For all the bad press that Bitfinex gets, they're the only exchange that I know which lets you sign up for an account and start depositing, trading and withdrawing cryptocurrencies in less than 10 minutes. At least when my money is on Bitfinex, I know that I can take it all out at any time... With that kind of liquidity, I wouldn't care if Bitfinex was owned and operated by a colony of wild monkeys.

I don't care if they get hacked, so long as they don't get hacked during that small 10 minute window when my funds are sitting on their wallets.

By comparison, I've been waiting for 1 month and a half to get my account verified on Bittrex (to enable withdrawals). Ticket #347145

This is one of these points that really bugs me about the US and North America in general. Did you know there is NO land route to South America from North America? You have to take a car fairy at a certain point. Its ludicrous. The US should be actively trying to raise the bar for this hemisphere. Its also not totally unfeasible to create a land bridge from Canada to Europe through Greenland/Iceland. Ideas on how to do this are out there. Why not a silk Road for the America's, and a future Europe connection! Sure you may not equal the population reach of China, but population is posed to start declining globally anyways. Better to have 300 million "rich" people than 2 billion "poor".

There's no reason arbitrage should push up the price of Bitcoin. Tether exists to normalize arb opportunities between exchanges. That's what it was created for. There is indeed a real question as to whether or not Bitfinex has issued more Tether than it has in reserve, or whether or not they will actually pay people out for their Tether tokens. But there is no 'arbitrage feedback loop' driving the price rise.

And yet I meet social workers and other bureaucrats in this space that are clearly not making the kind of money I would require to work such a hard job.

I feel like societal investments in combatting poverty are so low that the inefficiencies we see are because we’re paying just enough to keep the lights on.

Flipping things around, imagine a startup that was only making < 50% more in profit than its total costs. We wouldn’t be so critical. We’d say, “Wow, you’re profitable? Congratulations!”

Flipping things a little further, imagine how
much more quickly a startup could become profitable if employees were paid the same as social workers. I'd argue that the delta in pay is at least partly attributable to the delta in how much each class of worker truly believes in the mission of the organization. That’s a sobering thought.

If you weren't running in the cloud, you would just use baremetal machines with prioritized job queues. You can keep a low-priority job queue doing video encoding 24/7, and keep any other jobs or applications at a higher-priority. The result is continuous resource utilization at near-peak with little contention.

This reduces complexity and overhead significantly. With a cloud model, each level of abstraction requires new methods for networking, orchestration, configuration, execution, debugging, etc. On a single baremetal machine, all of the resources are essentially the same things running on one layer. But you can still get fancy with cgroups, namespaces and quotas if you need enforced isolation or resource limits.

/24 per node is one option, but not the only option. But that gives you max 254 pods per node.

The simplest option is to just use routing [1]. You don't have to use an SDN. Not sure if DHCP is one of the officially supported options.

I know there are people out there who use MACvlan/IPvlan. Some people discourage these types of virtualized networks because the packet manipulation can be inefficient (unless the NIC explicitly supports it; I believe some support VXLAN?) and can hamper the kernel's scheduling.

From Wikipedia:

"An economic bubble or asset bubble (sometimes also referred to as a speculative bubble, a market bubble, a price bubble, a financial bubble, a speculative mania, or a balloon) is trade in an asset at a price or price range that strongly exceeds the asset's intrinsic value."

Seems like a reasonable description of bitcoin to me

I have yet to see a well thought out, rational, specific description of the intrinsic value of bitcoin. If it is the case that people think it will either be zero or a trillion market cap, that suggests to me that people aren't thinking seriously about the real world end game for bitcoin and thus that there's is no solid bounding of the potential intrinsic value

Bubbles are formed by people who think they are being rational, but in fact are not. One sign that you aren't being rational is when you don't think critically, quantitiavely, specifically and probabalistically about possible future states

I look at differently: it sucks that so many are willing to work for so little, or even nothing, that it sucks the air out of negotiating better compensation packages.

Compensation is how we provide for our families in this world. It's important. At least as important as the quality of schools and culture in an area, for example: two areas that lily-white flyovers are worse at. Note: I lived in the Midwest many years. The occasional urban area that defies the above is an exception, not the rule.

Note: I save the equivalent of a down payment on a nice home in the Midwest every year. Compensation is nice. In 5 years even if I have no growth I'll be able to move somewhere in the Midwest and buy a huge house even if my income halves. That security and peace of mind isn't available to folks happy to get paid less out of spite for the Valley.

