Wouldn't you then have to compare the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, not just mining?
While this sounds impressive, I'll believe it when AlphaZero wins TCEC.
In answering questions like that, like "X solves this big societal problem why don't we use X?" I think the reasons have little to do with the problem in question. It usually boils down to who profits from the current status quo.

"There is simply not enough competition to rely on the free market to keep net neutrality as a fiscal priority."

You're answering a question I didn't pose.

I wasn't even specifically speaking about net neutrality - something I am sympathetic to.

I was lamenting the fact that the level of discourse is lower than I'd hope it to be. Knee jerk "that guys not on my team" responses aren't helping to encourage me.

The thing about the lesser of two evils is that it’s the lesser of two evils and picking it over the greater of two evils is a good choice. That said, the most important issue of our time is climate change and the difference there is utterly clear.
The problem with your several questions are that you won’t get an answer to the easy ones before they have had time to think about the harder ones.

In this example it might not make a difference, but sometimes you can make some progress if you get to know if it should be red or green even before you know if they want to move production to China.

Most importantly, many questions make the email feel more overwhelming. Three short emails can each often get an immediate response. An email with three questions needs to be found time to answer.

Sometimes I wonder if Bitcoin was a plot to destroy the world through exponentially increasing energy consumption that leads to accelerated global warming that ends the human race. Whoever created such a thing would have reason to hide.
Interestingly it makes me a better programmer after being used to the Go style. Now I don't allow unused headers/variables in my C/C++ code and feel natural to check every return error. 'Optional' warnings don't happen anymore either since -Werror feels familiar. Overall my C/C++ code becomes more reliable and easier to debug.
I don’t know, for buying and selling Coinbase seems to be pretty user friendly. You can sign up for an account, link it to your bank account and start trading in minutes. Not sure how much easier it could get.
The final block will be mined in 2140, so we're not quite to the transaction-fee-only point yet.
That's the last book I'd buy from that author. If you want to write about politics, write about politics. Don't try to sneak your political views into a technical book.

O(n²) power drop off only applies to a spherical emission. Focused power drops of much more slowly.
Mining is required for more than just the fees or the block reward.

Even if fees were zero and block rewards didn't exist, people who had bitcoin would mine so that no one else could mine and trivially double-spend (and thus devalue their bitcoin).

The value of mining is based in no small part on how valuable bitcoin are since mining is what preserves that value by preventing attackers from destroying it.

What's worse, the needed amount of electricity to secure an amount of bitcoins is relative to how much energy an attacker can expend, not some constant value which will remain low.
13 TWH globally? The US alone produces 4000 TWH of electricity [0].

I think the simplest way to explain the need for net neutrality is to point out these two things:

1. ISPs are currently an oligopoly that would be the only beneficiaries to a non-neutral internet. Customers can't choose between ISPs, so we need to make sure that the ISPs don't hurt their customers.

2. The internet is an economy, and a non-neutral internet would directly prevent competition.
The question I’d pose to the author is, what would he think of a book using examples he disagrees with? Let’s say for advocating for arming every American or against gay marriage.

The vast majority arguing like the author are not ok with this - it’s only good if the content fits their world view.
Its definitely fast, but... is it actually going to be effective for the cost? Probably not in the long term.

Having used this “one click” setup on Twitter and Facebook before I know these campaigns are increasingly ineffective.

That said, the App Store is a different kind of ecosystem so things could go differently.
I realize this is from 2000 but why would anyone think this person's trite and wholly conventional political opinions are in any way interesting or noteworthy? Strange psychology this guy has, like he's just trying to rattle off as many "controversial" "issues" as he can name, with no regard for his readership... the whole thing comes across as juvenile and narcissistic.
When you change jobs, you can rollover your 401(k) into an IRA, so if you're in an industry where change jobs every 3-5 years, the extra savings makes the difference pretty small (you can always put your money into a low-fee index fund in the 401(k) and then manage it more when you rollover).

Further, a lot of 401(k)s at larger companies that use Fidelity (at least, possibly others) have a feature where you can allocate money into a general brokerage sub-account, where you can invest in anything you could if you opened an IRA at Fidelity.
I like building back-ends in Go. That being said, the type system is really not its strong suit and you will still want to write tests.
The block reward in the final blocks will be 1 satoshi (1/100000000 of a bitcoin). The block reward will be completely irrelevant many years before that. We don't have to wait until 2040 for the fee market to overtake the block reward.
Why would they go with that deal. How did anyone at Yahoo read that and said "Great, let's do this".

Was it desperation - "If only we could put yahoo search in front of all those firefox users, yahoo will prosper again". Sadly I do imagine someone saying that. People who would disagree probably jumped ship a long time ago.
The Stretcher Railing Society
In Sweden’s case it’s because we - as a nation - view non state sanctioned drug use in any form as a moral failing, rather than medical one. Lethality among heavy drug users is really high compared to Central European countries, and politicians think that’s fine as long as the stats for how many people have used drugs in any capacity look good.
If your average power plant is 500MW, that's still 26,000 power plants the world would not otherwise need.

