Comment Itâ(TM)s the file system, stupid (Score 2) 121

I still remember going to the Apple Store when the first iPad came out - I couldnâ(TM)t wrap my head around it. âoeBut where are the files?â I asked. I was confused when the answer was âoein the appâ. Fast forward to now, and the biggest problem with trying to use it as a primary device is that app designers need to have anticipated every possible workflow. You canâ(TM)t just âoesave asâ and do with the file what you want. It means that you spend your time hacking a workflow every time, which is at best inefficient, and is too often not possible. The files app was a step, but still is t there.

Itâ(TM)s the same story every time with these deals - the only way a private entity would take on such an investment is if they know they can extract enough profit. If that profit potential is thereâ¦then why donâ(TM)t the public entities take it? Usually all the risk has already been assumed by the public, and thereâ(TM)s generally no specialized expertise the private sector is bringingâ¦so it just ends up as a giveaway.

Considering that most of the harm in this sector is based on bad actors exploiting an absence of regulation, I think there should be a sense of urgency here. If you look at the shocking lack of controls at FTX, or the fantasy mechanics of Luna, or the sketchy lending and ToS at Celsius, you see a bunch of scammers taking advantage of the refusal to regulate. Just doing random enforcement turns it into a game of whack-a-mole. SEC is hoping crypto just goes away, because, I would imagine, their masters have no interest in competition on financial infrastructure. The silly debate painting an entire technology as a scam is a useful way of diverting attention from the interests being protected. Hint: they are not the interests of consumers.
