More importantly, tech investors have definitively netted lots of profit even if the music stops.

For example, if you are making x50-100 gains on tech investments, you are not rolling the dice full again but netting out some of that profit. Which is still a plenty and more profitable than traditional investment channels.

Sure it can't work for everyone and the market is very heated right now but we should not incorrectly assume that the tech industry didn't create enormous amounts of wealth.

A put allows you to sell an asset at a certain price in the future. So, say I bought a put option with a strike price of 10k USD for bitcoin 5 years from now. If in 5 years the price of BTC is less than (10k - the price I paid for the put option) I can buy a BTC for whatever it currently costs, sell it at 10k to whoever took the other side of the option and make a profit.

The risk is that if the price of BTC is above 10k, then I'm out the money the put option cost me.

Yes there is. That's the point of iamcasen: they have way more metadata to analyze. They can know who talked with who, when, for how long, etc.... All that information is present on the providers' servers, which is presumably available to the FBI in an investigation. Only the content remains unknown.

Savings accounts used to pay 10% interest. Now all investments that beat inflation are "risky" including s&p indexes, simply because they are at their all time high and there is so much uncertainty in the world. So by that calculus the risky investment that's been showing 5000% annual return is more attractive than the risky investment that's showing 15% return.

Technical Understanding of cryptocurrencies has nothing to do with financial understanding.

It feels to me a fallacy to think because you understand the tech, you are magically a good investor in it.

1. I came to see it as undervalued in early 2017 (when I started buying it) because I saw the price curve, read the whitepaper, observed the community governance at work, tried it out, and reasoned that it has the potential to take a significant, long-lasting role in the global economic system. So I bought a small amount that I can afford to lose.

2. I didn't say Bitcoin produces returns, and don't believe it will. It's a currency, not a business. Like I said, I don't have the wealth to get a significant share in anything that produces a return. It's a class of assets I just don't have access to yet (in my mind, and for many other reasons I haven't mentioned).

3. I would advise anyone to only invest in what they know. I wasn't recommending anyone invest in Bitcoin specifically, and in fact, I myself haven't bought any in 2018. I was only explaining why I did consider it a good investment in 2017, and why many people might have felt that way and still feel that way.
> I live in the US and don't pay fees on transfers between my brokerage account and checking account. They take a few days to clear though

They're probably doing an ACH [1] transfer, which is net settled [2]. They take longer but are cheaper than wires. Fedwires, once transmitted from the sending institution, take seconds to be received [3]. They're real-time gross settled [4], i.e. faster but costlier [5]; many institutions waive (i.e. eat) these fees for clients with more than ~$50,000.

[5] Why? Because they're immediate and irrevocable. The first part means the bank has to use actual funds on hand, versus hoping a countervailing transfer cancels out the work or letting a profitable (relatively speaking) investment pay out. The second part means mistakes are more resource-consuming.

A carbon tax can make fossil fuels uncompetitive on the markets where it has competitors, and does not require micro analysis of the entire world. Governments can just push higher and higher taxes until it is niche, and then start banning the niches.

He knows so much about Alzheimer that he identified 3 subtypes. His treatment focuses on 36 points since there are many factors that contribute to Alzheimer. He refers to Alzheimer as a roof with 36 holes and the necessity to plug all holes to stop having rain inside the house.

In my case the smart card is a mandatory government issued ID. [1] I use it to sign more than just banking transactions. Indeed I use it pretty much everywhere where classically a pen signature was used.

However the concept is more generic than that. Banks could easily supply customers with their own smart cards to do this. Indeed chipped credit cards could be used for this. Although as others have noted, these chipped credit cards still have the classic card numbers printed on them which act as the private key. My local banks also supply chipped credit cards, however you can disable transactions with just the numbers via a checkbox on the bank's website. Surprisingly some banks already disable it by default, so you have to go out of your way to enable transactions with just the numbers.

Isn't critical information (medical, financial) required to be hosted on European soil?
Maybe. Well trained humans give better customer service when you are talking to them. (try to tell the kiosk the restroom is out of toilet paper) Thus there are advantages to humans who are easy to talk to.

However a kiosk allows 1 person to work the 10pm->5am shift - this shift is not profitable with 3 high wage employees, but if one person can cook and deliver food it might make sense.
I doubt it, other than syntactic sugar, which makes tuples really easy to use, like destructuring and construction. I.e. in Python, if you have a function that returns a tuple:

a, b = f(xxx)

To create a tuple you just do (a, b). In Haskell, you get some other benefits, like tuples being functors (i.e. "things that can be mapped over"):

map show ("tuple", 5) == ("tuple", "5")

P.S. Not a Python expert, but I think tuples might be enumerable in Python, which works because Python is dynamically typed.

