I think it's simply because lots of people on HN didn't buy any and now they think that they've missed the boat. They're angry because "stupid" people got rich on it. HNers like to think that they're smart

The modern financial system IS what causes global warming among other problems. Too few people understand this, and it's not possible to change it politically. Bitcoin is the only real solution for this problem.

It doesn't matter if people care about it being decentralized. It is decentralized and that's why it's going to stay around.

I don't care about the technicalities. The issue is that we would be constantly watched with a government defined black list. They could find all "troublemakers" with a simple query. This gives immense power to goverments, an

This is just really sad. Apple used to be the beacon of hope. Maybe it was false hope all along. We must go full FOSS from hardware to software to preserve humanity. Everyone needs to get on board, not just the savvy minority. That's t

Exactly this. There needs to more understanding about the negative consequences of inflationary monetary system. Absolutely scarce money, i.e. bitcoin, is the only solution to this problem. Scarce money forces to innovate in order to grow.

by Geee 5y ago
Real inflation is very hard to measure, because it's not only prices that change - more often the product loses quality while price stays the same. Either way, you are getting less for what you pay for, but only the price change is m

The utility of money is the ability to trade it for any utility that is for sale. Money itself shouldn't have any inherent utility, other than being able to reference any other utility in the amount that the money holds value. It'

Value and stability have more to do with adoption phase, i.e. how many people accept it as good money and want to use it. Today, Bitcoin is mostly traded against USD or other currencies, and these traders make up most of the total trading v

Money is not as complex idea as he suggests. It's just the most agreed upon way of measuring prices and committing trade between individuals in a society. It allows people to sell, buy and measure prices. Whichever way does this the be

Yeah, these problems are consistent with Microsoft email. I've been using Sendgrid to send emails for our SaaS and some customers who use Microsoft email don't receive transactional messages at all. There's nothing you can do

Yes, it is.

The problem is actually opposite. People won't believe anything because they assume that what they are seeing is a deep fake. It's happening already. If you see videos online of Trump / Biden / someone notable there&#x27

Is it possible that there's some kind of neural transfer from the mother's brain during pregnancy? I've been wondering if there is or if it's all genetic. Evolutionary it would be very interesting if consciousness wasn&#

Once you learn the externalities of fiat monetary systems, you will understand why we need Bitcoin. And you will realize that it is the most important innovation of our lifetime.

It makes sense for something that produces cash flow, but saying that bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value and therefore no value is just stupid.
950.
by Geee 5y ago
Yeah, it's like dollars or gold, their value is zero too. There is no such thing as 'intrinsic value'. Value is always subjective.

Just to clarify, in Finland housing and basic living expenses are provided for everyone who doesn't have enough income. Still, there are people who end up on the streets for some reason, and this program is aimed at helping those peopl

The computer was probably there already. I don't think it's possible for something to appear from nothing, because the "nothing" is always a framework for something to appear. The only possibility for everything is that

Better solution is to provide OS-level parental controls, so that parents can whitelist websites / apps / social contacts for their children. No age verifications or breaches of privacy needed for safer Internet.

I think they've been focused on solving the "environment mapping and object detection" problem, and if that isn't solved then they can't have the proper inputs to solve the "path planning / decision making

It seems to estimate the surroundings pretty well in the new version, but the path planner still has issues. I'm not sure if they already do this, but I think Tesla should run FSD on all cars in shadow mode, and then use the FSD vector

I wonder how intelligence affects introversion. I think that most people are boring and it's draining to act like being interested in their stories or behavior.

If the central trusted ledger starts censoring transactions, blocking users or producing invalid blocks with additional rewards to themselves, then what? Just keep going with it and accept the new reality? Then we would be back at what we h
