I wonder, will any anchor have qualms of conscious or give push back in the future. Is it not obvious to them, that their teleprompter tells them to speak hearsay as if it were fact? Or are they so insulated from this that they never give i

Very true and for different terms we all are on battlefields waging a war that we mostly are not even aware we're in. As part of the mob, we just steadily walk over the minority who coined the term and plow them ever deeper into the mu

If a term is overloaded, and if the purpose of language is to communicate, then I think the better approach is to drop the term as a lost cause and switch to alternatives for both uses, rather than fight and endless battle. For the two mean

I don't know enough to judge the root cause. My ideological priors would make me look to blame the government granted monopoly patents on the display tech.

Considering how long ago the OLPC project was, hopefully the patents are running out soon.

Please be aware that "market failure" is also a technical term in economics, relating to positive and negative externalities. Your use appears to be the (by now probably dominant) colloquial use. I personally would not use this te

Wrt. your second question: Supply of Bitcoin is pretty much constant, regardless of energy expended, regardless of mining technology. The causation runs like this: demand -> price -> mining. Less demand, lower price, less mining. More

Request: Zoom with Ctrl+Scroll. I imagine this might be quite useful to understand data-flow, but I worry that it would be tedious to manage the connections via positions during development. It would be cool to have an auto-format/auto

I think it would be very useful if there were a way to box other boxes, possibly designating specifc ones as the input/outputs of the big box. Bonus: if you collapse a box, it becomes a black box.

It answers it, in the sense that it acknowledges that the question remains to be answered.

As I say, this is a foundational issue that every blockchain project should address. Before I asked my initial question, I searched the documentation to see if it had been addressed. Such answers might be a second layer story, or some form

I'm pointing to the foundational problem that led to the Big vs Small block debate in the context of Bitcoin and which is the argument for second layer networks. Presumably you've come across this question in your four years of de

I was thinking more along the lines of storage requirements. How much space would be consumed on a full node by a network running at constant 1000 tx/sec?

Can you talk about scaling issues. What are your projections for the size of the MobileCoin blockchain, assuming it is successful and people want to do >1000 transactions/second.

It has only been in recent years that I have even been able to articulate what the issues are with the code of some junior developers. I was fortunate to find "Semantic Compression" by Casey Muratori and now I have something I can

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Today I develop mostly on Chrome, but I don't dread testing for compatibility on Firefox or Safari. The standardization is quite good across vendors. Add to that, back then Microsoft ha

Considering how much I `pip install garbage`, this is perhaps not so critical for me.

A service is a bundle of code and resources. Where possible, unbundle code and resources. Wherever you can provide the resources externally, you can now reuse the code. Let's write a manifesto.

In terms of priorities, is it fair to say that the main issue here is word spacing? I don't see much difference with the kerning to be honest. For letter spacing, is there any level at which it would be too little?

Yes, it is a good idea to avoid the use of terms, that carry with them an implication that the listener is a bad person. I feel like this is a breakthrough in how we communicate.

Do the Arizona prisons get more money, the more prisoners they have and the longer they have them? Were these same prisons responsible for the procurement of this software? Is the software perhaps working as intended?

Debt is a promise. A promise you make is based on expectations about the future, including promises that others have made to you. The more promises we make to each other, the more likely we are to be in a chain where somebody cannot keep th
