Houston did/does have laws that are in effective zoning laws. Parking space requirements, setbacks, etc. Also transit systems may be required. I imagine a place with truly no zoning laws and a transit system would have a lot of develop

I used to be Mormon, I think Mormon culture is the main reason. This article seems to describe the reasons well: https://religionnews.com/2017/06/20/10-reasons-mormons-domin...

Many ways to deal with this. 1) fake wallets (give them a key to some coins but not all) 2) multisig - someone else has to provide the other half of the key or what you can give them is worthless etc

The total value of all currency right now is far higher than the value of all the gold - if there was some sort of rush back to gold the price increase would be tremendous

why are they not updating the value?

you don't have to move that far to escape all that. Plenty of areas an hour away from San Jose that are nice and a lot cheaper (still more expensive than Texas or Florida, sure).

Yeah that's a pretty well known case, specific to Litecoin. Also crypto has come a long way since 2016

Even if we're at the same home price / income ratio as 2008, a big difference is mortgage rates. In 2008 a 30 year was 5.5%-6.5%. Now it's 3%. So we aren't yet near 2008 levels of mortgage payment / income ratio

I keep several tarantulas and a few other spiders, and they are absolutely fascinating! Your description of the spider waving its arms and running from side to side makes me think it was likely a jumping spider. This group of spiders have l

The main use case I've always seen is to use bloom filters on the client side to reduce traffic to the server looking things up. As you said, you could cache 250 million integers in a gigabyte - but you don't want to bloat your cl

Same here, we bought a new Subaru Crosstrek the end last year. Looking at the depreciation curve we found that the car didn't really depreciate more the first couple years than it did later years, so going for a new one made a lot mor

San and French lines have been separated by 50-100k years at least, right? So if Denisovans are more different from Neanderthals than that, why do you think the Denisovan bone was from a Modern x Neanderthal instead? Also, if you did find

We have plenty of Neanderthal genetic sequences. So seeing even just one Denisovan sequence showing a large divergence from all the other Neanderthal sequences is enough to demonstrate a separate, distinct population.

Each block still mints 2 new eth, in addition to tips (which should always remain small, even as base fee rises).

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying. I don't think there's any problem with the money being burned. > nothing is "lost" or "burned" That "specific" Eth is gone. I say "specific"

This change burns the "base fee" instead of giving it to miners, which means it goes to nobody and is gone forever

I'd say the real "problem" with spending on yachts and other luxuries is that it takes real value to make - skilled labourers and valuable materials going to something that doesn't provide that much human happiness. Not
