I hope Facebook manages to launch Libra and that’ll be the final trigger for regulators to chime in, slap them on the wrist and break up all the giant corps. The degree to which they are invading our privacy and are greedy for power and con

reminds me of a little clojure macro i wrote to demonstrate "power" of macros in lisp: https://gist.github.com/keymone/d7725767dc0425a7bcf9 , obviously not feature-complete but sufficed for the demonstration

Why wouldn’t you prefer writing it directly in Clojure? (map #(* % 2) [1 2 3 4 5]) Even less boilerplate, even more signal/noise.

Did you forget large touchscreen, no physical buttons and no need for stylus? Of course other phones had browsers, they were just pain to use and iPhone was revolutionary device compared to even most feature rich flagship device. It’s an op

Also Tether is special case - it’s not unrelated altcoin, it’s supposedly stablecoin bound to BTC. “Supposedly” because no proper audit of tether assets and liabilities was done and there is little transparency. Counterargument is that if t

That’s like manipulating value of USD by printing more Euros. Sure it has effect because economies are interrelated by it can’t be sustained - Euro will be worth nothing eventually.

you don’t understand how bitcoin works if you have to ask this question.

yeah, you're right, i think i got confused by the last statement. it's not final yet where he's being extradited. greece's ruling party's flirting with russia in past couple years makes me quite skeptical and pessim

you're right, 51% represents a certain barrier when the attack becomes much more destructive, but it's still a spectrum. you can destroy faith in the system and value of bitcoin by performing multiple long reorgs with less than 51

Thanks, you’re right.

by keymone 7y ago
the amount of trivialization and conflation irks me 1. "51% attack" is not a thing as in "one has to have 51% of hashpower to perform it". it's just that with 51% of hashpower it becomes relatively cheap to perform

no, decreasing by 3 is `a - 3` decreasing by factor of 3 is `a / 3` or `a * 0.(3)` or `a * 33.(3)%` or `a - a * 66.6%` edit: math is hard!

yep. also, i think learning how clojure's dogmas synergize with each other is the determining factor in whether one is a clojurist for life or not.

Clojure being dogmatic is the reason I love it.
