Maybe what follows is naive but wealth is not destroyed when somebody dies, it passes on to heirs. If there isn't an economic boom the share of inherited wealth is going to be larger and larger as time passes. Even succession taxes don't destroy wealth, they distribute it and probably most of it becomes private again (salaries to public servants and private suppliers of public works.)

An extreme example: in Egypt they're making money out of the Pyramids, non inherited businesses (tourism) on the top of inherited public property.

You are talking about private property. Personal property is distinct from private property.
There is no real argument in the article dismantling the White Helmets' play.

I'm hardly an expert, but Germany and Japan are the obvious examples to look for best practices. Really the UK comes off badly compared to most European countries. Worth noting that Abelio (Dutch state-owned) and DB Freight (German state-owned) operate in the UK.

"I believe all European countries are required to have separate track and train operators for railways with some structure for competition in rail."

Not really, in some countries the railway and train operators is the same company, strongly controlled by the government and operating without big problems.

Fundamentally, you don't get Netflix for movies. Maybe that's why you sign up originally but if you don't watch any TV shows, Netflix is probably not worth it for you.

I doubt its catalog is anywhere near the quality of a 2005 Blockbuster for films. Unfortunately, their DVD back catalog is also rotting away to the point where I'll probably end up dropping that subscription at some point.
I think bussiness logic in the database has prevented disasters in the projects I have worked on. I honestly dont see how it could have been solved better...

It probably depends on the domain/problems.

My experience is with
transaction heavy financial systems or similar, with web frontends, microservices sprinkled around in different languages...

The web app or java worker should be allowed to focus in its problems, the bussiness logic needs to live in one central place, which happens to be in the database accessed through thightly controled interface in the form of stored procedures.
> Until then, party on

Indeed. Earlier this year, mid-summer, I got curious about all this, so I decided to start an experiment, uploaded $100 to an exchange and started trading and programming against their API. Today, I am running fully automated bots which are winning, got about $25k in exchanges and cashed out about $15 to my bank account (no problem cashing out btw). That's 40000% in 6 month.

So all of this is absolutely crazy. I don't believe this can go on forever. But until then, yes, party on.

Ha. More like:

ORM: You've just joined a project already using an ORM selected by an 'architect' that no longer works here. Everything is fine until you start testing your system with a database sufficiently populated with real-world data. You and the DBA spend the next next 6 months trying to get the damn ORM to generate performant SQL (you even call Oracle support, which promptly dispatches an "engineer" who tries to sell you on another $500k of crap you don't need that won't really address the problem). You eventually just start writing queries by hand wherever you find a bottleneck caused by the naive ORM, which you could have done at the outset, but no one who actually knew SQL well enough was on the team back then.
One side advice - if you happen to be using a Windows computer, ditch it; get any Linux one, or a Mac if you can afford it. Get used to the shell; learn the basic tools like grep, learn some coreutils; get generally familiar with all things Unix/Linux.

To add to what my sibling says: when you say "before WW2", do you mean the shattered, financially devastated Germany under the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 and the global Depression of 1929, or the industrialized welfare state of 1880-1910?

The brokenness of Germany was not Hitler's doing; rather, its brokenness is what gave Hitler his platform.
Both your analysis and Peter Thiel's are coming from that weird place where becoming filthy rich is the only marker of success, rather than opening a business, building its loyal clientele by offering a valuable service they appreciate, employing people which helps their own lives grow and being able to support your own self from all that.

What the f would Peter Thiel know about the joy derived from feeding someone good food?

Always nice to see competition... But I've been poking around this site for a few minutes and I can't find anything convincing me why I would need or even want to use this. There's no real "getting started" guide. No real sense of what an OvertureJS App looks like or why it's better than existing option.

There's some vague performance comparisons, but I'm not even sure what exactly is being compared. One comparison is to OvertureJS+, but there's zero mention of what that is and how is that different from just plain OvertureJS. Plus any time I see React being compared directly with Angular it's a huge red flag that we're comparing apples to oranges.

I don't know, maybe I"m just hypercritical because it's Monday morning.
Agreed.

But ya, in previous life my job duties included making sure none of my fake subordinates ran into any co-employment issues, such as drinking the free office coffee. We were employed by a staffing company, we 'worked' for the company whose office we sat in, and because they had me to say "do what this guy tells you to do" instead of that guy just telling him what to do, we could still qualify as contractors.
Part of the problem is that you can't have "real" competition, e.g. two train companies can't operate competing franchises on the same line, at the same time. I get terrible service and pay high fares on my Southern Railways route, but I can't opt to use a different carrier without moving house. But if my broadband provider decides to raise their prices by 5% next year, I can move to a different provider with a single phone call and a few minutes of downtime.
I think there’s actually a real risk in bitcoin of a few people controlling all of the wealth which makes it a not very fun game to play for anyone else, and makes it hard to justify it as a payments platform.

