    That's in the specific context of staking and promising returns, not crypto in general.

    On that note, legacy computer vision models have exceeded humans at identifying pathologies from images of retinas, etc., for probably decades now.

    A Turing Award for avoiding a context switch? I mean, I love eBPF more than most, but this is a practical engineering solution to a logistical problem that didn't really need to ex…

    That's a cool conjecture but it kind of misses the point of eBPF. The point of it is that you can run user-defined programs while avoiding the costly context switch between user sp…

    eBPF allows user-defined programs to run in the kernel. This is huge for performance-sensitive code that executes against network packets: you don't have to context switch between …

    Not true. It's sad that you all quantify and gamify relationships.

    Standard Stripe fees on $250k revenue: - 2.9% + 30¢ per charge - Assume net-30 invoices - Total fees: 2.9% * $250k + 30¢ * 12 = $7,253.60 - Stripe can freeze your money arbitrarily…

    Okay. I have personally saved tens of thousands of dollars and hours of headache by just doing my business on chain. How valuable is 2.9% of $1m+ to you?

    All of the facts contradict you. Two years ago I had to fend off contracts that paid in USDC. It's easier to find someone to pay in USDC today than it was then. Market share and vo…

    In my experience, clients have asked me if it's alright to pay me in USDC, not the other way around. The genie's out of the bottle. Once your funds are on chain, you have instant s…

    In my experience, that's not true. I've accepted hundreds of thousands of USDC in revenue in other ventures. I've also wired and accepted wires for similar amounts. Each time I get…

    Stripe takes a hefty cut. Use USDC. Costs a fraction of a penny and settles in less than a second.

    Nothing. It's probably cheaper to swap Euro stable -> USDC on chain than whatever fees your banks charge you. Additionally, if you're building a legitimate business on chain, then …

    Nothing. Send USDC to Circle, Coinbase, or any centralized exchange for a fraction of a penny. Swap to USD for free. ACH transfer to bank for free.
