that was incredibly stasifying for me to watch though

as far as I can tell this is what inx.co is doing and they are about to launch. interesting company sounds like they have lofty plans and an executive board that has some interesting people (former nyse and tsx execs). both a platform for 'traditional' crypto but also building an exchange for fully regulated 'digital assets' a la digital representations of stocks etc

as someone who has an ocd need to get the 4 line tetris clear this triggers me

I think digital currency in the CBDC (central bank digital) sense is that its "programmable money." For example my understanding is that the beta testers (my term) for the e-yuan literally have 30 days to spend the currency through alipay or whatever they're using or it disappears forever. I'm sort of looking at it as a combo of regular money and smart contracts but thats just me.

Interestingly Jim Bianco (who you may see regularly on old-financial media) argues that all of these currencies will fail in favor of the defi stuff that's already being spun up. For example by the time fed coin is even being tested (2025) the technologies behind cryptos will be so mature that the tech the us fed is using (from 2015) will be dead on arrival

I was keto for six months a year or so ago and definitely felt sharper at the time as well. Turns out I like carbs more than clear headedness

Same. I'm not a fully qualified sys admin but I do have access to a number of our servers (I'm more of a full stack generalist than an expert at anything) and I immediately go to netdata when one of my services isn't acting right. For me its a nice 'system at a glance' where I can check on the host and then alert someone more knowledgeable than myself if there's something that looks off

Woke crazies try to impose their ideology on others by complaining and shaming on the Internet.

I would argue that what ebay is doing is simply a permutation of this idea. Woke companies deciding what is and what is not suitable for you to spend your money on (shaming you for not spending your earned value on something 'worthy'). Meanwhile they don't seem to have a problem with mein kempf or however its spelled.

One interesting statistic is that more people dropped below the poverty line in the united states this year than any other year recorded to date.

Much like occupy wallstreet didn't really kick off until well after the 2008 financial crises, the impact of what is happening now in the economy will not be clear for several more years

correct me if I'm wrong but haven't all the mRNA vaccines skipped human studies / have 'emergency use' certification

probably good that ex cia chief john brennan is a regular pundit in the mainstreem media

Utah Goldbacks seem like an interesting alternative https://goldback.com/

So, isn't the implication here that quarantining people in apartment buildings is going to be equally ineffective?

I feel like it is much too soon to disregard deep fakes as mostly harmless

I'm in at any level I can get a hat with that logo on it

In grad school I had a corporate finance professor that said when you see the CFO leaving it's almost always a bad sign. Finance guys don't leave when everything looks like it's going to be smooth sailing for years to come

I'm in my 30s and when I gave up pot my cognition quickly improved...

My understanding is that the original idea was to do a partnership / use BNSF rails (for some reasonably "small" fee [I think I heard $30-40 mil]) which were preexisting but then BNSF decided that the rail could only be used during certain time windows when it wouldn't effect their industrial traffic; OR RTD could pay something like $550 million. Not sure if the 23 years is to collect the tax for that cost or what.

I live in Longmont; one of the cities promised a light rail connection in 2004. So far RTD has collected more than $44 million in taxes and has pushed the completion date of our section of the rail to beyond 2040. This is why I am still driving my car. I don't care how the transit 'looks and feels' -- I just want it to exist.

"Kill Decision" by Daniel Suarez spins this topic in to a great work of fiction.

I always thought open offices became popular because it was literally the cheapest set up for facilities. For startups it worked because all you had to buy was desks. Somehow that got spun in to 'open offices are so sexy!'

Open offices are horrible for productivity imo. Moved to a job with an office and it is so. much. better.

I temporarily disabled ghostery yesterday and ended up visiting the LA Times. Without an adblocker the loading / performance / experience was horrific! Long live the ad-free web!

The hiring process is overly complicated as we're only loosely affiliated with the university but our hiring process has to go through them. It's also quite slow for this reason - it took me several months of contacting people before I was hired as well. Leadership here has been working with the university to smooth this process out (as well as other processes we needlessly have to go through the uni for.)

I've put my email address in my profile; if you want to hit me up with the job / manager you applied for I'll see if I can dig anything up for you. FWIW its worth the wait / effort; it's a very cool place to work

My sister started as a programmer 30 years ago but jumped into management [...] My sister has 10X the assets I have.

This also has SO much to do with OPs lifestyle / propensity to save. "The millionaire next door" goes a long way in explaining how even lower income households can accumulate much more wealth than many high income earners with simple lifestyle differences.

Just chiming in with anecdotal evidence that I've used this package to edit remote files for years. It might just be some sort of scp mechanism though; can't remember as I haven't used it for quite some time (for unrelated reasons.)

Very cool - going to hand this off to some of my colleagues to play around with

hmm yea my memory might have adjusted it to a trial period -- looks like many of the most useful features are crippled in the free version.

Looks like Burp Suite. Sweet web proxy tool -- https://portswigger.net/burp/ Free for 14 days I think.

Ya. I don't have any exposure to options currently. Really I'm barely even a swing trader more of an investor. I did notice that the price could go up substantially if you were looking for data on futures / e minis etc.
