Not everyone that has money thinks this way. It's a special kind of freedom to be content with more than you need and not have wants.
Rereading my response, I don't think that's at all what I was arguing for. I thought I was quite clear in qualifying the specific situation when I thought it would be helpful to know about lower level details. I'm sorry you interpreted it the way you did.

He hasn't been paying attention to the space long enough: Many traders in contraband meet that description, and used to talk about it at length in r/darknetmarkets, before it was banned. (BTW, does anyone know where they hang out, now?)
> The market favors clickbait, not necessarily truth.

This seems super related to the lack of a decent way to pay for one-off articles and the need to show ads. If there were a medium between adware and a $10/month subscription, I firmly believe the articles would bulk up again. Gaming for page views necessarily trends towards zero content per page view. Competing for money itself would lead to some sort of qualitative difference in content--a huge win for consumers.
Tom Lehrer is pretty unique, I'm not aware of anybody in any other language that even comes close to the cutting edge of his wit and the quality of the delivery. What's really surprising is how small the body of his public work is given the recognition of his name. That's a pretty good indication of the level of quality.

> The Colorado serves the same purpose as the Seine in Paris, as a cultural divide.

Slightly off topic, but I've always found it fascinating how much rivers and other bodies of water can have a drastic impact on the culture despite how easily we can cross them.

Also see San Francisco / East Bay, Manhattan / Brooklyn, or really any other city where water is involved.
> I disagree. Creating these weapons, especially things like drones which make it much, much easier to go to war, and removes the penalty of having your own citizens die in combat, conflates those two things. If it's easier to go to war, and your side doesn't have to suffer casualties, you will go to war more often. Thus, these things are unethical, as you are facilitating war.

You are correct. However, now that drones exist, working on them is going to be about making them more targeted. Making them less likely to kill civilians, and more efficient about what they do. In large part, I agree with the targeted killing of the individuals targeted by drone strikes. What I would like to do is make the weapons and targeting systems of those drones better at reducing collateral damage. That seems like an important goal to me, and a perfectly ethical one.
Appropriately, I'm going to guess it was with HTML and CSS.
I've always wondered why people are so hard on Facebook, but give At&t and the other ISPs a free pass to do whatever they want. If you ask me, the ISP cartels are orders of magnitude more evil than FB.

At least FB is making changes to address the issues, unlike At&t who keeps screwing people over more and more every year.

Kudos on the IDE, kudos on helping your girlfriend, but it could have done without the "I'll solve all the problems with technology and then she'll see me as the hero I am" schtick.

Discussing wages with supply & demand and not taking into account the worldwide labor supply. At some point, it is more profitable for companies to move overseas.
In almost all realms of human progress, lives have been lost along the way. People died when ships sank, so we made ships safer. People died when rockets malfunctioned, so we made those safer too, and when bridges collapsed, when trains crashed... just about everywhere we have brought in technology to improve our lives. It can't be denied that we are remarkably complacent and usually need people to die to prompt these actions, but in almost every example, those deaths aren't in vain. Something is learned from it. Those who do, make the future safer. It doesn't explain away people dying, but maybe some can be comforted that at least they did not die for nothing.

> HashCash, ECC, Merkle trees etc... Just combined together in a clever way to create something that's more than the sum of their parts.

No, not really. The way proof-of-work is used is nothing like in HashCash (more generally known as a time lock puzzle), the solution to a decentralized clock is the one piece that is new. In the paper it is referred to as "Timestamp Server". Everything else is previously known tech, but the clock piece is an invention, the invention that made it all possible.
I mostly agree, but the point I'm making is that the people who made Austin a mecca for interesting culture moved there precisely because it was not a market oriented culture. So of course they're unhappy about the change in cultural orientation, and without money themselves, they have little recourse outside of policy (though they do have the ability to shape policy given the long term power structures there). And I'm not sure it's wrong to try to prop up established elements of the culture they like, though I do suspect it's untenable.
It's impossible to keep track of all the laws and regulations one must follow. More gets printed every week than anyone could glance through, let alone read. The archives are even more impossible.

