True, I think the HN moderators have an anti-crypto mandate. Which is odd considering Coinbase was a YC unicorn. Besides AirBNB how many unicorns did YC finance throughout the year…

What you wrote is an invention. Code is law came from, let's say, "techno utopians" that really believed you can programatically organize this way. See the concept of DAO for examp…

Same question to you: is there a written order from the President saying this? Is it public somewhere? If not, it's just PR.

Is there a written order from the President saying this. Is it public somewhere? If not, it's just PR.

No he did not. He gave a "direction". Which, legally, means almost nothing. > “Going forward, consistent with the President’s direction, this Department of Justice – in a change to…

Oh, he is. But it's good PR to make positive statements while doing whatever you want.

Go away troll.

You are downvoted but I can confirm the only time I was almost assaulted as a tourist was in the Paris metro. Then I came outside and it looked like a Mad Max scenario with somebod…

The US can tax US corporations anyway it sees fit. What do other countries have to do with it? Read the subtitle: >The Biden administration wants other countries to back a minimum …

Precisely. But instead of solving this problem inside US they want to re-engineer the whole globe. Most countries are mad about multinationals, most of them rich US multinationals.…

Last I checked the US tax code does this already. If the US tax rate is higher you pay the difference!

Thank God the US is taking charge of the GLOBAL finances. What could go wrong!? This is ladder pulling. Who needs smaller countries competing on fiscal rates when all tech should b…

Meh, aren't cross-Atlantic flights potentially re-routed through US soil? Isn't it common that flights to Canada need to make an emergency landing which conveniently allows US cust…

It's not paranoia if you are right.

Not sure how this is a problem since I assumed most cloud providers severely control and throttle IO.

BitCoin mining is also a lottery. I could stumble on a good hash using my own CPU. But the odds are in favour of the farms with ASICs.

What I've read is that one has to distribute the portfolio across a risk spectrum. A big % to very low risk / low yield instruments (say, bonds), a medium % to blue chip stocks, a …

You know... what I am curious, does this logic make sense? Why wouldn't a given % be allocated to lotto tickets?! Quite curious from a risk/reward portfolio formula.

Even assuming more Kotlin devs are coding gods (BIG if), the sheer number difference means you have where to pick good Java devs from. Plus... if Kotlin really is the new hotness a…

Ooh, so it's not only about killing but overall suffering. Because they do kill the bugs but animals don't generally eat the whole plant, only part of it. The plant still survives.…

But plants also suffer, right? Also, if individual numbers count we might as well raise buffalo.

It's Chinese space junk so clearly very terrible. Unlike Western space junk which would "most likely" fall in the ocean.

Well, considering there's tens of millions of space junk already I wonder which countries/institutions are currently not doing a good job at that?! NASA and US would be top of the …

Cheap international wires are $25.

Breathable micro-plastics doesn't sound nice.
