Yes, certain motives may be similar but the method and journey are always unique This has nothing to do with "conversing" and everything to do with advice-driven self-help books which use vague terms to supersede wisdom si

Success is a big word which lacks information .. Even the failures are wins as those failures carry information. Exactly. This is why "self-help" books don't work. You're listening to someone else's path w

Just means the market needs to raise the prices. In bitcoin this is similar to raising transaction fees to add a disincentive for DDOS attacks. Right now, it seems ethereum is just an almost-free VPS service and people are surprised that a

something that we don't know is happening For not understanding, you sure have a closed mind about what's going on.

Most of freenode is this way. You'll notice that freenode admins/ops will ban for any off-topic discussion and most chans are deafeningly silent because of this. It's a terrible environment for natural discussions.

Freenode is HEAVILY moderated and censored to the point of restricting basic free speech. Find a different place. To the downvoters: you are doing exactly what I'm talking about

What have they specifically done that has made your creative work more difficult? Final Cut Pro X is now unusable due to them engineering the UX for beginners (it's basically an iMovie Pro) and similar moves to cater to the low

I think Apple seriously underestimates its appeal towards creatives. I've been buying Apple products for 10 years because of their ease-of-use with creative software. As they slowly move away from PC's and professional media sta

Blockchain's are only as strong as their networks (distribution/hashing power/relay speed) as that's what gives them power. A personalized "blockchain" is a hashed database. Without the vast decentralized netw

Yeah, that's not really a software agent.. Anyone who actually did some research knew that was a centralized pyramid scheme.

I've always been fascinated by the concept of software agents that become self-sufficient (mining/stealing bitcoin to pay for their own hosting) and auto-generate desires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwar

Given that it's becoming almost illegal in most public space, I wouldn't be surprised if people were misinformed about the benefits (I'm not condoning smoking). Simply pointing out the fact that the more a substance is pushe

This reminds me of all the people currently mocking bitcoin and crypto-enthusiasts as "fundamentally flawed and impossible" when discussing replacing fiat currencies.. In 20-30 years those same people will be coming up with great

Freenode is a heavily logged and censored network btw. I recently came to find a "bug" in the backend which activates a ghosted bot that lurks chans (secretly) and is activated to terminate and clear channels.

The government currently tells businesses how to build their buildings, how to run their safety code, their hygiene policies etc. I'm not endorsing this level of micro-management, but it certainly allows recourse for negligence and ma
