Not sure about Bitcoin futures, but there are also options on futures. Although similar principles apply. Just wait until people start manipulating the market to push the futures and options around. There is a lot of bad behavior that is

Is it really infinitely divisible when the transaction costs are fixed and high relative to the values being transferred?

What makes the market cap for gold a good estimate for bitcoin? I would like to know the price of bitcoin where the dollar cost of a transaction was roughly inline with a credit card transaction. Another systemic risk: government regulatio

To play devil's advocate, they clearly have potential for therapeutic use in a medical setting. It's a shame there are so many hurdles in the way.

It would be wasteful to duplicate the last mile fifteen times. Are there any municipalities that create/manage this infrastructure themselves? Having local, public ownership of the lines and contracting out the maintenance seems like

It seems that the only unions with enough clout to strike are public workers. I've seen teachers strike or threaten to strike from to time. In the private sector, the potential win isn't worth the risk, since long term benefits

It seems that this might be for only limited cases. I'm not that familiar with Go, but I suspect that due to coroutines, the deferral may not execute for quite some time, while in C++ this could be limited to the single-threaded flow

That's not an age or experience thing. People can be jerks at any age or level. Good engineers do not equate illiteracy of the codebase (unfamiliarity) with ineptitude. Good engineers educate without contempt. On the flip side, man

Generally, variable reuse is bad. But for something like an error flag that immediately causes function exit and is never referenced again, I wouldn't raise an objection in a code review.

People mess up for loops a lot! That's why range-based for and the STL algorithms library are so useful. I agree having multiple fooX variables in scope is bad. In practice, I've found that either many of these return types are

If I'm reading the paper right, the init statement could be any expression-statement or simple initialization. So, modifying unrelated, externally scoped variables in the init would be legal. I don't see this improving readabili

I agree that it's consistent, I find it easier to read when the branching condition is front and center. In 99% of cases I've encountered, the scope of the branching condition variable doesn't matter. When it does, an extra

Scanning through the list of features, one I dislike is selection statement initializers: if (init; condition) {} (Ref: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p030... ). It jus

Lack of a medical safety net and sick days hits low income workers very hard. Every unpaid day sets them much further back.

I believe many companies want to portray the image that they are successful, growing, hiring. Job listings are cheap. What is the real cost of advertising for many positions and hiring the good people that come along irrespective of the a

Intelligence is a spectrum, although creativity is trickier to define. I would argue that most children grow up inventing their own methods of expression (usually pictorial), until they learn the existing mones well enough to communicate s

I've never done professional Web Development. But, I found BDD useful for describing correct behavior to the end user in a readable, yet functional and extensible way. When it works well, it eliminates the telephone game of capturing

have you ever tried BDD (behavior driven development)? one of the interesting aspects of this is being able to develop the test implementation in a different (possible more expressive) language

I don't buy the golden age of giving scenario either, but it seems there was an era where people had more time (single income households), more disposable income, less pressure to save for education, retirement, medical expenses, etc.

It is a noble sentiment that bears remembering. Although, we should ruminate on what it means in a world of attention span saturation, where competing ideas are essentially DDoSed. If you look in depth at cult deprogramming techniques, the

It looks like one of those blue 1980s text menu applications. Does it have nice keyboard bindings, or is it menu driven?

There was a huge migration of white people out of the city in the 1960s once they started bussing students between neighborhoods to improve diversity. In the following years, several suburbs have experienced similar 'white flight&#x2

At least Cleveland isn't as flat as Chicago. You can find sledding and skiing hills fairly easily.

Cleveland is by no means a large city, but the Metropolitan population is probably 4-5 times that of Springfield, MA. Also, Cleveland peaked in population 60+ years ago, so the housing stock is relatively old and cheap, and the cultural la

Maybe not a straw man, but rather an attempt to frame the question in a way that is less likely to cause people to be angry or defensive. It doesn't seem to take a side, but rather encourage further debate.

This time period is separated by centuries of plague, smallpox, and high infant mortality. I would not be surprised that genetic diversity would simply vanish over time.

From what I understand, a good portion of that woodwork was built on-site as well. The fine trim carpentry and plaster work of past eras was unbelievable. In many older houses, a lot of detailed trim was made from plaster. Prior to the s
