ARK has to balance its holding to mitigate for any potential unforeseen risks. Cathy have talked extensively about their strategy of flipped diversification vs. consolidation. Unless we look into what ARK invested those 150k shares into and

Free speech isn´t really free speech unless it is granted to dissenting voices. The majority (or acceptable range of discourse) does not need protection by definition. That´s why free speech exists to begin with.

huh? Not sure you follow. Nothing would change in the fundamental nature of bitcoin or any other currency. The only difference is the algorithm that you run on the back-end to mine the coin would be one of scientific importance rather than

Basically any NP problem fits that category. Protein folding is one but so are many other problems. But even if the verification itself is hard (EXP problem) that could still work as at least that energy we are putting into the network will

Who gives a shit about energy usage if it is used for a cause that could potentially help humanity overcome adversity? Granted, energy usage is important but it is a question about trade-offs. If bitcoin helped solve cancer or some genetic

This is something that has boggled my mind since 2010 when I first looked at crypto. Why the hell would anyone waste CPU cycles computing some arbitrary hash value that is then ejected as "waste" rather than having the computation

I sure hope so. But weirdly enough, you cant tell sarcasm from a serious statement these days because we are in a crazy time where the most stupid shit is an everyday occurrence.

oooh the irony in this statement. If I could only monetize that somehow!!! If diversity was truly a strength why would he threaten to voluntarily give away that which makes him "strong"?... Who was the last "dictator" yo

Your criticism of the testing methodology is fair and valid. However, I see this as a test controlling for a single variable to the best of the ability of whoever made it. I am not sure what a better testing methodology would look like. Whi

What is the difference between those classes of goods? What non-arbitrary rule should we use as a society to determine if a product/service can be targeted or not? Seems to me that every time this subject comes up, an arbitrary list of

Serious question: How is that relevant though? Here is how I think about it: If my intention is to discriminate against men and publish an ad in a female magazine, sure, I cant control if a man buys and sees the ad or not. But discriminatio

It isn´t BankID that´s robust. In fact, as a federation service, it is probably one of the worst maintained ones in human history. The thing that makes identity theft harder in Scandinavia is the fact that Person-nr (SSNs) are public inform

Your point would stand only if these new heuristics are truly "new" when in fact, they are actually pretty old, tried and debunked at this point. And we actually do know what we want to measure and we have that as a goal but our m

kind of yea!

by wesammikhail 7y ago
Exactly. I think that a lot of what is plaguing society right now is, in spite of how techno-sophisticated we have become, is in a sense a measurement problem.

That is the perfect call for individualism there is. You try to push your ideas down someone else´s throat and they try to do the same. You´ll find no objection here. I am more than happy to live under such a framework. In fact, I think it

That may certainly be the case. In fact, I sure hope so tbh. But who knows at this point really. The decisions seems so arbitrarily made. One could easily argue that the same agency should have asked CF to do the same with 8chan. But we get

Not going to lie, I hold an an insane level of disdain toward Rawl´s Veil of ignorance for many reasons that I don´t want to get into right now. That said, the following sentence - I think - is one of the most important ones that I wish mor

The question was, IF science would present him with the gift of intolerance (considering that he put science as the arbiter for moral truths), would he accept it? If Yes: he´s an ideologically driven twat. If No: why bring up science when i

Between your link and this interview I saw yesterday with a 12 year old girl ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUSPmg3MJZQ ), I am beginning to believe that all of us adults are much much much dumber than we think we are :D

This is so naive. Terrorists use FB, Twitter, Youtube, Google, Cloudflare, Apache, PHP, Java, Volkswagens, US Senators, phones, pagers, etc. etc. So here is a formula for you to use in case you want to send us back to the dark ages: > Ca
