IMHO you are being too idealistic. To illustrate, I would definitely not allow any malpractice/bigotry/corruption to directly benefit me. But if I need to do business with guys who have done malpractice/bigotry/corru

I think @pluma means that the mass nationalistic hysteria which was generated after WW1 leading to WW2, would not have happened, if like Turkey military, German military would have preempted all the events by a coup. Also they suggest that

Interesting suggestion. I am not sure about it costing the same karma. The net effect will then be, that the threshold of acquiring 'downvoting power' will shift further upwards. For example, people who get to 501 karma, will have

Very important point. I think the older you are, and particularly if you have dependents, you need a longer period of savings. Couple TV programs (e.g. Suze Orman show) advise to have at least 8 months salary worth of savings. I think if we

Oh, I didn't know that you could make recursive calls on the DAO! Gosh, to me plain for loops (what people call Turing complete) itself looked a bit too much, from scaling point of view. I wrote my thoughts on the same 23 days back, wh

To understand better. Lets take the following deviations from mean in series A&B. A: 2, 1, 3, 1, 2 B: 4, 1, 2, 1, 1 MAD(A) = 9/5 = 1.8 STD(A) = sqrt(21/5) = sqrt(4.2) = 2.05 MAD(B) = 9/5 = 1.8 STD(B) = sqrt(23/5) = 2

Precisely. People imagine the entire data related to all aspects of a process executing on Blockchain, will be resident on the Blockchain. On the contrary, it would be as lightweight as possible. And the transactions in a Block, could point

I agree with you that there is a wide gap between Bitcoin/Blockchain tech and real world. Won't contest that. But a will contract can be put on the blockchain, and its a step forward, IMHO. Just today I learnt about OverStock&#x27

I think, its more like version 0.1 of what's possible. I can foresee the existence of wills on the blockchain. e.g. 'move my coins to my inheritors public key, in 10 years, unless I overwrite this will, with something else' I

Basically, any client which can speak the protocol can send transactions. Normal human consumers use it via clients like multbit-hd (on Desktop) or any of the online wallets, which of course don't allow this mistake to happen, as they

If those shares are a small percentage of the net worth, then it can be Okay to keep them as is. But if its the case of them being the majority of your net worth, then its very dangerous. I look at it from a downside vs upside perspective.
