So you think there's zero chance of collusion between exchanges as well? Isn't there some evidence that bots are currently active on major exchanges? I keep hearing about suspicious activity on Bitfenix... aren't they one of the largest exchanges?

> The chance of the same illegal manipulation happening at very high profiles exchanges like Coinbase/GDAX or Gemini who are VC-funded and run by respectable executives is very low.

Yeah, I don't expect this to be occurring at US companies who presumably could be prosecuted for fraud. But what about other companies that are based in countries with less regulation (or with regulators that could be paid to look the other way)?
Yeah -- or at the very least, diversify.

But that's part of the problem: utility isn't observable so it's actually very difficult to refute the model.

Unless of course you posit a specific functional form for the utility function. Then you'll just have lots of trouble fitting any data you collect.
Bitcoins are not like some manufactured physical item where a group of people can collectively seize the means of production with force to control supply of said item. It would be kind of funny if the CCP views it that way but I doubt they do. They probably have more knowledge about how Bitcoin works than everybody on HN combined.
Unfortunately I fear that Google has become too big for the whole world and will slurp up everything that can be a competition, just like they slurped up youtube too at one point in time. And we all know that money moves people, so there is that - github, patreon, twitch. Google has things to buy.
Is there any integration for review channels on iOS/Android app stores? Google play console currently has some tools around review analysis but I don't believe the Apple app store does. This could be really helpful.

Indeed, from what I'm reading it looks like most of the usual JS tasks (like DOM manipulation, listening to input, and network requests) still need to happen by your WebAssembly module calling out to normal JS.
1) Make sure your harddrive is encrypted using Filevault (It's actually firevault 2). Make sure that you require a password to login and that if you're away from your computer for 5 minutes that you need to login with a password. I believe that Mac's have a find your laptop/remote wipe your laptop.

If you're working for a company suggest setting up a MDM management system like Jamf or Fleetsmith (GSuite may also support macs, but I'm not sure). These will allow you to automate setups including the forcing of encryption. Jamf at least has the remote wipe ability built in.
I think you missed the additional "Github Desktop Helper" processes that every Electron app spins up. In my case, the app eats 190MB just being there...without even adding a repo or authenticating a user.

Lost

by Carl Sandburg

Desolate and lone

All night long on the lake

Where fog trails and mist creeps,

The whistle of a boat

Calls and cries unendingly,

Like some lost child

In tears and trouble

Hunting the harbor's breast

And the harbor's eyes.
“tech tries to be very meritocratic, but sometimes it gets taken a little too far. People are often suspicious of others who dress nice.”

That doesn't sound like taking meritocracy too far. It sounds like prejudging different attire.
That seems to focus on the wrong section.

Section 10.8 illustrates how commercial banks create money by lending.

What the blog entry you linked to talk about is government deficits, and how the textbook clash with the MMT idea of governments regulating the money supply via expenditure and taxes (effectively creating money as they buy goods and services, and destroy it via taxation).
Most popular Linux distributions, MacOS, and the major BSDs support QEMU & the tools you'll need.

Yeah. They have now become dependent on external decision makers.

I wonder if we'll have to read notes such as "how patreon was once great" ... before a sell-out to some other company will happen.

However had, that being said, I applaude the guys who actually bootstrapped the whole thing. The 60 million is of course great, but I think that their INITIAL idea worked in practice, is much, much cooler than the 60 million they got.

Current debian:stable-slim is 55.3MB and is already optimized for containers (see: https://gist.github.com/Zorbash/183b80d37bd0a09434e3a2b1a958...).
Had too look around a bit but indeed chapter 10 on banks and credit talk about how commercial banks effectively print money as they extend loans.

Just wish they would drop the whole "patient and impatient agents" stuff. I fear this will be another Keynes where over time orthodox economists will find a way to warp of redefine the text into something that simply restate their old beliefs.
I am not so sure about emacs, could be plugins though. Disclaimer: I hate electron apps.

Of course, in the pre-internet age we were forced to outsource our thinking to the press instead, it's just that you're less likely to see them running articles about how they themselves are waging a war on our free will.
The Salary chart is interesting, both because of how US developers earn more than other Western countries, but mainly how a median developer with 20 years experience earns 60% more than a first job developer. I wonder how many other professions have that low a rate of pay increase - or maybe its just grads are overpaid, not sure.

WordPress itself, as in the source code, can definitely handle however many visitors gets thrown at it. Where you'd have to scale is the amount of RAM where your website sits. I've been pretty successful with testing 10,000 visitors over a minute period on 512 MB of RAM without issues, though I recommend you have at least Memcached installed and enabled.

If you're talking about 100,000+ visitors, than you'd probably want to get some good advertising and update your RAM.
Git-LFS lets you use it with large files, and even without Git-LFS you can still use it for smaller projects (it's not efficient at all, but for small teams and small projects you can do it).

Github is making a play to be the "Git for Everyone people". Note they call out that the new client has image diffs (great for... graphic design versioning).

