This is an interesting question. If would dismiss it as not remotely possible, if it wasn’t for the fact that what has happened I never considered remotely possible!

That said, I don’t think the scenario of bitcoin sucking up the worlds wealth, in an out of control feedback loop is possible.

There are a bunch of aspects of Bitcoin that will make its price growth self limiting.

Mostly, these stem from the fact that any “return” from bitcoin “investment” is simply a transfer of tokens from one entity to another. If I have $14k and you have this valuable bitcoin, when we trade, the tokens just switch owners.

If 1 bitcoin reaches $1m , and price is stable, why would I buy it? Maybe it has utility as a way to move large sums, where it is converted back to fiat. Or a way to protect my wealth from inflation (which means its price is going up).

If price is going down, it would be crazy to invest large sums of real money in bitcoin, as it has little real utility. This will be the driving force of a collapse.

I’m not putting my finger on it, but there just doesn’t seem to be any reason that a large percentage of the population is going to hand their wealth over to another arbitrary portion of society. The reason people are doing that now is because they are speculating on the fiat price of a digital token, in the hopes of “making money”. This is only possible under the kind of parabolic price growth we see now, which can’t continue I definitely.

That said, there are huge sums of money looking for places to invest, so this could continue a while. There seems to be a quirk of human social psychology that makes participation in financial bubbles universally popular.

This has nothing to do with interest in bitcoin actually being turned into currency. It’s kind of the opposite, they are hoping bitcoin will turn into more of what they really value, which is the coin of their realm.

Edit: There is also a hugely vulnerable system to try and realize any gains. Reddit is starting to fill with users complaining of losses due to flash crashes, and exchange breakdowns. Neither the exchanges nor the blockchain networks will be able to handle a “rush to the exits”.

It’s not possible for most people to realize “paper gains” in zero sum system, and I predict there are going to be crazy stories of huge wins and losses, when a crash comes, due to forces outside of anyone’s control.

The possibility of goods or services being returned or disputed at a later date creates risk even when the initial transactions are instant.
Shitty arbitrage I guess, but it wasn't my goal. I just stocked up so I won't have to go get tickets again.

I've definitely watched more than 300 movies in English Hindi and Tamil, but not at AMC alone. I use the tickets for my friends, wife, etc too.
Thanks for the recommendation- just added this to my audible cart for my next set of credits, sounds great!

I'm in agreement that the person here couldn't readily turn around and sell the exploit, but what about the data?
I would guess they also have some kind of insurance. iirc one of the larger exchanges was hacked and lost millions, but the insurance paid out and made whole the users who lost coin. it's a dynamic market.
Do you really think one of the big guys will go to jail? Somebody like Winterkorn? Maybe some little guy will be made the fall guy and it will end up like banks in 2008.
Seriously, I lose stuff occasionally but nothing as bulky and "expensive" as a HDD. I got a box where I put all computer hardware and I think I just "mentally track" items that cost more than say 50$ and that I walk around with, so I just check for them like I check for my keys or mobile when I leave the house.

Now a pen-drive maybe, but that wouldn't be the place to store my wallet anyway.
The more excepted model is that capital gains (and losses) are equivalent to dividends[0]. So yes it was a loss.

I've tried DirectLabs, WalkInLabs, and Life Extension, and have been happy with them all. All of those companies are basically just "doctor ordering resellers" for the two big test labs (LabCorp and Quest), so you generally don't have to worry about the quality of the testing.

I specifically use Life Extension for vitamin D because they're the cheapest one I'm aware of.
Can you explain muscle twitches vs Vitamin D?
Could you please not post snarky dismissals to HN? This is just the sort of thing we're trying to get away from.

Can it be cheaper if you drive faster ?

ie. 45mph = $40

ie. 80mph = $30

ie. 100mph = $6 (for contrast)

et cetera ? That would make traffic flow and people happy ?

Interesting concept, though the Wikipedia article itself seems to indicate this system has its flaws:

"In Sweden, even with the existence of the Enforcement Authority, it is still considered complicated, so most companies use debt collection companies for the process anyway, similar to in other countries."
> No? Not only can they happen, but I'd argue that it's easier for them to occur when using `reduce`, because you have to remember the initializer.

I would say that's not an off by one error. Its a similar scale and type of error, but not the same.

They've got multiple camera stations and EZ Pass scanners so they'll just mail you the bill now. Before a cop had to pull you over to catch you cheating in the HOV lane.
Good riddance. Hopefully they'll kill off the strange permission variations between extensions and apps too, that's been nothing but confusing and a plague on building anything useful.
Agreed. Moore's law doesn't happen on its own and Intel has been leading the way in fabrication technology.

