No, ponzi means that proceeds from later investments pay returns to earlier investors, this is not what is happening with Bitcoin. It might be what's happening to tether (in a sense that they pay withdrawals out of recent deposits and rely on having more deposits that withdrawals). Bitcoin might be a bubble like tulips, but it's certainly not a ponzi scheme in any "classic sense."
> You can't just 'create' a Bitcoin out of thin air and say - hi guys, here is my Bitcoin.

Sure you can. If your "counterfeit miner" secretly works 1000X faster than the miners everyone uses, you can still most certainly say "here is my Bitcoin" and it will be usable.

If the hashes you generate are indistinguishable from the hashes generated by an AntMiner, you have made Bitcoin out of thin air.

Yes, creating such a "counterfeit miner" would involve technological feats. But that shouldn't be the deciding factor here. It's still a PoW coin and assuming you are a super-powered genius hardware inventor with an insanely advanced lab, you can do the work much more efficiently without anyone knowing. And the coins would be actually legal to use.

Which is VASTLY different from USD in that if you have a secret lab to create USD bills that are indistinguishable from the real thing, it's still illegal.

With Bitcoin, it's still decentralized, i.e. printed out of thin air. If the coins you generate work with the system, they're legal and valid, it doesn't matter how you generate them or how much work you really did.
Sure, there is a notable bump (with all the usual reporting caveats) in 2020-21; but that doesn't change the general trend. Or at least so far that doesn't seem the case.
That was a much more interesting read than I expected. Well worth the time.
I think that's what happens when your root is in enterprise software or at least some of your heritage is in enterprise. I have no great love for MSFT but I agree with you about their willingness to support things well past their expected expiration. IIRC they even went so far as to detect programs that used some "bugs" in earlier versions of Windows and emulated those same buggy behaviors just for those programs.

If anyone is interested in a (semi!) working version of feature previews that is open source, I threw together https://gitlab.com/Rodeoclash/StageHand

It takes a branch in GitHub and use a config file to bootstrap the application inside a K8's cluster using a "docker in docker" model. If you could describe your infrastructure as a docker-compose.yml then you can launch it as a preview.

I'm not really a marketing person so it never went any further than a proof of concept. However, if someone is interested in working with it then I'm happy to support getting it running.

You saw around a 30% increase in homicide rates in large cities last year, and that increase began suddenly at the beginning of June. No environmental cause like exposure to lead can cause that.

The Mother Jones article referenced above is arguing that the most effective thing that can be done to combat crime is lead abatement, I think that argument has taken a fatal hit. Some cities are in fact seeing homicide rates close to or even above the 1990s rates, that happened suddenly and it happened after leaded gasoline had been banned for 45 years.

You can't explain the massive increase in homicide in large cities in 2020 using environmental factors like lead, the cause has to be cultural or political.

Young people tend to be economic migrants and the pockets of mass economic growth start in cities. They're also single and relatively poor so they live in multi-tennant housing near the downtowns where they work. As they get older, richer and more numerous (i.e. married w/ kids) they move out of the core. Cycle repeats with rising prices if growth is still there, or you hollow out the city and only the poorest remain. SF could stay like it is, or become a west-coast steel town, but it's unlikely to return to what it once was.

After 22 years coding, in 2001 the dotcom bust ejected me into finding an alternate income/career. I explored various options sequentially from getting my used car salesman and real estate licenses without any success - qualified to be a mortgage broker just as the subprime crisis hit. I also worked on trying to set up web commerce trading mostly in used gear from the dotcom bust which just about paid the mortgage for a couple of years. Also gave $20/hr golf lessons via Craigslist and developed some sudoku websites that still earn a modest income from adsense today. Eventually in 2007 I dusted off my resume and got a coding job again and this was a huge relief to have a regular income and health benefits again etc. SO maybe the coding job isn't so bad after all, but you won't see that until you find out how hard it is to make a living in other ways. If you want to move into management it seems to me in retrospect that that is all about getting things done so maybe try and optimize that.
It's kind of funny reading this, as I know someone from my Midwestern state who decided to move to SF in the middle of the pandemic. I'm curious as to what happens once everything reopens, will people move back, or is this a permanent change?

That's completely false. Anyone can mint an NFT. Artists have minted some of them, and other NFTs are created without the artists' permission.

Freenode was a very popular (for its target) irc server used by a lot of open source projects and communities over decades.

Freenode was managed by volunteers without any official organisation. A couple years ago, the person that the volunteers considered their "head" informally made a UK company that would own at least the name and domain name, merely out of a wish to have some legal structure instead of random staff users owning random parts of it. How much of it is owned by the company is very vague, staff are not on contract, servers are loaned without any paper signed by third parties, ...

Then recently, that head sold said company to Andrew Lee's company, who made the promise to the staff to not involve himself. Then that head pushed for profits ads on the website, with no warning nor explanation, and with the profits going to said company. Staff complained a lot, head is removed from the freenode staff and then removed from the board of the company she had sold.

Conflict of management erupts, and was justified freenode having no clear admin structure. But Lee comes out of it acting as if he was the boss and owner of the entire platforms, ask that servers and users data gets transferred to him. When staff rebels and refuse that, he "removes them", which ends up with the hilarious moment of him asking them to de-op themselves (remove their admin status) which he can't do himself since he doesn't even have the authority. On several occasion he claims that "the board of freenode voted to have you removed", while he means the board of his private company freenode ltd (which the staff have no relation of any kind with), and he is the only member of said board.

