Why not both? Why the debate here when clearly globalization and currency debasement has an impact on society. I'll go ahead and add technology to the list. Did the information age cause a disconnect between productivity and wages? Perhaps tech + globalization ensured that we have sort of a two tiered system in the west, where information workers have largely benefitted and seen their wages and quality of life go up...but there have not been corresponding booms in the manufacturing sector to support these developments because that labor has been outsourced to developing countries?

The late 40s through the late 60s were amazing economic booms because of a small event called World War 2.

It was removed because it gave very little flexibility in monetary policy, and gravely prevented deficit spending. This led to failure to control the business cycle, as well as inflation in general, which would have been disastrous.

If we restored Bretton Woods, 2008 would have been a complete disaster, and the current recession would be orders of magnitude worse and would last much longer. As for why control over inflation and deficit spending is helpful in recession, read Krugman, or Keynes if you like the classics.

Same thing arguably happens with humans with rotation. Our eyes even rotate in the roll axis to keep gravity aligned things upright. Most people can draw faces more accurately when copying from an upside down face than a right side up one.
Of course Bitcoin is not a socialist's ally in the long run. It's fundamentally a way to get government out of money, which is exactly the opposite of socialism. Bitcoin is an anarcho-capitalist tool.

The article rightly notes that the ability to print money is relevant here, but I think they could have expressed it in simpler terms. In short: printing money is always a redistribution of wealth. If you print a million dollars and give it to a group, you've effectively taken money away from everyone else and redistributed it to that group. The pot of wealth in the country hasn't changed size, the recipients of the newly-minted money just have more of the pot.

In a socialist ideal, this is a key tool because it's one of the main ways of redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor. You print money and give it to the poor. This isn't creating value, obviously, it's just decreasing the value of the money held by the rich, and giving that value to the poor. A decentralized value store can't do that.

However, some socialists would argue that the ability to print money in modern western powers is primarily used to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich, not the other way around. Due to this, a socialist might say it's better to use a decentralized value store now than to use a centralized value store that is used to redistribute wealth in the wrong direction.

If you're a socialist, the question on your mind with regards to bitcoin should be: Is the power to print money being used to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich? And if so, is the short term benefit of avoiding this harm worth the longer-term harm of moving value out of stores where wealth can be redistributed from the rich to the poor? These are much more complicated questions: the first might be answerable with data, but the second question involves a lot of future variables which may simply be impossible to predict.
I have been getting documents with titles that seem like pornography shared with me recently as well. It is truly infuriating because I can't tell where they are coming from.

I don't think "sorry for your loss" is too gentle. Frankly I think it's perfect. They've learned their lesson the hardest way possible, and their loss is no less real than someone who took it seriously the whole time.

The point of pushing the precautions so hard is to spare people the that pain, to spare THEM that pain. What's the point of withholding sympathy now?
"Money is too scarce" is not ever going to be a problem. If the monenatry supply, as a multiple of the economy is experiencing contraction, central banks can always print more.

Bitcoin, in this sense, is once again solving a problem that nobody has.
it's also pretty a bad user experience when you do have a shared link and you want to make a copy(in case the source is deleted), you can't copy the directory, you have to create a new directory and copy those files instead, if your shared link has quite a few sub-folders, you need spend quite a while to do that manual copy.

Yep this is why they want "train captains" (kinda like the DLR has) rather than requiring a fully-trained driver in a cab at the front.

IIRC there is something like a 6 year waiting list to become a tube driver because they do a 36 hour week for £55k a year (up to £100+k for some) with over 40 days paid holiday, and can retire on a full pension at 50 years old (1)

It seems like a ludicrously cushy job and I 100% put it down to those "damn unions" essentially blackmailing TFL by always threatening to strike at the busiest times. I don't blame them,but I don't think that the "damn unions" argument is unjustified when it comes to Tube drivers and there near-constant threats to go on strike for the most rediculous things that any reasonable person would agree were legitimate reasons (such as when a driver was sacked for repeatedly failing drink-driving tests (2), or another for a driver who repeatedly drove through red signals (3)). These are potential disaster near-misses, yet the tube driver's unions use them as more leverage to threaten a strike and squeak out a bit more pay and a bit more holiday. And when they are not doing that, they're frankly taking the piss and threatening to strike over not being able to make a cup of tea (4)

