At his level who has had consistently more or the same level of success doing something similar to him? I don’t understand all the Elon hate lately outside of people being bias for the sake of the narrative.

In my experience all the people who are most vocal for WFH are the ones who fall into the “out of sight out of mind” bucket.

Do you think at any point in the last 100 years if drugs were readily available uptake would be low?

I bought my first two houses over the last 10 years and each time I thought we were at the peak, and I was way wrong. First mortgage had over 5% mortgage rate and 2nd was the same.

Outside of closing costs mortgage rates are temporary (can always refi). Land is a finite resource. It should continue to go up.

There will always be insane people in this world. Was Hitler and the nazis radicalized through the internet? Was Timothy McVeigh? Censoring people out of the fear semi casual relationships occurring between them and radicalization doesn’t work.

It’s not like people who apt to deeply believe radical ideas once their source becomes censored they just stop there. Human beings don’t work like that.

I don’t believe libsoftiktok is causing real world harm.

If you’re depositing into a bank or exchange it’s not like 1 person is controlling that entire entities wallet(s). Deposits have the same risk of being misused in crypto as in fiat.

I assume you’re saying the way they prevent misuse is because the ledger is public and it’s trackable by anyone who wants to look at the ledger.

If I’ve mistaken your argument then please correct me. I’m familiar with blockchain and have contributed to multiple projects in the open source community back when I saw potential and promise in blockchain tech.

> Blockchains mathematically prevent the misuse of deposits

Depending on the argument I hear that the ledger is anonymous or not anonymous.

No but with these exchanges collapsing I keep seeing the argument that it people kept everything in a soft or hard wallet then everything would be OK. I disagree with that premise for the reasons prior. Also in the case of Luna and many others their coins are effectively worthless.

That’s equivalent to saying if a bank goes insolvent you should’ve had your money in a safe at home.

For crypto yes you can have a hard wallet, but it can still be stolen from you without anyone physically touching your hard wallet.

I don’t and won’t see the appeal for crypto until it has a killer app that people NEED to use for another reason than “I can get rich quick”

Does apple require Apple Pay for all in app purchases? Why isn’t Apple Pay an option on Amazon?

> You may be trying to simulate a ‘session’ where a client performs many steps in order to achieve a goal. As Gerard Meszaros writes regarding the test smell, this is appropriate for manual tests, but rarely for automated tests.

Integration tests are typically easier to write / maintain and thus are more valuable than small unit tests. Don’t know why the entire premise argues against that.

Difference in those are vaccinations that yield quality, long lasting immunity whereas the Covid vaccine is comparable to the flu vaccine in terms of effectiveness. Also, those are battle tested and widely accepted at this point, but the Covid vaccine was a type of vaccine that reached production for the first time with these.

Did Facebook the entity influence election results, or was it the result of awful guardrails by Facebook the platform?

I’m amazed at the level of distrust and fud from meta when the other side of the coin, google, is much more invasive and people generally enjoy opting into the google ecosystem.

Gmail is reading all of your emails, google maps knows everywhere you’ve been and are probably going to go to, etc

I like to be thrown right into the fire. If I don’t know a language or tech I will piecemeal it together from stackoveflow snippets even if I don’t totally understand it.

There will be bugs inevitably in getting it running, but debugging these give me pound for pound the highest return in learning.

> That markets are entropy machines rougher than a normal distribution, and any gains come directly from information.

Isn’t this partially what this model is accomplishing with sentiment analysis?

Also has there been a lot of investment into sentiment analysis for algo trading? I’m sure there have but references including books would be interesting.

Before covid the trump presidency had good times to those not paying attention to news articles specifically about trump or late night talk shows.
