The same reason any asset isn’t banned by governments. Government overreach notwithstanding, we still have a legal system based on economic liberty. The only thing illegal about Bitcoin, like any non-monetary asset, is not playing taxes when you trade it.

No they don't. Unless you have a way to create and investigate a parallel universe where you can put your thesis to a test, but I assume you don't.
From what I gather a blockchain doesn't enforce anything. It simply states who owns what. Anybody can create a blockchain and own the world's entire supply of gold according to that blockchain. But can they enforce that ownership? No, they can't.

I'm not sure how directly comparable they are. How do you compare radioactive and chemical contamination to the kind of contamination from coal mines?

Pollution isn't always a thing you can measure on a scale from bad to less bad. There's long term systemic effects from the countless contaminants released by industries around the world we barely have any idea about.

I realize economic models, and fairly frighteningly, increasingly ecological models require easy to work with numbers that can be compared and contrasted to analyse cost vs benefit, but the real world does not work that way.

"Earth" is an old word for ore.

Rare earth elements are so named because their earths are rare: there aren't many places on the crust where their concentration is significantly above the average. Mining depends on the existence of mineral earths.

Several things surprised me, both in the blog post and the other comments. (Though hpcjoe's and enriquot's comments took care of the "What? Fortran is dead?" reaction.)

- (Comment) "array operations, ... are slower than explicit loops" May be related to the following:

- No mention of vectors.

- No mention of LINPACK, LAPACK, etc.

- No mention of GPUs.
It's a starting point that provides much more capability than something like a traditional currency. The potentially deflationary aspects can be changed with source code modifications if necessary.

That doesn’t help. If you don’t fund it you’ve just increased money supply without increasing the goods and services available. In fact, if UBI serves its purpose, a bunch of people will quit their jobs and the supply of goods and services will decline.

BTW, people in the 1% don’t hoard money, that’s a... financially stupid thing to do. They buy shares in companies and other assets. So there is a lot less money supply trapped up in wealthy peoples’ banks than you would think.
I think it needs to be considered why the Geneva convention was held, because it was now possible to kill or injure in ways never thought possible before. I don't think they've stood the test of time though, if things like drone strikes and AI weaponry are allowed. I would rather combatants be blinded than gunned down by a terminator. Istm like prohibition of violence against non combatants is orthogonal to the means.
When one plant’s worth of solar panel waste is improperly discarded, does it ruin potable water supplies, airable land and the health of entire regions? Does that area become a no-man’s land for decades /centuries, even after spending many billions to try and rectify the damage?

There is absolutely no comparison to long term storage of nuclear waste and discarded solar panels.
I would recommend you to form a habit of putting some money into investments every month, not because of DCA or whatever investment strategy is the best, no simply because starting small and growing incrementally is a tried and true strategy for everything in life. If things go wrong you can always quit.

Pretending that people are being jailed because of the color of their skin is ridiculous, especially considering that in many cities the jury, lawyers, judge, clerks, etc. are also of the same skin color.

That is not the point. People should not have to sit in a cage and then be "judged" by a system that is no longer blind and is stacked against anyone who goes through it. How long do you want to sit in a cage for "something you did not do"? It's no longer about "justice" or "reform", it's about revenge and benefiting those who make it up.

Statements like yours throw the entire justice system under the bus. You essentially call into question the entire [apparatus] that remains to protect normal folks in the burnt out husks of cities like Baltimore and Detroit.

The system needs to be thrown out because of how it was created and what it has become. Instead of only being used to "reform" the most reprehensible individuals in society (violent crimes, theft, fraud), it has become a weapon for use against anyone the two parties did not like. First it was the racist Democrats who used it against those who did not look like them and then the fundie Republicans pushed it even further to use it as a tool for the things the church did not like. Many people sitting in jail right now should not be in jail because their "crimes" never affected anyone else or society at large.

One of the problems with your argument, legacyln, is, that few things can really be done 'top-down'. Even tyrants rely on a subset of dedicated collaborators down there who are absolutely willing to spy and terrorize their neighbours either for a small material gain or out of ideological zealotry.

