Another Government Chemist Accused of Deception, 180,000 Cases Now Need Review

How does this reconcile with "Bullshit jobs," which also quotes Keynes in 1930?

http://www.strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/
Embarassing for the government, criminal, etc? Yes, but the title (both on HN and in the original) is sensationalistic. 40,000 cases in 10 years? That's around 15 cases per working day. She must have almost done a search and replace to be that 'productive'.

Because of that, I suspect the 'up to 40,000' means there are 40,000 cases that she might have affected, not that she is known to have affected.
If Bitcoin's market cap is a scheme, what is then Apple's market cap?! USD is the biggest scheme there is, when you think about it. Bitcoin was born out of demand, not as a scheme. The only negative side is the speculators who move the price up and down by tens percent daily, but when more money get into Bitcoin, their job will only get harder.

24 Days of Hackage: 2013 in Review
Or it could be intentional misdirection, as with "favour". Not that I'm particularly invested in Satoshi==Szabo, but if I were interested in deflecting suspicion, that would be one obvious-looking way to do it.
The author seems pretty hung up on the fact that mining consumes electricity, but let's look at the numbers.

Miners consume an estimated 108,619 megawatt hours per day (according to https://blockchain.info/stats). This is actually a very high estimate as most miners have switched to ASICs and are consuming orders of magnitude less power, but let's use it anyway. This would add up to about $16m spent per day on electricity.

In 2011, the United States alone consumed 367 million gallons of gasoline daily (according to http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=23&t=10). At an average gas price of $3.576 / gallon (http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_nus_a.htm), this would be $1.3b spent per day on gas.

Pretty much everything on Earth is going to consume power, but I don't think Bitcoin mining consumes enough to worry about.

Quickly and pretty reasonable are both subjective, yes. In the context of several hundred years of tulip history, though, I'm happily confident that a 1 year bubble is "quick." You're free to disagree.

Calling me high strung/on the offensive/skewed though is a bit of an argumentum ad hominem and thus irrelevant. My argument would not be affected at all even if I were foaming at the mouth and wearing a sweater woven out of paper wallets.

It's my experience that Europeans are taught British English in schools (due to the easy availability of teachers from the U.K.)

Japan, Korea and China very likely are mixed between British English teachers (from India and Australia) and American English teachers (from the U.S.) In Japan in the late 80s-early 90s, there was a definite preference for American English teachers.

I also believe that a currency must be inflationary for all the good known reasons but every time I think of BTC being inflationary I realize that Satoshi didn't really had a choice.

Why on earth you would buy an unknown inflationary currency? I mean, it would NEVER take off, except for illegal markets where use the privacy offered by a crypto-currency.

But look where we are now? Silk Road gone (well almost) but BTC unaffected and sky-rocketed. You would never have attracted that capital if you haven't a deflationary currency. Actually, by all means it's an asset.

breaking bad? hehe
man it's because when the price is not crashing its all brainwashy hype. For the record, i talk crap about Bitcoin even when it's on the upswing but you just get downvoted a ton by people who are all siked on investing.

btw, did anybody else get really disappointed after clicking the link and realizing it was Aaron Greenspan not Alan? I would love for legit economic analysts to take a crack at Bitcoin but so far most have dismissed it (I saw some figure like 87% and no I am not going to bother backtracking to find my source sorry). I wish somebody with some real knowledge of world economies/currencies would drop some knowledge but they seem to either

A) Not care (I suspect because even tho BTC is at the forefront of the tech world, it is a trinket to the aged eyes of those who have spent their lives watching the fluctuations of the world economy)

B) Not wish to comment because it's a fun experiment to watch so why ruin your rep by seeming like an old fuddy-duddy when you could just enjoy the view

When I told my father (very successful attorney guy) about the Senate hearing he was like "Of course they're interested in it. If the tech works, why wouldn't they want to use it? But yeah they probably will want to strip it and start over without the dispersements the founders put in". Seems like about the most reasonable off-hand assessment I've heard from a non-techie business type. The gov has no interest in protecting black market holdings and redistributed wealth pulled out of thin air

back to your original point -- yea i think it's tough for negative press to get anyone's attention in the midst of the $$ signs soaring. It's like a NYE celebration for the speculators. it's why I believe that Bitcoin "news" isn't really "news" -- it's just some articles characterizing the current hype with a bit of random theory thrown in.

But I think as Mr. Aaron Greenspan aptly points out, a sound offline (not looking at the $$ signs) theoretical analysis should prove that it's not something worth the interest regardless of how far the price climbs

While the initial chart is telling, I find the subsequent analysis disappointing.

* It's not all about raw data amounts. Sure, images are the biggest share of traffic, but their size "only" doubled in the last 3y (according to my eyeing the article's chart).

