To address the link, I don't deny early adopters should be rewarded. They should be. But if Bitcoin is adopted by even 1% of the world (whether its fair or not) the "reward" could seem out-of-this-world extreme to the average person, if it continues to grow in value at this rate.

If Bitcoin wants more participation (fewer enemies?) ten years from now, there needs to be more incentive to keep it going. I think altcoins could alleviate extreme wealth disparity but that's a separate issue I won't get into. Bitcoins are already a target for theft and hardly anyone knows about them yet, seems reasonable to assume that gets 10x worse as they grow in value 10x.

As far as "control of the network" I was deliberately vague. The more I research Bitcoin there's a number of scenarios, I'm just repeating information I found various places. And don't you think we have only scratched the surface?

How about these?

1. The blockchain is a big, slow-moving, easy-to-identify target that would be easy (for say an ISP) to detect, destroy, corrupt, etc. People say Bitcoins can't be blocked because all these pirated movies can't be blocked. There's a big difference. Every movie is different. The blockchain is easier to identify. Also people said Bitcoin transactions are small and therefore hard to detect. Wrong again. If say Amazon or Walmart starts using Bitcoin the blockchain will be enormous. Even if it can be trucated somewhat, that doesn't change the fact it's a big, slow-moving and easy to identify target.

2. Just the fact Bitcoin can be altered to truncate its blockchain means the developers have only one chance to get a major change like that right. There's no "dev server" to emulate a world economy. If there's some little flaw in a major modification to the Bitcoin software, that could collapse all faith in the network. Don't you think? Also the developers are only human. Who could "save" Bitcoin if the developers made an unpopular or catastrophic change? I think it would be more interesting if the Bitcoin software was frozen so that it would not work at all if it was ever modified/reverse-engineered. Granted, I don't understand exactly how Bitcoin changes over time but seems to me experiments/improvements/updates should happen in the altcoins and Bitcoin should be safe from tampering. If the Bitcoin software can't be changed, not even by the developers, that makes the 21 million coin limit more real rather than an imaginary LOL limit.
This is true, and you're absolutely right, however:
This is way less convenient than it should be. Buying meat from individual farms is impractical on a day-to-day basis for most people.

The problem is the anonymity of meat that is sold in grocery stores. You literally have no idea where your meat came from, how it was treated, how it was raised. Organic/free-range labels give you a little bit more info, but not a lot.

Improved labelling would go a long way toward solving this problem for me. Perfect world: I'd like to be able to scan a barcode or QR code or something and see a basic chain of custody. Where the animal was raised, where it was slaughtered, where the meat was packed, etc.

New Egg losing one case and potentially having to pay out millions is devastating.

Worse than that, winning a patent lawsuit costs NewEgg about a million dollars. There is no loser-pays rule in the USA and you have to fight your case in both district court (probably the inconvenient and biased East Texas district) and appeals court in DC. Losing costs that million dollars and whatever penalty and fine they are assessed.

What do you do as a startup if one of these companies targets you?

If they want cash, you pay it. If they want you out of business so that they can have the field to themselves, you either quit or sell out to a larger company that can fight.

Two questions:

1. What makes you think this is the worst case? (That is, not comparable to the average case.)

2. Why is it unacceptable to stop eating meat or drinking milk?
"You'll find that left-leaning people and right-leaning people have, at a very basic level, a different philosophy about other people"

Left vs Right is also a popular divide and conquer strategy. Not terribly hard to find something to distract them about other than real issues.

I don't agree with the argument, but the best one line summary of how the divide and conquer does its division is given the classic Reagan quote "trust, but verify" the mainstream right left distinction simplifies down to which side of the comma gets emphasized. Its surprising how well those three words and a comma, can enforce the distraction, err, summarize the difference, or whatever.
It's not about worst case, best case or average case.

The fact that in all cases, animals are born (without choice) into captivity, for the purpose of having their life exploited or ended, is one of the most compelling reasons you should consider your consumption of meat and whether it's really worth it.

A rather tendentious question. You may choose to ignore it, but those forces have power nonetheless. You may not be interested in them, but they are interested in you. Marking it down to "insecurity" is just bizarre
>> you're refusing to truly reconsider property rights as a use of force, and appealing to instinct rather than actually thinking about the problem

You're skirting around having to actually hear what I'm saying and let it sink in. Do I have to repeat myself? "Property is force" is a nice little distraction, and I've been through this with someone else before. Really, property is not "use of force" even though defending it may require some.

