I ignored all the warnings about Coinbase at my own peril.

I tried to move my coins out of the exchange about 48 hours ago (shortly before the crash) but I made the mistake of purchasing a new phone about a week ago and not switching over my 2FA keys in Google Authenticator.

They have an account recovery process in place but it takes "48-72 hours" to complete. I had to re-submit my ID, which was confirmed as verified, but now I just have to sit around and pray that they come through and the process is completed over a holiday weekend.

Obviously partially my fault for not transferring my 2FA keys, but with all the stories of customer service being unresponsive for weeks, I'm not holding my breath.
Life could be worse. Imagine how Mcafee will have to eat his own dick at this rate.

Two cynical explanations spring to mind.

1) Those genetically programmed to believe in free will might also genetically programmed to be more optimistic and work harder.

2) People who believe in free will have not yet run into their limitations. This would imply that they have not yet run into systemic situations where their energy or mental capacities have been overtasked, meaning they are healthy people who can handle things. This experience, of course, makes them optimistic about their future. They still believe they can accomplish anything they set their mind to.

Conversely, it might be that people who do not believe in free will think that way because they have experienced running into the limitations of their own brain and willpower. That is immensely discouraging, which of course dampens optimism. And if they have already hit that brick wall, then they are not so very healthy and in fact are reasonable to be less optimistic about their future and likely to not perform as well as their healthier colleagues.
That's what most US cities do, too. Chicago has some all-night rail service, but it's mostly just buses, for instance.

But in NYC, an advisory group suggested that recently, and people hated the idea. The problem is traffic can be heavy even after hours, especially on the weekends, so buses would be a lot slower. Lots of people rely on the subway at all hours of the night.

Also do you also refuse to use RPM based distros due to dependency hell?

Also GOOD NEWS ATI is dead, it wasn't AMD that manufactured the Card or the Drivers! It was a company called ATI based in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Technologies

AMD bought them 2006 and killed ATI brand 3 years later. Also I bet you only a handful of people actually still work on the technology.
I asked this same question[0] on StackExchange earlier this year. It has been asked many times and it really comes down to considering a username a secret or not.

In B2B applications where there is no registration form, then the username is probably a secret. In B2C applications where anyone can register, then the username likely isn't a secret. Many of those applications have the concept of "mentions" by username so clearly the username is not considered a secret in that case.

Right on. I had major SI problems until I got injections. The next day the pain was completely gone. Once I had no pain I learned exercises and have been pain-free for two years now.
What fishy thing happened re: the bitcoin cash rollout? I know there is speculation of insider trading from individuals at the company but was there anything the company itself did that’s sketchy? They said BCH was coming after the fork and then they delivered it as far as I can tell.

> Simply making a new cryptocurrency is exactly the same as making a new company, or a new facebook, or a new toyota, or a new anything.

No, it isn't at all similar, because business are specialized entities with specific properties that cannot be easily replicated, unlike a crypto-token ledger which can be instantly and effortlessly replicated with identical qualities and capabilities at near zero cost.

> So is the pile of scamcoins and poorly thought out implementations that have already collapsed within months of their creation

The critical distinction that you're not seeing is the fact that it costs nothing to create a scamcoin unlike a business which can cost the creator everything if it fails. You're also ignoring the fact that a business has to effectively serve the market for it to even be comparable to a competitor, you can't just incorporate a business, buy a bunch of ads and start pulling in money, you need to actually do something that generates wealth, unlike crypto-token ledgers which require nothing except for people to run the code.
Sounds like gatekeeping. This isn't uncommon, I've done a fair amount of day trading and I've invested in many companies that I know nothing about aside from the numbers look good. They have healthy financials or it's a pharma company about to get a patent (protip: I know nothing about how they make it or any of the chemistry). That's how people are approaching this and it's/was growing. Now, I would say this is similar to betting on a penny stock that could basically go bankrupt the next day. I've received those letters, fun stuff but it's a gamble. Don't treat it as a 401k or a saving account, it's not. It's speculative 100%.
Fluid dynamicist here. At the risk of looking like a heretic, I am willing to say that I don't think the NS Millennium Prize problem and related things will end up being very useful practically.

I can't see how a definitive answer to the question will result in better turbulence modeling, which is what matters from a practical point of view. If it turns out that the solutions are not unique then we could probably find an additional condition to add (e.g., the entropy condition) to make the solutions unique. If the solutions are unique, bounded, etc. then that's great and it would have no impact practically speaking aside from perhaps helping the reputation NS has for accuracy. Some people seem to think that solving the NS Millennium Prize problem would likely lead to a solution for the turbulence problem, but as I said, I can't see how. I'd be interested if anyone could explain this belief better.

There may be other benefits. I've found papers that find bounds on different fluid dynamics quantities to be interesting, and the motivation for these studies are the NS problem from what I understand. Unfortunately the results from these papers tend to be less useful than bounds I can derive specifically for applications myself.

