"It's done so much for human well-being, but it's far from perfect."

ok I'm not interested in religions to be honest.
I said nothing about the person, just the spaces.

And considering that Richard Spencer himself called Bitcoin, "the currency of the alt-right" it's not surprising if there's cultural cross-pollination.

A European buddy visiting the states commented to me, some years ago, about how flimsy American construction was. "Back home we build things to last 500 years," and so on.

Part of that difference is that we don't want things to last that long. Expectations are that within 50 or 100 years this building will no longer be wanted in anything like its current form, so why build for longer? Just makes the teardown effort that much more expensive.

There's argument to be made for investing more in infrastructure like roads; but again there's a counter argument to be made in favor of the way things have evolved and are done now. Fresh roads are smooth and level and "fixing potholes" is never going to be cheaper or produce better results than occasional full refurbishments do.

Kind of a Laffer curve: Durable, low frequency but expensive maintenance vs flimsy, cheaply and often maintained and often rebuilt.
not sure if this comment is satire or not, but hilarious nonetheless
There's a growing body of work that sees markets as state projects. The same way a game is defined by it's rules, markets are defined by the rules governing them. Without that, you basically have no market. Just crooks separating people from their resources.
Depending on what financial reasons you mean, consider the US Virgin Islands as an alternative. It's right next door to PR but is English-speaking.
Probably not, last time (~4 years ago) it went ~75% down, so now it most probably will go to max 15k.
That question can't prop up a liquidity crisis.

If everyone runs for the exits then crypto suffers an old fashioned bank run, and it doesn't matter if it has any intrinsic value. A bank suffering a run still has loans on the books that are being paid back, but it has a cash crisis and people can't withdraw. A systemic failure starts knocking over institutions one by one as they each hit a liquidity crunch and don't have cash. Once the music stops playing everyone tries to grab some of the remaining chairs and get out. If all the cash is removed from the system and there's still billions in demand trying to exit while there's only a trickle of people trying to catch a falling knife, then it is going to overshoot and unwind to very nearly zero.

The reason why we have things like FDIC, is to prevent things like this, but crypto decided that was all old fashioned thinking. As a result, crypto is buttressed only by some billionaires who are true-believers in it, and if it only takes a few billion here or there then they may produce a bailout package for the system. If not, then the system will fail.

... and isn't what it says it is.

It's not decentralized. It's not free or self-sovereign. It's not honest money. It's not a store of value or an inflation hedge.

It's also not free of nation state influence. Any nation state that wanted to invest the money could 51% attack or more likely sabotage these systems in a more covert way. Nasty dictatorships like North Korea or Putinistan constantly scam and hack the cryptocurrency ecosystem to siphon off money to fund their regimes. Any state could place regulations in the way of the actual use of cryptocurrency and kill it even if the tech worked fine.

It might have been some of those things when it was small. Since then scaling problems inherent in this first generation of the tech led to all forms of hidden centralization, industrial economies of scale led to mining cartels, and perverse economic incentives (some built into the crypto system) led to it being dominated by scams, gambling, and pyramid schemes.

Its goals were not necessarily bad. It just failed to achieve them.

Edit: social media also failed to achieve many of its goals, becoming instead a cesspool of bullshit and a dragnet for surveillance. I think there's a lesson in here about how totally unique unknown unknown problems tend to manifest in interactive information systems at enormous scale. Systems behave very differently when you scale them out to millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of participants or nodes than they do at toy or early adopter scale. It's not just decentralized systems that are bitten by this. Centralized media are bitten too, just in different ways by different sorts of problems.

If you are brave enough, you can loop through the optional JSON output with jq and then curl every link found.

However, I do not recommend doing this blindly without first making sure you won't be unsubscribing from something important to you.

Note that this curl loop may not work for all links as some are not "one click unsubscribe" links and may require additional steps.

I don’t think there’s a silver bullet, but common sense regulation should be able to stop things like the Stablegains fiasco, where VCs pay to promote an obviously fraudulent 15% earnings guarantee backed by investing in a Ponzi scheme. Impose disclosure requirements when crypto companies make income promises or something.

