Why are you accusing the parent poster, who mostly agrees with you, of making an argument comparable to perpetuating slavery?

Sadly, but unsurprisingly, searching for "Crypto 2.0" does not yield information about a shift in cryptography. What time period was this around when this phrase was being used? Where could I find more info on it? What was the shi

Chess has a well defined set of correct solutions. The rules are well known and understood. Connections is much less so.

The word 'system' is ambiguous and has multiple meanings. In general, and as per HN guidelines, you should assume good faith, and when someone guesses incorrectly about your assumed meaning clarify your definition. That said, I&#x

I'm pretty sure they were just putting it in quotes because it was the expression you used, and they thus were referencing it.

But we aren't writing down people's IDs when they enter a bar/adult shops and sending it to a database that can later be queried by governments.

If you insist that `len` shouldn't be defined on strings, and the default iterator should be undefined in python then: for c in "Hello": pass should throw an exception. Also if word[0] == 'H': pa

I had never heard of this particular aspect of demanufacturing, that's fascinating. Do you know of any products where this was a deciding factor, or at least a major consideration? (I recognize you probably can't easily cite inter

This is a fiction. I'm not sure if it is pushed by corporate apologists, or by people trying to convince others the system is completely broken and must be destroyed (and replaced with system X). An analysis of this claim: https:&#x2F

If we don't vary the sentence ("begins with, starts with, is prefixed with" etc...) and only consider the final part, then the number of english sentences is (unsurprisingly) equal to the number of possible hashes. So for eac

This proposal is itself a nonsolution and distraction. You're not going to pull 7 billion people along with this. We saw what a fairly massive reduction in consumption looked like during the pandemic. It basically put CO2 levels back t

Right; but the point is that the optimizations didn't require an entirely new language; you just take the core logic and write it in an existing language that has decades of optimizations. If you're doing math; there's likely

So there are 5 observed bosons, and one postulated graviton. The strong force is associaed with the gluon. The Electromagnetism gets the photon. The Weak force gets the Z and W+/- bosons. Gravity gets the graviton, but that's most

It is not a trivial extension. If you need all infinite number of derivatives to predict motion than your theory is non predictive.

It's not glomming on when these things are basically the core aspects of reality. You haven't really come to grips with what a world that was mostly inconsistent would look like.

The US government did not murder Aaron Schwartz. The story is tragic enough without misrepresenting his mistreatment by the government.
