This is part of my question. How does Google provision VoIP numbers? When someone calls / texts a VoIP number from a normal number, that call / SMS travels over normal wireless infrastructure. So VoIP numbers are still connected to the same infra, right?

no, of course not. (nice straw-man attempt, btw)

Just the way boards of companies have fiduciary duty, there should be some of sort customer information protection duty that companies are responsible / liable for. basic security practices are being neglected at far too many companies.

they pay-off / trick a T-Mobile employee into re-assigning your Google Voice number to them. It's happened before with Google Fi, but I haven't seen any public information about this happening with Google Voice (yet)

why do you think that? Presumably Google Voice uses a phone company downstream, which means if that company is hacked they can reassign your number to someone else and thus you have the classic SIM jacking attack.

Do we know if Google Voice also uses T-Mobile? If not, might be worthwhile to switch SMS 2FA to the Voice number if a service allows voip numbers.

an executive or two in jail and we'll sure enough see security magically happen.

I know that you know exactly what they meant by “crypto solves this”, but you’re just be snarky here and that’s okay

this is cool

I'm not batting for either team here, but you just linked one of the PayPals of crypto - ie a company that holds onto your funds on your behalf. So it's not really a rebuttal to their comment.

In a classic PM fashion, Sundar couldn't resist taking all the credit for this launch.

The thing about Stratechery is that it generally sounds really smart (and therefore correct) IFF you are not an expert in the topic discussed.

But if you are an expert, you notice that Ben is often very wrong in his analysis. Makes you question your trust in the rest of this views.

Agreed.

https://example.com/app might be a SPA and https://example.com/profile might be server rendered and https://example.com/blog might be a static site. And that's great!

Pick the right tool for the job :)

But in all seriousness, the web has websites, it has apps, it has games. Pick a tool that's appropriate for the job and forget about what is the past/present/future.

yes. yes it is.

In SF I pay around 45cents per kwh. These rates in Europe don't seem that absurd to me as a result.

Yep, that's how I interpreted it to. The following things are still unclear to me:

- if you ACH push/pull funds from your other banks accounts into FTXus, are those funds held in that Evolve Bank checking account (therefore being FDIC insured)?

- if you deposit some crypto/stables and sell to USD, are those funds deposited into the Evolve Bank account?

- if you wire in USD (domestic and international) are those stored in the Evolve Bank?

sounds like another case of "there are good people on both sides". anyway, the takeaway here is that she did the thing that was meant to keep the fragile arrangement intact, and yet here we are today with the same result had she chosen the morally right thing in the first place.

why am i getting downvoted? she's the leader of the govt and has not helped address the issue. whether or not it's in her power is besides the point. she did the politically convenient thing and pretended that nothing was wrong.

meh. she's been less than ideal on the Rohingya issue.

Grove, my bad.
