As one of those Millennials who has kids, I can tell you the push to the suburbs is mainly due to the supply of houses and the prices in cities not because they offer any better quality of living. From everyone I have talked to they would prefer not to be in the suburbs, but because for the past 60 years that is where we built all the houses for families there isn't much of an option. Take a look at housing prices for three bedroom houses and notice how big of a drop in price there is once you get outside the city. People aren't moving to the suburbs because they are better, they are moving there because that's the only thing they can afford. Developers have no incentive to build family sized houses in the city as its cuts into their profits and after decades of family flight to the suburbs there is no one on city councils to actually make zoning laws to accommodate what people want.
Satoshi did mention it elsewhere:

>The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.

Even the whitepaper has a bit about the weaknesses in financial institutions in the intro: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
You can take it how you like. I'm simply stating the obvious.

But this particular variation "you're a hypocrite for spending energy on X when there's so much Y in the world" argument was weak when it was first trotted out and hasn't aged well. Worse, the argument is an irrelevant red-herring when talking about choices an individual makes about their own reactions to their own rights being encroached in day to day life. Nobody complains that someone who fights back at being mugged isn't also fighting spousal abuse in $far_away_land.
Hot or warm spices? It's a language-weirding in itself that the quality of having spices means that something is hot. Plenty of spices (most, really?) aren't hot.

Too many places, especially in Europe, fail at making spicy food, they just make burning hot (or bland) food.

Hey! I definitely agree that accountability is important. How do we improve accountability though? I'm skeptical about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency doing so.

From what I know about the financial crisis, it wasn't the nature of fiat currencies that led to the crisis, but rather the complexity of financial instruments obscuring the weakness of underlying mortgage assets combined with incentives driving industry players that turned out to be toxic in the long term.

It doesn't seem to me that a distributed currency will eliminate financial complexity or perverse incentives.

But as an aside, I remember laughing about Dogecoin with friends back in 2014 when we first discovered it. It must feel awesome to have created something people around the world know about.

I quite like the Jetbrains vim emulation (Ideavim). It has a few quirks I run into every once in a while, but I find the combination of Jetbrains + Ideavim worlds better than my highly customized vim install when coding on a non-trivial project.

However, if all I need is a text editor, such as when hacking out a script or two or doing actual writing, then it's terminal vim all day long.
The point of cryptocurrencies is to rediscover everything we already know about money, the hard way
That you didn't even know that Lynn and Vanhanen's research have been debunked means it is useless wasting time on you. Because if you were really interested in the topic of IQ and genetics you would have known that already! That kind of selective understanding is the hallmark of alt-righters everywhere.

The book The Bell Curve that you references doesn't make any definite inferences regarding IQ and race. It does not claim that IQ differences between races do exist. I know your defense is that you are not "actually" claiming that blacks are inferior intellectually to whites, you are "merely" asking the questions. Which is a bullshit defense since your questions are based upon faulty research that you have accepted without even doing the most basic research.

> What? That's not what I was saying at all. We are talking about the inequality between races. There is an overrepresentation of black people in the most popular professional sports in the US

There is an over representation of tall people too. There is an over representation of men... If you think I'm being hostile, it is because your arguments are so incredibly lame. I'm not a geneticist, but even I can refute them without much effort just by reading a few Wikipedia articles. Like why even reference The Bell Curve when that book was written a quarter of a century ago? It tells us nothing about modern genetic research.

Edit: You can have the last word if you want -- I'm not going to reply. I'm not interested in debating IQ and race. My reason for replying in the first place was to show that it is not true that people with your opinions are being downvoted/ignored/silenced/censured/disrespected/shunned by the media or whatever. There is no global SJW conspiracy. It's just that this "blacks have low IQ" trope have been pushed a whole lot. Try googling for "hacker news iq race" to see for yourself. It gets boring beating a dead horse.
What would they say about that? That there are more democrats in their state so the majority rules?
I'd like to know how you do that with capslock, too :D
While it is possible to track transactions on bitcoin, there are privacy coins such as Monero.

I don’t see how they can control that except complete ban of exchange between fiat and crypto.
I agree completely with the outrage being a product of people propping up denial of their own dissatisfaction with their decisions. Though I am biased having gone through the homophobic denial thing myself, it seems to be a very common pattern, and can only really only be addressed by society not signally so strongly that everyone "should" be a certain way.
Bringing a New HPC File System to Bear
A human can come up with a system to help them record hidden pine seed locations or random numbers fairly easily though - marks in the ground or paper and pencil, for example. You'd have a huge challenge getting even the cleverest non-human animal to even use such a system, let alone invent one.

