I don't know how accurate it is when you get down into actually calculating it (which is a really complicated topic unto itself), but the best description I've heard of inflation is that it's about the balance between the monetary supply and the available "goods" to spend it on. In crypto's case "goods" is a bit of a weird term to use, but the point is the same -- it's about the balance between money "sources" and money "sinks". If you have more money sources than money sinks, then you get inflation; the other way around, and you get deflation.

This has to be the worst advice I've seen on HN since 2008.

It assumes if idea #1 doesn't work out quitting is the best way to go. The reality is once you have even a small team of co-founders or a slightly larger one together you have a group of people who have _hopefully_ learned to work with each other well and can move unencumbered to explore and test a variety of ideas, develop insights and ultimately increase their odds of success. Sure, it's not guaranteed to work, but it's probably better than the next best alternative.

And oh, good luck just shutting down and re-rolling into a new company with investors and employees.
There was a very detailed article that used data collected in Tinder. It showed something like 80% of women fought for 20% of top men and other way around. This basically meant that large number of men are being left out cold in dating scene. This pattern is across all online dating causing steep rise in men who are alone without partners in their 30s. However, there will likely no impact on birth rates significantly because women ultimately bear children for multiple highly desirable men but from small pool (either through multiple marriages or staying single). This is not very different from times before agriculture as DNA analysis shows significant portion of men didn't had offspring as more powerful men had access to larger than their fair share of women. The online dating has made the game as fierce again but this time voluntarily from both genders.
I'd be interested. I could absolutely move all the things I do that are unsuitable for e-paper to a tablet or a console.

My big question would be: can I out-type it? If it can't display text at the rate I can type it, it doesn't work in a laptop for me. I'd be better off keeping a traditional laptop and using e-paper on a tablet for reading only.
> Except I need an exhange to get the coins and turn the coins into usable currency

I bought my phone with bitcoin, graphic card, many house hold items with bitcoin (no conversion). But I do understand your point. Thing is, bitcoin is still in very early stage.

> Meh, the biggest investors are still in control in practice.

that's false. tell me how big investors can stop or take my bitcoin?

> Yet they can claim taxes on transactions, seize funds, stop you from exhanging the funds into usable currency. But yeah they can't stop the transaction itself, which is also true of cash, except trash isn't also completely traceable.

that's totally fine and by design. nothing wrong with paying taxes. They can confiscate, but they can not target you and confiscate because you belong to some group, deplatform you. That's the point.

> Last time I bought some bitcoin I had to scan my passport just to buy it on an exchange.

you have 1000s ATMs around the world, you can exchange without any ID. I've sold and bought p2p many times as well. This will improve with wider adoption.

Like how they effectively enforced their prohibition on drugs and people working for cash-in-hand to avoid income tax and reductions in government benefits. Right.

The myriad of excuses were for domestic propaganda purposes. Russia wasnt about to sacrifice this much for language rights in the donbas or Putin's belief that Ukrainian identity is bullshit but selling the idea of nascent potential military threat of gradual military encroachment to Russian audiences isnt a winner despite how fundamentally critical it is.

For the integrity of Russian borders theyd sacrifice 100,000 in the blink of an eye. And have to ensure Mariupol wont ever host a NATO base.

If Putin simply wanted to invade only for territory he would have taken it years ago when it would have been militarily easier. He invaded because the military threat it posed was slowly growing as Ukraine formed ever closer links to NATO.

>if you pay attention to anything besides the message crafted by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Western audiences

I monitor all sides (neutral, russian, western), but the above analysis I read from a military analyst who hates Russia.

Your idea of what constitutes Russian propaganda and "useful idiot" is comically out of whack.

It's also pretty hard to get exposed to Russian propaganda accidentally despite what a bevy of Americans raised on 1950s red scare tactics seem to think.

>It's more likely that simply letting Ukraine skip ahead straight to joining NATO would have stopped the war.

Yep, but NATO doesnt actually give a fuck about any of the countries bordering Russia and isnt willing to start a hot war with Russia over any of them. The decades long drawn out application process is simply to let them gradually up the threat to Russia without having any real obligation until its certain that obligation wont have to be invoked.

