The interviewer gave only softball questions and most everything here has been said before. You don't lose anything by skipping it.
SBF is now on team tear down the administrative state tho:
I've grown I think over time more sympathetic to the chainsaw
Excuse me but I need the tech industry to hold up just long enough to fulfill my mid-life-crisis goal of moving to another country. Please refrain from crashing until then.
Thanks.
Usually SSN yes. In recent years airports and secure federal buildings are starting to require "real IDs" / star cards which are state IDs which meet federal identity verification requirements. I couldn't be bothered with all that since I already have a passport so my driver's license says "Federal Limits Apply".
For thinks like bank loans, state IDs are widely accepted.
OK this is just my unresearched opinion as an American but I really don't know what I'm talking about so keep that in mind and treat it as vibes more than research. It's messy and I haven't learned about any of it since highschool (and my highschool left a lot of important parts out):
A bunch of uninformed rambling
US states aren't thought of as countries for good reason, but in the country's legal framework that kind of how they work -- just with a lot of work to make borders almost a non-issue, shared citizenship, shared economy, etc. This means that historically a lot of stuff that would be associated with a country (ID, driving permit, residency, military) either only happens at the state level; or happens at both the state and the federal level.
In the constitution the federal government is supposed to stick to it's lane as well: any powers which aren't explicitly given to the federal government are reserved for the states (10th amendment). Though in practice the federal government has a lot of powers.
That's the background and helps explain both the lack of a (compulsory) national ID and how there can be state level election shenanigans:
For national ID this was indeed a conservative bugbear. They were essentially worried about the government building a dossier on them or something. I don't remember the details it's been a long time: Conservatism 15 years ago was an entirely different beast than it is today. It's kind of hard to even imagine if the conservatives still have the same fears today, if the liberals don't, or how it would actually play out. Congress being deadlocked for so long means it's hard to get a vibe on how things would shake out if they started actually passing lots of laws again.
Oh yeah did I mention congress is deadlocked? This both means that the US is essentially operating on decades outdated laws, and that the legislature's infighting has lead to a power vacuum that the executive and judicial branch have slurped up (which helps explain the current Elon Musk mess)
Anyway election shenanigans: States were historically supposed to be, well, states as in closely aligned countries and this was all set up in the days before fast and easy long distance travel and communication (did I mention America is really big?). This means that each state runs it's own election (which it can do in any legal way it pleases). The outcome of the election is one or more electors, and those electors are who actually send in their choice for president. There have been cases of "faithless electors" who vote for someone besides the party they represent. Oddly this hasn't really been seen as a big deal (since the parties choose the electors they tend to be pretty loyal).
The point of the previous paragraph is this is a mess. Like a real mess. It's law that made some sense 200 years ago (and maybe not even, they were kinda #yolo-ing the constitution at the time) but is really dated. This means there's lots of room for shenanigans. Can a state legally disqualify voters? Maybe? Sometimes? Kinda? They're not supposed to be like racist or anything, but determining that depends on a lot of details and shifting supreme court rulings.
Write a brief article titled "ICE Prosecutor Linked to Anonymous White Supremacist X Profile: Report"
The worst part is I can't tell if that's not meant to be taken literally or if it is.
Within 5 minutes of my first hike, the trees smiled at me and whispered their simple wisdom.
This probably only sounds profound to people who haven't been outside in 7 years. Don't get me wrong hiking is good for the soul. But if it hits you that hard after five minutes you're probably terminally online.
~~Also why can't trees have complex wisdom gosh darn it?~~
The guy running a hostile workplace while hanging out with Logan Paul, selling junk food to children, and putting on reality shows so hostile to the contestants that they get compared to torture is... into cryptocurrency?! I'm shocked! Shocked!
Goodness kids need some better role models because sometimes it seems 90% of people on the social networks are morally bankrupt.
The one catch is that because responses from the blockchain can take variable amounts of time, it’s best to request and receive from blockchains using asynchronous methods.
"You may be used to writing websites that actually load in fractions of a second, and so rely on obsolete web2 technologies like synchronous fetches. But don't worry! With modern techniques like async / await your loading spinner will animate flawlessly while the blockchain spends 20 minutes burning down a forest in the background."
You can practically taste the frustration in the "prompt engineering" here. Just one more edge case bro, one more edge case and then the prompt will be perfect!
TL;DR: "I'm no longer a white nationalist because a lot of white people are cucked. Now my new identity is with sufficiently pilled white people. This is much more pragmatic. Also I would totally have a cool black friend if any actually existed which means I'm totally not racist."
Also: did anyone else feel a chill reading about a literal nazi talking about how society accepts him now? America used to despise nazis and now they feel like they can walk around openly. It's terrifying.
