Agreed. I don't trust the dollar as investment and I don't understand why people consider bitcoin something worth investing in. Sure, for trading stuff between techies it looks fair enough but it'll never reach the general public.

The whole banking system works hard to earn the customers' trust and any small mistake damages that. Bitcoin doesn't provide any assurances, support, etc...

Looks like another fad the computer industry created for its own amusement. Let's see how long it lasts. I'm sure all the revolutionaries out there fighting the man will come up with solutions for the trust issues.

We're working on getting a system in place to manage the tolls.

Our renters are vetted with an extensive Driving Record Check, so they're highly unlikely to get a red light/speeding ticket, though it's possible.

Visible damage is covered by our insurance policy as well as liability, and we now take pictures of the cars' interiors and exteriors to keep track of this. Invisible damage is covered by our mechanical damage policy, which owners can make claims from when they notice something happened to their vehicles.

No, it's not backed in the sense that it has a concrete value. No one is guaranteeing that a US dollar will buy you exactly a gallon of gas, an ounce of gold, or a bushel of wheat or anything like that.

It is "backed" in the sense that people need it to pay taxes, but exactly how much value that gives it is completely uncertain and only determined by the supply and demand of people spending it/accepting it. If there were to be a major economic shift, the value could change to be literally anything relative to the value of other goods (without the supply and demand of those goods actually changing.) It could even completely collapse and be worth nothing under the right conditions.

If it was actually backed in the traditional sense it would be guaranteed to be worth some amount of some good or combination of goods, regardless what happens, regardless how many people are spending it or accepting it.
Probably the most common question. Where do you get clients?

I have two clients for some freelance and I do web application for them, earning me $19k over last 2 years ( plus $8k finishing in another month). They run their own businesses and they are very happy with them, but I am not sure how to expand past them. I don't think I will ever do it full time, but if I can choose the right gigs, could definitely be worth it.

It's the other way around. The cost of electricity needed to mine a coin will tend towards the price that coin can be sold for. If the bitcoin price drops significantly, then the least efficient miners will become unprofitable and drop out, and the difficulty will reduce.
"Hell, the door could be broken or just bad and you still have an expectation of privacy."

So let's take that argument to its extreme: you are standing in an open field going to the bathroom. Do you still think you have an reasonable expectation of privacy?

The problem with your argument is that it is based on the idea that if people want privacy, they are entitled to it even if they do nothing to protect that privacy. There is nothing wrong with expecting people to be a bit proactive when it comes to their privacy -- closing doors, drawing their curtains, encrypting their email. People should not just shrug about someone filming them on the toilet, they should do something to prevent it (and if a person started to drill holes in the door, sure, prosecute them -- for destroying someone's property).

"If someone were going into a restroom taking pictures, people would feel rightfully violated"

No, if someone were going into a restroom taking pictures of other people going to the bathroom in a closed stall they would rightly feel violated. Any weaker standard is basically saying that nobody can take pictures in public, because they might accidentally catch a person peeing on a wall and thus violate their privacy.

"The ease with which it can be done is irrelevant to the legality of it."

No, it is very relevant to the legality, because when we make easy and popular things illegal we worsen an already out-of-control criminal justice system. We do not want to start arresting people just because they are using their cameras, even if their cameras are mounted on their heads, even if they wear their head-mounted cameras into bathrooms. If cameras are everywhere and used by everyone, the answer is to build bathroom stalls that go from the floor to the ceiling, not to open the door to waves of prosecution (which will almost certainly be used selectively against "undesirable" people).

The appropriate place to draw the legal line with privacy is with people taking proactive and reasonable measures to be private. Putting letters in envelopes, closing curtains, closing doors, and yes, encrypting emails. You have no expectation of privacy in public parks, nor if your door is left open, nor if your curtains are left open, so why should you expect privacy when you send unencrypted email?
oh that's your answer to everything. ;)

>You misunderstand me. I meant it was an uphill battle to argue to all the paranoid people that the U.S. government has yet to outlaw trading in Yen, Euro, etc, even though it doesn't control those currencies either.

What exactly gave you the right to call me "paranoid"?

The fact that I said the US might ban the Bitcoin?

For one, the Bitcoin is NOT like the Euro or the Yen at all. It doesn't have any government to back it, and it has properties that make it not very likable to any large government.

Banning bitcoin wont be like banning Euro or the Yen, which are legitimate, sovereign national currencies.

