Sadly it looks like your posts are banned. The skills library looks great!

He thinks AAA games are garbage, not because they are online but because they are AAA. Similar to people's opinions about Marvel films and other high budget productions.

Hi cloudpeaklabs it looks like this comment was flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47617426

And now you're shadowbanned.

What's the latest on homebrewing on the actual Xbox 360 these days?

What do you mean by "message me" and "later" in this context?

Reading Matt Levine's latest column on this CBDC was sort of mind blowing. With a truly centralized digital currency the Fed would basically monopolize all bank deposits (why store money in the bank at all when your digital wallet is perfectly safe) and destroy the entire banking sector.

So they are forced to decentralize the currency to some extent, so that banks are the ones to actually issue the currency (after borrowing it from the fed).

Frankly that is the best case scenario for crypto. It's similar to the dot com bubble in 1999 actually, it's 20 years later and the internet is finally somewhat useful and intergrated into our lives. Originally it was just a bubble inflated with ad revenue inflated with investor money

There's some detail on weth.io. apparently ETH is not Ethereum (ERC-20) compatible, if you can believe it.

I'm still kind of confused how ypu go from one ERC-20 chain to another. I know there's wrapped Ether on other chains but I'm not clear on how it got there or whether it's a good idea to hold that. Seems like a "not my keys" situation in a way.

So, could the Ethereum community get together and agree to rewrite the blockchain and undo this transaction? Perhaps they could vote on it and have a hearing of the facts. Of course that introduces its own tyranny but is it possible?

The question is, if you did grab a box and tried to do something with it, how would your dad react?

Apparently if you sell someone an airplane you're on the hook for 18 years of safe operation.

Is there any chance these were somehow the same event, and the universe sort of loops back on itself?

You have the right personality for work-from-home. There are others who need that social interaction in order to be productive.

When I was in the office, most developers had headphones on when working and you wouldn't interrupt them at that time.

I definitely agree that if you're in the kind of role where you can turn off notifications and just put your head down and work, this has probably been a very productive year.

It used to be that you could not IPO unless you were profitable, and furthermore the point of an IPO was to raise money needed to fund growth. But today these companies have raised enough money from VC's that they don't need any more from the public markets. By listing shares and letting these insiders sell, there is more limited supply and great demand, so they can sell tiny stakes for inflated prices. It's really great for VC's and other insiders.

Well Buffett is 90 years old, so there's one example of a lifetime of 20% CAGR.

Yes, in the long run the economy is driven by productivity growth. However there are debt cycles at work:

The world may be near the end of a long-term debt cycle, we will have to see.

In 1996 PE multiples were indeed high and there was indeed a correction. For instance the Nasdaq went from 1300 at the end of 1996, to over 5000, and back to 1300 in 2002. There was obviously productivity growth over 7 years, but valuations are another thing entirely.

Could we get it to stop searching Google from inside the datacenter though

LOL, I see what you did there

You can rest easy knowing that most of these things provide practically no utility to anyone (or even negative utility), and they are simply speculative bubbles.

The best analysis is always against the company itself:

- SBUX instead of buying Starbucks

- MO instead of buying cigarettes (see The Millionaire Next Door for this analysis)

- LVMH instead of buying LV, M, or H

- NVDA instead of buying video cards and AAA games

- CVS instead of shopping at convenience stores

Even if it was true, much of the anti-Wall Street sentiment is a scapegoat for their avarice.

Aren't you supposed to avoid plugins and config so that vi/m will be familiar everywhere you go? That's the advice I've gotten on this board.

Somehow with ublock origin on firefox mobile, my google images search links directly to the original image. It's glorious.

That's a very, very callous take.

I would also probably buy said malicious actors a beer if I met them, accompanied by a high five.

You would, would you? Thousands of individuals who by and large wanted to try out a competitor to Facebook ended up getting their personal details downloaded and leaked (and we're talking about very sensitive details here), and you're going to buy a beer for the criminals who did this? I assume before you turn them into the authorities for their 10-20 year sentences?

Can binance "create new USDT" or do they need to ask Tether to create it for them, exchanging USD?

I don't know if it's me but your site took several seconds to load, maybe 10 seconds, and it was totally blank while it loaded.

Do you love me now that I can dance?

No.

If the video is any indication, the 4-legged robots will take over first.

I found a decent analogy for what I'm talking about:

https://www.history.com/news/beanie-babies-value-criminal-ac...

With a bubble in Beanie Babies there was accompanying fraud and other criminal activity, with most consumers not wittingly participating, but they were affected by it.

So with the asset bubble of the 2000's, this kind of behavior affected everyone, as everyone needs a house.

In another thread I have said I don't blame the masses who may have made bad decisions in hindsight, as they did not have access to all the relevant information. So I do blame the fraudsters, but in the end I really only blame the Fed for keeping interest rates too low, and of course that can circle back around to society as well if you like.
