In fact cats are mentioned in the bible, in the deuterocanonical book of Baruch 6:21 (6:22 in some versions). This was part of the bible up until the reformation and is still part …

Problem is NIV is not open source, technically I would need a license. There's lots of more modern translations, like the World English Bible. I think using KJV is good for enhanci…

Ever seen the classic response "None Of These Words Are In The Bible" to a strange sentence? Now you can check if it's true! Supports most social media and most (English) open sour…

An important and often misunderstood point: Having >2/3rds of validators (or >50% of power in PoW) let's you rewrite the chain back in history, censor txs, etc. You control what tr…

Sounds more like an issue with the team and onboarding than a problem with you, IMHO. I say: cut your losses and swallow your pride, share what you just told us with a senior engin…

My first thought was "you know who would want this? Insurance companies!" Doctor have a moral incentive -- often a strong one! -- to maximize your health, but they actually don't h…

The inventor of the logic of questions was named Whately. That tracks.

I don't know at what level this is used, but I have only ever seen it in my graduate level logic and mathematics courses. (I'm European.) I like it. Part of a good proof is a rigor…

They're missing the point. The web already allows you to easily spin up a private network where you can set all the rules. Web2 was the cash grab based on the realization that if y…

Word of advice: don't go looking for your private keys. If someone was malicious they could log all fetched pages and scan those for keys with funds attached. The act of looking up…

I've noticed that there are a few hardcoded ones on the final page, where the account exists and the key is wrong. I'd say odds are that the website is wrong, but you can always lo…

Not really. The point is: there's always someone who has a debt in DAI they need to pay off. If they thought the dip would go even further , they would wait longer, because to them…

That's exactly what unions do. They consider what a reasonable salary for their members are, usually in long and meticulous negotiations with the employers. They are not idiots. Th…

Joining the union is voluntary. It's simply a way of coordinating action. And strikes are well within the legal rights of workers -- it's the way the system is designed to work, bi…

I had never heard of this bridge before the attack. The fact that a project manages to attract half a billion in capital unfortunately doesn't say all that much, since so much capi…

That's what you hire auditors for.

WebAssmebly is not web specific. And it's not assembly. I think the best way to think of it is that "WebAssembly" is a great marketing name, but what it does is be a modern-day JVM…

In every single job interview I've had, I've asked some variation of this: "what's it like to work here" or "what's the culture like". Every time I've received honest, thoughtful r…

Do you have anywhere you can do interview practice? Somewhere you can get honest feedback? It's possible you are sending of bad vibes. Impossible to say from just reading your post…

You send your ETH to a specific contract, from which it can't be moved (whether you want to call that "burning" is up to you, but it's probably a bit confusing). Each validator mus…

You can't control the network with 1/3 with BFT consensus, you need 2/3rds.