We could bootstrap the format. First repeatedly send a p × q bit stream (with p and q prime) that teaches the aliens about a compressed format F1, then send a larger F1-encoded description of format F2, send a F2-encoded description of F3, …, send a Fn-encoded description of mp4, and then send a mp4-encoded video.

For a simple version of that, see https://rosettaproject.org/, which uses large print to make it much more likely intelligent life will discover the small print.

I don’t see video as high on the list of things we would like to send, though. There’s lots and lots of stuff we should send earlier, such as data on physical constants and chemical elements (things we expect any aliens to know, and that they could use to decipher our language)
If the current inflation is caused by external forces like the war in Russia causing gas prices to increase dramatically and impact everything, are we likely to see a period of deflation in a year or two?
> The people of the US simply aren’t the kind of people to do what the OP suggests.

While "nuke half the world" is a bit of obvious hyperbole, I think it is a mistake to write off the risks of the US as the sole nuclear power. It's not that Americans are particularly evil or good, but that unrestricted power is dangerous.

There is a reason our constitution is designed to avoid placing too much power in anyone's hands. Unmitigated power is a risk and un-mitigated American nuclear power definitely increases the risk that it will used.

The more interesting topic is if it was globally worth trading that risk for the risk of global annihilation.
Neat tip, thanks!
OP here. Per the article, it's not "psychology" - it's a whole lot of borrowing on the defi markets that will automatically be liquidated if the number goes too low. You could actually watch these guys in real time, pumping scarce actual-dollars into the market to pump the price. And then sellers dumping directly into the pump. "Thanks for the exit liquidity!"
It means that it behaves like stock market, nothing more, nothing less.
Most "investing" isn't investing either. When you buy Facebook shares on the NYSE not a penny is going to Facebook, you're just transferring shares from one person to another at a new price

There's no way to quantify numerically a fair value for bitcoin like you can with equities.

So yes, no fundamental/mathematical reasoning for why it should be 10k vs 20k vs 0.

You can assume there will always be some level of interest, so 0 is probably impossible, but can trend towards it.
Somehow I forgot the most important food, which I eat daily now and credit with saving my health, wish I could add it to the parent list:

Maybe something like thresholditis. People would say "If it hits 20K I'll sell" and a set of other people think "If it hits 20K I'll buy" so it fluctuates around 20K...
Every generation looks at technological progress and predicts the obvious conclusion, that people will have more leisure time. It’s easy to see that what you are doing now will be easier and quicker. They don’t see the new things that people will be doing, new social structures to adapt and compete in, new information to process, and especially the cognitive burden of managing risk in so many new choices.

The simplest example that we can relate to may be email. Before email, writing letters was awful. You got out a nice pen and paper and whiteout, and carefully wrote in your best penmanship a few pages to your grandmother thanking her for a nice new pair of socks. You did this twice a year. Now we have email, and the whole family sends low-effort messages and photos every day. Nobody would have guessed that this was any sort of need, but you do need to do it because family inclusion and affection is now competitive and that is a basic need.

Almost nothing we are spending our time on right now would be considered a need even 50 years ago, but most of it is spent trying to satisfy a need that was easy for them. Much of that is spent “working”, which is mostly now just wasted time and miserable interactions under artificial stress and unending hours. That makes people feel awful, and ruins any leisure time they might have had.

Any by the way, some people here are saying that rich people have leisure on the backs of the working class. Just look at their families. They’re not healthy, nor happy. They are scared to death in every moment of losing everything, and they can’t trust anybody. Don’t envy them. It may look like leisure but it doesn’t feel like it.
it has less to do with that and more to do with forced liquidation numbers
Just wanted to point out that "content with programming ability" to me is not the same as "I am done learning". I just feel that the competency I have in turning a problem into code is good enough for the time being, and it would serve me better to increase my skills in other areas for now. Software engineering after all, is much more than programming.
I'm a fan of Patreon, but in my experience, it's not a well known platform outside of tech. I've mentioned it a number of times to a variety of different musicians, music producers, etc., and until maybe the past year none of them had ever heard of it, though recently one had.

