Err, Ethereum hit an all-time high yesterday (~$1250) and at time of writing is up for the day: https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/ethereum/usd

The impression I have, coming from a host of different sources (by living here, reading newspapers, talking to people that live in those communities, etc) is that a lot of those towns do quite well thanks to their autonomy, but

1) it doesn't seem to scale past a certain community size

2) it leaves them vulnerable to aggression from rival groups that get in cahoots with narcos and other powerful people (caciques, etc), and when they ask for government help the response they get is along the lines of "well, you wanted to be autonomous, so now help yourself and don't ask for help". In many cases it's even been pretty well documented that the government itself funded these rival communities precisely to "punish them" and create conflict due to them "daring" to go independent.

In any case, some communities have very interesting takes on how governance should be carried out. For example, some require people to serve in the "governance body" for a short period of time (I've read about 3-6 months in some cases) so that everyone gets to participate a few times at least and thus everyone's interests are fairly represented. Also, those positions are often unpaid as they are considered to be "your duty", i.e. it's the share of the load that you get to carry for living in such society, and so on.

Unfortunately I can't link any sources since a lot of this info has been told to me in person and some I've read in obscure magazines, random blog articles or Mexican newspapers and such. I think the works of Eduardo Galeano [0], if you can find them translated, have some information on Zapatistas' government structure called "Caracoles" for example.

It's an interesting topic to say the least.

> payment was made in that currency then repayment is expected in that currency.

The term you are looking for is "legal tender". That's the thing that has the property that if you pay your debt with it, the debt is considered settled. US$ is legal tender, but ETH is not. Of course, one could try to sue for fraud and lost profits and stuff, and may even win if by some weird chance the contract specified refunds in ETH, but then good luck collecting on that judgement. More likely, contract didn't, and then tough luck.

It doesn't have to be this way though. You can get Bitcoin by downloading some software, generating a key, giving some cash to somebody with Bitcoin and receive it on your wallet. You can do this with no identification points at all. The main trick is finding somebody with Bitcoin which is getting easier all the time. If you are using it as an investment vehicle that is different. But as a currency/ banking this is different. That said, faster transaction speeds and lower fees are very important.

This has nothing directly to do with sample size.

First, that's obviously not a rephrasing of what they said. They, very clearly, illustrated a valid case for a well-powered, low sample size study. They presuppose a case where 31 virtually identically-haired white men undergo a treatment and, voila, it works decidedly well.

Second, you're begging the question. You state that the drug doesn't work, yet have concocted a scenario in which it clearly and explicitly works. Even in your "cheatsy" example, 15 of the 16 people go from "bald" to "full head of hair." If the "full head of hair" metric is wrong it has nothing to do with the sample size, rather, we'll find this by examining how the study partitioned groups, pre-trial measurements and its claims to have calculated effectiveness over placebo (ie: actually reading the study).

Third, you've neglected statistical power (which is actually your argument here) for an incorrect statement about low-sample size bias. You state that the mechanism of action for this bias is a pre-partition between [truly bald, nearly haired] and then, given maybe a bit of luck, let good ol' father time take over and show, wow, the (useless) drug works! Maybe everyone experienced a 1.5x follicular density growth, but only because you've been able to presort the group do we see the non-placebo benefit more than the other... except this has nothing whatsoever to do specifically with sample size! If you can sort a trial with 31 people into 15 "truly bald" and 16 "near-haired" you bet you can sort a trial of 200 participants into 96 "truly balled" and 104 "nearly haired" or, heck, just don't even randomize your group selection at all! Or run the study 20 times and pick the successful one! Or any number of other tricks, which are real and meaningful and require someone to actually read the study to uncover instead of just looking at a clearly, very misunderstood, number.

This study doesn't have a control group. Studies without a control group are not very reliable because you can't compare the results of the treatment with the expected results. Perhaps in the selection method they overestimated the problems of the patients. For example in:

> Six of the patients had had to discontinue working or were struggling with their jobs at the time of presentation, and all were able to return to work or continue working with improved performance

Is this usual or unusual? When you et a new illness or symptom you may not be able to work, but after a time you get some coping strategies and adapt to your new capabilities and can return (partially?) to work. Perhaps they got an usual counseling to help them, and all the effect is due to the counselling and not to the diet. Perhaps they get weekly/monthly interview that were unintended counseling. Perhaps ...

Without a control group, it's difficult to guess how many of them would have got a similar result.