As for ARM, I think their success has more to do with their business model (licensing instead of fabricating) than with their architecture.
Nodes are peers. If you don't own one, especially if you can't run one, and you don't use it to secure your transactions on the blockchain, you aren't one.

You skipped right over the peer part, even though the word is used twice, and started talking about the cash part.

VW actively deceived regulators in a coordinated manner for months after they started investigating and asking questions about the defeat devices. This is not normal behavior for a car manufacturer or any public company under investigation. They produced tons of fraudulent data, took regulators for fools, and went so far as to stage a recall they knew ahead of time wouldn't solve the problem, all while millions of cars continued spewing cancer-causing diesel fine particulates. It would be shocking if the hammer didn't come down hard in those circumstances.
That doesn't really count as a substantive comment in someone else's Show HN.
The hybrid car exemption for HOV was supposed to be temporary but it kept getting extended for years. New hybrids couldn't get the special license plates but if you got in before the cutoff you could keep the license plate and keep transferring to whatever new hybrid or electric car you bought.

I can imagine a lot of the people with the alt fuels tags are angry, but at the same time their exemption was never supposed to last this long.
Just authentically be the best/idealized version of yourself.

Put your best foot forward/fake it till you make it kind of... you don't need to showcase the side of yourself that eats a pint of Ben and Jerrys and plays slither.io on the couch for 5 hours a night. Show off the hardworking, talented and creative side.

It's cheesy but this PR/branding stuff does work. I used to work with this hack nurse who hired a PR agency and he either wrote or hired someone to ghostwrite all these blog articles about emergency medicine. Suddenly he was getting featured in magazines as "expert nurse Blah RN" and was also getting featured in various "Top Healthcare Provider" type lists and being flown around and getting paid to speak at conferences.

It was kind of annoying because he was pretty clueless when it came to actual patient care and was also a sleazeball who sexually assaulted about 40% of our female workforce. But he had great branding and PR! If you googled him you'd think he was super smart and very impressive.

My point being, sleazeballs like that have absolutely no qualms about outright fabrications, inflating their credentials and lying, so you shouldn't feel guilty about showcasing your most professional, smartest "authentic" self.

It shines by being extremely opinionated, but imo the tradeoffs are not worth it.

I was initially very curious about Angular2, but our relationship ended very quickly with the discovery of modules and dependency injection. It feels like some kind of arcane over-engineering compared to React's (and vue's) simple and sufficient import-and-use model.
What if the increase in lung cancer was caused by more breathes being taken. It would be funny if both the “energy/metabolism” crowd and the “cancer” risk proponents were correct.
Not yet, but could be possible if you can compile it into WebAssembly.
I'd think it would make you look fun, down to earth, interesting and the type of person who shows up at corporate events and supports the company. All good things. It's good to come across as someone who people can have a good time with and who doesn't take themselves so seriously!

Maybe ask your company to put in the description a link to your github or something... some clever line like, "when GT isn't singing the house down in boots he also codes up a storm doing blah... (link to your awesome work here)."
By the top professors, I meant world-renown, so they are well known in their fields. For example, I know that Alan Oppenheim is well known in DSP and Signal Processing community.
Consider replacing the fish oil with algae-derived omega 3. It has all the benefits with none of the downsides (toxic metals, fishy burps, environmental cost). Fish get their omega 3 from algae anyway so why not go straight to the source?

Google Fiber did a similar thing: they initially banned home servers, which was later relaxed a bit to only ban commercial home servers, but regardless it shows Google's hypocrisy regarding neutrality. (Sure they had some rationalization that since they were prohibiting something entirely it wasn't really interfering with net neutrality.)
I don't believe Go 2.0 will ever happen.

So far that page looks like when our government puts out "work commission" for any ongoing problem people complain about.

Go mailing lists have almost zero meaningful activity regarding Go 2.0.
State and local police did enforce the HOV lane laws, usually by catching people on either the on or off ramp. Now if you don't have the EZPass transponder they'll just mail you the bill.

A decent amount of people used to cheat in the HOV lanes but the penalties get very high very fast (fine doubles for each additional violation), so I think it worked as a decent deterrent.

The people who would be most upset by this change are the ones who scheduled their commutes either before or after the HOV restriction and hybrid drivers. I think it is a bit unfair to expand the HOV/toll period by this much since some people were getting in to work before 6:30 and leaving before 4 to make their commutes work.