This is slowly starting to dawn on Zelensky, I think. He's pretty mad at us right now for providing restrained help against the onslaught.

> Or?

The 5% thing is entirely unsupported by any evidence whatsoever.

You can just look outside your window and see the thousands of couples that exist, most of whom do not include a "top 5% man". The theory of hypergamy, and the idea that is so much worse in the digital age, is unsupported by facts.

For exampple Tinder has a hidden rating for each person, so lets say you are an average girl and Tinder has rated you as a 5/10. You can probably only see men that Tinder has rated 4-6. Even if you wanted to go for a "top 5%" man, algorithmically he would not even show in your feed.

Humans are biologically programmed to find suitable partners, we value many things beyond looks or social status and the basis of relationships is varied, complicated and researched to death.

There is no gaggle of desperate women running after a succesful hot man in a suit who keeps denying their advances. This is simply not happening
This is a great write-up. I love reading stuff like this, and Erlang/OTP/Kafka is definitely on my list of tech to investigate.

Slightly tangential, but what's the market like for Erlang developers? I know that its was originally developed for telecoms and phone switches, and Whatsapp use (used?) it in their back-end. Are there particular business sectors that tend to use it now? Geographical spread, perm/contract, salaries, etc?

I don’t think these activities need a specific value, they can pay for a hedged position or just be fine with funding/withdrawal slippage tax (provided that exchanges are still functional). Also are you sure that psychological effects naturally converge to anything at all on the crypto market or in general? It’s usually strange attractors all the way down rather than a stable point.

Wikipedias definition of inflation sounds exactly like op said and what I assume as well:

'In economics, inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money.'

I can afford less for the same unit of currency (Bitcoin) therefore I have inflation or deflation if I get more.

And people claim that Bitcoin is inflation save due to a limit amount of bitcoins being produced (I read that multiple times) while this is just not true.
I feel like this is quite big omission in way we talk about past writers. It is pretty major difference against actually writing that much.

Nothing has intrinsic value. All value comes from subjective interpretation of what is valuable.

Assets with a cash flow have something you can calculate by discounting future income. But at what rate? The market rate? Some people have a higher time preference compared to the market rate, while others have a lower one. In any case, that preference is not negative as in the EU. Nobody wants to receive money later instead of now.

"Other tangible assets" are also a risky bet. Oil hit a negative price in 2020. If supply adjusts to demand, prices should go down as technology makes it cheaper and cheaper to produce things.

Even food is subjective. You can eat for optimal health, but few people are doing that, and instead eat much too much meat. Meat requires much more land per gram of protein.

What happens if people stop SUBJECTIVELY choosing branded sugar water? Coca Cola goes down, which is what "value" investor Warren Buffett owns as 6.71% of Berkshire.

> It actually can be a pretty huge deal.

I think this is a problem as old as the world. I was recently reading archives of the Jurassic News from roughly 165 million years ago, and I found a very interesting discussion between dinosaurs of that age. They were discussing how these new flying species, commonly referred to as birds, are a problem because they fly, move at vast distances and spread non-native plants by eating seeds and crapping them miles away.
I partially agree with you. Specially with inflation coming out way.

But I rather exclude gold and buy assets with cashflow only.
Agreed and I actually don't really care about the GC speed. I mostly use arenas / object pools and you can do that with or without GC.

Sort of undecided on the exceptions though. The Result / Option type in Rust is pretty nice to use (and !?*T in Zig, which is nicer if you ask me). It forces you to handle exceptions explicitly which is pretty nice and you can be sure there is no overhead introduced by the compiler for handling exception stuff.

I'd probably wrap all the exception throwing functions in my D codebases with Result type if we had language level support for sum types and match syntax. I know we have it in the standard library, I want it in the language with nicer syntax.

I also want the GC to be replaced with deterministic destruction using RC + ownership analysis and optimizations like Lobster does, but that's wishful thinking territory.

> Workers are way too close to reality to ever get seduced by such ideas, they create things with their own hands, so they understand perfectly well that this needs to be done, to create any value for anyone.

