That would contaminate the ocean. It's easier to "dump" it (carefully and deliberately) into crystalline bedrock or salt deposits where it will remain for millions of years, well beyond the time that it is dangerous. People spreading fear about storing nuclear waste in repositories are generally lying to you or repeating lies someone else told them. It's a fairly solved problem from the technical side.

One of the things I find surprising about the way we do science today, is the idea that "data is king" and that it "speaks for itself". In reality, data devoid of context, is absolutely meaningless. If the goal of scientific researchers and journals is to promote good science, it's absolutely shocking that practices such as pre-registration of hypothesis and methodologies, are still completely optional.

I think the frenzy around bitcoin has just exposed the fact that many people in tech are in it for the money and don't really care about building products that positively "change the world."
It sounds like the VA hospitals are suffering from major failures of protocol and procedure, none of which can be solved by IT systems, even if they work well. Turns out that computerized systems also require that humans follow protocol and procedure in order for them to function properly. But either way, these systems don't operate in a vacuum. Someone needs to analyze the real-world impact of these problems and develop a workflow and procedures that work with the hospital's organizational structure, physical layout, current and planned staff, training, auditing, procurement, patient scheduling, and accounting systems. No software contract for one piece with HP or IBM or Cerner is going to address all of that.
How do you feel about SpaceVim？
SpaceVim is a distribution of the vim editor that's inspired by spacemacs. It manages collections of plugins in layers, which help collect related packages together to provide features. For example, the python layer collects deoplete.nvim, neomake and jedi-vim together to provides autocompletion, syntax checking, and documentation lookup. This approach helps keep configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by keeping them from having to think about what packages to install.

Oh I remember this form my Digital Electronics course but I have never used them since then Because I haven't used actual pure combination logic since that course either.
Again, a very selective headline, since the analyst is essentially saying there are no "fundamentals" to bitcoin, nothing to really anchor it's price.

Yes, the value could be zero - if no-one wants to buy it. But currently, some do, and so the "value" is whatever they are willing to pay, either in terms of dollars, or head of cattle, or whatever.

Of course if "value" is defined as "intrinsic usefulness" then it perhaps is actually worth nothing at all, very much like any fiat currency (though in paper form I guess those have some "firewood" or "toilet paper" value).
The MP was part of a government who made a lot of moral comment about pornography. He accessed extreme pornography at work. Police needed to investigate because it was so extreme it might have been illegal.

He then lied about what the police had done.

That's not a vendetta, that's holding people to account.
My dads pension plan was raided in exactly that manner. Thankfully, his union took care of it for them, hiring a shark of a lawyer who got it refunded by fining the hell out of the executives and the company for their illegal actions.

Of course, he also inherited thousands of acres of land, so he’s not exactly in a bad place had it not been funded again.

> It is very safe and very clean and provides near limitless power.

Very much true. Nukes produce 60% of the carbon-free energy in the USA!

> Now we would only need to build next generation (Thorium) reactors.

There are lots of advanced next gen reactor designs with passive safety, advanced process heat, renewable fuel (replenished from erosion into seawater), etc. Only a handful of which use Thorium. The whole Thorium thing was a rebranding attempt by a guy named Kirk Sorensen who wanted to have a advanced nuclear rebirth. I don't like it because I want to see advanced nuclear of all fuels, not just Thorium! But that's a minor point.

The S. Koreans and Russians have standardized their reactor designs and built a bunch of them, and in doing so they learned how to fabricate the parts and put them together very cost effectively. The rest of the nuclear industry needs to learn from this to keep construction costs down. Options for this include:

1. Build nuclear reactors in shipyards. This is a controlled environment with high replicability. Then deliver the nukes on barges or even operate them a few km offshore with subsea cables.

2. Pick a design and stick to it. The entire industry goes around saying they have the latest and greatest design but none of them are great unless someone works the kinks out of constructing it. The best solution here in my mind is to develop national open source reactor designs.
C# is significantly missing tooling. The tooling on Windows is okayish, but that's about it.

You have no cross-platform build and dependency management tool that runs on .NET Core (Using MSBuild and NuGet together requires Mono or the full .NET Framework), and there's only an early version of JetBrains' Rider IDE for non-Windows platforms, there's basically no working integration with any CI or CD system, and the library ecosystem is basically not existing, compared to the open source Java world.

