Honest question: what kind of problem does this solve?
Second line of the page:
> Stablecoins enable instant, borderless, programmable transactions, but current blockchain infrastructure isn’t designed for them: existing systems are either fully general or trading-focused. Tempo is a blockchain designed and built for real-world payments.
What is different in the details, no idea.

Indeed, but even with something like SPY, there’s quite the concentration in tech:
Top 10 Holdings (37.99% of Total Assets)
NVDA 8.07%
MSFT 7.37%
AAPL 5.77%
AMZN 4.11%
META 3.12%
AVGO 2.57%
GOOGL 2.08%
GOOG 1.68%
BRK-B 1.61%
TSLA 1.61%
I don't think putting all your net worth in S&P would be considered diversified.
With an MSCI world, those companies would drop to ~22% exposure. Throw a bit of real estate, more exposure to your home country if you are not in the US some real estate, some bonds and you can make it drop to <10%.

All those statements made sense to me at the time. And I have no doubt that one of these days, someone will make a correct prediction. But who the hell know what and when.
Diversify, be reasonable and be prepared for it to happen someday. But freaking out with any new prediction of doom is not the winning strategy.

Agreed. If I want to see doom and gloom announcements about the current administration I'll go read Huffington Post or NY Times, thank you very much.
It is not a opinion article about the current admin. It is the direct statement from the state department on a topic that doesn’t belong less here than many other general interest topics found on hacker news. A few post below, there is a petition against pesticides in France.
UNESCO stands for international cooperation in education, science, culture, and communication. That seems well within what HN can cover in my opinion.

It is one of the most 10 upvoted topics on the main page.
People seem to want to see it here and comment about it.
Personally I am happy to see it discussed here. I have seen interesting comments tempering and contextualizing the headline that I appreciate.
There are still a vast majority of articles on other topics. Those ones are easy to ignore if they bother someone.

Then maybe those todos are not todos but just regular comments?
Isn't it D? The video also seems to show D, unless there's another spot I'm missing.
I messed up my message, I wrote it from memory later.
I meant: At 3:17, which is the perfect fifth of E. It is B, the video is showing A.
Nitpick: The perfect fifth of G is E but the video says A: https://vimeo.com/730642802
