Re license, I don’t at all mind research being commercialized, but the use of “open” in the name rubs me the wrong way. Who in their right mind would work on this? At best it will become a benchmark to compare other systems against.

The FSF requires a snail mail letter for copyright assignment. I don’t know the specifics, but this suggests magical auto-assign copyright clauses may not hold up.

Personally I GPL my stuff that may be commercially valuable. It allows a community to maintain an open version and produce offshoots, while you maintain your own version with only code you wrote for licensing.

Actually, based on my limited social circle, people from STEM get into Sanskrit much faster, because of its complex rules and similarity to programming (it's their words, I don't know Sanskrit, so can't confirm it). Learning Sanskrit is kinda "cool" now. Also, my girlfriend (not from STEM background) knows Sanskrit pretty well and keeps telling me that she feels like writing code (as she imagines that from seeing me doing or talking about it) when translating text to/from Sanskrit.

How? For companies that have gone through an IPO, there is GAAP, SOX, SOC2 controls, etc. These were all designed to help investors be informed so they can manage risk. With ICOs, what have you got? "Trust us, we've not written a bug into our system that will give us unlimited coin to offload after the price reaches a certain point."

ISPs actually do. And they are very much internet companies.

CF's whole mistake was to pretend that they were nothing more than dumb pipes and that what was legal or at least not explicitly ruled forbidden on a case-by-case basis was good enough for them. They never were dumb pipes, they always had editorial control and they provided the proof of this themselves.

Agree with the previous answer - "it depends", so I can tell only about some of the companies I know. My company is very flexible in this regard - every employee works when he/she is comfortable. We agree on calls in advance. To organize the workflow, we use several tools:

- Git for all software development (Github, Gitlab);

- Skype, Telegram for chatting, calls;

- Riter for project management/teamwork (plan and estimate sprints/tasks, add and track time spent on them, comments, file sharing, reports and so on);

And that's enough. Another company that I know prefers that all team members work simultaneously, but their employees live in some of the neighboring time zones (the difference is up to 2-3 hours).
I discussed that in my comment... But difficulty doesn't adjust fluidly, it's every 2016 blocks. A sudden decrease in hash power causes a sudden increase in block times, which means an increase in the time until the next adjustment

The situation is confusing, because of the difference between physical and financial assets. It's possible for everyone to simultaneously save physical assets, but mathematically impossible for everyone to simultaneously save financial assets.

Imagine two people alone on a desert island. Both can save up firewood (a physical asset) during their entire working lives. They can then both retire and enjoy their savings (firewood) during their retirement. So it is possible for everyone to simultaneously save physical assets.

However, financial assets are reciprocal. One person's financial asset is another person's liability. That liability can be thought of as an 'obligation to perform'. In the desert island example, they both cannot save up obligations from each other and then retire, because there would be no one working to perform the obligations.

If everyone has 'saved' as many obligations owed to them as they've accumulated obligations they owe to others, then that's the equivalent of no one having saved at all.

So it's mathematically impossible for everyone to accumulate savings in the form of financial assets. Either everyone has net zero savings, or some people have financial savings and other people have financial debt.

Therefore the healthy approach is for people to work while they can to accumulate financial obligations owed to them by the next generation, so that when they retire there is someone around to fulfil those obligations.

Therefore everyone saving prior to retirement is certainly virtuous, because it means you've done work for others so that when you retire, they're not just forced to provide for you for free. It would have been a fair deal where you did something for others and now they're doing something for you.

So just because not everyone can save, that doesn't mean it's not virtuous to save during your working life.
Well perhaps if you associate planning ahead for the well being of people that depend on you virtuous, then...
Bitcoin isn't. Bitcoin mining on GPUs has been dead for a long time.

>With A REPL first I need to do a load of import statements. Then populate my objects. Then get started with the actual debugging.

No, you absolutely do not. You just need to click around until your code hits the point in the code (or, ideally, run an integration test that gets you to that point) where you want the ability to run methods, inspect objects, etc.

Just make sure you've shoved an import IPython ; IPython.embed() in there and you're good to go. No additional imports necessary.

I agree that having your environment set up with production data (or as close an approximation as you can get) is a good idea, but I'd rather script that with a test framework where it can be used for regression testing rather than bodge it together using an IDE.

>Can someone give me an example of an always online trusted third party, and also let me know that how can you see into the future so that this third party keeps its guarantees throughout life?

This question reduces to, “Can someone give me an example of a third party I’ll trust?”

In general, it is correct to say that if you can trust a third party, you do not need a blockchain. “Always online” can refer to a variey of tiers of certainty. For example, it can mean infrastructure built on AWS or GCP, which is probably safe for the foreseeable future, excepting societal collapse or financial catastrophe. On the other hand, it sounds like you’re interpreting this literally (or at least, far more strongly), such that you require near epistemological certainty that a third party is both trusted and always available (more simply, will never be Byzantine).

