Can't confirm, have been running stuff on Hetzner for almost 10 years. They will indeed auto-block you if any application is spamming the private subnet - happens e.g. with IPFS running in its default config. But this always comes afte

Bitcoin would have remained the obscure crypto-economic experiment it was 10 years ago if it weren't for the rotten monetary system we have creating strong incentives to look for alternatives. I'm holding some Bitcoin for quite a

As long as we stick to the concept of nation, we likely have to live with such issues. This is how group identity works, sometimes to your advantage, sometimes to your disadvantage.

Here in Europe it's often the opposite. E.g. in Austrian cities you have decent bicycle infrastructure and everything in reach in the cities while in rural areas that's often not the case. I've been in the US once, 13 years a

That's indeed true for many DAO designs. I often wonder if those proposing such designs don't understand that or if they just don't care. It is however not inherent to DAOs. If you add identity, a lot of alternatives open up.

Are they though? I'm 38 and can't remember a situation in my life where a gun would have been useful. Not saying that I can't imagine such situations, I just find it a slightly weird example to make this point.

Lets assume the inflation remains contained in the financial sector. What does this mean e.g. for a young family with no inherited wealth, with average income and savings rate? How should they invest their savings? Isn't it more diffic

Disabling automatic updates is always one of the first things I do on a new Android phone. I would happily enable it selectively for a few Apps of my choice (e.g. the browser), but unfortunately the Play store doesn't allow that - unl

Maybe it would. Or maybe one of them would have blown up (lets say e.g. on 9.11.2001) and due to bad luck (winds not blowing onto the pacific, but towards densely populated areas during crucial hours) have rendered some major cities inhabit

I too never got this. Have learned using bare metal before AWS was around. Took a look at AWS in 2008 and decided that it was interesting, but nothing I had use for at the time. Since then, I never felt any need for it, except for a few tim

Oh yes, lets get back to discussing eugenics instead of discussing our slow descent back into feudalism which creates such issues in the first place. This discussion has already made good progress 100 years ago. Then something happened and

I also see this connection. On a game theoretical level, it doesn't pay off for the individual to make a personal effort, unless the right incentives are in place. The status quo would be a great opportunity for a drastic policy switch

I think I understand what you mean with that and agree with it in principle. However you should keep in mind that you are a person with a "business mindset". There is plenty of people out there who may well have something valuable
