Depends what you're trying to achieve. Blockchain isn't meant as a decentralized storage network either, If my goal was to keep a photograph in perpetuity, I wouldn't necessarily even want to put it on a decentralized system

by Nav_Panel 5y ago
Why would you put a photograph on the blockchain directly? The chain is for transaction processing, stuff like proof of ownership. Want decentralized storage? Toss it on IPFS.

Surely you forgot Nietzsche, and also about 100+ years between Steiner and Schiffmann.

...It's complicated, apparently, depending on how much you smoke, and whether you were a former smoker: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4401671/ > Overall, current smokers were less likel

My sense is that smoking is related to changes in ACE2 expression in the lungs, which would have some effect on CoV-2.

No evidence of that there. Only that "current smokers were 80% more likely to be admitted to hospital and significantly more likely to die from Covid-19 if they became infected" -- did they control for other factors, that tend to

As someone who's out here building a web3 site (and is a heavy twitter user), I agree completely. Most of the twitter talking heads also have no clue what they're talking about, waxing on about grand visions when the first set of

Ah, Carhart-Harris! His paper with Karl Friston, "REBUS and the Anarchic Brain: Toward a Unified Model of the Brain Action of Psychedelics" (2019) really stuck with me. Very interested in harmonic interpretation, thank you for sha

Pure speculation, but I have to wonder if our fundamental conception of sensation as a blank canvas slowly filled with positive contents is wrong, and rather that perception involves the apprehension of difference against some "basic

Crypto has rules too, does it not? They're just algorithmic, which some believe is far worse, but others believe is best.

I agree that bank runs harm the general welfare, and the reason why we can make that claim is because of the material relationship between the banks and the general population, as individuals participating in the economic system in order to

It's more interesting to me why we have a seemingly obvious belief that pump and dump schemes (which are effectively a sort of coordinated social phenomenon rather than a material movement) should be regulated. Begs the question: wha

by Nav_Panel 5y ago
While I agree that crypto is not compatible with financial legislation as written, in the sense of having a third party (the state) back up your assets, it's not necessarily incompatible with law itself. It wouldn't be shocking
110.
by Nav_Panel 5y ago
The joke is that the only reason crypto wouldn't "survive" if unregulated is because they (the feds) would un-regulate it out of existence. ... This is kind of philosophically interesting in light of Giorgio Agamben's di

Discord is great because of community discoverability and ease of joining IMO. My main gripe with IRC is that I need to add a whole separate server with a separate login to access different channels (which is, ofc, a feature and not a bug).

Oh, I totally agree on all counts. I have no reason to use Mastodon while Twitter still exists and is free. OTOH I'm currently working at a company building a social platform specifically targeted at crypto communities, and it's f

My main point is that "Free" is a strong force to reckon with, in the face of a monthly subscription fee. Of course, Mastodon isn't actually free, but it's the sort of situation like IRC, where only one ops guy willing t

Not just Discord, every little social circle would spin up local mastodon instances. It would be really good for decentralization actually, I kinda want them to do this lmao
