What does your prediction have to do with my comment?

2018 will be an interesting year for decentralized exchanges and atomic swaps.

And they make their snide observations from where? That's right, their computers. How much energy is spent consuming and deliving Facebook? Or iOS games?

Correct. The most difficult part of trading/investing/betting (call it what you want) is often confronting your own tolerance for risk and uncertainty.

What's your point? I basically say that in my posts.

Right. You would had to have bought and held until today for my claim to be true (and it is only true at the time I write this). But it's still the case that you could have bought in any peak or trough in the periods you're refe

Yes. But I already stated that in my response. We do not know the future and you shouldn't trust anyone who tells you differently. My point is that there have been skeptics and people saying it's a bubble or too volatile for nearl

Thanks for chiming in, sytse and YorickPeterse! Re: misuse, I remember this incident https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11245652 made me chuckle and cry a little. If you build it, it will be misused.

It's interesting to see what parts of the product GitLab is struggling with compared to GitHub, e.g. https://githubengineering.com/stretching-spokes/

I'm not sure how GitHub demands that you open source anything. You can keep projects private if you want to keep them private.

Does a company have to open source their entire product to meet with your approval? It sounds like you're completely unaware they do open source large internal projects and hire people from community projects. EDIT: also, Git is comple

The key point is: > Caldera collapse volcanic eruptions the size of Yellowstone occurr at random intervals Which I take to mean that there isn't enough data about exceptional events like this to reliably predict their timing.

"Gitlab dominates" 5% of the hosted market vs 95% of the SaaS market. And their reported popularity is based on data from a single CI company. This is further skewed since it's one of a few CI tools that actually supports Git

So now people are paying other people to browse FlyerTalk for them? At least if you're part of the forum you can contribute back to the community.

Perhaps. I see the passive/active duality more clearly with listening (or consuming) versus performing music. There has been a strong shift towards consumption in all forms as we've gotten better at making things.

It does seem that most heroin consumed in the US originates in Mexico currently. However it is true that Afghanistan helps supply most (as in <90%) of the world's heroin, and their production is much greater than Mexico and South Am

Ah, I assumed the most pessimistic reading possible. Thanks for adding that!

The poppies used for heroin production can be grown in South America but most of it comes from Asia.
59.
by knownothing 9y ago
Right. Which is exactly what I said. Production has been on the rise since 2001.

We invaded Afghanistan--the world's largest producer of poppies for heroin and opium--in 2001. Production has also been on the rise since then. An interesting correlation.
