I would have left my wife standing on the porch

When you'd made an arrangement to meet them at a certain time? Man, to me that's just cold.

your wife no doubt picked up from China’s strong nationality

One thing that I picked up from dating then marrying my wife, is that China is waaaay more diverse and varied within its borders than most people in the US imagine. The basic philosophy towards friendship between the north and south varies, and even that is an oversimplification. One province over, the dining habits are waaay different from where she grew up. She comes from a Mandarin speaking region in the south, where before I'd heard that the south speaks Cantonese, but even there it's more complex than I'd thought. Turns out the real traditional languages are two entirely different dialects I'd never even heard of.

China's not so much a nation-state, as a "civilization-state."

Of legacy electronics payment systems and their need to be mediator, Satoshi says this:

minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions

If enabling small casual transactions was one of the goals, then they've failed terribly on that point.

Anyone appreciates how Firefox gives us choice? Unlike Chrome where I have to resort to hacks to stop the damned thing from downloading a fresh version whenever it feels like?

BTW: Does chrome keep to the promise of patch or diff updates instead of 100MB+ downloads for every release?

Gold has been used in dentistry for centuries (and millenia).
But aren't those gold reserves a tiny fraction of the actual cash circulating in the economy? What use does Bitcoin serve in this aspect? And I don't think that Bitcoin and Gold are really comparable. In the event of some national/international crisis, the gold is still going to be there. I don't think you can reasonably make the same guarantee about something like Bitcoin.

The difference is that cryptocurrency is ephemeral, and gold is not. One can create a new crypto-currency at any time. One cannot conjure up gold at any time. Crypto-currency can be wiped out with a hard drive crash or a lost password because it is a social contract. Gold cannot because it is physical. That still makes a difference.
Electronics industry actually uses a lot of gold as in 100's of tons. It's use is mostly limited by price so expect increased demand as the price drops.

It's not clear how much demand for gold would increase at say 1/10th the price, but based on other commodities we would probably use more than 10x as much would would represent a solid price floor.

Bitcoin on the other hand has no price floor and can effectively go to zero. Though, in practice much like beanie baby's or other fads people are likely to hold on to good vs sell it for 1/1,000th the price hopping for a comeback. You would expect long term bitcoin sales below 1 cent per coin to be very rare until eventually the network collapses.

The fact that certain industries have a lot of foreign ownership doesn't mean that they're not part of the actual economy. They produce in NZ, they employ in NZ, they buy inputs in NZ - they're part of NZ's GDP economy.

And the rest of your statement makes no sense. Some tertiary industries service primary industries, but most don't. Some housebuilding and education services immigrants, but the vast majority isn't, and regardless of that fact, it still counts as part of the local GDP.

Not exactly. Friendly fraud is when a customer is a clear bad actor and, even though they receive the goods/services, they claim they didn't.

Completely agree. The reason why we have ever-more-powerful and continuously-cheaper electronics is because of the "race to the bottom".

The area around Shea stadium/Citi field was always an industrial area... Re-zoning hasn't happened. ( Shea Stadium was built in the 60s )

Not sure that you are a new yorker with those two statements...
Shea stadium was never re-zoned, so re-vitalization was never its intended goal... Yankee stadium surrounding area has gone thru the usual cycles every other nyc neighborhood has, and the stadium location is almost 100 years old!
>Or you might claim that the US is a developed country with a developing country attached

huh?
So? The original point being disputed was that SU and Soviet people "never achieved much" which is not true in many areas, one of which is becoming a militarily powerful country able to engage in a stand off with USA while 100 years ago Poland beat Soviet Russia in a war a year after gaining its own independence.

Saying that "they are stupid because they were still communists" or that other countries were successful is moving the goal post.

Israel was a very special situation due to UN, Holocaust, ties to the West, etc. and USA is on outright easy mode in comparison because of their remote placement, size and abundance of everything and it has had tons of quiet time to develop and attracted the brightest people from the world for a while to come to live and work there. I'd say Japan or Prussia or Singapore were better sudden (under 100 years) success stories.
Gold has "real" demand though in jewelry. It's distributed and longstanding and it has utility. People wear it and use it in real life and value it and wish to keep it in order to look at it and possess it.

That's as tangible as anything else. Nobody would say that there's no demand for musical instruments, or baseballs, because they are optional parts of life that aren't food or shelter.

Gold has intrinsic value in part because people seem to intrinsically like it for what it actually is, not just it's utility in exchange. That's fundamentally different.
That's false. Google up Ethereum and you'll immediately see thousands of uses besides currency for it, because of its full programming language and massively distributed processing power.

I'm actually really curious about this as well, as Stripe becoming a lightning node would be huge for the network as they have so many connectors, both to payers and payees.

I kind of see the endgame of Bitcoin being this and I'm super bullish about BTC becoming viable as a payment platform again in a much more interesting way than the other competitors. BTC will have the best of all worlds if LTC actually ends up working on top of it.

