Primary residence has utility. Additional properties typically have a real cash flow. Stocks have price appreciation typically due to higher current and projected earnings, dividends, and buybacks, and yes they are somewhat inflation resistant since they also have limited supply. This makes for average returns of 10% plus dividends.

Bitcoin is a collectible. It is very much like gold, which has a far longer history and similarly high transaction costs. Gold, in my view, is also a collectable, and it's frequently advertised as such. (Just look at the gold coin ads and compare to BTC.)

Controversial view: fiat currencies are also a collectible. The difference being it's universally accepted tender, its government enforced, you're taxed in it, transaction costs are cheap, and insanely fast (moving money can be a pain). This is what makes fiat a proper currency. Also, while we like to make fun of central banks for money printer go brr, there's real value in the stability they provide. The Great Depression was a disaster because of the lack of monetary response, and banks of the world have learned since.

Also, there are heavy incentives for governments to drive use of their currencies, and there's a LOT of competition from governments to dethrone USD. China, for one, is trying to internationalize the renmimbi and dethrone USD in its sphere of influence. Do you really think they're going to give BTC the space to thrive?

Now, let me be clear, my view on crypto is nuanced--I'm very exited about DeFi and ETH2, but my longterm view on BTC is a bit sober.
That is a sexy home page. It draws the attention, and even a lazy reader understands exactly what's happening thanks to the live illustration!
The context for this, simplified, rule is policy, power granted to government or institutions (companies, ...) over other people.

You have not shown a real scenario how bitcoin could work without an energy armes race.

The power consumption is NOT arbitrary: Everyone who owns bitcoins has to be motivated to keep bitcoin alive. More people having bitcoin means more people need to make sure that mining is happening.

The second point is, bitcoin mining requires a certain amount of distribution to work as intended which leads to: you need a critical mass of people doing the mining as you can't just trust 3 people mining it for you and you trusting them. Especially as bitcoin is often mentioned as being 'free'. Therefore you can't just go to a bank or country and let them mine it with nearly no power consumption.

The third point is: Mining has to be motivational enough and therefore it will hover between being worth to do so in countries like USA (for distribution reasons) and gambling (gambling provides high margin with high risks and i think that could be a good UPPER resource consumption limit).

Forth: Bitcoin mining always needs an incentive which makes it competitive: If everyone can mine unlimited and there is no factor to determine who can mine more, than it just doesn't work anymore.

We now have a system which ALWAYS consumes resources and its critical to understand 'consume'. That resources is gone. Otherwise your proof of work wouldn't work anymore.

A global economy is easy able to destroy something like bitcoin: China can just ban it, countries can put pressure on other countries like USA and partners do with North Korea. No country has a benefit of allowing bitcoin. A country has control over their currency and they like to keep the control.

"the new world economy" what? Do you think we have our current financial system just for fun and we all move to bitcoin? Our current financial system is build and has grown over a long period. We all LIKE that current system. I like to be able to go to my bank and show my passport and get my money. I like to know that untaxed money is harder to hide. I like the knowlwedge that you can't transfer high amount of money from left to right without an external party looking over it for money laundring. Those systems are beneficial for every normal human being.

Actually, the counter-argument is "innocent people get killed by already convincted murderer that went out of jail"...

ECONOMICS: Another counter-argument is "the society pay for the whole life of the jailed murderer, so it's a cost paid by the society for something that broke society laws"

And then another argument is "a murderer may prefer to be killed than to be kept in jail for the rest of his life".

Actually, there's a whole philosophical debate around all this: what is the role of the sanction ? Is it revenge from breaking society laws ? Is it revenge from the victim ? Can someone that broke society laws (even in murder case) be changed by the jail time and come back to the society as a good citizen or are some crimes the mark that this people are forever lost to the society ?

I'm against the death penalty. I'm french so we don't have it since 1980. And we don't really have "forever jail": it's 20 years I think and can even be shortened if prisoner show in jail that he's ready to come back to society (except if it would be a trouble for the society). As a consequence, there's from time to time a convicted criminal, out of jail after a reduced time, that kill/rape someone again. And each time, there's a public discussion about this...

Things like laundry labels are an international language. They are understood (or not) irregardless of country and written language.
The premise is that there no more worthier causes than bitcoin beyond the grid needs. That premise is simply false. You can use excess grid capacity for lots of useful things including water desalination, charging cars at off peak hours, producing hydrogen. These are all applications that can flexibly use clean/cheap power when it is available instead of putting a constant load on the grid. This solution would compete with all of that. Excess grid energy is a resource that we need to use more effectively. Wasting it on bitcoin is pointless. Nobody really needs bitcoin except those living on hoarding it; which is pretty much the only thing you can do with it.

