It seems you’re conflating trademark and copyright. Personally, I’m fine with trademarks continuing in perpetuity as long as the owner maintains the registration. Disney gets to keep their brand name and trademarked characters. It’s copyright on Disney’s films and music that’s the problem. Maybe I can’t make my own Mickey film, but I could certainly remix Steamboat Willie cartoons if they entered the public domain. Or do similar with their music. But it’s really not even about that. If Disney gobbles up all the copyrightable content, maintains copyright forever, then creating something new (but too similar) can put an individual artist in trouble with copyright law. That’s unacceptable.

But according to the IRS, you are only taxed at time of disposal when capital gains were realized. I am not at all familiar with Chinese or Japanese tax law, so I couldn't tell you what your liabilities might be there.

Maybe people who have traded currencies/stocks in bank jobs and done a bit of crypto trading as a hobby? Or who have a CFA and have traded crypto. I'm not sure there have been many/any professional crypto trading jobs as the thing is so new but other trading experience would carry over to an extent. I've got some stock experience and have recently started trading crypto a bit and there are lots of oddities with how to do transactions and the like with crypto so you'd want someone with some experience there.

This is one reason ICOs will hopefully disrupt VC strangehold. It's senseless for the fate of good companies to be determined by bogus social dynamics.

I get the regulation argument, but protecting stupid people from themselves is a losing battle. Everyone will know not to mortgage your house to invest in a new startup the same way everyone knows not to do heroin. Some people will anyway. But they already can participate in ICOs illegally, so it's a pretty decent analogy.

IMO Lightning network solves a non-problem. It only sets up a transactionless channel between two parties. The whole promise of Bitcoin was secure transfer to anyone. Maintaining a balance between two parties is trivial and solved thousands of years ago.

The whole reason we have currency is to allow transactions between people that don't trust each other, so I don't think Lightning network will do anything significant
Because at the moment, bitcoin has no redeeming qualities.

- it is not transactional, as each trade costs $30-40. as exchanges hold the orders for weeks

- it is not rare, as there are tons of viable cryptocurrencies coming out each day

- it is not safe, as exchanges go bankrupt and shutdown.

- it is not stable, as prices fluctuate wildly each day. Downside could be 90%, upside could be 20%.

- it is not fast, as 100K+ transactions awaits

- it is not anonymous

- it is not valued correctly, as a sell order of $100M will most likely reduce the price by 50%
> I think an even bigger danger than failing spectacularly is if they take too long to roll it out. Other cryptocurrencies are already gaining some favor because of the situation BTC is in now with the high transaction fees.

Who cares? Honestly, who cares if BTC is the one that wins? I only care about some cryptocurrency seeing mass adoption, I don't care if that's BTC or any of the other thousand coins.
Back at the end of the dotcom bubble, I was working at some expo, messing with some servers behind a small stage that the vendor had set up. At the stage was the former finance minister of Sweden speaking about "the new economy" which is what the bubble was called in Sweden before it burst.

I specifically remember hearing him address the question (it might have been rhetorical or from the audience) as to how this was sustainable given that most of companies involved didn't actually earn any profits.

Most of the overvalued companies involved during the bubble was consultancy companies making web pages for other companies.

I still remember being somewhat stunned by the answer he gave. He explained that that was not an issue since the new economy worked differently compared to the old one.

At that point I shook my head, focused my attention back on the servers and came to the conclusion that the bubble would burst sooner than later.

fiat - an arbitrary decree or pronouncement, especially by a person or group of persons having absolute authority to enforce it.

The amount fiat currency can be doubled overnight by the authority over the fiat currency. Stealing, in effect, from all of the people holding that currency. Non-fiat, like gold or bitcoin (at least this is what the true believers believe), have a high amount of work that needs to be done to just get a little bit more of it. No grabbing half the currency overnight.
I think it might be more accurate to say the laws are not enforced now as the markets are not regulated. That's not the same as legal. I'm not sure market manipulation / insider trading laws are that specific as to which asset you are manipulating as to make crypto ok. There's some talk now about Coinbase insiders trading ahead on bitcoin cash and some debate as to whether they could be done for that. I'd be curious how that plays out.

Blockchain-based currencies are not an acceptable replacement for the existing monetary system because of the extreme brittleness of their mechanisms. You really are completely on your own when it comes to things like getting hacked, losing your wallet, etc. And we know that nobody's machine is secure against a persistent attacker.

The social mechanisms (regulatory etc.) around retail banking are a crucial safety measure for individuals in the first instance. Bitcoin discards all that. If you repair the safety net, by creating a web of trust between principals (e.g. banks), proof-of-work becomes an unnecessary nuisance.

From the recent ING paper:
"The average person [...] dislike[s] having no rights, no recourse, no guarantees, no
legal coverage, nothing. They just want secure, reliable and hassle-free access to
their money, and if they forget their password, they want to be able to call their
provider and have the password reset for them. And with reason: recent analysis
suggests that up to about 20% of all Bitcoin in circulation may be lost forever, due to,
for example, misdirected transactions, lost passwords and crashed hard disks. Banks
are the usual providers of custodian functions preventing loss and theft."

It's possible to be anti-Bitcoin while accepting that digital money is the future.

'I can't do anything with Bitcoin that I can't do more easily with my credit card.'

That's false as your credit card issuer controls who you can and cannot transact with. With BTC you control whom you transact with.

> The change to the Sync security model happened in response to years of user feedback about the usability of the system as it was.

They should have improved default usability while still preserving their previously-unmatched security level. Yes, the old system didn't do what novices expected, and yes they should have gotten a default system which would. But experts should still be able to use a truly-secure system.

