The users. Each transaction in a blockchain has associated fees. Those performing the transactions have to pay the fees. It’s not dissimilar to how you pay for EC2 instance time or AWS lambda invocations.

You should try writing a smart contract and it will become clear how it works.

This is like the “horses are faster than horseless carriages” argument.

This is my dream for the blockchain: a massive global computer that no one controls. I can run my own services on it, using cryptography to maintain privacy when necessary, and I don’t need to worry about all the annoyances of self hosting.

Isn’t this a microcosm of the broader story with commercial real estate? Values are down massively. Trying to break the lease is like realizing those losses for WeWork.

But in the worst case, initializing one package causes the count in each of the remaining packages to update. Maybe they have a clever way of doing that. Or maybe this is very unlikely to happen in practice.

Yea and once you’re dead you also stop caring about the life of toil your kids endure.

Is it just me or is the new import initialization algorithm n^2 in the worst case? Surprised by that.

But Darwin, the iOS kernel, is Unix?

Aren’t macOS and iOS Unix-based? Unix is one of the most widely used operating systems in the world right now.

But the surveillance was a crucial part of control and indoctrination. Surveillance of the home, never knowing whether or not someone was watching, led Winston Smith, and presumably other citizens, to change their thought patterns. He was l

I agree, but American knowledge workers have somehow been convinced that the best path forward is to remain ununionized, at-will employees, which means the desires of the workers are always superseded by the desires of capital. In the capit

I have yet to see anything indicate remote work makes knowledge workers more productive. I prefer hybrid word, but exclusively because of the benefits outside of work. Anecdotally, I’m probably around 80% as productive at home compared to a

Sure, but what is the ratio of students to office workers? And isn’t a student using the bus to go to school also a commute?
202.
by rcme 3y ago
The primary usage of public transit is 100% commuting. Malls are often used for bus hubs because they have ample parking. If you're seeing shoppers and students on the bus, then you're not riding the bus at rush hour.

It’s actually you who are making the distinction. The article doesn’t mention whether or not the filmed people were “in public” or whether they were only “publicly observable” (whatever that means). One of the videos I know for a fact occur

Ok... I'm just taking your arguments (that you have no expectation of privacy in public) and showing you all the ways that you, personally, have an expectation of privacy in public. You have an expectation in a public shower. You have

No, the profits are not in the volume. See the profitability vs. volume of iOS vs. Android. Ultimately, Nvidia charges a lot of mid-range cards because they don't have any competition. If Nvidia did have competition, they could lower t

Anyone is free to sign up to the gym and go to the showers. And it’s not about Google specifically. Any server is located out in what is essentially public. When you connect over the internet, you’re essentially leaving your house to go to

I hate to break it to you, but a sever in Google’s data center is not a private place. And if you shower in a public shower? For instance at the gym or pool? I believe you’re beginning to see that you have certain expectations of privacy in

Why? When you’re browsing the internet, you’re connecting to servers owned by others and agreeing to their terms of service. You’re also using a service provider to provide your internet service, which is, again, privately owned. From where