Don't be afraid to use that feedback form. You're not required to say nice things on it.
I don't know. It seems like whenever a company needs to have data shared, it by default is siloed. Yet when a company needs siloed/segmented verticals, they are shared with no boundaries. You rarely hear about companies that have done it correctly, yet everyone has worked for a company that does it badly.
> Private forms of money were created in order to help alleviate the extreme inelasticity of gold-backed currencies, which the US abandoned in 1971. So Bitcoin would have all the issues of the dollar from 1944 to 1971.

Which is when it began it's World Reserve Status, and was the reason why Capital Markets functioned and helped rebuild the West, and Japan, as well as led to the highest increase in Social Mobility the World had ever seen at that point and led to the emergence of the World's sole Super Power.

I'm an Anarchist and I want to do away with the notions of Nation-states entirely, but even I cannot help but take issue with your framing of what the US Treasury did by identifying those desirable qualities and attributes as 'issues.' The issues emerge when reckless abandon is applied to what was semi-sound monetary policy and you get the perversion of Modern Money and the corruption of Markets that lead to its continual inflationary based asset bubbles and crashes because of cheap/hot money.

Monetary stability is what should be desired, and for that you need a system incapable of the whims from Human Corruption.

Also, I disagree, if Bitcoin lives up to its potential it remains the only really Multi-planetary monetary system in existence. Nothing else even comes close, if you want to try this experiment just try sending money during non-business hours, on a weekend to a person not in your network.

So, BTC is hardly constrained to your confines.

Thanks for explaining that clearly. I've always been so baffled by people who claim that some society didn't have a concept for zero, as if "inventing" zero marks some major advance in intelligence.

Every culture has a concept of "nothing" which works for zero. The ancient Greeks debated over whether nothing was a number or not, but that's just a semantic splitting of hairs.

At some point a symbol for nothing becomes useful so you invent a number-like notation for it. But that's just a matter of convenience. It's not some great conceptual leap.

Bitkeeper, which early git developers were familiar with, did use master in a master/slave relationship. While git does not enforce such "hierarchy", there remains an association (both in how we use the word outside of the context of git as well as historically in how the word was used by predecessor SCSes).

> master/slave has been with us since forever

"Tradition" or "we've always done it that way" is not a great excuse, especially when part of the problem is systemic papercuts. It's not surprising that systemic issues rely a lot on "tradition" to do their dirty work.

Whether or not you agree with the particular etymology/association being questioned, the very point of questioning it is whether or not this "tradition" is worth the pain of systemic papercuts. We've got a lot of other useful words, we don't have to keep using ones that cause papercuts just because of "tradition" (whether or not you personally suffer from those papercuts).

> Renewables today are displacing energy 1:1. So, directly offsetting the fuel that would have otherwise been burned.

Except they are not. Otherwise Germany wouldn't be one of the dirtiest electricity producers in Europe.

I don't know why EE supporters keep ignoring the fact that any electricity not produced by wind and solar despite being needed will be produced by gas or coal which is why Germany is massively investing into new gas plants and a second gas pipeline to Russia (Nordstream 2).

You cannot solely rely on wind or solar which are intermittent and have a low energy density.
When I was learning programming, one of the beginner's exercises was to implement addition, subtraction, and multiplication of natural numbers "by hand" (division wasn't covered). There you learn to formalize the grade school algorithms you know by heart into concrete code, a necessary mental process for beginning programmers.

At the end of the session, the teacher asked us to try the same with Roman numerals. That was when I knew it's significantly harder.

I rode the Las Vegas Monorail, which is automated. It is also elevated. When it gets to the end of the line, they tell everyone to exit the train. Well, I didn't (hey, there's no attendant to make me...)

