kown223··on Marriage Costs in China Are Out of Control
assuming those in control are there for meritocracy and are competent and that's why are there, they would have reacted, but no, are there due to their parens/people they know, and bribes.

kown223··on How Game Apps That Captivate Kids Have Been Collecting Their Data
there "Instant-availability of the secondary market" you're just talking bullshit, there is no such thing, as per your second point so what? do you think pokemon cards people didn't hired "specialists" either? What are those design choices to make them addicted, is a box it opens and that's it. This kind of post is what I hate about NY, people thinking they are so smart, while having quite a narrow/naive/first world view.

kown223··on Go's New Brand
at start I actually had doubts on go due to the mascot and the naming, like Go -> Google, they name it after the company, another thing they expect to put google in front of it and we have to love it.

kown223··on Bitcoin Crushes $9,000 on Growing Signs of Mainstream Adoption
if you have 9k dollars and you don't need to spend it on something, and you want to save, what are your options, keep it cash, will only loose its value (maybe less in US but in other countries yes with 7% inflation), you would pay bank fees, and the money would do nothing, buy gold, is complicated, you need to make a contract, again pay fees to hold it for you, buy real estate, is to little money, buy stocks, is complicated, which stock, 90% of countries don't even have a stock market, invest it in a business, again.. you don't have time, is complicated, which business etc., art/wine/collectives, to little money, you need to store it, research, etc,

So tell me which is a better investment/store of value 9k money, at this moment?, without needing weeks of research and paperwork and fees, etc.

kown223··on The World's Biggest Wealth Manager Won't Touch Bitcoin
It is a fair point but you can't buy bitcoin these days without kyc, not to say the IP trace, if they can break tor/proxies and access exchanges records they can "follow the bitcoins", but then again how much funding you need, in EU recently there were quite a few attacks where they just rented a big truck and ran over people, also the bomb in the airport, they made it from some cheap chemicals, and then took a cab.
kown223··on Bitcoin surges in Zimbabwe after military seize power
how would a government pay to secure their blockchain? how would they find those dealing everything in bitcoin? One of the reason of URSS going down was the huge administrative costs of spying / investigating, keeping up the oppression on its citizens.
kown223··on Bitcoin surges in Zimbabwe after military seize power
if you didn't dealt with this you can't understand, but simply put, 1 week of pay could be toilet paper next week(s), as it happened in Venezuela.

In my country some years ago, in a time of crisis for example the government locked all foreign currency in banks, and auto exchanged it for the national currency, at a rate set by them, it was robbery basically, prices would jump up like 25% day to day, so the national current was worthless, oh, they did the same with all the private owned gold in banks or so they could grab, sold for national currency, same scenario I think it happened in Basil too, government locking money in banks.

kown223··on Bitcoin Cash Skyrockets, Bitcoin Price Drops As Civil War Continues
hmm.. what's happening is a bit of bitcoin weakness, a lot of hash power came in, raised difficulty and then left, 40% or so, tomorrow the difficult should adjust, the dangers of centralized mining, although these shenanigans may lead to a proof of work change.

Wish someone will ask Zuckerberg if he feels stupider now that he no longer very young, and why we should listen to him by his words he is getting stupider by the day.
kown223··on Eight years of Go
care to enlighten me? if you have an index you could get the sort for free, also you never pull all results, so why would you pull all, just to sort, on the web I would love to work more in ram, but since you assume a server will crash, you need to save the actual state in the db.
kown223··on Eight years of Go
I did worked with spring boot and intelijava, and I timed for a decent size project it was over 40 seconds, but I believe a lot of it was Intelijava compiling, anyway, in go is instant.
kown223··on Eight years of Go
how often do you sort? most of the time you would do a database ORDER BY instead.
kown223··on Eight years of Go
For me Go is amazing, is my first language where I don't need a virtual machine or interpreter to compile to machine code, C++ is OK but not for day to day web.

Changing something then having to wait 40 seconds for java to recompile drive me crazy, also same for tests. Yes would love to have a package system, but is coming.

Tulips bubble never happened, is just propaganda
kown223··on Bitcoin's Enormous Energy Costs May Prove to Be Its Biggest Risk
demand and offer, I wander why the elitist hacker rank "liberal" people don't get it, the difficulty is so high because there is a lot of hash power, the network would be fine with much less, I think around 15% of the current one.

On the logic of banning stuff for power saving, we should ban video games and movies.
