Maybe it‘s the Nash equilibrium from a timing perspective? Like the reason that close to a McDonals there is usually a Burger King.

an added negative aspect of going further down the banning path is: it lessens the need (or signal) to improve education, or does it not? Not talking about the theory part of educa…

I’ve had some thoughts in that direction. Super interesting! I thought about it for jokes, as the reaction is quick (just system 1 and very maybe for more complex jokes it’s system…

- I agree that we shouldn‘t tell young people to aim for companies like Google / aim to get really really rich - I agree that we should tell young children to aim for sustainable c…

on chrime mobile: desktop mode is also helping out

I thought only those has to be reported, which would cause you to miss more than 3 days of work. I think I read that somewhere, but not certain!

how is the bitcoin price supposed to reflect the supply. The supply is pretty much math. Yes, the longterm price trend is an indicator of people valuing that fact (and other proper…

price stability has it own set of problems. If a good was regulated to have a stable price nobody would be incentivized to find a clever solution to solve a future crisis with high…

> At the moment, it's quite clear that current cryptocurrencies are solving problems nobody has (trustless transactions) That’s an assumption, not a fact. And trustless transaction…

in the beginning of the 21st century, some said cars are not for the masses. They were hard to start for example . You would get your hands dirty and needed some power to turn that…

true, but what you then loose is “natural selection”. Why? Because either a new standard is not allowed. Or it is allowed, but then highly probably just one… and the central planni…

correct, it was a "thumbs up" emoji

does it mostly help the bank run not end in a catastrophe or does it also helps alleviate a possible bank liquidity squeeze?

my guess is that people can like () individual posts. The positive of that is: a) possibility to like () just one post, or 2, 3… depending of who good the thread is b) the fine gra…

did you really mean 25% faster or 4x faster? If you really meant 25% you probably were not reffering to the clock speed/MHz, what were referring to?

the question is how long. For example the flash you have/had on standard camera (not smartphone who have LEDs, but the standard compact camera that is just a camera) is about 1kW!!…

kind of, but also not really, or at least not the same amount or type of regulation. DeFi is like many new things, it is it’s own new category (a car is not just a fast horse or th…

it might work. But there exist sooo many prototyping breaktroughs. Those who follow press releases for many years know that just a tiny fraction can transfer this in real world pro…

With fiat money the cantillon effect [1] plays a big role. In Bitcoin (fixed supply cap) that part is very very different. One big difference is that fiat/political money (politica…

It is sometimes hard to see through the noise, but for those actually interested, here a VERY incomplete list, just to have an idea where to start: - Pieter Wuille - Matt Corallo -…

I would guess that similar to “Go/golang” for searches and tags “analang” would become a thing. But it means you are partly right

my short answer would be: bad at punctuality. Frequent delays bigger than 10min. France for example is better at punctuality IMO. But granted: smaller population density, therefore…

Decentralization doesn't scale well, that is sure. But humans are inventing new tools to improve the decentralization over time, give new options. Sometimes the jumps are bigger, s…

oh thanks! it was about being an active part of an armed rebel group? I see. I should have read better what it ws about.

Don‘t know enough to tell, just (genuinely) asking: Is it not possibly to join a group, but actually leaning a bit in (also or partially) another direction (knowing that with our h…
