  • Yeah, it needs a lot more thought put into it because with wildly fluctuating equity prices you run into scenarios where a run up on a security triggers you to have to sell a bunch and give it to the government but then if that security returns right back to the price it was the week before you’re just shit out of luck. Because of that it means people will go to great lengths to find ways to circumvent this because it’s not fair.

    I’m not saying it’s a bad idea what I’m saying is that it needs refined and thought through a lot more





  • Like I said, the quote was related to my first paragraph asking the question about personal net worth.

    I didn’t then quote the company part as I thought the flow continued logically. It seems I was wrong.

    I’m aware of the cap he said, and that’s what I was asking an opinion on.

    Thank you for contributing yours.

    should probably be weighed against public interest and publicly-funded and managed, if they’re beneficial.

    So large skyscrapers, large nuclear plants, datacenters, etc would be state owned. Actually more…. This would be hundreds of the largest companies.
    This means the state would commandeer a company when what, the market cap hit a billy? The nav? That actually seems kinda crazy to do

    An independent contractor IS employed. They’re employed by themselves. Self-employed. So if you’re doing work for them, you are employed as an independent contractor doing work for them.

    I think it’s pretty clear what they mean. Could have just said “you’ll be paid as a contractor and receive the relevant tax forms for your country” tho

    Sure hoard seeds and self sustain as well. That’s not exclusive to preparing for dollar collapse. I suppose it was my ignorance leaving out ways to survive outside of protecting savings.

    As an old man, protecting my life savings is important to me as I’m not going to be in my prime and able to forage and farm and hunt and whatnot. Equally important is making sure as the system crumbles that I have a group of local like minded survivalists to join together with.

    I do disagree that they see the inevitable. But that’s moot.

    When shit hits the fan, you can’t eat bullets, and you won’t be able to shoot your way out of it.

    When everyone can’t find food, they’re not going to peacefully sit back and watch those who are prepared eat. The guns are for defense and trade purposes. They’re equally important in a true doom scenario.

    how do you propose we do that?

    They’re destroying themselves. Store money/value in a form that isn’t fiat (metal, guns, ammo, art, crypto). They are very close to the collapse of the US dollar. Their ponzi can’t sustain the debt payments anymore, and nearly all other mechanisms to prolong it have been exploited. Its hyperinflation will bring down nearly all other economies as well.

    The music is going to stop soon and it’ll be dark times. Just be prepared

    A RESTful service is (usually as of today) a JSON API. They aren’t mutually exclusive things.

    There’s no black and white definition there.

    However, when someone is creating a RESTful service, they’re stating that they’ll be paying mind to HTTP Verbs and status codes as a fundamental part of their design.

    In the original image posted, that dev clearly wasn’t paying mind to the HTTP layer and as such a commenter called it just a “JSON API”, which is the catchall, ugly, Wild West, typical way of doing things (always return 200, errors are in the json).

    Once again tho, it’s not black and white. Others can and will disagree and want to be pedantic. I’ve been a professional dev for 35 years, devs love to argue abt this shit.
