I think most normal/adult people don't want to live in a world where you can't ask out your coworker.

Meh, you see identity politics creep into a lot of the competition shows nowadays. You're right though that it is a good escape.

The government, by definition, operates at a loss. It isn't a business.

Totally agree, I find nearly no guitar solos that add anything to the song. A few exceptions I can think of are Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Maudlin of the Well.

Twitch chat is what makes Twitch so enjoyable. Moderation is probably the surest way to kill what makes it so great. Perhaps optional or opt-out filters should be in place or something. I also watched the Hearthstone finals last year and th

As I understand it, the DAO website explicitly stated that the code of the contract superseded any written or stated intent. Basically: The code is the law.

Crime != bad Hopefully at this point in the future humans will be augmented and have tools to circumvent this sort of thing. Confuse the AIs, jam the cameras, whatever.

Buffalo Wild Wings is awful. I can barely have a conversation with anyone because everyone's attention is constantly being grabbed by 50 big screen tvs blaring sound and loud music. Not to mention the food is not good and the tables ar

True, but I'd bet those that choose to opt in are more likely to get raises/promotions and create a vicious cycle where it's still opt in but everyone basically needs it to stay competitive (smartphone, car, etc.)

Also add that the largest manufacturer and user of ASICs is most likely covertly using something called AsicBoost [1], a patented [2] chip optimization for Bitcoin's proof of work. They (Jihan Wu/Bitmain/Antpool) have stated

Bitcoin cannot survive without a permanent transaction backlog once the block reward subsidy is gone. Either we move to having inflation or there is a backlog.

This is why it's important that it's well tested. Segwit is activated on multiple coins already and is being tested in the real world as we speak. Alternative options such as EC (which uses Xthin blocks) have already proven to hav

r/btc is calm and collected? Every single day I see a ridiculous tinfoil hat theory about how Segwit is just a plot by Blockstream (who they always mention is funded by BANKSTERS!!! and AXA!!!) to either stall scaling and destroy bitco

A blocksize increase doesn't fix transaction malleability or quadratic hashing or fix covert asicboost or enable use of lightning network. Also IIRC greg maxwell has said the actual segwit code is like 2-3000 lines whereas the rest is

Can't believe you are receiving downvotes my friend. It seems very likely that consciousness is an emergent property of a sufficiently complex system. Given that this is the case, if we have a computational system such that it sufficie

How are failed and neglected projects a result of being engineering led? If anything, I would think that killing and deprioritizing products, as well as making revenue fueled decisions (i.e. google shopping express for google home) are exam

There are some blockchain applications attempting to tackle some of these problems. Check out Maidsafe, Storj, etc.

Slightly off topic, but man I wish our leaders would still talk to us like this.

Man the left just excels at doublethink. "Tolerance only when we like what you say!" "A voice for the marginalized, as long as the marginalized are women and minorities!"

What about the normalization of hatred against an even larger portion of the population, those that support Trump? Speaking of uprising, ever think that Trump is a reaction to the marginalization and demonization of a certain subset of the