It would be like banning or freezing assets in off-shore accounts (which governments have been known to do). Or like banning the private buying of gold (which the US had done, from 1933 to mid-seventies:

"Executive Order 6102 is an Executive Order signed on April 5, 1933, by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States". The order criminalized the possession of monetary gold by any individual, partnership, association or corporation."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

Private / alternative currencies have been banned in several cases all over the world. One example from Wikipedia:

In Australia, the Bank Notes Tax Act of 1910 practically shut down the circulation of private currencies by imposing a prohibitive tax on the practice. It was later repealed and a fine imposed for private currencies (Commonwealth Bank Act 1945). Many other nations have similar such policies to eliminate private sector competition.

Or:

The co-operative society Jord Arbejde Kapital was founded in Denmark during the Great Depression in 1931. The society issued a popular local currency which was subsequently outlawed by the Danish government in 1933.

Not to mention that the whole idea that the US doesn't care at all about Yen and Euros is flawed BS. The US would very much like to keep the dollar unthreatened as the "golden world standard". But those currencies belong to very large economies and countries for the US to be able to do anything about it. Not to mention that the Yen is tied to the dollar in intricate ways nowadays (Chinese own trillions of it).

Still, when any third world or developing country expresses a desire to do business in Euros (something that happened oftentimes before the Euro crisis), the US exerts as much political and diplomatic pressure as it can to have them revert course.

So, using the fact that the US does not ban the Yen and the Euro as an "argument" why it cannot ban bitcoin? Really, not the very best in informed thinking. To call one "paranoid" about arguing the possibility of the bitcoin ban? Even worse (and rude to top).

You might as well say that since the US hasn't entered a war with China or EU, it will never enter a war with a terrorist group operating outside any government. Seeing that China and EU are huge countries/unions, whereas the Bitcoin community is just an ad-hoc random assembly of people investing on an alternative monetary system.

I agree, but it's really more about perception than reality. I think this ties in nicely with the "I feel like a fraud" sentiment that people commonly express (and their course of maturing out of that sentiment).

I suspect that this would end up breaking down along lines of years-of-experience, with narcissists slightly tilting things towards the higher percentiles. :)

I am a neophyte at reading music, but I think that the pitch symbols are almost entirely noise. They would help me personally (oh, that's a 'C' there, I don't have to count the lines!) but for anyone with a modicum of sight reading, surely they already know where the C is due to its location on the staff? At that point, pitch is already represented and the filled figures are noise.

I wonder if a suitable analogy would be like underlining all capital letters in a selection of prose - useful for the neophyte, chaff for the slightly experienced onwards.

robot plays the piano better than i ever could

Apart from the personal enjoyment angle, robots also can't detect the mood of the audience (yet) and play to suit.
All I can say is this, I play guitar for 15 years, learned piano since I was 7, and I never got the classic notation. I can't read notes. And I tried learning a few times.

I looked at hummingbird, and it took me 30 seconds to memorize the symbols, and now I can read any hummingbird note sheet easily.

I would say this is a big win. Same feel I got when I saw Tau, mathematicians might argue it's incorrect, but for me, I don't care, Tau made math easy for me. Hummingbird makes music easy for me. That's all I care.

About transposing, you got a point, I think there should be apps that do it for you (e.g. convert MIDI files to hummingbird notation, I'm sure we'll see a few of these as Show HN sometime soon)
The difference is, typical guitar beginners want to play certain riffs they already know or are listening to while looking at the tabs or they can easily write down ideas in tabs. Very often you get the traditional notation above the tabs, then you have all you need. Most guitar training nowadays is very non-classical, the summit of that modern learning route is being able to improvise freely. You are actively being trained to LISTEN and pick it up that way, you pick up chord changes, rhythm and melody, even the key, just by listening and then repeat them or improvise over what is there. You end up applying quite a lot of theory but most guitar players don't study 100% dry theory but are taught to use certain patterns or to use their instrument to find out certain correlations others are learning by heart. It is more about expression.

In contrast, the highest point you can reach in typical classical training is being able to perfectly sight-read and reproduce the music exactly as it is on the sheet, hence the very clear and detailed instructions. The focus lies on re-production and precision.

A Jazz guitarist's lead sheet can be as short as half a page and he could still play for hours.

Both ways have their merits and disadvantages, this notation actually helps neither. It is still way too complicated for the average tab user - while the proficient classical player is missing vital information.

On top of that I find it EXTREMELY hard to read, the difference between the circle being filled on the side or on top is practically indistinguishable when you are a little further back, so are the tiny little lines sticking out of circles pointing up or down.
If there's enough financial gain to be had by manipulating Bitcoin to interest market manipulators, that means the Bitcoin market has more money available in it than, say, two years ago.
You should never expect privacy over an unencrypted connection.

However where I do disagree with rayiner is that you should be able to expect that third parties which you willingly entrust your communication to, should not be compelled to turn over that message without a warrant.

