Yes, I recently stumbled upon Black Wings Has My Angel by Eliot Chaze. Great, obscure and underrated crime/noir/pulp novel. It transcends the genre. It's somehow both more gritty and more literary than the more famous Hammett and Chandler and similar stuff.
Isn't Bitcoin mining quite centralized, with a few chinese operators controlling a large majority?
Yes there is risk...but so much investment is made by those that can afford to risk it..that is the risk of losing the investment is not losing your home and car or being thrown to the street. If risk is defined by surplus money alone then yes, investors take risks, but if you define risk as the chance of losing your livelihood and basic needs? Typing on a keyboard entails more risk.

When the poor takes an investment risk of $1000 they risk more than some elite putting up $1000.

Economics is not physics. You're citing a paper that essentially says that measuring the economic effects of public research is hard. It is. But that neither proves nor disproves the matter, and it isn't going to change. It isn't a matter of having to do a better study, it's a matter of there being no good way to do a study.

This is quite common in economics, but it's especially bad here, because the benefits of research don't inherently result in transfers of currency, and the benefit is actually often to eliminate them. The existence of Linux means that businesses can make broadband routers without having a large internal software team, which means vendors have lower costs and more competition, which means you can get a broadband router for <$100 instead of $1000. That is clearly a useful benefit, but the specifics of it are going to depend on what people do with the surplus $900, which will change over time and cultures and populations in ways that have no relation to the research. There is not going to be any good way to measure that and any measurement is not going to be stable or generally applicable.

But the difficulty in measurement doesn't get you out of having to draw a conclusion, because you still have a decision to make and need something to base it on. So when data is not forthcoming, we use analysis. And the analysis clearly points to research producing large returns, because the product is one that is produced once and can thereafter be used and reproduced arbitrarily many times at negligible cost. It's the classic scenario that justifies governments building roads and infrastructure with tax dollars.

The caveat is that the research has to be useful. It is obviously of no benefit to allocate a crate of cash labeled "research funding" and then transfer it to cronies or apparatchiks. But then the fight isn't over whether we should fund research, it's over how to make sure the money goes to the right place.

There's basically no difference. Chronic pain users will end up on ever higher doses and get rx's with amounts that'll make junkies jealous. Severe pain might make them even more tolerant to the drug.

Even then: I've had IV morphine at the hospital after getting my knee run through. I was high as hell. I've had hydrocodone given to me after hurting my back. Totally high, blissed out. Seems to be the common complaint: "I got pain pills, but they made me loopy!"

It's like when people say meth (or Adderall or Ritalin) works differently on people with ADHD. No it doesn't, they're just coming from a different baseline. It'll help anyone think better.

There might be some long-term problems with opiate use. Like reduced testosterone. Maybe reduced immunity (hard to tell, since so many chronic pain patients have severe illness). Prolonged constipation can certainly cause issues, too.

There's supply and demand, and then there's also principal agent problems. In practice, shareholder capitalism is a lie: companies are run for the benefits of upper management.

It's not only rank-and-file employees that have little leverage, average shareholders aren't much better off.

The government can try and make sure to keep barriers to entry low for competitors, and barriers to switching to competitors for employees. Competition keeps companies in line, even when it's executives running the show.

Yes, but impact of Bitfinex far, far greater. It represents about 0.75% of all Bitcoins. If you include only paper currency, there's almost $1 trillion in circulation (about 4x that if you include coins). I assume amount on deposit is much higher. However, being the most generous with the numbers, the Fed hack represents 0.002%.

Oh it gets better! The attackers can do things like entangle their stolen Bitcoin in systemically important institutions. Say, send 0.01 BTC to Coinbase. Coinbase is probably not operationally capable of separation that Bad Bitcoin from their Good Bitcoin before it's been comingled with customer funds. At that point, reversing T would also invalidate consequential transactions by Coinbase, which is probably something they can't allow to happen, so they would pay miners to not reverse.

That'd be a separate tort that would need to be proven. Simply having a difference of legal opinion and losing in court is not fraud. The outcome wasn't even thrown out on its merits, but on concerns about procedural fairness.

I'm generally in favor of some form of legalization, but I feel like this conversation has a tendency to become very hand-wavy and legalization can be overly evangelized as a panacea for systemic problems related to addiction.

Firstly, what does legalization mean? Legal to prescribe? Legal to purchase over the counter after a certain age? Full, unrestricted legality? In weaker forms of these I think there's a case to be made that a black market doesn't disappear, but perhaps changes its business model. There's still benefits to be gained, in terms of more safety to addicts from impurities, but it seems difficult to claim that you can really control an addicts dosage when a black market can arise to meet their wants for higher dosages.