Edit: gah, embarrassing error. It's late.
> If your function doesn't throw errors now, but does in the future, that's an API breakage.

So what you're saying is that, to avoid future API breakages, you should include an error result in every non-trivial function, and probably the trivial ones too in case a changing spec makes the behavior not so trivial anymore.
Ask HN: How can I become a world-class engineer?
I'm a self-taught developer with a few years of dev experience at a startup. I'm now in the unfortunate position of needing to find a second job.

For the first time my lack of CS degree is hindering me, as the mid-level roles I'm looking for seem to heavily favor those with experience using statically typed languages. I find myself in the position where I have a hard time getting interviews for the jobs I'd like to get, whereas the interviews I do get tend to be companies that don't appear to be technically demanding.

So how can I level up? Obviously online courses and projects are useful (I do lots of these), as is grad school (not currently an option). But what more can I do to become a really, really good engineer (vague, but lets assume software generalist), when I'm not sure if I'll be able to get mentorship/resources to work towards that at a my next job?
Strange, only because my dad was type 2 as well, but my entire life (79-2006, when he passed from cancer), he would constantly talk and knew if he would eat right (meaning no macro-extremes, mainly) , he wouldn’t need insulin, so he knew his sugar binges weren’t good for his diabetes (his cravings ranged everywhere from twinkies and regular Coke, to piles of pasta with no flavoring but a ton of butter).

However, he was able to bring his weight and diabetes under control before he found out he had cancer, and he was able to control it with just a balanced macro diet (and he had tried everything from Atkins to acupuncture advice).

I guess I’m saying this for two reasons: 1, it’s so crazy how little we know about diet and biology regarding individuals, and 2, there might be other options for people with the diabeetus out there, but it’s crazy how calorie control works best for different people, depending on the approach.

Also, I was pretty sure that keto was primarily high protein and high fat, (though thinking about it, an 80% fat diet could still be considered keto; I just think protein is not only calorie saving, it’s muscle sparing effects are incredibly important, esp for men).
Users are not paying for security, they are paying for having their transaction processed. In fact, I don't see that users have any way to measure the security of the network granularly: if secure, everything works. If not, systemwide chaos ensues.
Hmm - do you have a cite on your claims about the UK? It's hardly fair to ask for citations when you give none.
I don’t think we can hold Apple responsible for 3rd parties like Flurry. Those companies will always find a way to do what they do because there is incredible value in having access to such data (as a developer).
Thank you for meeting us here!
Maybe I'm over-interpreting "work", in the physics sense, but won't any proof-of-work scheme have the same problem? To get more coins, miners need to do more work, and that takes more energy.

I can't see that it matters what the hashing scheme is, the work will always expand to use the available energy.
A lot of people here saying crypto isn't used for anything illegal... erhm... Remember silk road boys? sure, the feds shut it down (more popped and and got shut down, I don't know personally but there's probably multiple variants on the theme out there now), but nowadays one of the big drivers is getting your wealth out of china (illegally), and are any of these guys reporting their capital gains to the irs?
Shit tons of illegal shit happens with cryptos without even going into scams or hacks.
If swift had a better concurrency story I would be all over it. The general vibe I get though (as an iOS super noob) is that concurrency patterns were already established back in the ObjC days and there’s little incentive for Apple to change it.

I sure hope I’m wrong!
The version of iPlayer which I worked with had a setting to enable "beta features", this includes 4K UHD videos. So you'd probably need to spoof a TV/STB UA and set a cookie.
I'd say its the opposite. Bitcoin has the practical capacity for its generation to happen in a place where you can put all solar panels. Maybe the future of miners is a cave in the saudi desert.
It had been serving it the WP7 app until Google started blocking it. At the same time Google blocked the WP7 browser on YouTube. There was nothing technical. Google was still serving up YouTube videos to iPhones.
Oh, the situation has changed then! Thanks for the correction.
So...saying (but what) "about the energy usage of video games and porn" is not whataboutism? Got it.
I don't think this technique immediately applies to Stratego because it's not a perfect information game.

I suspect it would exceed the state of the art in Arimaa, since Arimaa is specifically designed to have a high branching factor (17281 -- compared to 35 for chess), and this technique was designed to work well in high-branching factor games (since Go is a high-branching factor game, though much lower than Arimaa).
If you said, the miners are near wind-farms, then I would eat up your statement about oversupply. For hydro more or less, that is electricity that could be used for something else but being burnt.

I am not sure about Chinese miners being near hydro-electric some may be and some may be not, but over all its complete waste of energy.

When it comes to energy efficiency nothing beats centralized. I do understand the motivation behind decentralized, but you pay the price!

Hopefully Proof of Stake with reduced power consumption becomes a norm, but I am skeptical.
It pisses me off that Amazon doesn't support chromecast, but is it really their responsibility just because google wants them to implement their feature that they do?
As an entire state no, but Pittsburgh and the western half of the state definitely feels Midwestern.