I think it does have the potential to be like Kickstarter and really broaden the appeal of this type of contribution, but from what I can see, it hasn't actually managed to do that part yet -- both based on articles like this one and my own anecdotal experience.
I would make a model of myself create a nice background, then detect face expressions, apply them to the model and stream the model while I work shirtless from a dirty basement.
I've been thinking about something similar. A polyvalent UI with CLI, GUI, and AUI (audible user interface). The AUI could be implemented as a TUI/HTML page (to leverage existing work on screen readers) but designed to be read rather than seen.
In other words, small shell scripts put on server side. Stuff like echo $TEXT | wc -w.

Every cycle brings in more “true” bitcoiners that will DCA and buy BTC at any price. It will go up again. Just a matter of time.

A bit tired of these “Bitcoin is dead” articles. They almost never adds anything to the discussion.
> It predates the co-opting by the alt-right though.

So does the "OK" gesture. The swastika existed for almost 2000 years, and was a good luck symbol, even in the west, until 1930s. The sonnenrad, the othal rune, the Celtic cross, and the triskele.
It wasn't, though. You replied to this comment which was referring to undocumented immigrants: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31784073
It’s simple: They are our proletariat.
I mean, these kinds of assumptions are exactly why so many people complain about it.

Who is the "we" in your statement?

Different people are different. They have different preferences and needs, so any change in people within the car requires changing the system... It's why cars have zones of climate control for everyone.

Also, body temperature and ambient temperature are two different things, and different people feel varying levels of discomfort when their bodies are too hot or cold. Some people's bodies regulate their body temperature in different ways. Think the elderly, people of varying BMIs, or someone going through menopause.

Also there's countless situational reasons someone might have a body temperature that is different than ambient temperature. Eg it's very cold out and someone just got in the warm car and they need to warm their hands.

If you find yourself surprised when so many people complain about a problem that you're not experiencing, you might want to ask them instead of assuming they're ignorant.

Less than two years ago Bitcoin traded below $10k. It's a volatile asset so of course it's going to go down as fast as it goes up. This doesn't mean that this is the end of Bitcoin, just that yet another Bitcoin bubble is deflating.

The inflation hedge narrative never actually made economic or even logical sense. It’s true that Bitcoin itself will have a fixed supply some day in the future when mining new block rewards go to zero, but you would still have to overlook the fact that Bitcoin as a resource was arbitrarily willed into existence just like the 10,000+ other coins and more that are being created every day. If you look at the crypto space as a whole, coins and NFTs and mining rewards are being created at an unsustainable pace. The only thing driving prices up is inflows of speculative money to the space, and as soon as those inflows stop, prices across the board will crash exactly like we’re seeing.

Bitcoin proponents will try to push that argument that Bitcoin should be the only crypto considered and all other coins ignored, but it doesn’t really work that way in the real world. Even if we look at Bitcoin as the coin and a digital version of gold, a lot of people are surprised to learn that even actual gold hasn’t performed all that well as an investment.

If you want an inflation hedge, investing in actual things that are scarce, in demand, and hard to produce is key. A digital currency that was imagined into existence with computer code can be arbitrarily scarce enough, but that alone doesn’t make it valuable. It has to remain in demand to keep the price up, and Bitcoin’s demand is almost entirely driven by speculators hoping to get rich quickly. Once the coin stops being viewed as a way to get rich quickly, the demand dries up and prices start crashing.
People like to write about utopia but don't really spend time on the core technology that enables it. Self-replicating machines etc.
Apple has a lot of other bugs in their code, too. Did you ever try to delete a Bootcamp partition and merge it to you main disk when using their new filesystem? It corrupts the disk and in order to be able to reallocate the disk space you need to completely wipe the Mac and start fresh.
The Stock Market, S&P 500, is down 20% year-to-date (6-months).

BTC is down 33% *in a month*. Its not even remotely comparable. YTD, its below 60%.

I got some buddies in Celsius right now. Has there ever been a circumstance in "the stock market" where you've been unable to access your funds for a week, with _NO_ contact from the CEO or an explanation of what the hell is going on?

EDIT: Whatever happened to "inflation hedge" and "store of value" promises from the community by the way? No one in the stock market promised those things. But as inflation ticked up to 9%, BTC completely collapsed.

> Investing in mitigations is not free. The time and effort it takes to develop them is not available for constructing bug-free code.

