No, that is a fairly straightforward explanation of Bitcoin's utility. Bitcoin did two fundamental things:

- it was actually useful for people transacting things

- it introduced the world to blockchain as a general technology, which at this point many new things (which people find useful in ways more complex and more varied than the above) have been built atop.

The idea that BTC would be worth $0 without speculation is just poor reasoning. It misunderstands the past, ignores the present, and doesn't even look to the future, so not surprised you didn't pick up on this particular trend.

People shouldn't underestimate how many of ingredients that allow that to be true have been eroding away in the last decade or so. I don't think the resilience we've witnessed in the past to centralized control is a guarantee or in any way like an internet law of nature.
The post-view in compact mode is actually denser than before (thought it has some ugly spacing issues at the top). It’s amazing. Sadly, there seems to be no compact mode for comments, so those look horrible.

>Time to broaden your horizons, I have met plenty of C advocates and UNIX books that tell the story before C there was only Assembly as system programming language.

Without plenty of examples, one can only assume what you've experienced is outlier. I can't imagine any significant number of experienced software developers think that. Hell, other systems languages born before C are still being discussed today; go back in time and it only becomes more prominent. Unless a developer has been significantly sheltered, your assertion just isn't reasonable.
I think of the issue a different way. The problem isn't having an official communications channel, but rather, being able to communicate somewhere where the average person will actually be exposed to it. POTUS puts out memos and briefings all the time on the official whitehouse.gov site, but who actually reads those? I see the fundamental problem as attention based, rather than infrastructure based.

>Systemic racism has created a unique need for support in the Black community, yet national data shows many African American communities are woefully under-resourced and underrepresented in behavioral health care. The past year has exacerbated these challenges. The pandemic has disproportionately affected African Americans, and the repeated instances of racial injustice and police brutality have led to an increased need for mental health services in the Black community.

I'm glad this avenue is available and I'm glad this work is being done, but it's just one step towards making a more just and equitable society. Initiatives like this should be used as a bridge towards real and meaningful change in improving underserved communities affected by the legacies of slavery and current systemic racism.
That is a regional peculiarity specific to the northernmost parts of Sweden, and, I guess, the northernmost Swedish-speaking minority of Finland. Note: Sweden is very unevenly populated; the overwhelming majority of the population lives in the south half of the country, where also its three major cities are located. The northern parts of Sweden mostly consist of vast stretches of wilderness, forests, mountains, and people who talk funny.

I work with a AS400 contractor, it is all he knows. This thing was released in 1986. He has a great work/life balance and contracts with multiple medium/large companies.

SO being the only mainframe programmer left can actually be in your favor, it often turns into short and high income tasks. Many companies are running systems which are 40 years old, large banks, costco, medium businesses and the list goes on. The cost of updating this stuff is insanely expensive and if it ain't broken why fix it.

Quora ended for me when spun/copy+pasted Google results started to replace answers. For example: I asked for the science behind the EPA's recommendations on UV exposure, and the answers were all word-for-word copies of the first result in Google, which had no detail on the science behind it. Just "avoid going out before x," "wear x SPF sunscreen," but nothing about the basis for the recommendations.

That was years ago. Recently, I went looking for how to un-retweet something from an account that has since blocked me, and every single answer on every instance of someone asking that on Quora is more or less a copy of Twitter's documentation for an ordinary un-retweet. Useless search result pollution.
For me it is more mandane: there were times when people thought of human health in terms of 4 elements. [Much] Later they discovered germ theory that uses more useful concepts.

Using "memory", "perception" to describe how the brain works is like using 4 elements to describe how our bodies function.
It uses a lot of times the word "Tesla" for an article that is not about Tesla. If it were about autonomous cars in general, it would have been a great start to phrase the headline differently.

Many people on the right believe that capitalism is incompatible with the exploitation associated with practices such a feudalism and slavery. Therefore, they argue that safeguards and regulation are not needed. This is showing hat exploitation is also a feature of capitalism; therefore, the regulations are still needed.

> I disagree with this characterization, if for no other reason than the fact that the nature of the alternatives might not be entirely clear. And should the convict decide six months in that he's tired of being abused doing dangerous work so that meat suppliers can get free labor, he doesn't get time served -- that six months is just lost.

I agree with all of that, but it still doesn't make it "forced labour". Using the term "forced labour" is a larger mischaracterisation of the situation.

