I've often imagined what it would be like to have an executable brain scan of myself. Imagine scanning yourself right as you're feeling enthusiastic enough to work on any task for a few hours, and then spawning thousands of copies

>Go C/C++ native, or GTFO ... I don't think memory-safety issues are the killer app for Ethereum. The lack of C/C++ is one of the best things about the Ethereum ecosystem.

I think people feel like they're the cause of something when they make a choice and then cause something by that choice. That whole choice process is carried out by physical reactions in our mind. Neurons fire and produce the thoughts

And it's not just like people found these probabilities and then decided to stop trying to explain things and said "what if these are just how physics worked". Instead, people found that any attempts at removing the probabili

I think a lot of people get mixed up by the idea that "physics determines your actions", as if that's contradictory to "you determine your actions". I love the way https://www.lesswrong.com/posts&#x2

If you go with the Many-Worlds Interpretation, then trying to remove the randomness is nonsensical: the world just branches (in proportions as described by the Schrodinger equation), people on every branch have experience, and "randomn

As someone who has used both Flow and Typescript for years, I'd recommend Typescript over Flow. You can use Babel to compile Typescript code just like you can with Flow and have Typescript do its type-checking in CI. Typescript has bet

Not to invalidate your point, but Tether is a particularly untrustworthy example. USDC is another centralized stablecoin that's more transparently managed than Tether, and then DAI is a decentralized stablecoin that keeps its value thr

You get the other benefits of cryptocurrencies: direct control and the ability to store or send it online with no middlemen or custodial risk.

I'm legitimately surprised someone could type this out but then make it about any news station other than Fox.

There are decentralized cryptocurrencies that have achieved low volatility, such as DAI. I don't think it's ever gotten more than a couple percent from its $1 target price since being created. (I assume it almost never gets talked

The second most popular cryptocurrency, Ethereum, is making progress toward adopting proof-of-stake, which will obsolete the need for mining and therefore be much more eco-friendly. Hopefully other cryptocurrencies will do this too as PoS b

I've been disappointed at how SWR and react-query seem to only support the bare minimum for mutations. As far as I can tell, they don't offer any kind of protection from refreshes overwriting any local mutations that haven't

Did you have a typo in your earlier message "I don’t believe in climate change", or is there some angle or point in that I'm missing?

There are different reasons one would be NIMBY. The article specifies "left-NIMBY" because it's specifically trying to address a specific set of reasons that are commonly associated with a subset of the left.

Not him, but there is progress in the Ethereum ecosystem on multiple fronts (in a way that's lacking in Bitcoin), so following that progress seems viable. There are working ERC-20-compatible layer 2 low-fee/instant transfer system

People getting banned for all sorts of stuff certainly isn't new. Before there were large social media platforms that tried to serve everyone, there were lots of forums ran by random people, and you could get banned for pissing their a

Er well I think those are all bad examples -- they all seem pretty dystopian to me, a non-straight atheist with some criticisms of capitalism. But I think it's a slippery slope to go from seeing that dystopia where some opinions are of

Is it dystopian? There are plenty of bad arguments one could make on this very site which would get your post hidden or removed or even your account banned, and it doesn't feel very dystopian. I wouldn't come here if this site did

It's a big leap to go from <Trump gets banned for inviting violence through deliberate misinformation> to <while we're at it, let's ban all politicians because they're similar>. Most politicians have nothing

Twitter edits their site from the top all the time. It would look like your spam folder if they didn't. They remove spam, harassment, calls to violence, etc. It would not be popular if they didn't do any of this.

This has been my experience. I used to help moderate a forum, and never had any issue at all banning people for posting racist stuff up until 2016. Then people started calling that "political" and insisted I was biased against con

Trump has no shortage of places that he can speak his voice and people will hear him. He can call any news station right now. He could make an account on Parler or many other social media sites. No specific company is obligated to broadcast

Politicians aren't the only ones spreading dangerous misinformation and conspiracy theories. They also aren't uniformly doing it; what prominent left-wing politicians are doing so? This is just a lazy both-sides position but this

Knee-jerk? This seems like an action done way after it was first needed.

Everyone is an arbiter of their own platform. They do it when they take down spam on their platform, and they do it when they take down harassment on their platform. And now they do it when they take down calls to violence on their platform

This action is YouTube pushing back against government misinformation! Why would you think it's a sign that they're more likely to push government misinformation in the future?