I feel like this is a bit of a false dichotomy. Writing bug-free code is one approach to getting bug-free software. Attempting to detect UAF at run time is another approach. And there are many other options beyond those two (static analysis, sanitizers, testing, ...).

In theory, we need only the ability to write bug-free code. If we could do this reliably, repeatedly, in a reasonable amount of time and at a large scale (Chromium, in this case), then there would be no value in investing in any of these other approaches.

In practice, fixing every last bug in a large codebase can take a truly immense amount of time. And that is for a codebase that is not changing at all (including bug fixes!), which certainly does not describe Chromium or most large projects for that matter.

Given all that, it's entirely reasonable to think about how one can find the most bugs with the least amount of effort. And that's basically what this is--another form of automated bug detection. I really don't think it's intended as a substitute for correct code.

Sort of. BAYC is actually doing a bit more and is granting the owners of various NFTs a license to use the image of the associated ape. It is much easier to steal an NFT than to steal other forms of copyright license.
A huge crash in crypto prices is a great thing for people working on regular old startup/Saas cash flow businesses. A lot of potential investment and a modest amount of talent has been siphoned out of the real productive economy into the crypto ponzi zone. I for one am excited that I will never need to think about some BS "tokenomics" story for my startup to sell to some investor and I am looking for a return to VCs that invest in businesses with solid growth, unit economics, and cashflow.
Wait, what? I think I'm missing something because the price difference is still there. This argument is old as the hills but has generally held up.

The 2020 MBA (to avoid having arguments comparing ARM and x64 cpus) launched at $1000 started at a 256GB disk, 1.1GHz two-core i3, and 8GB of RAM.

A quick search will find the 2020 Acer Swift 3, $700, with a 512GB disk, 1.8GHz eight-core Ryzen 7, and 8GB of RAM. It looks pretty sleek, metal, and thin too.

I do mean this sincerely, am I missing something? Because I don't know of any perspective where the price-spec gap disappears with Apple laptops. When people talk about buying Apple "for the hardware", I really don't think the argument is about the specs.
Because most buying Bitcoin are speculators trying to make money. Same as the people buying tech stocks at 100x sales multiples.

When there's no fundamental to support a price, it just moves on the whim of risk on/risk off
As a heavy Patreon user (donator side) I don't think this is true for Patreon. It may be true for Apple but it isn't true for Patreon. They do almost nothing as far as helping the creator's reach. The typical funnel is people find creators on YouTube first and then look up their Patreon if they want to support the channel. The discovery happens on YouTube or another platform. It's difficult to find new creators on Patreon's website even if that's literally what you want to do; I use Google to find the Patreon pages! I doubt that having a Patreon has any impact at all on the number of viewers; it's just a convenient solution once your viewers have already decided to pay you. IMO this should be concerning to Patreon: there's no stickiness in their platform; a competitor could easily take over, and the creators can easily switch.

On the other hand, switching away from YouTube would be instant channel suicide, because they are actually the ones providing the reach. I think YouTube must see the existence of Patreon as a critical failure. YouTube is doing all the hard work and Patreon is getting paid for it!
> Neither of these are bad for you, just don't be obese

Every nutritional authority in the world disagrees.

> Every bottle of kombucha I have ever seen has at most 16g of non-added sugar from fruits, the same as a banana

Right, sugar from a drink and banana are identical, even though only one has fiber. What mental gymnastics!

Why didn't you cite them?
The stock market is a place to buy shares of operating companies.

You can go to the stock market and buy shares and then actually get the thing. If you buy enough shares of Ford, for example, you can walk into the factory and drive off with any car you see, because you would literally own that car. If you buy enough shares of McDonalds you could rename it to McDowell’s if you wanted.

That’s pretty different to what would happen if you bought every Bitcoin in existence.
> Different people are different. They have different preferences and needs, so any change in people within the car requires changing the system... It's why cars have zones of climate control for everyone

So? This stuff is linked to your driver profile. You only need to set it once.

> Also there's countless situational reasons someone might have a body temperature that is different than ambient temperature. Eg it's very cold out and someone just got in the warm car and they need to warm their hands

I’m so confused, I don’t think modern cars even have a climate control option that would do anything but heat if it’s very cold out.

Do people with decent HVAC setups at home really need to adjust their settings very often? What for?
