Bitcoin is an early stage technology that still hasn't solved its scaling problem.

Bitcoin is also not governed as a product, so incremental scaling improvements are left for the user to use, and not to forced by protocol.

Bitcoin is currently not usable as currency, and is of course, not store of wealth - thing is not a liquid asset at all.

Proposed scaling solutions were scientific research years ago, and research is still being done. The implementation obviously takes years to finetune and the scaling solution might not work as well as research predicted.

All other coins are early stage tech and research too.

People were enjoying the tech when it was less popular and seemed like magic, now when big numbers come into play it is obvious things where blown out of proportion way too early.
Just for clarity, these actions are illegal. Also, Coinbase has to get SEC approval to list all coins. We don’t know the exact agreement but the SEC will definitely be looking to stamp someone for market manipulation here. Coinbase isn’t immune to the actions here.
Let's estimate it out.

http://www.loopnet.com/california/san-francisco_apartment-bu...

2950 21st Street is 4900 square feet and costs $3M. Right now it's 4 x 1200 square foot apartments, which go for about $45/square foot. Yowzers, that's $4500/month.

Let's say you take each of the two floors and remodel them: two full bathrooms designed for shared tenancy, each coffin takes up 8 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet and you stack them two high, with 8 sqft of hallway and such added in. That's 48 sqft per coffin stack, so with perfect layout you get 100 coffin stacks. But you need room for bathrooms for 80+ people, and that means 8 stalls, 8 sinks, and 8 shower cubicles, taking up about 20% of the space. OK, your max occupancy is 80 where it used to be 16.

The good news: you can charge as little as $250/month. If you spend enough on insulation you won't need to spend much on heat in the winter, but ventilation is going to be a problem.

Nobody gets a parking space.

Lice will be a problem.

Cockroaches will be a problem.

However, the issue that will get you the status of first slumlord to be sentenced to life in prison is fire safety.
You can always still work (job, contract, consulting, etc) even if you're "soft retired." It's just that you have a lot more freedom in the selection, and you can pursue things that carry more personal fulfillment than MegaCorp job with lots of responsibilities.

As for living frugally: Don't live _in_ SF. For a short BART or Caltrain ride, you can live in a $1500/mo. apartment that is beautiful.

They printed a lot of fiat money without loaning it to people that can produce goods. The result is not enough loan pressure to "buy" the fiat papers over goods. On the good side, I guess they have some enforcement and a lot of violence :(

A limited supply coin does not guaranty a need to exchange goods over that particular coin and not another.
yeah, clearly these people are just whiners and shouldnt have any issue paying $4000 a month in rent for a single room appartment.
> let's let the author try to convince you that NPS is a harmful, horrible number to summarize a company's performance on.

None of your arguments here are based on data. Do you have some evidence that a measured NPS score proved that the metric is bad? The WP link you posted to criticisms is all arguing relative merits. None of them are particularly strongly opposed, and none claimed that NPS doesn't work.

> The author would also tell you that NPS is easily gamed

Do you have data showing NPS scores being gamed?

Easily gamed and actually gamed are two completely different things. Having tried to measure NPS before, I found that 0 people appeared to be gaming the system, my customers told me honestly that my product was mediocre.

To suspect that the polls are being gamed, you assume there's something in it for the respondent, right? What benefit do you think there is for respondents to answer dishonestly?

> In other words, the author believes if executives want a simple metric that is better than NPS, a random number generator is the fastest and cheapest way to achieve it.

I hate to say it, but this kind of hyperbolic statement is having the opposite of the intended affect, it's reflecting on the author.

Here's something they wrote on the omise_go sub reddit:

"We're looking to build the thing that will finally change the way money is handled the whole world over for the better, and leave a legacy that can sustain itself through all kinds of social and cultural changes. We're looking at accomplishing the spirit of the original Nakamoto vision of Bitcoin, the original Ripple vision (pre-blockchain Ripplepay), the original Paypal vision."

