There will probably be some really interesting network effects with this. Since a lot of the other PoW coins that are ETH-hardware compatiable have low volume, I think we're going to very rapidly see the profitably of mining these go w

Right. Fuck KYC. Just let people use money and actually solve crimes instead of just blocking transactions and infringing on people's privacy like crazy. Digital cash is still a pipe-dream because of this censorship/no-privacy&#x2

Money crimes should be prosecuted and solved at their start points and endpoints, not within the financial system. Failure to adhere to this standard is why we no longer really control the money in our bank accounts anymore. Want to send a

Your argument is akin to saying people shouldn't be allowed to drive cars because a car was used one time in a heist.

If that's the cost of a freer internet that's fine with me. I don't care if it's $10t.

A lot of DoD labs literally block downloading executable files and source code (I worked at one) unless you fill out a form and wait potentially months for approval. What I describe above is a very real scenario for hundreds of thousands of

It's quite simple. Either you believe the workers deserve representation or you don't. Business is the intersection of workers and corporations. You need both sitting at the bargaining table to get anything real done.

What a horrible viewpoint to have. Unionization is one of the best things happening (albeit slowly) in these sorts of industries right now. How can you not be for it? Amazon working conditions are terrible and turnover is so bad that Amazon

Completely right, but my point is it's the review sites / honeypots that move the needle on whether people will choose A over B, not A or B out-bidding each other in Google Ads.

Conversely, I wouldn't want to go to a doc who doesn't know how to Google basic stuff.

I think online advertising as we know it will be essentially dead by the end of the decade. Because most businesses are paying for google ads, you're basically paying a highway toll for the organic traffic you would get for free anyway

Right but you shouldn't be tested on things that can just be "looked up". You should be tested on your ability to apply what you know, and teachers should be taking the time to write globally unique problems for every single

51% attack on a proof of stake network would be a truly "I just want to watch the world burn" scenario, since you'd have to control 51% of the currency, why even bother. You control most of the money, why risk losing it with

What can I do with the rotary encoder thing? Not familiar... is it like a modulation input on midi keyboards?

It depends on the application. In this case both clients were using a no-code system used by big fintech players like Goldman Sachs that costs $150k for a one year license.

Side note: if our eyes did perceive color in a euclidean way, for example, the normal process of hue shifting something would actually work without needing to do any saturation/brightness/darkness adjustments afterwards.

This is just isn't true. Way way more AC gets used when offices are involved than when they are not (especially if the office building didn't exist in the first place in the flipside scenario). They leave office AC on 24/7, a

They are already. I consult for a lot of hyper-early-stage YC startups as they formulate their plans and I've had two separate clients in the past 6 months go the no-code route to build their MVP. At first I was against it, but having

For example, I would imagine you could come up with a more perfect list of what the "pastel" color is for any given hue. Another example I remember from my early 00s UX days -- if you take a gradient-based glass/glossy bar th
