So, definitely not in defense of Celsius it smells funny to me as well. But the author doesn't seem to understand DeFi. I don't know how Celsius operates but if there's a genuine zero-knowledge proof of their operations then

Yes, why not? Must it absolutely be so that a 20 year old Macbook can run the latest kernel? One that isn't even released yet, it's just in the preliminary planning phase? It's not even like new software wouldn't run on

Woops, sorry last time I checked was a couple years ago, I don't know why I failed then, seems there's plenty options now. Thanks!

Do you have an example of being able to rent a single bare metal node, with the cost of the rack already priced in? I've never seen it, especially not like Hetzner where it can cost as little as $50/mo all inclusive for a full ser

I've been bitten by this, was a pain in the ass to figure out that something was messing with the iptables rules.

Anyone know why dedicated is just not a thing in the US? I looked for a Hetzner alternative in the US and it's just crazy to me that it doesn't exist. I think Hetzner's dedicated servers product started from the consumer dema

So I take it your datacenter has never burned down? Sorry, had to poke fun a little bit, obviously there's always a chance of having a bad experience. I've only had to interact with Hetzner support once, and it was positive, we de

As far as I understand the main problem of string theory is that it has been carefully constructed to fit all the physics we know about, and has not actually predicted anything we didn't already know about that we could experimentally

The principles of crypto finance? Cryptocurrencies are not built on principles, they are built on technologies. The only unifying principle across all cryptocurrencies that I've noticed is that you access your assets through a cryptogr

So science as I view/understand it, is the effort to extract knowledge from the observable universe through experiments, observations and logic. If I compare science to religion, this is where I see the difference: In the church you ha

I understand their point, I just don't think I'm being too dogmati. I'll respond to your other comment with my viewpoint.

Happy you feel that way ;) > We've got to repress those urges of curiosity to appease glorious science No, it's to appease our desire to live in a society that aligns with our morality. If you'd read the religious books fo

That it's the ultimate authority doesn't mean you should always believe it. It's just the best we've got. It's the best thing about science is that it's explicit about the bounds of what we know and don't

This has nothing to do with newbie mistakes. GoDaddy has been a household name for decades. This was not a newbie mistake, this was negligence and refusal to invest in modern technologies. I'd rather risk it with the newbies, modern st

Justice requires due process. This announcement was made two hours ago. Everyone just wants to instant gratification and to know which party is right or wrong so they can feel good about their minds being made up. We are not the jury here,

The accusation is not vague and it was substantiated. Just not to you. Not to me either, and I think that's a good thing for now. No doubt whoever steps up to become the next mod team will be fully informed by both sides, and hopefully

It's not a power grab, because they just relinquished power, even going to the point of leaving instructions for the next group of people that would take over. Just this flaw in your logic probably landed you your first downvotes. Seco

No, an immature drama would have people slinging feces. This is a highly mature drama where the arguments are dry, generic and adhere to a strict code of values. No fingers were pointed, and the offended party is taking the high road by res

I feel it's a bit of a tautology, the fact that they're resigning already clearly communicates there's an irreconcilable difference between the mod team and the core team. If the core team comes with an explanation that would

Same here, baffled at that everyone's just taking the boss's judgement as gospel. Provided that he tested his refactor well, as his colleague I would be stoked someone went and cleaned up my code. It's not just about reducing

Where do you draw the line? Is GitHub quick and easy software? Is Shopify? Were LinkedIn, Twitter? Are things built on Tensorflow? I think you misunderstand the scripting language revolution of the mid 2000's. It's not that we sud

There's a great deal of evidence that supports that, it's just not scientifically organized. If you just look at the amount of high quality high polished projects out there for the dynamic programming languages it absolutely dwarf

There is an excellent interview by Lex Fridman with Wolfram on this topic. It's just them talking about this concept and the related concepts and their relationships to both the universe as a whole and to various scientific fields. It&

Not a comic book shop but a games shop, but same style of community I bet. The owner dedicated half of the building to an area where people could play MtG and Warhammer and Pokémon or whatever. Us geeks would hang out there for hours after

I trust Github explicitly. Or in my case Gitlab, as that's where our code and our CI/CD is. I'll go even further and tell you that I'd trust the public key on Gitlab to be correct more than I'd trust the keys on m
