Theoretically, it's not all. It's possible to have a reasonable cryptocurrency backed by something tangible. In practice, all I saw so far was either pure fraud (USDT) or fiat currency (BTC). I'm a free-market capitalist&#x2F

Good luck dumping that much shitcoins overnight. Also, they could always accept without endorsing. Enough of wasting energy and human effort on shitcoins...

Decentralizing it would be far more simple if they provided something such as an application you could download and partially mirror some parts of it, for example. Eventually, given enough interest, they'd mirror everything. Maybe they

Sad when even the Internet Archive fall for the digital tulip mania. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania Crypto currencies might have space and maybe someday a good one might appear, but so far, it's all a P

Fiat currency is money that isn't backed by something, such as gold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_value_(numismatics)

It's trivial. Just say any is pure speculation of thin air and you'll be right. There's no sense in the currently existing crypto currencies. They're all fiat money. Peter Schiff was right back then... https:/&#x2F

Unfortunately many people here have a bad attitude thinking they know everything. His point is completely valid. I myself always disliked this kinda recently use of environment variables for configuration – that likely has the 12-factor met

Why the trolling? He has valid points. It doesn't matter whether he knows about this methodology or not. Does everything looks like a nail to you?

Geez... I bought masks in the street market here in Rotterdam (Netherlands), and now I'm worried. Thankfully, I only wear them a few minutes a day, when I go to public closed spaces.

NFT is just a joke went too far. I'm starting to consider creating a NFT to sell NFTs of NFTs emitted elsewhere. Or one for people who doesn't "own an asset" to sell it.

Awful! I didn't know about this extension, but love the idea! I'm not too much into using extensions, but this is definitely a positive one. I hope you get this reverted.

Economics is key to social engineering. Many concepts and core ideas of different schools of thought are completely loved and sponsored by actors interested in an agenda (say, maintaining their status quo or inflation https://wtf

Where they ever responsible for .io too? I hate how I paid for o1.io and their system failed on me. Poorly designed system, and they ignored my attempts to get support. Many weeks later they reverted my transaction with PayPal and eventuall

For you the problem is the very fact you're able to pass values through context transparently or that some people abuse it passing all sort of data that should be passed in better ways?

Not necessarily. You've to analyze where your wealth goes to and where does the money goes to. Even if you're one of the ones who benefit from 'getting the money first' (like, if you mortgaged a house with low interest r

What you say doesn't make any sense. For someone poor with $50 of savings, if they lose $5 it might not seem much to you, but it might be to them. It actually is a lot of money if you're considering someone really poor, especially

You definitely have no idea about what you're talking about when you say that 20% inflation should be trivially handled.

Only if you consider the poorest living in a mortgaged house that costs $800,000 with $720,000 left to pay while making $120,000 a year. This is not valid for the poor people making $15,000 a year with $600 in their bank account. These peop

The fact that you are demanding him to mention debt shows you've a short-sighted view of the world, seeing only what happens close to home from what appears to be a privileged point-of-view. Not everyone in the world has easy access to

I can't believe you were downvoted for saying the truth. It's sad engineers making even $200,000 or more can't understand how even $100-1000 in the bank can change lives forever for many people in poor countries. It's ev

Inflation hits hardest the poorer who doesn't have diversified savings or their wealth in properties, stocks, or anything else that is likely to at least hold value. Inflation basically steals wealth from everyone – especially the poor

Oh, so what about having spaces in your function names too, if you like spaces this much?

by henvic 6y ago
Why do some people use spaces when writing Table Driven Tests with Go? It makes it harder to run go test -run=TestName because you have to convert manually all " " to "_" and back. This is at least a great reason why thi
