Those types of tyrannical governments already have people operating in black markets. Crypto doesn't really change that it just makes the bad government's job harder which the vast majority of the world would agree is a good thing

Tarn isn't known for being a good developer. He's just very dedicated :) In fact it's pretty well known that Dwarf Fortress has a horrible code base and it would be a huge project to bring it up to a good standard.

What a ham fisted reaction to the controversy. Now all content creators have to ensure that no kids are ever in their videos, which includes background footage and movie clips. I think this is a major problem with our current centralized mo

Steve Jobs killed Flash. I fully believe that Flash would still be around and kicking (horribly) if he didn't step in and do something about it. Jobs isn't here to save us anymore.

I feel like you just haven't spent much time there. Lots of interesting discussions are to be had on a vast number of topics. Much of Internet culture originated there as well. I feel like 4chan has shown just how needed an anonymous f

There's no alternative at least where I live. I either use their service or don't get the items (since the reason I'm using them is because getting them myself is a problem). A cash tip fixes this problem. I can't do any

The vast majority of Americans don't get a choice of who to vote for as districts are extremely gerrymandered nowadays. The only politicians I had a chance to vote for last election was local ones like the school board. Congress was ju

I'm just a science fan and not an expert by any means but it appears that time simply stops at the event horizon for all intents and purposes. Things/light does not fall into the black hole as it just freezes at the event horizon.

Solid looks to be trying to reimplement what platforms like Ethereum are already building. The same ethos is there and this is very well written but I wonder if the Solid project just missed that when doing their research. Hopefully all of

That's because we don't have the (as the OP puts it, insane) temperament to fight some battle for days on end for something we really don't care that much about. It takes effort to dig up some random edit from years ago that

Humans like interactions. Doing the interactions, reading about interactions, etc. It's why we have drama in the first place. War is the ultimate form of interaction as every participant is using 100% of their capacity to influence a c

That's a good question. It's impossible to prove that anything besides math itself is absolutely true but we can say that for all known knowledge what is in this paper is true and secure. Unless some new discovery is made the pape

This makes me wonder... what happens if you open a Sears card (yesterday) and max it out with all kinds of fun stuff and then Sears goes out of business? Does someone come after you for money?

This is also the problem that eBay faced in the 90s. It mostly solves it with social mechanisms like reputation scores and in general it does a pretty good job. I think we'll see a lot more solutions like that in the future.

You will only make a few blocks a day depending on how much you stake. It's not too intensive from what I've seen. I think it will work fine even on a slow HDD. One important thing to note is that the proof of stake Ethereum chain
