No, it wouldn't. Your brain needs glucose to survive and your body will manufacture it if it's not present. If you actually were able to accomplish what you're saying, you'd be braindead.

Thanks, though. I've been using it for a few days and it works great. Really helpful.

In this system, a node would poll a bunch of other nodes to find out whether a transaction occurred or not. If a sybil attacker created 10,000 nodes to link up to the network, who all said the transaction didn't occur, and overwhelmed

Looking at it further, it does a random sampling of nodes. Specifically it depends on https://people.csail.mit.edu/idish/ftp/Brahms-Comnet-Mar09.p... which in turn depends on: https://www.slideserve.co

I like this, but I sometimes tackle issues where I can't abruptly stop working without losing the context of what I was doing. It would be nice if there was a overtime button so I can get to a good stopping point.

So? A group of people all getting together to dig out the dirty laundry of someone together, doesn't make your participation any better. I'm not trying to single you out, but there is no "reply all" button.

Stallman isn't obligated to swoop in and give his side to the story everytime someone says something nasty about him. That's a ridiculous standard especially for someone as famous and controversial as he. Yea, I agree you don&#x27

It's not objective fact either. We don't know Stallman's side of the story. Besides which, you're dodging my point.

You misquoted me. I didn't write known . The whole point of my request was to show the absurdity of justifying spreading rumors about someone simply because their bad behavior is known .

Now what's the ugliest, awful story about your behavior? Kindly share it publicly along with proof of your actual identity. This is relevant information for anyone who might consider giving you a job, having a relationship with you, or

Japan has far worse. See “Audition” , for example of this. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/?ref_=m_nm_knf_i3 I was really emotionally affected after that one. Good fun.

It worked in the past but today is different is a vast oversimplification of my argument, and implying I'm either acting in bad faith or hoodwinked by those that are in order to pay off some investment manager is just an attempt to des

Why does everyone ignore the second part of my point? Corporations are going into record debt to do this. It is one thing to pay back shareholders by a dividend or buyback or whatever, if the company has extra profits, but it is quite a

When companies have now started to go into debt to buyback shares and artificially raise their EPS, who are they targeting? The people who are actively evaluating what they're buying, or those asleep at the wheel buying index funds? I

You are talking about a brilliant man actually getting fired, vs some hypothetical what-if that hasn't been proven. Why not go after actual occurrences of discrimination, rather than assuming anytime some speaks out in a non-PC manner,

When you buy a cup from Starbucks you typically are only buying a single dose. If you buy a vape cartridge, you have dozens of doses. It's much harder to throw the latter away than the former. Suppose someone bought a car, and found o

Why? What makes you hold these women up as such good judges of character? It sounds like it could be just typical office gossip/jealousy to me.

Also use pass (for passwords). That's a clever hack, thanks.