Human level of intelligence is clearly far greater unless you impose some very arbitrary restrictions on human abilities so they can be beaten by some very specific animal abilities.

The Effect of CryptoKitties
FWIW, there's a plausible argument to be made that the 2008 crisis was aided (although not fundamentally caused) by excessively loose monetary policy in the mid/early-2000s, followed by sharp tightening.

That isn't to say the mortgage industry wasn't propped up on fraud, etc. But it wasn't irrelevant.
I have a very weak grasp of music theory and write a lot of music generators based on that weak grasp. They are mostly successful, compared to my prose generators.

It's not so much that I'm overestimating music theory, but that the state of really concrete analytic structures in other arts (in terms of being well-positioned to produce new works from PRNG output) is pretty bad.

It's pretty straightforward to construct a program that produces mediocre music that really resembles human-written mediocre music. Computers are also really good at producing poetry that is indistinguishable from the work of mediocre human poets. Computers are not good at producing images that look like they were hand-drawn by a 12 year old Deviantart user or producing stories that read like they were taken from fanfiction.net
That is certainly Matt Levine's take, as well.

It is kind of funny, actually. Engineers rediscovering by doing, and wall street having these existential self-doubts about whether there is some hidden sophistication which is entirely absent.
I'm really hoping they'll choose southern NH, where I live. You get most of the advantages of Boston, somewhat lower cost of living, and an opposite commute from what typically happens now. I'm not interested in working for Amazon and would like to leave the area, so it would make it easier to sell my house...
That's pretty much the same "but it only happens to a small fraction of people so it's okay" deflection argument that you can say about the US policy as well, which you called "draconian".

I'm sure it would if the conflict cannot be resolved, i.e. both the immigration officials and the boss are unwilling to accommodate the other requirement. Missing one's first day of work generally looks bad though, and trying to avoid that if possible is reasonable.

Attempting to reschedule an immigration interview doesn't strike me as unreasonable, nor does escalating to a supervisor if you don't like the answer you got. The employee calling security, on the other hand strikes me as abusive. I think that employee should be fired and probably not given a position of authority where they can mistreat others that way again in the future.
Nice to see they’re being so transparent about setting the record straight. Mistakes like this happen in the journalism business, but few outlets make a serious effort correct misreporting beyond burying corrections where nobody sees them.
TBH, and I say this as a pretty staunch atheist, Jesus sounds like he had a lot of his shit sorted. Most of what I've read about him is just him being fair and advocating respect of everyone involved.

Making it legal means that the illegal growers of today can be pushed out of the market by law-abiding growers.

The only reason that a rinky-dink illegal pot growing operation is lucrative today is that it's illegal and most people aren't willing to take the associated personal risks.
How about remorse? Perhaps even that is not the appropriate word here, but do you believe there are any circumstances in life where grief is a natural and even healthy response? If so, why not this circumstance?

I would suggest that if you encounter a situation in life where there's genuine remorse for a choice you've made, there aren't only two options of "celebrate your regret" or "suck it up." There's such a thing as honoring pain without dwelling on it, and if done properly, it actually enables your growth in a way that's healthy for both you and the world. And if so, perhaps it's okay for the world to learn from your growth.

Until you trade BTC away from their system, that's what hosted wallets eg, Coinbase, actually look like internally. There's a veneer of the BTC being "yours" but that was just a row in Coinbase's database rather than being live on the blockchain.

It's a good one thats already been implemented behind the scenes.
Bcash is a hostile hardfork, and sadly Coinbase and Brian Armstrong have decided to go along for the ride. If you check Brian's personal Twitter account, and the tweets he's been 'liking', you can see this quite plainly. It's pretty sad that he's in business with the likes of Roger Ver, a convicted felon.

I wonder how Coinbase employees feel about it?
It's not that off-topic. It's really bizarre in this context; it's the kind of appeal to "ethos" that you see in all sorts of B2B marketing.
It's about enabling a backdoor of sorts in your laptop behind your back.

It is typical for 64 bit machines to have a direct mapping of physical memory at some virtual offset. Ie, virtual 0xfffff...700000 corresponds to 0x0 physical. This simplifies some things since you can allocate and access any physical page without creating new mapping.

32 bit machines do not typically have sufficient kernel address space to do the same.

