The bank will only do what regulations require them to do. No money will be spent beyond that.

One potential path might be to find a report from the FBI that discusses the financial risks to the banks. Contact the investors of that bank and the government entities that are required to insure the bank and the parent company of the bank. Start the discussion with them about amending and enhancing existing regulatory requirements. Ensure they do not see this as a cost item but only as a marketing benefit to the bank. Depending on how deep you want to go down this rabbit hole, you could start a fund raising effort to get lobbyists to also speak to those investors and governmental insuring entities. Research if additional mitigating controls might lower their insurance costs. Maybe also encourage the banks or parent companies to partner with a set of MFA vendors so they can distribute bank branded tokens that only work with their banks. Sub-optimal, but it might encourage them as they would see it as bank lock-in. Doesn't really affect end users if all the banks do it. See if you can also get a congress member to talk to the insuring bodies.

If that doesn't work, get famous people to tweet about it and link to your initiative site that describes the risks and benefits. Public pressure sometimes works.

I should add that if you get traction on this, there should be a way for people to opt-out of this and use SMS if they want to. Just require the banks to give them scary worded things that make them double-opt-in to using SMS.

It might be ingrained these days, but this StackOverflow question asking for a package manager for C++ and not really getting any "obvious" answers is just under 10 years old: https://stackoverflow.com/q/7266097/1298153. Conan.io's first commit was in 2015.

You could also treat supply chain attacks on software dependencies like another IT security risk your company is exposed to (just like virus infection, ransomware attacks, phishing, etc) and go through the same thinking (and if appropriate other) processes to manage them. The company can then make a conscious decision on whether it's worth investing in mitigating, eliminating or accepting the risk.

There's lots of information out there on dealing with cyber security risks, e.g. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/risk-management-collectio....

(Apologies if this is all obvious, I'm just trying to highlight an alternative approach which might help you deal with the dilemma and not have to "solve" it all by yourself)

Gold has an intrinsic additional cost to acquiring that is unrelated to humans. There exist deposits that are harder to get to in the world and it isn't currently economically viable to extract them. This isn't mankind's doing it is just a truth of the world.

Bitcoin adds artificial scarcity that isn't intrinsic. And unfortunately society as a whole pays for that additional scarcity by increasing the resources spent mining blocks.

I am not saying this is an unacceptable trade-off all things considered. I just think the gold analogy is flawed.

> C doesn't have them and is arguably the most successful language in history.

I'm not sure "C didn't have it" is a good litmus test for determining the value of features... C is called a portable assembler for a reason.

> Yes, they are convenient, but they also add a lot of complexity to the language and toolchain.

Conversely, proponents of generics would argue that not having them creates complexity for software developers who have to come up with alternative design patterns where generics would be a better fit.

> Personally, the proposal I was most excited about was to make ints be arbitrary precision by default.

Why would you want that? C doesn't have it... ;)

> 13+3/8 mm and 13/32 mm have the same problem

Nobody who grew up with metric uses such measurements.

Outside of the US, metric measurements are usually to the millimeter (add decimal places for serious CNC etc work), not to some odd fractions.

The equivalent math is what they said: (340mm-9mm)/2. No weird fractions.

I suspect that the conflicts will be mostly-economic. If enough countries can get together to form a carbon-taxation bloc, they can begin to impose duties upon countries and companies that don't participate.

Barring a quantum leap in technology, it is a social innovation like that one that might allow us to successfully address the climate crisis.

From a climate/environmental perspective, I believe one of the worst things that can happen is a global-scale war. When short-term survival is threatened, countries will think little of devastating natural reserves and cutting through environmental protections.

I feel like the main blind spot for companies in the hiring process is that they expect candidates to already be caring about and deeply invested in what the company works on, and the more specialized the sub-field or tech the more the company expects candidates to have familiarity or expertise.

Bitcoin or anything really should be allowed to use however much energy it is economically feasible. The real question is, why is there no better use for that electricity than to compute numbers? How our economies became so stagnant the best return for capital investment is bitcoin?

