I can buy more of whatever good I want for 1 bitcoin today than I could a couple of months ago, and I could buy more then than at the beginning of last year. That means bitcoin is deflating.

The price of goods (using USD as a proxy for goods, which is fine so long as you account for inflation of USD) in bitcoin is generally speaking decreasing. This means bitcoin is deflationary (despite new bitcoin still being mined).

> Every coin lost that battle. Bitcoin was also intended as currency. At the moment, the amount of speculation far outstrips any legitimate use as currency. We're seeing the reason economists consider deflation to be a bad thing.

The space bar code and "secret word" portion together are the same across all sites. If your password is compromised on two or three services, the attacker has this constant portion, and the remainder of your password is a simple

Why use a PGP key instead of symmetric encryption (either with a random key encrypted with your master password, or a key derived from your master password)?

That sounds like a great idea, the only point I'd make is that a one time purchase model wouldn't work because you'd have ongoing costs (transaction fees for payments, records you legally have to keep, etc.).

> local & federal police If only such a thing existed. We don't have any of this pesky federalism in the UK. The police are supposed to be local, but they are ultimately under the control of the Home Office.

For things like buying beer, you simply don't keep records. Having separate ID systems for everything is just too cumbersome to be feasible.

There's better ABI compatibility than in the languages where you have to rebuild after every minor version bump. The C++ standard library version (and to some extent, the compiler) should be considered part of the platform.

There are plenty of times you do need to authenticate someone's true identity. If you're opening a bank account, or offering a loan or credit account (of any sort). Personally, I'd go so far as even if you're opening a

Until we get government signed personal digital certificates, it's the only sure way to authenticate that you really are who you say you are. Does Instagram need to be that sure? Probably not.

What if it physically unplugged the HDMI connection, and reconnected it to the other device? It wouldn't be quite as seamless since the initialization process would be repeated, but it would work .

Because you'd have to clone SIM cards / otherwise gain access to someone's text messages instead of just using a bulk list of "secret question" answers.

It really doesn't matter what build system other libraries use. If you use CMake, you just need to use `find_package` directives ( https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.10/manual/cmake-packages.7.h... ) to

That doesn't mean non-Londoners subsidise London transport. You also have to look at the taxes paid by London.

If you pick a stackage release that has all the packages you need, it's as simple as adding the package to your dependencies in the cabal file. If your stackage release doesn't have the package you need, you also need to add it to
