It’s not just absence of mentions of actions by other clandestine actors, it’s absence of even acknowledging what kind of world does cia operate in - everybody all the time is engaged in secret operations to advance their agenda. Everybody

Thanks, I giggled. When conspiracy theorists aren’t horrifying for the potential impact on lives of their victims, they are immensely entertaining. I bet most of the views on flat earther’s videos are just people looking for non artificial

Yes, markets can be wrong, but baselessly dismissing market data is plain dumb. Until market is shown wrong, the value that market assigns to something is at least some evidence of it’s true value. Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but univ

sure, if you could . but the value is in the eyes of the beholder. if the market genuinely believed that to be the case - PoW currencies wouldn't be worth anything, so far that isn't the case, so claiming that PoW is wasteful is

PoW has nothing to do with scaling and so PoS isn't a way to address it. if you're making this claim, i would suggest to reconsider your belief that "it's different because i understand the tech". PoW and PoS are al

zero electricity is wasted on PoW cryptocurrencies. energy consumption is equivalent to constant maintenance of security at the level demanded by market.

you're on to something here. what if i told you that the constant level of energy spent is the level of security bitcoin users demand by virtue of buying it at current price level? would you say constant provision of certain level of s

there already are cryptocurrencies claiming the same thing: iota, eos, tron and probably thousands more. so what's different this time? to me it seems ETH is always overpromise, always underdeliver kind of project. they promised global

So when Apple m1 goes toe to toe with top cpus you all scream “apples to oranges” but when it comes to INTEGRATED GPU ON 10WATTS OF POWER it suddenly makes total sense for you to compare it to 350watt dedicated products? Like.. what the h

I’ve got the exact opposite experience. Mesos is far more complex to run due to difficulty of developing a framework correctly. Kubernetes made the trade off to schedule centrally and that is probably the correct thing to do and definitely

I said off-chain. Look up lightning network.

by keymone 6y ago
It’s completely useless metric. One bitcoin transaction can represent a billion of off-chain exchanges. Energy is spent securing the chain, not executing transactions.

The attempts are not to save the planet, but to reduce our impact to ensure we don’t go extinct and don’t significantly damage the environment. Your use of adjective like “arrogant” just displays your bias and willingness to use the worst p

One of brain’s responsibilities is to model the environment, which means modeling all it’s parts. Since each brain is unique - those models are different and “personal”. Physical stimuli evoke some of those models and that’s what we call “b