If they turn it over willingly that's caveat emptor, but email to me feels more like a hand-to-hand transfer of a postcard than dropping a postcard on a public desk (as used in a different example), and therefore you should be able expect that it's not treated as essentially public domain.
Find paid speaking gigs.
If you can design, code, and talk business goals with non-technical people, it is highly unlikely that the W-2 rate paid by your current day job is in the near ballpark of what you'd reasonably expect to achieve by going into consulting at an appreciable fraction of full-time. Quitting your job and hanging your shingle as a consultant-who-solves-business-problems-with-technology will trade a lot of the certainty of your biweekly paychecks for more occasional payments on invoices which would blow your mind.

If you add the constraint "I want to keep my day job", then I'd suggest negotiating with them (and, er, not mentioning that you're unwilling to leave them prior to having that conversation).

There are many people who have, in recent memory, made appreciable fractions of your goal numbers by taking one service offering which they'd be really good at as a technologist -- say, designing iPhone apps or what have you -- and wrapping that service into a teaching product. There are a variety of form factors: book, video course, in-person training event, online webinar, yadda yadda. This does not get less viable if you mix substantial business expertise into the offering or your promotion of it.

If you want to execute on that, I'd start building up a mailing list of people who have given you permission to talk to them about $BROAD_OUTLINE_OF_YOUR_TOPIC post-haste. Virtually no plan for building products gets worse if you have 100, 300, 500, etc people who are willing to hear from you about it.
You can also spin this as "keeping people who need a ride poor by raising the price of the good they depend on", or even "preventing the poor from working by making it uneconomical for them to get to work".

If you're going to argue in favor of breaking competition, you absolutely have to have a better argument than "it's good for the sellers." There's two sides to every economic transaction, and I see no evidence that cab-medallion-owners are drastically more worthy people than cab-riders.
Whoa there. Too much too quickly.

"I have a strong suspicion that the Keynesian miracle is simply an unimaginably huge bubble founded -- like many financial bubbles -- on a novel "creative" accounting technique that temporarily hides underlying physical realities."

It's possible. It's also possible that Keynesianism makes a substantial bet on the possibilities of human technological progress which can be stated as the following:

If our economy moves forward at a quick enough pace we can engineer our way out of the most serious problems that arise along the way (due to physical constraints such as resource limitations, environmental degradation, etc).

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen.

An example of this might be your example of carbon emissions. The economy might solve it thusly: As soon as clean energy sources such as solar and wind reach such a price that it does not make fiscal sense not to have them, they will proliferate as fast as we can build them. Worldwide carbon emissions will take a nose dive and the problem of global warming may reverse or at the very least stall.

We might get ourselves to this price point faster by employing Keynesian policies of government spending as China has - i.e., providing government funded subsidies to push the price artificially down.

If this happens, then we will have bought ourselves time to deal with the next set of potentially lethal problems that arise due to our economic growth.

(Your links touch on this but I do not agree that our economy will keep going full steam ahead until collapsing due to insufficient energy supplies. That would meant that our economy has no reflexivity and no built-in foresight, which it does.)

I believe that both C# iterator-functions and python generators are designed with enough limits that they can be implemented as syntax sugar: you lift the generator function's locals into an object and decompose the function body into a state-machine.
If you can get a raise and stay, why leave?

Leave because you don't like your job, or because you'd really rather being making more money elsewhere doing something else. If you like your job, give your employer a chance to pay you enough to keep you.
Right, key signatures aren't just shorthand, they're useful information to give the performer up front.

In fact, it's so useful to state the key up front, I might even suggest the opposite; base the notation on relative pitches, as in "movable do" solfege. Then we could replace "all F's and C's are sharp" with just "do is D". Of course, there'd be tradeoffs to this as compared to the traditional notation, but it's fun to think about.
This was an odd post. And nobody at any radioshack makes anywhere near $22 an hour.
Ahh.. That is fine.

Let me rephrase it as I understand it: ask for a raise. If you get it, then look to get another job where you can get an even higher raise. If you don't get that other job, then stay. If you don't get a raise in the first place, either stay or look for another job.
I hope a more able exchange arrives soon.

Maybe not quite the same thing as OP, but I've always been weary of chasing the money in this tech world. You manage to get some crazy good salary and now you're kinda stuck with "golden handcuffs".
I personally am aware of 2 people who had comfy corp jobs, steady "mandatory" raises. Everything seems great. Then the year 2008 real-estate-bubble-burst happened and wiped them out.
If the OP is very disciplined; living below his salary & keeping his skills sharp then I guess he'd be fine, but that's not how most people handle getting more money. I like to think I can handle it myself, but I have to admit that as the raises come, I find new concerns to make me buy yet another organic food/pillow/blanket/bottle/etc.
