In the current situation with a few popular cryptos, you still have the exact same problem. Using ShapeShift to change BTC to ETC is going to charge a miner fee.
> Does it really make sense in context of the worldview

it seems there is a strong postmodernist bent in the "anti-fa" crowd. words are now violence, and sometimes the use of "violence" is justified to defend against "violence" (ie self-defense and defense of others).

nevermind that this equivocation of "violence" means that anti-fa is assaulting, hospitalizing, intimidating and harassing people, and destroying property and businesses.

it's all a righteous and necessary defense against "violence". even though the "violence" they "defend" against is... words.

I find it also interesting that they only have 1.3M loc of Go given the 15+ teams and hundreds of engineers. I would expect this number to be at least 10x larger. They either still use a lot of Python or other languages or are very efficient at reusing code.
I was originally considering openhab, but then I discovered Home-Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) and I've been hooked since. It ticks off a bunch of check-boxes that made it a great home OSS solution:

Pro's

- No internet required, can run entirely on a Rasberry Pi

- Integrates with most everything thanks to the huge component library (https://home-assistant.io/components/)

- Easy to write your own Python component to integrate with new stuff

- Can use existing SmartThings/etc hubs or Z-wave usb stick to talk to most anything

- Fairly easy to write automations

- Well written Python 3 code-base that's fairly easy to read and see what's going on yourself

Con's

- Definitely more for the DIY tinkerer

- Need to write YAML for the automations, though a new GUI makes this easier for many cases

Setting up an SMS to me when a motion sensor tripped was pretty easy, my automation was:

action:
- service: notify.aws_sns

It was a courtesy, and also a formatting question.

Because it's going to wind up in the library archives (and proquest) for ever and ever, the university is quite strict about formatting. I checked about 6 months ahead of time to make sure that replacing the (C) symbol with the (CC) symbol on the copyright page wasn't going to cause any issues. If a thesis is not properly submitted to proquest, you don't graduate, so... wanted to tick that box off pretty early.
>I, too, recoil at it

But you're recommending this? This has advantages over inline styles, but doesn't avoid the main drawback of using them: difficulty to maintain and change.
Miners get the standard Ethereum transaction fees, payable in ether. The Digix tokens run on top of Ethereum, and the gold-backed token takes a percentage of each transfer; i.e. the Digix fees are paid in gold-backed tokens rather than ether.
> I'm not sure an environmental conscience is the reason, rather the cost of keeping your car taxed and insured, then finding somewhere for it to stay in London, and then finding a use for it, outweighs simply using public transport.

That's (part of) the reasoning behind car tax, petrol tax, etc.: to turn vague, idealistic goals (environmental concerns, efficient public transport rather than umpteem invididual cars, etc.) into concrete economic decisions.

The problem arises when these start to be abused, e.g. getting more people to drive in order to raise tax revenue ;)
This is true, if you're a java/jvm person, this is a huge upside, even if you aren't, once you see just how much code has been written in java, you'll probably come to appreciate the pragmatism.

When I learned clojure two years ago, I didn't have any experience with java or the jvm, so I had to sort of learn where the boundary was.

After that initial hurdle however, I now use java interop quite a bit.

Level Money, my beloved budgeting app, is shutting down

The point is not tax minimization (which every company does), it's what you do with the money thereafter. Amazon historically didn't hoard cash like, say, Apple, preferring to put most of the money back in the business, which is what I was talking about; however, looking at recent data, it seems like they've started significant accumulation of cash in 2014, and they're now sitting on $20bn+. I wonder what triggered this change.
> Clojure is a dynamic language.

Dynamically typed. As a dynamic language Clojure is less capable than many other Lisp implementations/languages. See for example 'late binding'. In Clojure you either need to define a function before its use or need declare it. Not that 'dynamic'. In a typical Lisp dialect the order of definitions makes much less a difference, since functions can be called late-bound. For an interpreter-based implementation, it makes no difference at all.

