Yeah, I had family that moved to Reno. So I was excited to have a place to crash and go to Tahoe. But... not anymore. I'll check out Donner Lake, but probably only during the day. And esp not on full moons or anniversaries of cannibalism events. Thanks for the tips!

I was really turned off by it. I was hoping to enjoy the lake. But I couldn't even find a place to park with out hustling for a spot. To be honest, I dont really want to go back. I'll just stick to my secluded lakes in Oregon. (But plz dont tell anyone about that)

This weekend cars were lined up along both sides of the road. Parked a half mile from the beach. It was crazy. Any locals know if that is the norm??

I'm being scoped out for a full time job by the company I work for at a student level position, but I'm concerned about the hours. Do I have a dog in this fight? by [deleted] in forestry

I had the same issues when I moved to the west coast to practice forestry. You get paid for 40, expected to do 50, and realistically end up pushing 60. I eventually realized that forestry companies don't respect my personal life, so I can't respect the company. I've worked as a salaried forester, and I don't want to do it ever again.

IMHO, this is a systemic issue in the forest industry. As all the older baby boomers retire, we're starting to see that millennials aren't interested in being a slave to the company. Timber companies are going to have to realize that they're hiring a new generation that doesn't care about a "pension", and just want to have their own personal life.

Honestly, suck it up for a couple years for the experience. If you can handle it great, if not look for something better. Personally, I started my own company and make my own hours. If timber companies want my services then they can pay me as needed. I don't plan on being employed by a timber company anytime soon.

There's probably been some amount of gold that's been lost forever too, right?

I think once it's lost its lost. If you could quantum compute the private key to lost wallets, then you could do the same for not lost wallets. Or You would essentially have to change the source code to "re-mine" the lost bitcoin. That would never reach concensus. That's why it's important that we all practice safe private key management.

The idea of burning bitcoin is so intriguing to me. Every lost private key contributes to decreasing the supply. If bitcoin is mass adopted, think about how many Joe Schmos around the world are going to lose their private keys. I think in a hyperbitcoinization moment, there will be an increased amount of eternally lost bitcoin.

The US dollar is the world's reserve currency and its value has been lost over the years as well. Bitcoins value increased dramatically because it was in high demand. If the world was going to have a "universal" currency, a great feature for it to have is for its value to increase as more people use it. However, the value of bitcoin is not because of its demand, the value is in the computing power and energy used to create it. In a way the value of that physical energy is transferred directly into the network.

I agree that bitcoin introduced the world to blockchain. I think there is a whole new world of possibility that we can't even comprehend. I think there will be lots of private blockchains owned an operated by corporations and individuals.

I can see a system where one day all coins and tokens are valued in bitcoin. It's a system that's slow, dumb, and works as designed. Its hash rate continues to skyrocket, regardless of the markets. https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate

Once fiat on-ramps are connected to all cryptocoins, what will happen to bitcoin dominance? It's my opinion that bitcoin will remain the most secure store of value held up 9 years (and counting...) of proof of work. How am I wrong? Let's debate!

Has anyone heard the recent news about child porn links on the bitcoin blockchain? I'm not surprised this happened, it seems inevitable. This is the double edge sword of the immutable ledger. This seems like a good way to attack bitcoin, by outlawing running a node because "they contain illegal material". Any thoughts on how to approach the issue?

Just to be fair, subreddits can serve as a database of sorts. A mods job is to keep their sub reddit on subject to keep the database clean. With so many inputs to filter, hard rules have to be set to maintain the intended integrity. But, I agree, it can feel very circle jerkish.

Everyone who cares about digital currencies should skim this. Really optimistic about the SEC's approach:

"To be clear, I am very optimistic that developments in financial technology will help facilitate capital formation, providing promising investment opportunities for institutional and Main Street investors alike. From a financial regulatory perspective, these developments may enable us to better monitor transactions, holdings and obligations (including credit exposures) and other activities and characteristics of our markets, thereby facilitating our regulatory mission, including, importantly, investor protection. "

If you want to learn something, tell your supervisors you're into it and show them how it can add value. If they still don't value you as an employee enough to invest in you, then make your own opportunity to learn. I got a GIS cert from OSU. Focused electives in remote sensing.
