Glad to see more attention being paid to the psychological impacts of noise. Our cities are full of noise pollution- car alarms, motorcycles with tricked engines, the list goes on. These things are detrimental to health.

Is the premise here that a conspiracy has never taken place in history?

Nah, what's incredibly cruel is forcing people to spend their last months in extreme pain and/or enduring severe mental illness

There are a few solutions, and reputation is a good one. Here's another: verifiable identities. Zero Knowledge proofs and crypto/blockchains can provide ways to authenticate actual people without revealing who they are.

This has the potential to be a major problem for the upcoming merge. If OFAC regulations hit major public companies like Coinbase & LIDO etc., they may start censoring transaction at the base layer (not in a DAPP). And given that they r

But isn't the request for a cross platform standard? Sure Apple got their own internal standard right, but the experience across platforms still matters.

Title is misleading. The article basically covers specific cases where modals aren't a great solution, but the title suggests they are NEVER useful. Clickbaity if you ask me.

Because the legacy banking system will just take their money. Decentralized systems are not only more transparent, they are also more inclusive. But note- dollars are far and away the largest medium of exchange for criminals. So if you want

Tokenomics are generally aggregated and published by third party organizations for almost every project. Blockchain analytics are also big business. My point stands- it's hard to hide things on an open source, decentralized blockchain.

Ponzi's rely on deception, but crypto projects are the complete opposite- they are entirely public. Literally every transaction is public. So the entire premise/title of this article is nonsense. Also the shade thrown at Cardano i

For anyone that does decide to learn Haskell, you can easily get a job afterwards working on the Cardano blockchain. Smart contract devs are in high demand, and Cardano uses a variant of Haskell that is relatively unique to the space.

Life is certainly nuanced, but complexity is more often leveraged to justify corruption than it is the cause of failure.

I highly doubt they were bribed by Bitcoin miners. What's more likely is that BTC is emerging as a global store of value asset, and with the additional advantage that the supply of BTC is not entirely controlled by exploitative global

"Because Ethereum transactions are programs, the halting problem means that it isn't possible to accurately predict the resources needed to execute them." Cardano fixes this with deterministic execution and fees.

Apparently it's not just OnlyFans and GoFundMe that like punching themselves in the nads. Mind boggling how these businesses make these decisions. Even if the strategy is to pivot, bungling the PR on this scale is just awful.

Exactly. And I'd add one note- many businesses can't afford a "subscription" for thousands of dollars a month.

This essay overlooks the most likely path to life extension, which is our ability to snapshot the brain's electrical/chemical storage. Always back up your data! The speed of progress in computing is fast outpacing medical research

Counterpoint- this was yet another tired critique of Bitcoin. How many of these smug, superficial boomer oriented rants must we endure? It's easy to attend conferences and mock people. Meanwhile BTC is playing a meaningful role in the

So the entire Crypto space is a "lawless wasteland" just because some folks are trying to manipulate the markets? Gonna need a bit better argument to buy that.

So basically the tech is still a few years away from being cost effective and user friendly.

Which claim? Our money is centralized via the Fed. Our information is centralized via corporate media. Our politics are centralized via Oligarchy. These systems act to divide and conquer us, sapping our power. By switching to decentralized
