I genuinely laughed. It seems like after every media, government, celebrity and politician, who can be bought, has been bought, and every sucker pilfered, then this thing will finally come to its horrible end. I did not…
The late David Graeber helped shape grounded ideas on money. His book entitled "Debt: The First 5000 Years" cover the topic, but he also discusses the core ideas in interviews freely available on YouTube.
The USD is backed by 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, 68+ nuclear submarines, 8725+ tanks, 1,359,685+ military service members, a police force and one IRS that makes damn sure taxes are paid in USD or "damn would be a…
This reads like a high school student council wrote a financial research booklet and then took themselves seriously.
Is this just protifing on a topical craze or does this have staying power? What experience does in-game NFTs offer to players that they otherwise cannot find in traditional database backed assets?
This is a good point. Black markets are indeed part of the real economy, whether governments and people like it or not. That being said, regulation is inevitible.
It's great the author has found success and carved out a niche. However it's quiet a stretch for them to speak as an authority, to assert truisms about video games. Several other commentators have great counter…
Their new logo looks like a sagging pair of tits.
FWIW Shopify used nix-shell for the developer environment. If all they need to do is import standard packages - it's actually quiet a good solution for multi-platform dev environments.
Yeah. We've used it on servers. It's good in a small setting where a handful of Nix experts can run the infrastructure show. Getting it to scale to an organisation of hundreds wasn't feasible. As soon as we needed to…
Biggest fraud, yet.

That's quiet an extremist statement. There's quiet a few ticks on the continium from nuclear fallout bunker to a few months of food and water.
And the other 18% is probably "non-profitable" ads e.g. YouTube.
Landlords are levereged to the tits. They are a few mortgage payments away from foreclosure. These are acts of desperation.
The Japanese stock market is so completely different from the West - you can draw no applicable conclusions.

Google has net income of almost $30.7 billion and payed only $4.2 billion in tax. If they gave all 2,300 cafeteria workers a raise of $25,000 that would reduce their net income from $30.7 billion to $30.64 billion.…
That would be funny. Their engineer employment motivation boils down to: Come to Google and be comfortable.

I just cannot understand how rational engineers would choose untyped languages like Python or Ruby for large scale systems. Humans make mistakes - even very smart humans make frequent mistakes - and blast radius grows…
Our two positions are not mutually exclusive. The price of even a top-line gaming rig could drop significantly over the next 10-20 years.
