Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way. Really.

I have spent an entire career in Silicon Valley, and I have held a lot of different positions and worked with many executive teams. It reminds me of when I worked at NeXT, and told someone that we were using the Leffler library in NeXTStep. He insisted that we weren't, since a company like NeXT and someone like Steve Jobs would never allow such a thing - Steve wouldn't allow a public library inside our product. He just couldn't believe it was true - and I had no proof to offer.

I guess old-timers like me just need to be quiet and let you learn about these things over your 40 years in the business - I hope those lessons don't come too late for you.
I understand your point, but I'm not sure I agree that being deflationary or being primarily used as an investment precludes it from being used as a medium of exchange.

I do think there are some aspects of bitcoin that limit its use as a medium of exchange (transaction times, current lack of stability), but I don't think its the deflationary part.
I think you're risking an ad hominem argument.

I'm sure that has enough truth in it. But you can characterize bankers in a similarly negative way --
particularly in light of recent economic engineering. But we all buy in to the concept of money (excuse the pun).
This was what I was left wondering as well. rsync for sure does not have any FS-specific code that I can find. If it uses the FS APIs provided by the OS, just like every other program that touches files, why would we expect anything other than boring old rsync doing it's thing?
This is possible. We are doing it at https://www.mailtag.io.
Shameless plug though.

A single plane flight uses more energy than all the bottles of water I'm likely to consume in a lifetime (many times more).

So.. it seems odd to me to single out bottled water and say those people are the sign of "mental decline" and "lazy and apathetic" (as other commenters have suggested).

And what's surprising is that it feels like people are saying:

"those are they bad guys... the guys buying bottled water... buying multiple other items with equal or more packaging on a daily basis and buying smartphones, and PCs, and taking international flights, that's fine that's "justifiable"".

In my mind, if bottled water is "lazy and apathetic" and a sign of "mental decline". It's not clear that all those other things aren't too.

While he may be correct, he's trying to shove bitcoin into one a few predefined ideas about what a currency needs to be.

And most, if not all, of his complaints revolve around bitcoin's design of being untethered from judicial systems or purview. No one has figured out, even theoretically, how to have our cake and eat it too. It seems pretty clear that his wish is a fundamental contradiction and one must choose between the two.

The 'bad' actors he talked about can all be investigated in the same way a bank heist or computer hack can be, and if successful, the perpetraters punished (as have some of them).

It's like saying 'people who use dollars aren't going to tell you how the Federal Reserve invents millions or billions of dollars of currency out of thin air every year.' No, they won't, but as of now we consider that a feature not a bug (not all do, but most mainstream do). Even though it means the dollar you 'buy' today will be worth slightly less tomorrow.

This is rather generous. They structure the hours of the majority of their employees so that they never get overtime hours or qualify for any benefits that might apply to a "full time" employee (which varies by state).

It would be a 3.7-hour stop at a Supercharger to get to 80%, assuming an average 100kW charge rate. After that the charge rate would slow down. Most people would probably unplug at that point, gaining only 1,100 miles range.
Yeah, same issue. Pretty jarring for me, because I like the white theme.

Make an HFS dmg in disk utility and move the app over and it will work fine.

Surprisingly, it works fine on "APFS (Case Sensitive)" too (I had thought maybe it was a case-folding issue).

A 51% plutocracy is still a form of state governance that qualifies as fiat money and effectively can destroy the value of your coins if you resist.

I haven’t tried the GM seed yet, but I’ve reported a pretty annoying bug with inconsistent directory listings from host into guest with vagrant. A listing in the guest will be missing entries, but you can CD into the missing folders. This causes sites not to work as the application in the guest can’t see files it requires. The only way to resolve it to date has been backup and reinstall with without apfs.
Someone set up an escrow service. I want in.

As an aside, I have pondered the viability of an escrow service aimed specifically at people who want to wager about topics like these.

I see this at verious forums, someone says Company A will be bankrupt in a year and another one says that won't happen. One of them frequently pipes up to say, "I'll bet you $100 that I'm right!"

Yet, nobody ever takes the chance to capitalize on those potential bets.

