Only in the vaguest sense. Don't attribute to corporate greed what can be adequately explained by an out-of-control bureaucracy made of competing personal interests and baroque by leadership by committee on promotions and raises.

Writing a fast computer program is much easier than designing a good bureaucracy.
No, the question is what is the incentive for lying and claiming guilty? Do prosecutors choose different labs?

There has been very few research and development into decentralized economic planning. (Imagine if only a fraction of the development resources that have gone into High Frequency and Momentum Trading had been invested into Decentralized Economic Planning)

I am quite sure many here would agree that the Economic Calculation Problem doesn't hold much water nowadays (or at least won't in the near future) with the available computation power.

Reading the article I am still struggling to understand why exactly you would transition away from something that has a ton of community support and a lot of people use (you are more likely to find a developer with Docker experience than Buildpack).

This just seems like a more opinionated DockerFile that doesn't give you the power to change things that you may need. You will end up being stuck somewhere down the road and being forced to rewrite it as a DockerFile anyways.

If you really want to make it easier for your engineers, stick with a DockerFile and have a couple common internal images that they pull from instead and just put their code in. If they need more flexibility they can switch to pulling a standard image (or you have the control to improve your base image) but you are sticking with Docker Syntax.

Is there something I am missing here?

There are indeed a lot of them, but the second type in parent comment do indeed exist and are gems. Places like Corsica Studios, Printworks (though this is a huge venue), Chip Shop, Fabric, E1 (to some extent). Volks in Brighton. A LOT of them have closed down for bullshit reasons though (licensing, police being dicks, property developers squeezing rent, dickheads moving in next door and complaining about noise). A real shame. People absolutely do get drunk though.

The first type do exist too, especially in the west end, Chelsea etc.
Have they fixed the transaction cost issue? Are they going to pay the fees to transact in Bitcoin, or should I continue to pay in dollars? Then congrats on buying something anonymously that you have to register to drive off the lot.

Short of the anonymity, I'm not sure why you'd buy an asset with something that is less inflationary than the dollar. Keep the BTC, use the dollars if you are making an inflation play. That way you cut your opportunity costs down a bit by the rate of inflation?
I tried doing something similar because I was in a different time zone than most of my team. I blocked off 6-9pm my time, which was 3-6pm theirs, so I could have dinner etc. with my family. It didn't work. Out of more than a dozen team members, only two or three tried to accommodate my schedule. The rest either tromped over the reserved time or just left me off the invite for meetings where I should have been included. "Couldn't find a room at another time" was the excuse until COVID, but then the behavior persisted during WFH so I don't think that was really it.

Based on that and other similar experiences (I worked from home for almost a decade), I'd say calendar tweaks are not the answer. The problem is culture/habits and therefore so is the solution. If other team members understand and respect the need for continuous blocks of solo time, they'll schedule meetings accordingly, or avoid scheduling meetings at all when the subject matter could/should have been addressed asynchronously. Dedicated "focus blocks" might help them do that better, but first they have to want to do it.

I have worked with MATLAB code with 20,000 lines of code. Only over the past years, OOP and unit-testing has become properly available and usable. My guess is that this 170,000 lines are written in the old procedural way (also for performance reasons) and are full of bugs, also thanks to the lack of supporting tools.

Most likely, this grew out of a research prototype that just worked too well to be reimplemented in a proper production environment.
I have a similar story. Back when crystal was first released you had to sign up for an account on a forum called linuxcult.com to get access to them. I ended up being super active on it and I’m still in touch with some of the members to this day. The Linux community back then was wonderful.

It's odd that they talk about Segment and GA not having direct competition when their biggest competition is actually also Adobe. Via their acquisitions of Omniture and a few other many years ago, they have a very robust marketing cloud offering for analytics, tag management, targeting, ad optimization and all that jazz. Plus enterprise CMS. And they sell it as a package to simplify procurement which is a huge draw. Even though their products all kinda suck.

> The BBC had a fairly objective review of data a few years back

This is analogus to me asking for objective data about Afganistan...from the US.

I think you've missed my point entirely, either disregarding my concern for objectivity as invalid or you really do believe commonwealth countries, which are largely homogenous and/or majority white - are the best examples of objective views on a criminal/race driven murder in a majority black, African state.

I will continue nonetheless to ask for objectivity.

The call for expropriation without compensation isn't new nor is it growing. It's a regular part of South african political discourse since pre-1994. Nor is it a new concept, being a regular part of post war administration - see Post World War Japan[1], Korea and Taiwan for US involvement in land reform not dissimilar to South Africas land reform policy and make your own conclusion.

