I don't think you're being creative enough with your slicing. Consider what happens when 90% of the primary world currency ends up concentrated with a few thousand - 100K people in the tech world and if that's really any sort of upside for the world.
Generating a private key for a given public key is computationally infeasible with current approaches: right now you'd just have to brute force it. But if someone finds a vulnerability they might be able to cut that time down to where it's commercially viable to get the private keys. At which point there's no way for anyone to prove they're the true owner of an address.

Government currency is mandated, bitcoin isn't. If bitcoin is manipulated, people can choose not to use it. If government currency is manipulated, people have no other (legal) choice but to continue using it. This makes the two distinct to a libertarian.

Some libertarians may be more pragmatic than others. For example, some may argue that so long as a government issued fiat currency is in use (as it is today), manipulations by the government should be held to a minimum. This may be the cause of the confusion.

How do you know being a good steward of that money doesn't mean just hoarding it and doing nothing?

Bitcoin encourages hoarding while it's going up. Who knows where this runaway phenomenon will lead.

At least the dollars and euros exchanged for it don't go anywhere. Bitcoin has fast become a store of value and redistribution of the world's wealth to early adopters, as any new fixed money supply would be.
I guess you didn't read the article you posted as evidence. In that article it says all the gold ever mined is 187,200 tons. Percentage of reserves != percentage of gold market.

There's some irony in an article about data science using only anecdote and emotion to make it's argument. :P

PhD's are notoriously (and understandably) finicky about doing non-research work when the job is sold as research, that's why you have to be sure you really need them. That issue has been around since long before data science in SaaS companies was a thing, it's been around since before the internet was a thing.

Assuming that there really is an exodus problem, PhDs being unprepared to lead teams and do non-data-science work is one theory that seems reasonable, but it definitely isn't covering all possibilities.

Having been in a couple of companies hiring data scientists recently, I personally think the big problem is expectation for data science in general, more than who's been hired to do the job. The couple of companies I've worked with, anecdotally, seem to expect "data science" to uncover huge missing profits, expose gaping inefficiencies, and reveal new revenue streams the business people didn't see. And when there turns out to be only minor ways to streamline things, the team of data scientists need something else to do.
Well it's obviously not necessarily more transparent. I know that the Fed is creating money, I can find out how much it's creating and I can listen to government officials explain why we should create more/less money or why we should make money in this instance but not that one, etc. I can even vote for people whose dollar creation opinions line up with mine.

In BTC I don't know who's creating it, what they believe about it and I have no way to affect their creation of it. Seems like the democratic governing system is more fair and transparent so where did I go wrong?

Yes, you can not get into someone else's Mac. However, what if the last opened application was Terminal? I can think of several scenario where you can do "damage" without logging in—if this bug is real—depending on the last opened application.
While the parent's example shows a misunderstanding of economics, it's more accurate in the realm of politics, where positional compromise on a number of issues is impossible. For instance, one can require or not require voter ID, but one cannot require half an ID card. So, in a functional political system, one may trade the undesirable qualities of voter identification for free state IDs, or extended poll hours, or a PSA ad buy regarding registration, or a new bridge. Horse trading allows compromise on issues where a halfway point doesn't exist.
Honestly, as a Rails dev, this just seems more complicated than creating a Rails app in API mode and using #{React||Vue||Ember}} for the front-end.

It's extremely easy to get started with a front-end app using vue-cli. This article spends a lot of time changing Rails' default functionality to achieve behavior similar to what vue-cli gives you by typing `vue init webpack` and answering a few questions.

I understand that getting up to speed with a front-end framework takes time, but in my case, it was time well-spent (I used Maximilian Schwarzmüller's Vue.js course on Udemy). There's no shame in just using Rails for the API.

> I am wary of the entire thing because we are starting to spend more time talking about money. Or making money on money.

You can also have positive discussions about money, for example: inequality, altruism, basic income.

I've been thinking about a hypothetical "altruistic" cryptocurrency that could have some rules to combat inequality. It might even be possible to provide a basic income to everyone based on a web of trust, although there's probably a million ways to cheat that kind of system.

Here's an interesting simulation that shows what happens when every person gives a dollar to another random person: https://en.yaronshemesh.com/inequality/

So the algorithm wouldn't do that. But it could have some built-in taxation rules for every transaction, and the taxes would be distributed fairly. A portion could also go towards "effective altruism", such as charities listed on givewell.org.

I just realized that taxes are actually a form of forced altruism. The money goes towards good things (schools, hospitals, roads), but you get in trouble if you don't "donate" the appropriate amount.

It's actually very possible that taxes could be enforced with a blockchain contract. It would be nice if all of humanity could somehow agree on all of our necessary shared expenses, and then encode those laws into some software that governs a blockchain. We wouldn't need the IRS anymore, and nobody would need to donate any money. It could just be implemented as a "sales tax" on any transaction. Perhaps the United Nations might be able to manage the distribution, but I actually agree with Donald Trump when he says the UN is plagued with mismanagement and bureaucracy [1]. So I don't know, maybe we need to reinvent politics at the same time. (Although I wouldn't want a democracy where every single person can vote on every issue.)

Imagine if no-one accepted any currency unless it was backed by a global blockchain. Companies could no longer hide money offshore to avoid (or evade) taxes. All of their corporate income taxes would be calculated and paid out automatically by the global network, and no-one would accept their payments if they don't follow all of the rules.

