it's a fallacy that any coin has actually reproduced bitcoin in a more efficient way

It's a fallacy to consider bitcoin as an apriori better system than either traditional currencies or other coins when it has failed to achieve the hoped-for results.
Modern cryptography is almost 50 years old.
The turkish lira lost A LOT of value the last years, so I guess it's more to stop the people to flee from turkish lira.
And less lost more lacking
Not all governments are trusted stewards. Some (like Turkeyst Erdogan) are warlord tyrants.
I can see anti-free speech and harm prevention people favoring this model. I know a few of those people on this board, what are your thoughts?
I still cannot understand how crypto advocates genuinely think governments will roll over and let cryptocurrencies take away one of the primary powers of the state: minting and control of the flow, supply, and thus value of the currency. Ironically, to me, crypto seems to already assume the utopia it aims to usher in (namely, the one in which decentralized currencies are legal and valid).

Also the idea that we can bully or criticize governments into adopting crypto by calling the ones who don’t “tyrannical” is especially naive and hilarious to me. By virtue, the truly tyrannical do not care about being called such.
Except that's not Debian's agreed-to voting process.

I'd also point out that secret ballot is not universal in the US. Certainly the votes of elected officials are not secret. But neither are open votes at, say, a town hall meeting.
You sure the reason they still use English is due to being "Anglo-Saxon vassals". And not, y'know, the lack of a common Indian language that everyone is happy to use? For example:

"The Indian constitution, in 1950, declared Hindi in Devanagari script to be the official language of the union. Unless Parliament decided otherwise, the use of English for official purposes was to cease 15 years after the constitution came into effect, i.e., on 26 January 1965. The prospect of the changeover, however, led to much alarm in the non-Hindi-speaking areas of India, especially Dravidian-speaking states whose languages were not related to Hindi at all. As a result, Parliament enacted the Official Languages Act, 1963, which provided for the continued use of English for official purposes along with Hindi, even after 1965."[1]

Moreover you aren't even right that all higher courts in India operate in English.

"in many high courts, there is, with consent from the president, allowance of the optional use of Hindi. Such proposals have been successful in the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar."[2]

Could you please explain what you mean instead of repeating an empty catchphrase? And did you really create this account to say the same thing over and over ?
Doesn't bitcoin mining run on cheap surplus electricity? If they shut down the coal mines the power generation will eventually be impacted. They likely want to shut down bitcoin mining before impacting supply to other users, as bitcoin miners operate in the grey area.

>On the other hand, banning things in the digital realm is rather difficult. Unless you go completely offline in practical terms, there is no real way to stop this type of communication.

Alternately all of the transaction history is public and recorded. Once you catch someone you will be able to trace all or their activity semi automatically, and you only need to make a few big examples to teach people what is more risky -turkish jail for financial crimes or not using crypto.

The us or China could crash the value of these crypto currencies in a single act. It's a very fragile system.
Are you asking for evidence that secret ballots prevent voter intimidation? Or evidence that people are harassed online for their stance on this specific issue?
No, I don't have specific evidence, and I won't have it until we see an anonymous poll.

I do believe I have a very plausible hypothesis, though, and I find it sufficiently plausible that I'm going to reserve judgement on the true beliefs of people until we see that anonymous poll.
Google probably is a customer, but just for some open source stuff they share and where they can't expose their internal build system to the public.

Just an assumption though.
This doesn't matter at all. It's a flaw in principle, which will sooner or later manifest. This is the case for any definition of "work" the system encodes, that comes down to the fatalistic reductionism of "increasing entropy". At some point your house becomes an oven, while the systems starts folding random amino acid chains.

'Work' cannot be losslessly reduced to heat generation and market value does not represent contribution to human welfare.

It's the fallacy of conflating correlation with causation, when the free market economic systems aligns with human interests for a moment. And PoW crypto currencies aim for giving up all governance control to this fallacy. Earth becoming absolutely oxidized into a lifeless rock a valid possible equilibrium for free market economic systems.
Note that those points are particular disadvantages of the email workflow - all of these things are solved in modern tools like Gerrit.
What in the hell is with that tabulation of data?

You don't even have raw vote counts. You have that weird floating relative representation going on, and no formula is given for the totals, or I'm not aware the procedures are that line that out. Example:

2 dimensional matrix
Value at (x, y) coordinates should be read as option X received <value> more votes than option Y. The diagonal is blank since it degenerates in this representation.

Row 1 column 2 would assert that option 1 beat option 2 by 113 votes.

Row 2, column 1 however asserts the opposite, that option 2 beat option 1 by 137. This is reading is articulated explicitly in those results.

I see no way that isn't an indication of contradiction unless their tallying method is so bloody exotic I can't even imagine. Nor can I find the where they define their dividend for the majority calculation, but I'm assuming there is a tally of nay/abstain votes somewhere?

What am I missing?
How can you send payment over the internet without cryptography?

Also, PoW != Cryptocurrency.
The difference between web devs and coal miners is that coal miners were losing their jobs due to the government regulating them out of business, web devs were losing their jobs due to underlying changes in technology.

