I've read rumours that Satoshi was a close person to Kim Jong Un, probably some conspiracy theory

I'm even surprised we didn't have this kind of news already. It's a predicted behavior for governments, let's how anti-fragile the system is (grabs popcorn)

It's quite fascinating to observe disruption and fear in society at the age of the internet. It most have felt the same for all the technologies the bitcoin haters use everyday ( p…

Better as in better money[1], nothing else. If you are talking about income inequality, it cannot be fixed with money as it is just a tool. If our economic system is based on hoard…

> But if this would take off and get a strong foothold at the prices that we're seeing now (bitcoin almost 10K in dollars), then didn't some subset of techies print a lot more mone…

This or any similar project should run on IPFS. How is this an open community driven if it's dependent on a single private centralized entity ? What happens if they disappear ? The…

| On the other hand, think about it: what do Google and FB have that we don't? Personal data. What they have is data that is useful to target ads. Yeah ? like the tons of photos th…

What magic are you talking of when you know data is the most precious element to do anything meaningful and it's hoarded through a handful of megacorps. Why don't we hear of any sm…

Patrick McKenzie is fortunate enough to not be born in a country that is currently suffering from hyper-inflation neither is he living under a dictatorship that is putting capital …

1- Bitcoin is not stock so comparing with stock has no weight in your argument 2- It has already been on a very long bear market (2013-2015) where everyone said pretty much the sam…

And how do I verify that the money printed is not more than the increase in productivity ? Effectively stealing from my productivity through price inflation ?

Or to put it in Edward Tuft's "Lie Factor" terms using a 5000 lbs elephant and 5mg mosquito I get a lie factor of 454046 (if someone can check out the math).

Bookmarking this page in hope of having some alternatives. I'm even ready to throw some money/programming hours to any serious projects

>>> there is reason to believe that the expected value of your total investments is positive Hmm, I wonder if the zero interest rate "trickle down" free money that is keeping stock…

Ah the famous "I know what's good for you" argument that was used the same way by the church to forbid access to book printing ! I think these coming technologies will prove all pe…

Tell me how is this objectively different than VCs ? Other than it's now available to everyone instead reserved to the elite ? In both cases, you are well aware most of your invest…

Yes, check everything made by Bret Victor and his explorable explanations. I made an awesome list recently just for this topic: github.com/sp4ke/awesome-explorables

You might be interested by this curated list of explorable explanations [1]. It has a good section on math. [1] https://github.com/sp4ke/awesome-explorables

As someone learning ML thank you so much ! I hit wall trying to deeply understand the concepts of statistical inference and their relation to Neural Networks and other ML tools. As…

Amazing, thanks for sharing :)

I did frontend for around 5 years. Started with Angular before it was cool and went through all the node/npm hype. I'm getting out of frontend now because of the ridiculous state o…

This ! It seems the coming IT generation got so much sucked into the current state of programming, few actually try to look at the big picture for some perspective on "why" are we …

+1 I would be interested by such platform/tool to learn math concepts

Would be better to share a link to the source somewhere on the website.

I started a diary article here. Link: https://medium.com/@ChakibBenz/making-a-home-made-mini-cloud...