Which sounds a bit f-society ;) but, never the less, I think they have a plan that is not completely implausable.

A $250 phone is plenty able to take a legible photo of an A4 text document.

I don't think the op had something else in mind. IME it's a strangely widespread misunderstanding that https encrypts just parts of the http request. I think it's because of the advice to not put sensitive data in urls. The reason for that is due to logging at the endpoint, but it's misunderstood that it's not encrypted. It's funny because it's so easy to test the hypothesis, and it's hard to even propose a reason it would be that way.
I don't think this a left/right or liberal/conservative issue. People with high incomes of every political leaning think they deserve their high incomes and like to pay the rest as little as possible.

When I as an academic I used to run extra classes at lunch time for the keen students covering topics that I thought the students needed to learn about, but for which we didn't have time in class. Theses topics were not covered in the exam so only those students interested in learning came.

As for those students that don't have the prerequistes or the motivation to do the work to catch up, you fail as many as the university will allow and then scale up the class mark so the rest pass. At my university I couldn't fail more than 3% or 4%, but in some classes more than half really failed.

I expect these to show up in cheap/unbranded Chinese phones first, where for the longest time you could get one with a full complement of sensors, removable storage, dual SIM, removable battery, and other useful functionality like a headphone jack, for a fraction of the price of the bigger brands --- some with even fewer features. They were basically all cosmetic variations on the Mediatek reference design.

Now it seems even those "generic" brands are trying to "differentiate" by removing features, but it's unlikely they would try to do that with combo sensor modules like this.
This is just a chip with the analog functionality, AFAIK the analysis is still done in software.
It seems clear to many that pure capitalism is just the least terrible of systems we have used to build societies.

You are misunderstanding the wholesale price that the utility companies pays with the price they ultimately charge the consumer. For the consumers, the electricity was not free nor negative. They were charged their regular rate.

But yes, negative prices incentivize large scale batteries or other ways to make the supply and demand match up better.

In fact it's pre-pre-descessor was perfectly fine for that task. I was using it extensively for just that purpose.

These expensive phones are luxury devices with almost no added utility. A few milliseconds of delay can make a big difference in how a device feels, and be expensive to get rid off, but they don't fundamentally alter what you can do with the device.

Imagine your annual income is $200k, and you expect your iPhone X to last 2 years. Imagine you're very busy with work and parenting, and it's very valuable to you to be able to take high quality pictures of your baby and share them with family and friends. A smartphone is the most convenient way to do that. A smartphone that costs ~$1000 takes much better pictures, and faster shutter response, than a smartphone that costs $250.

Is the iPhone X worth an extra $375 per year for the person described above? Of course.

Does it need to provide 4x the utility to be worth 4x the price? No. The marginal utility just needs to be cost-effective, vs. the other ways to 'buy' utility with the same amount of money.
"I'm sure Apple made a complex assessment to determine 30% as 'optimal'."

Given that they've never actually run any large scale tests of the effect of different rates, it's probably safer to say this is a number that just 'feels right' - it doesn't look 'too greedy' up front, but isn't too low that shareholders might think they're leaving money on the table.

Dropping it to 22 or 25% for a couple of years would give some real numbers as to what the true impact would be. Even if the numbers were studied years ago, the current behaviour and ecosystem would be different.

As an apple shareholder, I would prefer that they explore other rates and then demonstrate that this is the best one.
I recently moved out to Silicon Valley and it’s shocking to me how depressed the area looks. All the housing is cheap, ugly 70s/80s era architecture. Much of that is poorly maintained. Most retail storefronts are about the same. Add in all the poverty and homeless and I’m betting it would be impossible for any visitor to tell there was an economic boom unrivaled in all of civilization happening. Consider Venice in the 14-16th centuries, Amsterdam in the 17th century, London in the 18-19th centuries, New York in the early 20th century. SV is not building anything people are going to want to come see 400 years from now. It’s amazing how people there are happy to let people suffer to protect nothing special at all.
The people in this scenario aren't poor. They simply can't find living arrangements that meet their requirements.

