Definitely turn in the subtitles, pro tip right there! Also I'd say give it a few episodes before you knock it – it's slow paced in its portrayal of the vast array of different characters, but it's time well spent. Perhaps the most well written show I've ever seen, with great performances by some amazing actors. Especially Michael K. Williams' portrayal of Omar which is nuanced, complex and very human. I'm sad to hear of his passing, a huge loss to the arts and culture.

Would pricing in another unit cause more issues or solve issues?

If customers paid a conversion to some unit each time, and conversion is determined at point of sale. One customer may pay 100pBTC for a loaf of bread, and another may pay 101pBTC.

Does that help, or make things worse?
First one's always free. The cloud providers are vying for market share, and free tiers so that people / companies have buy-in is one of the ways to do so. It worked for Dropbox.
The world does not work like that, if they starts selling bananas for 1btc (or 0.0000001, but in 3years the btc price goes to 500k) people from all over the world would go to el salvador to sell bananas to send btc abroad.
i dont get why they didn't enforce the use of a stablecoin in addition of btc tho, that would be better
Agreed the practice is not as despicable as the St. Petersburg case. (amazing city btw)

Still the question is would this person be running in the election were their name not a match or similar to someone publicly known.

These names usually appear in the middle of the list - so are unlikely to be major players themselves.

I looked through our local candidate lists and found more suspicious cases.

There are instances of not complete matches but things like a security guard from a populist party with the same uncommon last name as the prime minister at a time.

Could be pure coincidence but I doubt it.

Wait, is BTC really only doing 4 transactions a second? I knew it was bad, but I didn't realize this bad. Bitcoin is like a 1960s mainframe computer in an old bank headquarters that runs everything but is an archaic relic.
It's a normative continuum between full state regulation (i.e. totalitarian but defensive) and no state regulation (i.e. completely free speech but vulnerable).

You don't get to be the biggest by not charging people. They probably make more off accidental billing than the people who contest those accidents, so it's worthwhile. That's why Columbia House was so hard to cancel back in the day - it wasn't the $0.01 CD where they made the money, but on the monthly fees that were way more than the cost of one CD.

600 line bash scripts are not always necessary for new companies to make it. Sometimes, sure. Often, even, on the way to understand what is actually needed.

Many new companies spend too much time perfecting the wrong thing.

But messy code is NOT a requirement to make it.

Messy code, in and of itself, does not help.

Messy code might be a sort of inevitable step on the path to product/market fit. However, it is most certainly not a goal, and dealing with messy code is not a luxury. It is more likely a sign that the early tech people weren't very good.
Here's one. If you have 1 BTC and it pays for a sandwich, but that same BTC is worth a thousand sandwiches elsewhere, why would you spend it in the zoned market? Likewise, why would the sandwich shop put the btc back into the local economy?

The trusted party there are price oracles. Plus, matters are muddied by the "governance" usually built-in which adds another trusted parties who are supposed to do emergency interventions (like Fed does ;-)

I don't mean to be mean, but if you have a fundamental security issue, "solving" it with a complicated protocol that still has the same security issues deep at the core, sounds like "scam" to me. Venmo, PayPal and Bitcoin are fair in their offerings: you know who you trust with what and that's the security model without any sugarcoating.

> Road damage per-axel is proportional to the weight carried by the axel raised to the fourth power!

That's not true. But the truth is even worse than that. The effect is highly non-linear. Depending on type, composition, age and temperature, the road material require minimum load to become plastic. Below that critical load the surface can withstand wear and tear of practically infinite amount of trips (have you ever seen a road where the surface was rubbed away by passing cars?)

Of course, some aging processes continue regardless of whether cars are or are not using roads.
4 transactions a second!? I heard it was bad but that is absolutely pathetic, my local strip mall likely averages out to more then 4 transactions a second.
The quoting also helps preserve embedded non-printable characters, newlines, etc. (yes, which can appear).