With an effort, a large organization can be maybe probably mostly in the clear, but no amount of budget and perfectionism can get anyone definitely in the clear who is actually doing something.

Ok, so if we're saying "commodity" as in "not legally any kind of currency or legal tender" then that's a valid reason.

People have a tendency of believing whatever they read, period. Trying to always remain skeptical and search out multiple sources and facts is hard and time consuming. Being a skeptic is also challenging from a mental/emotional standpoint, because you always have to challenge your own possibly deeply held beliefs.

“Money” is overly restrictive, it's really all goods and services, and the old “political economy” is a substantial part of what eventually became the field of “political science”. It may not still be considered mainly in the scope of Economics departments, but then what used to be called “natural philosophy, while still studied, isn't part of scope of the Philosophy department.

That's a pretty important point. We aren't going to ban alcohol are we? Aren't we even trying to allow marijuana consumption? Both of theses put you in dangerous situation on the road, yet we aren't talking about blocking their consumption.

Medical Records

Mid aughts, I was trying to figure out how to use tamper evident logs (rolling hashes) for our electronic medical records infrastructure. To answer questions like "what did you know and when did you know it?" and "where did this bad data come from?"

Coupled with the notions for Translucent Databases (all data at rest is encrypted) to protect privacy.

We hadn't even gotten to the consensus and trust issues.

Authenticity

I'm now most interested in verification of sources.

Where did this cotton or wheat or cobalt come from? Are these pills authentic?

Is the data cited by this paper legit?

Verify copyrights, perhaps even a realization of Ted Nelson Xanadu's notions of transcopyrights. (Disney's DragonChain and others have floated those use cases.)

Is this news report real or agitprop? Is this quote actually legit?

Did someone(s) silently update some published information?

Etc, etc.

My aunt moved to Austin in the late 1960s when it was a sleepy little college town of 50,000 residents and 250,000 students. The population waxed and waned with the seasons and you could still swing on a rope into Bull Creek or camp under the stars in the nearby hills. I have many happy memories of that and swimming in the other places in and around Austin.

More than twenty years ago there was enough growth that people asked City Council to consider annexing the unincorporated areas around Austin but they refused. City Council didn't want the responsibility, so developers built in the hills and put in septic systems in an area with a lot of clay soil. Now the waterways are so polluted from runoff you don't want your dog in Bull Creek much less yourself.

You have the tussle over Barton Springs that resulted in the salamander habitat taking precedence and suddenly big chunks of the pool are off limits because of aquatic plants that can't be removed. Still, probably better than Nestle just coming in and damming off the pool so they could bottle the water and sell it.

Change is inevitable, but managed change is far preferable the other kind; Austin planning for their growth would be much more charming place than it is today. It might not be any less expensive and the locals would still be grumbling about the influx of outsiders but their quality of life would be better.
I think John Dewey had the right idea. A well educated populace is necessary. But, public education is a mess right now.

I'm under the impression that Denver (and Boulder) already have. The Raleigh/Durham metropolis certainly is, too, because it's not just Raleigh. In fact, although Raleigh is the largest single city, the conglomerate of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, Carrboro (not to mention Knightdale, Zebulon, Garner, and Clayton to the East/South), has been thriving for a looong time. The tech presence has only been growing quickly over the past decade, but Cisco, IBM, Netapp, Microsoft, Google, Citrix, Redhat, Allscripts, and many others all have significant presence there. This doesn't include non-tech tech, like Genband, Gemalto, Cree, and more, or all the biotech/pharma there.

We lived in Cary for 13 years until moving to San Jose two years ago. There are many reasons we miss it.
きゃ is not きや as in "kiya" but きゃ as in "kya" - the i in き becomes silent, きや would be something else. For example, 東京 isn't pronounced「とうきよう」but 「とうきょう」.
I think this might be a misplaced assumption.

Historically I think it has turned out that machines/computers are really good at jobs that people think are hard, but really bad at jobs that people think are easy.

