But don’t you see that if that number can’t be lifted, crypto will never be capable of doing what it’s theoretically capable of? It’s like being the first to market with some revolutionary product, totally screwing the implementation and ad

I know how it works, and I’d argue it is a flaw of the technology. Money works because I can hand $10 to a 5 or a 95 year old and they know what to do with it. Very few people do anything other than speculate in crypto, and even fewer hol

Right. No argument from me, except that isn’t the post I’m replying to, there the poster has said that a key safeguard is having custody of it. And without this magic piece, which as op points out is quite revolutionary, you’re literally at

Well, you’re not running a home chemistry lab, I suspect. Whereas a significant percentage of crypto enthusiasts believe they’re inventing the future of money, without the slightest idea of the protections the government offers their deposi

You missed freedom of exchange, or that you can readily exchange it with the next person easily, which no crypto has been able to do

How many, or what percentage, of crypto owners/holders actually have their crypto in their own custody? I would hazard to say somewhere south of 1%. So what benefit is it? Everyone has only traded one form of vendor lock in to another

If you’ve got a tube up your arse so you can breathe through your bowels, you’ve got bigger issues than microbiome ones. Even not needing that but being sick enough they’re considering that (if it was ever adopted) you’re going to have prob

It’s not doing anything without the prompt. It requires the prompt to fall through the network nodes to generate the next response. The bird example doesn’t translate, it’s the wrong criteria. Like assuming that the ability to respond com

I don’t understand this whole ‘tar the son with the (perceived) sins of the father’. Does this logic mean that if you have the misfortune to be born into a family that has the capability to perform it’s root functions more effectively than

I would love to hear some stories of startups that have tried to implement a 4 day week… any examples?

I think you still don’t really understand what is meant by placebo effect and are putting way too much stock in the power of low dose psychedelics. FYI I have microdosed and it felt great but I wasn’t trying to tease out an effect. I think

You know RNA can work as enzymes right? You’re basically saying ‘let’s create some other form that was doing the work’ - which could be true - weird small crevices with certain molecular properties and different metals exposed to heat gradi

I don’t think colonisation of australia is a good example for ‘water travel over the horizon’ - people literally walked there.

You’ve missed out a lot of numbers here. Soyuz is a bad example because it doesn’t matter how ‘cheap’ it is, it isn’t reusable. If they can built a second stage for $13m, $2m for fuel and refurb (musk has previously said marginal cost for a

Your data doesn’t show what you think it shows. Homicides is not gun deaths, because in Australia the number of gun deaths is so small. There are other ways to Kill someone.

I think I cover that. Company does not equal backer. Bad behaviour by company is not the responsibility of investors, it’s the responsibility of the board, the exec, and ultimately the courts. Investors can shape and influence, investors ho

Definitely looks pretty bad - but on the other hand, an accelerator not making any bets in crypto is not a sensible accelerator. You need to make bets everywhere and hopefully some stick. The other side of that is some don’t stick, and some

IQ is mostly a genital measuring test for anyone who wants to talk about it, I don’t think that’s a great idea.

They’ve actually gone mad. I’ve got a bunch of extra hardware I’ve been trying to offload. 15 year old account and I log in to try and sell something and I can only sell 1 thing a month. If I had I’d created a new account I could sell 10, m

Generally (and certainly most of the recent fasting trends) fasting is referred to as no more than 500 kcal intake, which is of course different to a ‘true’ definition which would be nothing, except maybe water

Lots of people acknowledge the evidence, almost everyone who is in a position to evaluate that evidence then points out that the existing evidence is, at best, of extremely poor quality, and at worst, outright fraudulent. They also usually

Some of the transaction fee is literally burned/ceases to exist. Some fraction of it is also printed but some goes away completely. As I understand it.
