I like the sentiment even if i don't agree with the conclusion. On the flip side of this, you can only keep value you create if you can defend that value. Crypto seems to be the easiest way to protect yourself from the man with the gun is I can keep $1B written on a piece of paper.

I'm not sure if i entirely agree with this next sentiment eithier but it's one that i've heard and i find interesting.

The first capitalist was the caveman1 who dug a hole in a wall to protect him from the elements. The worlds first socialist was the caveman2 that demanded caveman1 share or give over the cave, since he also had a right to the products of his labor.
You might be interested in SALOME, which presents as a CFD pre/post-processor but - like most such software - has CAD functions as well. It also uses OpenCASCADE and actually shares a lot of code with FreeCAD. I found it to be rather more stable.

I think this is largely misunderstood about Google. It seems like ads placed in search results only accounts for a small portion of their revenue. Not sure how much the targeting of ads by analyzing your search history actually contributes either. I think Google just figured out how to scale online ad sales really well.
See, even now, knowing I'm not thinking about the negative result, I'm forgetting the negative result.
> "The remaining search results themselves are increasingly troubled. My own personal experience is that they are now often comprised of superficial commercial "content" from sites that are experts in setting their page metadata correctly and the other dark arts required to exploit the latest revision of Google's algorithm. There's also a huge number of adverts."

Every tax that isn’t based on income is regressive (sales being the major one).

> Poor people pay a larger proportion of their income and wealth on such tolls

And every other basic good. This doesn’t mean much.

> Also transport costs - or, more specifically, commute times - interact with house prices.

Yes, but as it stands the cheap road use is subsidizing mega commutes, which is broken.

> Poor people often have to travel longer and further for work, increasing the tax they have to pay even on an absolute basis.

And they often don’t too. We don’t need to be subsidizing mega commutes as a society. It shouldn’t make sense to travel for 90 minutes each way for a $20/hr job.

Making these jobs more expensive for the employer is a good thing. Either they will raise the wage because they lost all employees or they will just hire locals instead which is better for the environment.

> What can we do to fortify our sites?

You can make your sites pass the WCAG test criteria. I work in the public sector where we get hits by concerns like this all the time. So we fix our sites. And we still find people who dig deeper and find more ways we aren't compliant. So we fix our sites. Whether or not there are trolls at the bottom of a complaint, this is just part of our job, so we do it.

> If the government banned crypto, prosecuted those who it could find and confiscated the crypto it would only succeed in tightening the supply and increasing it's price.

This assumes that demand is going to remain the same while supply goes down. More likely the demand goes to near-zero when the legitimate investors exit the market.

> the radiation exposure was enough to kill several of those workers outright

I gather no wildlife took part in putting the fires off.

> the pregnant wife of one worker spent too much time with him and the radiation emanating from his body was enough to give her a miscarriage.

Did you see that in the HBO Miniseries?

"Lastly, there is the dangerous representation that, because one of the victims was radioactive, his pregnant wife endangered her unborn child by entering his hospital room. First, as discussed, none of the victims were radioactive—their exposures were almost exclusively external, not internal. More importantly, risk to a fetus from an exposure like this is infinitesimally small." [1]

> The multi-level marketing ponzi scheme things would still be present.

Yes, there are scams. But even in 2017 ICO days these were easy to spot - wailing and teeth nashing over ICO scams was dumb then and still is now.

> Yes, but "crypto" means something else.

I'm sorry but words mean what people who use them want them to mean in order to communicate ideas between them. Meanings evolve and words are co-opted and probably people should get over that.

> It's not. It's about greed and creating money for yourself. Currencies are just more direct.

I guess I can agree if what you mean by greed I replace with self-interest based mechanism design. I don't believe this needs to be zero sum, though. Maybe we'd differ on that.

In small part. Inflation from 1955 to 2013 is almost exactly 9 times. That accounts for $495 million.
your evidence seems to indicate the exact opposite of your conclusion. State-backed Fiat can never exist in an anarchist vacuum, but you could have crypto since it is inherently decentralized and impossible to steal unless i somehow find where you keep your keys (Which could be the size of a thumbdrive)
I dont, but I probably will soon dude to an airdrop. Although not quiet sure if it counts as PoS because its does not run on PoS its just uses staking for some stuff.

Anyway my mininga statement was more of a joke because people would not trow gold into the rant about mining but are fine adding all other coins that have no mining at all.

Also not big fan of PoS as it has some of the same unwanted properties. So I dont intend to buy any PoS coins. I prefer FBA.

>> Poor people pay a larger proportion of their income and wealth on such tolls.

If you want to charge for use of a resource, to discourage over-use, and only to raise enough to fund production of more of that resource, it's entirely irrelevant that it's "regressive" (which is a very loaded term), because it is not the main source of government revenue, and people benefit from the expenditure of the funds raised by the tax directly in proportion to how much they are taxed.

If the objective is to use the tax as a proxy to tax general utilization of public infrastructure and services, then yes, it would be inappropriate to choose a tax on an activity that is a poor proxy, e.g. an activity that the poor engage in out of proportion to their general use of public infrastructure and services.
> Yes - we do and are seeing rapid inflation.

No, we aren’t.

> We see rapid asset inflation across the board.

“Inflation”, without modifiers, refers to consumer price inflation (final goods and services). Asset inflation is a different thing, as is monetary inflation. Monetary inflation can contribute to both asset inflation and consumer price inflation, but those two outcomes are somewhat in tension; asset inflation isn’t pent up potential for consumer price inflation, but an explanation for why consumer price inflation isn’t happening and isn’t likely to happen without change in the fundamental economic processes.