* On the other hand, scripts seem to have tripled or quadrupled in size.

* The "Other" content also looks significant enough to warrant a deeper look, since it currently seems to be bigger than Flash, HTML and CSS combined, and has also grown most significantly. What's this "Other" content, and in what amounts? Web fonts? XML? JSON?

* The pie chart under #2 of the article is horrible.

* How do CDNs and caching factor into all this? How much of the shown amounts must really be downloaded every time?

Kevin Rose on Why He Won't Sell His Bitcoins
It is correct that after 21 million Bitcoins have been mined, other incentives will be required for mining to continue. Transaction fees are the likely choice.

If Bitcoin became a major currency, I think there might be other incentives, too. To speculate: a large government might want to run mining operations to make it more difficult for other governments to collude against them in a 51% attack. Of course if they did this, they'd probably want to pick up transaction fees as well.

Okay, sure, whatever.

But she didn't think she was being evil. She somehow persuaded herself that what she was doing was okay.

That's the interesting bit. Why do people go along with things that they know are wrong. She wasn't alone in this, there are a bunch of other people involved too. And it's similar for other frauds and deceptions.

She didn't wake up and think "Fuck it, I'm going to jail thousands of innocent people". So, what was she thinking?

Can we test for that kind of thinking in other people? How do we protect against is?

I gave it 21 days. Evil is by far the best vim emulator I have ever used. Seriously, nothing else comes close. It is also fairly trivial to fix the rough edges via the init.el.

> Lisp in Emacs is easier to learn

Agreed, not so much because the baseline is simpler, but because it is consistent -- everything is a function call -- and once you get over the hump, this is a huge benefit. Vimscript has gobs of gotchas.

> Also, the plugin / extension ecosystem is fantastic

Can't agree here. The plugins are often hard / annoying to use and missing critical features. I still think (despite vimscript) that the vim plugins are far better in most cases. Decent fuzzy finding across everything I care about (files, tags, buffers, etc) is a rather robust example of where emacs falls down... I tried literally dozens of extensions.. to get basically a "meh" solution.

At the end of the day, after using Evil 10 hours a day for 3 weeks -- I came the the conclusion that it is very good and very usable... some rough edges when you break out of evil mode, annoying console support (you need sr-speedbar, not speedbar), and annoying color schemes.

It did make me focus my vim workflow a little more with tools like vimux (works with tmux), expandregion, easymotion and a few other tricks that I learned to love from emacs.
By god, is the human race so savage that we resort to killing so quickly. This is a life, something some people would consider priceless. Not something you can view arithmetically, calculating the hours in damage caused versus somebody's time left.
I wonder how the economics of owning cars will change when everything is computerized. In logistics (specifically trucks), it would incredibly reduce the total cost of shipping if you eliminate Less-than Truck Loads (LTLs) and empty back hauls. I imagine it is similar with transporting people, if there was a "taxi" like company that could maximize the use of an automated car, the total amount of cars necessary in the world would go dramatically down. Right now most cars spend most of their lives idle. Great side effects include no auto insurance and much less emitted greenhouse gasses.

The number of millennials buying cars is already extremely low, computerized cars would most likely continue to reduce the number of new car owners.
Is PPC PrimeCoin, PeerCoin or something else?
Another observation that got cut from the post: "Programmers love construction checklists. We call them unit tests."
Unless there was a death penalty administered due to this, she has not deprived anyone of "life" in the sense suggested. She denied their freedom, and this is a grave injustice, but not one fit for a death penalty. How savage and petty that would be.
Like many "criminal-friendly" aspects of criminal law, the opposition to the death penalty goes beyond compassion for the guilty; it is motivated by a desire to protect the other innocent from abuse of power, and principled belief that forcibly ending a life is unacceptable because no person is capable and trustworthy to accurately and fairly determining which cases deserve it, and drawing a bright line to separates the kind of criminal people who would kill unnecessarily from the civilized people who would not, and sitting comfortably on our side without engendering doubts.

Of course, if Bitcoin was widely adopted, the price would go up, meaning that far more people would mine it and far more energy would be used in mining. The only reason energy consumption from mining is that low right now is because Bitcoin is incredibly niche.

You are assuming everyone is working at a well-funded research institutions. There are smaller universities where research grants are necessary and patents are also a way to keep someone for promotion. When you go to some scientific /engineering conference, you'd find many people holding one or more patents. This is almost a competition and a ranking system. The more patents you have, the prouder you feel. Anyone can conduct a research, with or without research grant, but patent is not. When you have a patent along with a published paper, people look at this product very different - this is good - otherwise someone else would have already done it.
