Someone likely did. They likely also retired, per the parent comment.

That's only in a fully deployed system. 70k people won't participate in the first buy of PoS ETH - you'll have a far smaller number, likely less that BTC at scale. Also, ETH has already forked over a doctrinal issue - I don&#

It isn't them though - it is a far narrower group. All blockchains have a rich get richer problem - the earlier you are, the cheaper it is to amass an unassailable position. Even in something more difficult to collude/setup like B

It is a double edged sword - he's also bound (and may not have been the initiator).

IIRC (it has been a few years), we only need a few degrees to reach a tipping point. The decay of methane hydrates could push out 1000 GT CO2 equivalent suddenly, accelerating warming by roughly ~40-50 years.

The desire for energy is near limitless - PoW simply bends the curve upward. As the price of BTC increases, the drive for less costly energy slackens off. The issue is clearly a tragedy of the commons - the cost (higher air pollution/h

Unless you value the time your money that is locked up at zero, they are definitely credit - as GP said, fully-collateralized loans.

Payment channels ARE credit, generally - I'm sorry this proposal was rejected. Was there a reason for the rejection?

The issue with the WTP argument is that Netflix isn't a singular good - there are many replacement goods (Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video) that push down the price via competition. The lack of raw materials makes this competition especially

There's a chunk of Americans who don't have bank accounts (or could work a government account online), so standard methods may not work for 100% of the population. Also, the Fed is very leery of destroying commercial banking in th

Do note the postscript below the graph - in May 2020, they changed how the M1 is calculated, adding all of the savings accounts into it. That explains the giant jump. Is the Fed printing money? Yes. Is it dire? Unknown.

Depends on the wavelength/absorption. The goal was to attack both the root and the leaf. There are more mechanical methods using steam + a spike that work very well too. Here's a very (terribly) high level technology overview from

Not at this time - founded a fintech company instead. I do miss hardware though!

Depends on the laser(s) and the weeds in question. Deep rooted weeds require different IR/UV than broadleaf. They actually kill them because they cook the root. That's ALSO why it has to be autonomous - it can't be done at a

The responses to that thread go into more detail, but I'll ask the more direct and pertinent question: IPFS requires someone to pin the data - who will be doing that going forward? The platform? The artist? The owner? Thus far, it isn

Skara Brae was occupied as early as 3180 BC. Egyptians didn't finish the first pyramids until ~2600 BC. It is truly a wonder - especially given the different circumstances than a fertile river valley.

Ah, smart move running the test process with people first, then rotating towards automation. What estimates do you have around cost reduction/efficiency gains with your approach (given capex)?

Yes! Currently, NFTs lack a stage - I can't imagine deriving the same level of MoMA association with "Owned by jcfrei (0x859128479178571823784)" when I got to a webpage.

There's an excellent Fintech Beat podcast that covers the cons for a proposal like this in detail (centered around CBDC, but many of the arguments remain): https://pca.st/episode/e06c5ca7-df90-4fcf-86da-5ba2d5f0ead
