I think you missed my point. If survival of human groups generally occurred at the tribal level, i.e. either a tribe successfully cooperated and survived or suffered excessive discord and died out unless they were adopted by a different tribe, the benefits would not rely just on direct actions within an atomic family unit. The group had to have enough genetic diversity, or invite enough in, to prevent disease from inbreeding but generally most of the tribe would be somewhat related. The "math" surrounding just caring about whoever has 1/2 or 1/4 of one's genetic material may not be as important as the survival of the larger cooperative group. All of those little selfish increments might not matter if isolated, catastrophic group collapse rendered them nil. I think you are trying to over-simplify the scenario. Other traits point to increased cooperation being crucial, such as the idea that concealed ovulation attenuated direct male competition during fertile periods. Even in The Selfish Gene, Dawkins describes game theory situations where certain ratios of populations are stable, like the simplified hawks versus doves. In the same way, there may have been a stable ratio of homosexual tendencies or sexual flexibility that acted as a cooperative buffer, as they would assist in child rearing in the same way that you mention grandmothers. Trying to boil it down to just grandmothers because they might have the largest genetic "interest" is overly reductionist. It's not just an addition problem. And bonobos are a great example of all with all sexual bonding being very close to us genetically. Who's to say that our cultural notions of what homosexuality entails translates across to thousands of years of pre-historical culture?
It is far from clear that Bitcoin will likely ever reach $70,000. That implies an approx market cap of $1,200,000,000,000 or more. Would Bitcoin ever be useful enough or generate more value than Google or several Big Energy companies combined to justify and sustain that valuation?

This doesn't cancel the concerns, though.

You can have bankruptcy and have little to no debt for years. A foreclosure, repo, or eviction can happen for various reasons. Maybe you simply got sick and were missing work. You can owe money on your house - a reasonable amount - and be stuck because you can't sell your house nor afford to both pay the current house mortgage and live somewhere else.

Some of the "debt" things are special to being poor. Lose your job and can't pay the final cable bill? Collections. Can't pay the $600 hospital bill? Collections and eventual judgement. It doesn't take a large amount of debt to have it affect your life negatively when a flat tire puts your electricity at risk of being turned off.
There is a positive correlation between cranial capacity and height, some correlation between brain volume and height, and some correlation between brain volume and intelligence within gender.

Women score as well as men on general intelligence tests, although men have higher levels of variance and score slightly higher on certain subsets (e.g., spatial reasoning). This study shows the former very well - although men scored slightly better on a verbal-numerical reasoning test, the results were statistically insignificant (p=.45).

The relationship between body size, brain volume, and general intelligence only appears to apply within a given gender, and not between the two genders.

As far as I can tell, all of this has been known for a long, long time, so I don't think anyone's feelings are going to get hurt from a study that looked at brain volumes in older (44-77 year old) adults in the United Kingdom.
I wondered a lot about this in my teenage years; everything happens because of physics and chemical reactions, so why would humankind be any different? I tried to finf the answer to the question and my final conclusion was that regardless of whether this is true or not it would simply be too boring for a world to be like this.

From poring over stuff from this milieu, I figured out how I could change grade records at my school. I never did it, so I don't know what would've happened if I got busted.

I take a third option. Viewing the world in terms of first principles. Evaluate events not in terms of what is said, but only by what you know to be undeniably and absolutely true and then those principles' logical connection to other events. To take a very controversial example, let's consider Assad gassing his people.

I know for a fact that there was an attack of some sort - this is not in dispute by any party. I also know that Assad had been steadily regaining complete control of his nation - again something that's not really in dispute. I also know that Assad and his forces are capable of highly effective conventional attacks with minimal international issue. And finally I know, and I know that he knows, that chemical weapons would likely spur international outrage and risk dragging outside players (such as the US) into his conflict, which could turn everything upside down. The conclusion I draw is controversial, but makes infinitely more sense than what my trusted third parties tell me I should believe.

And maybe most importantly, I also accept that I could be wrong. There may be evidence or information, that would qualify as first principles, that I'm not aware of. It's also possible that somebody acted in a completely irrational and self destructive way for no apparent benefit. And as new information comes to light, I'm happy to change my views. I find that people who rely on third parties are generally not all that well informed on what they're talking about as pundits tend to focus on pathos over logos. And I think this ignorance is what drives people to double down on their views as a sort of defensive mechanism - this is probably playing a major role in our antagonism towards each other on controversial topics.
> I'm impressed you are committed to being open about it, but I hope during that talk you tell them to start passing and help them learn how to if they need it.

