> The problem with this statement is that many people getting into Bitcoin don't understand the underlying concept behind it

A lot of the people proclaiming "Bubble! Stay away!" are in the same category. Or I'd go as far as to say they don't really understand market dynamics, and the fact that the value of anything is only the price someone else is willing to pay for it. And then there's the people who spread anti-Bitcoin FUD because they are either a) mad they missed out or b) threatened by what Bitcoin offers (maybe they're a rent-seeking middleman who would be rendered obsolete).
I'm glad people are working on improvements to Tether. While your project doesn't solve every problem with Tether, it still has merit as an improvement compared to Tether, at least in some aspects.
Yeah SOX did nothing to moderate markets, it was just aimed at (looking like they were) purging crooks out of the system.
It will happen before 2020

Have you really put your own money on that?

We're going to need solar and wind power in the future, and batteries. Lots of batteries.

Do you really think you have some big insight here that the rest of the investment community hasn't thought about?
I get your point but a non-breaking breakpoint sounds like a contradiction. Maybe it should be called a tracepoint?

Ask HN: What skills should I focus on developing during my master's?
Hello.

I'm currently taking a master's in Development and Environment (I understand this is not the expertise of HN). I was wondering, what general set of skills I should try and learn along the way, something that could be useful for several job careers (mostly in the "Social Science" field, i.e. policy making, consulting firms etc).

Thank you!
Perhaps also consider Jogjakarta, and I heard good things about Bandung. I'm sure there are other good spots, if someone knows Indonesia better.
Yes it is possible. That doesn't make it meritless.

You might equally say "isn't it possible that Tether could just print Tethers out of thin air"? And the answer would be "yes", but people still find utility in it.
Lot's of "I am not a doctor" suggestions. I do the same thing myself. My wife (surgeon), often points out that my diagnoses are missing basic things. Even though I studied with her and read all the flash cards.

Just because a doctor hasn't solved your problem yet, doesn't mean you should give up. You don't want to take advice, and self diagnose with web advice.

Now pretend I didn't say all that, and check out BPPV. If it is BPPV, then you can have someone do the Epley maneuver on you and you'll be fine. Dizziness is incredibly stressful, and the rest of your symptoms can be associated with stress. The fact that it comes in waves makes me think that it could be the crystals in your ears moving around.

But seriously. Don't take medical advice from someone who isn't a doctor.
In practice you need merchants to accept the coins for them to be very useful. So far no coin has come ahead although there has been some uptake for Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash.

You can also use services which convert your coin of choice to Bitcoin, for example using shapeshift or for Monero xmr.to which is excellent. You can't avoid the fees on Bitcoin if you do that though...

There are many coins which have cheap and fast confirmations, for example Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash.

Yes, housing prices are constrained in some urban areas and there increased income would tend to go towards increases in rent. But there's more competition from low cost areas if people have an income that's not tied to a job.

Take a look at social security to see how this plays out. Why do you think so many retirees move to Florida?

As a counterpoint, consider that random recommendations from the internet can easily get outdated.

So apparently, transparent hugepages have some issues in their current implementation that can cause big performance losses in some cases. Seems to me like that's a bug, and I see no reason why that bug couldn't be fixed in the future.

By following random recommendations, you get into situations where the underlying problem has been fixed for ages, but people still cargo-cult some workaround that actually makes things worse with the new implementation.

Nope. This trend has started with "dates are MM/DD/YY, and anything unfit for ASCII is not a real character." Of course, at the time, this was an acceptable compromise wrt computing power.
I completely agree that it's the role of many parties to attempt to forecast the market, but I'm skeptical of how many (even those whose job it is to do so day-to-day) really believe that it can be done reliably.

CNBC is probably a good example of this. When you don't predict anything specific, you can never be wrong.

(Clairvoyance was not meant seriously, I should have made that clear!)
You're trying to add a massive amount of complexity and new technologies. That makes it much more likely this process fails, and is the opposite of what a proof-of-concept will give you.

