I"m not a hater, I just understand the problem with Bitcoin. How about you zealots actual answer the hard question about currency? How does it hold value? hint: it doesn't. If you reply is to say 'how does any currency store value' then you should even be having a discussion becasue you do not understand what you are talking about.
read this and then answer the question that must be answered to have a currency worth a damn. No expert in bitcoin has been able to answer them.
This doesn't mean a crypto currency can't be created to meat the necessary criteria that currencies must have if they are to exist for a reasonable length of time. Bitcoin is not it, for very logical reasons.
"Every other currency is also vulnerable to govt manipulation" Nearly all currency have rues and regulation in play to minimize and control manipulation. Bitcoin can be cut in half with one headline from any major group.
That's one of the difference. Let me know when they have pricing floor, and can hold value.
" that it's only worth something " no. It's worth something as a store of value. At the bare min. it can be used to pay taxes and debts to the US government
"Bitcoin is no better or worse" sigh. Please take some advanced macro economics course. Then maybe you won't sound like a drooling idiot that parrots ignorant echo chambers.
Rebuttal to what? Bitcoin fanatics can not answer real economic questions about currency. How is it a reliable store of value? How to you create a pricing floor?
When Nobel prize winning economist who are experts in the fields ask real economic questions and Bitcoin fans can't answer, there is a problem with bitcoin as a currency.
There is no reason to think that. It has no floor, no control, no way to slow wild swings. Without those 'brakes' BitCoin, any currency really, can swing wildly on pure emotional mood of the day.
YOu don't understand how the government works, do you?
A) It as RnD working on stuff, cutting edge stuff. B) It creates goals and then asks people to solve those goals, this drive innovation.
For example: The military find out that the types of boots they have no longer fill the mission. So they put out a request for bids that fit what they need. A private company gives a bid and then builds the boots.
The Goverment is a driver. Of course there are exceptions, and a lot of really good things have come out of Government RnD projects.
"Governments cannot do anything to help that" IT can lay out the platform for such people to have an avenue to appear. Good cheap schooling would be a nice start.
", scientific funding is today only given to concrete applied research that promises specific results." false; however there are some people in congress trying to make it that way. Mostly becasue they are either scientifically illiterate, or are just fishing for things that sound good so they can destroy the government.
If the government put proper engineering standards as a requirement for software bids, that would go a long way to maturing the industry; which desperately needs it.
" Things will be moving much slower while new fundamental research results will be created instead of merely consumed." mmm, probably not. Of course you need to be more specific then 'things'.
In a lot of respects they did. A lot of tech form the 70's didn't start getting used in the PC until the 21st century. In a lot more ways, we found ways to use them that didn't need the technology.
Also, did you actual understand what he wrote? Lets put it another way: The way we have been doing things is ending, so we will need to find other ways to move forward. I can't wait to see what that technology will be.
It does if you understand Moore's law and the fact that increased speed is a by products of Moore's Law and the speed in no way equals power.
WIthout the speed chase of the 90's and 00' we would have been more focus on parallelization; which could me better usage of the cycles, and a computer that can get more done per cycle at a slower freq. Having a billion Cycles as second isn't worthwhile if you only use 10 cycles.
It depends on the language. If you want to write a simple and small hello world program, you don't use a program tool design for full featured large application.
You sound like an old whiners who has stopped applying critical thought to a problem. You son't need.net to solve the problem you propose and no one has taken away other tools. For example:
section.text global _start _start:
mov edx,len
mov ecx,msg
mov ebx,1
mov eax,4
int 0x80
mov eax,1
int 0x80
section.data msg db 'Hello, world!',0xa len equ $ - msg
That's the original paper, plus an interview. Anyone who even says Moore's law should read it. AC was wrong about the marketing aspect, but they are correct regarding the illustration.
By the standard we would define it 40 years ago, we have achieve it, it's just the bar keeps moving. Every time some one solve a problem regarding AI suddenly it goes from being AI to just being an algorithm. AI is not a fiction, the amount of free will we thing we have is the fiction.
The difference between people then and people now is almost entirely culture.
" which was so advanced that it was not equaled in some ways until the 1900s hahaha. Medicine was largely unchanged during that time. Wasn't until the end of the 19th century before actual science started being applied to medicine, for the most part.
Engineer know how to deal with security of vehicles. When was the last time hackers took a commercial air craft and forced it to land at a different airport? " impenetrable barrier for evacuations out of a city. HAHAHAHAHA.. if a city need to be evacuated, the traffic leaving will be an impenetrable barrier. In fact, since cars will be running and people will still have the illusion of control they will sit in there car. If there car doesn't work, i.e. the illusion of control is removed, they will get out and run for it.
Yes, when the government enacts a regulation it's all about controlling! When the government allows companies to make business decision its becasue the government is all controlling.
You idiots don't even know what the government is.
Trending. Maintain long term data of you're driving trends, traffic along the trends, etc allows for better predictive applications.
When you look at large dataset over time people have never really looked at before, patterns emerge. Narrowing those patterns down to eliminate noise and you can use it to make better driving decisions for the individual, and society. Patterns bout your life you aren't even aware of will emerge.
Frankly, so what if someone know where you drove to last year. Data collect and cameras are here. The fight is how it's used and by whom. Frankly, I would like the automotive companies to keep it forever but have to get my permission to give it to the government and that the government must serve ME with a warrant to get the data.
Activate the tracing system so we know where everything is, call the police and let them know I've been robbed and ere is the location of my goods and then enjoy my vacation knowing I will get my stuff back and likely get the perpetrator. After a while that will be so common place people won't bother to rob homes for most things.
Ah yes the old days fallacy. Give me a break. In the scenario you have laid out I can call my neighbors, tell them I was robbed, and to double check there locks.

