    I've found ChatGPT 4o (the voice one) to be useful, I just need to prompt it first by saying `Whatever you hear in Chinese, say in English, whatever you hear in English, say in Chi…

    Well if you take it to the point of absurdity, then we only have to maintain a competitive market for grain and water.

    I closed your website instantly as soon as it played a sound, it's pretty bad it does that. When I try to click on the whitepaper button, the click actually goes to the globe. I am…

    I know for a fact that normal people use crypto in Venezuela, albeit through apps and Binance. Their currency is crap and USD was outlawed for a while. I got the info first hand re…

    You get to call it stupid, you don't get to cut someone's water or electricity off because you think they have a stupid opinion. Same should go for having the ability to pay for st…

    They don't have to be sitting there. A startup with a good person running finances will also have short term investments (should not be S&P though). Not sure about all startups in …

    Not a dumb question at all. AFAIK it is the amount, in the USA it's $250K. Other countries have similar situations, most of the EU is 100K €.

    If sufficiently motivated, take pics with your phone. With a good camera, you could minify a lot of code into a tiny font size, take a photo or multiple photos, and OCR them later.…

    I am not the best person to address everything point by point as I am not putting enough thought into it, but perhaps I could point (heh) you in the right direction. Sure you could…

    I don't see them as bragging. The first part of the paragraph is their previous "hard-working" perspective, and later comes understanding of the people they were looking down on.

    For one, people who live under oppressive regimes.

    It can get a bit impossible. I recently wanted to watch Don't Look Up with Croatian audio (am Croatian, I know it's stupid but I thought it would be funny) and Chinese subtitles (b…

    Sorry if I assume too much, but I think you'd be thinking quite differently if you had to consider buying your first home on the French riviera now, on something like a 60.000-100.…

    This is kind of overstated. From what I remember, it only makes addresses vulnerable after you spend from them, and in all likelihood the network would migrate to a resistant algor…

    To illustrate the point even more, if it's an average sized bar they'd still be billionaires on average.

    IMO that's a problem with Uber's pricing model. If the destination doesn't have enough people requesting new rides, the price to that destination should be higher. If the price acc…

    Can you name a few such countries. I live in the EU, but when you have a business in my country you are always breaking some rules no matter what, and a lot is up to the discretion…

    Perhaps those harder jobs should be paid more and people would then apply.

    I would disagree in the case of platforms which are monopolies. Or in this case let's call it a triopoly because they collaborate on things like this. Same like how public utility …

    Daylight savings might get in the way, especially if daylight savings rules change some time later.

    It'll make things harder but I'm not sure how much. However, as far as I know there isn't such a great number of displaced. I don't have exact numbers but mostly only pre-WWII buil…

    Depends on what tech and approach you're using. Some people use migrations to create DB tables, for example. Or seed initial data like, say, what user roles exist.
