I haven't ever bought the Podcast Underwear but i know folks who have and really like it. Micro modal underwear is very comfortable but if you don't care about the patterns you can get nice stuff much cheaper elsewhere.

Aramis posted:A blockchain-based license is exactly as transferable as a server-based one. In the sense that's it's entirely up to the whim of the developper. Yeah the way I typed it was dumb. What I meant is that you can allow for resale without direct involvement from the company who originally sold it to you. It would be a nice way to allow for resale which has exactly 0 chance of being embraced by any software company.

Hello Adobe. What if instead of selling your licenses for $500 each, you NFT them and collect a 5% cut on the resale? That way, when my friend needs it, he can buy it from me, and then you get $25 instead of the full $500. It's revolutionary! Also, if my friend gets scammed in a transaction in which you were not involved, he'll also call your support line to complain. Just sign here:

What if we revolutionised everything again, by moving a Blockchain to a central server, where everyone could ping the server with data read/write requests, and the server would handle it? That way no one needs to have multi giga/terabyte Blockchain downloads, and if the server was verified by whoever owned it they could modify it to avoid the transaction rate limit. This could change everything!

Serious_Cyclone posted:It's weird when someone just shows up in the thread and tosses out their bro-MLM negging pitch like it works on anyone but the faithful. They must huddle on twitter coming up with these things like those sad dudes who workshop their "open" to each other over a hypothetical encounter with a woman. It's a mix between that and a phenomenon I've seen in various contexts online; people who've been living in a very specific circle turned echo chamber for their specific opinions and beliefs and convinced themselves that they're the cool kids club and on the cutting edge, and mistake their in-group clout and support for being universal when they march out and lay down the law to the ignorant and the haters. See the 'not my job to educate you' people. Chainclaw posted:You forgot the part where Adobe would have to pay fees themselves every time they want to issue more NFT backed keys for their software in that hell world of NFT software keys instead of standard database software keys. Also said before but a key fallacy of libertarians in general is basically a failure to understand... power relations in general, and combine the tech bro mindset of computers being literal magic and you get some real stupid ideas getting real big.

A man still talking to reporters posted:Bankman-Fried pulls out his laptop (an Acer Predator) and opens a spreadsheet to show what he meant. It’s similar to the balance sheet he reportedly showed investors when he was seeking a last-minute bailout, which he says consolidated FTX and Alameda’s positions because by then the fund had defaulted on its debt. On one line—labeled “What I *thought*”—he lists $8.9 billion in debts and way more than enough money to pay them: $9 billion in liquid assets, $15.4 billion in “less liquid” assets and $3.2 billion in “illiquid” ones. He tells me this was more or less the position he was considering when he had the meeting with the other executives.

Like that should of been easier to keep track of than the value of "assets" -which I'm assuming was mostly just a bunch of crypto- that's assets can fluctuate or could lose access too, or what ever other stupid stuff happens with cypto. Like how the hell is the cash just not there. Did they just manage to spend $ 8 Billion with out noticing. Did they never check how much cash they had left. Like the hell? He or someone/everyone at the company else, must of just stolen it right?

I assume at least partially the disagreement about how much liquid assets ftx had is down to the fact that sbf and others inexplicably view ftt as a real, liquid, cash equivalent. Didn't he say in one of his many poorly advised interviews that everything is fine because ftt was worth billions until recently? He just doesn't seem to get that it's funny money and isn't, and never was, worth anything really.

Aramis posted:NFTs as DRM is utter bullshit for a various number of reasons, player behaviors being driven by greed being a big one indeed. However, it's trivial to write a smart contract in a way where the game's developer gets a cut of each transaction. It's terrible for a number of reasons, but not being able to extract profit from them certainly not one of them. I was Delighted by that guy who wrote a bunch of smart contracts that meant he could just buy everyone else's bitcoins out from under them for almost nothing, then he did that and walked away with all their money lol

I read a bunch about enron and worldcom and zzzz best. Their schemes were remarkably similar to FTX. Imagine you want to gamble on something risky. For Enron that would be a gas company that isn't making a profit in Brazil, but maybe they can turn it around. For worldcom, it's a failing ISP that has some potential, for FTX its a pile of shitcoins. You want to be smart about how you take on the risk to look good to your investors. What do you do? Basically you make a new company. Call it "risky-asset-buyer llc". Then you give this new company a loan, say of a a billion dollars. The loan terms include that the loan has to be used to buy the risky asset, and then part of the loan conditions is that your real company gets all the profits. On your balance sheet you mark down that the loan payments coming back from risky-asset-buyer llc are revenue. After all, loans are always a revenue stream to someone right? If the risk pays off then you're golden. All the revenue comes back, your loan is paid in full, and you have a new line of profits. If the risk goes badly though now your revenue that you put on the books is fake and everything gets screwed up. Maybe risky-asset-buyer llc takes out a loan to refinance and then uses that to pay you back, or even worse maybe you had borrowed the money in the first place and now you're totally underwater. Its funny because when you draw the boundary at Enron they were hugely profitable. But at the end of the day those profits were actually loan repayments from all of their shell companies that were engaged in absurdly bad business. All the losses were to the shell companies. If you draw the boundary wider you see that they were just taking out loans and then paying themselves with the loan balance, and then taking out more loans to cover the first ones - a classic ponzi. I heard some econ professor recently say that all business fraud ultimately boils down to a ponzi and I think reading about how it works helped me understand that. Yes, its accounting fraud at some level, but the accounting part is the cover-up and the fraudulent loans are the part that makes the executives money. Its funny to watch SBF scramble to try and assemble the accounting fraud after the fact. His spreadsheet is a hilarious "late-homework" attempt to emulate his much more competent predecessors. edit: for those that want to read about it its pretty great: zzzz best: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Minkow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldCom_scandal Many many funny details in this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madoff_investment_scandal I was around when this stuff happened, but only recently I think I can follow sorta what happened thanks to reading about crypto. It's pretty interesting! Salt Fish fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Dec 3, 2022 |

Three years later, Minkow admitted to defrauding his own church and was sentenced to an additional five years in prison. He is subject to restitution requirements totaling $612 million. that's a great link
