Yeah, it's synonymous with "freedom of criminals".

There are certainly similarities between blockchains and the mind. For example, drug addicts also waste an enormous amount of emotional energy.

Conspiracy, rofl? Also, he is not owned, he always wanted to serve to the "Big Brother", afaik. That's a mentality.

There is a market of secure microchips and it's evolving. Of course, there are no 100% secure solutions, but we're heading towards practical security. There are no full-proof solutions for anything in life. Even Bitcoin is not ful

In essence, a smart contract is just a server script that controls your wallet. It's public, i.e. the code is visible to everyone and you can't change it after publishing to the blockchain. The execution of this script also has so

They are run by humans who are seeking power over other humans. Easy.

You don't need PoW mining or any sophisticated consensus at all if you use tamper-proof hardware. Here is my proposal of using FIDO keys https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26214175

That's meaningless, you can just simulate the execution of a contract locally and get the key without spending anything. The power of smart contracts is very limited. The hype around them is based on a lot of lie, from the people that

The central planning will always produce better results, but only if you know the optimal strategy. Since it's impossible to know the optimal strategy a free market is a better solution in practice. Until a sufficiently strong AI arriv

It's worth to mention that there were Soviet attempts to build such systems, see OGAS [1] which was led by mathematician Victor Glushkov [2]. The remarkable fact is that those attempts have failed due to bureaucrats fighting for their

Cloudflare Workers have access to the key-value data store [1]. I believe this can be used to process forms (temporary). The free tier is enough for a small blog. [1] https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning&#

If only Julia had a fluent static compilation it would be in the top 10 of languages. It's too bad there are not so much investment into a really important stuff that will benefit the world. All the investment goes to bubbles and finan

Not so long time ago it was illegal to teach slaves. I guess the current social system is heading towards that stance again. History repeats itself.

That's a superiority complex. It can be seen especially well in Russia. I've read stories that their companies even start legal actions against white hackers that submit vulnerabilities to them.

It's good that he noted that this scheme is insecure against quantum computers. Anyway, homomorphic cryptography is a fascinating field with many cool applications. I'm sure the ideas will remain useful even in the quantum era.

True, but it's not a logical paradox. The fact that a system can't prove its own consistency doesn't imply that this system is inconsistent. The fact that Godel's theorems are provable only in such systems also doesn&#x2

It's ok to use logic to prove theorems in logic. We also use thinking to deduce some facts about our thinking. Self-reference is not always paradoxical. In a higher-order logic some self-referential definitions are legitimate.

Avoiding pain is a natural stimulus (it's why pain exists in the first place). Ignoring it is wrong, in general. I believe Stoicism teaches not to ignore pain, but to change our emotional response. To be more thoughtful and rational ab

Because HN is a centralized platform and its owner has a big stack in crypto. So such "regulation" is logical. Ironically, isn't it?

The math behind quantum mechanics, even though working nicely in practice, doesn't fully connected to the real world because the measurement problem has yet to be solved. I would say this reason is the main source of confusion.

> For Russians happiness and prosperity are not associated with the smile This is a very questionable claim. I think such association is true for humans in general and even for some mammals. Their culture just discourages happiness. Look

Can someone explain how private emails are used in prosecutions? If it's a blackmail or intimidation then a victim can supply all the necessary evidence. If it's an illegal trade then there should be traces in the real world. In w

Dictators never rule alone, even though they suck all the attention. They have supporters and enablers. For example, a pilot of that MiG-29 fighter jet could blow a passenger plane if ordered so. Their police killed and tortured people that

Waiting when those dictators with nuclear weapons will lose their mind completely can cost even more lives.

Silkroad, money laundering, tax evasion, exit scams, pump&dumps, crypto pyramids, ransomware – all this improves someone's day / process / life. Why don't you want to see the opportunities?

I don't see much logic in this wall of text. "Seek wealth, not money or status". What? To get wealth you need money to buy it. To get to the point B you have to pass the point A. That's why people are seeking money. Seco
