I stand corrected on the speed, I think the chart I referenced I mixed mph ad kmh. Anyway, we can agree roughly similar speeds, and anecdotally I will add bikes are faster in the aforementioned conditions but can go much faster.

I have no problem with downvotes, I just feel that initially a comment is warranted.

As for the weights, I will concede here a little as well. The lime scooter is a Xioami which weighs 26.9 lbs (12kgs) (which I stated), and your average bike is probably 18lbs (8kgs). I'll also give you that the braking on a bike front and back may be better than regen + back braking (at least for some control). However, I ride a much lighter, less rugged e-micro at 7.5kgs and find the agility and manoeuvrability gives much more control than stopping on a bike where you can't just put your feet down and lift.

We can agree to disagree on which is more sensible, but we should definitely work to accommodate them.
> using less electricity than the major credit card networks

I googled around for "Bitcoin vs. VISA energy consumption"; the only argument I found in favor of VISA using more is here [0]. This compares Bitcoin to the entire global banking system, including the cost of e.g. keeping the lights on at physical bank branches. It very approximately guesstimates that the entire global banking system requires ~100 TWh/year, compared to Bitcoin's ~30 TWh/year [1].

For comparison: all data centers worldwide combined use about ~400 TWh/year [2]. I very much doubt that the credit card networks account for 7% of all data center energy consumption.

I think a good way to use Slack is to eliminate channel idea. No one has to constantly monitor a channel and that's expected.

Otherwise we know we can muted a channel but we cannot just do that to some certain channel because that's where the team annouencement happens.

Email isn't good either. Email can be easily get lost and not easy to search.

To me, Slack is super useful in 2 cases:

1. 1-1 or group chat between members on same topic
2. Archive log: I pipe all the information such as AWS activity(login, spin up server, AWS cloudtrait, Audit Log: ssh in out, K8S event...)

1. is useful to discuss on specific topics on a specificed thing.

2. is useful for on-call people to correlate with something, such as when AWS personal dashboard has issue we will know, when a server is added to autoscaling pool trigger Nginx reload, we may have trigger websocket reload and create a spike...those kind of things are very useful and easier to see compare to email to me.
Yes, the expenditure of energy is a defining feature of Proof of Work security, however there is going to be a plateau.

The immutable base layer Bitcoin provides is also on a trajectory of feature completion and second layer technology will increase the amount of transactions per kWh tremendously.

> Of course, drugs will 'always be available' but it's a game of Supply and Demand - and if you can put pressure on the supply so social and economic costs raise - then you can get less people involved in the game.

That has failed miserably. By controlling supply of heroin, suppliers moved to more potent agents that are cheaper to produce and easier to import.

This is largely what has driven the thriving of the problem that you have observed.

Don’t underestimate the innovation and ingenuity of suppliers.

You have to select the country for it to show the UK results, I already wrote that (that is a kind of personalization, isn't it?). For the Zoo, I'm not sure, does everyone in UK search for and visit only that most visited one and not the one in their vicinity? Then we don't even have remotely same expectations from a Search. Do people also visit the most popular "Laptop repair store" in UK regardless of where they live? Google gives me results in my area, starting from the nearest one - of course, provided it has sufficient information about your City/Zip code etc. Let's not deny that it's extremely useful in abstract (keeping aside privacy based consequences).

I think you’re not very educated on what ISIS is if you think they are more organised than the radical right groups.

I mean, here in Europe many of these right groups and parties are even funded by a foreign nation state. They’ll call it fake news, but it’s actually in their own books. You can’t be a political organisation without having public books here, and every right wing movement in my country is mainly funded by Russia. They may have different names, but they’re extremely organised.

Maybe that’s different in America, but I doubt it, though it’s obviously harder to prove if there isn’t public records.

Just coming to this article, I find my self agreeing with you and the gist of the thread about serverless being a horrible descriptor at the same time.

> Also, I would love to hear which language(s) has a more flexible syntax than Lisp, seeing as expressiveness is one of Lisp's strong points.

I'm thinking about ML-like languages such as Elm, Haskell and Agda (to give a spectrum of examples with varying degrees of complexity in terms of language features).

> Lisps surrender the issue of syntax completely

I think I am referring to the same thing as you are when you say that they're not used like other languages, and that they are managed.

Easy enough is good, but I think we can do better!

HN is incredibly homogenious across certain verticals, crypto being one of them. The earth is flat and you'll be downvoted if you suggest otherwise. All ideas should be up for fair debate and, at worst, let the "wrong" side choose to believe what they please, unless you think your thoughts need external censoring as well.
This is so wrong that you almost start to think that the eff is somehow exaggerating this; they're probably not.

On the monetary side it's hard to say which would have been better. There were people in debt, so keeping deflation at bay was important. Then again, even if 0.1 percenters bought these, overall cost of living and consumables would be cheaper, and debt is generally dischargeable, so you could argue keeping deflation at bay wasn't really to protect the debtors but the debt holders.

All said, well considered fiscal stimulus years ago would have been most directly beneficial to "the public" among all measures.

There are enough valid id systems in place there's no need for much more, and they are not totally messed up.

Showing an ID to vote is utterly common sense.

Instead of all those voter registration campaigns that everyone spends money on ... they should be spending on 'just getting ID'. And then maybe there should be no need to even register in many cases, if you're ID w/address is good enough.