Specifically, monetary inflation driving asset inflation but not consumer price inflation is a sign that the money is going to people is marginal use of additional access to money is to invest rather than spend, absent changing the distribution, the outcomes aren’t going to change.

Well, your facetious advice is correct. Just switch the order. Talk to people -> build social skills -> talk to everyone -> find yourself in new friendships and relationships.

Just consider the fact that if you’re lonely, doing more of the same isn’t going to help you. It’s easy to be dismissive, but you’re going to have to push your comfort zone to find change.
I wonder if the computation was done taking into account that the wheels are rotating. I also wonder how much of a difference it would make in the output anyway.

The high price of context switching for developers and ways to avoid it
Hmm… taking your question at face value. Can you be more specific?

Is there value in nonreversibility? No, that "feature" has negative value, and it's the reason people trust credit cards.

Value in anonymity? Not at this scale, no. On net that feature just is not workable in a society built on anything other than libertarian-anarchy. And most people actually want a structured society, not fiefdoms.

Take KYC and AML laws, for example. What percentage of people do you think would say we should abolish them, if you explain what they are, and what they are for.

Open Source? The functioning of our traditional economy is pretty open in its working. It's complex, yes. But you are welcome to understand it, and participate in the process.

The "code" that the economy works on is legal code. I think where I disagree with you is that computer code is inherently more suitable. I say that as a professional programmer, who's been programming for decades.

Here's the thing: "The programs" was never the problem.

I can illustrate this best with smart contracts. They're a solution to a non-problem, while making the actual problem much worse. Contract disputes mainly come from disagreements about what the contract means, and errors in codifying intention as text.

Ability to enforce was never the biggest problem. Never. And by forcing the enforcement by using a smart contract it's actually making the problem worse, where "that's not what I meant". Yes, the default action in a real contract, without contextual evidence, is to take the wording of a contract literally (and oxford commas matter). But if there is other evidence, then yes a court will take that into account. Do you not want that? Do you honestly want a maliciously injected underhanded bug in a contract to be enforced, with no recourse?

I think the problem with your question is that people who ask it don't actually know what they're asking.

In the libertarian-anarchist utopia based on this infrastructure the enforcement methods are beyond the reach of the police. So what do you do when someone robs you? When someone uses a bug in a smart contract to take your house?

No they don't. They need fairly coarse tracking (A few feet or so.) for geolocation as that is only to make sure you end up covering the whole field.

Now for individual weeds you need precise aiming but that's only from a few feet away at max.

The overall geo location boils down to being able to track a row as you go down it and then go to the next row at the other end. The lasers don't care about the geo location at all.
However, as far as I can tell, the GPS data, in at least some cases, comes from Streetview-type camera cars which drive along the roads and capture the roadsigns.

On French highways there are context-dependent speed limit signs which look exactly like normal signs but with a small additional panel below which tells you when they apply. Eg, big 70 in a round red circle, with a small picture of a car towing a trailer below. Eg https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... which obviously only applies to cars with trailers.

Google maps (on my phone, not built-in to the car in any way) would constantly tell me that the speed limit of the road was that of the last such sign regardless of the specificity.
Sounds like the first step is figuring out a new standard to structure executive information.
I have to agree.

Governments seem like legacy code bases. Technically the laws are a form of code. People and institutions are the hardware the code runs on.

Changing requirements of the environment the machine runs in (reality) mean we must refactor and maintain the code.

If the environment changes too quickly and the code is too fragile to change at the required rate then some part of the system will crash. Enough crashes and the whole thing collapses.

Then we have to rewrite the thing from scratch with the lessons we learned from the previous version. Unfortunately some governments make use of dark patterns that are bad for users but good for a few.

What was her initial conflict with cheerleading team?

I think an unsubstantiated temper tantrum is a perfectly reasonable cause to suspend her from the team. The real cause for concern is their blanket policy against any form of criticism whether warranted or not:

> The coaches said Levy’s snap violated the team rules she had agreed to, including showing respect, avoiding “foul language and inappropriate gestures,” and a strict policy against “any negative information regarding cheerleading, cheerleaders, or coaches placed on the Internet.”

It seems like they're justifying the suspension by saying something far more incriminating. What exactly are they trying to hide? A culture of undue pressure, bullying, maybe groping? Cheerleading has after all turned into quite a sexually suggestive form of entertainment.
Crypto, gig working, social media, HFT, and ad tech are all symptoms of late-stage capitalism - perfectly neutral technical ideas that are completely unworkable in our current sociopolitical and economic structures.

Your comment is funny because in many countries all people that talk in a national assembly need to disclose their stakes. So yes I can imagine it, because a lot of parliaments work exactly like that.

And I am not sure what "both ways" means but of course you have to disclose if you have taken a short position in the matter.
I see plenty of value in many of those issues. Some appear to be just jargon or beg the question. I see zero evidence that cryptocurrency is necessary or even beneficial in solving any of those problems.
tldr if you need social interaction you need to go out and do social interactions

Anyway for me the only thing that sort of works is group sport sessions. I swim and go to group trainings twice a week. It doesn't get me any real friends, but I get people to talk to, we have chat and everything. This is the only time I don't feel lonely atm.
Going out to some advernture-like activities will be even better - camping, biking, trail walking. But you need to find group of people to go out with. It is easier to do if you work in some big company - there probably already some groups like this. I did positive experience with coworkers, but sadly it didn't last.
