Right, but it puts a lie to many of the theories that involve mortality being an inevitable result of biological chemistry -- e.g. that cells can only divide so many times before they MUST die. The reality is that for just about every aging

The FBI wouldn't want to be involved either. What high-level bureaucrat wants to defend themselves in front of a congressional investigation about why they spent taxpayer dollars keeping marriage infidelities private instead of X, fora

You don't leave that one hanging. What's the story? Care to share?

Yes. Not among engineers, of course, but among the general population? Yes.

Japanese and Koreans are basically the same people, genetically and linguistically. At least among the consensus of non Japanese researchers. Japanese uniqueness infects the humanities as well...

Body temp is a range and everyone is different and there is no discernable difference between Japanese and non-japanese on average.

No, because it's mostly a musing from me, although something I've been thinking about for a long time. I mention it mostly in the unlikely hope that someone runs with it and implements it, cause it'd be something I'd lov

I read your first sentence and was about to respond with a link to Goertzel's paper ;) As far as I know, no one else has worked on this (and at this point it's mostly a brain-fart idea from Goertzel). This is a personal area of in

Gavin does not lead bitcoin. This is a simple fact. I am simply doing fact corrections.

Doesn't matter what miners do.

I am not and I don't know anyone at Blockstream who is. Care to back that up with a link?

Care to point to what Gavin has worked on in that time frame? There are very few changes that Gavin has contributed back to Bitcoin Core since he handed most of the day-to-day repo management over the Wladimir. I honestly don't know wh

Neither Blockstream nor any of the core developers have affiliation with r/bitcoin, bitcointalk, or bitcoin.org. By design, mind you, for the purpose of ensuring decentralization. I may have the book badge on the subreddit, but I'

IBLT is basically already implemented and deployed as part of TheBlueMatt's relay network. Improvements to scaling isn't going to come from IBLT.

Everyone is in favor of increasing the block size at some point. One side is simply being more conservative / less reckless and trying to make sure that the right proposal is accepted, rather than the first implemented. They are organi

> Two developers, nullc and pieter are against increasing the blocksize at a reasonable rate. Careful, what is "reasonable" is what is at issue here. There are legitimate arguments being made on both sides.

Mike was never really involved in Bitcoin Core, and Gavin stepped down 2 years ago.

Nothing. The genius behind Bitcoin is that it doesn't stand or fall on one person's opinion.