Do apps really sell themselves? Not really. Plus, with so many apps, the real challenge is getting visibility.

In that sense, I think search ads could offer a ton of potential, but don’t think it’s running correctly now/yet.
Right, I was gonna say that Coinbase is currently the best way to buy and sell coins today. I can say that as I have accounts on a number of exchanges. Still, Coinbase does not let you know that they also operate GDAX.com, where you can "make a market" and buy/sell for no fee. A buy/sell on Coinbase is basically a market order on GDAX.
Exactly.

I think both China and US have their own "ways of doing things" that disadvantage foreign players, but I do think at this stage China has some catching up to do if it wants to claim to be an open, level playing field, etc, and Ma is in no position to be talking about such a thing.
Another irony here is, you're eventually going to have to worry about panics anyway.
hi team

this is birru you're shared new future in bit-bucket (bit-bucket deployments) but it not visible in bit-bucket account

And plenty of countries without private prisons or large alcohol & tobacco companies or "slave labor" treat drugs way worse than the US.

My point isn't that "countries all treat things exactly the same". My point is that the OP's alleged reasons don't really hold up once you abandon a myopic US-centric view and actually look at other countries.
Guys Isn't it about time we refer to some other countries in the world for some reference point especially when our nation's media is polluted by Fake News, Fake Comments and #FakeWhatNot?

For example in INDIA. India's TRAI is trying really hard to ensure Freedom is maintained on the "Service" of Internet itself.

Referring to this Wiki Article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_India

Section "2016"

TRAI rules in favor of Net Neutrality[edit]
The TRAI on 8 February 2016 barred telecom service providers from charging differential rates for data services, thus prohibiting Facebook’s Free Basics and Airtel Zero platform by Airtel in their present form. (Airtel was the largest Tel. Provider in 2016.)[62]

In their latest ruling,[9] they have stipulated that:

1. No service provider can offer or charge discriminatory tariffs for data services on the basis of content.
2. No service provider shall enter into any arrangement, agreement or contract, by whatever name called, with any person, natural or legal, that the effect of discriminatory tariffs for data services being offered or charged by the service provider for the purpose of evading the prohibition in this regulation.
3. Reduced tariff for accessing or providing emergency services, or at times of public emergency has been permitted.
4. Financial disincentives for contravention of the regulation have also been specified.

@AG Schneiderman on net neutrality and protecting our voice in government, can we use some of these points to our favor?

Capitalism is "Great"! but the powers vouching for "it" need to know that it CAN NOT go against the Constitution of the United States of America and the rights of Americans.
Seriously. Everyone knows what the difference is but they're too afraid to say it.

No, you haven't converted MW to MWH. A 500MW plant produces 4.4TWH per year (assuming 100% capacity factor.. it'll be less than that depending on the type of plant). It's maybe 3.5 x 500mw nuclear plants.
I wonder how many people defending bitcoin here are _aren't_ bitcoin holders. I suspect very few, as I suspect that if you're holding an asset that's appreciated 1000% in the last year you're going to have a hard time being very objective about any criticism that seems to undermine that asset.

The amount of power bitcoin is sucking up is truly astounding. There will eventually come a point where states are motivated to act against the network, and I'd consider it wishful thinking on the part of bitcoin investors/true believers that states have no real recourse. All that power comes from very large physical sources, which can be controlled with violence. Short of that, China could nationalize the miners and run a 51% attack, driving the price to zero. TLA's have sufficient resources to deanonymize transactions and enforce civil or criminal penalties.

People keep viewing bitcoin as this abstract cryptographic thing, but it exists in the physical world, and in this world sovereign states hold ultimate power. When major powers decide that bitcoin is not in their interest, they will end the experiment. The truest believers will be left holding the bag.
Which do you think uses more computing hardware, every Bitcoin miner in the world, or the VISA payment network? Even today, the answer is quite clearly the total Bitcoin mining network--now consider expanding the scale of Bitcoin transactions to the VISA network, a 1000× scale increase.

Almost by definition, cryptocurrency requires spending useless energy. In electronic transactions as they exist today, you essentially only have to update the tables in two institution's databases (plus all the replication and backups that entails). A cryptocurrency requires everybody to record their transaction--and do a bunch of useless cryptography to to ensure that they do so.

Asking how much emissions it costs to mine the gold or grow the cotton to satisfy my paycheck is misleading. Exactly 0 joules were spent: no gold needed to be mined, nor coins minted, nor dollar bills printed to satisfy the electronic transactions to decrement a number at my employer's bank and increment the number at my personal bank appropriately.
To be honest this sounds.. kind of reasonable?

What is this? "Write about what you want, but only if I also want it!" He wants to write a technical book with political examples, and did. How do you justify the requirement that books must into clean archetypical categories against the "do what you want" argument you just made?
