It does in his use case, which seems to be a relatively dodgy day trading firm, they are the ones who instigate the fees not the bitcoin network. Funding this by using localbitcoins would have cut down his wait time and his fees on the buy side, however for funding his account that firm would charge those fees whether it was bitcoin or bank transfer. Sure he would have paid small transaction fees on his bitcoin transactions but they would still be a fraction of the $35 international transfer fee from the bank.

Bitcoin is made at will out of thin air. It's just an arbitrary amount created every day. The creation rate was just picked by whoever created it. I think it can actually be changed by concensus.

I see no reason why an arbitrary rate is better than a rate chosen to minimize inflation and deflation.

Bitcoin basically is a fiat currency, except no government forces people to use it.

Please educate me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that is correct. Let me explain:

-- There are two kinds of OTP systems: ones that regenerate the code every n seconds, and ones that regenerate the code for every attempt

-- Considering the time-based code, each attempt has an n-choose-1 (1:n) chance of being correct, so your odds of matching the code are based on how many attempts you can make before the code changes. Since the codes can be re-used with no restriction, you have to start over fresh every time the code changes. So your ultimate chance of breaking the code is n-choose-x, or 1:(n/x). Therefore, you'd have to try 500,000 codes to have a 50% chance of forcing a random collision on a 6-digit code, and the odds only go up linearly with the number of guesses.

-- For the case where the code changes every time, each guess is once again an n-choose-1 chance (1:n). Once the code is regenerated, all information from the old code is lost (there is no forward bias on the next number), so it's once again n-choose-1. So, ultimately, you get to the same answer, which is that you have a 1:(n/x) chance of guessing the code.

Now, most OTP systems will accept several passwords before and after the valid key, in case the tokens have gotten out of sync, so there may be as many as 5 keys that will work at a given time. That is just a straight divider, meaning that you have a 5x better chance at any one time of guessing the right answer.

All that said, any sane password checker should be rate-limiting attempts, and locking out a user after, say, 10 or 20 attempts.

What's troubling to me about this drug is that broad-spectrum improvement of memory formation /does not/ seem to be a clear positive in many cases.

The poignant comment for me: "You don’t take it for granted because you understand you’re playing by someone else’s rules. Even today, Ricky and I often feel like that. Given the long odds we beat to get here, sometimes in our heads, our world feels very fragile; at any moment, the clock could strike midnight."

Very much like an underlying anxiety and background survival-threat.

I never went to Stanford or to an elite school. I don't feel that I grew up excessively poor, but I was fortunate that I grew up in a household where we didn't excessively bought All The Things. (That came later in a period in my life when I made enough to indulge in consumer goods for a few years).

What I'm most grateful for was a period in my life where I was working deep with meditation and shamanic practices to address very intense emotions -- including that feeling of "our world fees very fragile". I don't know where that came from, and yet it would pop in from time to time. There is also a path out of that where the world opens up and you realize this inner freedom -- to play, to laugh, to love, going beyond simply surviving from one day to the next.

There are reasonable issues that could be raised about various meta-data leaks with full-disk encryption. For example, in a completely naive per-file encryption scheme, the (approximate) file sizes would be visible. But I don't think "brute force" is a concern for reasonably modern encryption schemes. Of course, if they are using weak/short pins with a key derivation function, then that is vulnerable to brute force.

I read some where the definition to be as a software engineer who's primary role is to reduce risk.

Wow, this story resonated with me. I also have parents who were Chinese minority in north Vietnam. And my dad in fact had 16 siblings as well. And some of those siblings now live in Oakland.

Anyway, I recall growing up there was an incident that almost knocked me off course. My parents had been paying for a private school for years, and they let me know it was very, very, expensive. Even with a discount, pretty much everything was going to this school for me and my brother. They ran a restaurant, so food was cheap. Not a lot of other expenses, my dad somehow always knew a regular who could get a car or HiFi cheaply for us. I dressed like a slob.

So I applied to go to a government school. I knew it was going to be a culture shock, not only because they tended to speak the local language instead of English, but if it was so burdensome on the family, perhaps it was worth it. I had a friend who wanted to do that and actually did.

I mentioned it to a classmate of mine, and he told me not to. The best part of the school was high school, and we'd both be better off for university by staying there. A number of kids has gone to top universities from there. His family weren't rich either, also on a massive discount. So I mulled it over and stayed. My parents were supportive.

High school turned out to be worthwhile, despite some weird international school issues. I got into competitive maths, skipped a year in it, and generally did quite well socially. Got good marks, and went on to a top uni in the UK.

Which was also a bit of a culture shock. The mentioned buddy came for a visit and he told me he saw people walking around in top hats. There was definitely a lot of privilege around. One buddy invited me to his house, down the street from where Shakespeare grew up. This was a second home, his parents mostly lived in Italy, curating art. Guess how little I could speak about that.

Events seemed to cost a fortune, but it wasn't really the money that was weird, it was knowing how to dress. Some people seem to be born with the knowledge of what black tie means. And how to behave while wearing it. There were all sorts of conventions and special lingo that in retrospect seem trivial, but as a young kid you don't want to stray too far from the norm.

Anyway, one does survive such traumas. There are always people around who are very interested in your story, and understanding that people come from different backgrounds. It's not like the toffs actually hate you, a lot of them are quite curious.

> local drivers only make 15-25/hr

Really? I thought Teamster unions made that cost higher. My father made much more than that in the early 90s when he drove a truck temporarily for a salary. Unless local drivers aren't unionized?

The average salary for private drivers is much higher:

>> The median annual wage for a trucker that works for a private fleet, such as a truck driver employed by Walmart, is $73,000, according to ATA. The Labor Department pegs the median annual salary for all truck drivers at around $40,000. But it isn't an easy job to fill. There's 1.6 million truck drivers in America. Oct 9, 2015 [0]

Also long-haul trucking is the real goal of Otto [1] not just last-mile. The benefits go well beyond just replacing the driver's salary w/ robots. For example, an automated truck fleet could be heavily optimized by algorithms to take optimal routes, utilize time better, work for multiple warehouses at once by operating as a 'floating' fleet instead of with fixed routes (this is happening already with human drivers, but it's a natural extension of automating the vehicles and would make implementation/optimization far easier). Plus speeds could eventually be increased, less accidents, less breaks (washrooms, food, etc), less human management required, zero turnover, no training, no hiring, etc, etc.

This is a huge point. The knowledge (social, interpersonal, financial, image) gap between 'comfortably poor' and 'white collar professional' is deep and broad. College is valuable in that it makes - can make - the difference between a broad gap and a narrow gap. Most of that is not the substance of the courses, but the substance of the collegiate community.

Often I have difficulty coming up with the appropriate words to describe to my peers brought up in the professional environment how very different life is when you're not in the white collar world.
I like the 'weakly pure' concept in D. A function like

Many major innovations occurred from individuals experimenting on themselves. In fact, it's one of the few ways to make progress when you have overbearing regulatory agencies.

You should be glad that many enterprising "sample sizes of one" are willing to become anecdata for everyone else.

Carry on, intrepid experimenters! Some of us appreciate your reckless abandon.