The alt-fuel vehicle exemption will sting for people who were grandfathered in, but at the same time that was not supposed to last as many years as it did.
There are a few cases where widening roads actually does make traffic jams worse (Braess' paradox), but in the majority of cases, wider roads make traffic flow better, but more traffic flows, which makes the benefit smaller than what you'd expect if the same number of cars were on the road. It's debatable whether the increased traffic flow is an undesirable side effect or represents an increase in public utility.
Speed? CRC32 has dedicated CPU instructions on recent x64.
First company was very clear about its concerns and came with a list of what they wanted to know. Something they wanted to see with their own eyes it was no violation of any license, specially GPL.

The second company (Telco) was the opposite. The requirements were vague and its R&D team felt attacked because a local division of the company in UK chose us versus them. So I listed what they could see of our code and how (white room, our computers, no network, partnering with us all the time...) and I asked for a scoring method based on their requirements to know if we passed or not the test. They rejected all our conditions. They wanted the code to give us the “blessing”.

The funny thing about this Telco is the UK branch signed the deal no matter what R&D said. As I said R&D tried to hire our Team. They failed. Then they spent 2 years developing a copycat of our solution to replace us in UK. And when they finally were ready, the cost and impact of transition to their solution was too high, and the copycat solution was abandoned.

How to know if are good or bad guys? It’s hard. When both parts want to sign a deal everybody gets involved and pushes towards the goal. Also, connect to companies that did that before to tell you their story. For example, the Telco had an “extractive” reputation and people warned me.

Well now it takes hundreds of minutes, in which time the value of your bitcoin has changed, given its current volatility.

This essentially means that Chrome Apps are dead. No one will spend money developing new concepts for such a small platform unless they are paid to do so.
Holy crap, there is a top. To realize these gains, owners of bitcoins are going to have to convert back to fiat. US dollars have a built in floor as government issued fiat, which is that they are required to pay taxes.

The money supply of a country is a precious resource, and the government has a responsibility, and incentive, to maintain some level of control. Look how serious the Secret Service is about counterfeiting.

There are many tools the government has to control the use of bitcoin, the simplest being to just outlaw it.

They already treat individuals who sell bitcoin as a business activity with a heavy hand.

Libertarian geeks who haven’t thought things through seem to think that because it will be hard to impossible to completely shut down a distributed system, that means the government can’t control it.

Wake up! Look at Ross Ulbricht! The fact that he conducted his illegal business with bitcoin was used against him. It protected him zero amount.

It seems like I'm the only one who is happy about this. What's the point of restricting apps built using open web standards to one proprietary browser and app store? Agreed that there was a gap in offline support which Chrome filled at the time, but now it's time to move on and use newer and more widely supported APIs.

Ran across these videos a few months ago; at one video a night (~15-20 minutes a day over two weeks), it gave me a better intuitive understanding of linear algebra than a full semester in college.

These are only assembled in the UK of course. They are made all over the world.

Stockfish always plays with contempt on and it's very unlikely to play the move; maybe Houdini would but even then it's an absurd move.

AlphaGo is playing moves which doesn't make any sense even in the opening. I hope we get to see all the 100 games

since a map and a sum are both folds, you can simplify it further:

f = foldr (\x total -> total + (x * x)) 0

but this is actually a counter argument. look at all these ways of doing this simple operation with higher order functions. plenty of replies from intellectual napoleons like me, too. whereas with the for loop, there's nothing much to say, which seems like a good thing.

i genuinely don't know how to feel about this.

In each case that you have mentioned, the algorithms have been coded by humans. The machine is only following orders it has been given.

There have been some examples of machine processes that have come up with new information, but you will find that all the base work is human.
I don't believe that punishing people is wrong. I believe that punishing people is a waste of resources unless it accomplishes useful goals, such as discouraging that person or others from behaving in a similar manner in the future.

And if you accept that that is the goal, it is then logical to put resources toward the most efficient means of accomplishing it, to maximize your chances of success. I find it unlikely that long prison terms are that most efficient means in most cases (an exception might be dangerous likely re-offenders), given considerable evidence that it is ineffective in discouraging most forms of crime, and in some cases can increase likelihood of engagement in crime by ex-convicts.

Edit: there probably is value in some amount of prison time as a deterrent though, as I elaborate on in the comment below. My main point is that I highly doubt there is anything like a linear relationship, if any relationship at all, between the length of prison sentences and the effectiveness of the deterrent. And given that (if in fact it's true,) we might as well keep sentences reasonably short, and use the resources saved more effectively.