This isn't really true. New USD is created anytime someone gets a loan. The Fed impacts that money creation only indirectly by setting rates (not considering QE -- even with QE, the point remains: new money is created when a loan is made by a fractional-reserve institution)

Edit to further elucidate: It isn't exactly the loan that creates money, but what happens with the money after the loan. It will almost certainly land in a bank account somewhere, adding to that bank's reserves, which allows them to lend 90% of the loan's value again. (assuming a 10% capital reserve requirement)

That's exactly the reason that the vast majority of foundations are frauds used to shield money from taxes by the ultra wealthy: setup a foundation one controls, transfer money into it and have foundation spend 5% on "charities" while extracting value from the foundation by having it provide the lifestyle for those who set them up.
Need cash? Have a foundation lease a copy machine from you for $2000 a month. Want to have a dinner at French Laundry? Have a foundation pay for your meeting with a potential donor, etc etc etc.

>If bitcoin is manipulated, people can choose not to use it. If government currency is manipulated, people have no other (legal) choice but to continue using it.

Isn't this going to create a run on the currency? So say tomorrow some news comes out proving these btc whales are responsible for 80% of the order book and are manipulating the market, isn't it the slowest people to react who are stuck holding the bag?

Furthermore, isn't the problem with btc that we don't know if it's being manipulated or not? Manipulation or not at least I know what's going on with the dollar.
Bitcoin is now in a situation where they have a very hard time doing a fork, because with every fork they risk having some people remaining on the old code and claiming to be the true bitcoin.

Thus bitcoin can no longer evolve. We all know what happens to things that do not evolve.

Ethereum on the other hand is putting a time bomb into their code that forces them to fork every year or so. There is no risk of people remaining on the old code.
Fear and greed at work. They have driven many other other markets in the stratosphere in the past. Study history and what happens after :)
The raw computing power of the human wetware has not increased appreciably over historical timescales, but the total intelligence of humanity, includes, for example, the increase in effective intelligence gained by storing knowledge in external devices like books. The gestalt organism that is "humanity" is much smarter than it was 500 or even 100 years ago, which correlates with our ability to extract resources. It's an extremely simplistic model, but since I was only after a very rough guess, I went with it.
Considering the difficulty involved in even buying bitcoin I'd have to say no. If you want to make a sizeable investment you need to hand over large amounts of personal data to an exchange. I'm talking the works; routing number, passport, proof of residency etc. I should be able to simply walk to a BTC ATM put cash in and add it to a wallet on my phone (perhaps you can in some places?). Additionally, exchanges like Coinbase are required to report any transaction over 20,000USD to the IRS. Fiat cash is much less of a PITA.

Inability to get a response upon reporting the vulnerability without heroic measures is more disturbing to me than the vulnerability. Vulnerabilities _will_ happen (even if this one is particularly... basic), but if the company isn't paying attention to responsible private disclosures, that's even more disastrous.

MS's eventual changing of their key practices suggests that they do agree this was a vulnerability, so discussions of how bad this vulnerability is seem irrelevant to me. The disturbing thing is not about how bad the vulnerability is, but about inability, as far as we can tell, to get MS to even analyze and evaluate the vulnerabilty without heroic measures including journalists threatening exposure.

It led to a good outcome. If anyone deserves to be a crypto millionaire, it's Andreas, for everything he's done for informing people about what Bitcoin is all about. He's responsible, at least indirectly, for why the price is so high today.

As for Roger Vers' comment, not everyone was in a good financial position in 2012 and 2013. I wasn't. If I was, I would have bought enough bitcoin that I would have easily been a millionaire by now. But instead I watched from the sidelines, and bought a small amount at a time when I could and did my best not to be in a position where I was forced to sell, which still happened at one point when I was unemployed for four months.

I'm in a much better position nowadays, but still not so well off I can afford more than $100 each month to invest into it.

Hm. While I think it's awesome that the Rails community is moving towards adopting modern JS practices, from this post, it's not making a very good case for _why_ you'd want to do this.

Modern JS is lovely to write compared to ES5, but this tutorial doesn't write any yet! Perhaps this'll be addressed in the next part of the tutorial (although doing it in a framework-agnostic way seems tough).

Also, if I'm reading this correctly, they're still attaching an `erb` for each component, and using Rails to determine how they relate to each other? This feels a bit wrong to me, at least for dynamic web applications; when you have a framework like React controlling all of your front-end rendering, it's easy to integrate client-side routing and make it a single-page app, which means lightning-quick page transitions.

So yeah, delighted to see Rails move towards this direction, and this post is super helpful in explaining the "how" for a basic setup, but not the "why"; it also falls a bit short IMO in going "all the way", to have the front-end truly control its destiny and reap the benefits associated with that.

The article alludes to this at the end but doesn't talk the real reason head on. As these are leveraged products the banks are exposed to large swings in the contract price via various clearing mechanisms. So they are looking at the volatility and asking what happens when someone doesn't pay and we have to step in and cover them. BTC is a bit of a volatile underlying. If I was in clearing risk I would be worried too.

I found Clean Architecture to be a big disappointment. I specifically waited for its release to read all of his architecture-related advice in one volume, and then found that most of the meat was in figures and diagrams which I couldn't follow because of my visual impairment. I realise that's not entirely Uncle Bob's problem, but all the way through the book I was telling myself that it would be worth it once I reached the case study in chapter 33. At which point he zoomed through a use case and architecture diagram and called it a day.
