    The purpose of prediction markets is to communicate insider knowledge.

    I'll give that and agree the underlying is a quibble.

    No one is forcing you to give birth in a hospital. Rational people do it at home all the time to this day.

    I'm sure if the original developer bothered to show up again he could fix it in a weekend.

    HN users want to know if you're allowed to host the whole Internet on it.

    Wait until you hear about how much wealth Salomon Bros extracted from the market.

    I suspect the root argument is really against the efficacy of markets and capitalism as a useful system for humanity, in which case I say that is a fair debate. The benefits are ha…

    Lol same. Wasn't there something like it in System 7 that also got deprecated. I think back then it was called "Launcher" ... https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Launcher Launching seems…

    How does this play out? They pay a fine? Tim Cook is extradited? Something in between?

    Is the voltage the reason power lines are buried in Europe? I do wish we would do so in the US.

    Correct. It would be hard to find a stock where some combination of these players were not the largest shareholders based on the aggregation of all their managed funds.

    This might be downvoted due to the FED finger point, but that aside it is exactly right. A responsible banker would have invested in floating-rate securities or hedged the fixed-ra…

    I've found NestJs to be a very thoughtful application framework. I'd argue it demonstrates pro-level typescript coding. https://github.com/nestjs/nest

    > My concern is how much funding FTX and SBF in particular were giving to EA/AGI Safety research labs and charities. Did a malicious AI orchestrate this downfall?

    Rich people got them in the 1890s. $10 a "roll" back then; ~$300 today. You had to mail the camera back to Kodak to get the film developed. https://web.archive.org/web/200903062214…

    This is a strawman and no one would actually design a messaging app using a NoSQL db like that. Typically one would employ a strategy to fan-out data such that the message document…
