Ok thanks for repeating those details of the GP comment. I have to agree with you that some facts in there are fundamentally wrong. The U.S. government can do things to restrict uses of USD but they aren’t _that_ arbitrary.

Fascinating explanation (though I’m already bullish BTC). No counters but a question: What’s stopping BTC lightning from being the rails you pay a buddy for a beer on?

My experience agrees with the GP, orobinson. I used to work at a company that wanted us to TDD everything. Everyone working there knew this from the time of interview, so it’s not like any of us were unwilling to give it a shot. When it ca

I don’t know about Cambodia, but Thailand offers a 10 year retirement visa. You need to be over 50 and show 10k in a bank account.

Isn’t that a free market at play? What would you suggest as an alternative?

Dilution can happen when investors put money into the company, increasing the value of shares. Does it matter if you own 1% of a million dollar valuation company? Or 0.1% of a 10 million dollar one? Separately, I haven’t seen an equity gran

As a former Starcraft 2 player I’d say: don’t count on it. It wasn’t even worth it for Blizzard to make SC2 that performant on Vulkan. They had a graphics option for it, but it was buggy compared to the OpenGL option. When a company that si

Do you remember a time when people were predicting this deep pocketed company Microsoft would bomb with their Xbox? It’s not a sure thing that Amazon could dislodge Steam, but there’s precedent.

There was a “Latency” multiplayer setting in Starcraft 1. I think it was there precisely to give players control over smoothness of network latency instead of graphics and processing latency. I think this just adds yet another example of yo

I didn’t downvote you, but I think Apple batching payments together would mean they didn’t “eat costs”. It sounds like batching could result in them turning a profit.

Seconded. It doesn’t take a team of PhD’s to run A/B testing on features and variations that improve lift. Tie performance bonuses to improved engagement and sales, and you can motivate many non doctorates to find novel ways to make t

I beg to differ about XMS. That particular technology may have only been relevant for a decade, but the idea of using a harder-to-access storage to supplement cheap-but-limited storage is everywhere. L1 and L2 cache, data warehouses, cloud

I have no idea why someone downvoted you. Keeping cards close to your chest in an exit interview seems like a strategic move. Sure, you can sugar coat and hint at things that can be improved, but why spell that out? It might clear things up

That particular example is less about protectionism, though I’d agree South Korea does that plenty. SK has laws against exporting map data, for reasons related to their saber rattling neighbor.

Not a miner but I’m curious. What should miners be doing differently?

I have, thank you for the suggestion. It’s not bad. I was hopeful going into it, but it just doesn’t do it for me to the same degree SC2 did. Main reasons: - Competitive games are a bit too long for me to watch. - Random map mode is a bit

I was a very active Starcraft 2 player up until the Blitzchung controversy in late 2019. For me, Starcraft was and has been the most engaging RTS made, both to watch and play. I still haven’t found a satisfying replacement. RTS as a genre i