In the same way a lot carbon capture schemes use clean energy to slightly reduce (but not completely solve) the amount of CO2 added to our atmosphere. A better use of that clean energy is to completely remove the need for adding more CO2 to our energy (rather than just partially) through alternatives that make better/more efficient use of the clean energy that these capture schemes take.

Given that there are more laws than can be feasibly enforced, the police and the prosecutors effectively have to make a decision.

It's always been one of the minor annoyances in my life - clothing and clothing-adjacent vendors put these icons on their products, and I have no first clue what they mean, because which family of signs is used seems to depend on some combination of country of origin, target market, and the position of Saturn relative to Jupiter.

You know, this exact same idea could be done in such a way that doesn't dehumanize the, uh, humans.

In fact, I bet your mileage would even increase if you could figure out a way to actually respect even the grunt laborers.

That is, I like the idea of streamlining your workflow, of compartmentalizing, of assembly lining. I like the ideas of integrating that which can be fully automated with what cannot. And of making tools to increase these objectives

But your teams will see the labels on the tools, and the sites that vend them. If they feel they are being "cogged", they will work like cogs. The site should mix the terms that describe their goal, with terms that respect humans as humans. It would sell better to the workers, and I suspect that in smaller companies and companies that have smaller teams, would sell better to the managers as well.

> Promotion is something different -- it's interviewing for a brand new job, by proving you're already doing that job.

Every large corporation has a concept of levels. It makes sense to use levels as a progression (they are numeric after all) rather than a new job each time. That’s what job titles/roles are for.

I’m not convinced by this summary, and it seems anecdotal rather than realistic.
You are misunderstanding the reasoning behind symbol inclusion in Unicode.

It’s not about “what could be handy” but about what is needed to cover character encoding already in broad usage.

Japan was early adopter of cellphone internet. One way to save data usage was to compose graphics as characters in a proprietary encoding (specific to the carrier!)

Basically, in order to move Japanese handsets of custom encodings and onto Unicode compatible systems, Unicode needs to be able to display not just all the Japanese characters but also the weird graphics that carriers decided to come up with in order to decorate their online services. This is also why there is so much Japanese food characters.
It's effectively free if you have no other opportunistic use for it. For example it's free if you don't have a smart electrolyzer attached to it. If you do have one, then it's not free. (Likewise it's not free either if you have no wasted overgeneration.)

}
function mark {
mkdir -p $MARKPATH; ln -s $(pwd) $MARKPATH/$1
}
function unmark {
rm -i $MARKPATH/$1
}
function marks {
ls -l $MARKPATH | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | sed 's/ -/\t-/g' && echo
}

Another neat trick is to set you .inputrc to vi mode with

set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi

and then put this in your .bashrc

bind -m vi-insert -x '"\C-h"':'"pushd . 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && cd ../ && echo -e ${LILA} $PWD && ls"'
bind -m vi-insert -x '"\C-n"':'"popd 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo -e ${LILA} $PWD && ls"'
bind -m vi-insert -x '"\C-b":"cd $HOME && echo -e ${LILA} $PWD && ls"'

This enables you to go a directory up using ctrl-h and go back using ctrl-n.
> If the patch gets through, then that proves one of the most critical pieces of software could relatively easily be infiltrated by a malicious actor, which means the review process is broken.

That is a complete misunderstanding of the Linux dev process. No one expects the first reviewer of a patch (the person that the researchers were experimenting on) to catch any bug. The dev process has many safeguards - several reviewers, testing, static analysis tools, security research, distribution testing, beta testers, early adopters - that are expected to catch bugs in the kernel at various stages.

Trying to deceive early reviewers into accepting malicious patches for research purposes is both useless research and hurtful to the developers.

Text is symbols.

New website uptime and performance monitoring tool
Hello, I've just released together with my fella a new tool for website uptime and performance monitoring. It is divided into two categories:

- Performance Monitors - Allows for tracking over period of time performance metrics like WebVitals, number and size of website external calls, SpeedIndex or other front performance related metrics,
- Uptime Monitors - Allows for uptime monitoring of public endpoints. HTTP, PING, and TCP checks are available. The HTTP check provides a lot of useful details like cert expiration, waterfall view of the entire HTTP session. Allows for creating alerts that - currently - can alert you on the slack channel.

Free plan included, for paid plan for testing as entire development team contact me at ks@dtekt.io. If you have a feedback please use the Feedback form which you can find in the menu. Any feedback appreciated!

Cheers :)!

Here is one additional bookmark solution [1]:

export CDPATH=.:~/.marks/

function mark {
ln -sr "$(pwd)" ~/.marks/"$1"
}

mark @name # create a bookmark
cd @name # jump to bookmark
cd @<tab> # list bookmarks
cd @n<tab> # auto-complete
cd @name/<tab> # can access sub-directories within bookmarks

Works best when bookmarks are prefixed by "@" or other special symbol. Additional advantage is that you can use the same function `cd` to navigate both bookmarked and regular directories.
