> About 9.1 million bitcoins, representing about 51% of those outstanding, haven’t changed hands in at least six months, according to Flipside. About two million of those bitcoin haven’t moved in more than two years.

Transaction volume has always been a difficult metric. For one thing, most transactions are likely to happen off-chain. That can occur in a centralized system like Coinbase. This has always been a possibility dating back to the first exchanges like Mt. Gox.

More recently, Lightning Network means that decentralized off-chain transactions can play a bigger role in Bitcoin's total transaction volume. Lightning involves two parties setting up a contract (Bitcoin has supported them from day one). This contract defines rules that allow the parties to update a private transaction (without counterparty risk) until settlement on the block chain is required. At that point a transaction is published. That transaction may represent one, a handful, or hundreds of thousands of intermediate transactions. There aren't very good ways to determine how many, and this will tend to make Bitcoin's transaction volume ever more opaque over time.

Exchanges are starting to support Lightning as a method to move bitcoin in and out.

Second, absolute transaction count doesn't take coin value or age into account. For example, I can just flip the same 0.001 BTC back and forth to myself rapidly. That would add many transactions but wouldn't reveal much of value.

An alternative metric is "bitcoin days destroyed" (BDD). BDD equals the value of the coin being spent multiplied by its age in days, summed over all transactions in a given period:

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/845/what-are-bit...

When BDD spikes you know that either old coins are being spent or that lots value in younger coins is being spent. That metric might be more economically valuable. There's a realtime chart here:

yeah, going to Princeton is to tell your employees that your family is rich, nothing about your competence or knowledge learned
Yes, it has morphed. The devs in charge of Bitcoin have purposely abandoned the idea of it being a currency. On-chain transactions are artificially limited to about four per second, and they refuse to change that. They call it a "store of value" now.

Other cryptocurrencies are working hard on scaling to the point of being workable currencies.
Once/quarter is for "broadcast" communication - all-hands meetings, email newsletters, etc. In addition to that, they should be engaging with each individual team that reports to them. For example, you might also find it useful to do quarterly team-level strategy reviews where the team presents their accomplishments from the previous quarter and discusses their team-level roadmap for the next quarter.

At the same time, senior leadership needs to get used to being "out-of-touch" to some extent. Most people who are new to senior leadership make the opposite mistake, and are far too involved in details of execution that they should have fully delegated. Too much direct involvement can deprive your managers of opportunities to take initiative and grow in their careers.
I find that to be true for myself personally as well.
Sea-Thru Brings Clarity to Underwater Photos
Sorry, it's not insurance against the world falling apart because cryptocurrencies (Ccs) have no intrinsic worth. With no internet access, no internet or no miners, you can't conduct trades (unless you give wallet PK, but then it still doesn't have worth beyond what you can actually buy with it in a post-internet world).

OTOH, vital, scarce commodities and property have intrinsic worth because they can be used or are valued. Gold, silver, platinum, diesel fuel, guns, knives, equipment, huge tracks o' land

From the begging and until now, Ccs only make sense as a transactional money analog, not an investment other than an extremely speculative (volatile) one that could lose most/all of its value anytime.

If you want to hide money for a couple of days, do some money laundering (j/k), buy some drugs (j/k^2) or send money anonymously, Ccs are great. Please don't put the bulk/large amount of your savings into Cc unless you're leaving a repressive regime or want to give it all to me to avoid taxes. }:D

I'm not saying that it didn't have a huge cultural impact.

As a distinct genre, Cyberpunk lived for maybe 8 years. It's influences are huge, but all I'm saying is that his literary contributions are few. Also in that genre, Harlan Ellison probably deserves as much if not more credit.

He gets way too much smoke for not enough fire.
But it is. It’s just that it’s made more communal.

I don’t really see the moral panic in having children being raised together in groups rather than by a dedicated or househusband.
I think that any minimum wage law should take into account the requirement of a college degree. If minimum wage were $15 nationally, then require at least a $20/hr or $25/hr minimum if the job posting requires a bachelor's degree -- not if the person has the degree, only if the employer requires it.

You are spot on about requirements. Businesses are unwilling to simply be honest a lot of the time with job posting sites. It is enough to turn to twitter DMs/networking just to avoid all of the bullshit.

>Ask anyone who has a middle of the road white-collar job how confident they'd be in quitting and getting a new one and they will laugh at you

Once you do have 1-2 years of experience in dev (nothing glamorous, I did maintenance mostly), it's actually pretty safe. All of my white collar jobs have been middle of the road and I took multiple, extensive breaks was still able to get something. There is a big initial hurdle, then you can sit nicely on a plateau. If you want to challenge yourself, there's always FAANG companies or starting your own business.