That's a good question. Net Neutrality is not about whether an ISP can charge you more for using more bandwidth. It's about whether an ISP can charge your more (or restrict your usage) based on which websites you communicate with.

One way to think of it is that we already have "electric neutrality" (not a real term), which is to say, you pay for the amount of electricity you use, but you're free to plug in any appliance you want. Losing "electric neutrality" would mean that, for example, your utility could charge you more or less for plugging in an Apple microwave than a Microsoft microwave. That would be insane. Can you imagine trying to start a company selling a new appliance if you had to pay a special fee to an electric company to stop them preventing your customers from plugging it in?

Net neutrality supporters want the internet to be treated like a utility. We are willing to pay for the amount of data we use, but we are not willing to let an ISP decide which websites should have their data made cheaper or more expensive.

An internet with net neutrality is one where you pay for access to the whole internet (perhaps per Gb or perhaps your ISP chooses to sell you a plan with unlimited data). An internet without net neutrality is one where you might pay $X for a connection that only talks to Facebook, and connecting to Gmail costs $Y more. A brand-new startup in a world without net neutrality is at a huge disadvantage if they aren't included in the package of websites that a customer buys. That's the end of the internet as we know it.

>>> With lack of regulation new players came in with higher bandwidth and made it available to me increasing competition.

Funny. In the UK, with it's massively regulated marketplaces, one has far greater choice in home broadband providers. The concept that all regulation by government hampers innovation and investment is a highschool-level understanding of economics, an Ayn Rand approach. In cases of monopolies, which includes ownership of private infrastructures (railroads, fiber etc), regulation can keep markets open and alive that would otherwise stagnate. In a great many circumstances government regulation can foster competition. But such wider understandings don't fit well with modern identity politics.

Right, it is worse to have some money then none. But still, if you are super poor receiving free care, you do not get anywhere the same level of care as people with good insurance. But at least you're not paying tons of money for it or getting none (massive deductibles) like the middle class.
My rule of thumb: will your customers regret their purchase in hindsight? If you suspect most of them will, then yes, it's unethical to collect their money now.

Elsewhere in this thread people have compared casinos to video games, tobacco, and facebook. Video games run a full spectrum from predatory to wholesome, so you'd have to look at that on a case-by-case basis. I regret some, but definitely not most of the games I've bought/played. I'm not a smoker, but I think most smokers would prefer to not need to smoke. Looking at it another way, I don't think any smokers would prefer that their children start smoking, so in my view tobacco is unethical. Facebook has both saved and ruined lives so it's in a grey zone for me.

By this test, casinos/lotteries/etc. land firmly in the far unethical side of the spectrum for me personally, but you might have a different view based on your own experiences. Ideally someone would find hard data to support one view or another.

> if all it is is them charging customers more for using more bandwidth

It's not -- this is currently legal. Examples of what they can do if NN is repealed are: charge you extra per month to use SSH, VPN or other forms of encrypted traffic; and charge the guy down the street extra per month to stream Netflix (but Comcast video comes bundled free).

> what changes can we expect as ISP consumers if this happens?

It's hard to predict with much certainty. I see short term and medium term possibilities and likelihoods.

1. Short term, expect pricing changes that involve bundled services. Video is very likely first and biggest -- some video services strike deals with some ISPs to be offered at low cost while their competitors cost customers extra.

However this principle could easily be extended to any kind of websites -- music, social media, online banking, retailers, search engines, news sites, etc. For example you could picture a deal between CNN and Comcast such that all basic internet plans include CNN free but block Fox, NBC, etc unless the customer pays for a news upgrade.

2. There is also a near-term likelihood of extra charges for certain kinds of traffic -- SSH and VPNs top of the list because they can circumvent the other blocks; gaming; torrents; etc.

3. Censorship. This I think will start slow but is the biggest medium and long term threat. It could start with some politically unpopular sites like thepiratebay.org and wikileaks.org. Then I would expect it to creep in scope gradually, and soon the government will want to tell ISPs what to block like they do in Britain.

4. Messing with traffic in other ways, e.g. stuttering or buffering videos, dropping packets, changing contents of unencrypted connections to change text or insert/replace ads, etc. These things I see as possible but less likely, especially with encryption being more popular. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see these underhanded tactics employed against competing video services like Netflix, so that the customer gets fed up and switches to ISP Video.

Apple, Google, Microsoft have shown no interest in wanting to actively prevent these apps from being on the app store [1], [2], try spotting the fakes.

And the fact that there is no legislation against this behaviour, and there's no real way to punish leaks like this in a purely objective way.