(Oh, linux still uses direct map on 32 bit machines even today, but only maps some memory? I thought that was abandoned, but wouldn't really know. Anyway, a much better explanation of all things direct map is https://www.sceen.net/mapping-physical-memory-directly/)

They "give a shit" but at the same time pollute a thousand times more (per capita). So one less American and one more Indian is a net positive for our green earth.
As others have already said, if you're a programmer, please just read the original papers:

https://meltdownattack.com/meltdown.pdf (start with this one)

https://spectreattack.com/spectre.pdf

They are extremely well written, clear and to the point. Understanding them will take you less time than trying to get rid of all the tortured analogies and unnecessary simplifications people have been trying to make up over the past week. It's bad enough that we face the daunting task of explaining this stuff to people who don't care about computers, there's no need to perpetuate misunderstanding among those who deal with computers for a living. Just read the real thing.

And on the subject of explaining this to others, it might surprise you how far you can get if you try to honestly explain how the attacks work. I refuse to use the silly train station metaphors, so I tried to describe the basic idea of how speculative execution works in out of order CPUs to my parents (who can browse the Internet, with some effort, and were patient enough to listen to me for 10 minutes or so). I don't think I got the notion of return-oriented programming across very well, but the basic idea of Meltdown and side channel timing attacks in general is actually very easy to convey on the basis of a reasonably simplified picture of a CPU - you need the explain the basic role of cache memory, virtual vs physical addressing, the TLB and the basic notion of branch prediction. That's all you need to understand the principle of how the attacks work, if not the details of the implementation.
I don't think at all that the U.S. is overpopulated, but I think that there are areas of the U.S. that are severely overpopulated. The distribution of the population isn't equal, most people would not be able to thrive at all in rural areas.
That's not what the Streisand Effect is.

The Streisand Effect is when an attempt to censor information from becoming public backfires and instead spreads the information more widely due to public attention.

I'm in support of new science-based economic theories but this author seems too ignorant of both economics and quantum physics to suggest a useful, actionable alternative to the current models. Instead we get on-the-nose analogies like money being like elementary particles in quantum mechanics. How does this help economics formulate better models of how people produce, acquire, and trade goods?
Yeah, I think that the mental health part confounds the issue. When it's a chronic physical illness, it's a lot easier to give someone pills to take for the rest of their life. Whereas mental health is vaguer and potentially much more expensive.

There are plenty of cancer drugs that the NHS will refuse to prescribe due to their expense. If you want them, you'll be told to go private. If mental health is so expensive, do we say the same thing?
The fact of the matter is, is that for busy high performing professionals their entire personal life is their professional life, but that doesn't mean that their entire professional life is their personal life. This seems to be a case of the former and that distinction was not made clear. Bolding the words "Official Party" make this an official company party. Were people from DFJ there, did they help put this together, were their busses. Yes. Did DFJ's LPs pay for the busses, booze, and catering? Unlikely. Overall I'm seeing an after-hours party of adults and friends. Don't like it? Don't go or leave early. It's sad that this guy had to dox Steve and that we're going in a puritanical direction, just because a small but vocal group of brittle spirits are so easily offended. There's a slippery slope here and while this is where you may draw the line, there's going to come a point where you're crossing someone's line.

RWC papers are mostly written and consumed by academics.
Models that bury certain uncomfortable realities in assumptions (e.g. "perfect information/competition") are useful to some people but not others.

What I'd like to see studied is any connection between funds allocated to econ research and the assumptions made in the publication output.

More study on how econ research is funded in general would help to better understand the incentives and motives of researchers.

Well, sentences tend to become a lot more awkward when all the necessary caveats are inserted. There is something healthy in the comment, if you're willing to find it. If you're reading naiveté, perhaps it comes from your own pain, and I'm sorry.
Sounds like you want (or already have) children to fulfill your own self-interested goals ('to leave a legacy'). That's a recipe for disappointment.

If you have children you do it for them, not for yourself.

And there are better, more predictable ways to leave a legacy. Having a kid is a shot in the dark; sure maybe they'll cure cancer, but maybe they'll be the next hitler, or more likely, they'll be an average joe with no lasting impact on humanity.
This isn't a public party. This was a private party at a private residence.
Agreed, very first world problems. Systematic substance abuser (I presume cocaine & prescription meds as is fashionable in these circles) and long-term alcoholic who cheats on his wife and leaves her, while still having at least tens of millions to fall back on. Poor guy resting out in Chamonix...

I can understand that his childhood was much stricter than average, but so were of many others without mega wealth and they didn't ended up as pathetic amoral wrecks. And of course he wants to milk his family for more.
I think (from the Catholic view at least) that actions should come from your belief in God. Faith isn't just supposed to be a belief that god exists, because Satan knows god exists, it is supposed to be an acceptance of his will into your heart. If you say that you have accepted his will into your heart and yet you don't perform charitable deeds, are abusive to others etc. then it shows that your are either deluding others or yourself about your relationship with God. Or from the Book of James "If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone may say, “You have faith and I have works.” Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble."
