You might want to consider F# as well. It supports both lazy and greedy functional programming very nicely.
Whatever inflation is being measured should be linked to the choices people are making, otherwise what is the point of measuring it?

You need to get higher education, at least bachelors if not masters level, in order to secure a decent income. The cost of this higher education increases at a ridiculous rate, and it's one of the biggest purchases a young person makes.

Then you need to live near a city, the bigger the better. That's where all the jobs are and since work is much more fluid, you need to be where there are many employers. Also, you the advantages of networking capabilities in cities will give you a shot at going big. Living costs near large cities have also increased at a rapid pace, whether it be a home or rental. If you're going to have kids, you want them in the best schools, so you pay high property taxes or pay for private school. Best thing you can do to increase the odds of financial success for your kids is to make sure they go to school with other rich kids and have an wealthy network.

Then you get start getting sick and need medical care. This is also one of life's huge, unavoidable expenses. There is absolutely no way inflation is low for you if you depend on certain medicines, just read the headlines, the price could skyrocket anytime if the patent holder chooses to.

Agreed. But please also consider the extra benefits for welfare recipients. Extra clothing support. Generous checks to buy their first furniture, laundry machine, TV. Maybe even a computer (not sure about the computer).

Fact is, even as a full working engineer your available money is not significant different. A policeman with two kids and his wife not working has less money as such a family living on welfare. In fact, he would qualify for subsidiary income.

In the United States, which contains 8 percent of the world's forests, there are more trees than there were 100 years ago. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), "Forest growth nationally has exceeded harvest since the 1940s. By 1997, forest growth exceeded harvest by 42 percent and the volume of forest growth was 380 percent greater than it had been in 1920." The greatest gains have been seen on the East Coast (with average volumes of wood per acre almost doubling since the '50s) which was the area most heavily logged by European settlers beginning in the 1600s, soon after their arrival.

I suggest you try cycling as your main means of transportation in your city for a few weeks.

The key to surviving as a cyclist using bad cycle infrastructure is to be flexible and aware of the dangers around you. Crossing at a crosswalk is a reasonable response to drivers who don't check their mirrors and don't signal before turning. Running a red light when there is no cross traffic is a reasonable response to the fact that cars and bikes have different abilities to get up to speed from a stop and impatient drivers (especially, again, turning ones) are a huge risk to cyclists.

It's absolutely true that cyclists are often not strict rule-followers, but the rules are designed for cars which are large, fast, heavy, and can cause huge amounts of damage, while cycles are small, slow, light, and can cause at best small amounts of damage.

As a cyclist, I have to ride as if every single vehicle is actively trying to kill me.

This is the original piece comment we are talking about:

> He needs to be replaced by a woman

It's evident that the objective is to hire a women, not to hire a qualified person, therefore a less qualified person can be hired just because she is a women. A person hired like this would most likely not get too much respect because she had an advantage not because of her skill, but her gender.

Yeah, I was specifically referring to the crypto ideologues who have a fundamental distrust of fiat currency and think that bitcoin somehow solves governance problems. The eth hard fork to protect the investments of developers and early adopters should have disabused people of that notion.
Here's[0] an interesting take on a possible way forward to achieve that, very much inline with the recent ICO trend.

In general I think the token design space is an extremely interesting one, and seeing how different models lead to different social structures and outcomes will be extremely interesting.

Of course this is not new (currently reading Debt: the first 5000 years), its just radically easier than before, to design, deploy, and use. As a result we'll see an explosion of variety, diversity, and competition, which'll be fascinating to see.

Already the differences in ICO mechanisms are extremely interesting, though they have a long way to go.

He misses the point that the developers do not control bitcoin; the miners control bitcoin. The developers suggest improvements which will only be adopted if the miners support those improvements.

The miner's interests are purely profit based, so they will not adopt changes which reduce their chance of profit.

>drip 10k BTC into the market and liquidate several hundred thousand coins over the next year.

Really ? You could put 10k BTC on sell side per day and the market wouldn't collapse in a week or two ? From what I can see on this exchange : https://www.bitstamp.net/market/tradeview/

You could push it below 2k$ with less than 10k BTC, I'm assuming there are bigger exchanges - I'm not following BTC close - is there an aggregate of exchange bids on big exchanges ?
You could claim the blockchain will transform the economy some day, but to claim it has is plainly false. It's still a niche system, and Bitcoin's seeing rapidly rising transaction fees (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees...) because of the block size issue right now.
Because bottom line, the only thing it improves is that there is no longer need to move the money around in armored cars, and that is not high impact in the bottomline of the economy

You lose the following:
1 - Ability control monetary policy
2 - Reduction in theft via cost in effort (same thing as with e-voting and rigging elections)

Because of that you have seen that blockchain stuff works on countries where 1 is badly handled. everywhere else nobody really cares except for the hype.

I always thought of bitcoin as a commodity, not a currency. It seems to solve the same problems and follow the same rules. E.g.: a commodity (such as gold) can not be created, but it is an important feature for a currency. Without inflation it will never be a good choice for currency anyways because it will always be a more interesting to hold on it rather than use it.
Interesting points about enforcement.

But I think the real barrier to adoption is that most people don't mind using centralized systems. If their Visa card works when they swipe it, they don't think beyond that. If it's easier for the end user when systems are centralized, breaking people out of this mindset will be very difficult.
the article is spot on when it comes to Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) but misses the point of Bitcoin.
Many in the community cite the lack of governance as a strength of Bitcoin. It's resilience is a virture because it becomes difficult to corrupt, unlike centralized governance of traditional payment methods.

Inflation measure (CPI) doesn't include real estate (and stocks etc), a single biggest cost young people will have to face in life. Unless they want to rent forever (and rent prices are not included in the official inflation rate either as social housing is over represented). So I can't take such inflation reporting seriously as that's a major omission.

And young people are the most affected by this shady way of calculating inflation as they are the ones that need to buy real estate to get on the property ladder.

>>> The fact that some people make life choices that subject them to rising costs doesn't really have anything to do with inflation.

Buying a house is not a life choice. It's a necessity.

> I have a kind of private pension fund for freelancers, which, if I understand correctly, is technically already my money, so it can't be looted to fund the retirement of someone who retires before I do.

Wrong.

The only difference is that your pension fund will not be "looted", it will have to cut its payouts because its investments don't yield the same returns as they did before. Inflation will do the rest.

Private pension funds and investments are no more sustainable or "honest" than public pensions.

The underlying problem is the same: the currently working population has to produce the goods and services for themselves as well as for pensioners. If they cannot produce enough of something, some people won't get that thing, and it doesn't matter what some numbers in accounts say.
