Powerful Two-Hander posted:it's actually from robocop I can’t believe I didn’t catch that! I saw that movie in the loving theater when it debuted! Not to mention like a billion times on VHS growing up. I guess not seeing it for 20+ years makes you forget, even though I still can cite the entire script of Airplane! (of course I can’t remember a cool rear end sonnet or Bible verse to quote at Brad before I shoot him), but my brother and I can still recite Ferris Bueller lines like a secret code…

Jose Valasquez posted:it’s worked for cryptobros so far, so why not? Do you think the tulip grifters knew it was going to both be lucrative and last a while? It truly is exactly like that: imagine if the Beanie Baby fad had lasted at its peak for a decade? Even Madoff was called a liar (with evidence!) for multiple years before any government agency looked seriously at his books. Coinbase execs probably figured to milk a few million and exit scam (exactly what Binance waited just a bit too long to do), and the money was so good from dolts they just probably could not break away cleanly. I liked what someone here (forgot who) said, “Just because you won the Lotto doesn’t make you smart.”

He was talking to some drone creators and imagined people flying to their pods independently, landing on the roof and entering through the hatch. Perhaps that’s how you’d get your milk. in case you missed it it's important to keep in mind the way you get to the hatch on the roof is by climbing up the rock climbing wall, which is itself located in the shower i know it was just brought up on the last page or whatever but it's a very important point everyone needs to know

Blotto_Otter posted:Matt Levine of Bloomberg's Money Stuff has some thoughts on the Coinbase thing, and after reading it I've got some more thoughts on just how many ways in which Coinbase is being dumb and bad: Well, USDC is a stable coin right? The tea leaves we're getting from regulators point to any stable coin that has an underlying asset that is a security, than is a security. USDC presumably tracks the dollar...wondering why they left that space there (according to previous comments by Gennsler) to say that it might not be. Maybe if its algorthmic, and sufficiently decentralized? The Hinman comments seem to hint at a way that ICOs and crypto coins can possibly, if they're decentralized enough, not be considered a security. Wondering if one will ever do so tho

The Hinman comments seem to hint at a way that ICOs and crypto coins can possibly, if they're decentralized enough, not be considered a security. "Securities" take many forms but at the end of the day, they all typically represent some kind of claim (sometimes explicit, sometimes implicit) to some underlying thing that has value. So yes, if you make a token or coin that is clearly and demonstrably not tied in any way to some other thing that has value, you can probably argue that it's not a security. in other words, yes, they already did what you suggest, it's called bitcoin

why wouldn't it be a seafloor tether. I mean I can only imagine what going through a storm in one of those would be like then, but it seems like it would be safer in terms of being able to leave. E: Actually during storms (presuming you had a good air supply, and the pod was really watertight), maybe just reel the tether in and go below-surface to ride it out. If you had a tether and a stem that acted as a ballast/counterweight.
