the state and remove a lot of the pressure from New York investment banks, as California is economically larger than other most countries with relevant financial centers. On many lists, California is only in 5th place GDP worldwide because the United States as a whole is above it and double counts California.

That's an interesting definition of "made"... assumes the concept of liquidity has no meaning.

Thats interesting definition of "literally traded a bunch of shares to underwriters in exchange for $8,100,000,000 and let the underwriters worry about liquidity on the stock exchanges"

Uber has dollars for the shares they sold. Liquidity is not a concern for the party of the transaction I talked about.

doesn't matter, made $8,100,000,000 in a day

should really start looking at this from the underwriter and issuer perspective to understand the success story here. Retail buys ticker symbols that have been marketed to them. Everyone else dumps. Company made a ton of money and can do whatever it wants with it, they gain nothing from secondary market trading today. VCs, founders and employees can't sell for another 60-90 days, but founders can give themselves big bonuses (and employees too but I mean.. lets be honest)

they should leave it as is

total war of attrition just to make property prices rise by 65% instead of 70%

Which authority in Canada is caring at all?

Vancouver, BC, Federal government?

ah I wrote a similar response highlighting the massive resources spent on whitelisting transactions

or just stop using public money on whitelisting transactions, how much resources is British Columbia spending on trying to flag transactions. The best they got after all of this is a report from GERMANY talking about it, and now they are lobbying the Canadian federal government for MORE resources to combat it, WHY? To what end? So that housing prices rise 65% instead of 70%? WOW okay, and regarding the lofty goal of stopping terrorist financing how about looking at all the terrorist attacks that didn't happen with all those billions disappearing where the origin was unknown and now the current unknown recipient has integrated it into the economy completely indistinct from everyone else.

The funny thing about "dirty cash" and money laundering is that this designation is reserved for AFTER you discover what the origin of the money was AND ALSO have seen it converted into a clean source. The action of converting it into a clean source doesn't make it dirty before hand, hence no money laundering. The onus is on the government. Money laundering itself just being an added on charge to help make an indictment stick, when you can't actually pin the crime to acquire the dirty money on anyone. How much would that cost British Columbia to figure out? Would be the dumbest use of public coffers