Good points, but he’s still right.

For all the talk of Bitcoin being decentralized there are a dozen people or so that could destroy the whole system if they so chose to. Overtly or covertly.

Despite my feelings about governments specific actions, and the bank system, not even the President or the Fed or Congress could do that as quickly with the dollar.... although sometimes you would think they are trying.
How would a team of independent reviewers even go about examining source code of this scale? How can you possibly find bugs that aren't super obvious?
That's capitalism my friend. Nothing should stop the growth of profit. It has been the same from the beginning.

Do you not see the pitfalls of the MLM structure of Bitcoin, along with the "army of HODLers" who are financially incentivized to speak positively and promote Bitcoin?

Consensus through profit, financial incentive, is lazy - and arguably greedy - vs. doing the actual work of building real trust, and aligning people through real trust and relationship, community building; there is an argument that Bitcoin is required as a bridge, an impetus, to force democratically elected governments to do better - however they now have to fight the regulatory capture that Bitcoin will cause for its own benefit to further society-wide, global adoption to help realize the earlier adopters' unnecessary and unreasonable profits.

1. It helps to have significant holdings if you plan to use the currency.
2. Tesla buying btc might conceivably move the price more and result in higher overall profits than the investors holding it directly.

Did you mean to reply to the parent comment?

But also, going by your logic, whatever is going on here is because something was depirioritized in favour of profit. The issue with that though, is that improper deletion would be detrimental to metrics in my opinion, not positive.
A simple answer: there's a reason California is the "land of fruits and nuts." Its the furthest West you could go so it ended up full of weird religious groups, entrepreneurs, LGBT people, and so on. (People on the West Coast are now building spaceships because it's not far West enough?)

Of course the American West was not a pure frontier. It was already populated, so pushing West involved displacing other people. Space on the other hand would be a pure frontier, something that hasn't really existed on Earth for thousands of years.

A better picture of what you might get with a pure frontier would perhaps be Polynesian culture before colonization when they hopped from largely unpopulated island to unpopulated island. It would be more peaceful than the American west, more focused on exploration and settlement since there would not be conflict with existing occupants. Conflict between settlers is not even very likely due to the sheer amount of empty space.

You could argue that in the far future we might meet some aliens, but I'd counter that space is so f'ing huge that conflict between even massive civilizations would be unlikely unless it were driven by irrational motives.

"It's called space for a reason."
I think you fundamentally misunderstand why a business might buy an asset like Bitcoin. It's certainly not to participate in a pump and dump scheme - as you seem to be alluding. It takes time for a corporation to build up a position in something like Bitcoin. And it will take time to unwind that position. This is clearly a long-term hedge.
> Holy shit that is bad. Even as a lay person I know that there are gaps between skull plates.

Sure, but can you tell them apart from a fracture caused by injury? Presumably someone knowledgeable in medicine should be able to, but maybe it is one of those things that isn't as obvious as we, the uneducated outsider, might think.

That's a one dimensional way to think.

Somewhere in between those two extremes. I'd love to see/hear what you think qualifies as "very well documented from a scientific perspective".

> this whole crypto-crap infested the idea space of decentralisation

Then we learned that there are enough bad actors to ruin most decentralized applications before they get big enough to make a difference.

Unless the incentives are strong enough.

Tokenomics has proven to be a pretty effective way to do that.
“... I also need to have confidence that I can do something with the BTC before its value wildly fluctuates.”

Fluctuates relative to what? If BTC becomes the unit of account (as it already apparently has in certain channels of international trade), then it’s only fiat money doing the fluctuating, while goods and services are priced in BTC.

I send 1000 euros per month to another person on a monthly basis using an app called Remitly. It charges me a fixed fee of 3.99 IIRC. It arrives within the hour to her bank account. 24 hours at most. There are many others like it, Azimo, and even WU has an app. I don't see what is so special about what you say or I am missing something.
Curious to know what would invalidate your current belief? It seems like half a trillion dollars in economic value is not convincing enough. So what is?
Do you think the government is going to tie the currency to bitcoin and we'll be on a bitcoin standard? That would be the equivalent and would mean bitcoin would be insanely valuable so maybe you should buy some.

