I like to compare Bitcoin to Land. When people migrated over to america, land was basically worthless: there was too much of it and too few people.

As the more fertile and better located land was taken, prices started to rise. As land supply is inelastic, the price can only tend to go up as long as the demographics expand.

Bitcoin has a limited amount and even more has a diminishing supply (as coins get lost, stolen, broken). Its use case is less valuable than land but its supply way more limited.

The only thing bitcoin needs to increase price is inelastic demand. IF there is just a single use case that uses bitcoin everyday, its price will tend to infinity.
Startup opportunity. A way for people to indicate they're interested in transcripts and pledge a specific amount they'd be willing to pay. Once $PLEDGED > $COST_OF_TRANSCRIPTS, pledgers get charged, transcripts get made and emailed.

it's disappointing to see such a contentless puff piece upvoted on hackernews. "radically reinvent?" "cynical view"? "minor qualifier"? it's a suffocating piece with dangerous language meant to subtly sway its readers towards a predetermined conclusion.

as a side note regarding the design, i really dislike the camera sticking out the way it does. i tried it out at a store. i don't use cases for my phones, for many reasons, and so when you set the iPhone X (and 8 for that matter) on a table, it rocks back and forth due to the asymmetric stick out. pretty annoying and cheap feeling. there are plenty of other things wrong with this phone's design, so calling it a masterpiece is more than suspect.

> Using apps instead of websites we're killing the whole concept of making information and services available using a standard protocol

I think the interesting thing to note here is that for most end users a standard protocol is not nearly as appealing as a standard user interface. Like how most iOS apps follow common navigation paradigms, so users don't need to spend time learning each new one. And how people tend to prefer buying things on Amazon instead of any random webshop. And how WeChat has almost become a little web of its own with custom chat UIs for e.g. ordering pizza. If open software for consumers is ever to stop being beaten by these walled gardens, it needs to get a ton more UX people involved and focus on the end user UX, not just the technical implementation.

How warp-speed evolution is transforming ecology
Interesting. I just recall reading an article that went on about how your best chance of getting in is to marry in, which is unlikely for myself as I'm happily married already!

There was never anything specific about Norway (as compared to the other Scandinavian countries that generally top happiness indexes and such) just that the article said that I _couldn't_ live there.
I've had every iPhone from launch day through the 6 Plus, and have never put a case on any of them. I think it's a shame that Apple's engineers spend so much time and energy trying to make the machine small, thin, and beautiful and then people slap an ugly rubber cover on it. It's like dating a supermodel and asking her to wear a parka in public.

I'm not a butterfingers, so I've not had any problems with dropping or breaking any of them yet.

However, there is a butterfingers in my family who's dropped her X at least three times that I know about onto hard surfaces (concrete sidewalk, gravel driveway, tile floor) and it was undamaged.
In a panic (which happens periodically) a lot of people try to convert at once. But there's no central bank to bail them out.

I don't understand why Tether would be doing all that. They could have a very simple business model:

1. Accept USD and issue USDT in return,

2. Buy US Treasury bonds, which yield 1.5-2.5% for 3 month to 5 year bonds,

3. If people cash out their USDT later, Tether gets to keep the interest profit.

There is essentially zero risk: as they are buying USD bonds, they always keep their principal, and no exposure to currency fluctuations. And in the extremely unlikely case that the US Treasury would refuse to honor its debt, the world economy would be in such a crisis that nobody would even notice a small crypto exchange going under.

Do you think that Tether got greedy, invested its USD reserves in more risky assets (crypto or real world), lost money, and is now trying to cover up the shortfall?

It's pretty impressive, but that damn notch. The amount of money/time app developers and companies have spent adapting to the stupid notch is absurd.
Yep, it's disabled by default. It is a great indicator of the forward thinking work they do, though. And from a corp perspective we can push out policies to enable site isolation for high risk websites (SSO).

"The only interesting thing" is a bit disparaging haha that's kind of a big deal. It means that third party iframes, as one example, run in a separate process. It breaks the case where I am evil.com, and you are okta.com, and there is a way for me to leak data within a process (or exploit the process), I can read okta.com's data.

With site isolation is this made considerably more difficult.

I'm wondering how many people are shorting USDT on Kraken? The potential downside is having to pay interest. The upside is 100% win. With enough short position, Tether will run out of funds and the price will have to crash.

Why I would ever want to listen to music through the USB C port. There is no benefit and there are tons of decade old devices still being used that use 3.5mm. There is no reason to change.

> The answer to this is pretty simple, I think. Most people just don't charge their phone and listen to music with the headphone jack at the same time very often.

Quite common during work. Or when traveling, airports, trains etc. do have USB ports for charging.
Looking at the documentation, I was under the impression that all it could do was basic cutting and simple things like cropping. Can it do simple effects, like video overlays?
