Honest question: could it be a matter of backwards compatibility? Intel has been piling stuff on top of old architectures in order to stay backwards compatible at each step, while Apple had the opportunity to develop their architecture from

I just default to an x86-emulated terminal and everything I use on my M1 works exactly as it did on my Mid 2015 MBP, except faster. The only exception is virtualization, which only works if there’s an ARM image available (which there isn’t,

I’ve seen this book mentioned a couple of times on HN now. I’m curious: did you learn about this book from the fourth season of the Fargo? This is where I encountered it first.

The potential issue isn't spontaneous breakage, but rather a determined attacker exploiting the incentive structure in an unexpected manner. And the financial motivation to do this is much greater for ETH since it's around 100 tim

I agree completely. I think the greatest value proposition of non-government money (e.g. gold, bitcoin) — at least in the long run — is the ability to escape from zero/negative interest rates. I also agree that the different between EU

You make a good point wrt. physical cash (coins and bills) versus electronic currency. I think it's sensible to analyze the two separately. Also, it's important to consider that commercial banks do much more than just keep track o

That’s true. But it’s important to point out that proof-of-work (PoW) is more decentralized than e.g. proof-of-stake (PoS). For example, with PoW you only need a single honest node to arrive at the correct chain during initial sync. With Po