This is almost certainly due to Japan’s imbalanced age distribution.

Or eventually your time preference on whatever product you want to buy will exceed whatever bitcoin’s risk-adjusted expected growth rate is, just like happens for literally any other asset class. The idea that people will just never buy things is clearly nonsense if you have a grasp of how pricing and arbitrage work; there’s no such thing as an asset that has such a high risk-free growth rate that no one buys anything else. Any such opportunity gets arbitraged away instantly.

You are also aware of the fact that any bitcoin sale has two sides, yes? For every bitcoin someone is buying, some other person decided the price of bitcoin now pushes it above their risk-adjusted expected growth requirements.

Read about portfolio pricing theory. There are some good lessons there that I think will help you make sense of why it’s silly to worry about a turbo-asset that trumps all other possible purchases.

The hypothetical endgame here is that as bitcoin’s associated risk decreases, its price would rise until its growth rate fell in line with the rest of the market, closer to run-of-the-mill securities or commodities investments. If you believe that a small depreciation is fine, you should probably agree that a small appreciation is fine as well.

In Japan the railway companies (which are pseudo private in the way a lot of things are in Japan) run the railways effectively at or below cost and the profits are made on property development and leasing on the surrounding land.

In the UK the railway companies try to run profits on railway operation while the taxpayer subsidizes them and the surrounding land is owned by property developers who are making profits that are staggering.

The Conservative government is also doing stuff like donating 38 million pounds to govia thameslink in profit compensation for a strike they triggered.

It's taxpayers and passengers subsidizing property developers' and TOC profits, and the government/TOCs seems to be trying to get the TOC wage bills down so that TOCs and property developers can make even more.
Neovim newsletter #8: Open up the Windows
> The answer should be nothing

I don't think the answer is nothing. And there's also a very different dynamic you're proposing in your comment. If I were to go in and buy every BTC out there - the price would probably double/quadruple/whatever... in a short time ('cause its bitcoin!).

If all BTC holders collectively decide to sell, however, the price would most probably collapse. The "value" of bitcoin - or any security for that matter - is determined by the marginal buyer or seller. He or she is the last person to set the price.

There is inherent value in bitcoin. Just like Apple sells phones and other things of value, bitcoin was created for some reasons that you can attach a value to ... I think those initial reasons are not what bitcoin stands for today - which is really a store of wealth. So maybe that is why people are incredulous that this thing has any value at all.
> strategy by the kleptocrats. But maybe it's just chaos.

Maybe it's just advertizing?

Someone want's to make you buy a product that makes you more "more". More manly, more womanly, more better looking, more money. News and TV wants to make you more engaged, if that is by telling you more lies, or making you more angry they will do it, so you watch more ads.
This whole thing sound like a leftist twist on the right-wing Soros conspiracy theory.
A lot of people in the world are thought to identify with their nationality and believe their society to have good ethical and moral qualities. In an us-versus-them worldview that means somebody else has to be the bad guy.

Not surprisingly, the mere though of your government kidnapping and torturing innocents or taking part of genocides is deeply traumatizing.

Denial, distrust or anger directed to people exposing terrible facts is to be expected.

(I'm not referring to the US specifically. This patterns of denial seemed to be common under nazism in Germany where a lot of people refused to believe the magnitude of atrocities committed by their government)

Clever to start out with a greyscale image! But it still poses some constraints, let's say if we start with an all black image for an edge case to demonstrate the limitations, we can only have a 2D pattern in the 3D space, right?

However the luminance component of the image could probably be adjusted within certain error margins and vice versa. Perhaps by some form of bruteforce!

To know for sure I suppose coding is needed!
Is there a way to verify this somehow? One of the biggest issues in the Bitcoin space seems to be counter party risk with the exchanges.

How do large Bitcoin traders price that risk? With most modern financial exchanges the accounts are open, audited and they’ve had a long time to generate trust with their members so pricing the counter party risk is straight forward.

I downvoted you because you relied on an analogy to train and subway infrastructure instead of looking at existing municipal broadband plans that have existed for more than "a few years."

For example, the municipal broadband in Wilson, NC, was grandfathered in because it existed before the NC state legislature wrote a law to prevent municipal broadband. It's existed for around 10 years. Rather than being stagnant, that plan delivers some of the fastest internet in the country with reportedly easy setup and decent pricing.

If you had made your argument citing municipal broadband plans in the U.S. which give worse-than-average speeds and pricing, I wouldn't have downvoted you.

I'm waiting for Intel to divest of either the arch/micro-arch business or the fab business. They can invest in one or the other, but what is crippling them is having to invest in both simultaneously. I can definitely see them doing something like HP and split off into Intel-Fab and just Intel. Would enable the arch/micro-arch to use all the fabs and allow the fab to focus on what it does best, processes research and development. Intel already fabs chips for other people (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeanbaptiste/2013/10/29/exclusi...) why not expand that relationship to maximize their profits/capacity.