On the other hand, it's far more likely the fed will stick with fiat currency. You'll still get paid in USD, pay your taxes in USD but bitcoin will exist as an alternative store of value like gold. There is around ~$11 trillion worth of gold above ground. Bitcoin has some properties that could make it a better store of value and much easier to transact with than gold. If it eats into gold's primary use case it will probably be a lot more valuable than it is right now.
I like this realist, skeptical, Machiavellian perspective.

Is it a money game, or is there something more to it? https://bitcointreasuries.org/ is a site I use to try to determine if this is a legitimate trend or not. At $1.5B, Tesla's initial position is 1.31x the original position of MicroStrategy, which was the previous largest position for a public company. Granted, MicroStrategy's position has since appreciated to about $3B, so Tesla is about half that in terms of current market value.

It seems Tesla's position is serious, not just a token. But I suggest everyone try to look at the data and make up their own mind.
He has recently mentioned that he is changing his mind about cryptocurrency. So this is not a news.

I personally think there is an overestimated perception about how Elon Musk doesn't like money, and that he is all in for the environment. He has been very successful to build that brand for himself, but it's exaggerated that he's very different from other billionaires. I'm not saying he or other billionaires are bad, but I also don't buy the idea of Musk being different than everyone else. Most of the people even don't know that he wasn't a co-founder of Tesla. He is certainly opportunistic and big risk taker like many other billionaires. But, he is capitalizing on his brand as someone that is radically different from others and is all in for the environment.
If you knew someone was guilty, because of a preponderance of other evidence you have the utmost faith in, such as a professional law enforcement officers’ eyewitness account, and the DNA testing vendor you were evaluating said “not guilty”, what exactly would you expect to happen?
This so much ^

The FBI has already proven pretty well that with a big enough dragnet (and resource that places like the NSA absolutely have), they can associate people to wallet addresses. It just takes slipping up a single time and they'll find you.
Yea, we will have to strike a balance so we don't contribute to the cost complexity too! haha

We talked about if we should approach it with user-based pricing, or usage-based pricing. Do you think usage based pricing would be preferred here? Or should we keep it in a way that users can run it as many times as they like?

Our current thinking is buyer-based open core with per user pricing, maybe like SYNK.
While this may lead to more transparent technology use in the justice system, a more realistic outcome is that everyone accused of any crime where a technology was used in the process of determining guilt (which could get quite picayune; did the prosecutor's office use Excel? Is that something the defendant could demand to check the source code on?) will use this as a way to slow-roll the process indefinitely.
I don't know where you are but in a lot of places to use Western Union you have to physically go to one of their stores.

With BTC I can buy them via the internet, and the person on the other side can also convert to cash in their own account via the internet, then withdraw on any ATM.

It's worlds apart.

Edit: I guess if you only consider the parent's use-case where the other person went to a Bitcoin ATM it's not that different but my point stands as it's only 1 other layer in the process and it's an online one.
Thanks! Yeah we think that making the costs visible to engineers will help remove the pain here. We're seeing some big companies like Netflix, Slack and Segment implement dev-focussed approaches to cost-management and think this will become more of a standard in the future.

How exactly does bitcoin liberate you from the shit that went down in the last year, besides the fact that luck, manipulation, and celebrity shilling propelled it to new heights. Not to mention that your taxes will be astronomical, and it's easy for the federal government to regulate it into oblivion.

As for me, I loved the original promise of bitcoin. A decentralized peer-to-peer electronic cash. It's not that though, and it never will be.

There are lots of fascinating blockchain projects though, and we have bitcoin to thank for that.
Without observing any outgassing, that explanation is only slightly less suppositional than the artificial one.
Genuine question: why is it unethical? It's a trade. If it were not deemed a worthwhile trade by either party, they're free to reject the offer.

If an alien appeared before me and offered me some crazy never-before-seen four dimensional shapeshifting object in exchange for a bag of coffee, I'd accept it. Was I taken advantage of? I'd be the envy of my friends, for one.

Clarifying edit: I believe the Manhattan example to be unethical, but probably not the alien example. The reason I think so is because I highly doubt (given colonial history in North America) that the trade terms were particularly clear or even that the decision was theirs to make.

Rambling a bit, but here's another edit. The Manhattan trade sounds particularly fishy to me. Imagine that the alien was offering you a shiny 4D object in exchange _for your house_. That would be so ridiculously unwise that I can't really accept that the residents of Manhattan island thought it a good deal.

I don't believe that government-mandated lockdowns were ever part of any pre-Covid19 pandemic planning. It was assumed that [for instance] schools might well end up having to close if the spread of disease got so widespread that there wouldn't be enough healthy staff to keep them open, not because government would order them closed.
