they definitely don’t do this, but in principle they could use homomorphic encryption to do the compression server-side with zero knowledge

Random mutations cause random changes to "strategy", and viruses with "strategies" that cause them to spread faster become more common

I think I've mentioned this before, but nothing about SPAs require that level of bloat. My personal site ( https://chadnauseam.com/ ) uses React and SPA-type features like preloading internal pages so they load instantly

There’s ENS, which seems on sturdier footing than Handshake to me, but the gas on ethereum is ridiculous

It would be nice if people could just talk about technical blockchain stuff without the most upvotes comment every time being a wholly unrelated tangent about how cryptocurrencies are useless. I agree they’re useless, I just also find the

Loans create “virtual money” in a way, which does contribute to inflation (in fact, controlling lending is a primary way the federal reserve controls inflation)

I don’t think enough people use pihole for smart TV manufacturers to care, and encrypted DNS breaks that anyway so setting up a 5G base station in your house would be overkill

You keep saying “instant”, but in practice ethereum takes a few minutes for finality and can only handle a maximum of 50 tps. I’ll grant that both of those may improve with as zk tech matures, but even with rollups there’s no way of having

The very next line is > The term "yet" may be misleading to Internet users. Their argument is that it's not absolutely clear.

I don’t see any choice words about Handshake or ENS, only about registrars that allow people to purchase them without making it clear they won’t work on most computers in the default configuration

It solves the problem of needing to make and remember a username/password on every site you use, it solves the problem of password hashes being leaked when a site gets compromised, it solves the problem of not being able to know that h

I agree. His character in the comics had a different design and was more noting imo. For example, in the movie when he’s complaining about his new school, he says “I’m only going here because I won that stupid lottery”, and his dad replies

There was an informal study done in the early 20th century, where a superintendent decided he didn’t think math was that useful and told the 4 poorest elementary schools in his district to stop teaching it. (He chose the poorest schools bec

I largely agree with you but I’m not sure MDMA belongs here. You do see people who are addicted to MDMA, I know of someone who goes through a gram every weekend, but in most cases if you use MDMA too frequently it’ll stop feeling special. I

When I switch between mac and windows I'm always getting those confused (on windows the same is ctrl-left/right). Any advice?

> The energy usage (due to air resistance) is non-linear with speed. Driving at 85 mph could use twice as much energy as driving at 65 mph. Does this mean I'll use twice as much gas when driving an ICE car at 85 vs 65? Or do gas car

I understand why you would prefer cloth seats and no screens (I totally agree), but what do you gain from hand crank windows or the absence of air conditioning?

I'm only bi, but this isn't obvious at all to me. In fact it seems obviously wrong. Most marginalized groups don't "overcompensate in achievement-related domains", and I don't see what mechanism would make LGBT

It's not meaningful to talk about IPFS being expensive, it's like saying bittorrent is expensive. Both are just ways for people to seed a file, and other people to retrieve that file from its hash. There's only as much redund

I’d expect other civilizations to have also invented rockets, microwave ovens, radio communications, and more. Does another civilization arriving at the same thing as us mean it isn’t an invention?
