I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. Even prominent Bitcoin promoter Fred Wilson admitted that Bitcoin wasn't viable as a currency: https://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

A couple years back, an NYT writer tried living on Bitcoin: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/16/nyregion/new-york-today-l...

It didn't work. It doesn't function as a currency. Whatever the intention, it's a speculative, high-volatility commodity with no use value traded in an unregulated market.
Which ironically is one of the underpinnings of Marxism.

The irony is in a Bitcoin investor and Marxists sharing some economic common ground for their beliefs, since otherwise those groups rarely have much in common.

Good. California's lockdown is indefensible in light of new antibody evidence and ongoing economic carnage.

Prediction: nobody gets arrested and production continues. Continued panic about the virus is driven largely by clickbait media and social media. These forces seem terrifying due to their volume and ability to cancel random individuals, but they wither in the fact of real threats to livelihoods. Sometimes, all that's needed to defeat a bully is standing up to him and saying "no".

If California arrests Musk, it'll be the starkest example yet of the state punishing ambition and success while rewarding fear and mediocrity.
I have a 2011 model Mackbook Air. While it is not the best or powerful laptop I've used, the only problem it gave me so far is the power chord (which I had to replace). It is still working after all these years.

I am not a Apple fanboy - I hate that Apple makes shitty decisions (soldiering everything, removing headphone jack from phones, removing ports...) and everyone else copies them. That said, they do make good stuff, at least compared to others.

My next computer is likely going to be a windows one though - Thinkpads and Dells are much more value for money than Macs.
NYC has five counties and still has some vestiges of county governance like sheriffs.
And that's not the worst of it. Here's what I really hate:

- Search page and eventually find the recipe.

- Start making recipe. Up to my elbows in ingredients.

- Glance over to see the next ingredient I need, but there's now a pop-over I need to dismiss before I can see the recipe.

- Look for next ingredient, and it's scrolled off the screen because one or more adverts in the page have reloaded and have different sizes.

Most recipe sites have a nearly unusable UX.
> BTW if you don’t wear a mask and go out without getting within 6 feet of anyone, you’re not opting out of California guidance.

Exactly, this is the type of half-assed measures that may be preventing our decline in cases. (If it's not, and there is good evidence of exactly what types of activities California's continued plateau of cases is coming from, I would be very interested to read about that).

Unless you're in a very rural area, you can't possibly be sure that you won't have to pass within 6 ft of someone when you go outside. A single other person walking on the sidewalk with you is going to inevitably be less than 6 ft away. Not to mention that the 6ft advice was just ballpark to begin with, and the virus can seemingly travel further in e.g. the slipstreams of a runner or biker's breath, or even hang around in the air. Masks should be required even outside during the Phase 1, full-lockdown phase. It's a such a minor additional inconvenience for people.
For stuff like that, I think that I keep the intuition without having to write it down and review it later. But I could be mistaken. If I don't use the intuition often enough to keep it available in my mental toolbox, then I don't use it often enough for forgetting it to be a major loss.
Ah, good point. Thank you for mentioning non-linearity. This has helped clarify my novice thinking on this.

Yes, supply growth. A semantical distinction not used in any other asset class so why here? Maybe it does better help someone understand, here's to hoping.

But in any case, BTC does get burned in a variety of ways - immovable unable to be spent - in predictable ways based on the poor but improving user experiences. When it isn't burned, people look at the days destroyed metric to understand the actual supply.

This was a couple lab, both professors were intense, but yes once they had a kid the husband started working from home more. But that didn't mean he worked fewer hours. We would typically take turns being on phone with him till 10 pm every day.

I'm not advocating it to anyone who hates this. I just want to say that I didn't mind it, I liked it as long as I was working on exciting things, and so did my professors and most other professors that I knew for that matter. My professors didn't have burnout or mental breakdowns, I didnt. Some of my labmates did though, and they quit.

I do not condone how my professors did things, they were abusive for sure. But that was fairly independent of the work ethic if you ask me. Most biology labs that went on to produce Nobel laureates or path breaking vaccines are similar.

Also please go revisit your literature on women having kids after 40. It's not nearly as bad as you might think it is.

I'm a woman and was called a hypochondriac until I got the right diagnosis at age 35. I'm skeptical that hypochondria is as common as people seem to think. I think people with real problems that aren't easily identified and being dismissed is probably far more common that actual psychosomatic illness. Probably somatopsychic illness is the real explanation in many of those cases.

I keep reading people asserting this, and I assume it's because we believe that a virus that becomes less lethal would have an evolutionary advantage.

