>By switching, you have a 2/3 chance. I guess I need to read up on the Monty Hall problem again, because I always thought it was 1/2 chance if you switch (vs 1/3 chance if you don't).

Seems like the author of TFA submitted it to HN, so they editorialised their own title.

Thanks for sharing, interesting that you liked the sections/pages structure because it was something I was fumbling with initially (but did eventually settle into a groove). I will say there is currently a lot of momentum behind other

While you're at it, make it a plugin, like I recall most things being in Notepad++ (even many things that other text editors have by default). I use Notepad++ for txt files only because it's fast, but I've never had a need to

Ah, so we've already reached the cycle where the media is reporting that all the scientist are thinking it wasn't a lab leak. So next we have the "lab leak considered racist/harmful/conspiracy theory" spin agai

There are multiple Proof-of-Stake networks already running successful DeFi projects. Harmony One, Polygon, Fantom to name a few (Polkadot/Substrate is growing quickly, too). ETH2 is obviously going to be the big one, though.

I guess it really depends on if you think the idea of decentralized finance is inconsequential. If you're happy with the idea of centralized finance, then I guess most of those things would be inconsequential. The argument for decentra

Minor correction; plotting Chia on an SSD will wreck it, not "mining" Chia. The article gets it right, but the title might be misleading. Really, it's a bit inconsistent to use the term "mining" for Chia. Plotting i

Approximate flight data from ADS-B has been plotted and is visible in the article. Even with the benefit of the doubt, it looks very shady. You could probably argue that it's the closest airport within the airspace they're current

I don't think this will help pricing or availability much either. LTT did a video on this topic somewhat recently and it turns out a lot of the reasons that you can't get a card right now is related to chip shortages and people (y

By that logic, diligent savers who put their money in a savings account to earn interest isn't "fair". It's fundamentally more fair to invest in expensive heavy machinery and dig precious metals out of the ground.

I don't think anyone here is saying that PoS is somehow solving world poverty. The people who claim PoS is better than PoW typically do so because it is more power efficient and still capable of running an effective monetary network (a

There's typically a fixed number of rewards per block, or the emission rates are on a schedule based on block height. Unless your argument is simply "stonks go up", in which case, sure, I agree. Is that a real problem? If you

I'm also assuming that these transparency reports don't count when an asset has been bridged to another network. A big chunk of USDC and USDT floating around on smaller PoS networks have been bridged from ERC20, so would appear to

It's not really clear how any of this is calculated, considering the vast majority of USDC and USDT transactions occur off chain.

Interesting study. Riot Games has done similar internal experiments on suggestive language to dissuade their users from toxic behaviour. I believe they were able to measure how effective the "pre-game tips" were at reducing toxici
