Huge amount of that production gets spent on keeping the world running - income vs disposable income.

Having unreasonable expectations would be okay, but people are calling it broken because a generation before this had this luxury but pulled the ladder behind them. We are supposed to progress forwards, not backwards.

Right, I specifically use DoH with Cloudflare on my phone. I'm talking about the "we don't need this" reply above, which is a suggestion for tinkerers, not a good recommendation for general population.

So your “alternative” is strictly worse / solving a different problem.

What if I want privacy on a non-home network? Huge part of my traffic is over 5G/LTE.

Netflix can literally implement fast.com to do the exact same operation as when streaming and then measure performance of the stream.

Yes you could do a timer, but that would mean e.g. first 30s of all Netflix streams to be much faster and then slow down just in case they were in fact speed tests. Also would be difficult to differentiate between running a speed test vs a stream that gets its connection closed and reconnects.

All of this is an order of magnitude for ISPs to deal with than unthrottling traffic for specific domains. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but making it prohibitively more expensive helps a lot.

That's why we need DNS over HTTPS and Encrypted Client Hello to become widely used. Then there would be no way of knowing, as long as Netflix uses the same infrastructure to serve fast.com and netflix.com

Curious, have you owned an apple watch? I’ve had exactly zero problems with connectivity, never even occurred to me until now.

They offer to self-host by the way.

That was very dismissive. I’m aware all of these would make a difference, but lots of US public and powerful interest groups are against all of them.

Absolutely not okay with it being the normal, if you have any ideas for solving the US guns problem, let me know.

Maybe he got a large but shitty quality TV? I got an OLED 2 years ago and none of this rings a bell.

Nitpick: doesn’t have to be equally - one party in a trade can gain more than the other, not necessarily proportionally to size (but both end up better off than not trading). The key is to sanction areas where the losses hurt the other side more than you.

Don’t forget about taxes. Most of it is getting taxed at least 37%

Why is a browser the primary way a machine gets compromised?

Not that easy, most people get more than 1% back on their cards. It’s a reallocation mechanism where poor people who can’t pay their credit card bills end up sponsoring everyone else

I am surprised no one mentioned social recovery, Vitalik even wrote about it https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/01/11/recovery.html

Love minigolf, but regular golf takes up a ridiculous amount of resources per how many people can enjoy it. I wish it’d die.

Definitely there, but author probably didn’t find those fulfilling. The rest are leisure activities, which might again not work when a problem solver is looking to apply themselves.

You can do arbitrage without being a market maker and you can be a market maker without doing arbitrage.

Market makers don’t print riskless money, they are affected by a very real risk of divergence loss.

Yeah he has gone out of his way to speak against ETH.

I remember him saying he plans to step down as Tesla CEO eventually

Find someone who will lend you their tokens (if it’s on-chain, you will need collateral) and sell them. Later you can buy same amount of tokens from the market for a lower price - if price indeed goes down.

Sure, if more people who hold DAI thought it would than it wouldn’t, it would be a problem. At this point there are so many arbitrage bots and protocols on top that it won’t even budge to 0.95 though, because this incentive balance has proven to be solid. The main downside really is that it’s overcollateralized by assets in 2x or so value.

There is a very important aspect of opposite pressure.

If DAI price ever loses peg and goes to eg 0.90 anyone with open positions immediately starts buying a shitton of them and closing their position, because they just got a 10% discount on paying off their debt, sending the peg back.

If the price ever goes to 1.10, anyone with free capital around immediately starts minting new coins and floods the market with them, because they just got an instant 10% bump on the size of minted capital, sending the peg back.

The latter

I’m getting those too - and the content is an obvious low-res image, not sure how it’s getting through.
