Government shouldn't silence speech. If you say something society considers awful, other private firms and citizens are well within their right to shun you. The problem with Rogan is that he's actively advertised despite being a r

Nice, I love Audubon articles! I don't know why anyone would read something about bird watching from another source

VCs dont care that a product is bullshit as long as they can sell it for more to someone else

Yes, but more generally someone bringing suit and losing should be responsible for defendants legal expense. This is the system in other places (eg. Germany) and greatly prevents legal bullying

Doesn't solve PoW pollution issues. Pollution is equal to resource use, which is equal to mining rewards. Mining rewards are proportional to market price, not # of transactions. So lightning could help with scale (I dont think it will)

Proof of stake has been ~18months away for ethereum since 2015. Sure, they've built some stuff at this point, but have made no progress on the inner politics of the issue. So it remains in some untouchable future for the time being.

If your argument is full "code is law!" then you need to take the flipside: When someone inevitably hacks the shitty solidity code and steals your stuff you don't get to cry to twitter or the police

About user-grown features. Over time, Java let users expose more lower level details to the language than before. But, really, watch the talk. It's one of the best conference talks in computer science history.

wouldn't it do so exponentially? The first time it does it once, the second time the statement is there twice so it does it twice, then 4, 8, 16, etc. ?

I would say Java the language is fine, but the culture around it is what's grown the distaste many have for it. The overuse of design patterns, etc. I also find it fun how Guy Steele had in retrospect the perfect plan for Java back in

BTC is about 0.5% of worldwide energy: https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index/comparisons So close to Sweden. Ethereum is much less, closer to Senegal in energy use.

Their PhD are absolutely not "work similar to an average [phd] student" It was utter nonsense, and a quick read of any page in any of the papers supporting their PhD thesis from someone with working knowledge of the area will show

Right, D has fairly sane metaprogramming (just slap the static keyword on all compile time stuff!) and somehow managed to make it compile fast unlike c++

1 - 11: $$ 12. Doesn't want to show the world how bad the codebase is. Seriously, Mathematica makes naïve python code seem blazingly fast I've had the displeasure of porting 4k sloc of Mathematica to python and the script runtime

The problem is that it's a continuous event. A lot of places are on the margin where 1c or 2c matters a lot. This margin moves up the more we increase heat. But more than that, the volatility in the climate system increases at a much g

There's a massive implicit bug bounty here: 1. Find a bug in this library and write up a proof of concept 2. Shortsell $COIN 3. Publish 1 Which I don't think is even illegal? It's all open source and public information so you
