If you hold the the private key of the coin, simply download the forked coin client and sync with the old key. The money should automatically appeared.

The story is more out of control if you hold the money in the trader. Since you had to rely on the trader to enable support for that new coin, which may happen later or not happen at all.

If your high-priority task takes N hours, and you only work for N-k hours, you won't finish your work. You can't just magically do more with less.

Working longer is a proven way to finish work that takes more time. Prioritizing only lowers N, not k.
Thanks for the rich reply. So you mention PaaS may not be suited for persistent processes. Do you think it could work well with Phoenix’s channels (web sockets)? As I understand, they create a process per user web socket connection. Phoenix also allows multiple nodes to discover and share these channels’ state AFAIK — are there any tools that make this discovery easier from Google’s side for Elixir to automatically connect the nodes, say when instances are brought up or down? I think it would be good to have this as part of the documentation if there is, as it would be a key selling point if it’s relatively easy.
I’d argue SV does so well because SV is fundamentally extractive in how it uses tech. It uses tech as a way to strip mine a particular domain, often bypassing incumbents in the process. There is nothing innovative about this process. It is not ‘high’ tech so much as applied tech. Another take on this: look at the type of people that SV idolizes by and large. Are they mostly hackers? Or business people?

SV is a colony of capital B business, and they keep the makers around because they have to.

In my experience, the way the workforce is changing towards a contract economy helps no one except for employers.

In the short term, contractors can get more money by far - hour to hour. But when life events crop up such as illness, death in the family, personal injury, etc, the house of cards can become unstuck pretty rapidly if people haven't planned well enough for their rainy day.

It's already happening here in CO. The amount of consolidation going on behind the scenes over the past couple years is staggering.

This discussion started out with me saying that you can start your own business even without another person in the house backing you up financially.

Somehow we've gotten from there to a point where you're suggesting that a poor person who is somehow capable of starting their own small business is, by the very nature of being poor, fundamentally incapable of making a good decision regarding disability insurance options. And it is because of this fundamental lack of cognitive ability that we need a regulatory environment demanding that the business owner (who is themself) must purchase disability insurance on their behalf?

I'm sorry, but you've just gotten to the point of nonsense.
Good stuff, I highly recommend applying as a researcher to the top leading forecast reporting firm called cryptonaire.com. They have many clients that are large investment groups that will be using their research when the full app release is out. It would be nice to have more researchers that love crypto rather then investment. Give it a try, they are the first research firm in the industry.
One interesting note: The article mentions Ronald Reagan's Justice Department's lax handling of antitrust regulations as leading to consolidation in the brewing industry, but the number of breweries was near its nadir before he was elected; in 1978 Jimmy Carter legalized home brewing, which was close to the very bottom in terms of number of breweries.

Their are a lot of very biased statistics reported around bike related deaths.

Even with a lot of bike infrastructure, and a biking culture
Denmark sees 17% of traffic related deaths by cyclists which is vastly more than their share of miles traveled.

Their are augments around health benefits. But, these fail to show up in the data as Denmark has ranks #17 in Europe significantly behind even United Kingdom with it's well known obesity problem. https://www.reinisfischer.com/life-expectancy-european-union...

PS: You need or look at all related risks combined not just select a few. One risk rarely considered, is heavy exercise in traffic is very bad for the lungs.
One expects prices to always rise in response to increased demand in the short term. One might call that the short term inelasticity of supply due to economic inertia; it simply takes time to ramp up production.

But what of the long term? With products such as food, one expects that the best land is already in production, so increasing supply will require bringing marginal land into use, at higher cost. Supply is inelastic and prices rise. Similarly for minerals. One is usually mining the richest ores. To increase supply one has to spend more freely refining lower grade ores.

There are no such constraints for producing insulin in medicinal quantities. The supply should be completely elastic, with the result that prices do not rise.

> If you want "smothering a beer's other flavors" then look no further than whiskey/rum/et al. barrel aging (and I'm not judging, whatever floats one's boat),

That seems to be a current trend like the hyper-hops that everybody is complaining about.

I used to like barrel aged beers because they would take an actively good beer, drop it in a barrel for a bit, and that would add just an extra touch of something. About 5 years ago, I could order just about anything barrel-aged and I was going to like it.

Now, barrel-aged seems to be "massive amount of overpowering, cloying sweetness". <bleck> "Barrel-aged" is now a warning sign for me to request a taste first.
> I think it is well understood in economic theory that when you can prevent competition in the marketplace, you can charge significantly more for for your product/service.

Well yes, that's how unions work. What kind of bargaining power would they have otherwise?

> After all, if the people making 1/3 the amount the union workers were making were allowed to take the jobs in the auto industry, they would. Who wouldn't want to triple their income by simply changing employers?

What keeps them from joining the union and then taking the jobs?

