> but as a single rational person, I'd rather store my savings in something that is not (by design) decreasing in value.

That's one of the reasons currency decreases in value, it's a deliberate effort to get people to use just about anything else as a store of value.

> Won't people rationally flock to such currencies

Supply constraints combined with utility to drive demand (whether a supply constrained “currency” has the latter is another question) makes for a good store of value—investment—but that's orthogonal to utility as a currency.

The screen looks great, but I can't find the signup page.
That doesn't fit my personal threat model (dragnet surveillance), so I'd be happy to accept slightly lower security and use a web app. imo they should offer the option of both, but notify users on web that the Electron app is preferred because it's more secure.
I think you forgot that I started with having the 5000 dollars on my bank account. So I need to convert them first to BTC before I can do the transaction. What are coinbase fees, and how much does this process add to the time of exposure to BTC price?

Also, if you can afford to wait days, you do not compare to paypal, but to a normal international bank transfer. Haven't done that for a while, but I assume that cost is around 10-20 dollars.

Here's the problem. Ron Paul made an attribution error. This error is being used to discredit anyone who is critical of SpaceX's role. This same error was not repeated by all the news outlets listed. One person's mistake does not discredit every other argument about government spending on SpaceX. The primary argument from places like Breitbart is that SpaceX has been a benefit to reducing costs but not yet proved sufficient reliability to be the only affordable option for an area critical to national defense.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Austin, TX, or on site w/ per diem

I've been building websites for 20+ years and web apps for 10+ years.

Things I do

I help early stage startups build their tech teams. I work with you to identify the skills you need, develop a hiring plan, and team structure.

I do full stack development, primarily in JS but also Ruby and Python. I can bring in other freelancers for bigger projects.

See http://driverdan.com for more details. Email is in my profile and on my site.
I'm not sure that it makes sense to me that this explains the feeling a presence when no one's there since in this case there was someone behind them, its just happened to be a robot. Instead it seems to me that it just shows that the brain doesn't always realize that its actions caused an event if there is enough of a delay. This could be the explanation for feeling a presence if the person's own actions are causing the sensations that the brain is misinterpreting. However, the article doesn't seem to me to present evidence that that is necessarily the case.

Still an interesting finding though!
Because that’s way easier than taking responsibility for your own mistakes? Based on my observations of human nature, that would be my bet.

I found the argument reasonable. My summary of this article would more read: it would be hugely super expensive to explore this plan, there are many unknown assumptions, at this point the technology is not sufficient due to the depth of the magma and quantity of water required, and VEI8 explosions actually don't typically lead to mass extinction anyways. I personally give more weight to opinions from those with stronger backgrounds in geology.

Things I would add: Yellowstone is in an extremely rural area, so transmission costs and infrastructure would have to be considered in any geothermal project.

Yellowstone the park attracts four million people a year now, making up a significant portion of Wyoming's GDP, and geysers are a big reason for this; mucking with this ecosystem should be done cautiously.

Aside from aesthetics, there are some potentially very valuable insights on life and science that are perhaps possible within a protected geyser ecosystem. To give an example, this thermophilic bacteria's enzyme plays a very important role in PCR DNA amplification, and it was discovered in Yellowstone's Lower Geyser Basin -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermus_aquaticus

The other thing I see is that there are many other volcanic systems out there. So as far as the risk of a supervolcano explosion is concerned, I'm not sure how much reducing one potential VEI8 explosive zone matters from a humanity risk perspective. Taupo actually has had 3 VEI8s in 1 million years compared to just 1 in Yellowstone. The worst VEI8 explosion in the last million years (as far as ejecta) was not Yellowstone, but Lake Toba. Other than Taupo and Yellowstone, most of the other VEI8 explosions seem to be at pretty random locations, so it seems like mitigating all supervolcano risk from drilling projects would be difficult.

One can argue that doing something is better than nothing, but the cost / benefit ratio might be quite a lot better with things explained in the article like seed banks (which would protect from multiple disaster types occurring in any location, not just one volcanic one).

