There's betting that the price will go up. That's speculative. There's industrial use. That's non-speculative. And there's kind of a third category that I don't know how to name.

I can invest in gold because I want something that will retain value, even if it doesn't grow. I'm gambling, if you like, but I'm gambling that people will still want gold for more than industrial and cosmetic uses. In a big world, where in a variety of places people fear that their government will try to take their assets (either through confiscation or inflation), that seems like a reasonable gamble. I have a hard time classifying it with "speculation". It's still a gamble, but it's a pretty conservative one.
Why would he even engage this, he just turned it into an actual story.
You can't "punish people by letting them hang their own rope" when they don't actually get hung, because they're still around afterwards but now a burden. They now have to rely (more) on the social safety net, or turn to crime, or just sit around all poor and broken being unpleasant to look at.

A society that has decided to take on, at least partially, the burden of individual failure is incentivised to try to prevent it.

If you were to propose some sort of "unaccredited investors get to invest in risky markets if they agree to be put on a boat and cast out to sea if they fail" then I could see myself accepting that.
Be careful of confirmation bias, it is easy to just say they are wrong but it is important to them that the experiment is run.

Your thesis seems to based on the assertion that 'jobs' are the desired outcome and you will get 'automation' instead.

I don't disagree, that is certainly a possible outcome but having recently read an interesting position paper on Tesla where much of their model 3 woes were being pinned on being too automated it suggests that it isn't as simple as ordering up a few robots and you're done.

Further many of the steel and aluminum plants in the US have been automated as a means of cutting cost, and yet are still made idle by lower cost foreign steel and aluminum. So perhaps it may be a small number of positions that are brought back just by turning the factory back on. Not to mention material transport, etc.

All I'm trying to say is that these things are often more nuanced than they appear on the surface.
>No question Trump represents a large segment of Americans

There is plenty to question here. Given the CA news and additional leaks regarding the campaign he ran, Trump does not in fact represent a large segment of Americans. At best, he represents a well-targeted, vocal minority.

Specifically, with his actions and his words he is representing and providing a megaphone for the worst xenophobic elements of our society [1].

Hmm. I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Anyone who wants a country's assets and budget spending to be transparent would be free to run a node. And there's nothing about a traditional distributed database that prevents it from using hash pointers to ensure that the history cannot be tampered with. That's not a special feature of blockchain.

The question is: how do you get a country to record all its transactions in a public ledger? Once you've figured that out, the technology to use for it probably isn't blockchain.

Most of the work that goes into running a Bitcoin node is actually just for burning electricity to find the next block. No real work is being done in proof-of-work.
No one is stopping you from doing that experiment.

> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

"Extraordinary" is in the eye of the beholder. We have some evidence; you're welcome to believe it or not, but unless you supply alternative evidence you're not really making an argument. You're just saying "it might not be true," which is something anyone can say at any time about anything.
BASH is outdated, but I compile the latest version and install it in /bin (I have system integrity protection turned off).

Other UNIX utilities are actually standard POSIX ones. If you are used to GNU extensions to these on Linux, then Mac ones may seem outdated, but ironically (macOS kernel is called XNU which stands for X is not UNIX) Mac is certified UNIX, while Linux is only UNIX like.

Politicians are humans too. Why should we assume they are somehow "inherently good" if other people are not?
I don't think the health care market is quite the same, because in the health care market, in most cases the people who are paying for the services are not the same as the people who are receiving them. The people who are paying for the services (health insurance companies) do not have the same issues with asymmetric information and necessary purchase: they can obtain much more detailed information than individual patients about the relative performance of health care providers, and they have the ability to switch which providers are allowed to participate in their plans.

The main problem I see with the health care market is just what I said above: the people who are paying for the services are not the same as the people who are receiving them. This means that the price signals the market is sending are not well matched with the actual value of the services to the people receiving them. Standard microeconomics says that such a market will be highly inefficient, which I think the health care market generally is. But "inefficient" is not quite the same as "dominated by lemons".

