Finally useful box. I do not think it is possible to stack Lego Quatro on Lego Classic Box.

Lego is a tool. I've built a ton of brick characters like [2] for my 4 years old son, they are adorable. Minifigs stale clear emotions makes me uncomfortable, I try to think of it as theater, have not managed yet.

We have construction sets at home - Fischertechnik, Eitech Construction (like Meccano), Twickto, Tinkertoy. Lego vibrant colors and unique parts puts it in another category — design — together with Laq, Artec Blocks, play dough. And Lego Technic construction is an art [3].

Finally, the ability go debase (I assume you mean devaluating) a currency is (arguably) a desirable characteristic. During crises, responsibly devaluating a currency can help a country's economy.

I've always seen this argument. But is there an example from the last 50 years when this actually worked?
You could have stated this on my first comment if you were being in good faith.

This is quite bad faith on your behalf.

Their timeline is "the next decade" ... by that time, Bitcoin will have proceeded two more halvings, which means the issuance rate will be only 1.5625BTC per block, so only about $40B per year is needed to reach equilibria.

Regarding inflation, the Fed has just confirmed yesterday their intent to increase it, they will for the first time not fight against inflation going more than 2% yearly over a period of time even...

All this money printing will end up in inflation at one point, which is also the only way to ever repay all that debt.

It's getting worse. It used to be socially inadequate highly educated geeks who thought it was funny and/or couldn't really cope with anything other than highly intelligent white males. Now it's far broader than that. Logically because non-phd's can (luckily) work with computers and enter the industry now, but it has the good and bad side effect that people who I would not have to mingle with and who would've never made it to software developer 30 years ago, now suddenly are clients/colleagues etc. This means a rather large (and growing) share of racists, bigots, white supremacists (I thought those were some kind of fringe types living in the woods but then suddenly some rather good coder starts to talk politics to you...) and such. And a lot of guys I know act like they see women coders as equals, but from their subtle (and not so subtle sometimes) actions show they really don't, even while she might have superior skills/experience.
Is there some explanation for the absence of Quakers other than the idea that children are likely to have the same religion as their parents?
Have Bitcoin supporters shifted their goal from making Bitcoin a viable currency to making Bitcoin a value store? Because I'm not seeing that in this article.

The problem with Bitcoin as a value store is the value it has. I'd argue that the current Bitcoin value is based on speculation and not on anything concrete. Oil and gold obviously have very concrete practical uses, since we can use them to make our cars move, our houses warm and our computers do something.

US Dollar obviously is less concrete since its value is based on people agreeing that it has a value - but it has a very large backing. Obviously there's a country where 300+ million people have agreed that the US Dollar has value and you can find someone to trade in your dollars all around the world.

Also, I'm not completely impressed with the comparison between gold and Bitcoin. First of all, fixed scarcity? Is this actually a good thing? And is Bitcoin actually scarce? How does hard forking affect the scarcity? And is there a reason why any singular fork of Bitcoin is the one and true cryptocurrency? Because if there's something with no scarcity, it's cryptocurrency in general.

"Software durability" also is pretty funny. I don't consider software all that durable. How much cryptocurrency has been stolen through software exploits, be it within a cryptocurrency itself or via some adjecent software, thus far?

Portability and storage for Bitcoin also sound pretty good at first. However, if you're thinking about a value storage, is portability actually that good? If I want to store $500k as an asset, I don't actually want it to be that portable since I don't want anyone else be taking it. $500k in gold is like 8 kg, so at least it's not something that someone can sneak out or take from across the world. And a safe or vault have costs associated with it, that's what I want for value storage.

Tesla already uses the established CCS standard for their chargers and cars in Europe.

That makes it possible for Teslas to charge at other highspeed chargers, but only Teslas can charge at superchargers since they communicate with the car and reject all non-Teslas.

To their credit Tesla has a standing invitation to share their supercharger network with other manufacturers, though none have taken them up on on the offer, perhaps the terms are harsh.

>In this case we have a man in his early 20s caught actively trying to meet a 13yo girl for sex.

Odd, the article describe a 24yo girl actively trying to meet a 20yo for sex, advertising herself on a 18+ website, using recent photo of her, photo in which she is well beyond the age of consent of any country on earth.
Sadly Renault is in financial struggles, deep. Zoe's were the first EV car to be seen regularly on roads. But I'm starting to see Tesla's more and more often now.

Why do you guys not use https://whereby.com (formerly appear.in), it’s free for 4 people, in-browser only, no-login, WebRTC, allows sharing the screen alongside faces.

But they made the 5+ rooms $9 per month, which is way too expensive. There are not enough competitors for WebRTC conf tools, it should be quite simple and $4-5 a month (WebRTC doesn’t incur data costs on the servers since the data is peer-to-peer).

I was looking at the issue from a more EU-centric perspective tbf. Not from the PoV of say Serbia or Pakistan.

For most of the aforementioned countries, such as Italy or Greece, in the event actual conflict happens (say Russian aggression with Chinese support/interference), the ties are loose enough that they can be severed with much less economic harm, than say Serbia or Pakistan which are apparently deeply integrated with the Chinese economy.

> The Apple cut doesn't just cover payment processing though, (in Apple's opinion at least) it also covers the costs of maintaining the app store, reviewing apps, developer tooling etc.

I understand Apple's position in this case. Yearly subscription is just a symbolic payment, and, frankly, I don't think it covers the costs of Apple's employees who spent their time verifying my org's account. So what is left are the fees from app sales themselves.