Bitcoin was designed in part as a challenge to the monetary system, but it has ended up shining a light onto a much bigger problem: the economy itself is broken, it is sick, energy usage is just one of the symptoms. Resources in most industries are being wasted so much investors see no value in generating 'real' productivity. Hence the demand for cryptocurrencies.
Ah, I see where this went wrong. I really should have been using the word "utility", not "value". This would've gone much smoother if I'd used that word throughout instead of "value".

The original poster's argument was that we all "waste" power watching pornography and going on skiing trips, so how dare we judge Bitcoin. My counter argument is that they're mixing up energy usage between subjective and objective utility in an attempt to shift Bitcoin into a harder to compare category.

Subjectively, how can we judge the relative utility of a kWh spent on entertainment? The utility of each of the activities listed (minus Bitcoin) are all literally in the eye of the beholder; we can't possibly hope to compare the utility of a kWh spent on pornography vs. skiing. Obviously we can compare energy usage per minute of each, but comparing the utility of a kWh spent running a ski lift vs. PornHub's servers really just breaks down to which form of entertainment you value more.

My issue is that Bitcoin is supposed to do something objective; it's supposed to be money. This means that we absolutely can (and should!) sit down and compare it against its alternatives on numeric values, such as kWh consumption. The moment one starts actually comparing Bitcoin against its direct competitors in measurable categories it starts looking really bad, which is probably why its proponents try to prevent that.

> You can certainly be objective when comparing each characteristic in isolation but the value of the currency depends on how all of them are weighted against each other, and that is completely subjective.

Back to value now.

Ideally currencies aren't supposed to have value per se, rather other things are supposed to have value in terms of it. Obviously this runs into the reality of multiple currencies and exchange rates, but at the local level it actually works this way. You and I might disagree about the relative value of a product, but we express our own disagreement in terms of dollars. We don't disagree about the relative value of the dollar itself. This is why inflation is usually measured in the shift of common goods and services in terms of dollars, since measuring the value of the dollar itself is a fool's errand.

As far as the value of Bitcoin in terms of USD, that's a subject that has been pretty thoroughly dug into. I doubt that I'll add anything new and interesting here.
For me the desire to use generics shows up once I've invested some time in making fancy types. When I work in C that point is never reached since problems are solved "the C way".

Personally I'm a huge fan of generics but I can understand how the keepers of Go might be reluctant to go down the path of C++, Java and C#.

AFAIK, none of the Bitcoin updates in the last few years is a "hard fork", that is, old nodes can still process valid blocks made by new nodes (though they might accept blocks which new nodes would reject). Changing from proof of work to proof of stake would require a hard fork.
The equivalent to a void pointer in Go is interface{}. But very little of the C standard library uses void pointers--basically only those interfaces dealing with untyped blocks of memory, such as malloc and free. IME, you see interface{} far more often in Go code than you see void pointers in C code. And C actually has bone fide generics capabilities with _Generic, it's just very simple and manual.

proof of work is cleverly misnamed, because what's actually going on is proof of wasted work, or simply proof of waste. you are proving you threw a precise measure of something valuable away (money/resources/energy... whether your own or someone else's).

the behavioral econ assumption is that you will seek to recover that loss someday, thus requiring you to hold and protect the receipt token representing it until that time.

> After the Russian annexation of Crimea during the 2014 Crimean crisis, Ukrainian authorities greatly cut the volume of water flowing into Crimea via the canal, citing a huge outstanding debt on water supplies owed by the peninsula. When the Russian government offered to pay the debt, the Ukrainian government refused. This caused the peninsula's agricultural harvest which is heavily dependent on irrigation to fail in 2014.

