I was on a jury, and I know several other people who were also on juries, and we didn't really follow the instructions. Everybody approached the case with their own point of view, and we had to argue a bit to get to a unanimous verdict even though it was obvious what the law said about what the defendant was charged with, and the defendant was obviously guilty.

Some people considered stuff we were told by the judge to disregard -- it didn't made a difference in the outcome in the case I was on, but I have no doubt it does in other cases.

The judge also warned us indirectly about jury nullification, which he said happened most often in marijuana cases. Judges mention it because they know it happens frequently.

Juries don't just follow instructions.
"consumers price goods by value, not by costs"

That is in itself a great argument for the subscription model. Consumes receive value from continued use over time, so why not fit revenue to the same shape?

This. Or to put it another way: "You know who's a more interesting person in adulthood? Someone whose parents didn't bow to peer pressure when they were a kid."

FFS. If you're a parent, you're supposed to be setting an example. Not giving in to the same impulses we ostensibly teach our children to resist.

I don't know much about this, so how does the "fabric of spacetime" compare to "field" explanations of action-at-a-distance? e.g. a magnetic field accurately predicts observations, but doesn't actually explain them.

Is the fabric is any way more real than a field?

(I didn't look to Chomsky for this; that video is just where I happened to first hear this "mechanical" idea explained, and it's still the only place.
A better citation would be the sources he cites in the video.

My main point was not about modern physics, but the history of science i.e. "mechanical".

And, for history of science, an elder respected academic is probably best to look to, anyway. It's hard to think of a specialist in history of science, because by nature it is not a hot, progressive field full of exciting new discoveries, which is what scientists usually get known for.

BTW Do have a listen to the start of the lecture, it really is quite interesting.)
It can be argued that over 50% of the value of gold is not at all related to it being able to be consumed.

Dollars cannot be consumed, or more broadly a network cannot be consumed.

Yet one can enjoy the benefits of this network and this can be seen as generating value.

Being able to do global transactions without trusting a single authority has value. How is this so hard to see?

> Sans incentives, it is NOT cheaper than other forms of energy in MOST areas.

You may be referencing old sources. For example, even though the UK's solar potential is reasonably low, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) shows that levelized cost of solar-generated power IS cheaper than MOST other forms of energy.[1]

Judging by the quote that's the amortized price. That first kWh is going to be much more expensive.
There are two kinds of stackful coroutines - fibers and green threads.

The difference is that fibers stay on the thread they were created on, while green threads can transit between OS threads. There have also been projects to cooperatively schedule OS level threads to minimise latency, but that's a bit different.

I don't know that many decent green thread implementations [off the top of my head], but an interesting one is yahns: https://yhbt.net/yahns/design_notes.txt - to me, green threads have all the benefits of coroutines but all of the downsides of multi-threaded programming.

I implemented fiber based concurrency for C++ here: https://github.com/kurocha/async. An example would be https://github.com/kurocha/async-network/blob/d1d2bf12eb2d9b... - calling read yields the fiber if it would block as implemented here: https://github.com/kurocha/async/blob/2edef4d6990259cc60cc30...

I implemented almost exactly the same model for Ruby here: https://github.com/socketry/async and if you are interested in how it works, see these projects which build on it: https://github.com/socketry/async#see-also
I think the most likely cause of his success is not related to his talent, but his focus. When I was choosing a college, I wasn’t thinking about advisors. It certainly never occurred to me to find the best guys in the field and try to get in under them. It just sounds too far fetched to be a real possibility. But it is a real possibility, of course, and the people that identify that and go for it have a remarkable outcome of accumulating advantage. It’s like compound interest. Go to the best school you can. Get under a top advisor in grad school. Publish in top journals. Work for major companies. At this point you’re surrounded by the best and have become the best. You have to know what you want early, and then optimize your ass off. I was late to the party, but the last couple years have been huge successes for me relative to previous parts of my life, and that started with saying to myself “start by applying to the very best and working down from there.”

In 2014 you said this [1]:

> I would short Bitcoins if I could find a reliable party to do it with, and it were easier to do. That doing that is so difficult is another sign how it's not a real currency.

