I just looked over your post history. You've posted a whole bunch of posts which are both legally wrong, and show either fundamental, basic reading comprehension issues with your sources similar to the one in this thread, or you're intentionally spreading misinformation. I'm not sure which. Whatever it is, it's dangerous. You made false claims about the DMCA, github's ToS, and in other threads, about the EFF.

I'll post cites to sources, and then I'm done here.
This is not an endorsement of the value of bitcoin, any more than it would be an endorsement of the value of beanie babies if such a collection was part of the assets seized.

All this means is the government is aware that bitcoins can be traded for real dollars. Its job when seizing assets is to simply perform that transaction.
Likewise, my day job has been C++ for the last decade. And it's not just in devices or games, or in OSs. Before I worked in hardware devices I worked in video pipeline stuff in Google Fiber. And before that, I worked on the ad serving stack at Google and another company before that. All in C++. A good portion of servers @ Google are in C++.

Now, if you strictly interpret the "C" in this popularity nonsense as "C", then sure. Pure ANSI C has a fairly restrictive use environment. But "C/C++" is a much much larger ecosystem.

Also get a laugh out of the people here calling C "simple". Ho boy.

The complaints about allocating a percentage of IPv6 addresses for certain usages are a bit silly. Yeah, 1.271% of the addresses are private addresses. IPv6 has 340 trillion trillion trillion possible addresses. IPv4 has 4.2 billion.
I know it sounds silly but it’s legit. Tons of stories of people driving out to buy a car, getting pulled over, having $10k seized without being charged with a crime, and then having to sue to get it back under a presumption of guilt.

Bitcoin is harder to seize under civil asset forfeiture.

That's an interesting angle in the "is Bitcoin really a currency or is it just property?" argument. What would happen if the US government seized a billion dollars worth of foreign cash?

Would that get auctioned off too? Seems like a weird auction, selling money.
The weird exterior many electric cars have is to lower the drag coefficient to increase range. This is especially true for Semis as they have a notoriously bad drag coefficient. The range for the Volvo trucks could be up to 300 km as stated in the article, that is okay for some haul distances but you need serious charging infrastructure if you are going to be charging a Semi every 250 - 300 km. These trucks will probably need 0.8 - 1 MWh batteries.

What do you even do with that much bitcoin realistically? It's dirty, so any attempt to turn it into fiat puts you at risk of being found. Whoever had it refused to touch it for 7 years, likely because they knew it was a fast-track to getting arrested.

Giving that money straight to the feds in exchange for immunity might be more attractive than trying to hide the reason you became a billionaire.
Capitalism reasonably a system of governance. Politics is all about the distribution of power, and capitalism says that certain parts of society are governed by wealth. Eg. A land owner gets to do stuff on land that they own, or the board gets to choose a ceo.

To make a clearer comparison, we could hold general elections to choose the ceo of Coca-Cola like we do for things that we call "government"
The winner of the election is Big Tech
I think there is a core truth you're point to that when you're working on the initial months of a start-up, knowledge and time to acquire it are massive weaknesses. If you're using that time to learn how to build your CI pipeline, that's probably not the best allocation of that critical time. An entrepreneur would be best served by CI practices they can employ off their own shelf and focus their attentions on the billable problem solving.

This is some quality spin, so kudos for that.

You make it sound like the government and the individual in question came to a friendly agreement, when what happened was the government discovered the person's identity and used the powers available to them to get a consent to forfeiture out of them.

>Very different than any random judge or municipal police freezing anything they want.

Not at all. Just as the authorities have to know an identity to freeze an account in a criminal matter, if they know your identity then they can compel you to give up your Bitcoin stash. You can refuse, but then you'll go to jail. It's no different than some drug lord burying their money in the desert somewhere and refusing to give it up to the feds when they come.

People keep pretending Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is magic and immune to real world pressures, and keep getting rude awakenings when they learn it's not.
Also still running my 3770k desktop. Also the original build with the exception of replacing my existing GTX680 with a 980 a year or two in.

Amusingly, my thoughts of upgrading were initially triggered by wanting new storage. I currently have the original 250GB SATA SSD I put in originally, along with a handful of hard drives from various older systems. Motherboard doesn't have an M.2 slot and I was thinking, hmmm...I bet there are a lot of things I can't upgrade at this point.

Waiting on these new Zen 3 CPUs to be available, but not in a huge rush since I also can't get my intended 3080, so we will see which comes into stock first. It will be a nice bump to a new gen CPU, DDR4, and a few gens of GPU once I can actually buy the dang parts. If they were around I would've built the thing a month ago.
Plenty of rich people drive or fly across the country all the time "carrying" $1b worth of assets. They're called bank accounts, and you can access them with these things called "check books" and "debit cards" that you can use in infinitely more places than you can transact Bitcoin or other crypto.
Good points, especially about the lack of documentation. Regardless of the type of interface, people need references to go with them.

Discoverability can mean more than discovering features of the app too. To me, I think more about discovering information contained within it, seeing things I wouldn't have noticed in a command line experience. In a complex system like server automation, there's actually a lot of potential value in GUIs making it easier to see correlations between things or notice problems or discrepancies before they become bigger issues.

I've been a command line-first user since the 90's, but I would hesitate to recommend this over other solutions specifically because of the lack of GUI.

