Obviously there should be limits but what should they be? I actually don’t think asking for phone ids for 30min before and after an event within a limited distance IS overly broad.…

What would you manufacture at scale that would open the straits? If you had an interceptor with a 99% rate of interception (even in such a tight space, and assuming it could interc…

1. Sounds like exactly when early investors and insiders would want to cash in and when retail investors who “have heard of the company and like the product” will buy without a lot…

I have a tradfi background but work in crypto with trading software. The whole industry (except deribit) is a shit show of barely working apis that aren’t reliable or accurate in a…

The most annoying thing about pieces like this is how easy it would be to actually test the hypothesis. They could just give people choline (double blind placebo including some par…

Broadly speaking if the data is on someone else’s computer, it’s in their “house” for the purpose of the search. Cracking open your phone might require a warrant. But basically eve…

Unpopular opinion: the case against him/binance was always that as a non us citizen, outside the us, he failed to obey US law and in a paperwork and licensing sense not a violent o…

I never understand why people don’t pay more attention to “n” in these cases: number of other players. If there are 2 suppliers in a market, they will collude without algos or priv…

The first trillionaire will be whoever owns the patent on mass producing graphene with controlled properties. I worked on that back in 2006. As far as I can tell no progress has be…

Gamblers anonymous should offer a service where if you are struggling with betting addiction you give them your account and they sell it to a “sharp” who profits until you are bann…

https://www.betfair.com/ Does exactly this. Odds are just set by supply and demand and you pay a small fee per bet.

The UK has a bunch of deeply divided issues: 40% want lower house prices and rents (tenants and would be buyers) and 40% want higher house prices and rents (landlords and owners). …

Chiming in as a Brit: I m generally opposed to this. I already have a passport and that is digitalised and universal. Why not just use that? The UK has a bad habit of launching the…

Um… This seems like a nothing burger. Microsoft jointed an NGO that pushes nuclear that most people have never heard of. If they were investing a 100bn in nuclear that would be int…

Would you rather pay up front and get a warranty or sign a long service contract with high bills? The answer is the latter because paying more later is a form of borrowing, but not…

I broadly agree. Since us brits left I wondered if there would be a big move to more effective government. But apparently not? I think the most interesting thing about the EU is we…

Before trump the us was stopping it Trump is encouraging it. And specifically in the area of defence. Source: https://www.csis.org/analysis/why-its-time-reconsider-europe... It’s q…

Weird: My YouTube feed is suddenly (as of last night) full of “Landman” shorts and I was trying to work out wtf it even is? This makes a lot more sense now, thanks.

I think we’re at risk of confusing 2 issues here 1. Has the pressure for more intervention and an EU armed forces gone up? 2. What will that look like, who will pay for it, who wil…

The US has spent decades preventing and delaying the EU becoming a defacto state with a single army and significant foreign policy. Now trump is driving its creation in a single te…

This is true in an ideal world where we have unlimited resources and all other services are already fully funded. But that is not the world we live in. How many laptops will you re…

That’s tax evasion. Money laundering is disguising the source or use of funds (making illegally sourced cash look legally sourced). Plenty of people would (do) happily pay some tax…

The UK has a bunch of serious issues. But actually fixing them would require hard decisions. So our government wants to look like it is frantically working to achieve these things …

Ummm, the law cited by the Chief clearly states the guard can be called to assist by the senate sergeant at arms OR the house sergeant at arms OR the Capitol Police board. Pelosi d…
