I hate job post jargon.

"Fast paced environment" == we give you more work than can be handled in an 8 hour day.

OK thanks, now I know not to apply.

How does this negate mutually assured destruction? If anything it enforces the idea that this is why we have only had close calls. No one wants to be responsible for starting the demise of (at the very least) two countries.

Very simple: Mutually assured destruction

If you can trade futures on the weather, then why not sports games? Why should Las Vegas be the ones getting all the money on sports bets?

>They might be 30% slower in virtualization and should be about 5-7% slower in real world usage.

Virtualization IS real-world-usage. This is going to damage Intel where it will hurt the most, the datacenter (which is largely virtualized using VMware, or Hyper-V). The Xeon CPU's have some of the best profit margins for Intel. If they erode away to Epyc (which is finally becoming available) this could be pretty good for AMD's, espically since AMD has said the the past few years there strategy is to go after the datacenter market.

>I'd be panic buying / selling every day to adjust which seems stressful...

If you can train yourself to do the opposite you could make a lot off this stock. Buy fear, sell greed. Never panic.

Losses are never realized if you don't sell, and just wait it out until it is back near 15 again.

>This is a product of SF being extremely welcoming and supportive of the homeless and the poor.

>NYC has less of these things because it has undergone extreme gentrification and has politics and police which treat the homeless much worse.

This is part of the puzzle. However, I think there are other contributing factors too, like the weather. If I was homeless I sure wouldn't want to be in NY in winter.

Joke is on them, only grandparents and mothers of young children use facebook anymore.

don't know, but I would think leaving it on an exchange is a terrible idea (Mt. Gox)

you can't talk about value without talking about supply

Your example is a reflection on counterfeiter and the person being deceived. That has nothing to do with the value of bitcoin.

that is exactly how markets work.

> bitcoin has no intrinsic value, just a exchange rate with other things

1. It has proof-of-work, which gives it value 2. Supply of the coin and demand for the coins determine the price.

The only thing that can vary widely is the demand, the supply cannot be fucked with (unlike fiat currency). It is impossible for whole bunch of new coins to suddenly appear out of thin air. There is no way to artificially inflate the supply.

Good point. I am taking for granted that people will have their coins in their wallets, and lot just leave them up on an exchange.

> fully determined by supply and demand

With bitcoin you cannot manipulate the supply, therefore you can't magically create $800M out of thin air.

Because you can't lend out a Bitcoin you don't have, unlike fiat currency.

> For example, 800M has been artificially pumped into the Bitcoin.

This is impossible with Bitcoin. Bitcoins can only be created via mining, Bitcoin mining is a proof-of-work crypto currency. Crypto's typically use proof-of-work or proof-of-stake in order to have value.

Tether, on the other hand, seems to have no proof-of-work or proof-of-stake at all and just claims to have a 1:1 ratio of their currency to dollars. Seems there is some skepticism around this claim of a 1:1 ratio.

If Tether, was found out to be a fraud I think it would have minimal impact on real Crypto currencies that use proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. The only negative impact would be the people that exchanged a real Crytpo for Tether might be burned and decided not to use/accept Crypto at all, which could impact the larger Crypto market a bit, but IMO I don't think it would shake it too badly, unless of course the main stream media took the story and click baited it with crappy headlines and poorly written articles that would falsely come to the conclusion that such a artificial pump is possible with real Crypto.

I think even more are holding out for Epyc.

This tone of this article is pretentious and just plain douchey. The author is largely assuming that their small niche (and petty) use case is what everyone who uses a KVM would want (i.e. using a 4k monitor). The single largest use for KVM is for servers, who the hell is wasting money on a 4k monitor for their servers? There are plenty of reliable and affordable KVM's that the author deems as old relics that work just fine for the large majority of consumers.
