Cool concept, but the UI is terrible on desktop.

How is it a bubble? The fundamentals seem strong: - the state prints money and gives it to the rich - the rich hire propaganda - the poor believe it and work - strong and stable

You use bias as a dirty word, but it's really just a weight of the opinion, there is no knowledge without bias. As for consistency, it comes secondary to categorization, it's easily abused for 'foolish' consistencies tha

synthetic (or alghoritmic) stable coins achieve stability without a third party

Which one? I hope Tether nukes so we can all switch to synthetic stable coins.

That's not really the concept of rationality I or the article is talking about (consistency, non-bias etc.) knowledge or it's use isn't the same, it's more like the a priori knowledge where the concept is immediately app

Ah yes, in the long run it's all rational, but in the long run we're also all dead. Even if that were the case, you are not a star, you are not near equilibrium, you are alive and don't have time to play long term rational ga

It doesn't mean that at all, its but that real world is not made for rationallity, and even if we have created special contexts where it is, it doesn't mean it can be generalized out of them.

I meant that critics will give twice as much as they first intended before they were prevented by this apalling breach of Ethics. Technically correct because that's almost certainly zero. It's never a smart move to cave in to twit

I'm sure now everyone that was so ethically repulsed by the crimes of crypto will donate twice as much.

nice, I was just reading https://blog.zkga.me/announcing-darkforest where they use zkSNARKs for a fog of war game mechanics

Really? You don't think there might be something more to currencies than a bit in someone's DB? You're confusing representation for the thing.

by nathias 5y ago
Visa isn't a currency, you could compare it to a payment provider on the BTC chain not to BTC itself. The $ is a better equivalent, it requires a military, thousands of banks, people flying private jets to organize etc.

I don't know how anyone could make the "it's bad for environment" argument in good faith. It's green compared to the alternatives and has less hidden externalities.

How? If you're mining is profitable you're getting paid to be heated.

if they only knew it's really good for heating ...

Yea, but that's kind of my point. Actually decentralized software is just out there and you can use it if you find a use case for yourself, there is no one that would shut it down if it isn't popular enough.

federated systems are bad, they combine the negatives of centralized and decentralized systems it is no wonder that they fail repeatedly

we kind of are, because dark patterns get into regulation and become part of law

Cool article, virtual worlds have a way of spontaneously create very interesting enviroments like housing markets an currencies. But I don't agree with much of it, the scarcity isn't (necessarily) artificial. If you don't hav
