I agree in part and disagree in part. First, when the network space is growing exponentially, the value of preexisting work is decaying exponentially. I do grant you that completed work is nonzero in value, but during a growth phase its val

So, to be clear about what's happening here, you only need an SSD for fast plotting in Chia. So it sounds like they are plotting to fill up HDDs, then reselling the SSDs to hedge against the possibility that the coin's value is no

Or they're already making money from the pirates. Case in point, some streaming services don't support linux and some Android devices because of Widevine DRM problems. So it creates the perverse situation in which (expensively) pa

Something doesn't line up here. The "old" model number in the ars piece is given as MZVLB1T0HBLR, which corresponds to a PM981a according to Samsung's website. Was that ever sold as a 970 Evo Plus? https://www

That's rational, but the point he's making is that this system obliterates the only defense we have had or could have against such activity: end-to-end encryption. This approach owns the endpoint.

Fileting someone's argument is not a positive goal. It's an egotistical one. Finding truth is a good goal. That seems to be what is praiseworthy here.

I suspect that many recently posted articles appear to be upvoted heavily because they externalize the blame for emissions. This feels a lot like a bargaining phase, in which we are grasping at the notion that the impending sacrifice should

Can you kindly edit your comment to remove the accusation that people worried about nuclear power don't believe in the severity of climate change? These people are just looking at a different risk assessment.

I found this bizarre as well, but I didn't delve deeper than the abstract. The senior author is a sociologist.

Not where I live. Is your request simply not to be seen as selfish while making a selfish argument?

Oh, and the government could deal all the heroin and guns it seizes too. What could possibly be wrong with that idea?

Dogecoin, on the other hand, has a static issue rate in the reward schedule. I believe it was totally accidental and not at all by design, but it is plausible that it will reach an equilibrium with coin loss in the next few years.

Article 19 of the First Geneva Convention covers all medical units, not just the Red Cross. It is just as illegal to target an enemy medic as it is to target a Red Cross medic. Both are war crimes.
