What if you were on a bus, sitting across from a cop bashing somebody's face in? Ok, back up two rows to be able to video. Check! What if you have to get out of your car, but leave your camera running and the cop decides to drag you do

Well you do have an example of this in BTC. For physical property, it might be backed by a smart contract, then whoever takes your land, does so at the risk of being deplatformed. IOW, take my land, then the world around you becomes off-lim

Willingness to fork, which requires human choices/intervention. Seems to me the extinction of forking is (was) a design goal of BTC. I know of no example of that with alts. In fact, there seems to be zero appetite for this goal with al

Not clear on your "Bitcoin will be the Yahoo" reduction. There's scarcity and commodity qualities to take into account, and making absolute statements about behavioral economics has a far greater chance of being wrong. Not ar

Actually it's the elimination of a use case for a law.

Yes, owning property when that ownership does not require enforcement by a central authority.

by jksmith 4y ago
Simply, not depending on a centralized authority for regulation. For instance, whatever value any gov offers regarding trading regulation can be codified into the network. Here's the most obvious example right now: what is the argument

Nothing? How about the ability to self-regulate, and other acts of personal sovereignty? Learn and adapt, network gets stronger for all. Do Kwan is a circus act with elephants - he got implicitly deplatformed if not explicitly.

Hah, we are the creators, the self-created. Ironies are journey swag. Display proudly... Doesn't mean we don't have to iterate a bit. Iterate from problem to solution, inspecting and adapting along the way.

Destroy aggregation - whether it's amazon or msft or airbnb or statism or whatever it's ultimately evil with the advance of technology. Codify trust reciprocation (objectives responded to with evidence) directly into every aspect

I don't know about Apple, but I do have a ton of experience consulting for multiple F500's. Many at these companies who want people to come back to work are just middle managers who find it harder to justify their jobs since remot

That's way off the mark with regard to purchasing power vs money supply. Check your M2 chart. And your time frame on BTC is too short. Yes, it's trending up, and also becoming less volatile over time.
164.
by jksmith 4y ago
Yes, crashing up.

by jksmith 4y ago
You want volatile value trending up, or or value going to shit with certainty?

BTW, the only corruption I've run into with sqlite is plug-pullers with transaction frames still open, killing a debug session, the usual shenanigans that are improper with basic NTFS.

The whole scene was funny because while the MSFT Dynamics sales guy was really trying to be helpful, the MSFT Azure sales guys couldn't give two shits about the tool and wanted to give it away as bait to get customers into Azure. That

I'm using for a suite of commercial desktop products and it's working out really well. You'll need to figure your multiple reader/single write connection pools, and graceful shutdowns in your custom server to avoid a dat

by jksmith 4y ago
Oh lordy, this is waking up some bad memories of using Dynamics for a huge project. As a team of 50, we started having to extend the crap out of it with c#, which made me question the use of the tool in the first place. So we called in an e

Maybe, but I'd pay for better content and UX. Many movies above that royalty threshold just aren't available. Also Netflix must die because they canceled Cowboy Bebop. About time anyway. Always next version of the business they pu

Aggregation business model ultimately can become evil. Doesn't make any diff whether it's Amazon, Google, Uber, AirBnB, etc. The network has to become strong and trustless enough that any aggregation business model must operate wi

This is scaler talk about an issue that will require some vector solutions. Having consulted for several F500 corporations, I've seen first hand that they mostly suck, and a lot of this culture talk is driven by Bill Lumbergh not being

Sure, so can Modula-2 or Ada. Point is, degrees of separation in our biases, especially when it comes to C sugared languages.

This. The tyranny of popularity continues with "c" sugared languages, among other factors.

I'd love to, and support the project with my bucks, but that seems a bit optimistic in the short term. Getting more and more work done with linux in the meantime. With these efforts, at least my craving for sovereignty is mostly satisf

Well it's current state also. VB is gone, Delphi survived. Green threads and a different error mechanism besides exceptions would have encouraged more attention to server dev.

by jksmith 5y ago
Delphi was always challenged for a popularity slot because of the tyranny of C langs. My impression is that Anders went into "me too" mode, maybe from marketing pressure. They had a solid green thread lib but never made use of it

by jksmith 5y ago
Geez louise I've made some money with this tool. Always been good to me. Anders adulterated it a little too much for me, and I wish it had gone more M2 green threads, but it's still the best win desktop tool available.
