I believe written letters actually weren't much of a thing back in 1000 BC. However, there was still real-time in-person communication, which can certainly lead to heated arguments no matter what year you live in. It seemed to have no

My understanding is this would make it illegal to not put your real address there. You can willingly break the law, but that'll create other issues for you.

(The post, for anyone curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28879240 ) Yeah, it's very similar in a lot of ways.

They aren't. You're trading one non-fungible thing for a different non-fungible thing. Alternatively, a game could also offer SFTs (semi-fungible tokens, as described in ERC-1155 [1]), in which case players could trade multiple id

Same with "SOC monkeys". (Which carries the additional pun of sounding like the "sock monkey" toy.)

There was an article on here not too long ago that made a rather salient point that "even if you're paying, you might still be the product". If you're not paying, the only way they'll make money is off of you, but t

Yeah, what the parent described is more like "reverse engineering". But reverse engineering can help you improve at engineering, and vice versa.

Yeah, that's true. I don't think they meet the "actually neutral" criteria, but they do try to be.

I'm sure there are many people who share the mentality you describe, but I don't think it applies to most core developers of cryptocurrency protocols, and such developers also don't make more money the more expensive mining i

No, I think most people (as in, core developers) just want whatever can actually be relied upon. If there were a silver bullet consensus algorithm that was decentralized and secure and also far less wasteful/plutocratic, everyone would

Rational Wiki is one of the most unintentionally funny and ridiculous sites, given the name. It's probably one of the least reliable and credible sources of information on the internet due to the juxtaposition, a la DPRK's name. I

This answer confused me at first, because I initially thought you were trying to say non-fungible assets can be divided. At least in the case of non-fungible Ethereum tokens, it's the case that they both each can't be substituted

It'd be nice to have something like lab-grown unfertilized chicken (or other bird) eggs. Not the same as meat, but it's kind of close to the goal: a biological protein source that's completely unconscious and doesn't req

The fact that the galaxy is billions of years old is one part of what would lead me to think that such an immune system would destroy the entire planet, or at least kill all life on it, with the very first projectile/attack.

I think such an alien adversary would have been more than capable of wiping out humans long ago if they already had the capabilities to direct asteroids toward us. (And also travel the very vast distance to get to us.) I could maybe believe
