Given that the fed is about to start unwinding QE and selling off its massive store of bonds, it may be prudent to wait a year or two before shifting your assets into bonds.
Yeah I had a similar problem in Canada. Got to the airport, tried to buy a bus ticket to get downtown from the automated kiosk. It asked for the pin on my credit card, which it doesn't have of course.

I was stuck. I eventually found a shop inside that would sell me a bus ticket if I bought something else.
That car probably doesn't meet US safety standards (most of the Chinese cars don't).

China has cars for 4.000 USD that don't make the American market, many built in the same factory (we have lots of those here in Uruguay).

You are looking for coders:

No I'm not - I'm very much looking for engineers in the mindset you describe. I just don't think your Lego robot question is a good tool for sniffing out that mindset. (For the simple reason that "muddled interview question" != "fuzzy real-world problem" - in fact there's a world of difference between the two).

But then again, we have a disconnect. Which is of course totally fine.
Even worse: so-called "unlimited" leave policies. It's basically "no obligation for leave at all". Hence why it's very popular with the startup crowd these days.

The Essential phone does nothing fundamentally new. The Librem 5, on the other hand, will if it gets crowdfunded: it'll be the first phone to not lock its users into the shitty app store paradigm where you rely on the manufacturer for a max of 2-3 years of support/security-updates while renting siloed closed-source programs that sell your usage data and show you ads. The Librem 5 will run regular Linux that keeps working until the hardware falls apart (and then some), that can be updated by anyone, not just the manufacturer, will have its kernel kept up-to-date via efforts of the entire community of Linux kernel developers, and will run applications that aren't rented and that respect their users.

The Librem 5 will have open-source drivers and a non-Android operating system running a mainline Linux kernel (atop which Android compatibility is trivial if folks want to run that).

Personally, I find rent-seeking landlords to be an unethical pursuit. I know that's not a mainstream thought, and is the underpinning of many people's income strategy ... but I can't support the idea of letting a family live in a property for decades, and then something happening, and they're on the street with nothing to show for the tens of thousands of dollars they have given in rent.

The Web is an incredibly productive environment. HTML/CSS, javascript, AJAX are the core tech that make the web so productive. are there any platforms can that can be developed in less time than the web? Loose typing is not bad for productivity -> it's good for productivity.

The problem with the web is when people try to add libraries and frameworks that don't make sense for what your building - and alot of these frameworkss are just really bad for productivity, like Angular 1, etc.

I have the Steam Link and love it for streaming games, I just wish it had some official apps like Netflix or Plex - from what I can tell that's the main advantage of the Shield, and I'm not sure it's worth $150 difference compared to what the Link was on sale, with controller included.
I agree, you can't specify a specific ratio to the second decimal where things will blow up. Greece blew up below where Japan is now. Not the least because it is largely irrational. How much is too much debt? It's when your creditors decide to cancel your credit card. I am not convinced that how that debt is financed will change much. It's really a loss of confidence risk, which like a market downturn is impossible to predict. But you nevertheless just know it will happen and that any incremental indebtedness brings us closer.
You want to compare it against holding through market fluctuations. Sure holding would have been better this year. Should bitcoin crash next year, it will be interesting to see if he is still in profit or not when the person holding is down. I assume this is why he is currently not up against holding, because he has spread his risk to accommodate any crashes.
I think there is some middle ground. It costs very little to host a blog or a static website. If you want to add video to such a site, things change completely, and the main option for most people is youtube. So if you add the ability to self host video with some reasonable pricing (i.e., something without nasty surprises if your video goes viral), it could work.
Eastdakota is Cloudflare's CEO, btw.

Admittedly the stance for/against Tor discrimination is a wide one.... That's an issue with users, not content.

But the only case where I believed he nuked a site was against Daily Stormer. They call for violence and eradication of all non-whites, specializing on Jewish and African hatred.

He wont even kick off booters, which even he admits are fraud artists even when they do pay. That's because their frontend and backends are different. Technically this service is legal, and only illegal if used as a weapon (intent). Therefore, Eastdakota wont act. [Hopefully I best paraphrased his views...]

So yeah, I would consider your site to be safe, unless you call for extermination of $race and actions to back that up.
You can substitute "financially independent" if it makes you feel better. Many people continue doing things that generate income even though they don't need the money. It's worth noting the difference between someone working because it's what they enjoy doing vs. someone who is compelled to work by financial necessity.

His community takes the cue and runs with, too. Any hint of, "wait... this post is useful for saving only if I already have a ton of money and/or already don't have a job and therefore have little to no time pressure in my life.

Some of the cutting-spending stuff here is good, but this particular thing is incredibly unhelpful." is dealt with harshly, no matter how justified.
Doesn't that assume every person on the planet will own some BTC before it crashes? It also assumes the rate new people start buying BTC is constant, or even predictable.

> You can buy goods and services with Bitcoin. It's just another currency.

Not really though. You can buy a few novelties online and there are a handful of places that accept bitcoin, but realistically it is not "just another currency", it's an IOU for usable money.
Yes, owning your own business can be a good way to end up 'middle class' or 'comfortably poor'. But it works and that's good enough for me, and I never paid myself $500K per year either. And still had my first property paid off 20 years ahead of schedule.

Things that helped:

- ability to save

- driving cheap cars (my current daily driver is 20 years old)

- very little debt (usually only to finance the next property)

- buying quality stuff and what I need

- living in a country where healthcare can't bankrupt you

- with free education (though that is changing now)

- making reasonably good money because of my chosen profession

None of the above would matter much if I would work as a store clerk or something like that, that's a much harder situation to get out of.

