You may disagree with the solution, but I don't see how privacy can be preserved given the technology we are building. Cameras getting smaller, and better. Microphones getting smaller, and better. Drones getting smaller and better. And all cheaper as well. Storage and search is also getting better and cheaper.

The reason this is a practical ISA is because quantum computers will be serve as co-processors to classical computers; hence the Fig. 1 illustration in that paper. The variational eigenvalue solver [0]; which is used to calculate the ground state of a molecule is a good example of the kinds of programs that this ISA will be used for. The QPU is only used to make calculations which can be sped up by a quantum computer; and the CPU is used for everything else.

Google gave me the exact same offer last year (assuming OP got offered 400 shares vested over 4 years, they were worth less at the time), and I have a very similar background. So it seems credible to me. The fact that I already had a lot of notionally valuable stock from a unicorn startup already vesting seemed to help a lot in negotiations. Then Google's offer helped me negotiate with everyone else (though I mostly applied to a different set of companies).

"“For the Kulung, the ethnic group that lives in Saadi, for them to be able to go onto the cliff and touch the honeycomb and the honey, you have to be selected by this wrathful forest spirit called Rongkemi through a special dream. And Mauli Dhan was the last person in the village to have this dream. There’s a very specific narrative dream you have to have about being stuck in a spider’s web on the cliff, and you’re rescued by this large white monkey. So he told his father and the village elders about the dream, and they said, ‘You’re the one. You’re the honey harvester.’"

If there is something Satoshi Nakamoto didn't seem to understand, is money. He designed a system that, being capped to a max amount of units, is intrinsically deflationary, and thus cannot serve as money.

Every single argument that you've mentioned, is a benefit, not a detriment.

Your arguments about how Bitcoin will prevent the government from printing money, and stealing it from people via inflation, is a pro, not a con.

Maybe I'm not clear on how a btc debit works but that seems foolish. Maybe a few years ago when it could actually function as a medium of exchange. Now the transaction fees are exorbitant.

In itself, that always existed: it's called gold and gems. It's the most primitive store of value ever- modern economies were born when we went past it.

It is hard getting out of the inflationary currency mind-set, I recognize that.

It's great. The money put on my debit card card a few months ago means that the beers I buy today are 1/3 of the price of what they were relative to the time the money was put on the card. And you know what's better than beer? Good beer on special.

What is a Bitcoin debit card? What payment system does that card actually use?

Converting BTC to fiat currency on the spot is not really the same thing as using Bitcoin to pay your bills, any more than selling some shares of stock and using the money to buy a house is the same thing as buying a house using shares of stock.
It was astonishing that people doubted the veracity of these #'s the last time this was posted a few days ago.

That is why we need to be talking about this now, not later. Those benefits are all true, and that means BTC might win.

This should terrify you. Think of a world in which you cannot collect taxes, and that not even prison can strip the wealthy of their coins. The wealthy will be able to do whatever they want.

How long until it becomes a crime to speak out against bitcoin? Or if not a crime, so socially backwards that you're looked at with the same contempt that the Chinese general population looks at their political activists? If you dare say this might be a bad approach, and you don't swallow the same madness that has overtaken everyone else, will you be shunned, left behind, or forced into it? The latter is the most worrisome; you won't want to keep your money in fiat, and the last billion people to switch will be subservient to the first ten thousand.

Should I be scared now, posting this here? For trying to say that we should launch a coordinated effort to stop this madness in its infancy? I run a very real risk of this following me around the rest of my life. Communism was once in its infancy too, and those who agitated for it or against it were penalized or rewarded by the waves of chance.

This disease -- the desire to get wealthy -- has been the basis of so much misery, and so much creation. It's as human as laughter. We'll never get rid of the lust for wealth. The only way we can manage it as a species is to control it. And Bitcoin removes this control.

> At giant retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon, the top 20 percent of spenders accounted for 65-70 percent of credit and debit card sales dollars in 2016. At all three, WI80=8-9x.

Some of these seems nothing more nor less than the unequal distribution of wealth in America.

What portion of total income, wealth, or spending to the top 20% of Americans in any of those categories have? About the same as the portion of Amazon sales from the top 20% of spenders, I wonder?

I'm not saying I'm not disturbed, but that part isn't about business models or plans, exactly.

On the other hand, the top 20% of Zynga spenders are probably more like the top spenders in a casino (and for pretty much the same addictive reasons), and not necessarily correlated to income.

It's an interesting observation that this pattern holds true in diverse companies/industries, but I'm not sure the reasons are related, or say much about business similarities.

> Likewise, at eyewear retailer Warby Parker (whose products have relatively low price variance), WI80 was only 3x.

Also, apparently no marketting has successfully convinced most glasses-wearers that they need more than at most 2 or 3 pairs of glasses at a time, regardless of if they can afford it! If the number of pairs of glasses you had was some kind of status symbol or something, I think there'd be more variance.

Not sure how you came to this conclusion. The point is that you can't argue "this is good for the company/shareholders/lender" if you're selectively choosing the winners without mentioning the losers. It's not compelling, especially not to regulators.

The issue is that if you allow manipulation of derivatives, then the markets become totally useless and they reward only the large players who have the resources to make large trades and deals that custom-fit the triggers to their own payoff profiles.

Many of the counterparties in the derivatives market trade against the banks where they do business, in effect meaning that banks would be manipulating their own customers if you allow certain manipulative tactics.

And like it or not, it's an established fact that manipulation in the derivs market is, broadly speaking, illegal.

Satoshi's mining/minting algorithm is manipulative by design.

Less computational energy and the least amount if users produced the most coins (for minimal external capital input).

Satoshi could have used a linear curve anticipating network growth matching minting and computational increase, but instead choose to exploit late adopters.

Early adopters will attempt to psychologically exploit new users by selling their asset for more than the cost of production and acquisition.

This has directly created the situation where utility is not in use but in exploitation of passing the hot potato to greater fools.

ecash should not exploit new users.

Just 32x32 image space is, like, larger the the atoms in the universe. Even per-tick financial data is quite small in comparison.

Or, from another angle, say you've got 10 ticks of a stock per second for 12 hours = 432,000 data points. This is the same as a single (relatively small) 380x380x3 image. If you assume there are roughly 30,000 instruments like this in the world of this volume, that's probably, I dunno, the number of images facebook sees in a second. Those are all guesses but you can see the scale of differences involved here.