A build system like bazel or pants is not really related to deployment. You're overthinking this.

As alternative, try to do a small proof-of-concept: take one feature from your monolith and move it out. Can use PHP, doesn't have to be new language. Don't pick tools in advance, instead just go and do it and pick tools based on the problems you encounter. This will give you a much better and realistic sense of what problems are relevant in your particular setup. And will also make it much more likely your project will succeed and get management buy-in.
Historically the 2 term presidential cycle where an incumbent is elected has led to a recession within 6-18 months 100% of the time. I guess this time could be different & a recession doesn't imply a crash but that's an interesting data point.
S3 is $0.023/GB (still x4 higher), plus $0.004 per 10K requests

GCP is $0.08-0.12/GB (same for all services), plus $5 per 1M requests)

So basically Unum is trading "risk of value going down/up" for "risk of smart contract bank run"?

While I regret not grabbing a couple extra coins back in 2013 when I was playing with BTC I know for a fact I'd have cashed out in the hundreds. If not then definitely would have when it was worth $1000/1BTC
GP's not talking about investing in infrastructure or training. GP's talking about selling the product for less than it costs to produce in order to have a monopoly in the region. This not only discourages the competition, it discourages the existence of competition.

Back in "the day," VCs (at least some) would tell you directly that they wouldn't invest in anything that competes with Microsoft. The legality of it all was irrelevant to the conversation- they weren't going to enter the fight.

Knuth is a unique character. I read the more personal of his books last year, "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About". It's essentially a transcript of several open lectures he gave at Stanford on topics ranging from his hobbies and side-projects to his thoughts on the Bible and his Christian faith. I've been a staunch atheist for the majority of my life, but seeing Knuth talk so comfortably about his spirituality actually helped me appreciate religion more.

Is it wrong of me to think of the net neutrality battle in the same way? The more and more I think about the battles the EFFs fights, the more I respect them and think stallman's brand of insanity (if it's possible to call it that politely) is more and more necessary.

Just like the DRM battle was lost, I get the feeling the net neutrality battle is a losing battle. Even if it's not this year, eventually, the deep pockets will win -- From what I've seen basic computer literacy (I don't mean using a smart phone) isn't even being taught consistently -- trying to get the majority of the general populace (which isn't even enough to win politically, but I'll ignore that) to understand why repairability and open source matter, nevermind net neutrality seems like an exercise in futility.

While that happens, the tech companies benefitting the most from open source software and the openness that the web introduced are doing their best to split it up amongst themselves.

I've given up on this iteration of the internet, instead of ranting what I should probably do is go try and contribute to whatever is next, whether that's mesh networks or ipfs.
That's literally the only thing that matches up.
Governments can do an awful lot of things to collect taxes. For example a comment [1] to a similar story [2] suggests a benign one, that they "ask you to surrender the public keys that you are getting paid through". How to know there are no undisclosed keys? Much like they get people with untaxed money now: they spend more than they should.

Is there anything wrong with this argument?

If Facebook had quit providing any sort of value to the people, had quit providing incentive to store their valuable assets like photos, videos, opinions etc. on their system, then yes, I think if someone copied Facebook %100 and started operating it properly, they'd be a good social network.

Facebook is not just a code or just a network.
ICQ had a network. MSN Messenger had a network. Heck Google actually has a network.

But without providing value, a network is not worth a thing.

TIL about cheap HDMI splitters stripping HDCP. I had no idea this was a thing, that's very interesting. I'm also very surprised that Google even autocompletes "hdmi splitter remove hdcp" (!) and then shows me eBay product listings with "Hdcp Stripper" in the product title. Wow.

I think parent and you just disagree on the amount of reliability these attempts actually have. Of course everyone tries to time the market, but the amount of evidence for anyone being able to do it reliably over and over is not that great. Professionals can guarantee a certain level of educated guessing, but a lot of the most skilled moneymakers on the planet still lost their shirt in 2008.