The authors are not wrong to discourage use of a blockchain if you can trust a third party, because trusting a third party is simply easier. In the abstract, trusted third parties alleviate the requirement for decentralization and permissionlessness, but different parties have different (and nuanced) risk and trust models. Whether or not you should trust a third party is a function of the value of your data and the perceived resources and incentives of the vendor.

Circling back to your comment - your question is ill-posed, because your implicit requirements for a trust guarantee are likely to be significantly higher than others. For example, I backup my data to Backblaze B2 and Google GCP. Neither of them are “always online” in the literal sense, nor decentralized, so I’m trusting them in particular. Theoretically, backing up my data to a blockchain would be better for thermodynamic trust guarantees based on a distributed, mathematically hard, economically incentivized proof of work. But I don’t need that.

Trust and availability are not binary concepts. Furthermore, you should assess a third party’s trustworthiness and availability based on the value of your own data, not just their capabilities and resources.
This worries me about BTC, because it may get to the point where for the drop in difficulty takes too long that it will no longer be profitable, in this case crypto currencies where the reward is higher and the increase in reward vs difficult increases makes it more profitable means more miners will ditch BTC and go to those... That means transaction verification times just keep raising and then BTC eventually becomes useless.

That's my understanding anyway...
Before Canonical decided to ditch Unity and go to Gnome I was using Ubuntu at work and Ubuntu Mate at home on laptop. Since Ubuntu dropped Unity I went full time to Ubuntu Mate and I am very happy with it. Apart from that I have KDE Neon on big PC that I hardly ever use. It's the least stable distro I use. There is always something to do on it, but I am using it only for gaming, so it's good enough. On servers I prefer to run Ubuntu LTS editions.

I didn't realize this, thanks for explaining that.
I'll give one. It comes with the disclaimer that every time I've brought this up, I've been told I don't "get" blockchain.

I want a national voting system with distributed ledgers in every state, and to add to that, every state has a copy of every other states voting records by virtue of having to validate the transactions. There's obviously lots of particulars around this, such as what to do with absentee ballots that are mailed in. This is a hypothetical use, at least in my mind.

Another one, more for the finance industry. A few years back, I paid my rent with a moneygram. A few weeks later, I got a phone call from the rental office telling me that moneygram rejected the payment and that I needed to call moneygram. Upon calling them, they said that they had record of me buying the moneygram (or whatever the hell it actually is), but that their system didn't have a record and there wasn't much they could do beyond give me a refund. How in the actual hell does a payments company have a problem like that? As a developer, I'm left to wonder if this was caused by some errant production release that wiped records, or a developer who ran a script from a well-known runbook that wiped out critical data (read: Amazon S3), or maybe even fraud somewhere in the pipeline. Why don't they have this data distributed and backed up in offline systems? If the government is willing to throw the book at financial fraud crimes (Unless you are Jamie Dimon), then there aught to be some kind of mandate that we have a verified ledger of electronic financial activities. The even scarier thing, to me, is that I thought they would have been doing that already...

Those are a few potential uses from my perspective.

The word "seller" and "buyer" implies there is actually selling and buying happening. In your scenario there are no sales, so no actual sellers and no actual buyers.

Not OP, but Google Reader subverted Google’s model of hosting things and getting good analytics / selling ads. It also went against Google+‘S whole idea of following feeds.

In general, Google doesn’t want to encourage stuff that lives off their cloud. RSS is the best protocol for Facebook/G+ type stuff where you want feeds and updates, but it’s harder for central control.

Google has done this with other products over the past decades. I remember when Blogger used to generate flat html that would publish to self-hosted web sites. And Google desktop that would index your local machine. Lots of stuff that fit into “organize the world’s information” mission and empowered users was discarded or deemphasized in favor of things that put Google between users and their data.
The definition of "trusted" is the foundation of the conclusions of this article (and of the snarky "no" pages that are so popular), and it really deserves a long and detailed exposition of its own.

You may trust those third parties, but as always you also want the facility to easily verify (because your trust can be undermined by a single employee, a single malfunction, a single hack, and so on). When you add the notion of verification the whole evaluation flips.

"Companies staying private longer is bad for investors. Eliopoulos described the motivation as “more companies staying private.” But that doesn’t mean this behavior creates an investment opportunity. In fact, it prevents the monetization that investors need to realize returns. It might be different if these VC backed companies were growing up to throw off tons of free cash flow, but as far as we can tell, that is seldom if ever the case. As we wrote regarding Uber, a prime example of this behavior:

Kalanick had maintained he wanted Uber to stay private as long as possible. That may be a fad with some unicorns, but it’s not the way for a shareholder to maximize his net worth, so it’s a preference that raises questions about the founders’ ulterior motives. Needless to say, that desire put him at odds with his investors."

The reason late stage VC investments historically were attractive was that certain marquee investors would help validate the venture shortly before a planned IPO. The limited time between the investment and the IPO (and the investors’ reputation helping assure the IPO would be priced at a healthy premium to the last pre-IPO round) meant the odds of a healthy quick profit were high.

With more companies staying private longer, these conditions aren’t operative.
