Thanks for the reply. The idea of an all transactional web would be horrifying. I was curious about this: >"he reason crypto enthusiasts don't worry about the privacy implications is that it will still be possible to "buy

I apologize if this a naive question but Proof of work is also decentralized no? Why does Proof of Stake incur these scaling limitations but Proof of work does not?

Might you or someone else say what or where the bottlenecks are that prevent these from scaling?

That seems really practical actually. I will have try to look for some blog posts of people who have done. Thanks, cheers.

I'm curious if you would share the design question. I have seen these very contrived "study guides" with questions like "how to design drop box", "how to design FB newsfeed, etc" and they all seem to just

Thanks, do you know if you need to have existing freelance contracts before hand? I've looked at a couple of sites that discuss DAFT but it is not clear.

I see. Can I ask you how you went about relocating? Did you have a job lined up first or did you just decide you liked that city and figured it out after moving? Any advice?

What city are you in? I feel like I still see cars in the city but yes I agree it's much so less of a concern in the NL. Did you move there from a car-centric place?

I don't think so. The device I believe they are using is the same one as in France - the "medusa" technology by Bruitparif. This document shows the device picking up cafe noise vs construction vs street cleaning. There's

No. That is completely false. We are most certainly not in a recession. Nor did one start in November. You can check the Fed data here and verify you claim is false[1] The economy is considered to have entered into a recession if it experi

I think it equally affects quality of life during non-sleep hours though as well. The incessant horn honking, blaring music and the straight pipe folks actually make walking down the street unpleasant. The sad thing with the horn honking is

by bogomipz 4y ago
They serve a safety purpose. However for a car that is stopped in inner-city traffic, a horn serves very little purpose outside of people venting their frustration, anger and making things worse. In fact I would think these would be the eas

Why would someone have opted for for an adjustable rate mortgage that adjusts after 5-7 years when they could have locked in a historic low rate for 30 years?

I wasn't referring to financing it. Nobody in their right mind would do that. If you pay your bill in full at the end of month you don't incur those usury rates. Many people treat a credit card like cash.

Why not? If the amount you owe is within your spending limit why does it matter if it's credit vs debit?