Well, today you can short bitcoin on the most reliable future exchanges in the world: CBOE and CME. And as a bonus, you can short it at a price 10 times higher than in 2014.

Lying does not necessarily waive rights. E.g. purgery does not waive 5th amendment rights. Hence "may well still". If you know this _not_ to be case here, do share.

You mean GDPR is a massive overreach where one organization is trying to regulate effectively the entire internet? Yeah, that about sums it up.
You Are Infertile
You seem to be slowly turning to the side of it being an investment in the end.

You start out with lambasting bitcoin and crypto as nothing but a ponzi scheme, yet by the end of this paragraph you admit that

>If it develops that foundation then it will be like investing in a fledgeling industry, nurturing it until it can become self-sustaining and profitable. If those applications don't come through, it's just another scheme.

Which is exactly what it is!

I think lots of crypto debates should more accurately define their context.

Are we debating if the current price of bitcoin represents its intrinsic value?

Are we debating if bitcoin even has any value?
Yes, so in the F9 case, that only works well if NASA doesn't insist that the one crew launch per year doesn't use a super-unique rocket. Which appears to be something that the safety committee appreciates, but maybe not far enough.
As much as I dislike digging into someone's comment history, this is quite funny.
> The markets say otherwise, for 9 years now

<8 years ago, Bitcoin's market cap was less than $170,000.

> Do you ever hear regulators talk about regulating ponzies (in the positive form)?

Like how the sub-prime real estate market was regulated, or how the dot-bomb stocks were regulated, or how the 1980s S&Ls were regulated...

> what they think they know about economics from 30 years ago

How about from 380 years ago, tulips in Holland?

The one difference between subprime real estate, dot bomb stock etc. is cryptocoins are not just overinflated, but are actually completely worthless. Even Ponzi's postal reply coupons had some value.

Ads existed before tracking. DDG uses ads based on the page content, not what is known about the user. This is actually how ads were before everyone went tracking-happy.

It is a model I prefer simply because it is more inline with the content I'm viewing. I'm more willing to let those ads get whitelisted because they're more likely to be related to the content I'm looking at and less about "what do we think saratogacx really wants today based on all of the data across the web."

Yeah, but that still involves an existing industry. Just because that specific power plant doesn't exist yet doesn't mean there isn't a market yet.

It gets kind of chicken-and-the-egg, but currency didn't come before services. Currency came as a response to services, and investment came as a way to enable people to get large amounts of capital for large projects. Bitcoin isn't looking like that. It can be used for services, but waaaayyy too large of a percentage is being used to entice more investors to come and pump up the value for yet more investors.

It's pretty difficult for laypeople to tell the difference between legit investment and what Warren Buffet is referring to, where you just hope the next guy comes along and pays more. Which is why these scams keep coming back. So far, not nearly enough of cryptocurrency's value is being used to create that power plant.

Can it become a real economy? Yeah, sure. Tulips could have become a real economy too, technically.

Beautiful, sounds like my life in S. Minneapolis in 1985-2005ish. My friends who still call it home are having kids recently and they’re pretty free-range organic like this too. I’ve been thinking about forgoing a fam because of how things seem in my SF life for the last years (NoPa to Outmost Sunset). I like Oakland when I visit, like First Fridays, vibe is more relaxed. Thanks for sharing.
I don't have any fight with bitcoin. I just view it as an amazing social phenomena and a demonstration of greed and people's desire for easy money. I was chatting with someone when bitcoin was at $20k and he was gushing about how much money he is going to be making, he just needs the stomach to keep holding through 40% dips. I wonder if he had the stomach to hold through $6k. What's going to happen when/if the cost of mining goes above the value of the bitcoin?

Anyhow, let's talk in 5 years?

only in the aggregate. You might hit a particularly bad spell , or some black swan event happens just as you need to liquidate the holdings.

Stock needs management of some kind (even if it's index, you'd still need to decide when to liquidate, and seize the earnings while high rather than keep betting until you require the funds).
It's hard because they don't have the time either. Kids, soccer practice, gym, and so on.