This is not a good article on bitcoin as it focuses on valuing it as a medium of exchange.

Seeking alpha has a better series on the subject which provides charts and sources to back up its analysis.

The above article just cites a Morgan Stanley paper without providing access to it.

This part of the seeking alpha series focuses on btc usage:

https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4122695-bitcoin-series-...

If you look at btc usage, it seems like about 97% of blockchain transactions are speculation. I.e buying/selling on exchanges as opposed to it being used to pay for goods and services.

When you factor in transaction costs and the time it takes transfers to go through, it seems pretty safe to say that btc in its current form is not being used as money. This is nothing new.

The question now is what if anything is btc worth as a store of value? I’d love to see an article dig into that question a bit more. All the parent article has to say on this topic is:

“Like digital gold? Maybe. Does not have any intrinsic use like gold has in electronics or jewelry. But investors appear to be ascribing some value to it.”

Which really doesn’t tell you much.
I think the issue is more that the social sciences themselves are attempting to operate as the natural sciences do with predictive, falsifiable, and independently actionable conclusions.

History is invaluable and the lessons learned can provide some degree of predictive power. Yet it would be unreasonable to try to argue that something ought be enacted as, as a matter of fact (or at least heavily supported hypothesis), because of results derived from the study of history.

The social sciences in general seem to be want to be allowed to behave as a "historical and descriptive" field, yet be received with the same credulity as, for instance, experimental physics. Ultimately, I think the field needs to choose to go one way or the other.

The thing to me is that you should still need a third party to arbitrate disputes and get the system to function (you can't implement all the weird edge cases of laws) so it wouldn't be trustless and shouldn't require a blockchain.
All currencies are assets intended to be exchanged for other assets. Go read the original Bitcoin whitepaper. It’s all about enabling transactions—not hoarding an mountain of coins like some kind of mythological dragon. Whether or not bitcoin is converted to other currencies during a transaction is irrelevant.
That's what their story is, but unlikely to be true. All "horrific" pictures will have to be graded by a human, because you have the right to face your accuser, the service providers will not let you near their codebase and AI won't be 100% accurate in the next few years.

What they will be able to do with that software is trawl through orders of magnitudes more pictures, filter by probable hits and show those to staff. Right now someone has to be suspected to warrant the expensive attention of an expert. With that software you can fish in everyone's data.
So are you against municipalities having the right to determine their own laws and regulations then? Just because you don't like the law doesn't mean you can ignore it.

My point is not whether or not the regulations should exist, in many cases they probably should not. I was just pointing out that having companies willing to operate in legal gray areas could have a distorting effect on the existing market.

The original question was what regulators could do, and an answer is to enforcing existing laws where applicable.

I have begun to think of formal methods as a sort of tar pit. The idea is attractive to people who are concerned about correctness and are aware that you can reason about program behavior, but they do not yet provide a solution to the practical problems of writing correct software. On the other hand, this is not an excuse for abandoning any attempt at reasoning about programs, and settling for trial-and-error as the only way to write software.
A lot of these funds are either illegally sourced or at risk of government seizure. Crypto provides an avenue to possibly "save" these funds.

I am extremely impressed by Microsoft. I think Microsoft has proven the world that nothing is impossible. Once a hip tech company at the beginning of the computer era, then transitioned into an old, boring and outdated corp has now turned into one of the healthiest, most innovative, brave and genuinely nicest tech giants of our time again. What Microsoft has done and achieved in recent years is astonishing.

They played many years catch up and I think at the point when they realise they cannot do everything themselves and started to embrace the open source world they quickly moved from catching up to being the innovator who pushes new limits again (Azure, Surface devices, Window 10, .NET Core, etc.)

It's already a bit old, but I wrote a blog post not too long ago where I tried to sum up some of the amazing things that happened at Microsoft over the course of the last few years:

> One person's abuse can be another person's pornography.

That is accurate for virtually all pornography. If you research how the "industry" works, you will quickly discover that it's built on advanced psychology, specifically hypnosis, torture, culture of fear and other brainwashing techniques.

The porn cult is every bit as vicious, evil and destructive to women as any cult you can name.
Agreed - this MS analysis is weak. More of a press piece without much critical thinking. See this link below for the best analysis I've read on Bitcoin, from a hedge fund that started buying it in 2015 and now has it as 50% of AUM.