It comes with a social cost, but I'm enough of a "personality" that who I am is going to come out regardless. There's no point in being anything but honest, but it (being too different) has cost me my job two times. If you're at a good place around good people it's not a big deal.

As for the whole "lumbersexual" thing, it's sort of like putting on blackface, as far as I'm concerned.
Perl is a little older than Python. Most of the ideology of Python was a reaction against Perl (https://wiki.python.org/moin/TOOWTDI). Python has always tried to be as good as Perl on everything. I use very much Perl for what it was intended: parsing files (often log files and configuration files), producing reports and launching commands (shell replacement). I have tried to use Python for the same tasks, in particular when some of the files were in xml (xml parsing in Python is nicer than in Perl). Regular expression usage is easier in Perl where multithreading is easier in Python. IMHO, the main handicap of Python vs Perl is the lack of autovivification. Python is very good for teaching (whiteboard interview) or as a scripting language around some big libraries (like tensorflow). At my work, the small glue scripts are almost always in shell or in Perl. The Python applications are being rewritten in Java because of maintenance issues (mainly caused by lack of proper typing). Python does not rule here.

DVD wouldn't have saved Dreamcast. DVD drives were far too expensive to manufacture at the time. Sony was large enough where they could subsidize the inclusion of a DVD player in PS2, selling the console at a loss. There was no way Sega could do the same; Sony manufactured their DVD drives.

The Dreamcast had a 56k modem built-in, and an Ethernet adapter was sold later on, so I don't know what you're talking about.

And Genesis was a "good" console. It was Sega's only console that was commercially successful.

The Wonder mechanic has always been like that in Civ games, and I would prefer it to stay the same. You can rely on scouting to make sure no one else builds it. If you can't scout, you need to evaluate the risk and decide if it's worth it.
Frankly, as an outsider, your post doesn't convince me. Where's your source for (1) and (2)? I read the whole GH thread and didn't find anyone presenting credible data. (3) is even weaker; it's perfectly reasonable to distinguish between an external API and the runtime of the web (it's also fine to disagree with this distinction, of course).

Also, at least two, maybe three comments were moderated for violated the code of conduct, and the commenter admitted his language was inappropriate. So there's an argument to be made that the conversation was too heated. Again, you can disagree, but your opinion doesn't make anyone else's invalid or bad-faith.

I also saw multiple committee members discussing the counterarguments, and by the time the thread was locked it was essentially just rehashing the same points. So I find it hard to agree with your claim that they refused to hear dissenters.

Wikipedia disagrees on the enforcement start and claims that is tomorrow.

But I agree with you, the way most interpret the regulation and its sanction is not how Europeans do laws. The "administrative fines up to ..." as you can read in the text http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELE...
Those high fines are meant for large ill-meaning companies, but the small 2-ppl-SaaS that doesn't report or act on a data breach will get a slap on the wrist and a fine proportionally to their size.

This is full of classic early stage business mistakes.

- Married to the "how": app, app, app, app. It didn't have to be an app. You wanted to use technology to make people happier. There's a lot more technology than apps.

+ talking to users: well done!

+ reaching out to potential customers!: really, well done!

- not following up with customers: face palm. But that's ok, talk to another one and keep in touch!

- not using customer agreements to raise money for product dev: you should have used the banks agreement to a trial to help fund developement. The bank could have sponsored the initial build! You could have raised a little money from people based on that. Gone to an accelerator, it didn't have to YC.

- started a PhD: focus!!!! Argh. Now you're just going to half ass both.

- couldn't develop product faster enough: perhaps you needed a more experienced developer? Maybe you needed different tech. Because you were basically building a business off the back of a favour, you were pretty stuck though. You can't fire a favour.

- 9 months to launch an Alpha: this is too long to wait to get a simple mood tracking app into alpha. It didn't need to be anything more than that at this point. The fancy can come later.

- let's use ML!: NO! You do not have time for the distraction. Unless you're going to use the Hype train to raise funds.

- not useful, technical issues: fix them?