Machines are great at doing precision machining, which is hard for humans. But they're terrible at walking, which most people can do without difficulty.

Not to discredit anything you've said, as on the whole I agree with you. But movie tickets are nearly twice as expensive in Australia. [0] [1]

And a popular videogame can be wildly more expensive. MLB The Show 2018 for instance is $60 in the US and $100 in AU. These prices are outside that which is explained by the current exchange rate.

Yes, you are being paid more. The price of living is also drastically higher there. I think there are better case-studies than Australia.

The stale data seemed to be partially a result of the software glitch. Therefore it's not clear at all that adding a "routing guidance" model on top of the same data would have been any better solution. The captain already established his own route given the same, largely wrong, data.

What they needed was hourly updates, which they had from the other service they subscribed to, which was ignored by the captain. Despite the staff being fully aware.

And the captain and staff should always be reading weather data from two sources anyway, for redundancy and accuracy.

These guys had plenty of information but over-relied on one which was 6-12hrs out-of-date at the worst time, which no indication it was old data.

These are solvable problems that have little to do with tiered pricing or a cheapness on part of the company. Both by the above redundancy and the weather company dating their data, and fixing software bugs for such critical software.
The history of the internet is like a plane sweeping a metropolis starting in the sky. Each epoch intersects a number of buildings, and the level-set it creates can be seen as a representation of the demographic that used it in that instance. At first the plane only touched the very highest buildings. These people are all mostly comfortable and well off. What has fundamentally changed in the past few years, however, is a phase shift as the plane has reached further and further down towards the ground. Look around at street level in a city and what do you see? Buildings dedicated to social security, hospitals, less-well-off individuals, people on disability, and more diversity than the ecologically narrow space above.

It reminds me of a quote by Obama: "Government will never run the way Silicon Valley runs because, by definition, democracy is messy. This is a big, diverse country with a lot of interests and a lot of disparate points of view. And part of government’s job, by the way, is dealing with problems that nobody else wants to deal with."

Good question... Maybe:

1. I don't think people have thought about it enough. I know I haven't. I think part of the reason is AT&T et. al. seem "inevitable" whereas Facebook is conveniently "quittable".

2. FB's lack of privacy has been discussed in the open and in the news recently, making it stand out.

3. (One of) FB's goals is to sell you to advertisers...
Don't ISPs like Comcast have access to orders of magnitude fewer users? I think it has to do with scale and the fact the Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data and not, it seems, Comcast data. Overall Facebook is just the focal point of the ire. The ire though is really not Facebook as such but rather unregulated data collection by private companies.

Exactly, Blockchain is now 10 year old technology, with a lot of implementations and technologies built over it.

TCP has its root in 1974 technology [1], and it was not until the early 90's that it started showing its potential.

The key to Blockchain technolgoy is the proposal of what it can solve (trusted transactions in a trustless environment). I like to see Blockchain as TCP/IP: It is going to be the foundation of bigger and more "user friendly" protocols and systems. (golem.network, storj, filecoin, eos). At some point we will get the "HTTP" of Blockchain, and over that, we will start having the "Google"s and "Amazon"s spawning as well. But if you think that, it took Amazon 20 years (1994) before TCP was "invented"... then the timing for Blockchain technology is going quite well.

This example doesn't survive even a shallow consideration.

The National Enquirer isn't piped into our smartphones all day long, mixed in with notes from friends, repeated on local TV news stations, and broadcast over FM radio. They've never put the money into figuring out how to manipulate people into consuming their content as often as possible.

As the whole anti-vaccination problem has clearly shown, people aren't equipped to sort out fact from fiction all on their own, despite (or maybe because of...) living in the most information-rich society in human history.

However, a large enough group of ill-informed people is sufficient to force social change or even incite violence and stoke the fires of xenophobic hatred. So it is a problem that needs to be addressed; it's wrong and morally lazy for intellectuals to lean back and say, "well, free speech, and people will sort themselves out anyway." There is an imperative here to resolve this new problem our society has.
