I disagree that short term returns make it an investment. Speculation is term that much better fits the action of buying a currency with intent to return a profit.

"A speculator is a person who trades derivatives, commodities, bonds, equities or currencies with a higher than average risk in return for a higher-than-average profit potential" https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/speculator.asp

Don’t forget you have to add up taxes and other shitty fees. They come out like $100+ for Zipcar. Those $7.5 an hour deal is hard to get because they run out quick and then the ones left are far to pick up - at that point just call Uber or give up...

Do most designers ever think about ANY of these people? Modern app design doesn't even TRY to throw any of these types a bone. No "Advanced >" menus anymore, no pages of options anymore, nothing. It's all just 'sit down, shut up, push the button like a good stupid little user so we can all get paid.'
Seems to me there might be ways to program that convey more information. For example flow-based programming (FBP) seems like it might help and should help make the flow of the program explicit and obvious. That is, inherent to the code is a high level overview of what it does.

From my own limited experience it can make explaining a program to someone new almost trivial. You just use the various flows defined as almost visual guides to what is happening. I don't want to say FBP is a silver bullet, but I think it points to the idea that it is possible capture much more of the theory and design of the program in the code.

You are missing a lot of things. Like it's not just economic. Also your argument talks about bitcoin but not the other cryptocurrencies that might not have the some of the features you describe.

> Sure. It's an overvalued, speculative commodity in a bubble.

Overvalued compared with what? Speculative is an opinion.

> Ostensibly a currency, but without any of the useful features of a currency

With a fundamentally different set of features. Like being able to exchange with literally anyone in the world is unprecedented. Again, Bitcoin has opened many new markets, e.g. I can trade with North Korea with it. It also lets the underbanked people fight back against their government. E.g. I can pay a worker in Zimbabwe much easier than before. This could drive up the adoption rate to unprecedented levels.

> Most commodities are, well, something tangible or valued based on something else in the world. Bitcoin as a commodity has nothing backing it up other than its distributed ledger and the massive amount of computational power behind that.

The backing part of commodities is greatly exaggerated. Who cares? Is that why you are using dollars? It's a protocol that lets me plugin to the world economy. That's unprecedented.

You talk about BTC but like BTC is not the end all. There's like 7000 crypto, some of which are shit but some have like ...serious research behind them.

As a trading instrument it's so much better than stock. With stock you have to wait three days. I guess the closest is Forex but forex is just so boring.
Depends. I did take one from Avis roughly $70 for a whole day with some fee. But not all the time and again depends. I have AAA though. Just to be clear, for zipcar, one full day can be super expensive. Deals like $85 a day is seasonal (like Labor Day).

That doesn't make any sense. Using this logic you could argue that basically anything should have an eventual market cap of ~$1 trillion.
(author here) this sounds about right to me. I definitely know people who have gotten started for less (a friend recently just sold a car for $10k and went for it - making enough now to support his family) but obviously safer to have some cushion.

You don't have to trust the miners. They act as randomly selected notaries to the chain that have provably fronted considerable resources to accurately notarise the transactions in exchange for being paid handsomely (in specie). If they want to lie when they finally have the opportunity to get paid, and subsequently be caught lying because they don't have enough resources to rewrite the chain then they can, but this would be a pretty foolish errand which would still result in the fact you don't have to trust them.

> why should this effort be made for PHP

Because people get into programming via PHP via writing extensions for popular PHP software (WordPress) because that's what they can get paid to do as an entry level dev. It would be prudent to have them get into it in a way that doesn't cause exploits.

Sure everyone and their dog may one day get into programming via Javascript via Ghost or something else along that line, but that's just not how it is right now. How it is right now is people writing HTML forms that post into raw SQL queries - you can make rookie mistakes like that in any language, no matter which one happens to be the top dog of the moment.

Is that bitcoin's problem or a traditional economists problem?

Behavioral economics does have frameworks for thinking about bitcoin price, but then again, behavioral finance is not traditional and highly controversial. For once, it dispenses with the myth of the rational investor (homo economicus)

Trisis has mistakenly been released on the open internet
Since production of alcohol in Canada was legal during the US prohibition, presumably all of that production was done by legitimate businesses. Then licorice macularis would be on the right side of the law until they cross the border. Thus there would be no need for criminal activity until you reached the border. Right?
Because of the very truth of the statement. It is highly improbable and most unrealistic for a single entity to satisfy the wishes of all people at all times. Therefore tying oneself to a single manufacturer is inevitably in the long run going to result in disappointment.

Wouldn't you agree?
IANAL, but:

> Gender is a protected class

Which means that businesses doing public accommodation are restricted from discriminating, but 'private clubs' (such as the Boy Scouts), who have a narrowly tailored interest that is benefitted by discrimination against a protected class is generally allowed (subject to variances within state law).

For example, a group for men who have been sexually molested by men would likely be considered presumptively lawful, but a group for men who also happen to be car salesmen would likely not be.

There are a number of details that need to be considered as well, as (loosely) prescribed by _Rotary Club of Duarte[1]_, such as exclusivity (it can't be publicly available to be overheard), and purpose (already covered), but if neither conditions are met, and a state law prohibits such discrimination, then it meets (at least) a rational basis standard.

The main tangible benefit is that others can directly interact with each other and the content in one place using the built in collaboration tools.

It would be easy to move. Just upload the web site files to a Github repository with index.html in the root path, and turn on Github pages in the setting tab.

