Basically the smart contract could have been written so that this transaction was rejected or so that the money could have been sent back, but that would make inteacting with the contract a little bit more expensive for everybody. Or maybe

You mean buy and sell goods and services? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think basically anyone uses ETH for this (compared to BTC and BCH where at least some merchants exists). If you want to buy and sell tokens in a decent

"It's an action noone ever has ever wanted or ever will want to perform." That's not entirely true. Just look at one of the many burn addresses that people willingly send money to all the time, for example: https:/

It is possible. That's why you have Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, two different chains. The latter one is the unaltered chain, while Ethereum (which is the most popular that's everybody are using) has been forked in such a way th

Just monitor this address then and let me know if anyone moves anything out of it :) https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000000000000000000000000...

And that's just for this particular token. You can go to just about any token contract and see how numerous people have sent their tokens to the contract address itself.

I don't understand why your comment was downvoted. If humans haven't transitioned into nuclear waste eating flying robots within a couple of thousand years, that's because they then have managed to go extinct, and in that cas

Number four, you meet lots of people, sounds like a downside to me :) Each to his own I guess.

When thinking about the concept of increasing prices, the company that comes to mind for me is Teenage Engineering, the Stockholm based design company most famous for their OP-1 synth/sampler. For example, both OP-1 and OD-11 (wireless

While we're plugging different software solutions for creating indented lists, I would recommend TaskPaper 3 for MacOS. It's a fantastic piece of software that runs natively on Mac.

I was thinking the exact opposite actually. I like how easy you can get a feel for the latest commits just by seeing the emoji, which is excellent! More people should enforce rules like this.

I don’t know. If a medicine cures 99 % of all cases (or even 10 %) would you say it’s ineffective? I’d say it’s effective, but depending on the your overall goal, not effective enough (if you’d like to call it ineffective, it would be ineff

My big problem with YouTube recommendations isn't that they're so good that I get sucked in; it's that they're so bad. I would happily spend more time on the site watching interesting videos if they only would show up in

A totally valid point. It seems like the proposed ban is based on the fact that the computations costs a lot of energy, are “wasteful”, and only makes the miner in question happy. I don’t see how this differs from playing high-end computer

What is energy waste though? If I get more happy by mining Bitcoin than playing computer games, is it okay for me to use the energy I would have used for playing to mine instead? I think that about 95 % of the activities that humans do pro

“It might be a competitive advantage to ban mining.” I agree, but couldn’t this be said for a lot of activities? It might be a competitive advantage to ban the production of reality tv shows or video games or cars or steel. Is it really a g

This exact reasoning can be applied to the buying and selling of gold, can it not? I’m not saying that therefore it’s moot, but is there a difference? Would you call gold a ponzu scheme as well or do you see a difference between the two? It

How? Because you simply amplify the sound too much?

I agree about the subscription part, but why is it useless and pseudo-AI? Would love to hear you elaborate on these matters.

I don't understand how people can put climate change out of all things to be afraid of. It's definitely an issue, but for me, it doesn't even make it in the top-10. I would, for example, be much, much more concerned that at a

Yes. The same argument that he uses to defend “lazy” people can also be applied to “morally repugnant” people (e.g., they haven’t been taught to think correctly about these things and therefor draw erroneous conclusions). That doesn’t make

I don’t want my search engine to somehow try to judge the believability of the results. I’d like to be the judge of that myself.

Yes, but how much of that maternal leave is paid for by the company itself? It's easy to be generous when it's someone else's money.

I fail to see how this is the company's problem. What if I take on a baby sloth that needs two years of potty training before you can leave it alone. Is my employer somehow morally responsible to make sure that I can stay home for this

I have also been forded to take some vacation. It was late in the summer, and I think my boss started to feel that HR might be coming down on him if he let me work all summer :)
