These researchers presume that their goal is to make users think that an operation is happening quickly, even if it is slow. I thought the goal of a progress bar was to report reality, not manipulate users into thinking that your slow code

No, you missed the part where this isn't about conservative values — it's about even liberals being banned and called far-right and racist and anti-democracy when they are nothing of the sort. Liberals are being called racists a

It's difficult for the Bitcoin community to find consensus on changes to the consensus rules. We couldn't change a constant from 1MB to 2MB. I think changing PoW entirely is extremely unlikely to happen. It's much easier f

Indeed, liberals are now commonly being mis-labeled as "far-right" in America. The left has become intolerant of conservative views, and labels anything conservative as "far-right". Liberals tend to entertain views acr

Blacklisting and excommunication are exactly what is happening today, but the difference is that it's much worse in a global world. In 200 BC, if you were excommunicated from a tribe, it would be horrible, but you could walk 20 miles

This is very well-put! But how do you reconcile this with people losing or being suspended from their jobs, for instance, for what they say? [1] [2] It's hard to say that these people don't have the conviction to stand by their i

That's good feedback, thank you. I think we'll be able to get clearer use-cases there within the next few months.

You might check out https://braid.org , which is like SSE but specifically for updating state at URLs, and works for binary data.

If you bought 1 Bitcoin in 2012, it's now worth 1 BCH + 1 BTC. Both of them are Bitcoin. GP's question was ambiguous about which fork he was referring to.

It's a common misconception that the energy consumed by Bitcoin is proportional to the number of transactions -- it's not. Energy is proportional to price. Hashpower is used to stamp a proof-of-work onto the merkle root of each b

Those are two different things. FDIC does not protect you from sending money to the wrong person. It only protects you from a bank going insolvent because it lent out more money than it has. That can't happen in Bitcoin, because your
