That would be Wright's second choice for what to get you to believe. But as I see it, Kleiman doesn't have nearly the credentials to be Sakamoto. He was well-informed on cryptography - for a policeman, which is what he was.

There are only a handful of people in the world who can reliably design crypto protocols and have them not fail disastrously in practice. It's not something you do correctly at first try, so you can limit your search to academics who have published research on digital cash systems. You can count those people on one hand (and rule out most).

Dave Kleiman isn't one of them, he only wrote stuff on forensics (hard drive wiping and stuff).
Life in the Fastlane
The main issue with giving people basic income/kid is that people will have lots of kids to get more money and ... do nothing with it other than watch tv and eat chips. They won't spend it on their kids.

There are a tonne of examples exactly this happening in the UK where a single mother has 6 kids and £50k income from various govt child support schemes. The kids learn from their mum that they have to have lots of kids to get free money.

Don't get me wrong - I think this is an excellent idea overall, but as it is with these things, it can't be oversimplified.

The highly skilled working mother can only spend less than (1 - marginal_tax_rate) * (1 - employer_profit_margin_on_labor) * $X on an hour of child care.

It was this exact calculation (and a high marginal rate) that led my own highly skilled wife to conclude that it wasn't worth working when we had our second child.

> So, why would discovering the real-life identity impact the exchange rate?

If we came to conclusion that Satoshi was a "I mined lots of early blocks who gave a really high block reward. And you all were all parts of this 'Ponzi scheme' which made me rich" kind of person - I can image quite well the consequences for the BTC exchange rate.

If we found out that Bitcoin was an experiment by some CS genius that got a little bit out of control in scope, the trust many have in the Bitcoin protocol (reflected by the exchange rate) would probably decrease, since people could conclude that Bitcoin wasn't as thought-through as many Bitcoin advocates want the world to believe.

On the other hand, if we concluded that Satoshi was some computer scientist whose expertise simply rather lies in cryptography and who secluded himself from Bitcoin simply for the reason that he knows that the next steps will need an expert for scaling of systems for which he will be no help, but he is sure the further development of Bitcoin is in good hand, this would probably increase the trust people have in Bitcoin and thus increase the exchange rate.

I could write down lots of other fictional examples, but I think the idea is clear.

> The problem with your "theory" is that they are going to decrease at a 1:1 ratio with increase in labor costs from the UBI

Actually, I never said 1:1 ratio with UBI. I just claimed the labor markets would decrease and monetary supply would increase.

> True, but that's not the argument you are making.

No, that's exactly and precisely the argument I'm making. I'm not an opponent of UBI for wishy washy wealth redistribution reasons, but because of the lousy labor markets it would create and the inflation it would create.

The models for what would happen under UBI are not clear, but there are not positive economic models under a UBI scheme by major economists.

UBI proponents have failed to provide any model whatsoever and fall back on vague handwaivy feelings that seem to always only show extremely positive outcomes with no possible negatives and a reliance on magic automation technology that doesn't exist.

I don't think it's a culture thing at all. Japanese people are usually extremely polite and sincere. I also don't think this has anything to do with their history.

If you look at replies I got from Ruby-core: some people would consider them to be rude as well; I'm constantly told I do not understand what I'm doing, and I've been in engineering for more than 12 years, into crypto for more than five (and been reading cypherpunk lists since I was 15). I'm certainly not an academic cryptographer nor among the best engineers in the field, but I think I know a fair bit about the topic by now. I've contributed to many security projects, academic publications and standards processes -- this was certainly among the worst experiences I've had so far (you'd think IETF is worse, no. heated discussions all the time, but people stay focused and technical, listen to comments made by domain experts et cetera and act on them).

The Ruby community even has their own acronym for being nice to other developers: MINASWAN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukihiro_Matsumoto). I'm puzzled by the outcome of this discussion, but am assured by other security engineers and cryptographers that bugs they opened were treated equally badly, often ignored, even if they were non-disclosed, heavy security issues.

No idea. I'm not part of Ruby-core, neither Japanese. In my travels I've encountered many cultures and peoples, Japanese are amongst the most polite and friendly people I've met. Often very shy in that regard, like many asians (this is indeed a culture thing & certainly not a bad one).
Some are xenophobic, but I wouldn't say that they all are, that's just false, I've met so many open-minded Japanese that I'd never generalise in that regard.

We had some trouble when the Youtube API was disabled for non-registered users. We were using it for some shared & local web-playlist, which is based on youtube-dl/mpv.

Sadly we couldn't use DDG because their API won't let you filter for video results only (Source: Asked on IRC, got a reply from DDG staff + haven't found any documentation mention this either).

We ended up using searx [0] which takes little more time for search results (about 1-3 seconds) but we gain more video-sources (such as vimeo or dailymotion).

I'm aware that youtube-dl got a search functionality build in as well, but the requirement that the client needs to get results without being prepared by our embedded computer wouldn't fit.