Basically, they would set their terms, agree on those terms, upload those terms in a verifiable way as the terms they agreed to, pay their money, and then wait for the time period to end.

At that point, someone at the escrow company will review the wager and the evidence and decide who gets the payout, less the fees associated with it. Not all bets are easy to judge, so writing accurate terms would be important. The service will supply, if needed, impartial judging of the merits. I suppose the company would also need to have the ability to refuse to accept certain bets, perhaps insisting that they make the goals clearly articulated and demonstrable success or failures would be important.

They might even enable it for multiple parties. Each bet would require a deposit of the entire amount due. I suppose people could even go so far as to set odds, if they wanted.

I'm pretty sure this should be a thing.
Not sure the drivers license is a fair metaphor. That makes some sense: the government is saying this particular individual appears to be capable of driving. People change (thus the need for periodic renewals) but usually don’t change so dramatically that they can no longer drive.

But how does regulatory approval work with institutions? Institutions are ever changing, and like the ship of Theseus, eventually the original company will replace all of its employees, management, and even processes.

So what triggers a need for renewed regulatory approval? If the original company switches out 50% of its workforce it can keep its license, but if the owner changes suddenly the license is invalid. How does that make sense?

> It is safer to invest in the next mediocre superhero movie that most people will be fine with than an innovative middle budget drama that might have a harder time finding an audience. That is what is hurting the movie industry.

The "innovative middle budget drama[s]" are moving to television. The rise of high-quality programming on cable TV has a lot to do with the state the film industry is currently in.

I find it fascinating that ever since television launched, film has gone out of its way to be different from TV, but the specific way it does that constantly changes. Back in the '70s, it was the opposite from where it is today!

Transferwise is pretty friendly and uses real exchange rate + reasonable fees Usually around 1% or less. With Bitcoin, I can send the same transfer for 0.03% - which puts Transferwise to shame and makes PayPal look like an absurd joke. Granted there's much more involved with current volatility of bitcoin but once that gets more stable all of the other options will be a total joke. People who cant't understand the future of bitcoin as remittence are in for a rude awakening.
A 51% attack means a lot of bad things can happen to bitcoin. Its value would probably crash if an individual got 51% of the power just because it is no longer truly decentralized, even if they don't abuse that power.

Bitcoin was made with the idea that a 51% attack would be unlikely and unfeasible; as long as that holds, I'm not sure what value your comparison has. You might as well make a comparison to any other possible disaster. ("A solar flare is a form of state governance that will destroy the value of your coins...")
Why would someone destroy all the value of their money and all the money power to mine just to troll?

Sure a government might do that, but they could point a gun to every full node owners head and tell them to stop it just like China did. It would also be much cheaper.
As I said, Ethereum is fundamentally flawed. And the implementation was...naive. It is a giant liability to all those who use it.

Great to see Godot on the front page of HN. I have used Godot, and it's a great piece of software. I have not used any other open source game engine that is so feature rich, and you can build very complex games in it. And deploy them on all the popular platforms (mobile and desktop). Okam studios (Juan's company again) uses it for all their work.

I personally know the founder/owner of Godot, Juan Linietsky. He is a great and a very down to earth guy. It was amazing to be in his company.

Here's a shout out to Juan, for your and your team's great work! Keep.it up and thank you for giving Godot to us!

> Besides maybe a very risky (as in unpredictable value on delivery) method of money transfer.

Cherry picking is fun.

Did you transfer money last week? If it had been bitcoin and had been at the wrong time, you would have received less than you asked for.

Bitcoin is a speculative security like product, not currency.

The power of the bank transfer is that you can predict what you will receive.

2h without doing anything with my hands is a nightmare.

Normally, I'm doing all kinds of things with my hands. Usually, I'm at a computer, I have my phone, I'm playing with my cane, or I'm flicking my fidget cube, etc. But I can't do any of those things at the movies. I need to snack during movies because I'd go nuts if I didn't have something to do with my hands. A bag of popcorn is a godsend... I can keep grabbing pieces of popcorn and sticking them in my mouth, which keeps my hands occupied.
> You might use USD to store value because you know that it's value isn't going to fluctuate like crazy from month to month or year to year.