Before the IPA fad kicked off I used to go to a local beer megastore and specifically sample every American IPA because that was the smallest segment that was reasonable to take on in its entirety. It still took me two years to complete. Nowadays it would be impossible with the overwhelming glut of IPAs. Nor would it be very enjoyable since the fad breweries just take IPA as an excuse to overload on hops and destroy any other flavor nuance. Back then there were some true gems to be found that wouldn't even qualify as an IPA today because their hops content was well moderated.
Bitcoin token's (secondary) value is the right/ability to write a new row into a global eternal immutable append-only decentralised censorship-proof spreadsheet table (blockchain). It is valuable not only in economic context to create a border-less cash-like digital commodity. It could be used for proof of publication or proof of existence and in many other useful ways (smart contracts).

In other words, owning a non-dust amount of Satoshis gives you some useful property. Anything scarce and useful will have value and market will price it. Anything with a price and good properties to become means of exchange, unit of account or store of value could under some circumstances become a form of money.

Similar as with gold. You can use it in electro-industry. That's its secondary value for people who see value in electronic devices. If you were to explain why gold is valuable in electro-industry to a member of native african tribe, he would not see that value, because electricity and electronic devices is something not considered in his mind. You are in the same boat with Bitcoin here :-)
I'd agree that drugs with almost no overdose risk are stupid to put behind a prescription, but a lot of prescription drugs are dangerous and are only used because the status quo is worse. Even metformin has side effects - you really shouldn't be taking it if you don't need it, and you professionally cannot know if you do.

And doctors want annual / quarterly renewals on prescriptions to check if your condition has gotten better or worse in regards to whatever the drugs were treating.

Because at the end of the day, if you overdose on something, someone will still call 911, an ambulance will still come haul you to the hospital, and doctors will still spend millions of dollars trying to save your life if they deem it feasible regardless of if you can afford it or not. Unless you have an explicit will saying not to do that. And when you cannot pay your million dollar hospital stay (and the uninsured cannot) the hospital gets to write off the loss and seek recompense from the government anyway.

And from the governments perspective, around the world, it is simply cheaper to provide regular and preventative care than to deal with the astronomical higher rate of emergency care people have to get in the US because they cannot afford the cheap routine stuff and instead cost the state life saving procedures instead.

"Something weird and/or strange"? A condition as commonplace and easily treatable as appendicitis requires more than generic drugs, a scale and a blood pressure cuff. Then consider other relatively common conditions like cancer (more than a third of the population will have to fight it at some point) or head injuries.

But even if it were just weird things that cost a lot, that would still be a serious problem with the idea of expecting people to just buy healthcare as needed.

Nice - the "Detectron operators currently do not have CPU implementation; a GPU system is required." on https://github.com/facebookresearch/Detectron/blob/master/IN... is outdated then? Or is it the "nearly all" that's behind this statement?
Again, not true. Look at the effective tax rates. The lowest quintile pays single digit percentage (negative income tax when you account for the EITC).

Top quintile pays an effective rate of over 30%.

That, and it’s much easier to buy a sleeve of Oreos rather than whip up a batch when you want a cookie
Butler's books made my skin crawl in the best possible way. I can't think of another author in SF who so thoroughly conveyed the feeling of rape to a man who'd never experienced it.

Agreed that Amazon is actually not the best at checkout, especially on mobile. What we're referencing is the fact that Amazon is able to invest $100M's and 100s of engineers into optimizing the checkout experience. Others really struggle. And, there are hundreds of things you can do to optimize checkout. Here's one study with examples: https://baymard.com/checkout-usability

We do all those things. We invest the engineering resources to perfect checkout so that you don't have to. Even our checkout today is not perfect, but it's way better than the one's we replace. And will continue to improve with every deploy.

"Amazon-like" can be a bit confusing. Really it appeals to our vision to help every online business compete with Amazon by optimizing their payments flows. And hopefully even create a superior-to-Amazon experience.

Nice idea but aircraft and houses are solutions to rather different problems.

Assume an aircraft is a very large cigar tube with wings, tail and wheels on stilts. So, start by cutting off the wings and tail and seal the holes. You need to remove the wheels and fix the thing down so that it wont blow away in a strong wind. It is probably too long for one family, so it will need partitioning or chopping up and the ends stoppered. You'll also need external doors - ideally at least two per dwelling for fire safety. You can't open the windows so those will need sorting out. You probably will want to divide up the living/sleeping/food prep/lav areas. You need plumbing, potentially heating and/or cooling. At least it wont rust, being aluminium. However, being ali. means that alterations will cost a fortune. You can't put steel and ali directly together (Galvanic) and any alterations that puncture the skin will need very careful waterproofing.

I'd go for something like this instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissen_hut They are very cheap to build and are not just for military use.
eBay in the USA has largely abandoned its original private party auction market. The vast majority of items are now fixed-price general commercial crap from overseas manufacturers.

This is pretty crazy. I'm surprised no other news outlets are picking this up. The company says it is normal to pay management fat payouts to drive the company into the ground? Why should they get paid for selling for $100M when they took over and it was worth $700M?
When I got into computers eons ago, I really believed that they would be a force for social good: relieve tedium, improve the lot of most humans, and so on. But I really have trouble seeing a huge benefit to the inevitable elimination of many checkout jobs across the world. Sure, lining up takes a bit longer, but there is a social aspect to grocery shopping that is disappearing, and that is not good. I just extrapolate to a world where 3 or 4 companies own everything, and I wonder where that leaves all the other people on the planet.