They're forming a brand that could eventually compete with stuff like Perforce on a smaller scale with designers and artists if they can make them feel at home using "GitHub" (Git + creature comforts from GitHub).

And to the developer point, everyone starts somewhere. As a kid Git didn't click until I started using visual clients. And "the command line" is a huge surface to get comfortable with.
Bitnami co-founder here. Most of what we produce is open source and we aim to make money in ways that are useful to companies but not limit or handicap our offering and alienate people. For example, we offer optional backup and monitoring services through Bitnami Cloud Hosting (https://bitnami.com/cloud/hosting) and we also have commercial services for ISVs that want to package their commercial apps through our platform. We also provide support for infrastructure providers (i.e. cloud vendors) that want the applications integrated with their platforms in specific ways
ah, my mistake, i was just looking at the numbers on apple's comparison tool. thanks for the correction.
The section you're complaining about is under the chapter basically explaining why you should care about economics.

The whole book is packed with stuff far and wide, such as pure microeconomics for those who just need to understand demand and supply curves and to how taxes work. From what I've seen so far, it's actually very traditional economics 101 for the most part, but I've admittedly just jumped around the chapters and read only four sections.
I was really just referring to the fact that in section 10.8 they ditched the fractional reserve / money multiplier story that you find in eg. Mankiw's book. I honestly don't know enough about government budget constraints to comment on the mainly macro post, or other aspects of MMT in general.
Maybe for you.

It is hard to measure, but yes, people did try, both at the time and in more recent eras. To some degree the end of the first World War was a confounding factor, but the bulk of the sources I've seen support the parent's claims. The real effect of Prohibition was to change the quality of the alcohol consumed, for the worse (and even more unfortunately, one of the darker episodes of Prohibition involved the US Government deliberately poisoning alcohol). So, a quick search pulled up this[0] as a reference, but I'm sure that you can follow your interests to other results as you deem meet.

There are a lot of unsatisfying answers to this question on the thread. Put another way, why does Patreon need $60M when Kickstarter grew to 134 FTEs on $10M investment?

+ That the ecosystem has changed in the last few years?

+ Are they trying to do something substantively more intensive than Kickstarter?

It's interesting that we might view Patreon as "begging", rather than selling your work to more people, for a smaller amount.
The Bitcoin bubble could still be the result of government action even though Bitcoin is not a creature of government. For example, if China is preventing its citizens from moving money offshore that action could result in a Bitcoin bubble as Chinese citizens use Bitcoin to work around government restrictions. Now that China is clamping down, the bubble (if there is one) could pop.

The same thing has happened with Chinese buyers driving up the price of random short domain names.

You can have dynamic types that give you something similar. Overloading is much more difficult (though not impossible, few dynamic languages allow overloading outside of the receiver; e.g. In Dylan).
I didn't really entrust my personal information, my friendships, my CV or anything else to the press. In fact, there was no institution comparable to social media that so intimately, on a personal and individual level interfered with my life.

Sure, reading certain newspapers or others was and is a way for people to shape their views of the world, but it is very much a one way relationship. I can read what I want or I don't, but there is no intimate connection.

Also the press at least is in part a civic institution, it's held responsible to at least some common standard. Social media, which is entirely private and corporate operates in opaque fashion bound to basically nothing but their own interest.
That's how it was in the US about 15+ years ago (in Oklahoma at least). I don't think there was any kind of law about it, it's just how it was done. You pumped, then when inside to pay. Occasionally, you'd come across a gas station in a bad area, and they had a sign to pay inside before you pumped (due to people pumping and then speeding off).
I think it was sarcasm :)

Positioning this "course" like an objective treatment of economics is the kind of subtle academic dishonesty that breeds anti-intellectualism. Most people recognize the difference between this and a real textbook even if they can't articulate it. They just end up distrusting academics in general which hurts us all.
> It's chicken or egg: index funds are successful because people invest in index funds, therefore index funds are...

This presumes that the only reason stocks are in the index is because of index investors, which is not the case.
Gas station workers probably don't have the technical know-how to spot a skimmer.
This is so backwards. Tech-men-wearing-hoodies is the result of men in SV having no idea what to wear to work. It's abstinence from fashion, not sexism. These hoodies aren't a status symbol, and aren't worn to signal anything except perhaps transparent apathy.

More controversially, the question "why aren't there more women in tech" makes me wonder "why are there so many men in tech?" Many males in tech aren't there because of the status, but because it's a safe place to be a weirdo. And to not care about fashion. (Many, only, not all. This is not to discredit what injustice does occur.)

Debit vs credit.

AFAIK ALMOST NO US-based banks issue chip+pin credit cards. Only chip+signature. Debit cards are indeed chip+pin, but in USA you'd have to be careless to ever use a debit card anywhere but an ATM.

The biggest earners are, to the best of my knowledge, mostly adult artists. Not porn stars, but artists who create erotic artwork, often for 'niche' communities. I imagine Patreon does not want to shout too loudly about that sort of thing, but I am extremely glad they are there making the world a better place. Our culture can never be made 'advertiser friendly' overall and its disgusting to see the degree of puritanical prudishness on display at most tech companies. They are stultifying human culture and actively preventing actual humans to be the ones determining what constitutes our culture. Patreon works directly against that, and for that they are angels.