Maybe I need to leak some emails that some other HN people and I created Bitcoin as a prank to see how many people would waste that energy and CPU when they could just use decentralized transactions with real currency. That I was holding onto my Satoshi stash out of regret for how far my prank would go. Then, a third-world bank invests its holdings in the scheme to save their economy from impending hyperinflation. The same country that previously canceled my contracts for locals due to bribes to their corrupt government. So, I go Bond villain and dump all my Satoshi bitcoins at once to drive the value to near zero. The country is begging IMF for a bailout the next day.

Or some other Hollywood-style bullshit that Wright wasn't bright enough to come up with. :)
These cultures are all artificial. I've worked at a handful of companies that all brought in the ping pong/foosball/shuffle board, and nobody plays them. It's always a ghost town.

Instead, employees will bring in their own toys like card games and basketball hoops, because that's what they like.

The culture happens because the employees themselves have the latitude and money to make it happen. The foosball table that they are all trying to mimic happened because some ceo/founder at a successful company always wanted one and brought one in for himself. Now it's offered as some kind of perk even though nobody likes the game. The perk should be extreme latitude and high pay. The culture will happen all by itself.
Well, of course, as long as those are the rules and the scenario. The grandparent offered a bit different scenario.

The moral is quite clear, though: don't ever, ever use someone else's equipment and time to build your own thing.

(never mind that both desktop and mobile ad prices were growing, with the overall decline attributable to the shift to mobile usage).

It's currently believed by most economic models that debt would wildly increase in proportion as there's few tax schemes that would tax the wealthy enough (and in the right ways) to make it work. For example, even a WW2 level progressive income tax scheme would not provide enough money because the wealthy have learned how to acquire wealth without it being their personal income.

Capital gains taxes only occur if money is made from investments, and there's lots of wonderful ways to show losses or get around that kind of tax system by reinvesting or working the books over to show losses.

You don't want to tax asset ownership too much, because then you'll be taxing people's stock and bond ownership and their retirement accounts and it produces a disincentive to invest in businesses that would need that money to produce the kind of automation revolution that would make UBI work (your #2). A great many assets also only have value and not intrinsic worth. For example, Donald Trump is on record saying that he believes his personal fortune can vary by billions of dollars on any given day given how he "feels" about his brand image. We all know about VC valuations. Do we tax paper billionaires who are pulling down $100k in real income? How can they possibly pay that?

Consumption taxes have been demonstrated to have an outsized impact on the poor.

and so on.

A notion that "well we'll just close all the tax loopholes to make UBI work" is quite frankly a fantasy.

I agree that UBI would stabilize boom bust cycles, but it's not clear that that's a desired end-state. Boom cycles are often when major innovation happens.

I'm a sort of atypical consumer - not very willing to spend money on gadgets, for example; but I'm surprised nonetheless that with all this talk of "big data", they can't do a better job at figuring out the things I'm really interested in and instead keep bombarding me with ads related to any random search I've made. That's silly and a big waste of money.

It seems to me that there's two Satoshis to talk about here. One is the Satoshi that created Bitcoin. The other is the Satoshi that owns the private key to the genesis block, and also a whole lot of other bitcoins that are worth a lot of money.

Everything I've read about Craig Wright makes it seem pretty unlikely that he's the former. I just don't see enough in his CV to believe he created Bitcoin. This is the Satoshi I'd be more interested in actually learning the identity of.

As for the latter, all he needs to do to prove that is sign a message. That's pretty easy to do relative to the magnitude of the claim. Any proof beyond that isn't proof of identity, it's proof that he obtained that identity legitimately. I kind of don't care about who this Satoshi is unless they are the same person.

I don't think these two Satoshis have to be the same person, I don't think they need to be only one person, and I don't think they need to be alive, but right now I've personally seen nothing that makes me thing Craig is either.

AI is, at the end of the day, just software. We have the intellectual tools to enable us to make high quality software and systems, stemming from industrial experience stretching back three quarters of a century. We need to free that knowledge; ossified in dozens of mil-std and similar institutional documents: re-institutionalising it in the public domain, making free tools and systems available to support the (public) quality processes that a distributed, heterogeneous, partially open-source future AI requires.

Klieman is dead since 2013.

As far as I understand, Wright "concocted a trail of evidence" last year, the "leaked" documents that point to Klieman, referred to by various online media are with great probability from Wright alone.

And he openly proved twice that he's able to construct false proofs (the PGP mails story last year and this "old signature" trick now). And he's quite capable when presenting them: whenever he just shows his "proofs" to only a few people, most people believe him. We have enough articles to confirm that.

> collectivist ideologies like communism and national socialism

I sense a conflation between communism and USSR dictatorship. I'm not sure this is warranted. (Then again, China is supposedly lead by a "communist party".) More generally, are you suggesting that collectivist ideologies necessarily leads to totalitarianism?

> which enable the individual to exist without any dependencies except a job.

That last exception will need to be remedied some day. Some more automation and substantially more redistribution should do it. Which is why I'm so disturbed by your juxtaposition of communism and national socialism: many people equate redistribution with communism with dictatorship, preventing us to solve the problem of ever growing structural inequality. We're going to get over this trauma if we're to avoid the coming horrors of corporate capitalism (or the horrors of its unplanned demise).