But, wouldn't lengthening the incubation period also be a successful evolutionary strategy regardless of lethality?

It seems to me that there are many possible strategies that a mutating virus might gain an advantage and we shouldn't just assume that the only one that they would use would be to become more mild.

Luckily, sars-cov-2 seems relatively stable.
I've spent much of my stay at home where the nearest grocery store that had order ahead was 27 miles away and had a 5 day order ahead time (which was more or less expected).

Yes, a handful of restaurants have pickup orders but there are ~4 within a ~5 mile range, and they have the best food without going that 27 miles.

It's my perception (in part from the long order ahead times) that grocery and food delivery have gone up in areas that offer them and that modern urbanists that regularly cook at home (or even go to the grocery store only once a week) are a minority.

Based on the tone of the parent, I think we can probably agree his interest is more about deriding those who are involved in cryptocurrencies (whether they won or lost in the market) than offering a warning to protect newcomers.

Like most, you have trivialized the use cases in places like Venezuela and Zimbabwe where the state backed financial system has failed. With the current state of technology, Bitcoin has no ability to replace the global payment network. Claiming that means it's a failure that hasn't lived up to anything is hyperbole. The system's very existence and self maintenance after over a decade is impressive enough to me. I also believe the financial utility of a new asset class with new properties is interesting and useful on its own, although I doubt the layman would agree.
I feel this way but about `prettier.js` (as opposed to eslint.js) instead.
A surprisingly good UX for recipes is Google Home. Ask it for a recipe, and it will ask if you want directions or ingredients. If you ask for ingredients, it will say them one by one, and pause between them until you ask it for the next one. My son has used it to great effect to make pancakes.

Sure, but presumably the miners leaving will still want to do something profitable with their mining equipment. I'd expect to see the hashrate increase for other PoW coins. Unless there's some reason for that not to happen.
Over the last 2 months, I have lost all respect for Elon. And I have a long history of Tesla / Elon fanboi-ism in HN. I am also a Tesla owner. But the recent twitter tirade from Elon absolutely broke me. He predicted "zero cases" in April from COVID, and has simply doubled down in conspiracy theories since that tweet. Everyday he relentlessly retweets conspiracy theories about COVID deaths and concludes half truths and lies about the virus.

He also suddenly found his "Free America" spirits, while being completely numb about how the Chinese government shutdown its cities and lied about the virus.

Now it is all starting to fall in place. When I bought my car in late 2016, Elon promised FSD in 3-6 months. We are still decades away from FSD and my Tesla still randomly phantom brakes on Autopilot

This factory saga is the latest where he unleashed his followers to wreck havoc on a county health officer, who is anyways under pressure of re-opening. And of course, not to mention that he has no concerns about workers in the factory.

I think the conclusion is fairly simple - Elon is not special. He is the same old.

Sort of. As a physicist I'd also say we have different sets of intuition, different willingnesses to play fast and loose or to make heuristic arguments (for a good example, consider the history of the Dirac delta function). Certainly physicists apply mathematics; does that make them applied mathematicians? I'm not certain.

On the other hand, while I find these sorts of theorems nice results, they do not change one bit of my understanding.

Shift: How one tech startup is surviving the coronavirus crisis
"This place is a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!"

I suspect that when you are too far off the shipping lanes it sort of sucks the motivation out of you to be fast because anything you do will take either n hours ± 3 days. Busting your ass to do n/2 hours ± 3 days barely accomplishes anything. Best case you get it to 2 days because you can get an order in to your supplier before the daily cutoff.

The only thing that does reduce the uncertainly dramatically is having a relationship with other companies in the same space that allows you to borrow inventory back and forth, but one freeloader or egotist in the mix can screw that up.

Point is, I wonder if perhaps the ethos hasn't caught up with the expansion of overnight and 2 day shipping. Or was the over/under a scapegoat and something else is really to blame.
> The only point of the halvings is to be able to claim "finite supply"

The irony is that no matter what you do there will only ever be a finite supply of any currency, fiat or otherwise. It's a finite universe, so "finite supply" is inherently imposed by the laws of physics.

> practically all cryptocurrencies subscribe to the notion that early miners must receive greater rewards

That's the real objective. Like all startups, cryptocurrencies want to encourage early adoption by, among other things, FOMO. If there is no benefit to being an early adopter, no one will adopt early, and if no one adopts early, you will never get to critical mass.

