The only input of wealth is people buying tokens on the market. The only output is people selling tokens on the market. There is a constant drain of this wealth from both market fees and from miners minting new coins and cashing them out. T

I am not actually doing any of those things, even though they would all be fair to say. I am saying that the economic system built around bitcoin is, by definition, negative-sum. And there is nothing about the technology that can change tha

How many decades is it going to take for bitcoin to not be “early stage”?
214.
by DagAgren 7y ago
Not only is nobody using bitcoin for that, bitcoin is also a negative-sum game, and no actual new wealth is created. If you were going to buy those credits, you would get more if you cut bitcoin out of the equation entirely.

Gold has not been the basis of any economic system for about a hundred years.

This, is my experience, tends to just chase the mess deeper into the architecture, which may not be a good tradeoff.

You say it doesn't save "a lot" of energy, but it still saves energy. And you can do both, you can reuse until the bottle is in too bad condition, and then recycle. Also, http://www.ferver.eu/en/node&#x2F

Why have two ways to do the same thing, where one is awkward and the other is not? Just commit to doing things the less awkward way, and throw out the idea that you need to be backwards compatible with something designed for a completely di

Because you already have to learn a bunch of new stuff, since Markdown does not support this use case. You could easily borrow some common things from Markdown to make things easier, but this seems to try to force following the Markdown syn

by DagAgren 7y ago
I'm not sure I see why you would want to base this on Markdown. Markdown is designed for a very specific niche, and this falls far outside that niche. It seems it would make a lot more sense to just design the language from scratch, ra

Nobody is willing to trade this functionality. You are going to just have to take this as a given. People aren't going to stop wanting to use computers in their own language just because you are upset about font rendering. It is just n

They do not "change from one week to another". They have changed, what, twice ever?

The challenge here is for YOU to come up with a solution that is better than what is already used, which you have not. You have thrown away all the parts that are hard, and suggest only implementing the part that is easy, in a bad way. That

The further away from base stations you get, the more your phone will have to turn up its transmitting power, and the quicker the battery will drain. Going out into the wilderness will drain your battery quicker than expected.

And do you think that is what every other person is reading?

It is very, very far from "good" on macOS.

He does not propose that. He is merely saying that they are going to move SOME users from Mac to iPad. Not all, just some.
228.
by DagAgren 7y ago
His answer is not that Apple is moving "everybody" to the iPad. Just some. It won't split the Mac lineup into ARM and x86, it will split it into iPad and Mac.

In this case, though, they are. There are no good cross platform UI kits, and there probably never will be.

Crashing more in relative terms than it ever has in the history of bitcoin.

Your link shows the hashrate is crashing massively at the moment, you know.
232.
by DagAgren 7y ago
It's not. Look again.
233.
by DagAgren 7y ago
This is the reason why cross-platform UI toolkits are just never going to be a good idea. They will always provide a worse experience than just using and designing for the native UI toolkit.

People know what they need to spend their money on. Telling them what they can and can't do with it is both patronising and counter-productive. Let the person who is affected by the choices make the choices.
236.
by DagAgren 7y ago
Yeah, disputed is much better.
237.
by DagAgren 7y ago
That is not actually a refutation.
238.
by DagAgren 7y ago
Probably not related. Sounds like it's just doing something like replacing `counter++` with `if(rand() % counter == 0) counter++`, so that the counter will increase slower and slower the larger it gets.

The same is true with the method I suggested.

The service I work from doesn't use passwords to log in at all, it just sends a confirmation mail to your inbox. Given that password resets exist everywhere, your security is already 100% bound to the security of your inbox, so you mig
