"The actual cost is now $206 and over $1000 forecasted, it makes me think twice about using pay-per-use services in the future."

Never use a pay-per-use service that does not include a reasonable "turn off after $X" feature and appropriate warnings. Also, never use such services without being sure to configure such settings.

I like to think of this as a self-inflicted "DDOC" attack: Distributed Denial of Capital.

People are rightly criticizing this study, but for the wrong reasons.

1. There is no establishment of causality, but the article pretends there is. People who use marijuana may use it because they have high-stress lives.

2. It only applies to smokers. About 70% of the marijuana products at the dispensaries I've been to are not meant to be smoked. To quote the original article ['Recreational marijuana is primarily smoked; we hypothesize that like cigarette smoking, marijuana use will be associated
with increased cardiovascular mortalities']

3. No link to original study. [I think it's this: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/2047487317723212]

4. This could be a million different things. This could be related to the stress of being afraid of being fired, or arrested. This could be tainted drugs from bad suppliers. This could be because marijuana smokers are more likely to take drugs that do change blood pressure.

Isn't paypal much faster than crypto currencies at doing the same? The normal banking system is quite slow (in part for good reasons) but the digital currencies that came before the crypto currencies are much better at this already, and better than bitcoin will ever be.

> beyond that lawsuit being a convenient stalking horse against a target that he already wanted to take out.

OK, so why did he have it in for Gawker?

They outed him as gay against his will while he was in Saudi Arabia.

(Edited To Add: I can't find any good cites saying he was in Saudi Arabia at the time, so I don't know one way or the other right now. Regardless, the outing itself was morally wrong, so my argument doesn't change.)

That's behavior which should be punished, morally, even if it isn't illegal. It's certainly behavior which anyone with a brain can realize would lead to making the person you outed an enemy.

It seems Gawker's main sin was making an enemy of someone who could hurt them, and the injustice here is that most assholes don't have such enemies.

What you're suggesting means abolishing student loans, since no student can (presently) repay their loan amount (or they wouldn't need it), and you're speculating on their future prospects. That is one option, but as I said elsewhere in my post, most options make it so that poor people can't go to college. That, IMHO, is bad for society.

Anecdote to support this comment:

I feel as if could be called slightly right of center. That being said, I use logic to evaluate different issues then rank them in importance to me. In November, I voted for a third party candidate because I had serious issues with both main party candidates. That said, I seriously considered tossing aside my moral issues with Clinton and voting for her as a vote against Trump because I saw a scenario (which ended up happening) where Trump could win.

Nine months later, my position has completely flipped. If Trump runs in three years, I am seriously considering voting for him as a "fuck you" vote due to the reaction to his election and Presidency over the last 9 months. I grew up and live in a rust belt city that used to be a manufacturing center. The complete slander, and misunderstanding, of the people I grew up and live with is incredibly difficult for me to swallow. I'm sure that everyone would love a former President who is campaigning for his wife coming into their back yard and disgustedly refer to them as "coal people," while expecting their vote. [1] When it is repeatedly espoused that we don't understand what we voted for, or when a SF elite tells a us that we need to be fixed to attract people with the right ideas [2], or that we should simply move to a place where there are jobs (friends, family, and community be damned) it gets harder and harder to explain that it isn't that simple. And when we try to explain what we feel or we believe we are told that someone else has it worse and to just adjust so that we can be accepted. I'm tired of being labeled as a racist or homophobic and being told my opinions are so obviously wrong, they are not even worth discussing.

So, yes. There are definitely people who aren't going to speak out, who are going to toe the line, and then they will cast a giant "fuck you" vote come November 2020. I might be one of them, but I will probably end up voting 3rd party again instead of letting my emotions get the best of me.

Fascinating how many questions / comments in this thread question if crypto currency macro even has a use case in this world.

And for good reason.

Is it a currency? Yes and no.

Is it a store of value? Yes and no but sure is volatile.

Is primary use case illegal transactions? Definitely, sometimes.

Is it a anarchist mechanism to shelter wealth and detach from any nation state? Yes absolutely, probably most of the China money that drove the last price bump was getting cash out of China.

Is it a pyramid scheme? Absolutely in many cases, ICOs are making this way easier.

The answer I've arrived at, and why I am compelled by crypto is that in each use case above it has the potential to be the BIGGEST, at a scale never recognized before.

EG

Crypto could be the biggest currency. All it takes is adoption and figuring out scaling. Way easier to transact in a flat-world with a portable currency.

Crypto could be the biggest store of value. The beautiful math behind bitcoin (and others) is self-limiting creating real scarcity. With mass adoption will come stability.

Crypto could drive the majority of illegal transactions. If they figure out privacy more completely it's the perfect mechanism.

Crypto could become the "people's" wealth vault, and undercut nations ability to tax & control markets by truly privatizing wealth. All it takes is MOST of us to decide.

And finally, because it's entertaining to think about, Crypto could drive the biggest pyramid scheme the world has ever seen. There is absolutely no SOFTWARE of structural limitation to running a $1 trillion dollar end game pyramid on Crypto. In fact you figure out the privacy side, add in mass adoption and you could just leverage the current ICO structure for it.

I love crypto because it's boundless.

