I said 50% not 100% :) At 2.5% in 16 years $100 is $148.45

The question was about educational choices. Of course I taught my child to read and write. Beyond that, I am not forcing them to get up at 7am and memorize what other adults want t…

I'm not going to make choices for them. They should make their own choices, and I'm here to provide guidance and support.

Stocks (Google, Apple, Amazon, Tesla) and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Monero, Handshake).

In just 16 years at 2.6% CPI, money will lose 50% of its purchasing power. Everyone should protect their savings against inflation.

Haskell (Warp HTTP server w/ WAI middleware, Selda with SQLite or Postgresql, blaze-html for templating). I try and avoid JavaScript but if I use it I usually write vanilla JS and …

Ships, planets, space, etc. are scarce and owned by various actors. The Federation is an interplanetary government made of sovereign member states, many of which do trade and use m…

The incessant snide comments expressing nothing but dislike for Bitcoin really don’t belong on HN. Not liking Bitcoin is fine, but if you don’t have anything to add just don’t comm…

By “private” I meant transaction privacy, which is offered by Monero.

If I’m going to stick my savings in a cryptocurrency, I want the network to be stable for the foreseeable future (and be private, but that’s another story).

A timezone can’t be encoded with a Unix time stamp, or a date without a time, or just a time. Unix timestamps ignore leap seconds and treat days as 86400 seconds, so it doesn’t cor…

Cash flow is for businesses. Ethereum doesn’t know what it is. The rules are always changing, running a full node is practically impossible, and issuance is always changing. It’s n…

My guess is it’s because Unix timestamps aren’t calendar date and times. The same number could mean a different date and time depending on which timezone is used. Given a Unix time…

Cool. It reminds me of https://viperhtml.js.org/hyperhtml/documentation/ >. I'm a big fan of this approach over React or web components.

Transaction cost isn’t determined by hash rate. The difficulty adjusts to the hash rate such that a block is mined every X minutes. Because the block size is fixed, transaction fee…

2009: "Well this is an exceptionally cute idea, but there is absolutely no way that anyone is going to have any faith in this currency." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=599852…

Bitcoin's hash rate has always been volatile, and it doesn't cause problems. Look at the raw values at https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate >.

This is awesome! Can you give an overview of how this is implemented? I love Haskell.

The chart for M1 (currency, demand deposits, and other liquid deposits) looks similar: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1 That's about 30% of all US money supply created in 2020…

Naysayers whine and crypto increases value like clockwork it goes.
