I think it's important because a lot of people still don't know what it entails. For example, you say "cancer" and everyone has an idea of what that is. As of the 2000s/2010s, awareness has been rising about mental

I do get this. I don't know why you'd assume I don't. And the sentiment behind your comment seems very reasonable, reading past its non-sequitur tone.

It's not reasonable to expect to be able to turn off "any part" of a piece of software, unless it's open source and you're digging through the code yourself to remove sections of it, refactor and re-compile everythi

Turn off what part and why? They announced several new systems, much of which runs on-device, one of which is simply an improved Siri. I was surprised by how considerate they seemed about AI data privacy, even for Apple.

In very simplified terms, "404" is just a number that's included in the "invisible" HTTP header of the web page you're visiting. Whether this number is "200" (success) or "404" (not found),

404 means the server cannot find the requested resource. In the case of a database, the "resource" is the database endpoint. So, 404 would be used in case the database endpoint does not exist at the URL you tried to access it at.

You're entitled to your opinion on that, I suppose. As someone who actually does understand most of the jargon (because it's what I do for a living), data availability sampling feels to me just as inherent to good blockchain desig

This is a highly technical article written by a protocol researcher to be read by other protocol researchers and implementers. I'm not really sure what level of jargon you expected. This article is akin to an aircraft architect writing

Sorry, but I thought you said in your last comment that you believe USDC will be outcompeted by a centralized solution. Do you believe that, or do you believe that there is not enough demand to justify the regulatory headache of launching a

I think a shared, "slow" database could be useful for property deeds. Give the state admin access to override the typical transfer process in case of theft, and then you're left with a 24/7 accessible public database of

The actual quote is "we are not *currently* at the point where we can be confident enough in the complex code of an optimistic or SNARK-based EVM verifier". The article seems to imply that "in the end", they will be.

Because transaction fees on blockchains run as an auction market, low-cost transactions are enabled by high transaction throughput, at least relative to demand. In other words, any chain that has high throughput and/or low demand will