You have to have some imagination and blind faith to believe any of the use cases above will become true.

But the fun part is there is no limiter on any of those things becoming true.

I wouldn't doubt that. I have a carbon-neutral wireless electric weed-eater. Throw some spinning blades on it, and it will cut down small trees too. I also have a carbon-neutral wireless electric lawnmower. And a carbon-neutral wireless electric snowblower.

You can buy all three yourself, today, in the US at almost any Home Depot store nationwide.

What attack vector are you thinking of that makes a terminal emulator more vulnerable than any other piece of GUI software?
I know I already replied but I forgot to mention another great usage of a blockchain: Logging. Not general-purpose logging, no. I'm talking about SOX-like "must be tamper-proof" transaction logging.

So say you've got central logging setup at your organization. You're smart and are using rsyslog with SSL/TLS and your own CA. For the most part you can reasonably claim that your log messages are secure from the server that emitted them to the destination in your central logging system but can you guarantee they're not modified after that? No. You can't.

From this perspective using a blockchain for logging security-critical events would be extremely useful. It would be impossible for an attacker to modify the logs after-the-fact so that you could no longer determine which account they used to login.

You wouldn't want to use it for general logging because of the overhead but for things like login events, reboots, etc it would be fantastic.
There's this trend of Expert Systems being commented on as a failure and starting some sort of AI winter, yet to my knowledge they were among the first commercially viable digital animation tools, the first high speed trading platforms, and are still being used successfully in military planning.

This entire post is incredibly dangerous.

> Having good people skills often has little to do with science or even the truth.

I can only assume you're liberal based on your stance, but you do an enormous amount of damage to progressive values and true diversity when you state things like this. Establishing harassment as something independent and impervious to truth creates the ultimate echo chamber that enables a post-fact world. So anyone who comes to you with a fact or a quantum of reality you don't like should be considered a harasser? How does this apply when you write your own positions? Truth is what allows us to move forward as a society, and to ignore it is to doom us to follow what makes us feel better, not what's right. There are numerous examples through out history where I'm sure the majority would have liked to ignore facts in order to make themselves feel better and maintain the status quo. Good people skills has everything to do with leading us to better and positive understanding of objective truth.

You create a strawman diverting from the document in question by talking about "sweeping generalization about blacks," when the previous poster was clearly addressing the document, not your flimsy hypothetical. And yet, you then proceed to paint tech folks below management as completely lacking in the people skills to understand management and your enlightened position.

To be clear, I thought the conclusions of the document were dumb, but your handling of controversial topics strikes me as equally dangerous, if not more so. I think your heart is in the right place, but strive to be like John Milton in how you digest the arguments of others: "I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed..."

He's being ridiculous. I live and work in SF. Restaurants here are definitely expensive! But my wife and I get "decent lunches" for $60, not $200. A quite nice dinner for date night is probably $120-$150. (And if we were more price-conscious, I'm pretty sure that we could get "decent" lunches and "quite nice" dinners for less than we pay).

You can of course spend much more than that if you choose. But $200 is nothing remotely close to the minimum you'd spend for a "decent lunch."

The minute you realize the use case around privatization of global wealth you can begin to underwrite its probability.

Because the crypto platform provides the OPTION for that to happen at scale.

And crypto gives people globally the opportunity to make the decision and vote with their personal wealth (and mining power).

Even though Bitcoin was initially called a cryptocurrency, I think it's now becoming more clear that cryptocurrencies are more like "cryptoassets" [1] or crypto commodities.

Some of the people who started calling it digital gold a while back got it right. Using Bitcoin is more like using gold (not necessarily physical gold) to pay for stuff. Gold's value also fluctuates significantly over one year's time.

I agree with many of your points. I didn't have an issue with the time or complexity - I cook most nights and spend a lot of time doing it so this wasn't an issue.

My biggest problems were that #1 it's expensive relative to what I would pay to buy my own ingredients (especially for no leftovers), and #2 a lot of waste in the process. Specifically regarding waste, a lot of extra shipping packaging and each individual item is often individually wrapped in plastic. I get that they might not have any easy choices, but it seemed excessive and after a while it didn't sit well with me.

At the end of the day, I view this as an occasional luxury and not an everyweek thing like they want it to be. It's considerably more sustainable to go to the local farmer's market and grocer to pick up healthy, locally-grown produce and meats that are fresher and cheaper.

The recipe cards are by far the best part and I will give them a lot of credit for crafting some real tasty meals. I have made several meals more than once on my own with the recipe card.
All I can figure with this stuff is that they're trying to weed out people too dumb and/or naive to effectively lie on something like this.

I think the idea is that, since the blockchain nodes are running in a TEE, that any participant in the network can get an attestation to be sure that no one has tampered with the rules of the network. You don't need to personally validate each transaction as long as you are sure that the network is running the correct code.

It seems that permissions are set in each contract with identities tied to Azure AD members. I might be wrong about that. The white paper is pretty long and I only had time to skim it.
'because it's "incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions" (the very definition of a blockchain)'

I would think that blockchain requires it to be a distributed ledger. A non-distributed digital ledger is simply a Merkle tree?

You can use non-blockchain cryptography to guarantee that.
