It's even worse than that. P2P means that connection differences between peers also makea difference. User A might see users B and C, but user B might on see A due to a connection difference between user B and C. It is very annoying to

It depends on why they have an operation loss. If they’re leasing the trademark from a Cayman island shell corporation, then that would be noteworthy.

The amount of fiat available, and it’s value is not constant so it’s not really zero sum.

P2P group video calls don’t work well unfortunately. Most people barely have enough upload bandwidth to upload one video stream. Needing to upload a stream per peer is a nonstarter for most people.

Emulating the past for success in the future is a form of idea homogenization.

Sorry, but state is everything. If you don’t have state, then you’re essentially doing useless work computing an answer that is already known. Computation is only useful because of state.

Where do they promote the product? It looks like they’re using a random http library.

What’s amazing about Dr. Suess is how much creativity and fun he packs into a very simply written book. Most children’s books are so asinine. “Sally went to the farm. She saw a pig. Sally can drive a tractor. Etc. etc.” There is rarely a po

That seems pretty crazy. What have you tried to remedy the issue? Fecal transplant?

What makes beans better than psyllium husk, which has been shown to substantially lower cholesterol?

Yes exactly. So I’m not sure how a company can change $5 a month, with their own overhead and profit margin, and still make money.

$5 a month doesn’t seem like it would work out economically with the price of GPUs. Why not buy a powerful computer and finance it?

I don’t know who in their right mind would want to be a teacher. Bad pay, hard work, ungrateful students and parents, and limited opportunities for growth.

What gives you the authority to define vernacular? Stated another way, words mean what people understand them to mean. Most people would understand crypto to mean cryptocurrency at this point, sorry. Cryptography is definitely more niche.

It’s almost like there is no collective we, just loosely associated individuals carrying out their desires to the best of their abilities.

But why conserve? If they find a use for that excess power then they could better their life or the lives of others.

Or you saved the response from a different curl request, or it’s checked into git, or a million different reasons.

It would be great if this material could help with brain damage in contact sports by making helmets better.

You can have curl read the request body from a file using --data @filename.txt.

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never had those issues. Another benefit of curl is that you have an easily searchable history of every command you’ve run. So you can easily find old invocations and rerun them.

Doesn’t curl do this just as easily?

That’s not my take at all. Many people respond with hand waving arguments: maybe epoll is faster because the benchmark is wrong, or only one file descriptor is used (which wasn’t correct but said anyway), etc. Other people also respond sayi

Manifest Destiny was basically the belief that the US was destined to span coast to coast, regardless of the Native Americans or Mexicans that stood in the way. It’s a very imperial mindset.

The video of the manufacturing process is quite interesting. A lot of human labor is involved.

So I just created a company? How can I give you some ownership right now? Are we going to email contracts to each other or something? And how would you write an option on your ownership? You're just hand waving and saying "you cou

Sure you can transfer ownership by going to a company, getting approval from the board to update the cap table, and then executing the transaction via wire transfer. Or you could do it near instantly on the blockchain. And how would you wri

This isn’t convincing, sorry. While Fukushima wasn’t that bad, it could have been terrible. It had the potential to make a large region of Japan uninhabitable and poison the food supply. That is super serious. Just because nothing bad hap

DAOs offering ownership interest via tokens is not an LLC with extra steps. It’s LLC++. An owner can easily sell their stake to someone else, write an option against it, etc. Sure, all those things were possible before, but now it’s much ea