I'm kind of hazy on what the "self-fulfilling prophecy" you mention is. Half your comment implies that Bitcoin has value only because people think it has value, and the other half details legitimate use cases while ignoring them in the next sentence.
That's a very long paper that I'd like to read a bit more carefully. Is there a shroter version, or a summary, somewhere?
I could be wrong, but I think you’re missing the real point here. Wall Street firms are in the business of influencing markets to their favor. When I see Jamie Dimon or MS slamming bitcoin, I assume they’re also readying a big buy in case their statements move the price a little bit lower. That kind of arbitrage is not illegal in bitcoin world (yet). I don’t think you should parse these kinds of statements in earnest. In fact, I think they indicate the opposite of what they say on their face.
One of the big rises in price of Bitcoin was when it appeared the Cyprus banking system may collapse.

Basically, you are talking about "engineering" instead of "science". Not that I'm trying to start a long discussion about definitions or mutual exclusivity, but these kind of "results" are clearly about building something new and showing it works, not proposing a hypothesis about how the natural world works and testing that hypothesis.

We won't. Over 80% of oil we pull out of the ground is burned for energy, and we are switching to alternatives at a rate that should have us fully transitioned before we run out.

And thank god, too. We can only pull up a quarter of our proven reserves before hitting 2 degrees warming (the Paris agreement). We hit 3 degrees warming (where the Pentagon says wars start over food) when we pull up a third of proven reserves.

I work in cleantech, and people used to wonder if oil would die at a high price (due to lack of supply) or low price (due to low demand). Nowadays everyone knows it will die at a low price. Also, here's my favorite climate change joke, "They say we won't act until it's too late...Luckily, it's too late!"

I believe the primary reasoning is that the DoD is focused on national defense and military matters, and veterans care is a very different thing. In practice, the DoD will always prioritize military preparedness over care and benefits for former members of the military. US history (and I assume most history) is filled with examples of neglect of veterans' needs and failure to pay promised benefits in a timely or effective manner, from the Revolutionary War till today.

The actual promotion of Veterans Affairs to a cabinet-level department in 1989 was in fact driven by the perceived need to ensure that more attention was paid to the government agencies that administered benefits that at the time covered a third of all Americans. Of course, whether that works or not depends a lot on Congress's willingness to adequately fund the department and the President's willingness to prioritize the VA over any of the many other priorities they must balance.
Don't compete primarily on cost. It is much more difficult for venture capitalists to provide better service or or a better product than it is for them to provide a cheaper one.

I would still consider it as unsolicited if I didn't opt in to receive further emails. Just because I bought something from a company once doesn't mean I'm happy to receive a "please rate us" begging email, an offer to look at their other products, and a "merry Christmas to all our customers" message. Not really spam in the traditional sense but these type of emails seem especially prevalent at the moment and dealing with them is a big time sink.

At a cost of being the very problem decentralized cryptocurrency was meant to solve.

But a cryptocurrency doesn't have to be designed with a deflationary monetary policy hardcoded. Monero, for example has a steadily decreasing block reward that will bottom out at 0.6 instead of Bitcoin's 0. Ethereum is also designed for a steady increase in supply if I understand correctly.

I can. E.g. recently I’ve picked GLES + NanoVG for the lower level of the stack, and implemented the upper levels (controls, touch input, transitions, etc.) in C#.

There’re higher-level approaches, including a couple of cross-platform ones (Gtk#, Avalonia, electron-based), I’ve picked lower-level stack because I needed to replace the whole Debian desktop including its desktop manager.
You know, I've heard this claim before (that the strategy behind VS Code is to make deploying code to Azure easy), but it never made much sense to me.

I agree. The ridiculous lack of empathy is egregious: it’s easy to whitelist a word (for me based on the single example given in the tweet and ignoring the hideous number of trade names for pharmaceuticals); any competent sysadmin could disable it on the network/is the master image (since I could and I have no experience with the administration or staffing of a medical business so I assume they have plenty of budget available for IT busiwork).

You don’t need to be working at a VC-backed company in the valley to be a tech-bro.
I disagree. Working hard but dumb gets you in the habit of working hard. Now all you have to do is figure out smarter ways of working, which you will have time to figure out because you're a hard worker! That's a much better approach than being lazy and working smart. It's much, much harder to transition from being lazy to being industrious than it is to transition from working dumb to working smart.