The experience of the world behind the Iron Curtain says that you must really be wary of whom you trust. The greatest force helping tyrants stay and grow is an unassuming balding man next door who collects all your shortcomings and informs on you regularly. Without a million people like him, every oppressive apparatus would be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work needed to control an entire nation.

Whatever happens on Twitter each day really resembles the struggle sessions and witch hunts of yesteryear. At the end of the day, authoritarianism is carried on by will of a certain subset of the people, not just by authorities.

Priorities are important.

Completely preventable medical errors kill TEN TIMES as many Americans as firearms do, even including suicide-by-gun as a firearm death (which, incidentally, far oustrips firearm-related homicide or accidents).

I'm still waiting for Congress to even propose, let alone pass, the bill that mandates background checks for nurses to know how to properly multiply or divide drug IV dosages by ten, or to learn the difference between milli- and micro-.

I'm still waiting for doctors to have to wait ten days for multiparty approval on their decision to proceed with a procedure predicated on an obvious misread of the patient's chart.

Until that day, gun control advocates have the blood of 590 Americans on their hands, every day, for choosing their Cause Célèbre to be something that kills far, far fewer people than a much, much bigger problem.

Reminder that any policy advocacy position that comes from any standpoint other than holistic harm prevention has one goal, and one goal only: power and control.

edit: HN hivemind apparently believes I am factually incorrect. Approximately 24k Americans die annually via firearms[1], whereas approximately 250k Americans die annually via preventable medical errors[2].

That's simply not true, evangelization is hard and requires connection to personal experience much more the convincing people of wet paint does, and it requires connecting it to personal experience for which people haven’t already accepted a better explanation, which is a lot harder than with “the paint is wet”. You don't just tell people “God exists” and they're like “Oh, sure, thanks.” (Well, except perhaps sarcastically.)

It’s a cute quote, but it has nothing to do with reality.
Yeah I don't know how anyone with a cursory knowledge about how it works would think that it's about privacy. Especially when there are alternatives (such as Monero) that do explicitly try to solve that problem.

> Banning doesn't mean eradicating

Eradicating Bitcoin wouldn’t be that hard. Publicly committing to repeatedly launching 51% attacks is well within the budget of many governments. It would singularly destroy the currency without even requiring criminal statute. Hell, I think the President could do it without permission from Congress.

But why? Why do that? Bitcoin threatens nobody. It underwrites a lot of wealth. And voters don’t care about it.

It's impossible to make coinjoins ("bitcoin laundry service") illegal as they can be run p2p and over tor. EDIT: you can of course make them illegal, however it's impossible to enforce that.

You could however make "accepting" coinjoined UTXO's illegal, but the lightning network fixes this (you can use coinjoined coins to open channels, lightning payments do not know the payer).

> How will China enforce the Great Firewall for instance?

By filing legal complaints through the ITU (which is a UN agency), probably. I expect some international treaties probably come into play. Basically, China complains to the UN, the UN tells the US they can't provide Internet service in China unless they follow China's rules, and then the FCC tells SpaceX that if they don't comply the FCC will shut them down.

Of course, the US government could just decide to ignore China and let SpaceX do whatever they want. (This is all assuming that SpaceX wants to be the Robin Hood of the global Internet and take censorship from the powerful and give access to the poor and not worry about the geopolitical or economic consequences. They might just want to be a regular internet service provider that follows all the rules in whatever country they operate in and doesn't make waves.
They could also just not offer service in China.)
China is isolated without active land borders? Show me the country that made a serious attempt at border closure and had early enforced and supervised quarantine that has had a huge outbreak on the scale of U.S./Europe.
Why not have user curated and shareable blocklists? So if I never want to see anything from Alex Jones or Milo Yiannopoulos and the like, I just subscribe to a blocklist that eliminates far right commentators. You could even create networks of trusted users where anyone they block, is blocked for everyone in the network. Or have shareable rulesets, like "block anyone who uses this word", or "block anyone who follows this account".

Of course you could create huge echo chambers that way, but that happens anyways when you curated your followers, so I don't see that as a huge issue. Just now in addition to deciding who you follow, you also decide who you block.