But even if you do view property rights as a "use of force", so what? -What do you think that implies? Well, this will probably just get lost in our comment histories, so I won't expend any more effort on this.
Really. It's "not an acceptable answer." Really. And you were saying something about "bias"?

Kindly explain to us all how "eating meat" and the suffering that inevitably accompanies it is necessary or even desirable.
One of the biggest issues with mass-produced meat in this country is the total lack of transparency between the average case and worst case scenario. If all you take away from this is starting to believe in and supporting better food labeling practices, and perhaps actually having a conversation about your meat's provenance with your butcher, I'd consider that to be progress.
Sounds like a rogue addon. You could try disabling them and seeing if that helps?
So is "hack." So is "terrorism." I share your frustration, but the way people use the language changes it; just look at the recent "because Internet" crap. Asking people on the internet (which I'd say is what most 'journalists' have now become as well, incidentally) to stop abusing and overloading terms is painfully futile.
Yes-- wuarchive.wustl.edu and ftp.wustl.edu are what I was thinking of, too. I fondly remember pulling Aminet and Linux-related files off those servers back in the early-to-mid 90s.
A few of us on a team started using Triage. We included our work GitHub and someone added a private Stripe account... then we found out that all of the accounts are accessible by everyone sharing the same work e-mail suffix.

Can we unlink accounts now? We've revoked the API keys for the services that we didn't want to share, but they still show up.
If everyone did that, there would not be enough meat to around. Something has to lose, either the animals or our meat diet.
You don't think an entire country (or group of countries) can't build their own custom mining hardware?

You're also talking about today's devices. You need to consider devices 5 years from now, created in a world where $10,000 Bitcoins exist.
As a developer, it would just peachy if they'd start supporting HTML5 input elements.
I wonder how hard it is to build something like that using the mic input. Or perhaps measuring the noise on a spare 802.11 card. I know in general it is not easy to add a kernel facility that will be widely available, but how hard is it to build a physical RNG if your specific case demands high entropy and you do not want/need a commercial product?

You alluded to the difference in your last sentence: as budgets have escalated, many AAA titles have moved towards directors, script writers and DoPs from Hollywood. So we get games that follow mature, established tropes that work well in AAA movies, but the games themselves lack any true agency for the player because they're designed to be slightly interactive action movies.
You don't index pointers by pointers, so I don't see point 3. Your types distinguish zero from null.

I personally don't like the idea of engineering society. But it seems that it's fashionable these days to do so. In my opinion if you're going to do that you would want to engineer the most robust society possible.

Ultimately the best way to have a robust society is for everyone to be 100% self-sufficient. It's like process isolation; if there are problems with one process it doesn't bleed over into other ones. That's not terribly efficient from an economic perspective. But as far as robustness goes it's excellent.

Specialization in society is more efficient at the expense of robustness. If you're a wine-maker and people suddenly develop a taste for beer you're SOL until you re-train as a brewer. That's a non-trivial process. But so long as wine remains in demand it's far more efficient for there to be only a few thousand (or 10's of thousands or whatever) wineries than 100 million or more. And the wine produced will likely be of higher quality.

Many of the questions we're dealing with today are where exactly to strike the balance between robustness and efficiency. During a boom everyone is gung-ho about specialization, as the downturn sets in people are more focused on self-reliance.

Ultimately like you said there's truth to both sides otherwise society would have shifted entirely one way or the other.

Personally I'd like to see a more robust society as that means that downturns hurt the country as a whole less, and those individuals that are hurt are also hurt less. Yes it's at the expense of growth but as we've seen in the housing and higher ed markets, growth isn't a panacea.
I'm surprised and happy to see a big outlet like the Rolling Stone doing such an extensive feature on the meat topic. Yes, they present it completely biased and it's clear what the motivations of the publisher here are, but I think it's important to finally get visibility on what meat consumption actually means.

It's fascinating to see that people who want to eat meat are okay with the fact that we're so detached from what it actually is. The objectification of everything in this world is definitely playing a part in this, we just remove the moral context of the products we buy so we don't have to think about it, problem solved.

I eat meat, but I am struggling with where I buy it, what I pay for it and how much I eat it.