When the majority of the country doesn't have internet access, a "currency" that you can only transact in via the internet seems like a poor choice. It makes it a lot easier for the government to track people though given that they are getting their citizens to download the government-sponsored wallet, which I'm sure is convenient for them.

My guess is that most people in El Salvador will download the wallet, get their $30, and then abandon it and just continue to use USD.
Disclaimer: I study this stuff as a scientist.

Yes accountability especially in the US is lacking.
But there is some, there are formal ethical codices (i.e. see NPR's https://www.npr.org/ethics), there is proper journalism training (see e.g. the Annenberg schools).

If you compare the US media to other nations, and especially if you look at them historically, they have been pretty good at this.

I'd argue that your standards are probably too high.
Accountability is a shitshow and virtually nonexistent across the globe. It's a darn lucky situation if you even have some.

[edit due to reply limit]: Of course NPR is biased, what do you expect? There is no neutrality in things that human believe. The difference is having public guidelines, committing to them and listening to criticism That's accountability.
Haha no worries. Is it obvious that a rocket run 10 times is safer than a rocket run 2 times? To my uninformed mind I would think there's an obvious tradeoff in proven functionality vs. accumulated damage from launches.

Perhaps, but I think it’s often less a matter of being afraid of calling extremists out, and more of what I heard someone once refer to as “sane-washing”. Progressives hear extremist views and say “when they say X, what they really are saying is Y. No one actually wants X”, when in reality that’s exactly what extremists want and it gives them cover to continue to push the Overton window until it’s no longer an extremist view. The above exchange is a perfect example.

You want stability. There are many ways to achieve that.

Your example above shows a 1% swing -- which is nothing. Yesterday BTC dropped by 14-18% depending on how you define it.

Imaging buying a Tesla and you budgeted for $40K but today it jumped $45K. That would throw off your plans and you wouldn't probably buy it, hoping for things to change. This means that the thing you are using for the transaction is actually preventing commerce because now timing matters. This is a hinderance to commerce and those using it will not have the liquidity/dynamic economy as compared to those using a stable currency.

This is a sign you are not using a currency for the transaction but rather an asset.

Now USD is stable in parts because it is accepted widely and everything is denominated in it. If everything was denominated in BTC, then it would have similar stability. Basically the more things are denominated in a particular currency/asset, the more stable it becomes.
This is probably the best solution since it's already illegal to tamper with odometer reading. Maybe enable people to declare long out-of-state trip mileage, like their thousand-mile road trip, so they aren't paying state tax on that.
> I understand the thought behind this but in practice it is a bad idea.

So far it is turning out to be a rather good idea, and every claim you make regarding why this would be a problem is, in fact, untrue.
[Disclosure] I'm Co-Founder and CEO of a company named http://vantage.sh/ that helps developers track and reduce cloud costs - I also previously worked at both AWS and DigitalOcean.

We hear about this all the time from AWS customers and its a large reason why people connect their account to Vantage which will help alert you if costs change intra-month. The first $2,500 in AWS costs per month are tracked for free so I thought I'd mention this here for potentially being helpful to the community.

If you don't want to remember to set up billing alerts, we provide basically a turn-key experience around this that takes less than a few minutes to setup: http://vantage.sh/
Thanks! As you say, the Pi does chew up quite a bit of the battery life, but I hope that usage should last for at least a day or two. I plan to use a 3,000 mAh battery with the thing, which seems to be quite a lot — my Pixel 4 has 2,800 mAh _and_ that doesn't even have an eInk display! For the purposes of my project, I'm not really focused on trying to make the device extremely thin either. Something relatively chunky (like 1-1.5 cm) is sometimes quite nice and welcoming imo.

I wrote up my own notes-to-self much like the author of the PaperTerm did, which provides a brief overview of my general ideas: https://github.com/inkySystems/resources

It's a tiny bit outdated since it has no mention of my idea of using a Pi CM4. I haven't got many publicly-available info about what I've done so far with my board (seeing that it's a side-side-project of mine or something to that effect...) but it's something I'm experimenting with whenever I've got time on my hands!
NPR is just as biased and deliberately misleading as any other organization. The fact that they have a link on their website is not much proof of anything.

