Five times consul and twice dictator of Roman Republic. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all.

@macrocephalopod Actually it seems they have limits on how much an account can redeem per week. Could be they are low enough that they can just keep redemptions open until things normalize. Don't know though

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@macrocephalopod But Circle knows this, so if FDIC does not fix SVB mess by Monday morning, they will halt redemptions. It will scare people but the only alternative is USDC going to 0.

@carlosgpinto Excelente! Pode parecer uma pequena coisa mas há muitas pequenas coisas como esta em Portugal que têm custos demasiados elevados para as pequenas empresas e não têm benefício nenhum!

@SamuelRamos95 @jbap89 @carlosgpinto Interessante mas ficava mais convencido se fosse uma projeção feita por um organismo independente em vez do próprio governo que tem todos os incentivos para ser optimista

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@SamuelRamos95 @jbap89 @carlosgpinto O que não é estável é o dinheiro que entra (que vai decrescer por razões demográficas) e o que sai (que vai crescer). E se tecnicamente não é imposto isso diz pouco a quem fica sem esse dinheiro no final do mês

@SamuelRamos95 @jbap89 @carlosgpinto Quem acredita que alguém que esteja a descontar hoje vai receber alguma coisa na reforma da segurança social nunca fez contas. A segurança social é insustentável com o envelhicimento da população. Quem trabalha hoje desconta para pagar as reformas de quem está reformado agora.

@s_r_constantin @StefanFSchubert I think the US must have a lot more younger drivers than other countries. In Europe it's very rare for someone to get a car while they are in highschool for instance. Maybe that drives the effect? Teenagers are more reckless

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@GarettJones In the other direction a true genius can produce vastly more in their lifetime than even a very smart person. Think Einstein, von Neumann, Gauss, etc. And none of these were anywhere near 400 IQ, we have never seen anything even close to that.

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@GarettJones This relationship surely breaks down very quickly. Do you really think an IQ 70 person is only 30% less productive than an IQ 100? Surely not, for a lot of tasks the productivity of the former is 0 or even negative.

@MW_Trades The fact that people long for FIX tells you the status quo is really bad. FIX is a horrible variable field length, text based but with unprintable characters protocol. Give me a nice binary spec please

@gregeganSF Had not heard of this! Is the ability to ejaculate condiments from said sausage fingers in the pipeline?

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@amasad Huge respect for Carmack but he's missing the forest for the trees

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@amasad (to say nothing of the ethical implications)

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@gregeganSF This was so good! The physics, the world building, the story! Vintage @gregeganSF, no-one else in history could have written this. FWIW, would happily read a novel (or 3) set in this universe. Or a 20 page PDF exploring the physics of Scale.

@OrthogonalAlpha Also one big upside of option 2 you didn't count is that on you get 1 year off to do whatever you want (disclosure: currently on garden leave and it is fantastic).

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@OrthogonalAlpha Not sure how you are getting the 1.5 MM? Are you assuming total comp for second year is 500k? Note that for 3rd year (the noncompete period) they still have to pay you. Non paid non competes are not enforceable, no matter what the employment contract says.

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@robinhanson Cool. Thanks for reply and happy Thanksgiving!

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@robinhanson How do you find the median from the binned survey response?

[QFMV @QFMV1]

@macrocephalopod Man, if it weren't for CZ getting miffed and blowing up the whole thing, SBF would have gone full Sméagol by year end.