It sounds like an oxymoron. Given the meaning of hacking today it seems a computer by definition is hackable - if you can't hack it what's the point? There's surely some mathematical way to prove that the usefulness of a computing system declines in proportion to it's hackability, such that the least hackable system resembles more or less a rock.

> Homeschooled kids as a cohort do very well compared to kids in the public system.

The problem are those that fail miserably because their parents are rednecks with a deep trust towards the state combined with a fanaticism towards the Bible. They get overlooked when one only looks at the cohort/average.

> And what do you mean teach by religious rules?

Kids homeschooled (or, even worse, religiously schooled) by religious sects of any color: Jehovahs Witnesses, Twelve Tribes (these caused a major child abuse scandal in Germany a couple years ago), Amish, ultraorthodox Jews, salafist Muslims, Scientology or whatever. Basically, anything ranging from "you must not see kids of other faiths/gender", "you must not interact with kids being homosexual/non-cisheterosexual" to "you decide to leave our sect, you're dead to your family".

Or, in Amish (or similar) communities: the kids actually never interact with normal kids and experience freedom. With state mandated schools, the parents cannot withhold that experience from the kids.

Too Many PhD Graduates or Too Few Academic Job Openings (2013)
Very well said. This city drains me of what little energy I have left.
My own anecdote; 12 years of Catholic School, graduated HS in early 90s.

In my Freshman year of High School, the English teacher gave us a grammar test on the first day to see where we were. Two people passed [including me--I got one question wrong], but the bulk of the students failed.

I remember being surprised that so many of my long-time classmates could fail the test.

Consequently the teacher spent the first half of the year on grammar issues instead of other literary pursuits.

The fundamental problem is that the US teenager has too much homework. You can like cut it in half and it won’t make a difference (look at like Finland). The gained time can be then spent on hacking and exploration.
I would caution against using this pattern. In particular, this does not scale to:

class A {};
class B : public A {};
class C : public B {};

Using the convention of defining `base_type` in the base class means that C will expect B to define `base_type`, which means that B will be cut off from A's `base_type`. This then forces you to use different identifiers, which brings you back to square one (you might as well just explicitly write out the class in that case).
> And they systematically let people graduate from high school in this pathetic state?

You're being nasty. There's nothing pathetic about recognizing that almost everyone experiences limits in their cognition. If you don't, then that must be very nice.

Perhaps you misunderstood. People can understand a sentence with a few levels of negation, quantification, embedded clauses, but not too many. And sentences in math are often more complex than sentences in casual speech. You made a bold claim that math syntax is equivalent to natural language syntax, and I am demonstrating why that claim is wrong, or at best not relevant to coloring math expressions. I understand you are claiming they are formally be the same (who knows, since no one has completely formalized "The Math Language" or probably any natural language, but I understand your point in the context of baby first order logic syntax). And I am claiming that that doesn't matter.

> I'm arguing against highlighting the syntax of English sentences and math formulas just because some people...

No one is saying you should colorize every textbook or every anything, so I don't understand what you are arguing.

> You can do it with your brain.

Yeah, and you need to feed your brain some input. There are lots of ways you can encode the same information. If you suddenly no longer had vision, someone could read to you unambiguously every math expression you needed, but I bet you're going to suffer a hit in your math performance. Despite using your brain.

> Um, wat. Operating on a number doesn't require thinking of the word you use for that number.

Obviously. A computer operates on a number without having a "word" for a number. (Well...). And some humans are better at being computers than other humans. That's not responding to my point that shows that people must be thinking about words, because you can measure delays when the words aren't very good, like the number words in German or French. Yeah, I agree it's "Um, wat" in an interesting way, but I fear you're just dismissing it.
