When I see a rich car, I always think "heh I guess this guy likes to rub in our faces that he has more money than us... this is why I could never buy a nice car." I'll probably drive a used corolla for my whole life just out

It's also very easy to fake/attack. Sybils in this system would not be difficult to spin up.

How did the node get started in the first place though? Unless you were part of the genesis block yourself, you only believe the history at all because someone told you it was the right place to start.

Well, a lot of x86 actually does get proven using formal methods. Clearly not all of it, but we've realized that was a bad plan, and that we should go back to formally verifying all of our hardware.

Uh, I think that many cryptocurrency experts would take strong opposition to the idea that ethereum has delivered reliably. Just because a bridge is still standing today doesn't mean it's safe. Ethereum has been almost religious i

The problem with that is that you only know that 'so much money' is being bet because you know who owns the money. But you only know who owns the money because that same money was bet earlier by people that you know owned the mone

According to what evidence? Due to yeild tolerance, they tend to be among the first made, even getting made during risk production.

Uh, it's the other way around. 10nm Intel is 7nm global foundries. 22nm Intel is superior to 14nm global foundries. Intel is the one that doesn't fudge their numbers.

The biggest advantage to a blockchain, in fact the only thing it does better than other systems, is immutability. Lots of people don't seem to appreciate this.

FOV is pretty important. It's difficult to feel like you are in an augmented reality if you have to tilt your head just to see the full object in front of you. Maybe you could get by with little helper things, but that's just a fa

No major discoveries since the 70's? I think that's just hindsight speaking. It's easier to decide that something was a major discovery after you know how it changed history. Blockchains are one that I would present. I'm

I think it's reasonable to assume though that this universe of things which are possible to invent is finite. Certainly we see that in some places. For example, cutlery. We hit the bounding box on inventing new useful cutlery a long ti

There's a meme that hashing power is equal to control, but the truth is that having a hashrate majority gives you a pretty limited set of powers, and if you abuse them you will see people flee to other cryptocurrencies or systems.

We are going to have a very sorry series of tragedies if that doesn't change. Remote monitoring is fine, remote control is not. At least, not for things like nuclear power, weapons systems, vehicles that can drive very fast, etc

If you can remotely control something, so can your enemy.

Bitcoin mining unfortunately is typically useless for sucking up spare electricity. The hardware is too expensive, unless it's running 85%+ uptime, you will not make back your initial hardware purchase. We can thank Moore's law fo

I lost a lot of friends quitting Facebook. All of the events we coordinated were over Facebook. I was no longer able to invite people to my events, and they no longer were notifying me of their events. I was off the radar. Took me more than

Probably not, the toes really aren't built for fine motor action the way the fingers are. You would probably get RSI pretty quickly. You'd want to stick to motions that are more typical, such as stepping the foot.

This happened for waltonchain. They got caught red handed faking a community giveaway, and that was a big enough story to bring them into the spotlight and push them into the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap for a bit.

This type of mentality is very pervasive in ethereum culture. They built their scripting language with this mentality. They chose to have multiple clients with this mentality. They designed their 12 second blocks with this mentality. That&#

You can see the telegram team pulling this off because you aren't in the crypto space. They are claiming to be able to solve open research problems that some of the best minds in the world have been studying for years, and don't h