But, then again, in my post I did point out that there is not enough information here to determine whether the options being offered are fair, or whether the options are presented factually and truthfully.

DOS versions of AutoCad would take advantage of this if available. The command prompt would run on the Hercules card and leave all the screen real-estate of the color monitor available for drawing.
If I may ask, I would love to hear your perspective about the fuzzy, squishy reasons why hackable turns into maintainable from a management perspective.

I think I understand what you mean about the two. I know embarassingly little about electronics despite being interested in it for a long time, and have boggled at how much a circuit schematic can differ from PCB layout. On a schematic you can just go "and here are 48 data lines and we'll just draw some dots to illustrate that they yeet all the way over there" but on a PCB you not only have to route them (possibly across multiple PCB layers) but maybe some of the lines have to have squiggly messes in them so they're all exactly the same length and the electrical impulses arrive at the correct nanosecond. The good electronic engineers are the ones who've learned to fluently translate between schematic and PCB layout in their heads, in exactly the same way someone might fluently translate between languages to the point that they forget which language they heard something in, their memory just encodes the meaning directly because the neural routing is that deep/strong/integrated.

A good programmer has learned to understand/accept/integrate(/resign themselves to) the fact that the "focal point" of almost every program is in the programmer's head, not on the screen, and that whatever's onscreen is instead ultimately just a giant pile of little pinball-paddle nudges that hopefully prompt the reader to go "OH" and have the program structure "pop" into focus. Once you have that, you're good to go: that distinct mental model is detached from this class structure or that naming convention or whatever pattern, and thus not bound by the mnemonic/interpretative/structural limitations of the proverbial puzzle pieces that constitute the methodology; it's the superset of all of that and all the machinery that hasn't been set into stone yet.

It is so, so weird how programming slams right up against the edge of design/engineering/bigger-picture-greater-than-the-sum-of-the-parts vs Management™.
The laws were intentionally created to restrict supply of services. Restricted supply = higher prices.

This is gold. What if you mirror it on two TV screens, but one has a slight latency, because HDMI->SCART something something connector?
And yet, we have a minimum wage, maximum hours allowed to work, accident insurance, mandated sick days, mandated vacation days and other things.

If we did not mandate them by law, people could "choose" not to work at places that did not offer the above. However, that choice would probably entail "not having a job at all" which tends to be rather shitty.

My point being "it is voluntary" is not a reasonable excuse for treating lower class workers inhumanely.

That should be followed by a long discussion of what counts as "inhumane treatment". Where there is much room for disagreement still. But I don't think it is defensible to claim "they could quit" when someone else says "these conditions are inhumane and should be stopped".

This narrative is funny for a couple of reasons. The first being that Taxi companies were never super-profitable nor, generally, did they span multiple metropolitan centres. Uber/Lyft radically centralized Taxi service replacing a supposed "cartel" with a much better capitalized and politically powerful duopoly.

As for the superior service, I'm not sure that will last once the VC funding runs out and these companies have to actually turn a profit. Uber/Lyft is MoviePass writ large.

The success of a military system comes from it being able to muster strength in numbers, train and equip them appropriately. And all this depends on the economic system underneath.

A European feudal monarch might only have a few thousand men under his direct command, with the rest coming from levies from his vassals. This limits the amount of strength one person can hold on a battlefield, though the issue of lower-level leaders is already solved (this problem will always be present.) Compare this to nation-states being able to field massive armies under the control of one person.

In the same way, not being able to take advantage of all of the people in a society is a problem too. I am unsure to what effect caste inflected military participation. I doubt it was ever so strict as to prevent farmers from taking up arms. I'm unsure how many peasant rebellions happened in India, relative to other areas. China certainly had many. AFAIK, for much of Indian history there was more land than people to till it, so lords had to be careful to induce them to stay, lest they run away to better areas, with lower taxation and such.

> Bicycles are not toys. They are vehicles that need maintenance. You can do much of that maintenance yourself if you're a nerd, but the vast majority of cyclists are dependent on local bike shops to sustain the cycling community.

This is true. Although, I'm afraid the business model of a local bike shop is not sustainable at the moment, at least in Europe where the markups on components and service are just outrageous. It almost seems like the industry is following the footsteps of car industry which is based on franchised D2C sales points and incredibly high margins on servicing.

Unfortunately, for folks who want to save money the only option is to learn how to maintain and fix your own bike using components sourced from online stores.