(In a nutshell the turbulence problem is that NS has far too high a computational cost/complexity to be used in practical simulations. So cheaper approximations to NS are used, which you can cladsify as "turbulence models". How steep the drop-off in accuracy is as you reduce complexity is an open question. My opinion is that fluids probably require high computational cost for accuracy a-priori. Things like correlations from experiments can get around this as you are using pre-computed results, and that may be what we should go for in my philosophy.)

Borrowing at 20% APR is stupid. Did you think it would end up at $XXk without any corrections along the way?

That said, look back next year and perhaps things won't be as gloomy as they are today.

Edit: I can't believe I'm saying this, but you might want to look at refinancing that debt using a credit card. Their APR tends to be around 10 to 13% per annum. Might as well limit the damage done.

As another person said, that would damage the reputation of the network.

It reminded me of how in the movies a group of bad guys get away with the big briefcase of money and then two of them plan to get rid of the third guy and split the rest between themselves.
Education is in a bubble of its own at the moment, partly because it's fun out of proportion to its economic value. We're churning out PhDs who then have nothing to do. "Innovation" tax incentives reward companies for registering patents, but if patents ever did reflect innovation that's long since fallen to Goodhart's law.

Infrastructure investment is usually a good idea; so is direct government funding of real research, the kind that NIH or DARPA put out. But if, as the article claims, the biggest issue is the number of people in the labour force, then the best way to improve growth would be to ensure more people can participate in the labour force. That means encouraging things like public transport and flexible working hours, and finding a way to square our current approach to unemployment and medical insurance with the so-called gig economy (i.e. people working multiple part-time jobs). That would be win-win, and is unquestionably the government's area of responsibility.
If a US company is paid in euros or gold it still needs to pay taxes in dollars. Further, property taxes for example are independent of your income stream. As owning land creates a liability, but land in no way creates money from thin air.

People do transactions in USD specifically because they need to pay taxes in USD not the other way around. Thus, these transactions are simply a multiplayer on top of the Tax demand.

“If there are no consequences, then the world is seriously broken.“

The world is broken when people make 100’s of millions of dollars and spend it on villas, expensive art, dining, etc while others work their asses off just to scrape by on a meager existence.

Boo fucking hoo they lost millions to a scammer when that doesn’t even near bankrupt them. Imagine losing millions and just going on living the same lifestyle...
All coins are dropping not just those 4. This is just history repeating itself. I'm sure it will upset people who are currently losing a lot of money right now, but you'd have to be blind to not see this coming. Investing any significant amount in the last week has been highly foolish.
Are you sure of that? In many ways bank regulation has achieved exactly that. We have an SEC, we have mandatory filings, we have disclosure requirements, conflict of interest requirements, bank capital requirements, stress tests, and many rules about types of financial products which cannot be sold. Those create much more uniformity and trust in the system. (of course this comes with some cost, but, arguably the thing lost in the system is volatility more than anything else).

What goes up must come down. Cryptocurrencies have no real economic value other than whatever people think they should be worth (which is interesting by itself). Once people stop believing the emperors not just naked then everyone will see him that way.
Is this a joke? You can't be serious
That would be rational. I am assuming that even in a post-apocalyptic scenario, people will not be rational. I imagine people being willing to pay an awful lot for the experience of tasting M&Ms again and for a few brief moments being able to pretend that everything is just like it used to be.

Though now that you point it out, maybe I would rather buy rice and beans so that I could be more useful to people, rather than just maximizing profit. Or better yet, stock up on both kinds of goods.
Thanks for sharing your perspective: good food for thought there.
As a 46 year old, 25 year tech veteran, white dude, holding C-positions numerous times, I think what it indicates is that the first hire of certain kinds of positions aren't likely to go to people like me anymore. It closes doors all around, to people of a given demographic.

These things swing to extremes, but harm will come to some. There are still good candidates out there with mortgages, families, etc.

I'm self-employed now and don't expect to ever put myself into someone else's employ (that's my tip to everyone else in the 40+ camp... entrepreneurialism isn't a groovy lifestyle choice, it's the offensive measure to secure your future --- business startup and continuity risks notwithstanding), but the "we need diversity" bell is now mine to ring. That said, I used to dream of creating a startup, building a team, growing a business --- now the dream is zero employees. It's me and my (life) partner, and we won't take on employees if we can help it.
I wish -coin and crypto- articles/posts would stay away from HN.
USD aren't valuable because they have a fundamental value, either. Personally, I think the "you have to pay taxes in USD" argument is stupid; it doesn't factor into my daily thinking and I doubt it does to many other people's.

They're valuable because literally everyone I interact with treats them as if they were valuable. If that changed, I'm sure USD would quickly become worthless.