Most of staff agrees about a need for a proper structure, but refuse to see everything transferred to an opaque and for profit company. Lee argue that's it's the only solutions. Several head of major communities or projects hosted on freenode make the suggestion of transferring the control and data to an official not for profit like the FSF and Lee and staff being given the lead in the interim to a proper governance.

Lee reacts by trying to "bribe" some of them with admin powers and/or financial sponsorship for their project if they side with him, which goes terribly wrong, and them saying "Now I will never have anything to do with Freenode under Lee anymore".

That's a summary of the event as understood by me. It seems the governance issue was real, but it also seems one side is saying "it should be owned by a non profit with clear governance and clear rules for data protection" and the other side, Lee, is saying "all the data and admin privileges should be given to my for profit that doesn't report to anyone else than me".

Frankly, while there is gray on both side, his action made it pretty clear that I wouldn't want any of my data in his hands.
I think it's really easy how normalized a person can get to petty crime. Like a frog in boiling water. You'll talk to people in SF who totally brush off smash-and-grabs.

Question - when did the VC model really come into play? Were the Fairchildren like AMD VC funded?

A lot of others have mentioned that space plays a role in this a lot. Companies needed fabricators and data centers, which took up space, so it was too expensive to be in the city.

Is this really all there was to it? Back in these times - there was White Flight from the cities, right? Did most people (even college grads) prefer to work in the suburbs then? Was this even a factor at all?

We looked around a bit but Electron worked so well for us when we started development in 2019 that we didn't have a need to continue searching. Electron also has such a strong community and momentum behind it that I'm happy to continue using it.

Sciter looks interesting and so does Tauri. Perhaps one of those will win out next time we do a deep dive here. :) Until then I've been really impressed with how well Electron is working when paired with Rust.

This is great. Of course it needs more features but it's a great start.

Yeah, contact support. I've done this with both Azure and AWS, and they refunded me without much effort.
Last year, I added firewall rules to my router to block:

* Any outbound DNS and DNS-over-TLS requests coming from anything other than my Pi-Hole
* Any outbound HTTPS requests to DNS-over-HTTPS providers that I know of

It's surprising how many hits I got to those block rules. Makes me very worried about the adoption of DoH: all its privacy and anti-tampering advantages also apply to devices that violate privacy, like smartphones and smart TVs. I want to keep those under control.

I'm curious about your setup: how many devices do you have in your network that you need a load-balanced Pi-Hole setup!? My RPi4 has been rock-solid, but it sounds it doesn't have to handle nearly as much load as yours. Makes me wonder if my next hardware purchase should be a small server to host a hypervisor instead of a single RPi.
Auth0 does, but IIRC it does not support multiple or not-last wildcards. Ie “app.*.preview.<domain>” does not work.

> But they blend in wider Bay Area population stats because this is really about jobs that generate SF payroll tax which gives these employers a tacit say and leverage.

SF doesn’t have local payroll tax, it has a local income tax that applies both to residents and to nonresidents on income earned in SF.

EDIT: Actually, this is wrong, too; despite a lot of sources indicating it. Sab Francisco had a 1.5% payroll expense tax, but voted to phase it out in 2012, and then (while it had declined to a much lower but nonzero number), voted to eliminated it last year, both times in favor of a gross receipts tax on business

> Blockchain automagically makes selling of something impossible?

This issue here wasn't about selling something - unfortunately in India when it comes to land, possession is nine tenths of the law. It doesn't matter if you're the true legal owner if somebody else claims physical possession and has a vaguely genuine looking piece of paper. Proving or disproving the veracity of that piece of paper takes many many years, and in this aspect India is different from many other places in the world.

> How is this a) different from my examples

It's not very different from your example, though my anecdote is meant to demonstrate some of the real life issues meant to be addressed. I'm not convinced that a blockchain is the correct solution, but I can understand the motivation.

> You don't need "modification". All you need is the next entry: "the rightful owner of X is now Y". How is blockchain going to prevent anyone from doing this?

Unless I'm misunderstanding how blockchains work, how can that next entry be created without being signed by my private key (and my consent)? I have no idea if any concrete suggestions have been made around the architecture of land record blockchains, but it could presumably be something like a multisignature wallet: each transaction has to necessarily be signed by the seller, buyer, & government authority.

Of course, like I stated in my original comment, I'm not convinced that blockchain is the correct solution here, or how certain issues could be realistically resolved.
I’m amused that you expect someone who openly thinks money is a joke to grasp the subtleties of what constitutes a Ponzi scheme.

I know Ponzi schemes are bad. I think your money is bad. Therefore, your money is a Ponzi scheme. That’s the entirety of the logic employed by the comparison.

Yes. The [Ctrl|alt]+Shift actually feels more comfortable than a regular keyboard, since it's very easy to stretch the pinky and the thumb, and still have 3 fingers available (you can reach any other key). The same is true in both sections of the keyboard. Learning to use both shift and ctrl keys (depending on which key comes next) is something that takes some getting used to, but feels very natural.

The problem I have with INS is due to it's position, requiring generally the ring finger to overflex to reach it, making it unbalanced to use compared to other keys.
Apple wasn't terribly interesting until maybe the mid-2000s. OK they were interesting in the Apple religion sense but it really took some combination of OS X, the 4G iPod, and eventually the iPhone taking off to put them in their current category. One could argue that Apple wasn't "a force to be reckoned with" until the late 2000s.

It's probably some kind of fraud, but not a Ponzi. A Ponzi operates under the pretence that it's an investment scheme whereas tether does not. A tether is a token that isn't supposed to appreciate over time and as such can't be seen as an investment.