We have a precedent for dealing with government intervention in established industries which usually involves providing support to transition to other industries. Fisheries management is full of examples of government paying fishermen to fish less for example. Yet somehow coal miners became a target of derision by a certain branch of American politicians who gleefully cackled about regulating them out of work.
If option 4 had beat option 7 pairwise but lost transitively by some longer path, isn't that what we mean by the term "cycle"?
The website's main goal is made clear in the opening paragraph. There is valid criticism and there is witch hunting. Sadly, many people chose to engage in the latter. Strong phrase, but I honestly cannot see it as something else.
I think "no comment" is the most reasonable and mature result. Debian is not directly involved in that fight, and adding fuel to the fight, on either side, is not going to help much.
Right, but a ghostgunner is not a CNC machine in the common meaning of that word. It was made specifically for cutting 80% lowers (even if the GG website claims it's a 'general purpose' CNC), and even then, only the lowers from GG themselves. And yes, there are initiatives like the GGFlex, but none of that takes away from the fact that it's vastly harder to machine a gun than it is to print one. Like, even with a GG you still need a premade barrel, FCG, magazine etc. In the US, you can buy those off the shelf (for now), but most places in the world you can't. Maybe someone some day will build a GG-like device that can cut all of those parts with the ease the GG can do it. But until then, there are 3d printed guns for those willing to take the risk.

As a person who finds no home in either party is's eye opening to see both parties demonizing the other.

Outrage and Sensationalism instead of statistics, seems to drive most of the voters, whether that be on the left or on the right.

The media is complicit in this with the 'if it bleeds it leads' mentality,
It doesn't change how the world works in regards to crypto. I don't like my government does that give me the legal right to do financial crimes? Will my righteousness help me in court?
> Your productivity turns negative when you make so many mistakes that you’re destroying value, not creating it.

One thing to consider about knowledge/skill workers vs unskilled labor is that most complex systems are house of cards style situations where a single mistake can both destroy a network effect of value, but also take several orders of magnitude of time and effort to detect and rectify the actual issue.

Introducing a subtle, but value destroying, bug into a system can do value damage to the N systems it interconnects with, and can lead to a near total loss of the whole system (eg: drop table). Of course there are safeguards that can help avoid this like backups, but still the point is a carpenter wouldn't make the whole house worthless by a misplaced nail.
I don’t think the article gives enough detail to make that case. We could torture the scenario any number of ways to arrive at whatever conclusion we’re after but the comment about weight loss being more attributable to a caloric deficits from eating less generally stands. For most people, it’s much easier to eat calories than exercise it off.

Yes, I noted guaranteed equity as a class as there are a multitude of instruments which can provide monetary benefit after separation.

I once worked with a guy who had been with an 8 year old startup for around 7 years. The company had stopped growing at around the 200 million dollar run rate and he’d stopped really trying to do much other than get by. Someone once directly asked why he stayed and it turned out he had a million+ options. He was never bad, never good, and never took risks or did anything that would make him stick out.

6 years later the startup is still private and hasn’t grown (it’s probably smaller today than it was then). When I think back on the experience there were a number of people who felt strangely trapped into working there and didn’t give a crap.

I worked at one other company doing the options game and saw the same thing - anecdotally I never saw this at companies giving RSUs. As a manager, it would be tough to part ways with someone if you know your stripping them of a million dollars in equity.
The article talks about coupling it with sticking to 2k calories a day, which will be important to the transformation.
It's politics.

For example, the criminal justice system is all messed up. Over-criminalization, coercive plea bargains, law enforcement unaccountability etc. But we focus on police shootings of black men, which aren't actually disproportionate to the number of police encounters with black men.

Because it's a thing you can put video of on the television and get people frothy about, but it's not a thing you can solve on its own because it's a consequence of all of those other things and not a cause in itself.

By getting people to focus on the wrong thing, they can get votes without having to do the hard work of solving the underlying problems. Instead they give you empty symbolism -- take down statues, rename stuff -- which doesn't fix anything. More than that, because the underlying problems never get solved that way, they can keep campaigning on it forever.
They didn't ban cryptography they banned cryptocurrencies
It's considered property in the US. And the rights to own are protected by the constitution.
As long as western governments don't go on a crusade, cryptocurrencies will continue to thrive.
There are lots of articles out there supporting this idea. Here is one:

it only takes a few people to sponsor options, and plenty of people have sponsored options that they would not vote for because they believed that these options should be available.
Interesting write up. The whole article, with its stressed out overtime, inter-team fighting, and testing the computer using a game reminded me of "The Soul of a New Machine", which is a great read for anybody who hasn't read it.
that's a condescending comment
But do people who don't have access to a bank or basic sanitation have access to internet and a smart phone? The people struggling to feed themselves or live in a place without basic sanitation probably don't have money for a smart phone or access to the internet.

The problem with this is that nobody will change the defaults, so that approach is utterly useless if you want actionable information.

