I am biased because I see a lot of value in the current fiat system that Bitcoin directly impacts. I am also biased because I don't buy the arguments that the current fiat system has enough issues to indicate it needs replacement.

As an example, I am against any system that takes us back to a world where governments no longer are able to use the soft power of economics to react to other countries. The alternative being that they will need to result to hard power which means physical violence.

The rest of the stuff like being a haven for criminals, grifters, and scam artists is related to but not really the cause for my bias.

Why are your concerns specific to LetsEncrypt? They're just another CA, no?
My guess based on reading the article is you would need SD card to set things up (enable the NVMe port and set the boot order), but once setup it would no longer be required.
I have heard the term "differently abled" kicked around, which completely buries the actual issue. As a "differently abled" person, I will say I don't need to go hiding my handicap, I'd much rather someone figure out to help me adapt better or just fix it, rather than hiding it. I know I have a problem, I have it all day every day. Why are people who don't have my problems so concerned about just saying it out loud?
The code-model gap is why we don't have this.

You don't organize code the way you mentally model it in many projects, and nearly all languages lack a way to solve this. Annotating code is prone to the same issue as keeping a diagram up to date, and the same issue as keeping comments or documentation up to date.

Oh, interesting. So he only keeps his face secret, not his identity?

Eventually with quantum computing or other advancements, someone will break the encryption and potentially swipe the part of Satoshi's coin.

Bitcoin, and other crypto in general even more with higher concentration of early owners, will always be precarious because of this concentration. Whoever has control of the early issued coins, holds a leverage that is dangerous and has extortion properties.

Satoshi owns 5% of bitcoin. Other crypto coins are more concentrated and more problematic. This isn't like a large institutional investor in a public stock, this is a large percentage of all currency.

The rug pull was set from the beginning.

Unification. This is the central point of Prolog, it's the mechanism behind matching structured data, while in SQL you would have to implement unification for each individual query, afresh, every time. Unification allows you to "not know" a lot of things about the shape of the data you want to match, whereas with SQL in order to be able to match something you need to know precisely how the data is organized.

Another, unrelated aspect: I/O, system calls, all that stuff that would require from you in SQL database to go outside and implement functions that are loaded into your database in some database-specific way.

Parsing. SQL doesn't offer much in terms of working with strings. Writing as much as a parser for arithmetic expressions with just integers would be a huge undertaking. No sane person would write such a parser unless for some bizarre code-golf challenge. It's trivial to do that in Prolog.

CLFD. This isn't part of standard Prolog, but it comes with most implementations. This allows you easily to write queries about numerical facts (eg. find all factors of a given integer).

To continue in the similar spirit as above: modern Prologs come with a bunch of libraries. You can have an HTTP server in Prolog, or an image processing tool etc. Something that in SQL you'd have to implement outside of it, and load as an external function.

Modules. Prolog code is more amenable to reuse and can be better organized because you can put it in boxes, hide things you want to keep private in those boxes etc. This is while SQL operates entirely in some sort of a global namespace.

The list isn't exhaustive, these are just the things I could think in a short time.

The 'chicago model': They sell the rights to road passage for a single one-time fee and the winning company then charges whatever tolls they want for the next 99 years. Maybe they do road maintenance, maybe they don't, it will be left out of the contract as an oopsie.
I don't know about the others, but Banksy has been uncovered. It's Robin Gunningham. People still like to say it's "unconfirmed" and "a rumour" but if you look at the evidence there is no real doubt.

So I guess part of the reason is that people love the mystery so much, as long as the suspect doesn't come out and say "yes it's me" then they'll just hang on to the mystery. To be honest even if Gunningham said "I am Banksy" I suspect people would still say "but is he really? Nobody knows!"
> what makes it 'clearly not right'

It doesn't add up with my experience of how banks (incl. HSBC) deal with transfers.

> Victim blame much?

If we can't have a rational conversation about the actual factors leading to these sorts of events (i.e. exactly how the transfers were authorised, where the weakest link in the security chain was), how are we supposed to prevent future occurrences?