The best part of the article was where Buffett said he'd buy put options on cryptocurrencies if he could, but wouldn't short them. I bet most investors in cryptocurrencies don't understand his reasoning there, and that's frightening.

Note: I'm not saying they have to agree with it, but if you don't understand his point and are invested in cryptocurrencies you should really be asking yourself how much you really know.
If you can boil that down into an understandable statement appropriate for airing to on the radio or a finance television show, i'd be interested.

Otherwise, it seems like you just tried to do a "grapeshot" with tech jargon & lacking a main point.
We have a de facto two-party system because that's the outcome of a FPP voting system. Nowhere is the two party system codified and nowhere is it declared optimal or even desirable.

Point being, optimizing districting to maintain a 2-party system may not be desirable, even if that's the system we've fallen into. We could change voting systems to introduce more viable parties (which has it's own problems - look at unstable governments in Europe based on oddball alliances).

There are very few independent, non-partisan human beings. Simply changing who does the redistricting and the means bu which they are chosen to do so doesn't solve the problem, because the people who are interested in and chosen to do the task are always going to have political views.

Even having bipartisan commisions doesn't solve the problem. Parties will work together to secure incumbents.

> You don't get to put a construction crew to work to build your dream home.

If you want to you absolutely can, without being "the very rich." It just takes more work, and the availability of vacant land. Yes, I understand vacant land doesn't exist in NYC or the Bay Area but for most of the country it's trivial to buy a half acre (or larger) lot with water and sewer hookups already, and get a construction loan for the building of a house.

Yes it's more logistics and you need to management the mortgage for the land and the construction loan(s) separately but if you're not in a very concentrated urban area it's doable for anyone in the middle class or above who actually wants to do it.
> Someone who's rich wouldn't really notice 10% of their net worth gone.

It depends more on how leveraged your wealth is than on how much you have.

> The entire economy is definitely not as risky as BTC. The economy doesn't see 50% swings in value week-to-week.

Price volatility != risk. A number of people lost everything they owned in 2008. Everything. In fact, I've heard it said that half of the world's wealth disappeared.

Patent trolls can decide to attack any time they feel like it.

Free codecs actually are in somewhat better position, because they do due diligence to work around known related patents. And attack from unknown / invalid can always happen.

So overall HEVC is nowhere less risky, and on the contrary, many explicitly declare upfront, they want money for it which is its major downside.
I don't see how you're arguing that this isn't an attack.

However, it's clear that the severity will depend on the particular group. A group of three friends will certainly notice when someone is added to the membership. A larger group of people who don't know each other personally but trust the administrator to administer membership will have to rely on the admin both noticing and taking action, and he may be hampered in doing so by the attacker.
I don’t understand why I should give any credence to a criticism who can’t engage with that point honestly and forthrightly.

Other countries need to reciprocate this action. If you're a Chinese company and you collect user data, that data will be managed by a third party company that is owned by the host nation and if you don't like it, you have to leave the country. This should be a retaliatory measure. There's no reason Chinese companies should get to gobble up Dutch data or something and then inevitably use that for spam and scam, and then cry foul about some other company gathering user data about Chinese users. I don't have an issue with China, but when they do these types of things, then I believe other countries should reciprocate the action. China can either play fair, or lose access to other international markets and just sell products locally to China.

The mature and stable crypto-currency market will doubtlessly shrug off the demise of its founding coin.

At least the terrible transaction speeds will mitigate a substantial amount of damage.

I think the flaw in your argument here is that you're only considering software products. A large amount of software does not have a name (beyond internal denomination), and that's where most of the crap is. A lot of the products with names are crap, too, but those are more likely to be worth anything because they are governed by evolutionary processes (bad products are more likely to fail on the market, whereas an in-house accounting solution has no option for failure, just for death march).

This. What-aboutism is rampant these days, but frequently involves conflating things of such vastly different degree as to be of an altogether distinct quality.

I look at the common elements that living beings have, compared to plain matter.

Animals have consciousness and can feel pain. Animal and plant bodies are both comprised of many differentiated cells. Both have DNA. Bacteria are singular cells, and have DNA...

Plants have been demonstrated to have short-term memory, recognize family and neighbouring plants, and so on. So... it is extremely likely that plants, bacteria, fungi, and perhaps even amoebas, also have consciousness, feel emotions and feel pain. Maybe not in the way we think about emotions and pain, but in whatever way they do, which is entirely mysterious to us, being animals with animal-consciousness and instincts. We cannot understand what it is like to be a plant, bacterium, fungus or amoeba... it is far too alien to our animal-mind.

Not just repairs. Depending on what you get your facing everything from condo fees, taxes, lawn care, etc and it can all add up quickly.

The real savings from renting is the flexibility to up size, downsize, relocate etc as needed and with minimal transaction costs. Thinking of starting a family some day? That does not mean you need to pay for more space today, unless your planing to stay put for 15+ years.
