Personally, I wouldn't say that was the whole point of it. As far as I know (and that ain't much -- I'm not an expert), bitcoin's fundamental contribution was solving "The Byzantine Generals' Problem"[0] i

This is bad. Like, really bad. That "feature" of bitcoin has added more complications to the network than it is worth, IMO. Either the law's gotta change, or miners are going to start being prosecuted. ... or, the bitcoin dev

I do believe that China's unmanned lander is real. I don't believe that the US manned landings were real. Here is more elaboration than I had planned: I came to the conclusion that the landings were faked by my own reasoning. I gr

On the contrary, I reasoned myself into believing the moon landing was a hoax, and I have yet to be presented with acceptable evidence that contradicts my theory. Obviously, I have stricter criteria for "evidence" than what the ge

Really good point. In this era of asymmetric warfare, it seems that the United States is now playing the part of the British during the Revolutionary War. If the enemies of the US can force it to overspend to maintain its positions, then ev

Yeah, but who's to say that real cities aren't just cellular automata? They kind of look that way from space.

You've raised a really good point with this. Honestly, the whole "right to be forgotten" thing is utter BS. Might as well call it "the memory hole act". Or better yet, "the right to silence the opposition"

OK, but what the parent is suggesting is that someone might store someone's personally identifiable information on "the blockchain", thus making the entire bitcoin network in violation of GDPR. It's a fairly on-point cri

Glad to know you're fighting; sad to hear we lost. But maybe the war is not yet over. I think what we've really lost, and continue to lose, is respect . But that's just the respect from those above us in the mythical hierarc

"Fake news" was in the lexicon well before pizzagate, which you can see in the link. The point I'm trying to make is that the phrase "fake news" was pushed in place of the phrase "pizzagate", and this
