The most notable, destabilizing proclivity that Universities have been engaging in for recent decades (keep in mind many have been around for centuries ) is participating at all, and lo, converging towards in specific political action whic

The two are fundamentally different. PoS is less secure on a deeper level, you can accumulate stake with no barriers - cheap energy (and that’s just the first step) not so much.

An easily gameable strategy is promising benefits to new citizens, whether or not it makes sense to give those benefits or take on new citizens. You encourage the influx, and make the vote choice obvious. Is this happening? I don’t really k

This certainly won’t help collateralize those liabilities. Tangentially, and for the record, as someone passionate about crypto currency, this type of sunshine into much of what DeFi and tokenized businesses are is a relief. What’s popular

It was difficult to glean the perspective of the author, but the piece seemed to rely (at first) on understanding where the author comes from. Just a bit of feedback of structure. I do agree with the general sentiment - crypto communities a

Because spreading negativity is easy, and clearing it up is hard. Clearing it up is hard, but worth it, but Twitter’s structure makes that hard type of work even harder by having character limits and measuring value by popularity.

Yeah, if larger jurisdictions behaved as such the issues I described are easier to avoid. I don’t think the regulatory bodies have an attitude towards crypto that would enable that large scale attempt at control, but we can see how it’s pos

Now quell our concerns with the same rhetoricals but in the top 0.1% range, like for, say, Amazon.

Democratized AI will not explode, it will thrive as centralized services until the day real time AI is expected by consumers.

It’s a good conversation starter this one is, at least.

That’s an interesting take on things. Would you say this condition generalizes to other animals, or unique to ones above a certain level of intelligence?

The Righteous Mind by Jonathon Haidt opens with the moral, psychological explanation of this phenomenon: the brain judges first, and explains later. Often times the reasons do not make much sense. It is some sub-rational decision making pro

It seems like the bubble that’s been bursting for the last couple of years obvious to anyone paying attention is that microdosing is not equal to the sum of its doses. The studies which show inspiring results on hard problems like PTSD and

This is a strange place to end up; you make a convincing argument against the somewhat unsophisticated and very common capstone of digital privacy. But if you really want to be private online, there are always ways, if not existent, possibl

I’m for reinvention, and if thinking radically is what it takes to make the more typical and known processes evolve, so be it. I do have skepticism about a model liberated from the text file - most tools fall back heavily on our use of lang

If I could give myself advice as a younger programmer it would be to focus more on C or even lower level paradigms. Once you learn some Python and Javascript it’s no big issue to jump around, get rusty, or move to something else higher leve

I can’t say for sure but I vaguely recall reading complaints that some ARM CPUs are similarly flawed.

That’s an oxymoron.

When I was getting started programming what I really wanted was to learn C or Haskell. When it came down to actually making some basic programs, it was always easiest just to use Python for it. It’s a good language on top of being ‘easy,’ a

And what of the backdoor present in all consumer CPUs which intelligence agencies are exclusively allowed to purchase disabled? If you are making that argument, it seems like we’re already in quite dim a spot.

Maybe you’re just stuck in The Matrix. Not implying you should be alt right, but maybe stop thinking about everything in relationship to what you perceive as “alt-right,” which is a spurious term to begin with.

Didn’t read the article? They say at the end if this is how Eth manages a known consensus system, it reflects poorly on how they will implement a far more complicated and unexplored one.