Twitter (or whatever platform) would still be responsible for eliminating bad actors (spammers, people posting illegal content) but other than that could just let users curate what they see on the platform.
A nation state has a number of effective measures to block it: require ISPs to block its port and major sites, put punitive taxes on any exchange points into the local currency, require people to certify under oath the origin of funds they’re using for transactions, etc. Since Bitcoin helpfully provides the government with a full transaction log, it’s extremely risky to try to bypass these controls since your history is revealed if you or anyone you have ever dealt with leaks your identity. They also have enough capacity to either do a 51% attack directly or to compromise enough miners to get there – does anyone think those groups are NSA-proof?

The better question is why they’d want to. For example, the U.S. government doesn’t have an ideological crusade – pay your taxes, follow anti-money laundering laws, etc. and they don’t care.
Stripe valuation soars to $95B after latest fundraising
I've been here a long time. This may actually win the award for most ridiculous comment ever written on HN. To argue that a main should willingly sacrifice their people for... what exactly? Why do you think these systems were built? To keep their people from "actually dying." Another route could be to indiscriminately return 10x fire for every indiscriminately fired inbound rocket. Would that be an appropriate response? I mean, it could "push for a peaceful resolution faster."
Doesn't sound so much as offering more or less (it's free for Namecheap customers), more like just changing providers for whatever reason.
Wow, what a simplistic look at nuclear vs renewables. They don't even begin to look into the "hidden" costs of renewable energy. They fail to mention or include the costs of new transmissions lines, bringing new mines onboard, building grid storage, etc.

If we forgo nuclear power the only other currently viable carbon free, stable, energy source is hydro power, which has huge environmental costs and immense public resentment/push back. For example look at the James bay hydro project[1]. 11,500 km2 of land flooded, intense protest from the Cree and other first nations as well as conservation groups, increases in mercury levels in fish populations, etc. Expanding hydro power enough to handle base load energy use is unlikely, due to the above costs and push back.

So if we can't expand hydro or nuclear then we have to go all in on wind and solar plus grid storage. We could use pumped hydro but that brings about many of the same costs/problems as hydro power. That leaves us with over building wind and solar, and adding huge amounts of transmission lines and batteries to account for the variability. Add in the switch from ICE cars to electric and the amount of new metals needed is going to be immense.

I've also noticed that every time a new transmission line or mine is purposed in the United States their is immense push back from environmental and conservation groups, and from the public as a whole. For examples of this look at the fight over adding new transmissions lines in southern Wisconsin[2] or the intense opposition to mining the Duluth complex[3] in northern Minnesota[4]. The Duluth complex is the largest untapped copper and nickel resource in the world and Polymet has been trying to get permits for well over a decade to mine. Copper and nickel are greatly needed for renewable energy and batteries, and it could still be another 4 or 5 years if it ever happens.

Not using nuclear energy is just going to massively exacerbate the transmission line and mining problems as well as increase the prices of renewable energy. Wind and solar is "cheap" because we don't factor in the added transmission lines, and natural gas peaker planets needed to currently make it happen. Also many of the groups pushing for wind and solar + batteries also happen to be against adding additional mines and transmission lines required to make it happen, and honestly you cant really blame them, mines can pollute local water supplies and transmission lines are ugly.

All and all a balanced approach is probably the cheapest and most viable path forward, solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, grid storage all working together on the grid.

Which is why I really doubt the gov would ban it. Especially now that many gov members understand it somewhat (Gary Gensler, head of SEC, used to teach blockchain course at MIT, many senators are publicly holding, etc).

But regardless, BTC was very much alive when it was trading at 1$, so I wouldn't really equate dead/alive with price, it would just hinder adoption.

Nursing licensing standards already cover that skill (and a lot more.) Congress has also worked to promote things that deal with actual problems that exist, rather than things that are long solved, and which have been demonstrated to reduce preventable medical errors like meaningful use of EMRs; knowing how to multiply and divide correctly doesn't help when poor, unstructured records give you inaccurate or incomplete information to start with.
