> 1,800 hours time-before-overhaul That’s surprising! Do you mean the entire life of the engine, or just one run? If the former, doesn’t that get expensive? I imagine that’s not very sustainable.

Why are you making an argument with “Bayesian priors”? This doesn’t make it more convincing…

Haven’t you heard? According to my deep crypto friends, ETH is not meant for transactions. It’s the security and trust of ETH as an L1 that matters, and you should be using <random> L2 coin with ZK rollups instead!

I actually know a few crypto enthusiasts who claim to use DEXes. When pressed further, you realise that it’s to avoid KYC/AML and taxes, not for decentralization principles…

Yes. Literally, that’s it.

Fair enough. In this case, since it subclasses/implements Immutable, it might be nice to call that out specifically in the error. You could immediately avoid thinking it's a typo or programmer error, but a deliberate feature.
951.
by yunohn 4y ago
Interesting, so immutable is basically syntactic sugar for read-only on every attribute. That's a good backwards-compatible sort of implementation.

If crypto were just a scalable way to perform global transactions without friction, that would actually be useful. However, right now crypto: - is not scalable at all - is not private at all - doesn’t have KYC, so it’s possible to be global

None of that changes the fact that all manual labor is outsourced for profit/control, and not benevolence like OP implied.