Replying to your edit: well, that is my point. They are all biased. This idea that having a public code of conduct means anything is nonsense.

When’s the last time a mainstream media organization was held accountable for anything? Even the people that helped sell the WMD lie are still in positions of power.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/iraq...

The reality of the situation is that there are no meaningful standards of conduct and everyone is biased. Legacy brands with elite clout are no different.

> I'm most familiar with relational databases and the way in which their data is stored is generally dictated by the schema.

One of the major features of relational databases (and the improvement over their predecessors) was precisely the disconnect between logical and physical model. If the logical schema dictates how something is stored physically, then it's not a terribly good system. At the very least the intention with relational databases was to provide for this extra flexibility that previous models didn't have. Sure you don't have to exercise that flexibility but it's always been there.

> we'd be talking about a database that accepts arbitrary groupings of predefined sets of fields, which then on-the-fly determines how best to pack these individual sets together with other sets belonging to other groupings

So basically columnar storage with table inheritance would be enough to do the trick. I know there's databases for either of those features, and it's absolutely not a huge leap to put the two together. Fact is I wanted to implement something like this for CLOS but didn't have the time yet, sadly.
> I just really wanted to launch my software.

Come on. Cut the bullshit.

> Which when I began coding it, seemed completely legal and possible in Costa Rica. As the laws started to change - and even before Bitcoin came on the scene - I looked for how to do it without running afoul of anything. So it's not like I set out with a plan to exploit all the legal loopholes in the world, I just adapted my code and split it apart as necessary.

You are clearly and unequivocally stating that you set to exploit all the legal loopholes once your "grey area" was made black and white in Costa Rica.

Please, spare the thread from all that nonsense. You're not fooling anyone.
I didn't know the source code was lagging. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think, the main issue is, that the BTC price is affected by the outside world AND that the country has to import things from the outside world.

What you said would probably work if you had a token that was only minted and traded in only one country.
Every time I rewatch it, I think I like the dock season more and more.

USDC IS A BASKET OF SECURITIES. It’s literally cash plus treasuries. I don’t think Coinbase is acting in good faith when they say they don’t understand why they are getting blasted by the SEC. This is the exact same issue with the original libra coin.
This is like people who argue that tax fraud and money laundering justify banning cash to leave only trackable means of transaction. Tampering with an odometer is illegal and though some people will defraud that doesn't justify another step towards a surveillance state.

(and many more)

I have collected over ~60 domain names over the years. And while I really hate traditional domain parking sites, I also did not like the fact that my domains were sitting there idle, doing nothing.

For those interested, I scratched my own itch by building Newsy

https://www.newsy.co

It turns your un-used domain names into an automated content aggregator (i.e. Reddit clone).

I connect my domain (HTTPS enabled), I give a few keywords that are relevant to the domain name or idea that I have which I would eventually want to use with the domain and Newsy finds and displays contents based on those (e.g. News, Videos etc).

We've built various features like comments, membership, votes, automated newsletters, integration with Twitter that help your site build traffic over time.

A few examples

A truck damaging the road dis-proportionally is an economic externality [1].

Because there is a power and information asymmetry at work, and humans are not perfect rational actors.

The institutions that would want to operate these have the power to run massive advertising campaigns promoting them as the best place to earn money (with a bunch of quick disclaimers just like the various medical ads that people have gotten so used to now).

The people who would be preyed upon by this are not those with the education and experience to tell what's a sound investment and what's a bunch of bullshit, but precisely the opposite.

And though I know that there are many—perhaps you're among them, perhaps not—who would say "anyone who can fall for such a scheme deserves to lose their shirt", personally, I believe that we live in a society and we have a greater duty to care about each other than that.