We can have all of the technical measures in the world in place, but if a customer explicitly consents to someone else logging in, or making these transfers - we should be discussing non-technical solutions instead.

Equally, if it turns out that the UI design of the existing security measures was poor and that lead to this case, then that's something that industry can and should improve upon (or be forced to, via regulation).

There are many things in the middle of the false dichotomy you’ve presented. Such as “people don’t really think about it deeply and it sounds superficially good so they like it” or “people laugh because he’s a comedian but don’t take it seriously because of same.”
Wikipedia says "Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation."
I believe that about repetitiveness. It’s just that I’m not in software or computers, so I haven’t been subject to them all.

Although I was a lawyer, and I can tell you that human beings come up with an infinite variety of ways to do weird things, which gives me hope that there may be a weird software story out there for you, that you’ve never heard. :)

The correct solution is a synthesis: generate the boxes and arrows from code. Then let a human hide, move, and style those objects. When the code changes, the boxes and arrows will change, and perhaps the style will want to change, but at least the diagram will remain correct. This is precisely the distinction between semantic markup and css, btw. Implying that the html would be auto generated, the css would be hand crafted.
>'One of the most fundamental philosophical questions is about the nature of time, precisely because all of our "laws" of physics are time reversible'

Many of our theories are, but the thing is we have several direct observations of time reversal symmetry violation (below), independent of the experimental demonstrations of CP violation which also imply T-Symmetry violation.

I know. My original point was that it is not completely clear that pilots know better how planes work than software engineers know how computers work.

Not at all saying that they were incompetent. On the contrary, passenger planes today are IMO much more complex than one desktop computer loading a web page: passenger planes are a group of many computers doing safety-critical stuff in order to maintain a giant machine up in the air.

I don't see how one can say that software engineers don't really understand computers, but pilots do really understand planes.

Tangentially related, how IN and ANY can produce wildly different results [0] due to type casting.

Bitcoin is Schrödinger’s asset, in the sense that it is whatever it needs to be to counter the latest criticisms from non-believers.

For example, if you say that bitcoin has 7 tps and even with lightning will take decades to onboard everyone, it will become a store of value that you are supposed to buy and hold for long term. But if you point out how bitcoin has crazy volatility, it may become a currency that you don’t hold, just use to transact.
Bingo... Possibly losing the in car microphone is another added bonus.
It's not an excuse, it's just poor engineering culture or lack of security awareness. I work with an engineering team of 5 - security issues still get prioritised and fixed. Feature work gets deprioritised, as it should, as soon as there's a credible security concern.

> As for Satoshi Nakamoto: The most obvious candidate seems to be Adam Back. His invention of proof of work, his biography, character, writing style and role as the CEO of the company behind the main wallet software all point to him.

Adam Back is obviously not Satoshi.

His level of writing or thinking is not even close to the level of Satoshi.

When asked what people should pay with when fees were high and Lightning Network wasn't complete, he seriously suggested people should just use tabs:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DHc81OL_hk4&feature=youtu.be&t...

This and other brainfarts... No way that he's Satoshi and people need to stop suggesting it.
The computing power behind bitcoin mining is just computing gazillions of SHA256 hashes.

Which is useless for recovering Satoshi's private key, as that requires solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem for Elliptic Curves.

But even the amount of energy used in all Bitcoin mining falls short of the energy needed to solve a single instance of DLP using the best-known methods, by a factor greater than a billion billion.

Note that my point was not that the crew was inexperienced or incompetent. My point was that those flying machines are crazy complex, and actually made of tons of safety-critical computers.

I just did not find it fair to say "pilots know how planes really work, but software engineers don't know how computers really work". Both are waaaay too complex for one person to actually understand fully.
No, otherwise miners would be cracking wallets instead of mining bitcoins

An analysis about the first version of source code of Bitcoin https://serhack.me/articles/story-behind-alternative-genesis...
How you talk about things or how things are expressed to you, frame your perception of reality.