In any case Bitcoin is here to stay and you will own it, either directly or indirectly, but it's not going away. So questioning it's idea of existence doesn't further the conversation, I'm sorry, but it really makes the questioner seem ignorant. It's the same question being asked since 2011, when does it stop?
Sounds exciting. Some time ago during a ~5h interview I got to present my coded solution to a UI problem to the entire (~10 person) company at the end, panel-style. This was told to me after they described the problem they wanted solved in a couple hours. In hindsight it was kind of fun; in retrospect perhaps I could've done without the adrenaline.
Of course I'm joking, but I think implicit nullability is the worst part of Go. A language designed in a era when this was widely known as the billion dollar mistake (prolly even more expensive).

But this is not easily reversed. Not as easy as tagging generics onto the language. And the parallels with Java's maturing are just lovely. Also, we have seen what Kotlin is now doing for Java: a new language was needed to truly fix that one mistake (implicit nullability), introduced in the grandparent of Java (namely C), and the great old grand uncle of Go.

They just have a organizing issues, its normal to give a presentation for a high level competitive job, but they should have gone through with it regardless if they found a better candidate. They don't know how to make a situation a win/win.

At the end of the day you never know what you're getting from an interview, some great candidates turn into duds and vice versa. It's amazing how many people in hiring positions are just really shit at judging character, instead they rely on some bullshit metrics and process to fill in their lack of intuition.

Feels like we constantly talk about how interviews suck, but we kind of all know why.

1. It's tough to fire people (in that, if you ask someone to move and it turns out they aren't a good fit, it's kind of a jerk move to then drop them like a hot potato).

2. Performance indicators are tough. How do you know someone is doing bad vs good?

3. Keeping on a bad hire (especially one you can't identify), is damaging as heck. Best case scenario they don't get much work done, worst case scenario they suck away the time of all your good hires through bad decisions.

So while I agree that interviewing sucks, I've come to terms with why it is so bad.
I have been thinking of something similar for the last few weeks: most apps are 80% the same components (as you were saying "auth, routing, data model CRUD, ACL"), but these get re-written or at least re-engineered again and again.. wouldn't it be cool to define your apps' main components as a sort of DSL and then generate a starting poitn?
And here you are. This is so interesting.

Would love to have a short chat about this in the near future, if you have time!
> it does provide objective value. bitcoin is a store of value. digital gold.

The only reason I don't laugh at these arguments is because I'm utterly exhausted by hearing them. The value prop for bitcoin is, fundamentally, circular. It's valuable because it's money (like gold!), but when you point out how it's an objectively crap currency, it's suddenly a store of value. When you ask why it has value, it's because it's the currency of the future. Round and round it goes.

> even if it never proves to be a viable currency, a secure digital store of value is objectively useful.

I mean, you're just asserting that it stores value. But, why does it have value?
Nah, I keep it in a mutual fund. That's the point of inflation — spend or invest, but don't just sit on it.
Hydroelectric is great, but only when the geography + local water usage agrees with the construction project.

For places like California which is facing a shortage of Water, Hydroelectric is a weaker option. Ex: if you run a dam in reverse for Pumped Storage, that implies sucking up the precious water from the lower-reservoir back up to the upper side.

Realistically speaking, the near term future is Solar + Gas peakers. We should build out as much Hydro-electric as possible, but most good river sites are already built out. (IE: Rivers which have a large change in elevation to make a Dam project actually worthwhile).

Yes, I so agree with this sentiment. Also I feel a little bad for students at Stanford who actually take this class in person. It seems a little weird that these students come to this world class institution where leading minds are doing cutting edge research, and they are paying exorbitant tuition to sit in a class and learn about how to string simple API calls together. Most of this knowledge can be obtained by just reading the documentation and tutorials on various websites.

I'm sure it makes sense for some students, but it just kind of seems like a waste of money to me for most people..
It's good that it's free now.
Haha, touche. Your response is fair. My point was only that some people act like any successful language must have generics, which is demonstrably false IMO. I am not opposed to innovation and ergonomics (hence, my support for arbitrary precision ints), but we should carefully weigh the pros and cons of every new proposal, especially if it increases the complexity of the language and toolchain. In my opinion, the benefits of generics are outweighed by the cost of their complexity.