If the experience is not enough, networking can get you a position. Same for public side projects.
I'm aware of bogosort and its crazy variants, but let's not be ridiculous here. You could make any "sorting" algorithm arbitrarily bad if you'd like by doing such silly but useless things.
I totally agree with you on this. Kids can take on more responsibility than they're given today - see any generation that came of age before the last 15-20 years. It would benefit many of them enormously to do so (jobs, babysitting, driving, etc). I just think it's too easy as an adult to look back on your teenage years and project your current level of social and emotional development onto your younger self or teenagers in general.
I took a creative writing class in college. At the end of the class, we each read a section of a story we had written to the rest of the class.

I had a typed up copy of my story in my hands, eagerly awaiting my turn, but the moment I opened my mouth I realized that I had written a garbage piece of SF that was mostly S and not enough F. Devastated, I left the classroom after reading it, and didn’t return.
BTC has always had more in common with rare gemstones like Taaffeite than currencies or even metals.

No practical value, no industrial value, no means to materially change the rate of production, nothing special at all except that it is rare, only a few people care about it, and its price will always depend primarily on the behavior of a very small number of market participants.
This is insane - college is about having educated citizens first and foremost, not about whatever that might bring to a potential employer !
Then I feel that you're engaging in a double standard. The thread-starter and I both have a critique of the social construction of psychology, and your response is that the direction of the critique is "shallow" and "extra cynical". However, only the thread-starter and I have given anything of substance, and y'all have not really refuted any of it.

It's disappointing when a site is supposed to promote curiosity and yet its moderators are not only uninformed but actively incurious. You have a pattern of policing folks' tones under the auspices of poor content, but it doesn't hold up well when you post two-sentence dismissals to hundreds of words worth of original, sincere, considered thought. It makes you come across as lacking in empathy and insight.

This ain't the first time you've shown this attitude, for what it's worth. I am picking up on a pattern.
Perhaps an analogy to C's multiple declarations:

int *i, j;

i is a pointer to an int, j is an int. The * binds to the variable identifier, not to the type. Famously troublesome for beginners.
I’m in very much the same boat as you except in Canada. You can’t join most public service jobs, police... though I think CSIS and CSEC recently changed their requirements but you have to be damned good. Don’t quote me on that, however.

Anyway my conclusion is the same as yours. I’d even planned on going back part time as there were some adult grants offered but they were largely removed by our most recent provincial government in the course of a large number of education cuts.
> How much gold that exists is actively traded?

A better analogy would be: how much gold is actually being physically moved from one vault to another.
It's more complex than that. It's the miners, not the devs, on the Bitcoin network refuse to come to a consensus on what Bitcoin should be. It's like a weird 21st-century internet tragedy of the commons.
Exactly, like a currency on the gold standard. But not an asset like gold.

It demonstrates ability to learn difficult things. You still haven't answered why junior devs hired this way are somehow incapable of learning good architectural practices. You also didn't address the fact that most of these companies also interview senior hires for system design and architecture.

So I guess the big 3 Germans are over the "they laugh at you" phase and now they're in full "they fight you" mode.

I think as recent as one year ago there still were German car executives that were touting their hard-won experience of making cars for 50+ years, not realizing that EVs are mostly batteries + accompanying software that happens to have some wheels attached . Making excellent inline-six engines or quite crazy V10 diesel engines has almost no connection to all that.

For those like me looking for a comparison point:

> In some sense you can compare it to AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances. But the difference here is that Cloud Run will actually automatically scale to zero, and you only pay for resources during a request.

This seems really cool.

On the one hand, I appreciate the simplicity of serverless "Cloud CGI" as it were. But on the other hand, I have been confused why these always tie to a particular language and runtime.

Why can't I just run a binary in response to requests. I.e., real cloud CGI?

This seems made for me.

did a ctr-f and did not find "linkstash" ( https://www.xrayz.co.uk/linkstash/ )

after some research found that one to be close in some ways to what I wanted. Found a missing feature I think it was 'deleting chunks based on urls' not supported that I wanted, I wrote the developer and never heard back via email, so I gave up on it. Kept it installed as a reminder to make something similar one day.

