| Topic | I don't get the "Bitcoin has no real value" argument |
| Doe 10/18/21 8:34:41 PM #15 | Njolk posted... What is gold backed by?gold has a very long history of usage and has a definable limited amount both in circulation and contained within the Earth that can thus have its value be adjusted to other currencies Paper money, eg the US Dollar, is backed by the federal reserve, which owns trillions in equity in the form of debt and such. Bitcoin has a limited amount so to speak but the limitations that can make it scarce are also what makes it much more difficult to use as a stable store of value, since the cost of transactions will rise prohibitively forever. It's also much less likely to be accepted by major institutions like the US or Chinese governments because the governments have absolutely no way to control the supply and circulation of bitcoin without owning a majority stake (which is impossible for anyone, let alone a government when other governments would also want a majority stake). While that aspect of being unable to be influenced by governments may seem like a tempting and valuable attribute to crypto evangelists, it is also exactly what will prevent it from being accepted as a common alternative currency. Worst case scenario it could get regulated into oblivion. Once financial institutions are told not to touch it and big investors and speculators pull out, bitcoin will be considered valuable to far fewer people, and thus the price will plummet. So it's not really correct to say "bitcoin has no 'real' value" in terms of price because price is determined by the market, but at the moment, that price is both extremely volatile and based on speculation of imminent further acceptance or rejection by larger institutions. --- |

| Topic | How much should I stretch the truth in a job application? |
| Doe 10/18/21 7:37:48 PM #1 | I'm applying to a data engineering internship. There's two questions that seem very relevant to the job:
The SQL is a huge yes. I got third place in a university-wide case competition in designing a database that used SQL to match a client's internal machine part codes to their shipping codes. And I had a whole class called "data management" that more academically taught the use of SQL. (The project was a seat-of-my-pants thing.) The ETL/pipeline, the most honest response is no. ETL is a specific data pipeline type, and in general data pipelines should be able to take data from one place and put it another place. I just haven't really worked on that. But if I stretch the definition I could say yes. The SQL project scanned 'external' data (the shipping code from a shipment) and compared it to an internal list, and like techincally that is a data pipeline in a very loose sense. I'm just pretty sure that they automatically ignore applications that answer no to one of these questions so... --- |

| Topic | Damn, i got a fucking STEAL off eBay. This is incredible. |
| Doe 10/15/21 6:26:23 PM #1 | I ordered a Dell Latitude 5289 off ebay. This model has an i7 CPU, 16 gigabytes of RAM and half a terabyte of SSD storage. It's also a 2-in-1, meaning its hinge can be folded 360 degrees to convert to a tablet, and it has a very responsive touch screen that is compatible with WACOM pens. I got this thing used for $300. Based on some Google Fu, this configuration cost at least $1700 on release in 2017.  --- |
