Stakers take act like miners, but instead of staking computation time through proof-of-work, they stake an amount of cryptocurrency which gets burned if they ever double-vote (and maybe if they vote for the losing chain, etc, depending on the scheme).

It's not very obvious how exactly a proof-of-stake scheme should work though. Many past attempts have been pretty flawed. I'm excited to watch Ethereum's progress in this area.
I don't think it's "young people" in general that want 'safe spaces', just the very vocal prog-left fringe.

At that time...

Buuuut we now live in the age of the internet, and knowledge is a pure commodity. There are authoritarians looking to muddy the waters and make knowledge more difficult to acquire, but for those interested in learning (like the kids I've worked with), there are plenty of free options I couldn't dream of at the public library I went to as a kid.

We still have an issue of poor education, don't get me wrong, though it is not a result of elitism (quite the contrary).

Too big to fail buddy. The banks are never on the hook.
The original studies suggests early mining rewards were distributed mostly to a small group of users. It also shows attempts by large stakeholders to hide their large holdings by distributing funds across several wallet accounts.

If someone were to have monitored IP addresses in the swarm it may be possible to correlate attempts from single users hiding their funds across many wallets. Simply looking at the blockchain balances of single addresses will not necessarily indicate a single person controlling many addresses.

Thank you for facing your fears.

Let's be real, attractiveness doesn't hurt YouTube view counts. However, does the fact that not all of those views were motivated by the content being discussed call into question the validity of the content itself? In other words, if someone clicked on a SexyCyborg video because they found her attractive, but ended up enjoying the technical content, was the content effective?

What I'd be cautious of is promoting the idea that dressing a certain way was the only way to get ahead, but as long as people can get ahead based on their own effort, it doesn't seem like much of a problem. Clearly you think differently, and I would be interested in better understanding your point of view.

If everyone has similar biases then having more reviewers isn’t going to address the issue. It would just normalize the bias toward the mean of the reviewers. I’ve seen that first hand at offices that do this type of review system and the “cool kids” still end up on top.

At least individual biases being the driver allows a person to find a manager that champions their style of person.

This would be a problem even with direct distribution. Just replace distributor with retailer.

Here in Kentucky, AB Inbev owned a distributor and was quietly playing these games. After some shenanigans, KY adjusted the three tier rules to prevent breweries owning distributors, even if they’re from out of state.

FWIW the three tier system is dumb and should go away. But removing it doesn’t automatically level the playing field.

what I don't understand about these people is that they must recognise that comcast essentially functions the same way the dreaded government does. They are just as large, they are just as organised and powerful. But in contrast to the government there is not even a democratic check and balance, and an explicit profit motive.

The most common problem arises when your Ansible module's argument/option expects an integer for example, but because jinja (using filter such as arg="{{ my_var | do_something }}" returns a string, so the spec of your module will reject the input!

This is a hit or a miss in implementation. Dict, list, boolean, float, int, str are all acceptable primitives that must be handled properly.
To be completely honest as someone who loves craft beer, homebrews, and hopes to open up a brewery of my own one day, ABInbev is a brewery operations wonder of the world. Yes, they use a ton of rice as one of their fermentables which cuts down on calories, alcohol, body, etc., but that's sort of what the american light lager has evolved into anyway. The real amazing thing about ABInbev is how they have production breweries across the world making the same beers and no matter where you are they taste exactly the same. They sell in the hundreds of millions of barrels annually while the best small breweries that have recently expanded rapidly and are battling with quality control (Trillium and Tree House are the 2 that come to mind) still only sell tens of thousands of barrels annually.

Beer aside, ABInbev is the definition of an evil company. The beer industry is known for being a community more than a competitive industry. Craft breweries collaborate with their "competitors" all the time. Even in close quarters such as Brooklyn/Queens, Other Half, Interboro, Transmitter, LIC Beer Project, Threes, Grimm, and Evil Twin are collaborating on beers with each other every other month or so. It's one of the reasons why I love the industry so much. ABInbev does pretty much the opposite. Sure, Goose Island still collaborates with breweries as a subsidy of ABInbev, but as a company ABInbev offers incentives to bars/bottle shops/wholesalers/distributors that require them to only carry ABInbev owned products or a certain percent of their products.