Ask HN: How do I publish a white paper?
I came up with a few new concepts this week that seem to cover some new ground (as best I can tell) in terms of determining time complexity of sorting algorithms, as well as some new algorithms that take advantage of these concepts to be very efficient (I'm still working on the math to determine their exact efficiency)

How do I get them published? Is there a certain format the papers need to be in? Is there a certain journal I should submit them too?

I basically have no idea how to go about this and any help would be appreciated. I've never published an academic paper before and Ive been out of school for over a decade.

Thanks.
I'd say if you don't have time to compare them, don't offer a comparison. It's not doing anyone any favors. In fact that only serves to waste more of your precious time.
Youtube is the worst, because not only does it autoplay, but for the first 2s or so it's faffing around with JavaScript so no matter what you do in that time it will subsequently start playing. Like, it'll show up as "playing" and you pause it, then leave the tab, and like a second later the video will start despite your having paused it.

(for the record, at least half the time I open a youtube video I don't want it to play immediately)

What if I buy crude oil in Texas, where it’s cheap, with the idea of selling it where it’s expensive (say, Europe) ?

I’m still investing.

In fact, I could build a company around it. And if I did, and then sold stock in that company to you and you used that as investment for retirement, then you would have just validated that buying a commodity is indeed investing.

Maybe not all the time, but certainly some of the time.

By the way, you can buy some of these companies today, under tickers such as TNP, NAT, DHT, among others.

oh ok, thats a great example - many times I've had to kludge my way through doing just that with promises. thats very exciting :-)
I don't see this drift you're speaking of. I actually really want to see cryptocurrency become a real thing, it has this amazing promise of computers maintaining a sense of absolute truth that resists all falsification. We desperately need to build a new decentralized system as the internet is brought under the control of fewer people each day.

But it's not looking good so far. People need to be more mindful of how bubbles have played out in history. Realistic valuation is more healthy for a fledgeling industry than enormous, uncontrolled, and ultimately false sensationalist growth.

I think anything has value so long as there's a group consensus of value. I'm not debating that. You say a fledgeling industry is exactly what bitcoin is, but I don't think we have strong enough evidence of that. I'm hopeful but skeptical. I'm allowed to be both. And if somebody calls me a concern troll I'm going to lose my mind. I hate that term. Eliminates any sort of realistic self-evaluation within a group. Sometimes it pays to examine yourself in a negative light.

People gotta understand the possibility of it being a false promise as well as the possibility of it playing out well, but right now there seems to be two distinct and fanatical camps with no middle ground.
I get what you're saying but in this case I have to ask, can we really not get those benefits without risking lives? Would it become impossible? Or would it just take longer?

I hate arguing this position because I want to go to space physically in person in my lifetime. But it doesn't make sense to send humans if robots can do the job because space is inimicable to life and life support is very hard and expensive and heavy.

The US unemployment rate includes students, so long as they were seeking work at for at least one season of the year.

If you look at it on a month-to-month basis, it is seasonally adjusted, as students typically seek work during the summer [1].

If you look at it, the unemployment rate for 16 year old's is incredibly high---at ~16% [2]. These people like OP said, are nearly universally in schooling and would not be counted as NEETs.

I can't say though how the NEET score is calculated in Japan. If it is so strict as to only include people who have never held a job, education, or training of any kind during the year then it can't be compared to any unemployment statistic as those would typically drop someone if they worked once or gave up.

Either ways, comparing it is bad---which is what the grand-poster is getting at, so I think we all agree.

About two years ago, when our first child needed formula, we briefly considered buying from Amazon until we read about the comingling/counterfeiting issue. We decided to buy from Whole Foods instead (funny enough with the Amazon purchase recently). We wanted someplace where we trusted the supply chain, and that wasn’t Amazon. Now we use Costco (we pay for our membership, but piggyback off a family member’s prime membership although we’ve phased out almost all Amazon purchases for Costco, Target, or Wal Mart).

I would not trust Amazon for anything that you’re going to consume. You can’t trust who supplied it, and I have a great deal of skepticism that you’d be able to hold someone accountable if there was a health issue from consumption of a counterfeit product.

This may be true for some services, but I don't think it's true of the most successful services. Think about Spotify and Netflix, most users are fully aware of their subscription.
