Bitcoin is as obsolete as POSIX. It's ossified, and not changing is a feature.

- Why is KyuWeb limited to HTTP/1.1? - This might be a silly question, but could you explain to me why did you pick a new header, instead of something like `Accept: text/kyu`?

Regarding the distribution of users on Mastodon servers, the article seems a little biased. The author complains about how "an average of six hundred users per server" doesn't look…

Needs cost-based querying paid for with lightning network to be viable at scale.

AFAIK Digital Ocean blocks outbound connections to port 25. Has the author actually tried this setup? Source: https://docs.digitalocean.com/support/why-is-smtp-blocked/

I heard that truffle is a little outdated unfortunately, and doesn't add much value nowadays over hardhat.

Breaking down Google is not gonna work. I guess that the simplest solution is to forbid Google from being in the ad exchange business. Take down AdX and most of the monopolizing ef…

I think this will potentially be the lawsuit of the year. Really interesting read. A lot of the monopoly advantages seem to focus on AdX. I wonder if demanding that Google shall no…

An NFT is a virtual title of ownership on a blockchain, that's it. You don't own neither a string or an image or a JSON. https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721

Yep, this is just the introduction to these kinds of thing. Then, they start to get accountants in both countries to agree on what seems a reasonable rate, say 30%? And the other 7…

I met aome of the creators back in the day. The RedHat model is working well for them: open source and sell consultancy. It doesn't scale exponentially but as long as their OSS pro…

Assuming some market efficiency, those fees should be fairly similar to the cost to process that transaction into a block, so, 2,000 usd

It's a pretty long article

It's not about being close to consumers. 1. If you are the Communist party and you are planning electricity for a 5M inhabitants city in 2007, growing at 9% (doubling every ~7 year…

I think it's really similar to art. It's more about your relationship with the artist or the emotion that makes you want to own the original... And of course, the art market.

TL;DR: Ethereum uses a lot of energy, we shouldn't use it for anything non essential because it wastes energy. Contrary to the article title, 90% of the arguments exposed are just …
