The amount of people “voting” seems to be less important than the amount at stake, as if it was a large stake proved incorrectly somebody may come in and fix that. $1.2m trades in 1 market with $800k open interest isn’t that bad.

What if it is a trustless Oracle? Augur kind of tries to be this, and appears to do well within a limited scope.

They also had very dodgy BTC practices from memory but I can't remember specifics.

It kept fooling them in 2014 as well.

I'd say there is at least some correlation. Not a great indicator, but better than nothing and helpful since it is in the user agent. They aren't curing cancer, so accuracy is less important.

Maybe if you transparently advertise the success rate it would neutralise since hiring incompetent bosses would result in less sign-ups. That said, not sure you could accurately verify that number.

It really should be disclosed when purchasing.

We can design to constrain the worst parts of human nature and thereby make us better humans.

Hence medium of exchange, not so much store of wealth.

The forking also seems to have had some unintended consequences of changing the use of hash power such that the main chain is more vulnerable.

The problem is that the old successful technology is being thrown out for broken technology anyway. Blockchain voting might be a way to prevent “them” implementing that awful stuff.

You are ignoring the spacetime part of the universe, which in definitions of the universe being finite or not, is probably far more relevant than the mass.

The context isn't relevant when I'm correcting a fact, at least as we/I currently understand it - the universe is infinite. I'm wasn't making a statement about dark energy, or life.

I didn't make any claim about life. I just wanted to challenge the statement about the universe being finite. I also agree with the other commenter that I'm not sure we can even be sure the mass is finite, but also happy to be enl

The universe and the observable universe are different things. As far as we can measure, the universe appears to be flat (by measuring the observable universe). With finite mass, but expanding space, how is it not infinite?

No, my $10 is divided across all plays. So big name artists with lots of streams get my money. Particularly badly in the months when I only listen to a few songs because I listen to podcasts.

This is the crux of the fairness debate here. The numbers don't seem absurdly bad, but if I was buying CD's - none of my dollars would go towards Rihanna and a good portion would go to obscure bands. Currently, this is the opposit

Nothing you have said is untrue, they were just a little misleading with timelines on day one. I'm also a day one reservation holder (in Australia so timelines were different). They never lied, but the have stretched the truth with the

They weren't really upfront about this when they were taking preorders in 2016. And I say this as a Model 3 reservation holder, Model S owner and TSLA shareholder.

I really hope the media holds them to their $23k claim as hard as they hold Tesla to $35k.