It’s because they’re trying to paper over a problem that has no solution - sufficient number of people who can generate sufficient economic activity don’t want to live in Youngstown, OH.

They have to pay people to get them to live there, but they can’t simply write them a check for obvious reasons, so this is the way it happens.

This is true of many, many cities with flat terrain, hot and humid summers, and cold and salty winters.
These all are very interesting points, but I think most are centred around unemployment benefits, rather than UBI.

This pandemic made me realise how fortunate we are for living in Europe - literally any part of the eu, has done a better job at helping people and making sure they dont starve, compared to the US. Thats a great observation! Europe is indeed very close to UBI. The only issue is it finances it through more taxes on an individual’s output and is not universal.

People who want more than basics can demand it as much as they want. Thats not UBI, thats lazy and scrounging. Go get a job. Period.

The point you are making re even more taxation is also spot on - that is why my view is that instead of taxing current workers even more we instead invest in tech that leads to even more productivity growth and we tax the difference in that new productivity gain.

I dread more taxation, as it usually means more taxes for us, less for those who disproportionately benefit from increases in tech and automation, due to the current economic system.

For example if BMW automates 10x more of their assembly lines, then tax the gain in productivity but NOT at a level where it punishes said growth, rather at a level where both BMW and the taxman are happy. Money go into a UBI pot much like norway’s sovereign investment fund.

Tech can be treated like a natural resource that we all own, but none of us have exclusive rights over it, while those who successfully exploit it will get more of the pie.

Apply the same to all sorts of manufacturing, agriculture and anything else that can be automated.

The money in that pot go to everyone in the country, and this is where UBI is radically different from unemployment benefits. Everyone gets a share, meaning those already in employment will get a tax cut and those not in employment don't get the stigma associated with benefits.

Dont worry about people immigrating to the us - the very workers we automate out of jobs dread us highly skilled immigrants, as they dint see the benefits from our work - more than taking pictures with shiny new iphones - and they want us to stay out, by voting for Trump.

TL;DR I guess I have a few random ideas about an ideal world where we use tech for building a star trek like society, where basics are no longer an issue and all we do is advance our society.
Well - ETH has infinite supply.
Is there a reason you can't just use archive.org for this?
No, he was right.. what changed since then was who maintains bitcoin. They stubbornly refuse to raise the max block size past 1MB, despite Satoshi putting it in as a temporary bug fix back when the average block size was more like 1KB. Bitcoin could easily scale larger than visa with sub-penny fees today simply by upping or removing a hard-coded constant. It’s insanity imho.
Android Java is a Java 8 subset, they are still catching up with Java 8.

https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features#j8-des...

Jake Warthon was doing contributions to support newer versions, but it remains a lotto what might eventually be supported long term, thus forcing Java library authors to have Android specific versions, or constrain themselves to what all flavours might actually support.

As for SAM, yes you are right, but many Android developers only know Android Java and still think Java == 6 || 7.
It wasn't just JS, you could actually watch JPEG images becoming decoded, esp. on a computer which wasn't exactly new. Layout of complex markup could take seconds, reflowing and repainting was out of question. JS as an interpreteded language was accordingly much slower than native code. There was no way to do fast, declarative HTML in JS – and not much of a use case for this. (For much the same reasons, there was no way to have optimizing client-side JS engines, even if JS hadn't been just in its infancy.)
TL;DR It's a right bitshift

Hasn't bitcoin been around long enough that articles about it don't need to spend the first half explaining how the Bitcoin hash challenge works?

For others commenting here, "rational" is an economic term of art, not the way you use it in day to day life.

Rationality, for economists, simply means that when you make a choice, you will choose the thing you like best.¹ This is very different from the way we normally think about rationality. Usually when we talk about rationality we use it to mean sensible, or reasonable. To economists—as long as you’re doing what you want given your situation, you’re acting rationally.

It's probably a replay of what you did. I'm trying to think how the internals would be made using Javascript, but probably it's a case of recording changes to the DOM structure ("After 3 seconds, the password input field had the value 'hunter2'. After 5 seconds, a DIV appears with the the text 'Incorrect password'", etc).
Seriously? Are you saying you expect something encrypted with AES _today_ to remain inaccessible _for the next 3 decades_? I'd have a hard time finding anyone even remotely claiming that. How many crypto recommendations from 30 years ago are still not entirely 'questionable' today? 50 years? AES as a recommendation is not even half that old. The algorithm may survive with changes; but the actual encrypted data, I would not bet on it.

If you have anything that claims that AES is different enough to warrant this extra optimism, I would love to have a look.