I recommend reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Saffran Foer, where he leaves the decision up to you but is providing you with interesting thought experiments (why not eat dog meat?) and information so you can make up your own mind. It is unfortunately written about the American meat industry, I'd love to see exposure like that on European countries as well.
That's what you think "it's about". The article was not making a judgement that raising animals for slaughter is wrong.

"concentrated power of private capital and corporations."

I'm in your boat, you can't have a free market if one side has all the goods and all the power. "Let them eat cake" is a better recipe for a revolution than for a free and prosperous market.

You should have RequireJS compile them on-the-fly in the browser like the CoffeeScript plugin (https://github.com/requirejs/require-cs) and the Handlebars plugin (https://github.com/SlexAxton/require-handlebars-plugin).

That way a separate Python script isn't required.
I'm not even that deeply interested in military/intelligence, and I share your stance. It takes only a cursory survey of their patches, particularly air units, to see the logos are not created with any kind of serious purpose- no more serious than when my casual hockey team decided to call themselves the Honey Badgers.

SIR LAUNCELOT AND KNIGHTS TO THE RESCUE

Nearing four in the afternoon. The scene was just outside the
walls of London. A cool, comfortable, superb day, with a brilliant
sun; the kind of day to make one want to live, not die. The
multitude was prodigious and far-reaching; and yet we fifteen

tall scaffold, the butt of the hat

Vista also changed a lot with the service packs. People's impression of Vista was Vista SP0, which was slow (horrible file copy performance) and in my opinion barely usable (UAC prompts every five seconds). SP1/2 fixed a lot of those, so the jump from Vista SP2 to Windows 7 was a lot less dramatic.

Pay more for your meat. Eat less meat to pay for it if you must. Research the premium brands available in your supermarket - the words "free range" or "organic" on their own are pretty meaningless. Find out what delivery services are available in your area, research them. Buy from a provider you trust.

.. But Doom sure felt like next gen tech to the end user. What was impressive and inspiring about id was how they raised the bar on every major release. I remember how many of my friends had to pony up for 4MB of RAM and a new sound card just play DOOM, and how they reacted the first time they played just the trial demo. It was mind blowing. That's what I like about Carmack as an example of an amazing hacker, he pushes the envelope and delivers the goods, and then shares how he did it with everyone else, even competitors. That's what really made the entire gaming industry leap forward.

Windows 8.1 just eased up on a few of the more extreme UI decisions. They aren't making it into Win 7 again. The Start Menu, for example, is still Metro. All they did was add a button where the start menu used to be that opens the Metro UI, allowing users to open the start menu without swiping or using the Win key.
They added a button to take you to metro where the start menu used to be.

Vista was rushed out; it's effectively the beta version of Windows 7. Going back to Vista after using 7, you can see where the UI is sort of a half-way between XP and 7. There were many performance and usability enhancements made to 7.

If the suffering of animals matters, then eating meat is morally wrong. Animals are non-human persons who are aware of their own existence and who feel a wide range of emotions, just like we do.

Killing animals may still be acceptable in western society, but it's wrong. It's wrong just as slavery in the United States in the 18th and 19th century was once acceptable but wrong. Just as hanging, drawing and quartering to an audience of thousands in Europe was acceptable but wrong.

To disregard the pain and suffering of animal persons without regard for their interests - just because they're not human, is a form of racism. Peter Singer[1] calls it 'speciesism'.

We don't need technological advances in this society as much as we need advances in morality.

"I really like Bitcoin. I own bitcoins." - David Marcus, President, PayPal

He adds: "People are confused. They think because it's called cryptocurrency it's a currency. I don't think it is a currency. It's a store of value, a distributed ledger. It's a great place to put assets, especially in places like Argentina with 40 percent inflation, where $1 today is worth 60 cents in a year, and a government's currency does not hold value. It's also a good investment vehicle if you have an appetite for risk. But it won't be a currency until volatility slows down. Whenever the regulatory framework is clearer, and the volatility comes down, then we'll consider it."

I agree with him that Bitcoin is a ready-made solution for people living in less stable economies who want to diversify away from their (risky) local currency, particularly if they find it difficult or impossible to buy US dollars or euros through their local financial system.

Would you rather own (a) savings in a bank account denominated in a "soft" currency (whether Argentine pesos, Bolivian bolivianos, Libyan dinars, North Korean wons, Syrian pounds, Venezuelan bolivares, or some other one), or (b) bitcoins, which, despite their recent volatility, are used globally[1] and do not require trusting a third party?
