Sorry to sound a bit snarky, but you have a sample size of 1 as evidence. It seems there's a lot of opposition to this EIP so I wouldn't count on it being accepted.
932.
by davesque 9y ago
It sounds almost like you're assuming that, just because there's an EIP, it's already set in stone and will definitely happen. It seems to me like there's a majority of opposition to this. And is it really that surprisin

The Ethereum VM accepts opcodes like any other modern computing platform. There's a lot of work going into formal verification of contract code. There's nothing in principle that prevents compilation of smart contracts into VM cod

Yeah but climate change. That wasn't really an issue in the 80s. Now we all have to face that fact every day. And don't tell me there's always going to be something. Climate change is different. Not even remotely like anythin

I'm a bit surprised at all the negative reactions I'm seeing here in response to this. This really seems like a win for individual rights which the tech community is normally all about. As I see it, the heart of the matter is tha

I disagree. This right was a natural guarantee until the internet became ubiquitous about 20 years ago. Human society evolved for a long time under the assumption that people are free to think out loud a bit or even openly express anger on

Mkay. I see my confusion. You need something like a fluid and also in a non-inertial reference frame which is under some force of gravity or acceleration. I guess a supermassive black hole such as Sagittarius A (assuming it exists) could

As I see it, the simple answer is just social status and, by proxy, social opportunity. People who are into cycling often place a ton of importance on how good of an athlete someone is. When I worked in the industry, I routinely saw peopl

Isn't that the entire point of the Right to be Forgotten? To say that there is such a right is to say that it's incorrect to expect that you could know a person's "true nature" just by seeing what they happened to

Interesting. Can you provide any more details? Obviously the force of gravity exists in space. So what's a better way to describe the difference?

by davesque 9y ago
Yeah so would I. Actually, I've often thought there should not be a restriction on the window during which you're allowed to delete a post on this site. I understand that there are reasons they might not want that such as to encou

Pretty interesting. I worked in the athletics (cycling) industry for around 5 years and I always suspected that there's a lot of doping among amateur athletes. From what I understand, it's most common in amateur cycling among mast

I'm sure this is an oversimplified view, but doesn't it seem like, because black holes are more dense, they'd naturally tend to fall toward and gather around the center of the galaxy? Sort of like how more dense objects tend

Wrong attitude. It seems that, at this time in history, we have more tools at our disposal than ever before to avoid war. We have more capacity to organize and communicate now. Why should we continue to just assume that war is inevitable? I

What trend in the comments is bothering you? It's a little unclear from your comment.

Isn't it reaching to see a picture of a bicycle near a sign and then conclude that the accident must have happened exactly next to or near the sign? Maybe the police/witnesses dragged the bicycle to that location?

Indeed. Black bar, please. He was a living symbol of the promise of science.

You don't have to speculate. They admit having financial interests in the actual text of their report.

Bach is one of my favorite composers if not my most favorite. However, as someone with a formal education in Western classical, it's always bothered me how heroic figures are worshipped in the tradition, often while ignoring other grea

Indian classical is for sure cool and does a lot of interesting stuff rhythmically speaking. Also lots of interesting instruments and corresponding techniques for playing them. But I don't think it's necessarily any more versatile

Alright, then let me spell it out for you: aiding in the development of A.I. enabled drones is evil. This is the slipperiest slope I can imagine and they're already taking the first steps. Where does this all end? We have Facebook and

I guess my main point was what you're saying: exercise will not cure depression. I think it's a behavior of people who are struggling with depression to constantly seek out a single answer to their problems. In that sense, I beli

It creeps me out to no end that Kim Jong Un is trying to act friendly with South Korea. It seems incredibly unlikely that he has any intention of lightening up the repressive behaviors of his regime in pursuing a dialog with them.