If they ever move to boot adult creators, that will be the day Patreon dies. If they ever get bought by Google or some other tech titan, it will be that day instead.
Isn't this the same as with traditional, format attire? Men are pretty much restricted to suits, women have much more room for creativity. I've always seen this as a bonus for women, not sexism.
No mention of who sold these slaves to the Europeans. For 1300 years, right up to the 20th century, the business was dominated by Muslim slavers. Slavery is truly America's original sin and will be a stain on her memory forever, but Europeans didn't just march in and grab them. They bought slaves wholesale from an African dealer network that goes back centuries.

I highly encourage you to get on something like patreon!

I support a number of artists on patreon, and I don't think of it as giving a handout or see them as begging - I'm paying them for the content that I consume, and I'm paying them to give them incentive (edit: and means) to continue producing that content. Sure, there's no formal contract, but I consider it a form of "work for pay" all the same.
Its not begging, it's capitalism.
I was skeptical of Bitcoin when I first heard of it. Now I think that it's here to stay. I don't think ICOs are a bubble either (not all of them at least). I think that we need more ICOs to increase the capacity of the internet of cryptocurrencies.

Digital currencies address a real problem; government and institutional manipulation of money. Traditionally, everyone has been forced to drink from the same pond; world governments decided what the economic environment would be in any given country - Because of this, some generations or specific groups of people have been set up for failure.

If you're born in a country whose monetary policy or economic environment is working against you; cryptocurrencies provide an idealistic escape hatch; an alternative way of valuing your labour and your potential.

The traditional fiat financial system has been corrupted by an army of traders, venture capitalists, investment bankers, bureaucrats, lobbyists and corrupt politicians; their actions have damaged the public perception of fiat currencies and have been devaluing them.

Fiat currencies are no longer seen as the product of meritocracy; but as the product of luck or corruption.

Regular people are not the ones driving up the price of cryptocurrencies; they're driven up by rich people who are (perhaps inadvertently) voting against the same system which made them rich in the first place. Maybe this is what Karl Marx had in mind when he suggested that capitalism could destroy itself.

Bitcoin is not a bubble; a true bubble grows until it pops; then it stops growing. Bitcoin has popped many times in the past and has always recovered.
Is this a work of fiction? I was skimming along and this popped out : "Street protests erupted in South Africa, and both the European Union and the World Health Organization announced their support for the South African government’s position. Al Gore, then US vice president, who had represented the interests of pharmaceutical companies in negotiations with South Africa, was confronted by AIDS activists chanting, ‘Gore’s greed kills!’ In September 1999, the US government—previously the drug companies’ strongest ally—said that it would not impose sanctions on poor countries that are affected by the HIV epidemic, even if US patent laws were broken, so long as the countries abided by international treaties governing intellectual property."

Really? President Gore? Alternate history perhaps?

EDIT: (Yes I know Al Gore was VP but missed the word "vice" when skimming the content, thanks for the corrections)

> Obviously the ill effects of narcotics (such as addiction) are the driving force behind these prohibitions, but in my opinion a fair bit of the current "scheduled hierarchy" of narcotics is not really based on medical science.

Sounds to me like we're in agreement. I'm not sure why you started your comment with "Mmm, no." The laws aren't perfectly consistent on which side of the line they place different substances on (for a variety of historical reasons), but the underlying reason as to why drugs are illegal in the first place is (quite obviously) because of their addictive nature.
I wonder what the pricing is going to look like when it's stable. I generally don't like depending on tools when I don't know the future (like if they'll use a subscription model).
I guess Apple makes you pay money directly to them when you buy devices so they don't have to do things behind your back like ad financed companies have to do. It's probably easier to opt out of apple.
Keep in mind this is absolutely a political text, and should be criticized as such.

We should be skeptical of the claims in this document, just as we are skeptical of Marx's work.
The miner's mining Rig's are plugged into the state controlled power grid. If China wants to control the means of production, they simply follow the power hogs, remember we're talking about operations that are industrial scale. The small players have 500+ mining rigs alone. The means of production will be seized. Existing coins are a toss-up. Although since the penalty could be a death sentence, I'm sure the business's that have these will comply with what ever orders follow.

Of course it is.

Glassdoor, Indeed, Angelist... all those have these salary calculators to attract inventory (your eyeballs, my eyeballs) that they then turn around and sell as product on their job listing boards.
But they still can't change the blockchain. And there would still be miners outside of China.
The point of smaller images to me isn't about disk savings as much as minimizing dependencies and surface area of attacks such as for glibc, bash, and OpenSSL in the past several years. Updating container images quickly is absolutely essential given the myriad of possible problems if they were to become stale.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have smaller image layers when updating these containers more frequently to save on bandwidth at least.
Wouldn't a loan be the better option, though? That way no one gets their ownership dilluted.