It looks like there is only indirect evidence, and no direct evidence. In fact, the whole discussion smells far too much of "correlation means causation" to get anything useful out of it.

> My understanding is the 'Federal Reserve' is a collection of private corporations/banks founded in 1913

A common misconception, but incorrect [1]. The Federal Reserve was created by an act of the Congress in 1913 [2]. Part of the confusion arises from private banks holding "shares" in their respective regional reserve banks. These "shares" are less "share of stock" than "you are regulated by us" membership accounts with an archaic label.

The history you mention, of a private organization gradually falling under the purview of public regulation, is closer to that of the Bank of England's [3].

> who lend money to the US treasury at interest paid as dividends

American banks are required to hold a lot of their capital in safe assets, i.e. U.S. Treasuries and things that look like Treasuries. So yes, banks lend money to the government and then get back interest. If you'd like, you can do this too [4].

> this false narrative of all Republicans are evil needs to stop.

Then perhaps they should stop being evil.

Republicans should fight the evil within their own party and drive it out. They should ask for the resignation of abusers, and voters should fire the ones that don't resign. Republicans shouldn't throw money behind suspected child molesters. Republicans shouldn't rescind laws that the vast majority of Americans want because Verizon and Comcast filled their coffers. Republicans shouldn't attack various races, religions, and immigrants, and should condemn anyone who does. Republicans should come out strongly against Neo-Nazis rallying and using their political party as a facade. Republicans should stop fighting so hard to stop voters from voting - removing registered voters, gerrymandering and voter suppression laws are categorically anti-American practices and need to stop. Republicans should want to work with the Democrats to come to a healthcare agreement everyone can live with, if they truly find the ACA so reprehensible despite amending over a hundred times and then voting for it.

Once the Republicans start acting like a conservative party and not an extremist organization, then maybe we can change the tone of the conversation back to "reaching across the aisle" and being friends despite not agreeing on the tax brackets or which companies get which subsidies.

But sadly that's not the state of political discourse in this country in 2018. The "Good" Republicans need to make their voices heard above the wailing of the lunatics currently running the asylum. The "Evil" Republicans need to be removed from office. And we need strong assurances that our democracy won't ever crumble like this again.

I think an interesting solution to consider is a sort of drug bounty program run by the government. Right now, companies put up their own capital to fund drugs, and get a big payout (via patent exclusivity) if they succeed. This is a bit problematic, because regardless of the expense of the cost to develop the drug, it is in the interest of the drug companies to charge as much as possible for the longest amount of time to maximize return on investment (personally why I think there are so many long-term treatments for diseases like HIV rather than full-on vaccines). But if the government were to say “we will give $X billion to the corporation that provides a drug that meets Y conditions, with the caveat that that drug will then be sold for $Z per course of treatment or immediately go generic”, then public health policy could direct certain aspects of drug discovery, and lead to more affordable outcomes. There are still issues with this sort of plan, but I think it has the potential to be workable.

The conclusion from the very first review cited in your article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20351774):

These findings provide evidence that consuming PUFA in place of SFA reduces CHD events in RCTs.

i.e. replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease, which was my original claim.

From your article:

Saturated fats do increase cholesterol levels relative to polyunsaturated fats.

You need some fat in your diet, but the overwhelming evidence is that you're better off getting it from unsaturated (plant-based) sources.
Brian Krzanich earns around $20 million p.a. at Intel. He sold 900,000 shares for about as much, total.

Even if he expected the stock price to be cut in half, he'd save just half a year's worth of his regular compensation. And Intel stock barely budged.

That would be an enormously stupid attempt at insider trading. Not only doesn't it pay very well. A CEO of such a company is closely watched by stockholder, the company's own lawyers, the media, competitors, and the SEC. The SEC regularly nails mid-level executives of unknown companies giving tips to their friends' dentists.
That's because they are too busy doing pretty much everything else: dinner planning, shopping and cooking, laundry, cleaning the house, looking after and managing kids and working full-time.

Yeah, I don't mean to make it sound like there's no good reason for CV... I came across as sort of harsh. I just feel like CV got taken up in application a lot because it makes intuitive sense but with relatively little in terms of theoretical scrutiny, especially relative to other alternatives. When it has been compared to alternatives, the comparisons are sort of weak in that they often involve strawman or unrepresentative assumptions. CV involves certain assumptions itself, for example, in terms of choices, that affect results in sort of unpredictable ways sometimes. I'm a big fan of bootstrapping too and have often felt that that avenue hasn't been explored as much as it could be.