> It promotes combinations of built-in data structures (lists, maps, vectors) over objects

An aspect I don't like. This makes debugging of larger systems more difficult, since maps are maps. Whereas objects have a type tag built in, have a list of allowed fields, etc. etc. They simply have more more explicit and standardized structure to them.

> Some built-in features like reducers and transducers rely heavily on composing higher order functions for transforming other functions.

Which makes code complex, since transducers are a mildly complex mechanism.

> It encourages REPL-based development

In relatively weak form. Basic features of Lisp need to be added to do simple tasks: like 'instrumenting' code to debug it, since it lacks an interpreter or more capable compiler support. REPLs with actual interactive error handling are not standard. Interactive Lisp compilers like the one from SBCL give much more information and warnings.

Thus the Lisp development features are at best only medium-level.

> Historically, Lisp programmers weren't the biggest proponents of OOP

Funky, people from the Lisp community helped to shape OOP and explored much of it. From guys like Hewitt who developed the actors paradigm in the early 70s, Minsky who developed the frame theory mid 70s and inspired a whole range of OO programming in Lisp, to Howard Cannon who developed Flavors in 1979 with flexible mixins and multiple inheritance used to implement the object-oriented operating system parts of the MIT Lisp Machine, to Lieberman who developed OOP with prototypes mid 80s, to Kiczales who worked a decade on OO in Lisp (LOOPS, CLOS, Meta-object Programming, Object-oriented Protocols, Meta-level architectures, early Aspect oriented programming, ...).

Actually objects in the early Lisp were simply symbols with their property lists. These property lists could hold both normal attributes and also functions.

> the article mentioned that a electric bill in Cali can be upwards of $1000/yr.

I don't have an electric car, either.

It's a transit technology for medium distance. Jets spend a significant portion of a trip from LA to SF ascending to and descending from cruising altitude, where they perform most efficiently. To my understanding, Hyperloop is specifically targeted at those distances where jets don't have much time at their efficient altitude.which is what makes it somewhat competitive.
It's interesting to see how this comes across to people who are outside our ML/NLP bubble. I can definitely relate to the feeling of being confused at why something that looks sort of basic is supposedly significant.

> SpaceX is an entirely separate company from Tesla, and not public. Investing in Tesla is not investing in SpaceX

That may be strictly true, but I think most people consider Elon's ownership and direction of Tesla a big part of what supports the stock's price. Enough of Musk's loans for SpaceX are backed by Tesla stock for that to get a mention in their 10K

> Elon Musk has pledged shares of our common stock to secure certain bank borrowings. If Mr. Musk were forced to sell these shares pursuant to a margin call that he could not avoid or satisfy, such sales could cause our stock price to decline.

> Certain banking institutions have made extensions of credit to Elon Musk, our Chief Executive Officer, a portion of which was used to purchase shares of common stock in certain of our public offerings and private placements at the same prices offered to third party participants in such offerings and placements. We are not a party to these loans, which are partially secured by pledges of a portion of the Tesla common stock currently owned by Mr. Musk. If the price of our common stock were to decline substantially and Mr. Musk were unable to avoid or satisfy a margin call with respect to his pledged shares, Mr. Musk may be forced by one or more of the banking institutions to sell shares of Tesla common stock in order to remain within the margin limitations imposed under the terms of his loans. Any such sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline further.

The financial situation of his companies is very linked -- I personally think that was a big driver behind the purchase of Solar City since he had also used Tesla stock to back loans for that company as well.

It's classic idealistic futurism. We imagine a bright and shiny version of everything.

We don't think about handicapped people whose cars carry medication and equipment for them.

We don't think about carrying stuff like nail clippers, stain sticks tampons in the car, either. So we'll waste more money without persistent access to this infrequently-used items.

We don't think about occupational vehicles like plumbers' and electricians. With fewer ICE vehicles on the road, their vehicle maintenance will be more expensive and our maintenance and construction bills will increase.