There's another attack where they just break into the house and steal the keys and drive away. It's easy since most people have their keychains close to the outside entry.
Yeah I don't see how Bitcoin could possibly continue growing in valuation without being able to grow in tx/s as well.
I don't think so, since you can just create a bitcoin-based security and voila - the supply is now unlimited.
I think it's going to happen. When, I have no idea. I invest in crypto because it's one of those rare things that I know more about than the average investor, unlike the stock market, which I know nothing about and will never know enough about to invest in confidently.

That's $100,000 for anybody who's not insane. Seriously, why use the "decimal point" as a digit separator? You might as well start using Roman numbers too!
Put another way: If you're always outsourcing work like upgrading Rails versions so that your devs can focus on "features" they will never learn which design decisions they are making are extremely costly in the long run. Like, hmm, maybe I shouldn't include 4 gems just to build and test my JavaScript. Or, hmm, maybe I shouldn't write this code in a way that leaks ORM details. Testing culture is great. But it is not an antidote for kicking-the-can-down-the-road culture.
There was a justification: Bitcoin had been crashing, and therefore it was time to buy.
I wouldn't talk to anyone: they'd die of several diseases from my breath pretty quickly if I understand the epidemiology of it. I wouldn't want to kill people, or get labelled a plague carrier!

Compared to holding ETH, yes, that's the tradeoff.

Compared to holding USDT, the tradeoff is that Tether can't print themselves free USDT's, but you have a risk of a smart contract bank run.

The claim that bitcoin is useless is not valid. In fact, the anonymity of bitcoin might be of huge value to the "dark side": drug dealers, tax evaders, porn viewers, ... You name it.

These hidden markets, though usually under radar of the public, could contribute significantly the bitcoin's market cap.

How can a guy from Western Europe start a life in Russia/Ukraine?
I want to find a job in Russia or Ukraine. I have been fascinated about this part of the world since I was 10. It's my dream to live and work there for at least a couple of years of my life.

I'm willing to go to great lengths to reach my goal. This is why I started learning Russian (currently at A2/B1) and have devoted much of my traveling time (about 9 months in total) in Russia/Ukraine. To succeed I think I need a job first. That's why I quit my job (12 years in financial/banking sector) and applied to 30+ relevant vacancies. This has resulted in only one second round interview.

Considering the investment/return ratio it seems nearly impossible to find a job in Russia/Ukraine.

What else can I do?
You mean free APIs. Of course there are good API's in finance if you are willing to pay.
How about changing numbers like on flip calendar/clock?

Printers are the best example of the worst case scenario of DRM.

Not too long ago I obtained a office printer from Brother. Came with Cartridges. After only 4 papers these Cartridges where empty, or rather, it claimed to be empty. In reality they were still sloshing full of ink. Tried chinese cartridges for 2$ but had to settle for the 20$ ones from Brother.

The windows driver comes with all kinds of malware (even a toolbar was included!) so I settled for PostScript, which the printer thankfully supported.

I have since resold this piece of garbage on ebay, went back to my trusty old HP Laserprinter with cheap chinese cartridges.

And now in your second paragraph, which I suppose is supposed to be a keypoint of your argument you lead with "Pai has spent most of his career with Verizon." Pai has been working since 1997 - 20 years. He spent exactly 2 years of those 20 years with Verizon -- shortly after university, 16 years ago. Nearly his entire life has been sent in the public sector. And you now lead a new post stating "he spent most of his career with Verizon."

Please try to step outside your bias and look at what you're writing. What you read on the internet is, quite often, not true. Think about whatever source you read that claimed Pai spent "most of his career" with Verizon. You can find his biographical information on the FCC page or his LinkedIn profile [1][2]. You're reading and citing extensively from fake news. Imagine you were me, reading your comments. What would you think - of you? How much weight would you give to anything you say? Would you have any interest in continuing the discussion?
