What differentiates a non-crypto hash from a crypto hash. Is there a fundamental difference between the two which prevents one from being used for cryptographic purposes?

Not really low hanging fruit if the last time you studied CPU design was in a university course. I personally found a lot of the information pretty interesting.

Could you give a rough time period for when you set up their accounts and how old the accounts are now? Just trying to get an idea of if this is still happening even now.

Not to mention that anytime I see extremely high pay in crypto companies I think the salary is overinflated because they are paying a large portion in tokens.

Except they're not really close because in one case, the government is handing you tax payer money in exchange for potential growth and revenue for the city whereas in the other case you are paying a specific government official for

I think the biggest issue is that they're advertising it as a way for literally anyone to break into the tech industry. I love to imagine that everyone can code but that's not necessarily the case. If you're capable you'

Even easier fix for that which is much cheaper to enforce... narrower roads, raised crosswalks, separated bike lanes. Cars will naturally drive slower on those roads and they are more friendly to other modalities.

How often are you doing the conversion manually? It seems like the sort of thing that should happen in the presentation layer so people never see the actual Kelvin amount. If you have a system where you always use SI then it's strange

That sounds like a case for Kelvin. I still don't see why Celsius is the one exception that isn't SI.

Even shorter (but slightly less accurate) is talking about the time scale that you are working on. L3 => you know what you're doing for the next few days to a week. L4 => you know what you're doing for a month L5 => you k

Same for my $70 IKEA chair (which also survived 4 moves). I only stopped using it because my job let us take home the office chairs once work from home started a few years ago.

This is a bit disingenuous because the ads from 15 years ago are very different from the ads today. Additionally, YouTube didn't even have ads (of any form) for the first few years and once they did roll them out, it was only given to

That doesn't sound right to me. The only place where you're paying $30 for an Uber where 1. it would have been possible to call a taxi, 2. the taxi only costs $10, 3. it's a 15 minute drive, is in the middle of a big city. In

It's because suburbs are subsidized in the current system. Roads, infrastructure, and other upkeep costs are paid by the entire city but since the denser regions are more productive/profitable, they end up paying for the services

> Creating conditions to force people into highly dense urban area also = miserable people. Do you have a source for this? Denser European cities seem to have much higher happiness than people living in single family residential suburbs.

Other countries might be less sustainable however that lack of sustainability doesn't impact the US as much. The real cost of oil drilled within the US is higher than the real cost of oil drilled outside the US.

In that case, I think Unity fits the hole that Flash used to fill. You can copy a bunch of free assets from the store (or build your own using blender) and then sprinkle in some code to make a game.
