Exactly. People that say that the value of fiat money is fake, never think about taxes. You want to own a house? The government mandates that you acquire and give them a certain amount of US dollars. Even if you did every single transaction

If you don't want distributed consensus, don't use a distributed consensus algorithm. Raft/paxos is not the best fit for every problem, but for problems where you NEED to ensure consistency, it is the best tool for the job. A

Back when Microsoft used to adopt interoperable standards and make modifications to it to kill the standard, people here rightfully called that behaviour evil. Apple get's a pass for doing the same for SMS.

I never mentioned any political parties, but ideology. The social order was slavery and racism, and people that wanted to conserve it were conservatives.

1930s consertatives in many places in the world were literally the original fascists. The ones in the US might not have been, but they were probably too busy forming the second Ku Klux Klan and trying to whitewash the Confederacy.

What if we gave it a robot body, with cameras and sensors? What if we made this robot body with biotechnology, so the only eletronic parts were the brain? And we didn't tell it that it was a robot. Will you be the one that will go tell

You know, people elsewhere in this thread are asking for compassion. It's not enough to just show compassion to those that lost. Their money didn't get destroyed, they traded it for something they didn't understand, based on

Did new wealth get created? Cryptocoins are a negative sum game (trading is zero sum, but since mining wastes resources, total has to be negative). For you to have gained this wealth, a group of people have to have lost this wealth, they mi

- Have transaction fees as high as $60 - $250+ if you factor in block reward. This goes so far outside the original vision, that makes me wonder if current believers in crypto even read the paper. Satoshi's vision was that existing way

I suggest for you Outer Wilds. It's an exploration game, with a cool mechanic that I won't spoil and a story that is just great, never had a game experience quite like it.

I think with CRDT's you wouldn't just have an integer type. You would have to choose your int type acording to the operations you would want done for it. So it could be declared as a "register" crdt, in which case the se

Yes, this attack had multiple stages. First stage is to get something running, and to do that they do use a memory bug that Rust would prevent. The second stage is the sandbox escape that the post describes which is done with only logic bug
