Because the purpose wasn’t to lockdown third party apps, that’s just an unfortunate bystander. The purpose is to lock down API access to extract value from AI training.

You're trying to cut out the middle man in learning how to cook. It doesn't need to be complicated. Everyone who cooks knows the answers to these questions because they can remember that time their oil started smoking or they bur

Yea that's what I don't understand either. Is the plan to secure a fully-mined chain just rampant value-inflation in a way that is completely detached from supply and demand? Today my 1e-1000 bitcoin is worth 10 carrots, tomorrow

Gnome on Wayland works pretty great for me. (No issues with brightness etc). Occasionally I log into an X11 session because Wayland screen sharing doesn't work that great.

What? A few (new) trading platforms that are deliberately trying to shake up the market 'jammed'. The market itself was fine.

Well, if people are paying for it with Tether and it turns out Tether is backed by loans or other cryptocurrencies then it would be by definition artificially inflated.

The allegations were thrown out by every court they got brought to and by conservative judges as well. It's a farce and you're the sheep getting fleeced.

Twitter suspending/banning for violations of policy is discrimination in the same way barkeeps throwing unruly patrons out of the bar is discrimination.

The cycle is self-reinforcing though. As transaction fees increase to cover the cost of security (even an "altruistic" (self-interested) financial system needs to pay for energy) users are less likely to transact which is positive

Can someone explain this to me? The year is 2150 or whatever -- bitcoin is fully mined. There is a metric asston of mining hardware out there that needs to be running to secure the chain -- presumably all coming from transaction fees. Not

You can get an IP camera app and just use gstreamer to pipe it to v4l2loopback. Perfectly usable webcam available on /dev/video1.

Yes, non-blockchain transactions are much more efficient. But then what's the point of using blockchain if transactions happen off-chain?

Significantly less energy per transaction, which is the only metric that matters.

When a meter company catches someone cheating do we want them to be able to rectify in their database or fork an entire blockchain?

Just reading through the notes and there are lots of EVE terms in there. They look like they're talking about something else, a new game maybe, but I wouldn't discount it just yet. (Miners, haulers, nanite )

Yea it's a bit of a stretch. I haven't played EVE in ten years though and it was the first thing that popped into my mind. Looks like this was back in 2011 or so: http://www.verite.space/maps/influence/2

Kind of a stretch but the crossover between jaded dev/tech people and EVE Online players is high: Mostly Harmless is an old, now defunct, EVE corp. Might be someone who ran in that that might recognize him. https://www.redd

30 minutes is a bit of a trite example but if you only have say less than 10 hours a month the dollars/hour for owning your own your own hardware looks a lot worse than the subscription model.