I don't think we should criminalize addiction directly, but I think that's really only part of the picture.

Part of the troubles of being an addict stem from stigmatization. We need to evolve from seeing addicts as degenerates and liars and instead as people suffering. We need a social climate that encourages addicts to seek help without social or criminal penalties. We need more addiction treatment programs, and we need treatment programs that don't impose their own judgements about getting clean through substitute drugs. We probably need to have lesser penalties for crimes that may be related to addiction (i.e. petty theft to pay for an addiction) or else we're simply criminalizing the addict in another way.
This seems entirely appropriate. It would be consistent with the practice of news outlets sometimes not showing an ongoing police operation live.
This is something I don't quite understand. I have a hypothesis (based on observational anecdata) that left handed people generally don't use a dynamic tripod pencil grip, often times there is a fair bit of flexion at the wrist which result in the palm going over the wet ink. Otherwise how are RTL scripts (like Arabic and Persian) not encountering similar issues on right handed people? In fact those scripts require joining, and their calligraphy can get incredibly floral.
Terraform often beats CloudFormation to the punch for support of AWS services. Terraform is also far more friendly in terms of being able to preview what's going to happen and roll things back. If Cloudformation fails, it's really hard to fix, and too often you need to contact AWS to unstick a CF change. Basically you have no control over the process and you just have a poor web UI or a poorer API to interact with. When Terraform fails, the newest version gives you tools to edit and update your state and import existing resources, and even when things get ugly you are still in total control. In short, I have no reservations about endorsing Terraform over Cloudformation.

True, and I agree, but not the way stuff is usually done on LKML, thus probably not considered.

In this special case of a huge number of patches it might have been a good idea to present an RFC diffstat first, yes. Actually, I wish github had a .diffstat extension for pull requests, because often that's the first thing I care about before I know if I want to delve into a random big patch.

I work one day a week at a place where I am the only one who has a mechanical keyboard. It's not even a loud one ('cherry brown' switches). But I sit down and start working, and I'll occasionally hear someone say "Oh, is it Thursday already?", my presence announced by my keyboard-bashing...

In addition to having great motivation to write words and a cool platform to do it on, they also do some NLP analysis of your writing everyday.

I'm going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year on 750words, pretty sure they have a badge specifically for it.

It sounds like miners could find a replacement revenue stream even if block rewards go to zero and transaction fees are low: Hold the blockchain hostage for reversal and sell out to the highest bidder!

I subscribe to Ting and I'm happy with it. But, while very good, it's far from unique. I came in from another Sprint MVNO that was very good but slipping in value proposition. An MVNO is almost by nature a precarious thing. Major telecom? It's a subsidiary of Tucows, which will to me be forever be linked to '90s shareware downloads, its listing is basically an accident of the dotcom bubble, and it has a market cap of < $300 million. I'm guessing their domain name line easily rivals Ting in value. Healthy in its niche, but no major force. By comparison, Frontier, a smaller RBOC, is worth $5.6B, frigging T-Mobile is worth $9.5B.

What a puerile and intellectually dishonest rant.

Basically they're taking a situation that is notoriously complex and entrenched, with multiple interlocking tradeoffs and feedback loops; cherry picking a few of the driving factors, and throwing in a few offhand observations about the positions that "progressives" (as if this were an identifiable, let alone unified group) supposedly take in regard to these issues; and concluding with the innuendo that this "Them", this "Other", is "declaring war" on not just affordable housing, but on economic growth and progress itself.

And also:

Unlike progressives in New York City, who are often big supporters of density, San Francisco progressives have decided to focus on kicking the tech industry out of the city.

No, not bending over for every regulatory or other concession certain elements of an industry might want does not equal a drive to "kick them out." This is a scare card, pure and simple; it's meant to befuddle and distract, and sheds no light on the complex issues at root.
Just say No. If they fire you, just change companies.

No need to accept these conditions. Eg Google and Facebook are always hiring and treat their employees better than that.

That doesn't happen. The company has those debts. Not the individual.

In certain industries, in certain places, this is possible. For tech businesses in the US, it might even be the norm. But it is far from universal. My food business failed 3 years ago, and despite being an LLC, I'm still personally liable for brick and mortar leases, business loans, credit card debt, unpaid taxes, and outstanding invoices from suppliers. On good days I think I might get past this and be a member of society again, but this seems far from certain. You are welcome to argue that with better risk management this would not be the case, but your blanket statement "That doesn't happen" is false and offensive.
