Why does it need to be decentralized? That's you shoehorning crypto-anarchism into the equation. I am fine with a centralized currency, just as I am with a centralized group of people making critical decisions for the country (governme

AC has a real world use of cooling down a house; Bitcoin doesn't. That is a horrible comparison. TikTok or Youtube videos might be more akin, but even then people are creating content which others are willing to consume. BTC is literal

Nothing to disagree with there-- but in terms of what's actually possible with animation / 3d graphics, this looks like it was done in paint (and I'm questioning why anyone would pay money for that standard of work)

I hate to be that guy, but there is a massive difference between a game like Factorio and a game like Cyberpunk. Of course we all know that, but it has an impact on the quality, etc. The technical complexity of CP requires many different te

Coming also from a SE/Practical background, the only time I need to use those complex expression in a SQL query, is when someone screwed up the datamodel, or over-engineered it. In theory you can do many things with SQL, but none of th

How would you know that they haven't done illegal things, without actually looking up if they did? I think gaining insights into that blackbox is what they are after, and see if what happens in that blackbox is illegal.

Excuse me, do you have any idea how power grids work? You can't selectively choose where the power comes from, its one entire grid, fed by many different sources. Remote dams, coal fired plants, nuclear reactors, all feed into the same

Uber didn't only become big because of the success in the US. When they scaled their operations, they had enough capital to disregard local laws (Berlin comes to mind), where they simply paid the fines with the capital it had raised, a

Microsoft had a rare chance to stand up for developers? By what, tackling the DMCA head on by defending a tool which is _clearly_ against the provisions of it? I can get behind them standing up when its an issue thats actually debatable, bu

Strange, I run windows 10 and I never see ads, and I've never used the windows store either. We all know you're exaggerating massively with the spying as well, but hey, MS Haters will be haters.
