Work to live. Doesn’t matter if you make 10x, 100x, or even a 1000x more over a lifetime if you’re miserable doing that job.

The paper linked explains what the “perhaps” are. The website is seemingly trying to drive a narrative that blockchains are unnecessary.

The inability for users to police mods on reddit is becoming a serious problem in my opinion. An additional problem is that most mods enable the rapid development of echo chambers through often well intentioned rules that become draconian w

This is a really cynical and oversimplified take in my opinion. Our centralized financial systems have a lot of regulation for outsiders, but the rules selectively apply to those with power and capital. If the Panama Papers/FinCEN leak

Government is just the biggest “private” company, whose business is violence[0] - both the use and mitigation of it. Every citizen is a stakeholder. Foreigners are not invested, they are competition, both friendly and not. We vote at shareh

Middle men generally have negative impacts on society overall once they become entrenched. Their role becomes less service provider/facilitator and more parasitic. What’s preventing homeowners from buying and selling to each other dire

Its called a tradeoff. There is this obsession with speed and efficiency in computing. The tradeoff for a secure decentralized system anyone can use and audit is that its slow and inefficient. There are real benefits to adopting systems li

And the code was flawed, doing something that was unintended, therefore the law was flawed. This happens all the time in traditional written law. Legalese exists for this very reason.

No central authority within the system. Treating the hacked crypto as stolen property to report to a central authority who can use the threat of physical violence is not incongruent with the current defi system. Its a false dichotomy pres

You’re off base. The original definition was putting tax and KYC requirements on people who don’t have, and can’t get, that information. Network nodes facilitate transactions, they don’t broker them. Its like treating an exchanges electrici

Self driving hours having a lower incident rate than human drivers. That’s the minimum. Having a 99.9x% success rate (put as many 9s as you desire) is your qualifier and that’s a standard measure in operational uptime.

It could be a runtime hash of your data that the police database would already have. Why would that be a security risk?

Strawman, Mr. Luddite. I don’t want cash, a wallet, plastic cards, metal keys, or tons of slips of paper from receipts and all other kinds of bullshit. Putting it on the phone as a native app is hardly complex. Use QR codes, an officer won’

Not sure if this comment is sarcastic. Perfect determinism doesn't exist in the human condition. To embrace such invariance is to embrace the sterilization of art, culture, and our ability to adapt to the unpredictable.

This is not a great hill to die on, but I’ll bite a bit. If I fundamentally disagree with fast food as objects of consumption than I might think every job in this field should not be viable. There are costs to society (“externalities”) that

I believe these are referred to as formal theories and are sort of the root connections between philosophy/epistemology and maths.

This is my concern too. I skimmed the article and I guess its going to be something along the lines of locking certain sim modules behind a subscription like Autodesk/Fusion360? Happy to be wrong here.

You can’t quantity or even know “objective truth”. We can get really close for somethings, but knowing objective truth is akin to being a god. At the end of the day, everything is a model relying on some axioms. Inter subjective truth, howe

I prefer to look at it as crypto is exposing a market that wasn’t visible - companies need to invest in their security and 3rd party software needs to be better vetted.

Either you’re being intentionally obtuse or don’t know what Uniswap is. Decentralized, automatic trading that can route liquidity for direct asset swapping does not exist in traditional finance for retail investors.

This is called the oracle problem. The proposed solutions are in the same vein as security in base layer consensus mechanism: create an economic incentive to be accurate over time. Make sensors/sensor data compete to be designated as r