What about the fact that Visa and Mastercard are accepted internationally pretty much universally for transactions, whereas what you're talking about would be more likely analogous to the UK Faster Payments Service (though state backed). It's fantastic, however for buying a coffee tapping a contactless card that's also accepted in most other countries is much nicer. Perhaps with mobile wallets and being able to scan a QR to pay for stuff or using NFC could be equivalent in ease-of-use.

I have to think that if this form of energy was practical, humanity would have gravitated towards using it in the 3200 years since the start of the Iron Age.

Very interesting! The ECT (Eastern Continental Trail) links Pinhoti Trail with Florida Trail (through some road walking in Alabama) and further north part of Benton MacKaye Trail in Georgia until Mt. Springer where it takes on the AT.

Given that he made it to Georgia on December 1st, and that the A.T runs through 76 miles of Georgia, if he made it to where he was found dead by foot along the ECT, the mileage breakdown from where he was last seen would be:
76 (Georgia A.T) + ~300 (port of BMT) + 335 (PNRT) + 220 (road walking in Alabama) ~1000 (FT until Big Cypress NP) = 1931 miles from December 1st 2017 until the day he died (in July 2018 I assume).

In total, we have at most 8 months (minus the days that have passed since his death), which are ~240 days. Most hikers will take a day off ("zero" as in zero miles) once a week or so, so that could make it 205 total hiking days.
His average mileage in that case would be 1931/205 = 9.4 miles a day, which is very close to what his max mileage was reported to be!

The trustee actually sold bitcoins during the 2017 run up in price and secured enough funds to pay off the cash value of the bankrupcy.
At least there is no reason not to. You get the very best gaming performance + the best multithreaded performance on a consumer platform. Only the price speaks against that choice. 5900X and 5800X are more reasonable alternatives from that perspective (still very strong).

> If your team really knows what they're doing and can take advantage of the flexibility without creating a mess, they can let you move really fast and make elegant DSLs and so on. [..snip..] I never thought I'd say this before, but I would have been happier stepping into C++.

Actually, I find Nim language [1] to be a great alternative to C++ as far as compiled, statically typed, high performance modern languages are concerned. Moreover, Nim's meta-programming capabilities (generics, templates, macros) are second to none for creating elegant DSLs. And its syntax makes Python developers feel at home. Preempting questions about garbage collection -- Nim allows to switch off GC and manually manage memory if a programmer so desires. Or you can manually manage memory in some critical parts of your program while letting the rest be garbage collected.

They are indeed compatible, as are most modern music-notation programs. You can transfer music between them using an open standard called MusicXML. But MusicXML isn’t 100% lossless, so you might need to tweak your music upon importing into a new app (mostly presentational stuff).

Whether MuseScore is better likely depends on your exact needs. What’s your end goal — preparing music for printing? Just jotting down ideas? Composing and hearing high-quality synthetic sounds? Creating instructional material? Sharing stuff easily online?

I don't hand wave away this use case, but it is a much smaller amount of volume compared to domestic payments. As instant payment services sponsored by central banks roll out, the hurdles become lower for cross currency/international transactions. TransferWise already does a swank job interfacing with antiquated financial infra for cross border transfers and payments, I imagine that you'll see more competitors and possibly even native integration with central bank apps for cross border payments as improvements continue. It's all messages (ISO 20022) on a bus or in queues after all.

> is there a clear enough framework for what companies one can acquire?

There are clear enough general goals and a factors to consider, I'd say. Those goals being that transactions are prevented based on if they are anti-competitive (limit competition in some way), and if the purchasing company has significant market power.

The sticking point though, is when those general goals are passed or not.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, to my knowledge you're correct.

You don't get any practice. That's the problem. Online dating is a distinctly different game from dating. And the problem is that sooner or later it will have to turn into actual dating. But you are being filtered through an unreasonable and non-working filter.

If you want practice and opportunities, go out and and try yourself in bars/clubs. I know it sounds scary and and even superficial but it's humane and it does work. I know, I've been there. My social circle never worked for this purpose, especially not after high school. I've tried online dating about a decade ago just to find that it's completely dysfunctional (it was, even back then!).

However, talking to actual people in bars was always fun even if scary at first (I like that environment a lot, so that might be a factor too, others may work for other people). Heck, even a rejection feels real and less upsetting than online. Not to mention that even the rejections are waaay more civilized and a lot less likely. I used to keep thinking about how to fix online dating back then and one of the problems is that socially unacceptable behaviour is not only goes without negative consequences there but it's actually the easy thing to do. Thus no surprise the whole thing ends up being toxic pretty quickly as people constantly annoy and provoke each other through this.

E.g. if you start to talk to someone in a bar, even if you say the most boring thing possible, they will almost never just turn their back on you and don't respond. Even a quick rejection will probably include a smile and a response like "no, thanks", or "I'm with my friends", etc. But, at least in my experience and my case, that would be below 10% and the other 90% would be at least a short conversation. Which just feels good. Compare this with what you get online. (In my case it was, again 10 years ago!, the reverse or even worse. I.e. over 90% no response. Same person, same looks.)

I have a friend who is very good looking (and I mean it: girls turn around after him in the bars or straight walk up to him) and even he doesn't have too much success online. I mean he does get matches, probably a lot more than e.g. I would get, but then he usually runs into dates not working out, girls looking vastly different than on the profile picture, etc. This just doesn't happen IRL.
