Its not a reality check its more akin to mindfulness meditation. Momento mori, a reminder that it is so easy to die of stupid things in this world. > I can imagine that it sends some people down the drain and incentivises violence. As f

True, but they exist in fewer numbers if you follow the male variability hypothesis. The argument is that there are not enough of them to model as their own group.

This rule reads as “don’t tell the target about our assumptions of them”. Isn’t that kind of the point of Signals post?

As you say your documentation is a part of the code review process. Getting your (I assume) PR through is an incentive. Totally agree with you otherwise.

Waymo is at the head of the pack. I think we will see full self driving limited to cities + highways this decade. ZOOX is another company I'm watching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoox_(company)

I agree with the sentiment, but what I never see discussed is what the benchmarks are for reaching the proclaimed “equality”. Often times it seems we are overshooting with attempts to create better societies - or worse shooting off in the w

So we don’t have plutocracy in the current fiat money system(s)? Relative inequality is super low and investment opportunities abound for all income levels? We don’t have a plutocracy in PoW coins like BTC either right? Super cheap and easy

Clearly we have different interpretations of the case studies. Walmart seems interested. But I guess its all just buzzwords and speculation! All these people wasting their time on something so obviously useless. You should let them know!!

A regular centralized company wouldn't want to necessarily use the ETH blockchain. They would use a private blockchain for internal auditing or supply chain partnerships, and would probably build it on something like HyperLedger https

The example I always give is “which is a better computer: your smartphone or a cloud server?” The answer is neither. There are tradeoffs for each.

There is not a visualizer as far as I am aware. PoS is not that much different in a generalized sense. Blocks are made up of transactions, and people/nodes propose blocks. Instead of miners, there are stakers. Instead of randomly seein

In some places they never did. Slowing the spread of a virus and dictating what people can trade with is an apples to orange comparison. This is not a good rebuttal.

Can you share how Bitcoin has a direct pollution cost? Last I checked BTC primarily uses excess electricity in the cheapest regions of the world. What if BTC only ran on solar power?