People label a number of different things, some bad and some good, under the general umbrella of "tracking". I'm not sure that name conveys enough nuance.

Wikipedia wants to evaluate how effective a particular feature is and so they are slightly modifying a URL to do this. It's not tracking you, your family or your dog. It's basically appending "&source=ios".

I'd think that is perfectly fine to any reasonable person.
Black people are more than 250% more likely to be killed by the police than white people. Do you want a peer reviewed study and some autopsies about what's shriekingly-obvious?

Officially, 1:137000 per year for African-Americans killed by cops. 1:533333 per year for White Americans. The numbers are likely far higher because of the purposeful LACK of data and the CDC forbids research on all gun violence, not just murders by police in particular.

Oh and then there's the fact that America has the highest incarceration rate in the world except for Seychelles, and the vast majority are black and brown people in for nonviolent, petty crimes like weed.

In this specific image there are even greater difficulties than in the Van Gogh painting: the unpainted wall portions on the left prevail over the "low energy" surfaces that surround them, and there are many rectilinear structures that demand very good preservation, like court lines, wall edges, iron bars, and worst of all the backboard, located in the middle of lower energy regions (the low contrast purple grid) that attract seams that bite off the corners of the backboard.

This image should look better with a strong penalty against seams that depart from vertical or horizontal lines, but it wouldn't be enough: the purple pillars and panels would be straighter but still squeezed.

Lots of places have cliffs now, how does that strategy account for not being allowed to buy them because you haven’t worked there long enough?
They could have done something like that, but then you need to pass more than a 16-bit value in for port number. Back when that was a concern, limiting to only 65535 usable ports wasn't a big deal. Now, you probably could use a larger integer and pass a flag to really bind to port zero, other than there's probably a lot of network equipment that will drop it. If you also run on an IPv4 address with a final octet of 0 or 255, you'll have a really hard to reach service.

You can still own it, but businesses can just be banned from accepting payments.
I have acknowledged that my reasoning is less sound than the occam's razor, and I didn't really assert data impropriety. So calm down.

But about your first point. I don't think even the designers and maintainers of this blackbox understand the system. Looking at it from that point of view, the chances of a hacker finding proof for this is pretty low.
I think it makes sense in practice too, if you accept some incentive scheme. Perhaps no incentive is the best incentive, but I don't know the data on that.

In my experience there was never a huge disconnect between an individual's performance and their expectation of their bonus.

Your starting point was based on your position - say 5% for junior positions and 10% for senior positions.

The thing you had control over was if that starting position went up or down. There are 5 performance review levels, and each has a matching percentage associated with it. A '3' is "doing your job satisfactorily" and gives your base of say 10%. A '4' might be 15%, '5' 20%, '2' 5%, and '1' 0% (I don't remember if they actually went to 0% or not).

The last important factor is the companies overall success, but that is largely out of your hands so it 'is what it is'.

The bigggest downside with this system is that it's not capable of handling everyone getting a '5'. If you really had a team of superstars it would be a hard and long battle to get them all recognised (though I did see that happen on occasion).
Decentralized currencies are legal (outside of Turkey)? How is that an utopic assumption?
Lawmakers/LEO/Press (created and) amplified each other's narratives about child sex abuse. With that came fatter agency budgets and the rise of related orgs that could raise huge amounts of cash.
This is a compelling argument because what? The US government is incapable of passing new legislation to regulate/outlaw property? An interstate-trading crypto ban would be legal, as far as I can tell.

A few years ago I have found a wireless usb hub.

I did find the idea to be nice and original, but as there was no working driver for Linux, I was never able to test it.

At that time, I did not find any info about it. No wikipedia page. So I was thinking that it was an original orphan chinese gadget as you can find sometimes. A kind of hack trying to abuse of the usb brand. I did not think that it was based on a standard.

Some people should probably redevelop such a concept I think.
That's true. I am most interested in testing if my code works though. I don't see a 'cheat' option that gives you the correct answer I could check against.

I do see that the engine is open source though. I'll look into contributing: https://github.com/project-lovelace

I was specifically referring to your claim that “lawmakers don't care about victims in a meaningfully helpful way. They absolutely crave the power/cash that anti-trafficking rhetoric brings.” This article says nothing about that, and TechDirt isn’t exactly a reputable, well-researched newsgathering organization. Sure, they’re great at pointing out hypocrisies and weaknesses for our amusement, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them do any in-depth analysis or reporting.
It's simple hygiene: clear out browser data after each session, use private browsing (fwiw), and a VPN.
I suspect that when you do this the following thing happens:

* Big businesses are unaffected as they use click fraud prevention services.

* Businesses that don’t use that have to pay more money to Google because people clicked on their ad, and they think their marketing is effective (at least from a click through perspective).

* Google makes even more money because you are clicking on all the ads and it makes them look better. They can demonstrate how well their marketing platform works even better!

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but software should never be used to compensate for unsafe hardware. That lesson should have become standard knowledge after the Therac-25 disaster, which happened as a result of replacing a hardware interlock with a software one.
