May I forward some advice that was given to me and worked quite well? Firstly, don't worry about impostor syndrome. Given you're trying to be someone you're currently not, it's entirely normal. Secondly, and teaching a c

I don't think this is a particularly well argued piece but it covers a lot of the arguments for and against quite succinctly. I do agree with the underlying premise that UBI could easily end up being detrimental to the poor. I also agr

More specifically, it's as hopeless as voting in a planet-wide election. So until we have the latter, or a forum with enough authority to have the effect of the latter, voting isn't a valid comparison. Which is a shame as voting i

It applies to both. It's just the mechanisms for regulation and feedback are different. When you don't have a mechanism for regulation in government, such as democracy, you tend to get very bad government. That's not to sugge

Seem like a pretty good idea for when you want to listen to a translation. They're just not appropriate for conversations. Presumably the approach that the author has discovered is good for a conversation is still available?

That's a pretty low blow. You can't just answer a suggestion that the criminal system has some value with this. I didn't know the guy but I'm not sure that using his name to stifle debate is the best use of his legacy. W

I think you're making an assumption about lumens/watt that may or may not be valid. Who knows what a Light Emitting Daisy could achieve?

I didn't say they did. But those professions weren't attracting "girls who like girly stuff" either and now they are. So maybe we're not attracting them for similar reasons. And, fundamentally, what changed in those

It must be tricky moderating a subreddit when you're discussing adult content and one of the /u/'s shows evidence that they're about 12.

Which is ironic considering the high levels of trust required in actors in the BTC ecosystem.

I think the idea is that the contract just produces more coins on a schedule. As you can't arbitrarily start accounts (at least that's the thinking), it's the equivalent to the state handing you some money periodically. Minin

The validators idea to accelerate bootstrapping is a good one. And I think you're right; it be institutions like companies and banks that will provide the validation services. The issue is tying this to a non-fungible asset. The most o

Mostly they were using gold because it doesn't readily tarnish and it's relatively easy to work. Scarcity was necessary, for sure. But definitely not sufficient.

Of course they have an agenda. If you were to suggest that there is an agenda amongst the moneyed classes to keep corporate tax take low and restrictive regulation low then I would most heartily agree. There is overwhelming evidence that th

It’s so they don’t contaminate the sensitive instruments on the satellite. If it was about contaminating space they probably wouldn’t leave so much junk there.

My point is that, just because the futures are not directly linked to Bitcoin, they can still have a direct effect. And I'm not suggesting that they're listing futures in order to attack Bitcoin. I have no reason to believe that.

Yes and no. The (delightfully named) bitdiddle may have a point. Although the CME futures will be cash settled so Bitcoin will not be directly involved, it's not clear what would happen if there was evidence of price manipulation. Fo
