For a major staker, are you saying that running a validator is equivalent in work/cost to running a warehouse full of miners? Remember, we're talking about major players, not just some random guy doing this in his closet.

That comes with 3+ year delay, which is definitely a bummer.

The difference is that if a miner does nothing, eventually they stop making money regardless of how many coins they have. If a staker does nothing, they continue to collect and collect even more indefinitely with no additional investment be

A lot of companies use those perks as an excuse to get their workers to stick around an extra 4+ hours at the office. Of course this doesn't actually help productivity (they simply drag their day and work out longer), but to simple min

Are you purposely forgetting the billions in state and federal charger subsidies, and the billions in residential solar subsidies being paid out? Total US energy consumption right now is at the same level it was in 2007.

CEOs have been clamoring to outsource devs since the 90s. I'll let you guess how that's worked so far.

That's hardly a fault with Microsoft though. WinForms is fundamentally flawed and far better alternatives now exist, it'd be foolish to continue investing in WinForms. You can still use WinForms and .NET Framework on Windows 11, j

Not with their core languages. For example, Windows still comes bundled with the old VB6 runtimes and Microsoft still supports the language even if they no longer add features to it. I'm not really sure of any major Microsoft languages

Exactly. This was a materials science problem rather than a limitation of coming up with a design for a steam engine.

I'd rather just stick to what studies find as best instead of anecdotes about needing to physically exhaust children to force them into the desired sleep schedule. Also there's research showing humans have varying natural times th

It's simple in the same way C is simple. Sure it's a very small language with pretty straight forward commands, but once you try doing anything of significance it becomes extremely complicated and it's easy to do nasty things

Even supplemental, they give a bad vibe. They're just so unusual to see on a developer's resume, and it's easy to conflate that with the bad candidates who only have certificates on their resume.

Gerrymandering, the electoral college, and the senate ensures that it isn't a majority whose views are represented, but rather the distribution of voters in states/districts (disproportionate voting power) that influences who beco

That's the entire point though, miners are quitting mining.

Length doesn't mean much, it's size that matters, and that comes down to total transactions across all blocks, as transactions per block is not some fixed number.

Can we stop with this disingenuous oversimplified "big number bad" argument? Dogecoin is the only major coin with an intentional long term inflation rate comparable to real world fiat. That has merit and novelty as far as cryptocu

The argument is not whether they react to stimulus we consider painful, but if they feel it in a way that mature humans understand as pain. Babies take months just to understand that they have hands, they're incredibly simple minded, s

As someone who uses 3 monitors, I really wish they'd make an ultrawide that had 3 panels. Using an ultrawide in the center with a third monitor off to the side is too awkward.

That's not in support of traditional dealerships, that's a direct attack on their business model while simultaneously taking advantage of them. Sounds like Ford wants to turn dealerships into physical retail stores, like a Walmart

Cryptocurrencies were innovating in one particular aspect, solving the double spending problem for truly anonymous transactions. Beyond that it's not as innovative as people think. Even Bitcoin supports smart contracts, and the only re

Exactly. It's not whether Bitfinex is able to prop it up, it's whether Bitfinex thinks Tether can be propped up without too much expense. At a certain point it no longer becomes worth propping up, and that number is very far from

For higher feature counts the real concern is saddle points rather than minima, where the gradient is so small that you barely move at all each iteration and get "stuck".

Real world currency's value comes from an entire nation requiring it be usable for debt. That's an incredibly value thing to have. Cryptocurrencies have no such backing, and rely entirely on speculation for value.