Two birds.
It's interesting that my gut reaction here is that Lion Air probably wasn't at fault, and that it had something to do with the plane. Otherwise if Lion Air messed up AGAIN a few years later, then that's just unthinkable.

> I suppose the moral is that all large organisations converge towards bureaucratic processes that waste the time of high$/hour employees and attempt to hinder all not immediately commercialisable progress.

All large organizations have a decent amount of bureaucracy around copyright and IP, but the difference is good ones make it easy and straightforward for employees to go through that process.

I kinda think its funny how the emphasis on money is being made here. While true, money intrinsically fails to have any real value besides what others think it is worth (its a fiat currency).

Money represents value, and with value we can buy other stuff that makes us happy. I would argue that money is not part of the equation here at all, but rather the stuff that money can buy. If we take your equation of M+T+Q=H then the M would be weighed differently in Nepal than in San Fransisco with its higher CoL. I, personally, would be able to live very comfortably without any money, given my physical needs are satisfied. What will probably happen in this moneyless society is that another value store would be created to transfer value in and across time, something like money but with shells or oddly shaped stones maybe.

The point I was trying to make was that money does not bring happiness, but rather the stuff that money allows us to buy. Then I followed this argument and came to the conclusion that we end up with money anyway.

Are there any advanced societies without a value-store like money? I wonder.

I would have to argue that your situation is a complete outlier and extremely unusual, especially in London which is one of the most expensive places on earth. You're also saying that you've excluded rent to get to your 10K a year number in London but that's a huge part of what you pay I'd imagine so why would you exclude that?

Do you not need to pay taxes on anything, including on the house you've purchased? Do you not need to pay for utilities? What if you are talking about a couple? What if you're talking about a family with kids? Do you not have a cell phone or internet service?

I think you have to explain this over and over because your numbers don't make sense for an actual person and maybe only make sense in a very unusual situation (yours). Blaming it on people not doing the math is pretty hand-wavy. And, more than likely I would say if these numbers do work for anyone they're probably on the youngish side and haven't built up a large amount of things they have to pay for yet.

Let's say you're in the US in an average-ish city and not even one of the most expensive ones. And, let's give you the benefit of the doubt that you've paid off your $300k house. Congrats, you now have to pay homeowners insurance at let's say $600 (on the cheap side) a year. You have to pay taxes on your house as well at let's say $8,000 a year. You've retired early so you don't get medicare or medicaid yet so you need health insurance at let's say on the cheap side $400 a month for $4800 a year. You need food too but let's say you don't eat a ton and only spend $50 a week (That's $7 a day which would be impressive). That's another $2600 a year. I imagine you like having electricity in your house and running water. Probably another $200 a month for that and $30 for gas. That's another $2760 a year. Let's say you've got a cheap phone and cheap internet and combined that's only $100 a month. That's another $1200 a year. This doesn't factor in any form of entertainment/leisure, gas for your car, car insurance, car maintenance, home maintenance, or anything frivolous and I've certainly forgotten many things.

Grand total of $19,960 a year assuming you've paid off the house, which most people haven't if they haven't gotten close to retirement age. And that's just for 1 person. If you're talking a couple then the number grows a lot. If you have kids you support then the number grows massively. And if you've invested your 1 million and get interest on that you're paying tax on that as well, which would cut into your savings.

I'm not saying it's not possible of course, but your claim that 1 million net worth gets you retirement is not really super credible for most people. And at the end you say that if you have annual minimum wage x 25 in the bank you can work fairly infrequently but your original argument was that you could retire. Retiring means you don't have to work for the rest of your life, not that you have a nice buffer and cushion.
And don't forget government policy and meddling politicians. If anything, that played one of the largest roles. Legislation meant to make "everyone" a homeowner by removing barriers to home ownership played a large role. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac policies drove bank lending in large part. Originators were writing crap and Fannie and Freddie were buying it from them at a feverish rate without a second thought.

@corv come on, even if we go with the incredibly generous hypothesis that Bitcoin alone currently uses 1/3 the energy of the entire global banking system including physical lamps at desks (!!!), it is still only providing a tiny, teeny, percentage of the value store or of transaction volume. It's not even remotely a fair comparison. It's like saying my car consumes 1/3 of the world's entire output of gasoline so it's way more efficient than the sum total of all the transportation on the planet.

> Insurance for a family is about $600/month

Where the... ?? Oh... you mention '401k', so you're probably employed by someone else. I don't think we've seen $600/month/family insurance policies that someone pays full-cost for in years. 3 years ago I knew people paying $1400-$1800, and for us, just 2, next year is slated to be $1300/month. Oh, and that's just base cost - you have a $10k deductible in there so... realistically budget $20k/year for a family with some regular medical expenses. But yeah, if a separate employer is footing some of the bill, then you might get away with 'only' ~$8k.

> It makes it seem like being a very high income household.

POST TAX $150k/year is a very high household income in many parts of the US. You're talking > $200k/year income, which is excluding 80% of US households.

I guess for sake of argument, that might still be 'low' 6 figures, not 'mid', but many of the jobs that pay that sort of money are going to be in high-tax states, and I suspect you're going to be closer to > $250k. In CA, you'd need to earn $250k for a take home of ~$150k.
Health insurance for a family is 2-3 times that.

$50k will not cover many state schools. Especially if prices continue to climb.
