It's immutable in the sense that you only need to check the node you are interested in to verify it's history hasn't been tampered with. That can be valuable. I'm well aware that someone could create an alternative cha

Yeah I'm skeptical. When you say "maintain high profits", maybe that is true maybe it isn't. But they are sharing the market with all of their competitors.

Our city no longer takes glass, it's kind of sad.

You just pointed it out yourself. You can't really modify historical data on a blockchain. So instead you'd need to create separate blockchains with separate histories. That's the value. If you have a centralized but publ

I'm not sure I follow. Having an immutable system of record (verified by crypto) is of value without decentralization and the blockchain is one realization of that.

by nightski 3y ago
No, not all cryptocurrencies are decentralized. There's nothing about a blockchain that requires decentralization. It's a key tenet of some of the coins, but not all.

Oh so you have to steal from the surrounding communities to support your urban utopia. Got it. What if they need funds too from the state? I don't think you can compare the U.S. to Germany. Germany has like 6x to 7x the population de

If you looked at the article I referenced, only 40% of the population lives in cities larger than 50k (census.gov). I'd imagine it is a bit less than that if you look at cities over 500k which are still small in comparison (and would

Is there any evidence this works in anything but the largest cities? Because America is built on small towns/cities [1]. [1] https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/05/america-a-nat...

In our city of 500k (which is arguably small, but honestly I think it's the perfect size) we never have to look for a spot. There's always free parking available.

This is not true in my experience, Seattle has a pretty solid bus system and we still felt like we were having to plan around them even though they generally would stop every 15 minutes. You could not count on them 100% either. Occasionall

Public transport is so inconvenient, even in the best cities. Your life revolves around transportation schedules. We walk several miles in our neighborhood every day. Yet we love the freedom a car gives us.

CA (where real estate exploded) is a niche market. It's great if you happen to live there. Most people can't identify a hot new real estate market and then upend their life to move there. There are plenty of years and locations

50-100 year old homes with no maintenance? They probably have had the roof replaced two to four times, windows replaced, siding replaced, furnace/ac replaced several times, egress window wells replaced multiple times, and that's

Productive things have a high cost of ownership. Our home has significantly increased in value, yet we are going to barely break even after maintenance & upgrades, taxes, insurance, and mortgage. Physical things tend to depreciate, and

Many physical copies come with a digital copy included. It makes little sense to just buy a digital copy imho. Not only that, the digital copy is often with movies anywhere and you can watch on any video streaming service (amazon, vudu, e

Clearly you've never used a Nvidia Jetson and have no idea what it is. You don't need a discrete GPU, it has a quite sophisticated GPU in the SoC. It's Nvidia's embedded platform for ML/AI.

There is no reason to, you can pick up a pro license on sale for $40 nowadays.

Hackers can build an ecosystem. So it doesn’t really matter what the vast majority do imho.

Felt the same way. Unfortunately went to 11 due to really desiring WSL(g) and Wi-Fi 6E 6Ghz support. The thing is I like a lot about the OS. But it's ruined for the reasons you mention. Such a shame.

It's amusing seeing people justify working from an office but the same people turning around and telling others to not eat meat or other restrictions on their life style. Either it's all in or it's not, and for most people it

I thought so as well but then in the article it says that only like 91% of the code even compiles.

I'm very pro-green energy but it's rather hard to deny the utility of oil & gas as a means of storing energy.

It's odd to me that an image such of this is rejected unless labeled as generated by "AI", yet an image heavily edited in Photoshop or some other software with algorithms is not.

I know it's fun to hate on America but that's bs. We walk several miles in our city every day and it's great. We'll walk in state parks or near our cabin on the weekends but there's nothing wrong at all with walki

It's just "JavaScript" in that it needs a translation layer and has a bunch of special syntax/semantics around reactive variables. Lol. I don't understand the cult following around Svelte. There's a lot of ma