You can say there's no difference between USD and BTC, but there's some difference between "a million people think they have value" and "three billion people think they have value".
I hope this study don't revive the trend of standing desks again. Look I know being sedentary will rob me a few years of life, but going full opposite and being stand 9 to 5 it's Dante inferno at work.
Probably the best balance will be having a routine with exercise present, and small breaks to stand and walk a little bit at X minutes sitting.
With Galileo coming online, you can get sub-centimetre position resolution, which would enable you to clearly identify riders misplacing bikes.

In regards to bikes being picked up and moved, a simple alarm might help. But I really doubt that there would be much vandalism against parked bikes that don't get in the way. After all the streets are full of parked bikes, and vandalism is quite rare.

(Yes, I have seen plenty of bikes with parts missing or bent wheels. But these usually remain in place for years, based on my observations, skewing superficial impressions. I've parked my bike on public streets for years, and the only thing that ever happened was my fancy saddle once being stolen.)
Depends on where you live -- going through a tunnel or over a bridge adds significantly to the odds of encountering delays. Even if you live near one of the first few stops in Queens or Brooklyn you're dealing with disproportionally higher average travel time.

I hope this is a joke or sarcasm. But if not, you should definitely not invest money that's not your's, no matter what you think you will miss out on. As you know that's part of the investing 101.

But on the brighter side, there are far too many people involved for this to go full bust, the tech is solid, there's more and more exchanges launching associated products(bitcoin futures), Goldman is launching a full trading desk.

It's a thing now, just don't sell it yet and HODL. I hope you at least get your money back.
Wow, thats not a bandwidth to host from aws! thanx!
I'd certainly agree that at least in the US, regulation has greatly increased banking transparency.

There are still edge cases, but capital ratio requirements and accounting standards, compared to none? Huge difference.
So, it looks like Bitcoin's price hasn't dropped as far (percentage-wise) than the others - any ideas on why that is?
Maybe you could find their equivalent - ask if they would be okay with waiting 5 minutes after changing an Excel file before seeing the results, or having to wait 5 minutes to see if an email actually sent.
There definitely was a virtual world craze, with tons of VC money, the like of IBM investing, and Second Life clones popping up left, right and middle. Putting "Virtual World" in your pitch was a near-guarantee of raising funds. Gartner was predicting that "80 Percent of Active Internet Users Will Have A "Second Life" in the Virtual World by the End of 2011" [1]

And yet here we are.

It's easy to dismiss in hindsight. If crypto-currencies turn out a fad it will have been so easy to predict that people will wonder how anyone could be tricked into buying. And if it eventually succeed, people will wonder why anyone could be this stupid not to have invested, since success was so obvious.

The problem with legal movies are DRM, vendor/device lock-in, forced ads, regional policies etc.

You can just download a pirated movie as a plain MP4/MKV/AVI file in the language you want (not necessarily the official language of your region) and the quality you want (some people like 30+ gib HDs, many prefer 5 of less gib per movie) and play it forever everywhere, including unsupported platforms (namely huge number of TVs and no-name set-top-boxes with USB ports, old PCs with exotic OSes etc). This (besides visiting cinemas, these 2 things don't really affect each other, people often do both for the same movie) is what almost everybody does in the eastern Europe. People don't really mind to pay some bucks for a movie/song/book/etc. but nobody in sane mind wants the crap I've mentioned in the first paragraph. Sell plain DRM-free standard-format multilingual downloadable files for humble prices (under $5 per movie) and you'll have almost all the audience pirate sites attract.

Bitcoin has immense economics value. There's no other asset on the planet that allows me to put my faith in logic and mathematics instead of a person or institution.

Meanwhile, there's a lot of people putting their faith in opaque corporations and unelected central bankers. With the markets sitting at all time highs by every historical measure and debt loads higher than ever it'll be interested to see how that works out for them.

It's not just having trouble. The capacity the city requires is far beyond what it's currently running at. Meeting current demand would've meant planning for it two decades ago.

Anyone who lives here will tell you that the subway is wildly unreliable. Huge time gaps between trains, train cars that are dangerously overcrowded, random line shutdowns, local trains randomly going express and vice versa, straight up train direction reversals, "signal problems", "mechanical issues", sick passengers who can't get medical help because there's no medical staff in that station, "police investigations", etc are all part of daily life here.
Increasing the blocksize will never realistically bring a Bitcoin-like network to the truly global scale of say Visa or MasterCard. Many people think that other technical solutions are needed, and that only they can work. These people are broadcasting their choice through the markets and the price of each coin.

Bcash has increased the blocksize (and forked), which is a perfectly valid solution for such a task, in terms of how a cryptocurrency should be governed: no wars, no lawsuits, if some users don't think a certain decision is valid, they are free to fork off their own chain. No one stopped them, no one tried to shut them down.
But the market will ultimately show what is a good solution and what is a bad solution.
And you can already see what the market decided in terms of the decision of increasing the block size - by comparing Bitcoin market cap to Bcash market cap.