Bitcoin is not it, for very logical reasons.
I'ts not that we aren't listening, it's that you don't understand macro economics and let your ignorance and ego create a nonsense.
My sig is for people like you.

That a compelling reason for cheap economically ignorant fucktwads who want to ride on everyone elses back until we no longer have a middle class
Of course, why dodge your legal and moral obligations with a currency that can have it's value halved in minutes?
There is no reason to think that. It has no floor, no control, no way to slow wild swings. Without those 'brakes' BitCoin, any currency really, can swing wildly on pure emotional mood of the day.
Except looking at history, they will probable lead to fewer soldier deaths, fewer bystander deaths, more accurate targeting.
I don't know why people think they are bad.
Coincidence and person bias. There is nothing in the monitors that require alignment to the pole.
If it really worked, you wouldn't have need to figure out which way north was, you would just move the monitor until it went away.
Everything is just a smaller/faster version of the year before with slight improvements, just like always.

Moore's Law ended about 5 years ago.

hahaha. Medicine was largely unchanged during that time. Wasn't until the end of the 19th century before actual science started being applied to medicine, for the most part.
No, he is saying the maybe this was a tool to aid them.
why?
Actually you reputation as a paranoid and ignorant git goes up 2 notches.
Or they can just be asked for it.
Engineer know how to deal with security of vehicles. When was the last time hackers took a commercial air craft and forced it to land at a different airport?
" impenetrable barrier for evacuations out of a city.

Yes, when the government enacts a regulation it's all about controlling! When the government allows companies to make business decision its becasue the government is all controlling.
You idiots don't even know what the government is.

Ah yes the old days fallacy. Give me a break.
In the scenario you have laid out I can call my neighbors, tell them I was robbed, and to double check there locks.
IT will also know you have less coffee and when it gets to a threshold automatically add it to your grocery list on your phone.
Is there coffee in the coffee pot? the internet of things will check if you need the pot turned off becasue you are at work.
Being able to go through my day knowing my routine needs will be taken care of is pretty good to me.
Now if I should just say 'poop
and have me poop moved to some sort of ice dimension.
