   Not exactly. First of all the currencies aren't deflationary, they're slightly inflationary, meaning they lose value over time. Deflationary currencies are considered very bad if a government holds much debt at all. Inflationary c

   The first step is to not make it deflationary, which causes people to hoard it instead of spend it. Unfortunately BTC gained such popularity in part because of this property. One cool way to do this that I've been thinking about is to

   Buddy I hate all that shit. I use uMatrix and block as much as I can while still seeing the real content. In fact that's how I know what the domains are.

   Another HW FPGA guy here. Albeit one who has never used HLS. My concern with the whole idea of HLS is that it fails to take advantage of the parallelization capability of FPGAs, which in my opinion is one of the main reasons to use an FPGA

    That market pressure already exists, and what do you know, the market strongly favors certain locks directly because of that pressure.

    If I remember correctly, in the short story, the heptapods had a more fundamental grasp of calculus and continuous math, and derived algebraic concepts from that. Kind of like the inverse of how humans do it.

    I planned a short vacation earlier this month which involved flights, 2 different hotels, and a rental car. Inbox automatically gave me an itinerary with a timeline of each thing in order with all relevant info (flight times, flight number,

    I'm trying to move away from Google, but I'm struggling to find anything close to the quality of Inbox. It's pretty much perfect. And it gets a lot of its greatness by reading my email and organizing my information and events

    I used to play games a lot, and I don't now. It's not that I don't want to or that I wouldn't enjoy it, I just want to do too many other things more. I have a wife and a kid who demand a lot of my time, I lift weights, I

    I think the implication is that he sees the things the US currently does as less bad than his own list. I'm not weighing in on the validity of his assessment, but I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

    Can you talk about using Brave Browser, and what you like about it over Firefox? Why should I make the switch over ff + ublock + umatrix?

    In a few countries like Kenya and Tanzania, this concept is already in use and is extremely widespread. A LOT of people use this system instead of having a bank account. They even use it to pay bills and buy things at stores. https:/&

    Another way to solve this problem is to have binaries signed by a trusted developer/group. Not necessarily better or worse than using decentralization to solve the problem, just another good idea.

    Sorry. I didn't know which pronoun to use because I didn't know if gender changes apply retroactively, grammatically speaking. I'm having trouble knowing which one to use to write this post, too. At the time of the leaks Chel
