I'd say C, since that seems most practical given my experience

> you wouldn't expect someone who's an assistant manager at McDonald's to finish their law degree and start a new job as senior partner at the law firm

I think the metaphor's a little off (I have programming experience, and what'd be more apt is a McDonald's corporate ops manager moving into in-house legal after getting law degree + passing the bar), but I get what you meant!

If you were in a similar position, how would you build a portfolio that shows you have programming skills, and aren't just good at prompting?

the construction no longer has to be parallel

Hey, thanks for the context in this thread; I've been working on a project in I7 because I love the form factor of parser &choice-based IF. I'm looking to release the project like a webcomic, with monthly/quarterly chapters, but the backwards compatibility issue in I7 has been a blocker.

In your indie VN dev group, are there any devs working on cross-platform, parser & choice-based VNs (ie I can read a work on mobile as choice-based, but if I want to continue that same save on my computer/ enter commands, I can do that)?

> Google is a solid behemoth

10 years ago, Google promised certain college alumni high storage limits forever. In the past 4 months, Google decreased the storage limits two times, and told users to reduce their GDrive use or have their emails deleted

Didn’t consider the AGI race would lead to the loss of digital archives owned by the few companies that could afford to keep those archives up for free

Put differently: “What has COBOL done for me lately? Can’t we just cut out all COBOL code, and replace it today to save money on paying COBOL cowboys?”

Would be tough to ask donors to give an extra 100mm back, or ask politicians to sell assets during a recession-recovery, during election season for a president (who may have also been a recipient?).

Biggest losers here are the creditors of FTX, BlockFi, and other US persons who need the estate to get back as much money as they can.

Seems like donations are still a lite-immunity pass (he’s still going to jail, but not longer). Also might protect the parents from criminal liability (not civil), which gives credence to a number of ‘political immunity’ conspiracies

In this context it means: -system is built with bearer-style assets in mind to handle liquidations without having a 'negative' balance (so instead of a margin call, onus is on the user to track prices and refill liquidity, otherwise the system liquidates the position to pay back the other market participants involved) - Anyone can put money in this - the smart contracts use other automated markets like AMMs (think of it like a two-way vending machine between Twix and M&M's, where one can set the price between two assets based on how many units of Twix and M&M's they put in initially, and people can trade into and out of them by putting one in, and getting the other. The people who put in both provide liquidity, and they get a portion of the trading fees. These two-way vending machines are set up so that if someone puts a ratio of Twix/M&M's in their vending machine that doesn't match the market price, someone can just arbitrage that out so that the price matches the market. It's like finding the cheapest place to get food

TIL HN doesn't know what stablecoins are.

Stablecoins are basically on-chain gift cards, with each token priced at about a dollar. Some (USDC, PAX, etc) have businesses you can directly redeem the stablecoins in order to get $1 sent to a bank account, and others (DAI, FRAX, UST) have more complex mechanisms to stay at or ~$1.

If you're using a chain that isn't BTC (technically you can use USDT on Omni but almost no one uses it for this), you can probably send the person a stablecoin that is priced at $1 USD.

And yes, people in Nigeria and other EMs do this every day, either for remittances, FX trading, or other reasons (reasons can be legal or illegal, i'm not supporting harm or illegal use cases but at some point we gotta recognize the 'freest' countries either still support race-based class discrimination or legalized slavery, so it's insufficient for the purposes of good faith discourse to throw pseudo mic drop rebuttals that assert legal institutions are infallible).

EDIT: and to pre-empt the "what if the stablecoin goes up to $2 or down to $0.50???" questions: - Centralized stablecoins like USDC, PAX, etc have licensed businesses that use actual banks to store the reserves, so if anyone wants to sell me their USDC for $0.75, please do and jog on - Decentralized stablecoins like DAI have more complex checks nad balances, and with those, unless you're a market maker or doing something that requires a non-top 3 decentralized stablecoin, it's often better to go with the ones that have been audited and/or battle tested, provided it suits your use case.

Tell me you've never used Zelle in the US or a bank wire without telling me you've never used Zelle in the US or a bank wire.

I remember having these notes ingrained into my brain in middle school; at Ithaca, I didn't know a single person who actively used Cornell notes for note taking. That said, actively engaging and re-engaging with content will help you build better internal bodies of knowledge on the subject, so you'll retain the content long after prelims and finals.

The address bar in Chrome shows both the string as a potential search, and URLs in recent history/tabs with that string. Why wouldn't a Handshake-supporting browser do something similar?

Interesting! How does this compare to Angellist or crowdfunding sites like NextSeed/Seedinvest

A snapshot/article summary?

Webpages don't store money in the form of digital tokens that move in accordance to the webpage's logic.

Gold is also a pretty good conductor of electricity

If the transactions are just going to the deposit addresses that exchanges shuffle around, than it's possible that 67% of ETH activity as of late is tied to people sending to and from exchanges.

Bold claim, but it seems it's just the exchanges shuffling deposit addresses, or something to that effect:

You make/invest heavily into an ICO, send your CP/ordered hit/fentanyl proceeds into it, and then sell your ICO tokens for ETH.

Most ICOs don't do KYC; if they're asking for crypto-based investments they likely aren't asking for conventional investors and aren't vetting the speculators who only want to know how long they have to hold the token before dumping on the market

Would you happened to recall what projects/Etudes help you develop your programming skills? Asking for a friend

Thanks for posting that; depending on the site (if you go to equifaxsecurity2017 or trustedidpremer) you see different ToUs.

Equifax has the clause for opting out of arbitration, but Trusted ID Premier's Terms of Use doesn't have it. The enrollment site I've seen is owned by Trusted ID Premier, and it's arguably deceptive that Equifax structured the site as a bat-and-switch to see if their shitstorm exposed you.

Heck, they may have even planned a PR push around telling news outlets to refer readers to that site, omitting that using trustedidpremier.com means that you agree to a ToU that mentions only waiving the right to participate in class-action suits, but not how to opt-out.

If they do something like that in between elections, conservatives will flip.

The sentiment goes something like this:

- Conservatives gave up on minorities, historically stated that the less they vote, the better - Conservatives push the narrative that voting fraud is a big problem, and that the liberals are doing it (many high profile member's of Trump's family/cabinet are registered to vote in many states simultaneously)

- They push for Voter ID laws and push back against weekend voting days, as it makes it harder for hourly/poor/minority voters to show up and vote.

So it would probably be a great idea, but since conservatives consider non-white franchising is an existential threat to their cause, they'll probably scream "state's rights" and block it from happening.

How can we hold Equifax accountable for this? They literally have one job, and have failed so miserably at this one job that about half of the US population has been exposed, regardless of their personal opsec.

Is this grounds for a class-action lawsuit?

A series of defaults where the RAA shrugs after questions about their legitimacy surface, I bet.
