So I assume a random account holder doesn’t actually have assigned bitcoins etc — they are just accredited a claim against the crypto that Binance owns and managed keys for.

So this stolen crypto is off Binance own reserves. So it could be absorbed across current accounts as long as they aren’t drawn down to below $6B? And if crypto drops they can apply cash reserves to plug the hole more easily?

Seeing how effortlessly 1Password supports exporting to other clients really makes me want to use 1Password more. How does it handle other fields - Apple Passwords has like 5 fixed fields while 1P has dozens and custom fields?

So it can’t make a FaceTime call on WiFi unless you have a phone nearby? A FaceTime phone is a killer apps for families who don’t give phones to young kids.

Is that a tongue in cheek reference to my inadvertently weird capitalization of wildcat as WildCat — no idea why I did that, maybe a throwback to my ThunderCats fandom of my youth.

Maybe lack of capital is a factor, but doesn’t that only come into play if redemptions are large? If it acts as a currency in circulation, there can be very little actual capital backing it (like how fractional reserves work for regular banks, IIRC).

Is it similar to WildCat banking?

Isn’t this related to financial nihilism where normal people can’t invest or earn enough to grow money for basic life costs like housing and college with standard investments or jobs. They need a moonshot, hence gambling has become normalized. It isn’t even about the White House or crypto per se, it’s a desperate embrace of risk to catch up.

I am ride or die Good Place; my family has the Trolley Problem party game. Don’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it.

But honestly I feel the Darkest Timeline is more apt, ala Community.

A friend of mine from back home mentioned he hadn't heard anything about the White House UFC fight because he's solely focused on himself right now. Honestly, I think that’s becoming ubiquitous; all of us are navel-gazing and trying to "optimize" looks, diet, exercise, Ai skills, supplements. We can sit through four hours of a Joe Rogan podcast, there are so many long form podcasts! We are all just living inside our own little bubbles now.

I agree the 1TB is a good deal. But our phones are Apple and our email is Google, so it’s all wonky sync via OneDrive (and when you have a lot of OneDrive the forced syncs to your windows login takes a lot of cache space).

Wish there was an open interface to use cloud storage, like a mount point, so Gmail or iPhotos could just write there rather than the hand carrying of data. But probably vendor lock-in is too compelling

Did Apple pay them to drop support to boost their revamped Numbers/Pages/Keynote suite (ClarisWorks Infitniy.0).

Obviously this is a joke, though there was a period when Microsoft invested in Apple to serve as a stand-in foil for the anti-trust lawsuit. So tactical investing for something other than monetary ROI has precedent …

I actually regularly used emdashes in my writing —- my kids complain I write like AI in fact — and now I have to consciously remove them.

Likewise, I often used literary flourish and pleasantries like that above article about email decompression; I’m from the south so I think structured formality comes with territory.

I do think using LLM to turn notes and bullets into narratives should be considered no different than rendering CSV text into an excel format, just making it more digestible by recipient.

Not just “experts”. Legal ETHICS professors at Stanford.

Yeah saving statements is important but banks make it so hard to automate. 2FA for login, and statements have to be navigated to, sometimes time range set.

My bank just sends a note that a statement is available, rather than an actual statement.

Maybe I misread it but it’s like Apple Pay on a MacBook.

You query 1Password to open in the Mac/PC and a prompt shows up on your phone and you auto with PIN/FaceID which then unlocks 1P on Mac/PC

Microsoft Authenticator has a similar workflow for MS accounts but it’s based upon matching a number on the screen AND authenticating with FaceID.
