You are not considering the value that very old individuals might contribute (and in fact do so) in many sophisticated societies with language: teaching of younger individuals and also acquiring deep complex knowledge about life, which can

You had an error there about Bitcoin Core (github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin). It supports SegWit: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-core-0141-segwi...

This guy is truly a legend. A force of nature. "Windows 2000 Demo It is done in an unusual way: the browser runs a Javascript VM, which runs x86emu, which runs Linux, which runs QEMU, which runs Windows. "

If you knew the technical details of blockchains, you would not think that. And yes, the process IS much more than wasing massive amounts of energy. > 1) Surely we can come up with a less wasteful solution to this You are welcome to try.

While it is of course going to be slower, "it's not even close" is a judgement claim. The tests you have link talk about 1.6-2-3 times the difference. In a lot of applications the performance hit is going to be worth gaining

This is very cool. You can basically even call all Java classes (and the other way around) from that JavaScript! (And reliably limit the classes that can be used if you want to execute JS in a safe environment.) Why isn't this used mor

While there is sure some enforceability, like he says, it has to be much harder to do because there is no way these ICOs actually have as much legal text written out and agreed upon by all participants. This has to mean that it will be much

If you can't learn how to use Swing, it means you are a bad programmer. It does not depend on your age. You might not be willing to learn, or have some other reasons, but claiming that Swing is somehow so old that young people are not

I think your experience reflects that basic gist I've gotten from most professionals: ORMs are complicated and convoluted because they provide a solution for a very complicated problem. If you are somewhat new and don't understan

Where are you getting the information? There absolutely are other visas. The ESTA is just an easier way to do it, and as such, can sometimes be more limited. You can also get normal visa and get other vetting procedures and likely other out

He seems to have tried to enter USA using ESTA. ESTA is not a visa, it's a visa-waiver program. It's specifically created as an easier method of entering a country, but as a trade-off, it says in the terms that they can deny it fo

It's pretty obvious that a self-driving camera-based software would take advantage of headlights on a car, just like a human does? So it never has to drive in full darkness.

With all do respect for your personal health choices, that's not science nor "evidence". Just because some culture does something, doesn't mean it's the optimal way of things, especially nutrition. It's just so

There are also tribes that actively drink alcohol or even consume natural opiates all the time. What's your point?

Can you link of that evidence? In form of scientific studies (quality ones)? This is not a general "you can't prove your point, you don't have science". I'm actually interested. I have been looking for hard science

Openface (probably state-of-the-art currently? If I haven't missed anything) uses a 128-dimensional unit hypersphere to represent a face identity. They have likely optimized this, so it's the dimensionality that works well in prac

Based on my life experience it is absolutely true that average people work much less if not in an office or other organized workplace. Many times even by their own accounts. This does not mean that there is a minority that can work wherever

A bit off-topic perhaps, but you misunderstand the purpose of mining (hash calculations). They are not meaningless by any measure. Calculating hashes is required for the network to prevent double-spends. There is no other known technology t

Fractional reserve banking is exactly what Bitcoin has evolved to prevent :) But yes, if nothing else, the MtGox fiasco has showed that fractional reserve can in reality function in Bitcoin world for a while.

It's all ultimately debatable of course, but for a lot of crypto enthusiasts, fixed money supply IS a feature, and a great one. Two main points I see lacking in your analysis: 1. The deflationary spiral is presented as some "fact&

Your stance is completely true. In theory. In practice the situation is very different, because noone knows (or has any way of knowing) what objective reality is, and whether one's beliefs are "false" or not. Yes, we do have

There is a lot of discussion about definitions of Free Will. If you define which one of them you are operating upon, then perhaps we can continue discussion. So far I'm not sure what you're trying to debate :/. I am assuming