+ apply to YC: good, seeking mentorship is probably a good idea :).

- only apply to YC: all your eggs in one basket is not a good strategy.

- still struggling to articulate the idea: what did you tell the bank? That seemed to work. Mayhaps you're a little dissolusioned? Take a break tbh.

Generally great approaches, I think if you were to try again a few times you'd make it. It's evident that you have some of the right mind set to make it work.

I think you gained a fair amount of CV worthy skills and experience tbh.
All fair points - but there's no reason not to involve legal counsel in smart contracts either (if we're talking in hypotheticals about a bank being ok issuing a smart contract for a mortgage, then I think we have to make the assumptive leap Solidity developers are two-a-penny), and the benefit of the solution I proposed is that your everyday interaction with your state of the contract is more visible than it is with the current system.

My proposal is less about the legal setup, and more about the ongoing interaction with the contract, which might aid with financial education, especially around equity (see how many people are caught up in interest-only mortgages), and debt leverage.

Whether you use a ledger or not depends on how it could actually work, but there aren't many other solutions that give transparency among multiple disparate parties, without a reliance on a credit agency (which, as we all know, has caused some... issues...).

Not sure whether I'm keen on that vision of the future or not, but I can definitely see the day where physical assets are represented by some digital manifestation/token.

People support social welfare programs, but they usually don't want it in their face. Given the opportunity to do something in person, most people crumble and go about their lives as usual. It's a very rare person that takes action.
Can a product be considered a failure if it was never made available for sale to the public? This is exactly why Apple is secretive about its projects. Sure, there have been true failures like the iPod Hi-Fi, the eMate, the 20th Anniversary Mac etc. But to consider the car project to be a failure is presumptuous and premature.
It's far more common for your assumptions/thinking/design to be the root cause of any real problem in things you build than your choice of tech. It doesn't matter if you use the 'wrong' tech to solve a problem if the solution works effectively, and very often using something you know well means you'll solve the problem faster and better than you would with the 'right' tool. Those consultants were probably doing the right thing.
How can preventing competition be great? If innovative startups are prevented from entering the market because of predatory pricing, it does harm customers.

Proportionate for both. Destroying a small or micro business clearly isn't proportionate. Again firmly established in CJEU case law from previous businesses within the EU who have been hit with too severe a fine for some breach of EU law.

> I think that within a year, most US based websites will have closed their doors to EU residents

I would be astonished if that is the case. If it shuts out those not willing to play nicer with data and privacy - great! Even if that ultimately includes Facebook.

Every small business within the EU is adopting this "potential liability" without any signs of a rush to relocate outside the EU or shutting down.
So... you'll forcibly move a 20-year old that grew up in the area? It isn't like they chose to get poor education nor chose to grow up somewhere without opportunities. Generations that have passed didn't go there because of lack of opportunities or education: In fact, I'm going to guess they were there because opportunities were there at one time.

It seems really weird to imagine all these people are there through a particular choice instead of simple circumstances.
You might want to consider that the stated mission was a product of the data, particularly in the case of the heterodox academy.

Textbook strawman argument.

"A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man." - Wikipedia.

Great points. The thing is though that a double spend would harm both the attacker and all others on the network. It would weaken the trust. It is a double edged sword. You would have to do the double spend without anyone noticing and then liquidate your earnings as fast as possible. With more combined hashing power this would become very hard to do.

There are a lot of problems other than double spend with the Bitcoin. Transactions fees rise very quickly because of the block size limit of about 1MB. You can't really rely on 0-confirmation transactions. The saviour lightning network in my opinion is the wrong solution to the scaling problem. It changes fundamentally how bitcoins are exchanged and steers away from the original white paper by Satoshi. Not that this is wrong... it just becomes another project altogether.

'European' - e.g., EU - culture is still quite new in this regard, and plenty of companies have gotten very large fines for gross non compliance of other regulations/directives.

Since GDPR compliance is enforced by EU members, many small companies are exposed to (have customers in) most or all EU jurisdictions, and the EU is very heterogeneous when it comes to regulatory enforcement by member states, I think that they're correct to be worried about the ambiguity around the GDPR.

I'm not arguing against the GDPR - I'm in favor of data protection - but the if/ands/and buts (e.g., speculation) about who is going to get fined, and for how much, is uncomfortable.