Not that I'm arguing against car clubs, etc. I'm trying to validate your line of thought.
this brings back dialup/bbs memories...
If does not matter if your car is autonomous when you use it in different roads, streets or contexts. Two people will use it and one of them will have more accidents or more wear than the other. Each street has different probability to having a crash or get your tires stoled. And 'club' means that you pay an average, you'll pay for both your errors and the other's errors.

The idea that "everybody will want to share their car with strangers" is probably just this, a marketing desire IMHO. Bad drivers will want to share the car for sure, but a lot of common people would probably frown at the idea.

A lot of projects are done for the heck of it. Nothing wrong with that.

Native libraries is a good reason. Particularly GUI libraries.

I imagine Swift would be a decent target for a lisp, for app development.

GUI is a major missing area in clojure. There are some good efforts there, Seesaw targeting Swing, and fn-fx targeting JavaFX.
For comparison, it's also quite easy to mess up the performance of a JavaScript program, and yet it's part of a web standard. My recommendation in cases of poor performance is to improve Prolog systems by features that yield better performance. Examples: better virtual machines, JIT indexing, tabling, constraints, goal reordering as in Mercury etc., all of which are now becoming part of modern Prolog systems.

Important advantages of logic programs over functional ones is that logic programs are typically shorter and more general, and ideally well suited for describing domain-specific knowledge (such as styles and layouts) declaratively. Prolog is already part of the semantic web to considerable extent, albeit disguised as RDF and complex query languages with a different syntax than Prolog. It could have been Prolog all along, and some members of the committees have suggested that in fact.

About the religious thing, I think the catholic mindset is that the end of the world can't be predicted and anticipated. That you should worry less about it than the afterlife. Most protestant actually think the same way but protestantism is more diverse. If 9 out of 10 groups do not care about the apocalypse, you will not hear from them. You will hear from the JW-style preacher saying the end of the world comes next week.

Also, the notion of the rapture is pretty much a protestant interpretation. Most catholics see nothing to rejoice about in the apocalypse, even for good believers.

Back on the AI. Take this scenario: we make a software that's can be as smart as a human engineer, runs in 100% realtime speed on the fastest CPU we can produce. We know it is physically possible because our brain does that.

Buy all the CPU you can buy, compared to human researchers it is cheap. Make teams of hundreds of units (or whatever number is ideal). Put some team on the task of improving the parallelization of the AI program, some on the task of designing a faster CPU, some on the single-core optimization of the code, some on the theoretical research to improve the underlying algorithms. You'll quickly gain exponential results. Actually you will get a fast exponential rise of global intelligence.

The number of researchers will not show an exponential function but a steep step: almost overnight the number of minds working in R&D will change its order of magnitude. This is disruptive. All the currently researched and underfunded problems will be solved orders of magnitude faster. The small problems not worth solving nowadays will see teams of hundreds of top engineers devoted to them.

> The strategy of working harder, on the other hand, would imply that someone would be willing to supply exponentially rising amounts of energy. Again, even if some Zuckerberg or some shady government agency would be willing to play this game, you'd quickly run into hard limits.

Science fiction authors searched for that hard limit but do not see a roadblock until all of earth's matter has been converted to computronium and in a matrioshka brain, making us reach type II on the Kardashev scale. And I agree with them.

Yes, more energy will be required. So what? With enough research to improve generation and automation of construction and deployment of power plants, we can have an exponential rise in energy for quite a while. And if we mastered fusion, we could even go beyond type II civilizations.

> So yeah, AI is not the first game changing phenomenon in the history of humankind but it will change stuff. Like did bronze, railroads, or nukes.

I don't think humanity ever had an event of the same potential. Maybe the birth of civilization, when they started gathering in cities, but even these changes were pretty slow, and their effects happened at the time scale of human reproduction, that has not changed since millions of years. The changes we are talking about rely on our speed of CPU power production, which we improve constantly and that this process will accelerate.
