On a relative scale, I agree with you that the amount of training involved differs for accountants and burger flippers, thus this is a good example. On an absolute scale, comparing…

With the two examples you chose, I‘d say there is not much of a skill gap. If you‘d have chosen a burger flipper and an aeronautical engineer or a surgeon, I‘d have agreed with you…

As a German, I have to fiercely object here (: More seriously: Almost all cars in Germany are limited to 250km/h (155 mph). Higher limits for more powerful cars are also found in t…

Descartes told us that animals are mere soulless automatons, not entities given the same rights and same consideration as humans. Well ok, that was 300 years ago and views have cha…

Agreeing on this one. State should sell any kind of addictive substance, which would immediately yield benefits: 1. (Large parts of) Funding of organized crime would dry up and the…

That’s a very fine line to walk. The same reasoning could be applied to speeding (actively endangering others), overeating (actively endangering yourself), hunting, snowboarding, s…

Curious as to why you are interested in 100%+ Keebs. I know that everyone has a different comfort zone, especially for their daily driver (which is a 60% split for me) and the only…

Precisely! Once you do that, you realize that public debt on the US has quadrupled since the financial crisis of 2008. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN/ Meaning that much…

If by that you mean a quadrupling in public debt since the financial crisis of 2008, you are right. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN/ No other first world country adds de…

The general answer is: through proof of stake. Since this is HN, you might enjoy this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/0805.2815 originating from a project called Cardano, which has pu…

Thank you for pointing this out! Having my fingers leave home row as little as possible is vastly superior to reaching for arrow keys and having to reposition my fingers on home ro…

If you are really asking this, you failed to understand the fundamental concept of DLTs. Why would they use DLT for exchange of (promised) value rather than using banks? Why would …

That’s correct and several exchanges will freeze funds when they have a “tainted history”. Thus, tokens on open ledger DLTs are not fungible at all. Cash is more fungible, yet you …

What kind of build is 75 keys without arrows? A 60% (no arrow keys) has 61 keys (ANSI) and the next “bigger” one, a 65% has 67 keys and usually already arrow keys. Is it some non-s…

Then I could counter argue with another anecdote that I visited thousands of such facilities and in all of them cases of magic healing once the insurance money dried up happened. M…

With e2e vs insecure, there is an objective differentiating factor, while in wine (apart from price, there apparently isn’t). To leverage your example, it would be like selling “se…

Isn’t sharing it publicly already a counter argument to “I don’t care if nobody knows about it”? Thus you wouldn’t have to falsify. We could think of a scenario where his neighbor …

Your statement is illogical on several levels. This is not a tertium non datur situation. If donating money is ‘neutral’ then not donating money is ‘neutral’. I’m not joining the d…

That is likely, if the fake street sign were to resemble a real one both in appearance and context. If it were a stop sign in a billboard ad, humans would ignore it, though.

Have you tried international money transfers? Bank to bank this can take 3-5 business days (agreed, western union can be faster, but less convenient) and, depending on your payment…