I'm not entirely convinced that async annotations can't be completely elided. I think that any call stack that touches a sync/async API could have the decision of which to use bubbled up to a top level function via generics.
It's fair indeed. For now. What I'd like to know is how we can get the situation to evolve.
I like following rumors about possible "Surface Phones", because now that Windows 10 on mobile is a lot more stable than it was at launch it seems a shame there isn't a crazy new hardware device to get excited about. I particularly love the latest rumor (which fascinates me so much) that Alex Kipman of HoloLens/Kinect team could surprise everyone with a true AR handheld "HoloPhone" relative to the HoloLens. That could be a lot of fun if true, and left-field enough that it could generate a lot of fresh Windows handheld computer interest.
Excited to play around with this — and congrats to the entire team on the launch! :) Great work!
Ask HN: What happens when there are no more Bitcoin released?
New to Bitcoin, but remember hearing that there is only a fixed number of Bitcoin that will be available. What happens when there are no more new bitcoin available?
Similar story probably - money from a minor exit into property which did very well, although that was accidental. We just bought places we really wanted to live and they turned out to be very good investments - certainly much better than our pension funds.

Why would this ever be a good idea. The education is already in very real danger of becoming an anachronism. There is nothing inherently better about the current system. Technology is a way of life, trying to force students (or anyone for that matter) to not use technology is holding them back for no valid reason.

Education needs to catch up with the modern era. We can't hold students back because professors are afraid or incapable of teaching in the modern era.

Who would buy this thing? The phone doesn't look to be anything special, the name makes it sound low-end, there's zero brand recognition. The magnetic wireless accessory thing is irrelevant to vast majority of consumers, especially since Bluetooth has already solved that problem and works with any device.

Depends what "it" really is, since information is still pretty scant. If this is really just an underpowered Linux box it'll fail like the Ouya, but there's more opportunity than just running cheapo indie games. 1/3rd of the Steam game library can run on Linux, so if the box is powerful enough to run games like L4D2, and/or can stream content from a real computer/run streaming applications ala the shield it could succeed. The shield can cost $200+ depending on configuration, the market is definitely there.
Doesn't automation make this less likely and not more likely?

I should be able to cast Amazon prime videos on Chromecast, browse Facebook on Ubuntu phone, install iTunes on Android to access my digital content already purchased there and read kindle books on Windows PC.

By the very definition of a pyramid scheme, it can't be one.

Who's behind the sceme? And if you say Satoshi, you should think about what stocks are.
>There are at least several clear use cases now, unlike several years ago [...]

What would you say are these use cases? From where I stand the use cases of bitcoins are pretty much the same they were a few years ago, only the volume increased. It's a lot of speculation, some black market purchases and some donations. A few shops accept bitcoin but it's still pretty niche, and most of them convert into fiat immediately anyway.

Arguably there are even fewer use cases than a few years ago because of the prohibitive cost of the transactions, you can't move money around for cheap like you used to (that might change in the near future with segwit, we'll see). It's simply not cost-effective to use bitcoin for small transactions anymore, at least if you want to be reasonably sure it'll be confirmed in a short amount of time during the busy time of the week.

There are 2 sides to the economy, supply and demand.

Yes, the policies you describe do boost demand and that does cause inflation, but the supply side is not irrelevant. Less NIMBYism will help with housing costs, and maybe some reform could help with education supply. If demand is increasing (for example due to population growth and finance), ideally supply should also be able to increase.

A significant number of YC's alumnus look like Juiceros to me. Building products nobody needs because they think there's enough stupid people to create a market. Slap together some glossy marketing materials, and now you've got a premium product ready to change the world.

Frankly, most people don't need to be constantly buying new things. They should be buying less, fixing what they've got, saving more, going outside and getting exercise.

One example is that BTC's transactions costs are getting more expensive as time goes on. They were supposed to start going down after the most recent hard fork, but I don't know if has been the case.

Another example is that the electricity cost to run the system is going up at an unsustainable pace. Eventually they'll have to switch to an new way to propagate the blockchain something other than Proof of Work mining.

Most likely though, these problems will be solved with some kind of hard fork rather than BTC dying.

Wow, that is brilliant. I never thought of using a lamp like that.
Don't make questions harder than they are.

There's no need to make it any "harder" - the point is that just wasn't well-articulated to begin with. (Noting again that "well-articulated" is very different from fuzzy / ambiguous, in the engineering sense).

And given that the people you want to hire, by definition, are generally very busy (and have many, many important things to do with their time) -- even when they aren't currently working (despite the urban legend that "they always have jobs") -- as such, it just isn't a good use of their time.
YC alumnus != YC. Huge difference there.

Agreed on the 'changing the world' bs, though there are some that genuinely seem to have that goal (Watsi, for instance).

And yes, people usually do not need all that they are buying but then again, it keeps the economy going, I'm having a hard time imagining a world where everybody behaves like MMM does, it would not scale.
Shh, half the fun of cryptocurrency threads is watching its proponents re-learn every single harsh lesson banking and financial industries have learned over the past couple hundred years! It turns out a lot of regulations and whatnot involved with Fiat™ don't just exist for arbitrary reasons.
This seems challenging for a non-native like me to understand. I sort of anticipated this would have been the idea, but it's still hard to see if that's what it actually means - it's hard to see if 'drop' is a noun or a verb. It would be easier if it had a context word like you give here, i.e. "idea, project or reference".
You're missing the point. Obviously yes your credit score gets hurt, and yes you sometimes have the hassle of recovering money, re-establishing your identity, etc.

The entire point of the article is that all these harms are not something the identity thief does to you. They are things that the identity thief does to SOME CORPORATION, and then that corporation passes part of the problem on to you. And the phrase "identity theft" is part of the way of thinking that allows the corporations to justify passing the harm on to you.