For example [1]:

> Under the new incentive plan, AB InBev refunds 75 percent of this money if its beers make up 98 percent of the distributor’s sales, according to documents provided to lawmakers by AB InBev.

Even with these incentives, craft beer is slowly taking market share away from ABInbev and they're are starting to feel it (although they still have something like a 40% market share so it's not that huge of a blow). I can't speak for other beer conglomerates (SABMillerCoors, Heineken, etc.) and if they try and give similar incentives, but I know for a fact that ABInbev is trying to kill any competition in an industry where everyone is rooting for their "competitors" to succeed.

I think AGPL is the way to be honest due to companies left-and-right using free software on the server-side/cloud, but never contributing anything back nor allowing their users to make changes. But the current state is a complete defeat of free software ideals using the very same free software that was supposed to prevent it from happening. Kinda neat hack if you are on the "dark side".
It's possible that confusion and conflict coming from there being two chains (imagine if a user sends bitcoin to a retailer who then claims they never received a payment because they were actually expecting coins on the b2x fork) could depress the price. Now we know that won't happen.

Countries do try to compensate for this by introducing specific small business tax rates and special benefits for being locally owned or controlled.

For Canadian-controlled private corporations claiming the small business deduction, the net tax rate is 10.5%."

Ok.

I think it is generally improper, or not preferable, to use coercive or manipulative force to alter the autonomous decision making process of a population you yourself (or your cadre) have lite or no direct stake in, accountability to, or reliance on. When the US interferes in foreign politics in a duplicitous way, we betray most of the principles of democracy. When any government or corporation or religion does this, they stomp on the idea that people should be able to make decisions for themselves. And when you live in a world dominated by the influence of immaterial third-parties, you become deeply frustrated, and this is one of the reasons things are so volatile right now.

I dunno, all you did was link to a logical fallacy article on wikipedia, so like maybe you didnt ask for me to write a missive on this notion of mine, but if I am being honest, I am honestly so frustrated by the prevalence of people thinking that pointing out a logical fallacy (aka rhetorical technique) functions as anything other than tepid dismissal.
That's true. Waiting to load a program from a Tandy cassette tape was a challenge. Floppy disks were a big jump forward.

Before that, the Big Jump for me was a move from a Hayes 300 baud modem to an AppleCat 1200. I clearly recall thinking "Woah! It's feeding data faster than I can read it!"

Next up was the BeOS. From cold boot to completely loaded desktop and hard drive light off in something like 15 seconds. (Meanwhile, Windows 95 took something like 2 minutes to boot up.)

The final quantum jump was about 6 years ago when I moved from a spinning to a solid state (SSD) hard drive. Again, big BIG boost.
Why would you ever want to evaluate employees by any metric not directly tied to their contribution to company success?

This is a strawman argument. I'm trying to think of a charitable interpretation, but it's difficult.

The world's currency isn't ever going to be 100% bitcoin. It's an invalid basis to start from.

I kind of see what you're trying to hint at, but it would be helpful for discussion if you could think of a more persuasive example.

(It may be difficult though, because it seems true to say that if Bitcoin starts becoming a significant fraction of the world's GDP then it's fine if it uses a little power. Where "little" is relative to the ratio of BTC's wealth vs the world's wealth, vs BTC's power usage to the world's power usage.)

But you can rate them by metrics such as are they completing all their assigned work in a reasonable amount of time

No you can't, unless you have a method for dividing a project up into blocks of exactly equal difficulty. The person who takes more time to do genuinely difficult things is probably closing fewer JIRAs than the one quickly cranking through easy ones, which would score more highly on that metric, but which is the more valuable to your organisation?

Here is a crazy idea - have a zero percent tax on corporations and make people pay taxes on income and investments?

If I own shares in a small, public company, they pay corporate income tax, then they pay dividends on which I have to pay income tax. Its fucking lame. Eventually people will want to take money out of the company, tax it then.
Yes, I noticed that. Honest advertising is also something beyond "diversity of opinion", but it's one that we accept. Dishonest advertising is another step beyond that, one that we don't accept, and that we try to keep out of society.

Nowhere in the official press release [0] did it say it's solid state.
