Not being depended on craftsman for small things like fixing your toilet safes you a lot of stress in my experience. Not problems with appointments, no waiting, no arguing in case if improper work, no other people in your home.

But you can't order Pizza (or drugs) with Bitcoin anymore. And I don't see much of use case of a currency that can't do that. Without adoption a fiat currency like bitcoin is not worth anything. Even gold can do that better.

Inside of one coin hashpower makes the winner, because the chain with the most accumulated difficulty wins. It makes sense to transfer this to the relation of different coins. currently BTC wins, but if miners would stick to bch this might

It seems there is currently more hashpower behind BCH than BTC. [1] Because of the current price surge mining bch became way more profitable, but this will change with the next adjustment. If more hashpower sticks with BCH, I would consider

It does not change anything substantial about the web today. It will just be a saner output format for compilers than javascript. Unless you write compilers, nothing changes. It does not matter weather your language compiles to JS or WASM,

No, is not like that. Both the calf to the cow and bch (bcc ?) to btc are "intrinsic". They are the result of the nature of these things. Not gifts, not accidents, not abritrary. And coinbase keeps the bch (as they announced), so

Math is not about proofing something, or creating a as big as possible collection of lemmas. Math is about creating structures that can use as tools to solve problems. And problem solving is a task done by humans, so math is only useful if

>The real question seems to be legally whether BCH is a gift to those owning BTC or those possessing it. In Bch is not a gift. Who should have gifted it? Who is the previous owner? How did the previous owner aquire it? It is a "fruc

>You don't own Bitcoin if you don't control the keys. That's wrong, and obviously so. That concept is "possession" and not "ownership". What they write in their ToS doesn't matter, it does not chan

Edited my comment to make it clearer. There is a difference between ownership and possion. Technically (in the meaning "how it is realized in computer code") bcc is given to the person possessing btc. But by the law the owner is e

Of course. The Bitcoins are still mine, even i keep them in a coinbase wallet. (ownsership vs perssesion). Now every btc owner gets bcc. The owner is me, not coinbase. I gave the persession of by btc to coinbase to trade them eventually, n

Maybe we can use the brute force of a "math superoptimizer" to "compress" it to something far more reasonable. If we teach said opimizer what structures are well understood by humans we might actually understand at last

They can have any stand they want. But they deny me my property. Imagine a bank anouncing they would keep all the dividends of one particular stock, because the didn't like it. That's what coinbase is doing. It plain and simply th

I don't understand why bitcoin is afraid of hardforks. Ethereum hard forks like there is no tomorrow, and so far the number of major block-chain-splits is equal, two. The offical implementation not forking does by no means prevent anyb

I get a teaching degree. Every discipline as it's own formating requirements. For CS and Physics things have to look good, but there is not too much specified. Everybody uses TeX, length is measured in characters, not pages, usually th

It's typesetting DSL, but if you want to typeset you'd need a typesetting meta-DSL. The one thing that works fine with TeX is math, because math typesetting is build in. Typesetting something more specific other than english text

I want to belive, but i have seen serveral TeX alternatives (Such as ANT [1][2] and Rhinotype[3]), but they all die very quickly. Esp. ANT would have been a fantastic improvement. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/2009031

Namespaces are the least of my worries. TeX is not a programming language, it's two programming languages. These languages have a self modifying syntax and is parsed with state machines that can be changed. Changing the syntax into som

I'm not sure, but doesn't the opensuse build service tries to solve these problems? I haven't used it, but I think i slurps source code and builds packages for multiple distributions. And I absolutely agree with Linus view on
