I'm sure you know this already but to clarify - Svelte isn't going anywhere and you can still very much use it without SvelteKit Curious though, what are the problems you see with SvelteKit? It can always be improved!

No, Svelte stores don’t use effector under the hood, they’re most definitely hand written and aren’t using any dependencies at all.

It's definitely strange. Binance did $40 billion in volume in the last 24 hours. Even if their effective fee is only 1/100 of a percent that's $4 million. If we assume they do half that volume every day on average that's

I wonder if people around here know that Vitalik tried scamming people with a "quantum computer simulation mining" thing back in 2013? Amazing that more people aren't more vary of him. 1. https://medium.com/bi

You can absolutely make reusable reactive logic in Svelte, custom stores work great for this. The problem with "useX" isn't an anti-react one, it's that "use" is an actual thing in Svelte, it's called an a

There’s a very complex open source low code project called Budibase that you can look at: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

It creates risk and slows things down because you can’t trust your counterparties

Not sure about M1, but on the Macbook Pro 14" with an M1 Max using 8 threads I transcribed a 44 minute podcast in 16 minutes. So about 3x "real time" speed.

They don’t. Common problem when discussing electricity and energy unfortunately :/

Are you insinuating folks in the developing world are incapable of understanding and handling their own keys? Wow.

Sure, so we just move the cost to someone else effectively? Seems unfair and unnecessary when they can just mine bitcoin instead.

A tax would result in a cost for the business. Bitcoin mining results in a profit. Why would you pick the first one? Transporting miners is not the hard part, you just keep them in containers. What is hard is building the necessary stuff to

Yeah, let's use laws instead of something that makes monetary sense...? It's not a gas field, it's a land fill.

That's not a source. I literally posted a source showing you it's very cheap. The minimum fee is the lowest fee you'll pay to get into the next block. I used Bitcoin way back in 2010. Though I don't understand why that m

No, I've never claimed that. Regardless of what you think about Bitcoin, if it's useless or not, don't you agree that net negative is better than zero? Burning methane (flaring) is most definitely an improvement over not doin

Is everyone in India banked? How do you transfer money outside of the India? Can you do that insta fly with UPI as well? There are more countries than India, I’d suggest maybe taking a look at South America, Africa and Asia.

I'm sure that's the case for some of the landfills, but definitely not all of them. In the US 70% of the methane from landfills is vented, rather than flared. That means that for some reason, either it's too expensive to do o

You need to start backing up your statements with facts. Please show us that bitcoin fees are "often not" cheap at all. Here's some actual data you can look at: https://mempool.space/graphs/mining/bl

I don't believe it's saying either. It's saying that the trend is towards net zero emission and that this will happen by the end of 2024. After that I would assume we go into the negatives and improve the current situation. &

No, this is not wrong. You can't magically just "use it for something else". That's not how this works. You need to generate electricity where it is needed (or transport it, which costs money). If there are landfills out

On top of being hard to argue against, it just isn't true. It's a net positive for the environment, at least it will be in a couple of years: https://batcoinz.com/50-landfills-mining-bitcoin-a-zero-emis...

Are you sure you can charge back that bank transfer? In theory sure, but in practice?

With Bitcoin: Costs $0.4 per transaction. Zero paperwork. Takes several minutes.

Not everyone has this privilege. In fact, most people in the world can't do what you're doing. For them it is immensely hard in comparison.

Yes. Bitcoin - It's cheaper, faster, simpler and more reliable. It's not just faster on the front end. It settles pretty much instantly on the back end as well, so no counter party risk like in the case of using banks.
