That’s a myth. Blocksize limit increase was rejected by all parties relevant to bitcoin: miners, developers, users, and merchants. Blockstream has no control over bitcoin protocol. They built a product on top of it and there isn’t anything

It’s far too everything . Too low level, too high level, bad abstractions, bad syntactic constructs, bad evaluation model. The more I see people burning themselves on “smart contracts” the more I realize how deeply thought through bitcoin’

Just EDN would be good start. When more dynamism is needed - it’s already a Clojure subset.

The issue is not with long term effects, it’s that the impact itself wipes out human race entirely.

Your argument is severely undermined by the fact that mars is already fucked up and we need to employ lots of tech to fix it. We can then use that tech to solve some of the issues on earth.

And they don’t have the same security properties as bitcoin does.

You are confused. If you try spending bitcoin cash on bitcoin network you will fail, because bitcoin cash utxos are not bitcoin utxos and bitcoin cash is not bitcoin. There are no additional 42 mil bitcoin, there are additional 42 mil of so

Fork of bitcoin is not bitcoin. Only 21 million bitcoin will ever exist and that’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whether that 21 million bitcoin branch will remain the dominant in terms of use and hashpower is under question, but there will o

They already do. And the difference is in economic, social and political situation in US and China. Nobody should experience worse working conditions than anybody else, but short of economic embargo on China by entire world, I doubt anyth

If Apple does 1:100 split and their shares will have new price of $3.89, will that somehow make Apple stock more volatile?

by keymone 6y ago
What do you mean? The specific price per share doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a number calculated from value of the company and number of shares.

So why is it called binary if it’s not binary?

They are still very competitive with A320 and A350. I hope A380 will get revived eventually, best passenger jet experience on the market right now.

carbs weren't very common: wheat, rice and potatoes literally didn't exist, fruit were nothing like they are today (probably 5% carb content). all those frutarian theories are just crazy. animals (fat and protein), on the other ha

Point you’re missing is that glucose that is required can be produced by our body , so there is zero need for glucose or simple carbs (and arguably any carbs) in out diet. So keto is very much the primary system, breaking down carbs is act

When keto person says “carbs” they actually mean “simple carbs”. Fiber is absolutely ok on keto.

JVM is not to blame here, it's Clojure that takes a while to load and initialize. Java actually crushes Python in every aspect in terms of performance (which is to be expected of statically typed language).

Hashrate determines the difficulty to attack, aka security. Security influences the price.

As i said from the very beginning - there is more than one way to do it. I'm not trying to convince you. Do whatever you're comfortable with.

You only think it needs to be this cohesive thing with types and global definitions and conventions because that’s the current way to approach software development. There is more than one way to do it. In your code a library is completely e

Not really, because you ship every required version of every function. Functions aren’t incompatible with functions they don’t use.

The holy grail of package management is absence of packages and versions, but distribution via signature-addressable code. In the end it’s all just functions that take arguments and return values. They should be the minimal unit of distribu
