one commonly used measure of inequality is the Gini coefficient, which isn't perfect but is great for getting a "big picture" view of things. The increased exposure of the rich to the vicissitudes of valuations doesn't…
That formula won't work with compound interest. I'm not sure if most spreadsheet packages have an exponential function, but the formula should be money_in_account * exp( interest_rate/12 )
This is a really good point. Direct evidence of Satoshi's identity can only be in the form of someone claiming to be him, and that just wouldn't be credible. Circumstantial evidence is all we're going to get; even…
There's a difference between a "conversation" and an "internet exchange". In person, I agree completely. Skepticism towards your friends/ family/ acquaintances can easily poison the discourse and ruin relationships. If…
well, the first thing you do is ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ a ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ to ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ your ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️, and after that it's all pretty ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️.
Big if true. If not though, nearly a million out of 17.6 million bitcoins seems like a huge number to be out of circulation, and that's a lower bound (other bitcoin owners have almost certainly died without being able…
Just because most users use their devices for entertainment doesn't mean that entertainment is a valid reason to need more bandwidth. Most users couldn't give a good gosh dang whether the resolution is higher on their…
Hey jobson, fair point. Please read my reply to exabrial below. There's a couple other commenters with salient links there, too.
While cable boxes could be replaced by subsidized smartphones, my question is "Why?". A wired connection will always be less capricious than a wireless one [citation needed], so if your TV is in a fixed position there's…
> While 5G Will be a great boon This is something I've been having trouble with. Lately I've become more aware of the secondary effects of 5G- on weather forecasting, on the radio spectrum, possibly on bees- and it's…
It's not as though Linux is the only Unix in town. There's also MacOS and BSD. edit: and probably a whole bunch of other Unixes (Unices?) that I don't know about.
I'm guessing that everybody's going to lose for a while. When Netflix began offering streaming services, the major studios weren't certain enough that it would take off to develop their own, but they were willing to…
Question related to this: I'm applying to jobs in data science (straight outta grad school), and I'm not really sure how to market myself. The problem I keep running up against is that data science is such a broad term…