Noted, and I tend to agree with you on that point.

> You'd be stupid to ever spend it while this trend continues.

For sake of argument, assuming you know this trend will continue you'd be stupid to not put all of your money into it. At which point, you'll ultimately need to spend it to get things you need (whether you're spending it on purchasing other currencies, or spending on the actual goods). Unfortunately, we don't know the trend will continue or if it'll reverse or if it'll level off.
Great, so you can understand where non-smokers are coming from. All my neighbors smoke and I can't open my windows in nice weather because then my house just smells awful and it triggers migraines for my wife. I don't think they'd appreciate it if I left a bucket of rotting fish on my porch.
Had a chat with a high ranking public tax official last week who said that the age of secret offshore bank accounts is over - mass leaks resulting from bounties mean that any rogue employee with a USB of account information can get a 7 figure payout from major goverments. So where to now for high net worth people/families? I would absolutely be piling my wealth into anonymous cryptocurrencies - zcash, monero, and well tumbled bitcoin. People will always want to hide assets, and this is the most reliable way in an age of mass hacks and leaks. I'm really keen to hear any pushback on this, because I can't think of any.
Supply Chain Attacks and Secure Software Updates
Bitcoin is basically useless for buying legal things. And especially useless for high dollar transactions without escrow agreements, since the value can fluctuate rapidly before transactions settle and can be liquidated to fiat (funny how moving it to fiat always seems to matter to people selling physical items.).

More decentralization because you don't essentially need a special purpose FPGA (or whatever is popular these days) specifically meant for mining coins, as these special purpose machines are typically more centralized in larger farms.

This is based on the assumption that bitcoin will stabilize.

I think bitcoin is a flawed first mover. The winner (and future stable cryptocurrency) likely hasn't been invented yet.

But I imagine it's mathematic properties will allows for a sustainable transaction rate (i.e.: thousands per second), short (as in sub 2-3 second) final confirmation times, and the ability to execute Ethereum like smart contracts without major security flaws and naive language implementation choices.

Report: Peter Thiel Up for Key Intelligence Role, Wants to Limit Google's Power
I have no doubt that learning to learn to read English would be a real pain. (There's a poem called "The Chaos" that makes fun of how we spell; see http://ncf.idallen.com/english.html ) Since I know it, I have no interest in learning a different system that maps graphemes onto phonemes (ex. Shavian, or the International Phonetic Alphabet).

I suspect that that is part of how it is with our standard musical notation. The people who already know it have no interest in learning another system, even if it were demonstrably "better" (for some definition of better).

It is my opinion that our current system expresses a lot of irreducible complexity, but also has a lot of incidental complexity due to quirks of history. Accidental marks, in particular, strike me as making a backwards-compatible change that is easier for the people already locked-in to the system, but has made it more difficult for learners in the centuries since.

There's a really simple change that would roughly halve (!) the effort to learn to play music written with a grand staff. Right now, it is, from the bottom up, composed of a bass staff, one ledger line, followed by a treble staff. Simply changing it for a treble staff, two ledger lines, and another treble staff, would make it so much easier for people learning to read the music.

Going one step further, if every octave looked the same -- why should half the Cs be on lines, and half on spaces? -- that would make it far easier to learn the notation.

(And don't get me started on the timing system!)

I heard of a fluent sheet reading kid who was introduced to Klavarskribo. Apparently after 45 minutes of learning, he (she?) was able play pieces he'd never played before, just because the incidental complexity was reduced.
Every time I checkout GNU Hurd I'm flabbergasted that it is still 32bit. It is something that is really hard to get past and honestly I don't have the skills to contribute to make it 64bit. But I just don't have time for something that is limited to 4GB address space[1]. Too far away from modern to be honest.

Technical innovation is not the only type of innovation happening in the crypto space. There are tokens being developed whose innovations are financial, social, political, and economic. Don't assume technical innovation is the end all be all, Ethereum's technical innovation allows for the other types of innovation to occur, for example.

To strengthen my argument, you wouldn't expect every startup on the Internet to develop their own Apache server, HTTP protocol, and all the other technical innovations that allow for their business to exist, would you?