> most anything important is available through a browser or a native app

I guess that depends on what people think is "important". If by that you mean Facebook and Youtube, sure. But if we mean things like compilers, imho it would be a net loss if the only way to compile anything for any Apple OS was through Xcode/Swift.
> Would you have to install through the app store gui?

Possibly or not. Ubuntu gives me both a gui and a command line option for apt. Thinking about being able to type "app-store install openssh" gives me goosebumps.

> How would it manage dependency chains and conflicts (system ruby vs local ruby)?

First, that example is a problem for ruby, not for the package manager. Second, software can be in the store statically compiled. Third, apt handles dep management really well. Perhaps that's something apple can learn from?

This is a solved problem in ubuntu.

This is true. The rate of progress in CPU performance has slowed to a crawl and will only get slower in the future. Because the pace of innovation of fabs has slowed Intel has also lost their fab lead and GF/Samsung/TSMC should all be very competitive with Intel over the next decade.

Apple is probably looking at all these trends and concluding that they don't really need Intel.

> One minor example: being able to make a code change in a test, run that one test, make another change, and rerun the test, all in a few seconds doesn't seem to be something that's possible in the Spring world, and perhaps not in the Java world in general

This was my experience when I began.

What I learned was: unit tests don't need Spring. It seems silly in retrospect, but that's the basic rule. If you need Spring in your unit tests, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

Having worked in a few languages and frameworks, having seen codebases at various levels of maturity and whatnot, I quite like Spring Boot & co. Especially when Kotlin is in the picture.

George Carlin said it well: "Good honest hard-workin people CONTINUE -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these RICH COCKSUCKERS who don't GIVE a fuck about them."[1].

I can't say that I didn't feel bad for them but this has been long time coming. How come countries like Germany are at the same time booming, is it because there is something intrinsically different about the two populations? We are not just leaves in a stream floating around aimlessly, the people themselves have to try and change the current status quo. If the system in place does not provide a way to do it or does it inefficiently (how I view Trump election win) it does a disservice to its people.

> Who paid for college?

I've reflected on this question before. My parents paid for college. Although I went at their urging. I was already writing software every day, to be honest I didn't see the value in a degree.

I started another online business in college, and employed my brother until I sold the company a few years later. My parents gave my brother and I a monthly stipend, but I made multiples of it with the online business.

I also incorporated lessons learned from this company into my father and I's company.

Generally, I agree with all of your points/questions.

> [He] was paying for things for you

I do think about this. But if your child has a skill, does that mean if you cloth them and feed them, you are entitled to work for free? I doubt many would agree there.

> I think you're seeing green a little

There is no discussion to be had if the business wasn't making any money. It wouldn't matter who owned 100% of $0 profit. I was part of building a multi-million dollar company, and the thought of having to redo the sleepless nights (Pulling all-nighters in high school making new stuff or after our shared host upgraded their php install and our shop started segfaulting), just seems crazy. I put in the work and I was a big part of building something great.

> want more power than your brother

Also true. I'm not sure I could disagree with his style of management any more. He is, unfortunately, not able see long term, and will cut his nose to spite his face. We just disagree, and the thought of having to have some kind of 'consensus' about decisions is not appealing.

> I have no idea what he already gifted you

I believe the note just literally just said 'ownership'. And hasn't been mentioned since.

> You could go get lawyers involved but win or lose, you'll lose.

Agreed.
> Given we have seen this particular game played hundreds of times in the past by similarly economically-illiterate ideologues

Notebooks were plenty mainstream in 2002 (they'd been accessible to the average middle-class household or small/medium business since the mid/late 90's). It's just 16:9 that wasn't mainstream at the time, at least for PCs (laptops included).
This is great, but... Sunlight. I couldn't live in Estonia for a long time. I need sunlight. Plenty of sunlight. I live in San Francisco, where the weather is great. I am originally from Italy, where the weather is quite good especially in the center/south.

I would love to live in Estonia, if not for the weather, and the loooong winters.