Electron lowers the knowledge barrier for people who are already knowledgeable in web development. For others, learning Electron can be far more complicated than learning, say, Vala or PyQt or Tk or even one of the plethora of Java toolkits, just as examples.
Rover.com | Sr. Software Engineer | Seattle | Full-time, Onsite

We believe that everyone should be able to experience the unconditional love of a dog. That’s why Rover’s innovative platform makes it easy for pet owners to connect with 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers across the U.S.

We've raised $150mm+ ($200mm+ if you include DogVacay, which we merged with this year) and the business is growing quickly. We want to grow our engineering team by 30 or 40 engineers over the next year or two to support our ambitions of becoming the one-stop-shop for everything dog related.

Our backend is predominantly Django and we're looking for engineers across the board, but our primary focus is people with significant Python experience in a web context. (Flask/Pyramid/whatever experience is great!)

A standardized white-boarding interview is probably not completely orthogonal. But too many white board interviews don't have a standardized set of questions, with a standardized set of criteria over which to measure them.

And the ad-hoc tests have very little validity, and rely more on what questions the interview asks, and how confident and charming the interviewee is. Not to mention lots of credentialism. "Candidate Joe didn't answer the question but he's a Googler so that I probably just because I did a bad job explaining that." "Jessica didn't answer the question because she didn't know anything about software".
A Kotlin long-term update: calm, peaceful, and productive
I'll agree with you that there is one major momentum of anti-left backlash. It ranges from disaffected liberals like Dave Rubin to ethno nationalists like Richard Spencer. I also agree that the alt-right is sort of the anchor, and in a way sets the tone of the whole thing.

The thing I disagree with is being too fuzzy about where you draw lines when it comes to particular stances. In a way it's their own damn fault for flirting with the alt-right earlier on, but the alt-light are not ethno-nationalists. I think that is important because people dismiss them for the wrong reasons. (Not to mention people like Ben Shapiro who were wise enough never to flirt with them, but who get pulled into the alt-right label anyway. All the while ironically getting harassed by the alt-right online.)
I spend most of my time online in what the HN crowd would describe as "right-wing circles", and I have to agree with this. I'm seeing a rising sentiment that Elon Musk is someone who is skilled at over-promising and under-delivering, while repeatedly using subsidy and direct government funding to fatten his own pockets.

I have no idea what this notion is based upon; it's not really something that has interested me.

Sure, and I almost certainly would. But isn't that side-stepping the issue?

I could invest with a deflationary currency. I might not have 100% of it invested at every moment. When I do, the company could hold onto that for a while until they're able to make use of it. It benefits both of us (individually) for that money to not be decreasing in value, even if it works against us (as a society) in that we have decreased incentive to spend.

The key question is that if normal rational people would choose a deflationary currency if given a choice, and that choice is becoming more and more realistic, at what point does the current strategy of "assume everyone uses the nation's main currency and do what's best for the whole economy" not work any more?

I would pay $100/year for a photo organizer SaaS, that has a read-only access on a folder in my Dropbox, and let me organize my photos by time, by people on the photo, by places, or by events that I would have created. It would let me make some requests like "Show me all photos with John on it, taken on Europe, between 2008 and 2012".

Google Photos is shitty and Google already got too much information about me.

If Uber had solved the economic calculation problem their algorithm wouldn't need to change prices in response to increasing demand -- that's the very argument of ECP, that without information conveyed through prices it is impossible to efficiently allocate resources.

Let's say you have two uber customers at 1am on a Saturday night and one available car, A needs to get to work or they lose their minimum wage job and B is a young professional out drinking with friends who just got a text for a booty call. Which do you suppose is going to get the ride according to uber's "solution" to the economic calculation problem?

Though I would like the see the actual argument other that "some dude on twitter said".

Makes for very blend boring companies. Probably also explains some part of the "lack of diversity": This person is so different than anybody else we've ever hired, let's just say "They won't fit in". This is an easy loop to get stuck in, and can really hurt people from minorities or with different background.