Other benefits that immediately come to mind are:
- Anyone can submit suggestions, these are called Pull Requests.
- Eventually you can add trusted community members as collaborators and they can edit pages directly.
- There is already a massive community that know this interface.
- It's free for public sites.
- Last but not least, it's super easy to edit the site, just do it directly in the browser, no need for builds, deploy scripts, etc.

Is your district drawing borders to reduce or perpetuate racial segregation?
I have managed to get by for around three years now without a car in San Diego. I sold my car awhile back in order to keep working on a now defunct startup. Since then I have worked for other startups and still had a small income so it wasn't easy for me to get a car. I just take Uber everywhere (cheaper than Lyft).

I can't afford to live downtown. Honestly if I were to "get a life" things are so spread out in socal and most everyone has a car.. I would almost have to buy a car if I were to somehow miraculously acquire a social life. But since I have no life and work from home, things have been significantly less stressful on a daily basis not having to drive. So it's kind of like I don't want to have reasons to start driving all over the place again because of the stress and risk. Since I only go out once or twice a week now the car trips seem like the primary risk in my life and I'm not eager to start braving traffic on a daily basis.

>- Removed the super-useful Magsafe connector

>- Added a stupid touchbar no one cares about

>- Used a much worse keyboard and trackpad to save like 0.5mm in width;

I have 2 of the new Touch Bar MBPs (one for work and one for personal) and those 3 things are something that sold me on the computer after I had purchased it. I had no intention of using the TouchBar and felt like they didn't need to mess with the MagSafe or the keyboard and yet all 3 of these things have won me over.

The TouchBar is amazing to me and something that I use regularly (made even better by BetterTouchTool). Being able to scrub through media while still having hands on the keyboard and then switching immediately to editing tools is a godsend for me.

The USB-C connector is a much better option, in my opinion, than MagSafe was (even though I really liked MagSafe) simply because it's not a proprietary connector and it's not limited to charging. I'll happily give up a dedicated port for charging when I don't have to buy chargers from Apple and the port doubles as an I/O port. In hindsight, MagSafe was convenient when laptops weighed and ton and could easily get pulled down by the standard laptop charger plug. I've had all different laptops for years now and can count on one hand the number of times MagSafe would have saved me a slight bit of trouble.

As for the trackpad and keyboard, I much prefer the feel of the new keyboard and I can't tell a difference between the trackpads simply because I prefer the larger trackpad. The "click" feels exactly the same in day-to-day use. The keyboard feels much more stable and even to me and I don't find the travel to be greater to one side of a key or another so it always feels like a solid press.

Maybe it's just me but I love the new Macbook Pros. I'd love to see an updated MBA with a Retina display instead of the 12" Macbook but I have no complaints about the Pro line at all and I'm a professional media creator and developer.

Perhaps a factor, but the standard take on advertising is that it conditions people to like certain products. Successful advertising tells a story the viewer wants to be a part of. Video games are the modern pinnacle of interactive story telling, so their conditioning effect should be even stronger than standard advertising.
Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you've written here.

> 1. The JSON mapping (jsonpb.go) is clumsy at best

The best thing for optional fields in jsonpb is to use the protobuf wrapper types [1]. They have special support in jsonpb to serialize and deserialize as you would expect, without the indirection. But the Go structs you get on the other end are a little weird, so its a tradeoff.

> 2. The Go code generator usually produces highly unidiomatic Go.

Yeah, using the generated structs as the main domain types in your code can be up-and-down. I agree that gogoprotobuf can help, but it's rough. We definitely use Getter methods on generated structs quite a bit for stuff like oneofs.

> 3. Proto3 has very limited support for expressing "free-form" data.

There's always `repeated byte` :) It sounds like a joke, but we've used it in some spots where the input is totally schema-less.

The Any type is also designed for this sort of thing. Still clumsy, though.

Counter example: I did NOT own a car until after April of this year, which is when Car2Go discontinued service in my area. We don’t have Uber or Lyft, so those were never an option.

Now, out of sheer necessity, I do own a car. And it costs me $550 a month for insurance, financing, and fuel. $550 would have bought a hell of a lot of Uber rides. More than enough for my needs.

The biggest downside for us is the deployment model, we'll stick with winforms for the foreseeable future* but getting the software onto user machines is still about as easy as it was in 1995, this is half the reason many apps become web apps in the first place, instant deployment.

Hosting a corporate store is azure only which is a no go, so we're stuck with the god awful click once.

There are no push deployments, when we release a new version we want everyone to be on that version, not waiting for the app store to get around to it.

The store may have caught up in this regard, but we also need to control which users get which version of the software for deploying preview builds.

The enterprise is MS's bread and butter and I always thought that they understood it well, I increasingly think that they never understood it and they just got lucky that for a time enterprise needs aligned with MS capabilities.

*There is a project to replace many of our winforms apps with react, can't wait to see this crash and burn.
Why should Bitcoin cost so much just because the future may depend on it? That's a good case for why it will continue to exist, but it could also exist and do it's job at $1.00 / btc.

I think it's a couple of things that Buffett is looking at. First, like gold, Bitcoin is not a business and does not produce earnings. Second, people seem to be buying it for no other reason than that they think it'll keep going up. That's usually a good argument for the asset not being a bargain. Third, Buffett is self admittedly not an expert when it comes to tech.
