Perhaps you're a little too invested to see the experience the mechanism properly?

Ha, were people really saying this back then?

So people won't be able to make money selling their stocks to other people. Maybe corporations will simply adapt and provide dividends that appropriately compensate for the price of the stock?

I think I'm just being difficult. My point was that when you call something a double standard, you're arguing two things of equal value have been judged differently under the same standard. But by acknowledging they've been j

There isn't: the function for this standard includes expected benefit as an input. Every standard has inputs, so that certainly isn't the quality for making something a double standard. The only remaining quality is how unfair it

Why are distributed protocols necessary in the first place? I know nothing about this space.

Some people are willing to trade goods and services for Bitcoin, just like they would dollars. I don't think it's relevant what the person receiving the Bitcoin does with it after (converting directly to dollars, holding, or buyin

As long as you never convert into traditional currency, how will they know you participated in a transaction?

Absolutely right. By the same qualifications, it's possible, but also completely infeasible, to create a flat map that approximates any function. Because it is obvious that it won't be useful, nobody will write home about it.

I think he's saying that by attacking California schools, the University of Texas was more likely to take Dijkstra in.

I'm reminded of the inevitable "I'm not biased, but I'm going to complain about this because I think it's an attack on me" that comes up whenever anyone on the internet mentions that speaking about institutiona

It certainly won't work well without direct, constant human intervention. Emergence isn't something multiple 3rd parties have ever done well, and I don't see a compelling argument for why it would work now.

I know people have said this before and been very wrong for it, but I just don't think there's much in those constraints to innovate (read Blackberry). Unless you change the only fundamental aspects of owning a car (driving, parki

I live in the area too, and it is known that politicians involved in the bill have conflicts of interest with the cab companies. Here's JDI's response to Mike Maples argument that mentions it. http://josh.jones-dilworth

What are the rumors? I'd consider myself anti-apple, but it still saddens me that they aren't doing cool stuff anymore.

The agriculture industry is already heavily subsidized to prevent food shortages. But breaking away from the sarcasm, I agree that communism isn't useful. It's just there are already parts of the United States are mostly governmen

I agree. We centrally plan the police, water, electricity, and roads. Health care should be no different.

I've seen people mention that caching is broken since it only works when the name and version are the same; however, I don't see how this is any different than two packages of the same functionality being uploaded to an APT repo w

Why can't all these frameworks just be cached? If a cross site request to cdn.com/react-v1.0.js is cached under cdn.com, at most one download will trigger. That seems to solve the problem, but maybe I'm missing something.

He's being sarcastic. Links are literal web links and the Company he's referring to is Google.

He's asserting the article might be false, not that it is false.

Ah so these circuits are useful because if you're trying to construct cell organelles you need to be able to trigger release different proteins at different stages of development? Is any of that protein folding stuff useful for this?

What exactly does it mean when one of these "circuits" "responds to conditions"?