For anybody familiar with BTC the LTC papers is pretty easy reading:

It is a super neat idea in all respects and could enable a whole new class of companies that provide these payment channels, all with very clear economic incentives not to suck while also requiring no trust on behalf of the users.
Since many of ethereums transactions are from smart contract that use lots of gas, looking at the average transaction fee is misleading.

Reading your comment finally made it click to me why cryptocurrencies (specifically Bitcoin) are distinct from a gold bar or other non-currency stores of value. A gold bar is going to remain a gold bar forever, people's perception of its value will change even though the supply will remain mostly steady, but it will stay a gold bar no matter what.

Bitcoin may change in value based on perception, it's supply will remain constant after it has all been mined, but it's existence and integrity relies on a large network continuing to exist.

To put it differently, in 50 years a gold bar is a gold bar, but in 50 years a Bitcoin may have no value because everyone stopped mining and the blockchain was destroyed by 51% attacks.

Amazon doesn't want to spend ten years trying to remake a city into something that might serve its needs. I can see why. It's a huge investment with a very uncertain return.

What money are they giving away? If Amazon never comes, then there is no Amazon taxes and thus no tax breaks.

Minor tranffic violoations are rarely an issue it's the big ones like: I can only think of a handful of times in my decade of cycling when a cyclist didn't check for oncoming traffic before going through a red light. which tend to kill people.

Minor speeding (~15%) is not a significant hazard. Going through a red light is about as dangerous as doing ~50-100MPH over the speed limit which is very rare.

Other things like riding on lane markers between cars is blatantly ignoring the rules of the road and vastly increase the risk of death. Again about as risky as a car slowly driving on the sidewalk, which you just don't see.

Bike riders on sidewalks are again extremely dangerous and often lead to fatalities, but it's also very common.

PS: I worked with bike messengers who may be unusually bad about this stuff.
> to increase the economic freedom of healthcare providers in the UK as well as the freedom of choice of consumers

So they want people dying because they cant afford treatment or don't have/can't afford insurance. Or perhaps they do want people to survive but then face bankruptcy as a result of hospital bills. The NHS is not perfect but it is a million times better than the car crash that is the US healthcare system.
My mom did for me between my turning 18 and going to college, since the cutoff to be on a parent's insurance hadn't been raised. She was outright refused by a number of providers, and finally managed to get me on a plan with Kaiser Permanente, which was still pricey, and which required us driving 40 miles to see a primary care physician (we were not in the sticks, either, but in the suburbs. On prior insurances I'd been able to see a doctor just a few miles from us, but that was the closest office a KP approved doctor worked from)

> Of course Amazon should be asking tough questions of cities akin to “and what are you going to do to support me” before spending $5 billion building a new campus.

Nothing. We exist to support our tax-paying residents and local businesses, and so you will have to work with everyone that's already here if you want something in particular. You can probably expect a new bus line, an extension of the road, sewer, and water system, one new police station, one new firehouse, two new elementary schools, half a middle school, and a new wing of classrooms at the nearest high school. The quality of all that will depend on how much your company improves the local tax base, so don't get too stingy, or the local news will have no problem airing all the dirty laundry for Amazontown a couple years down the road. The zoning board will be busy changing colors on their map so that your people can eventually spend money on drive-through coffee and dog-walkers without having to go all the way downtown.

Amazon needs to come to the table with the attitude "We're going to increase your tax base by $X. What's your plan for spending it?" The ideal city just has to blow the dust off the growth plan they already have and write new names and dates in all the blanks.

Any city that says, "we're going to give you a tax discount" is basically saying "we would rather you send your money off to Wall Street than actually spend it to improve the community that you intend to join here."

I suppose a city could also offer a bureaucrat dedicated to expediting issues related to the new HQ, like building permits and inspections and NIMBY lawsuits, if they wanted to pay the cost of that person's salary as a donation to the city. I just never quite understood the concept of offering discounts to rich people.

> Lots of assets have value without people buying things with them. Gold, houses, stocks, etc.

That value is predicated on the notion that they're worth something to the holder apart from their market price.

Gold can be used for jewelry and electronics manufacturing. In that sense it is a natural resource.

Stocks are shares in a company that runs a business or multiple businesses that could be profitable. Companies have financial obligations to their shareholders.

People live in houses.

Bitcoin's only function is to be exchanged. If no one is willing to give you anything for your bitcoin, it is completely worthless-- maybe even less than worthless when you factor transaction costs. The idea that it is a "store of value" is still predicated on bitcoin being a viable and accepted medium of exchange.

This is different from a house, which you can still use even if no one will buy it.

This is different from gold, as it is very hard to imagine a scenario where absolutely no one would buy your gold for at least for manufacturing.

This is different from stocks, where the financial obligations to you can only be cleared by legal proceedings such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
