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 them to all day every day. My child can learn about whatever interests him. I pay attention to what he is doing and provide advice, guidance, resources.

For example, if tomorrow I learn that my son has taken an interest in playing guitar, I will encourage him to take lessons, and provide what he needs to do that. I may expose him to music theory or other things I think align with his interests.

I will try and encourage him to cultivate skills and interests, but it is up to him what he wants to do.

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 avoid package managers and build pipelines.

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 money. Even without the use of trade, there must be systems for determining who controls what.

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 comment. Every thread about Bitcoin on HN does not a dozen comments that it’s a waste of time and energy.

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 correspond directly to UTC. And they aren’t readable by humans. There are many reasons Unix timestamps aren’t appropriate for encoding a date and time.

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 not even clear that the features claimed in this paper will be true one year from now.

Multiple consensus failures (most recently this last month) and constant design changes do not provide a secure foundation for sound money.

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 timestamp, there’s no way to know which date/time the author intended. The browser can only map a Unix timestamp into the user’s timezone, but it wouldn’t know which timezone the document/page refers to.