You're perfectly describing why workers are interested in overthrowing capitalism, because workers produce the riches, create the value and know what it's worth. Why should the value be given to said bullshit jobs so they can do whatever they want with it including not giving workers their fair share ?

My comment wasn't saying that modern development practices only exist in newer languages - I agree that all those things are possible with C.

But the language does bring benefits. In my experience modern strongly typed languages with large standard libraries and nice tooling are more productive than C (and probably more than C++, although writing idiomatic modern C++ is quite nice). C's simplicity is nice, but it still exists in a world where your only option for 3rd party libraries are zips downloaded from some random Sourceforge. Trying to write a C program with effective string handling is an absolute nightmare. All those things are solved many times over in other languages.

As a tool for writing very low level routines handling fixed length data, C is pretty good. But embedded development is moving away from that - every project seems to have some sort of web API, and that's when the downsides of C really start to show themselves.
It's not the industry: it's the customers!

With hardware (be it a bridge, a car, a pair of jeans) customers know and accept that no modification is possible once the product is accepted. With software, customers have grown acquainted to the reality that software will evolve to fit their changing needs. Later, this became hoping for a software that can anticipate their needs. Finally, it perversely morphed into expecting a software that precede them being aware of their own needs.
Yes, exactly! The people who want to make money selling drugs have much harder time. It's possible but inconvenient (and in this case also dangerous).
Thanks but how does this impressive list of sponsors contradict what pessimizer said?
I've got some background in FPGA development, and you can actually design for this effect. We literally have tools where you can plug in simulated activity and the tool will tell you how much dynamic power the chip will use and therefore what power & cooling you'll need. It works exactly as you say - different inputs are going to cause different numbers of transistors to need to switch every cycle and switching draws more power. So if you have a transistor that goes 1->0->1 every other cycle, that'll draw more power than a transistor that's just sitting at 0 the entire time.

Then, since modern CPUs have frequency scaling (fpgas generally don't) you can observe that a high switching rate would increase the power consumption which increases the heat and therefore causes the CPU to scale down the frequency.
"People are selling high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies and stocks in favor of classical assets with little risks attached, such as gold."

These trading explanations are nearly always completely made-up and usually BS. Almost everything has been going down lately, including gold and silver, albeit by far less than crypto. People move to cash in these conditions.
The only illegal activity they engage in is not giving a damn about KYC or AML laws.

That's not empathy. Empathy starts with the animal/person by your side otherwise you are just a selfish person. If you can eat grass/vegetables and survive why would you kill the poor animal?

We should probably focus more on finding ways to reduce cynicism and lack of empathy in this profession than fighting false positives in the system.

You should err on the side of caution and default to "they're probably not lying".

Most of us can agree that applying the logic you're describing to the law would be
wrong. Imagine that instead of having the presumption of innocence, we'd assume that certain types of people are probably guilty, so we'll punish them pre-emptively.

This already happens, of course, because of racism, xenophobia etc... but we do agree that it's morally wrong and at least we're trying to fix it.

I like the documentation first approach, but I understand that it does not work for everyone.

Designing a program (on paper or the screen) before you start coding is still the recommended textbook approach from university courses and books.

I think of documentation in the broadest form. For example, flow diagrams, or rough wireframes of screens in your app. Figma (and other tools) is good for creating rough app prototypes with short annotations describing features. You get the benefit of fleshing out flows and screens or pages (before coding) but without heavy documentation.

A popular UX technique you can try by yourself (or with colleagues) called 'Design The Box' can also be used before you start coding. It's an exercise to articulate the key features and benefits of your app: https://gamestorming.com/design-the-box/

Nice to see they're also updating bugs and not just messing with the UI.. The last time I updated it messed with the toolbox, I can't remember what it was, like, some tools missing and you had to long-press to get to them or some nonsense like that, and probably made the icons more abstract too, to the point where I couldn't find out what stuff was anymore.. Had to dig through options to get it back to the old way..

I'm generally finding this to be a problem with all software these days, the constant itch that must be scratched, to subtly change user interfaces all the time, and not only when absolutely needed to implement a feature of such importance that it warrants it.
