why should one do that?

truth is often undefined, and you can simply weigh sides with probabilities.

There is however 100% certainty this post will be downvoted.


> you can simply weigh sides with probabilities

Absolutely.

And is most cases one side has a 60%+ probability. That should be your side.


How good is the keyboard?


For me, it's good, because I like quite soft and low keys. They still do a mild click and it feels obvious if a key is pressed, but it's not pronounced like on higher-key/mechanical keyboards. What I personally like is that the keyboard is wide enough to have a dedicated num-pad and that the layout is closer to a full-size keyboard than on most other laptops I've had, Ctrl is in left-most position as with normal keyboards with Fn key to the right of it. The Delete/Ins etc are moved to the top row next to F-keys, but I've not found it difficult to adjust to.

No complaints so far about any keys stopping from working or feeling odd switching between it and my full-size more clicky keyboard.


Thanks! Will add this to my list :)


How’s the trackpad?

Is good keyboard quantifiable somehow? As good as old T?


Numbers?

Well, we are at the point where farmers have to add nutrients to soil.


Isn’t there an entire flavour industry?

Seems much easier fixed than trying to invent fake meat from scratch.


why does 100:1 leverage contributes to upside, but isn't cancelled out by 100:1 to downside?


Because you can't go below zero. There's a floor to how much you can lose, and it's "everything you've put in", not "everything plus additional debt".

...typically, anyway.


> Because you can't go below zero. There's a floor to how much you can lose, and it's "everything you've put in", not "everything plus additional debt".

If you're leveraged, you are borrowing money, which means you can lose more than you put in as you could lose the money you borrowed and thus would owe on the debt. Further, if you are shorting bitcoin for instance, there is no floor.


You can't generally go beyond 0 though. You'll get liquidated before that due to the exchange's risk engines. If it goes beyond, that loss is passed on to the lenders.


Well, for starters the funding and borrow rate(s) are often positive because people just tend to be bullish. So things have to get pumped up somehow before they come crashing down, it's a much stronger tendency among the crypto faithful to be bullish than to be bearish. I also think the other commenter's insight about how gains on the short side are capped at $0 price is relevant.

So while there is downside pressure from liquidation cascades on the levered positions, the main point is that volatility in general will smooth out. The juiced up all time highs we've seen so far have been driven by leverage. Maybe BTC sells off to $12K but if there was no leverage in the system I think it would take a lot longer to bring up to $69K than it did before.


AKA: "share your contacts with the NSA only"


Even if you dont believe in sgx, the nsa would still have to be in signal's servers somehow, in which case you are probably screwed anyways


Edward Snowden is a public supporter and user of Signal. He's my canary in the coal mine. The moment the US three letter agencies get access to the data on Signal's servers, Snowden's dead. I feel comfortable in the resilience of their architecture as long as he's alive.


Do you think his location is some great mystery? The actual reason he is not dead is because there is no political will to conduct an operation on Russia soil to murder him.


Isn't Snowden alive because the US decided not to kill him? Doesn't sound like killing him is that hard


Nobody is coming to kill him. The scenario as a whole makes no sense when you think about it with even the most gentle level of scrutiny.

His only danger at this point is jail.


Yeah, even if you believe the usa is full on evil, extrajudicially murdering someone who was granted asylum in russia makes very little sense from a political perspective given america's position in the world.


This is an entire movie script you’ve made up in your mind. That isn’t how any of it works .


why anyways?

don't they say the chat is end to end encrypted?


>Note that a single family dewlling on .75 acres likely costs the government a lot of money to provide services (plumbing, sewer, electric etc) and is likely already a net debtor to the city/county. This style of development is why American (and Canadian) cities are going broke.

Maybe in a dying city nobody wants to live in anyway.

Most costs aren't spending the entire budget on plumbing/sewer/electric. All of those are often billed separately, with surcharges for infra development. RE developers are on the hook for those in new developments.

Largest costs usually are: education, police, fire, roads. Except roads, these are orthogonal to density.

So in short, your argument: people are net debtors because we have roads. Plainly false.


> RE developers are on the hook for those in new developments.

I'd suggest educating yourself on how infrastructure maintenance is actually paid for.