But what about apps that are free, or pretend to be free like Facebook? Their creators still find ways to make money, but in a way that evade's Apple's fee system. Why should FB and others in a better position that traditional app developers? Both groups use the same infrastructure and both should pay similar fees (although frankly, these fees are way too high, and I think everybody except Apple agrees on that).
Well done! Feels like it's missing the larger opportunity to protect other protests globally (by using a more generic/pixelated cover).

The block reward halves every ~4 years. If we assume you're correct, it means 6.25 * 144 * $11000 = $9.9 million is currently being brought in every day on average to keep the price where it is now. Again by your logic, 20 years from now after 5 halvings that same $9.9 million would support a price per Bitcoin of $352,000.
I think you’ve made a big error in your reading of this story if you got the impression that he regularly hooked up with underage girls. He regularly had sex with women, like many men. A history of having sex with women is not evidence of him being a child predator. Neither is going to meet up with someone who looks 24.

If the police wanted to target actual child predators, they wouldn’t be sending out photos of 24 year olds. It seems like the were targeting non-child-predators with bad judgement. Maybe finding the real predators is too much work.
nice. I made something similar a few weeks back at http://deafmute.me. It’s a web app that accesses your camera and covers up faces with tfjs, and you can record video by screen recording. tfjs is pretty demanding though, so it’s pretty low FPS on older phones, and I never got around to writing a Kalman filter so that flickers wouldnt expose faces for a few frames.

Sometimes it is.

There was a really sad case a couple years ago, where the FBI ran a sting on a schizophrenic teenager and convinced him to buy "explosives".

According to his mother, the kid was a disorganized schizophrenic, who could barely leave the house on his own.

If you ever watch some Terry Davis videos, you'll know that paranoia, and expression of pretty virulent racism, can be among the symptoms which schizophrenics suffer from.

I was pretty convinced that kid was unlikely to engage in terrorism if he hadn't met the FBI out on the Internet. Didn't seem like justice to me.
Most people would just assume there was some random error and try again.

Using that analogy, it would be like if Netflix let you sign up in its app (purchase the subscription without leaving the app). (The FB ads manager app let's you "place" ad orders on iOS.) Instead, Netflix doesn't let you make that sign up transaction in-app. In fact, it doesn't even link out to a web site where you can, because Apple limits Netflix's speech in that regard.
Except it's negative feedback... Which increases system stability.

> I'd argue that the positive externalities of the latter far outweigh the negative externalities of the former when deciding how to tax spacex.

This sounds like a great way to introduce abitraryness into the situation.

Not a very good defense of Net Nanny. This is reminiscent of the Prenda Law case, in which a law firm shared pornography (that it produced) on BitTorrent, and then threatened legal action against individuals who pirated the films. Those individuals may very well be willing to pirate other films, but they would have never pirated Prenda Law's films if Prenda Law had not uploaded them in the first place.

> Being convicted without having harmed anyone is a travesty of justice.

Where do we draw the line though? If you're about to shoot someone and get stopped last second, should you just walk away free to try once more?

Should we be sending the signal to possible future criminals that "you either succeed in your crime, or you get as many chances to try again as it takes"?

I think intentions, to the extent that we can be reasonably sure of what they are, should be taken into consideration more than the actual outcome of an action.

The article presents a very one-sided story of some guy who didn't mean any harm to anybody and didn't believe the person he was talking to was really only 13. Assuming that that's really what happened, the poor guy probably learned a lesson and won't be as careless again (asking for some form of ID could have prevented this whole situation).

The whole point of a trial is to determine an appropriate punishment for a crime that serves to deter others from repeating it. Anything beyond that is just barbarism.
But, this is likely a target for 5-10 years out - when the block reward rate will be 1/2 to 1/4 what it is today.

And, they're expecting significant inflation - not just the higher-than historic inflation that the Fed is now officially pursuing, but even more. So Bitcoins might have a high nominal value - but it wouldn't be as much real (current-day) value as you're implying.

For example, maybe they think Bitcoin will be $500,000/each in 2030, after 2 more block-reward halvings – and a runaway-inflation 10x reduction in the real buying power of the dollar. (That'd be an atypical 10 years historically for USD – you'd have to go back to about 1954 for $10 today to have the rough buying power of just $1 then. But not uncommon across all currencies!)

A constant value doesn't quite hydro-dynamically require the inflows of other expenditures you allege. (Perception & desirability, alone, can make an asset class more $X more valuable one day, without $X actually changing hands.) But let's assume for a moment your model is "close enough".

Then in this proposed interpretation of the Winkelvosses' 2030, (1.5625 bitcoin-per-block * 144 blocks=) 225 new Bitcoin will need to be bought/held at $500K each day: that's $112.5 million in 2030 dollars, not $450 million. But because of the 10x deflator, that's only $11.25 million in current-year (2020) value per day.

Is an $11.25 million inflow-of-value per-day thinkable?

Well, Bitcoin has gone from $0 market-cap to $211 billion (CY) in 4,254 days so far. So it's taken on an average of $49 million (CY) in increased value each day for the last ~11 years. Why wouldn't demand continue, at a lesser rate – especially if Bitcoin does turn out to be an inflation safe-haven, as it was designed to be?

>During the whole sting the same agent repeatedly made it very clear that the girl he was trying to meet to have sex was 13 years old.

No. One officer sent the man pictures of a 24 year old woman and lied to him that she was 13. That is anything but clear. I might agree with you if the police had sent no pictures, or pictures of a minor.
This argument is getting tiresome. What makes pork bellies a store of value? What makes shiny metal a store of value? What makes network effects of any kind a store of value? Liquidity is a value prop in and of itself. Trustlessness another. Network effects another. Continuity and network uptime another. Resilience and antifragility another. That's without even getting into the cross-border, censorship resistant, fully auditable, open source and international currency aspect of it.