They then switched from one track to the other. This involved moving down past the station to this stub of track that just ends in midair, with absolutely nothing except the control system to keep you from going too far and crashing down 15 or 20 feet to the ground below. That was... a bit nerve-wracking. It all worked, and they don't regularly fall off and crash, but... I don't think I'd do that again.

But yes, they're automated, and it works, and works reliably.
When I was in high school, there was a discussion in either a science or math class about why manhole covers were round. One kid just didn't get it. He even made a paper model. I took his model, and then inserted the lid into the hole diagonally. He facepalmed, and fully understood.

What I don't understand is this article though. I gave up on it shortly after talking about ingesting raw sewage.
Socialists, at least of the libertarian sort, tend to oppose both unaccountable/centralized political and economic power.

Any unregulated and unconstrained reputation system tends to lead to Zipf-type distributions. What that means for an economy is extreme power at the high end and lots of poverty at the low end.

Thus either there would be no control at all of the economy, or that control would go to the whales by virtue of their very gravity.

The former would be bad, because the system would effectively be blind to many things that political power handles (e.g. externality). And the latter would be worse, because there's no reason to believe that these powerful entities would care about the powerless.
If the initial systems were written well, it could be self sustaining enough that it could run with an incompetent staff for quite a while.
For those interested in reading further, the ideal (unloaded) shape of an arch isn't a semicircle, but a catenary.

It sounds so simple: so hangs the chain, stands the arch. Took until Hooke in the 17th century before that was written down, though there are earlier (15th century) examples in architecture.

The Romans were still working on the Greek ideology that the circle was the perfect shape. Not to belittle what they did, but the key advances were really in concrete and having an authoritarian empire giving unprecedented resources to public works.

Your rumors are untrue. Germany has one of the best reactor designs (the Konvoi) which was the basis for the new European Pressurized Reactor (EPR).

This sounds like Google Fibers, and it'll be pretty groundbreaking if this happens. It's basically an elegant, and extremely scalable way to do N:M threading which obviates the need for async in a lot of cases, and all the debugging complications that result from that. Your code looks "linear" and feels "linear". It's easy to debug and understand. Yet you get to have essentially as many threads as you like within each process, and you have effective, useful patterns to manage those threads, and reduce the opportunity to introduce threading bugs.

That'd be one of the most welcome additions to the kernel in years IMO. And the change is fairly minimal.

From doing many sales negotiations with companies, my experience has been nobody is _happy_ to modify their contracts. Full stop. They can be convinced to do so if you've got appropriate leverage, but time with lawyers is expensive, and hard to automate (currently). Employment contract changes are not the same as commercial contracts, nor the same as IP arrangements.

The Zoe has a short range in part because when it was first designed batteries were relatively low in power density and very high in prices. When batteries improved on both of these, the range was upgraded.

Battery density and prices are going to continue to improve, and so we can expect the Zoe will be upgraded in the future. And the battery progress means that larger and longer-range cars will become affordable to a broader public in Europe and elsewhere.

The investigators should ask exactly for the smoking gun, but they need the smoking gun to know exactly what to ask for. Imagine if when asking for a warrant the Police would have to say "we are looking for a knife on the left side of a shoe box under the defendant's bed". Oh the knife is wrapped in some tax returns and blood work results... bummer.

You don't need to go much farther than your average internet search to see that it's nigh impossible to search so narrowly that only the best result comes up from the first try and doesn't contain any irrelevant information. And that's before considering that unlike internet searches companies go through a lot of effort to intentionally poison the well and mix up the now known search words throughout a big volume of irrelevant information to prove their point. This is what this request is about, buying that time.

As I already said, you can't not spot the irony when a company insists they need very broad access to your data to monetize it, but complain when regulators need access to their data as part as an official investigation.
Germany needs 1.6 TWh of electricty per day. If you know the caloric value of methane for example, you will be able to calculate the amount of methane you need to synthesize to just store the electricity of one day which will be roughly 3.2 million gas trucks (45.000 liters each).
