Sure, a law could state it's illegal, but that surely wouldn't shut him down.

So why are we still talking about PoW then? It seems you didn't get my point.

Burning coal is also not really nice for the environment, so maybe we should all stop using electricity? I hope you get my satire as well.

Here is a recent post on HN where the person requires crypto donations. If you have a better solution, please let us know. If not, then I guess crypto does have a use-case. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31996612

I once worked with someone who was also different in that sense. I'm not sure if he was autistic, but he had a hard time understanding or wanting to understand the business or functional part. His explanations were sometimes hard to un

This resembles a meeting I had in the past. The manager said we all had to work a little harder because the company was doing bad. He suggested to stay an extra hour every day. He then concluded with "Oh yeah, and Li is going to take o

It includes everything that you mention. I know people who constantly read books about finances, health, relationships, ... . They are broke, health is terrible, depressions, ... . If they would just apply what they read, it would be fine.

I would say doing without thinking is better than thinking without doing. I know plenty of successful people in the first group, and plenty of unsuccessful people in the second. But opinions might differ.

To become wise, life has to beat the shit out of you. That means you will have some battle scars, and encountered yourself a few times. Thinking alone won't get you there. That will turn you into an "Intellectual Yet Idiot",

I came here to say the exact same thing. Maybe people who do nothing and think all day assume they are wise, but it's the other way around. Experienced people are wise. Thinking alone just creates false assumptions in your head. It&#x2

For me it signals maturity. When it's a junior, I remember myself and think they still need to learn. When it's a senior, I know it's not a senior.

In C++ you have to manage your own memory. Why would you want to do that when you're simply pushing data around. I wouldn't choose VB myself, but when it's between VB and C++ for simple data pushing, I would indeed choose VB

I have a public roadmap, where people request new features all the time ( https://trello.com/b/5i4VvOW8 ). All of people's features are in there, but some might indeed never happen. When someone asks or requests, my

Well, joining NATO at this point seems like a wise decision, don't you agree? If you want to call it "NATO encroachment on Russia", why doesn't Russia attack NATO then? Why the hell would Ukraine join NATO? I thought Rus

I much rather want to talk to the person who reads books written by experts, than to talk to the person who watches the news every day. I'm sorry but there just isn't any comparison. Have you ever read news about something you are

Demographics. I define my audience as "creative teenagers" (I didn't pick them, they picked me). Roblox is mostly focused on the playing side, while I still focus on the making side. Maybe Minecraft is closer to my userbase.

Shameless plug: I feel a bit sad that my own project rpgplayground.com never makes it into these kinds of discussions. Although I have some hardcore fans, and I'm pretty happy with my community, there is something about my project that

My ex asking a divorce. It taught me some lessons (the hard way): - Nothing is yours, you only borrow things. Everything is temporary. - Focus on the things you do have. Your base level should be "nothing", not what you currently

I think this still sounds very negative, and what the author says is basically "It's not that the person is smart, it's that the followers are stupid". I don't agree with that. For me, it's about public demand

All of her classmates and close friends seem to say she is very intelligent. There is just a very strong sentiment (including yours) that she has to be stupid. She gave you and everybody else what you wanted. I was very relieved to find o

This article has the right facts, but the wrong conclusion. Shamelessness by itself won't take you anywhere. Take the Paris Hilton story for example. It was never about Paris, but always about the public. A certain perception of her ma

Can someone explain to me what all those 7500 employees are doing at twitter? Because I'm totally unimpressed by that. Whatsapp had 55 employees when it was sold, which sounds about right. But 7.5k for just pushing some data around? GT

Our educational system is not perfect, and is geared towards sitting still on a bench and cram in theory. I'm sure most people here had no problem with that. But there are also kids who get bored easily, who hate sitting still on a ben

The thing is, as a solo developer, you just have to be ruthless with cost/benefit. Either I give the same experience to maybe 2% of the users, or an overall improvement to 98%. Is it ideal? No. But a lot of things are about tradeoffs a
