i wanted for you to help me figure out the classic "is a hotdog a sandwich?" but against my best judgement I visited the page first :)

The playing field is level only theoretically. Experience drafting and knowing really well the set you're drafting from are needed for anything more than just a friendly game.

Lol. For mtg 300$ is a couple of card sometimes :))

Question: Is Pokemon like MTG? From 10000 feet away only by looking at a few cards and maybe hearing people chat about it, sounds like games are similar. Are they?

by mirceal 4y ago
Yes. Yes, it's frustrating some times, but the cool thing is that if you play against an experienced played that deck is only gonna get you so far. Also, there are many archetypes and to get a deck that can be competitive against all

You are right. The problem is not solving the question, but solving it in 15 minutes with the optimal algo/data structure. Practicing can easily get you there. Also. In the grand scheme of things it's nothing compared to the job&#

leetcode is just a skill like any other skill. If you understand the data structures / algos behind it (which are mostly CS stuff you learn in college), given enough time, you should be able to solve the problems. It's okay if ins

Mtg is poker on hard mode. You don't know what the opponent's deck has in it or what combos you need to defend against. The game meta + competitive play are wildly entertaining.

by mirceal 4y ago
Why not both or a combination? MTG has elements from both chess and poker and it's surprisingly easy to learn but stupid hard to master. You also don't have to worry about sex ed :))

The point is: if I can tell to what to do when it comes to bitcoin I will eventually end up telling you all the things that you can and cannot do. > People have quantified it. About 0.55% of global energy consumption for almost no meanin

That's cool. Smoking is still around though and you can do it all day in your home using your resources. I don't mind people/regulators thinking/doing something if there is a though process and procedure that is establis

Ngl, lots of nuggets here. First, the argument about charger, oven, etc does not apply. If it's your house and you pay the bills you get yo decide then rules. Same goes for every home owner. > industry is using a large part of a fin

Why? Why is it about fair use? And more importantly: who gets to decide what fair use is?

Back on earth, a few lines in an ignore file would not make anyone blink. I guess you're a purist and everything about your software shines! Perfection.

Hmm. Definitely bad because you said so. Many, many, many impacts! Try quantifying it. This vs the carbon footprint of one individual.

My point is not about bitcoin mining. It's about the slippery slope of deciding that X is good and Y is bad. Everyone has a blast until something you want to do gets banned.

Getting tired of people on their high horses saving the environment by proposing to shut down bitcoin mining. Next time someone says something like this think about what would you think if someone suggested: you walk to the store instead of

Is this a problem though? I can see the upsides of ignoring the files in the shared gitignore. Are we trying to save space??

I think it's more like you have access to the cinema 24/7 and you pay by watching ads between movies.

by mirceal 4y ago
the point is that you cannot compare apples to oranges and the constraints around bitcoin are NOT the same constraints like the ones around a vending machine. (so that applying the same model is probably a flawed approach)

hmm... i'm not sure that's how it works. if i watch a movie in a cinema I will see it, right? I just take one more step and record my movie in the cinema so i can see it later. also, just because you can see/hear/taste&#

Emotions run on the same circuitry as thoughts / knowledge. I'm going to speculate that the same mechanism that works to consolidate memories is at work with emotions (and emotions are encoded in memories) The distinction between

In the future, we will all drink Gatorade and have a president wrestler. You see, I can also make stuff up. It may also happen! Saw a documentary about this already.

sorry, but what works for the printing press does not work for ebooks. If someone were to talk to you about the cost of printing and distributing books and how much X costs and depreciation over 10 years, you as an ebook seller would laugh

> bitcoin’s economics are fundamentally untethered from reality are they thought? What's untethered from reality is the understanding of how bitcoin work. Everyone wants to throw in 100$ and wake up to millions in 5 years. That just

there are multiple variables here. one is the cost of the hardware. 2000$ is not enough for latest generation ASIC miners. It just isn't. You want the latest generation ones. We are probably talking 10k+ for something decent. The secon