Terrorist or freedom fighter?

Uncomfortable truth or hate speech?

etc.

One does not re-translate what is said to one, into some universal, neutral idea.

So, you then have to wonder, are your thoughts actually your own? Are they based on what you yourself have perceived or on what has been provided to you? And who is it that is doing the provisioning? Have they got your best interests at heart? Do you have other people's best interests at heart when you say things to them? Do you only speak truth, or do you echo provided opinions? Etc.

Quite surprising the read:

> Who cares?

Surely everyone cares about having a valid understanding of reality?
i see many comments disregarding the take. while the arguments put forth may not be the strongest, but there is a point to this.

most people only chase the next thing you can build on top of what we have today. they only look back inside the layers when the current tech is not enough to achieve your goals out of the box.

a recent example i see is with the quantization and tinyml developments in machine learning. while it is easier than ever to create a model and to run it, the underlying architecture, previously only up to the people designing the frameworks, is now finally being looked at. only because the LLMs cannot fit inside the memory of elusive enterprise GPUs as easily as you'd like.

in no other instance would most people care about how numbers are stored in memory in the past 15-20 years in writing software. i think necessity is mother of invention, and that would probably still apply to dealing with abstractions going forward.
I don't know whether your comment is useful or not because all you're doing is ranting and providing personal opinion.

Your comment is useless to me; so ultimately I'm not likely to give it any credence.

> It's very easy to distinguish the cases by division into "fraud" versus "accident". When optimizing, assume absence of fraud, but not accident.

I do not believe that this is true. If you can do it precisely, that'd be a significant contribution to the community. If you can it precisely in a way that doesn't create a massive overhead because of tracking object lifetimes explicitly then that'd be an incredible contribution to the community.
Sure. We are not threading new ground here; this has been covered better by people much smarter than me. I am simplifying for the sake of brevity.

It may help to think of it as a range.
You're right, bitcoin is something entirely new, and we don't know the future, so we don't know what it will end up being.
Back in the old day, when men were men, saying "toilet paper" wouldn't cause a room full of people to faint in shock at the dirty word. People were hard then.

All these people trying to make their language more soft and welcoming are ignoring the fact that the world is supposed to suck, kindness is a modern invention, and frankly we can all see that it was a mistake.

I recommend you curse at everyone around constantly to make them harder and stronger, they'll certainly thank you for your service eventually, once they too are strong like you.
Unpopular opinion: much of what he said was just total bs. Even in an example from this article, he goes on a tangent about phrases that were not used then and still are not used. "They're not used cars, they're 'previously owned automobiles.'" What? Nobody calls them that, even today, 30 some odd years later.

In my opinion, George Carlin sometimes had some kernel of good observation at the heart of his bits, that he made worse and less correct the more he pontificated on it. And a lot of his observations are the kind of "common sense" folk wisdom that falls apart on closer inspection.

The question asked on that video does not mention lightning.

But his answer begins by explaining lightning.

Back early on forsaw that lightning is the way forward and not larger blocks. Which is another indication to me, that he is indeed Nakamoto.

It was a great insight very much in line with Nakamoto's thinking. Nakamoto who forsaw so many things early on like the need for a script instead of just transaction data on the chain.

I notice how Marc doesn’t spend any time talking about the distribution of technology’s upside. All signs point to a natural consequence being more severe wealth accrual to the top, which makes sense since a technology fundamentally gives the operator/owner power without having to convince (i.e. pay) other humans to help them out.

Each new technological advancement seems to be more marginally valuable to the top of our society than to the bottom, and that delta seems to be growing over time not shrinking. I suspect “lower level” innovations in the value chain would be different, e.g. agriculture or energy, but let’s be honest about what actually consumes most of our industry’s talent and capital (as allocated by very very few unelected billionaires).

Even if absolute quality of life/prosperity increases, the delta itself is a really, really serious destabilizing force. In fact we know that people can live stably and happily in fairly destitute conditions, not that that should be the goal.
Nihilism and misanthropy are valid philosophical positions though.
