>since they tolerate it in the leaders that align with their views. Which one?

Please RFA. "The reduction they saw was confined to households that did actually have access to a car" "They discovered that tightening these laws had no detectable effects on the …

Not being depended on craftsman for small things like fixing your toilet safes you a lot of stress in my experience. Not problems with appointments, no waiting, no arguing in case …

But you can't order Pizza (or drugs) with Bitcoin anymore. And I don't see much of use case of a currency that can't do that. Without adoption a fiat currency like bitcoin is not w…

Inside of one coin hashpower makes the winner, because the chain with the most accumulated difficulty wins. It makes sense to transfer this to the relation of different coins. curr…

It seems there is currently more hashpower behind BCH than BTC. [1] Because of the current price surge mining bch became way more profitable, but this will change with the next adj…

It does not change anything substantial about the web today. It will just be a saner output format for compilers than javascript. Unless you write compilers, nothing changes. It do…

No, is not like that. Both the calf to the cow and bch (bcc ?) to btc are "intrinsic". They are the result of the nature of these things. Not gifts, not accidents, not abritrary. A…

>Coinbase can do anything they want! That's no how laws work. Not even remotely. Thankfully. Consider you order somebody (X) to transport your pregnant cow. At the destination the …

Math is not about proofing something, or creating a as big as possible collection of lemmas. Math is about creating structures that can use as tools to solve problems. And problem …

>The real question seems to be legally whether BCH is a gift to those owning BTC or those possessing it. In Bch is not a gift. Who should have gifted it? Who is the previous owner?…

>You don't own Bitcoin if you don't control the keys. That's wrong, and obviously so. That concept is "possession" and not "ownership". What they write in their ToS doesn't matter,…

Edited my comment to make it clearer. There is a difference between ownership and possion. Technically (in the meaning "how it is realized in computer code") bcc is given to the pe…

Of course. The Bitcoins are still mine, even i keep them in a coinbase wallet. (ownsership vs perssesion). Now every btc owner gets bcc. The owner is me, not coinbase. I gave the p…

Maybe we can use the brute force of a "math superoptimizer" to "compress" it to something far more reasonable. If we teach said opimizer what structures are well understood by huma…

They can have any stand they want. But they deny me my property. Imagine a bank anouncing they would keep all the dividends of one particular stock, because the didn't like it. Tha…

I don't understand why bitcoin is afraid of hardforks. Ethereum hard forks like there is no tomorrow, and so far the number of major block-chain-splits is equal, two. The offical i…

Not even the Plan 9 People use C for web development. And the plan 9 folks _really_ like c.

Most active noise-canceling head-phones work pretty well even if you don't listen to anything.

The last time I did it couldn't even typeset a root. (The line on top and the thing at the front weren't connected) And in Powerpoint the formulas have constantly different sizes a…

I get a teaching degree. Every discipline as it's own formating requirements. For CS and Physics things have to look good, but there is not too much specified. Everybody uses TeX, …

It's typesetting DSL, but if you want to typeset you'd need a typesetting meta-DSL. The one thing that works fine with TeX is math, because math typesetting is build in. Typesettin…

I want to belive, but i have seen serveral TeX alternatives (Such as ANT [1][2] and Rhinotype[3]), but they all die very quickly. Esp. ANT would have been a fantastic improvement. …

Namespaces are the least of my worries. TeX is not a programming language, it's two programming languages. These languages have a self modifying syntax and is parsed with state mac…