It's been a few years and now I wonder if gmail or some similar anti-spam system didn't just blackhole the email from my custom domain and that was the issue, not a dev that doesn't answer. hmm.
It's not that it's a failure, it's that being taken out of the workforce for many years is damaging to careers. It's more than a matter of perception. Public school starts when kids are 5. If you have several kids, it could then take someone out of the workforce for a decade. While it's not impossible to recover from that, it's extremely difficult, especially at a point where you're past your prime years such as your 20 or 30s.

Perhaps a slightly different sort of science book, but I highly recommend "Foundations of Applied Mathematics" by by Humpherys, Jarvis, & Evans, the first volume of which was published in 2017, and of which the second supposedly will be published in 2019. Volume 1 is good overview of the Analysis needed in various applications, they give as examples "analysis, optimization, probability, statistics, differential equations, machine learning, and control theory". I found it useful as an overview of the theory one might need in a unified exposition, with a modern and pragmatic choice of topics and notation. Learning the topics previously from many books, all with different notations and ideas of pedagogy, can be confusing (to me at least), especially in understanding how different parts of the theory are interrelated. It even comes with computational "labs", the code for which is available freely online, something often lacking in books on numerical analysis, applied math, etc. My only complaint is that it somewhat leaves out differential equations. Definitely worth looking at! In particular the chapter on matrix calculus.
Russian here. I applaud this decision. We have a case when our government officially sanctioned a doping tampering program and has tasked carrying it out the very same organization that exists to prevent the use of doping.

Putin is a criminal and has a distorted worldview, that he is above all rules, that all the world is as corrupt as he and his cronies are, that everything can be bought, and if something goes wrong it's only because of it's a 'plot' of his enemies. The cronies he appointed to all government posts too think they are above all laws and rules, so, naturally, our sport officials are doing what they always do: lie, cheat, bribe.

It's nice that for once this behavior has blown into their faces.

ALso, one more thing about olympics: russian olympic athletes are decidedly NOT amateur athletes. They are all employed by the state, provided with very luxurious scholarships and generally earn 8-10x the median russian salary. Once they end their sports careers they usually join the corrupt russian government, by either becoming members of the parliament via rigged elections or by occupying various non-elected state posts.
There is no "regular America". It's a big diverse country. We only think that "coastal elites" aren't part of "real America" because the effect of the Electoral College in the 2016 election is fresh in our minds. Change a few historical decisions about state lines and we'd be talking about how the election of Hillary Clinton proves that middle America is out of touch with real Americans from California and New York.

I tend to think it's a good thing when people from one part of the US are able to socialize with other people in different situations. Insularity is a lot of the reason we're in the mess we're in today.

This is such a dismissive comment and misses the main point.

The main point is that these are presumably upper-middle class families. You would expect that with their higher-than-average incomes they would have greater amounts of discretionary income that they would be spending and that their expenses would be spread out across more of the economy, supporting many other businesses and services. Instead the high salaries are being captured by housing costs. Sure they're not hurting, but it is surprising that dual-income, high-earning families are basically breaking even.
Halfway down there page there are some historic example alphabets. They looked very normal to me at first, but when I looked closer, I got confused.

The capitals in the "Lombardic Alphabet" start off looking like a modern English alphabet, but I found a lot of the letters to be hard to differentiate. Capital C and capital E both have an "extra" vertical stroke on the right that closes them. The difference between a capital A and a capital F seems to be solely that the A has double horizontal strokes. Was this standard?

The Lombardic lower case letters are closer to current typography (with an additional long-s) but I was surprised that some letters seem to exist only in lower case. Were there simply no words that used capital J, capital X, or capital Z?

In the next image (Plate 67, Tymns) there are also differences between the capital and lower-case letters. But they seem to be different omissions than the first example: no capital U, V, W or X, but there is a capital Z. And the capital I (or at least, whichever letter that is between H and L) looks very odd. What's happening here?
> Because Bitcoin is (at least theoretically) a currency.

Bitcoin is many things, but pinning it as a currency is very reductionist.

It can be used as a currency, but in its current form, it isn't very practical (lighting is aiming to, and will likely succeed in fixing that).

It is IMOH very much more useful for all the other use cases (eg store of value, doing away with government brain-hared management of fiat currencies, etc ...)

Great examples! I think Gibson's work is built on roads mostly laid by Ellison & Zelazny. I think he has about 3 absolutely great books but the rest of his output is pretty unremarkable.

Why does it matter if it's the same gold?

Say a 100 people each own a 100 gold pieces. And they all buy and sell 100 gold pieces worth of goods and services per day.(10,000 gold pieces are traded) Why would it
matter if this is physically the same gold coin traded 10,000 times or 10,000 gold coins being traded once?