It's currently impossible to use the Sync system securely: even if one ran one's own Accounts server remotely, then an attacker would still be able to inject malicious JavaScript into the signin page. Accounts should never have been usable from within a web page; they should always have been isolated to the browser chrome.
It depends what you use Vim for. If Vim is your only code editor, it’s crazy that you’d leave tons of productivity enhancements on the table because you want that standardized, bottom-of-the-barrel experience. Nice things are nice!

I have tons of customizations in my Vim, and have very little trouble using vi or vanilla Vim when I log into production machines. It is frustrating to not have my magic this and that, but no less frustrating than it would be going from IntelliJ on my own box to Vim on someone else’s.

>I'm not familiar with Australian politics

I don't think you can really compare Australian Politics with US Politics the situation here is probably more similar to the UK than the US. Our parlimentry system is influenced by the UK 'Westminster system' we do not have a directly elected head of state. If you want to be technical the Govenor General appointed by the Queen is our Head of state. Sitting Prime ministers can be replaced by another member of their own party has happened several times in last 10 years.

To put my biases up front I am a left leaning voter who dislikes both major parties - voted for Greens most recently. Anyway here is my attempt to summarize it:

Our two major parties are the Labor party and the Liberal party.

"Liberal" in Australia has a different meaning to how the word is used in US. Calling someone a liberal or accusing them of holding liberal views has a very different meaning then in US. Here it refers to ecconomic Liberalism (support for private ownership and free trade). The Liberal party typically has a conservative stance on social issues.

Labor party has traditionally drawn it's support from Union movement it's policies mostly align with social democracy. In recent years labor has drifted more right-ward similar to Tony Blair led "New Labour" in UK. Labor party's stance on social issues has boggled my mind in recent years they tend to ping-pong all over the place. In general they take a more populist approach rather than standing on principles (i.e Kevin Rudd walking away from climate change action after declaring it the moral challenge of a generation during his election campaign) which in my opinion plays a big roll in growth of Greens (winning seats in state/federal parliament etc) as the 'inner city left' has somewhat abandoned Labor.

To call either party "insanely excessive" is inaccurate and I say that as someone who disagrees with both parties.

Nope.

Whenever someone tries to imply that the "enemy" is perfectly evil or malicious, as you are attempting to do here, you can be certain that someone is trying to propagandize you. I'm going to be charitable per HN guidelines and assume you're not commenting in bad faith, but just in case you are, my advice would be to dial back the hyperbole just a wee bit if you want to accomplish anything more than incel virtue-singaling.
BTC can be divided into satoshis, which are extremely small units. If someone loses 1 BTC, the value of all the rest simply goes up.
In other words: Bitcoin is mostly good for illegal transactions.
> Anyone creating an electronic device has to perform these calculations and design a power supply that is sufficient.

Yes. And it does look like a case of undersized batteries. If I had to guess, I'd say it was because of too strict product design specifications meeting a lower than expected quality in manufacturing.

CPU power peaks usually last for a (large) fraction of a millisecond or more, because that's how the OS scheduler works. Added to that, peaks may not happen for entire minutes or hours. Both of those work against the usefulness of large capacitor banks.

This assumes they only mined into a single wallet. They could have easily switched personas as a normal early bitcoin enthusiast. I would suspect that if you wanted to track the real Satoshi(s) down, you would start with a list of the earliest adopters. I would also look at people that maybe weren't the most vocal as they probably wouldn't have wanted to bring attention to themselves. Maybe they really did just completely step back though.
> But there is also a chance that we genuinely are at the beginning of the transition from Fiat currencies to crypto (beginning of the S-curve mass adoption)

I can only speak for myself but I see this chance as practically being 0.

As far as I can tell the only people who would need something like Bitcoin are those who participate in illegal/immoral activity. Seeing as there is no regulation, I don't think it's far fetched to believe those who have a large amount of Bitcoin, such as hackers who were paid ransoms in it, would have motivation to try to increase the perceived value of it.

Personally I believe that people, especially those who already participate in illegal activity, trying to profit is easy for my mind to grasp and believe than for some technological revolution. I suppose the bias from my personal experiences shows as well given that I haven't met a single person who has purchased Bitcoin for its utility but many who have bought it because "it's going to go UP!!!!!!!!!".

I suppose personally I don't want to see people throw their money away, especially because in this case I believe it will benefit scammers, and that's why I have a negative attitude towards it.

How come nobody is talking about them? Did China magically stop being the bad guys after their last controversy... in 2008?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/20/america-china-...

If we were really as critical thinking as we think we are, we'd be wondering why Russia is so important, and yet China is completely absent from the national discussion. You can learn more from what isn't covered in the news, than what is.

And I'm not saying Russia ISN'T important. I'm saying ALL nation-state actors are important and should be discussed. Anything and everything Russia has done, China is currently doing. So why aren't we trying to stop them just as much? Why aren't we digging up dirt on them, just as hard? Why aren't we probing our senators for connections to China?
Could it be they own a significant fraction of US interests? Hmmm...
I expect pyramid style for news stories about particular events, not for anything else. "How does the flu actually kill people?" isn't really an event, and I would be surprised if anyone could fit this story into the pyramid style and make it interesting to read.
I really don't care most of the time, mostly because I don't get long lines, and when I do ( like sometimes in tests I have a string that has some test data in it that's quite long ) I'm all good with it being long rather than wrapping.
>But there is also a chance that we genuinely are at the beginning of the transition from Fiat currencies to crypto

Maybe, but the current price is no reflection of that. The current price is based on speculation, not utility. No "maybe" about it.
