I agree with most of what you say, except for the implicit presumption that the general case is important. We don't need to ban all lies, we just need to stop some. Perhaps prohibit news organizations from lying; then we only need to figure out how to do that without falling into censorship.

I agree with you entirely that science is unfairly characterized. We need some more Mythbusters. They were doing science, perhaps with less rigor than people like, but how much rigor do you need to know you can't clean a cement with truck with 2 tons of RDX weapons grade explosives? It is cool to know that 1 stick of dynamite will clear a thin casing of cement sometimes.

I think it would do a great deal of good just spreading the the ideas that you can learn things by trying stuff while observing the world and sometimes ideas you already hold might be wrong (and you know this when your "knowledge" contradicts reality).
>Some kinds of money surely existed before anything recognizable as a "state"

I wouldn't be so sure. As far as I know, current academic consensus is that in primitive societies, where everyone knows everyone, it comes down to a system of favors and everyones natural sense of what's "fair". These are relatively small groups of people, so there's a lot of trust involved. No need for any sort of currency there
Your bank might be worried, but if you use a 'reputable' exchange that does KYC/AML, e.g. GDAX or Gemini, it should be alright. You might want to space out the bank transfers.

> Is python a bad introductory language because it's not named "A Dynamic Language With Syntax that Looks Like Pseudo Code and Significant Whitespace"?

OTOH we say Python is a programming language, where both of those words have other meanings and uses that aid in both initial understanding and later recall. We don't say Python is a "squabitle flop-tangle" to mean the same thing.

I think that when it comes to labeling concepts, given the option of either names that provide a bit of grip or mirror-smooth ones that may only be conquered by direct, silo'd memorization, the former are preferable when possible.

I would strongly suggest that there be an option to list existing solutions. A sustainable model means identifying real needs, not duplicating products that people are merely ignorant of.

> But, one's ability to buy things seems to be improved...

It's only improved if there is a lot of investment and new / more products coming out. deflationary currency promotes holding on to your money so that it goes up in value, but if everyone does that there will be less products / services and the value of the currency will ultimately go down. If currency has some inflation, then it's used as a transaction currency so that you want goods rather than currency, so the product becomes the important thing. If you have too much inflation however you get way too much money for the amount of products, so you want stable inflation.
I was thinking the foot traffic would be a problem but your brother post had a pretty good point.
It's almost impossible, for two reasons:

1) It's incredibly difficult to create strategies that work because there are thousands of highly trained, highly paid people working to create strategies.

2) Any strategy that you do create will self-correct over time and become useless, as strategies find examples where the market has misjudged prices; by exploiting the strategy, the market should, over time, stop misjudging the prices.

The "EMH" that the parent is referring to is the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which states that the market price is the "correct" price, and that it is impossible to predict a better price, as the current price incorporates all possible information.

I, personally, don't subscribe to that version of the EMH; I believe the one implied by 1), which is that it's difficult to compete with the thousands of math PhDs working on Wall Street.
What are your competitors, and how do you differ? I find small screens like iOS and Android (assuming most users use a mobile phone-like device) are hard to do any significant work on - how does this influence your instruction flow & corresponding UX?
You did ask for practical. First I'll say this isn't easy to answer in concrete terms. But someone will one day.

One concept would be to raise funds that can allow you arbitrage at a scalable level. Request funds (ICO) and have the smart contract enable a certain subset of those funds for your organization to use to arbitrage other crypto's. Profits are spread across stakeholders based on their investment, represented as the tokens they generated in the ICO.

Enforce this by only allowing a certain part of the funds to become available at certain times based on performance. Stake holders could vote using a contract to determine if more funds should be released.

We use JS encryption heavily in a number of our webapps, so I'm not unfamiliar with its advantages. But relying on JS encryption to provide "security" over unencrypted HTTP is just asking for trouble. It's the "secure on paper, broken in practice" kind of thing that ends up being a huge liability.

Yes, stream fusion is super nifty. But can Haskell alter the size of the chunks it's sending through the stream? There was a recent HN thread about how GNU 'yes' is so fast thanks to buffering. Obviously too large a buffer would blow out the cache and stream fusion avoids that but a moderate amount of buffering so that you're neither working array by array nor element by element but cachable chunk by cachable chunk should be a happy middle. And with Haskell lists reduce pointer chasing as well.

But the problem is that soft forks can do basically anything. Yes, even increase the block reward, in a roundabout way, (by using added extension blocks that have special rules, and then requiring all transactions to go through the extension blocks.)

What Darphe said in their reply. But yeah, you can setup pages for private repos. That's mainly what I was thinking. I currently do that for a few projects. You can have a private repo and still use github-pages, it just obviously exposes the pages to the public technically (but not the repo code).
If there are any, they'd probably be discussed in the actual papers and not here. I don't know if the UK is better, but at least in the US, university press releases about this or that research paper are usually garbage.

> make an agreement that is enforced by a smart contract

Please give me an example of how an agreement can be enforced by a smart contract.

> When an actor fails to live up their obligation they are refused payment

It works the same way with colored pebbles.

> There is no way to take off with something that is not yours

Why not? I know this is an abstract question in this context which is why I asked for a practical example so we could share a thought experiment regarding how the use of a smart-contract would play out in real life.

> There is no reliable or efficient way to cheat

Cheat what? Once again this is totally abstract. Seems to me like cheating is just as easy if not easier because the role of law-enforcement is questionable at best and nonexistent at worst. To cheat, all I have to do is agree to the terms of the contract then violate it after I have secured the funds or property. Then what?

> You don't have to know the other actors you are making an agreement for something with

I'll grant that this is possible and useful in special cases (e.g. online drug markets), but that is a benefit of blockchain money and smart contracts don't offer any benefit

> far less complex

This is certainly not the case, as victims of the DAO and orphaned eth blockchain can attest to.

>, as we don't live in such small communities,

Right, that's today's situation. My "government not required" is talking about how ancient money can arise spontaneously without a separate entity that we think of today as "government". If we think of "money" at its basic level of keeping track of "promises", "favors", and "trust" ... all those human instincts of coordination can precede old governments like the Roman Empire and Egyptian pharaohs. It just can't do so on a large scale among strangers.

>2 people [...] they're basically acting as a government in themselves

If we go back & forth by then redefining "government" to mean "any humans coordinating" then I suppose we could stretch "governance" all the way back to human invention of fire. If we use this all-encompassing idea of "government", then I suppose it means nothing preceded government.

I don't think so. There was an encryption scheme thought up and partially implemented about a decade (or two?) ago that allowed for an arbitrary number of partitions to exist in a single encrypted drive. It was called 'rubber hose' because the scheme was designed such that it was impossible to determine how many partitions existed inside the encrypted drive.

I don't think it's a scheme that's even relevant to this context, though.
