trophycase··on Societies that treat women badly are poorer and less stable
But they are reproducing at a much faster rate.
trophycase··on Why don’t the French celebrate Lafayette?
He's also in Hamilton, one of the most well known musicals ever.
trophycase··on Big Brothers Has Privatized
This isn't even true. If you look at the wording of the referendum it basically renames the police department.
trophycase··on Dutch entrepreneurs avoiding negative interest by opening multiple bank accounts
Not necessarily. While I agree it is riskier, I think there's an argument to be made that higher returns can also come from an arbitrage on information/regulatory hurdles/slow moving corporations.

Get an algorithmically stablecoin, like DAI (but not DAI because a ton of DAI supply is collateralized with USDC and ETH/DAI LPs)
trophycase··on Oil firms slash U.S. Gulf of Mexico output by 91% ahead of Hurricane Ida
Well you know what they say... no pain no gain.
trophycase··on FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
What? 90% of the garbage circulated on facebook is republican qanon conspiracy theories at worst, and tabloid reactionary garbage at best.
trophycase··on I believe California is the dumping ground for America's homeless problem
What is your suggestion? That only 5% become homeowners/property owners and we're basically back to feudalism?
trophycase··on Burning out and quitting
Since I assume you did not accept. Care to tell us what company :) ?
trophycase··on Git password authentication is shutting down
Most people want to just code, not putz around for hours wrestling with dev environments and tooling.
trophycase··on Reddit raises $410M in new funding
Discord lol. If you want quality discussion you're not going to find it on reddit. Mostly the same regurgitated ideas said a thousand times on every post.

As someone who left the site a year/year and a half ago. I agree ;)
trophycase··on TikTok overtakes Facebook as most downloaded app
Honestly, I don't use it but my gf uses it and it's far and away better than any other social media I've seen. At least half the content I see when we scroll through together is good.
trophycase··on A cocktail of pesticides, parasites and hunger leaves bees down and out
Yep, it's just lovely living in an apartment complex that sprays poison everywhere on the property every month.
trophycase··on Atlantic Ocean currents weaken, signalling big weather changes: study
Is this the new anti climate change meme? I saw nearly this exact post on the last climate change article about fires or something.
trophycase··on Infrastructure bill cryptocurrency surveillance provision is a privacy disaster
What? USD is already the dominant stablecoin. The US should be jumping for joy that they will remain the universal fiat even through the blockchain age.

When Uniswap removed a bunch of coins from their front end, guess what they removed? sAUD, sEUR... but not sUSD. Very interesting don't you think?

This won't age well
trophycase··on China bans for-profit school tutoring in sweeping overhaul
Counterpoint. My Google interview was entirely whiteboard leetcode problems. There wasn't a single non-technical aspect of the whole interview.
trophycase··on Restaurant workers quit at record rate
Kind of disagree. I know waitresses in high-end casual sit down restaurants making $30-50/hr with a large fraction of that going untaxed.
trophycase··on Restaurant workers quit at record rate
Same thing is happening with entire buildings in my city. They'd rather evict their entire set of renters than lower the rent.
trophycase··on Juul bought an entire issue of a scholarly journal
The only person I know that vapes regularly has a persistent cough as long as she is vaping and goes away immediately when she stops. I don't think it is as safe as everyone is claiming.
trophycase··on Police officer plays Taylor Swift song to keep a video off YouTube
What misconduct?
trophycase··on SafeDollar ‘stablecoin’ drops to $0 following DeFi exploit on Polygon
You can upgrade many smart contracts with proper practice.
trophycase··on Shocked to find smart thermostats raised remotely by “Smart Savers Texas” progrm
For the life of me I can't understand how people like it so cold. I have to imagine a lot of it comes down to overweight/obesity but a lot of places I go are colder in the summer than they are in the winter.
trophycase··on The collapse of the IRON stable coin
I love your rhetoric of "server in a dorm room" to make it sound way sketchier and amateur than it is.
trophycase··on Some Americans are breaking out of political echo chambers
Unfortunately the whole "Lab Leak" COVID thing has given them another 5 years of legitimacy probably.
trophycase··on Solana Labs completes a $314M private token sale led by Andreessen Horowitz
I always love the "grinding to a halt" metaphor because it's so terrible. Bitcoin average block times don't change when lots of people are using it, and neither does tx throughput. Nothing grinds to a halt.
trophycase··on Solana Labs completes a $314M private token sale led by Andreessen Horowitz
It's almost like developers flock to the most interesting, innovative, and lucrative space currently on the market today. The fact so many developers on here dismiss without doing even basic research is kind of sad
trophycase··on Solana Labs completes a $314M private token sale led by Andreessen Horowitz
No company runs on ETH... lol. I'm sure the private VCs invested in thousands of projects (like Uniswap, Maker, etc.) feel exactly the same way.

What does that even mean? All bitcoin transactions use the blockchain. If by chance you mean "trades on exchanges" then the same could be said about nearly any financial instrument. A majority of movement is done by traders, market makers, etc.
