an added negative aspect of going further down the banning path is: it lessens the need (or signal) to improve education, or does it not? Not talking about the theory part of education, more the parts that are not handled well in schools li

I’ve had some thoughts in that direction. Super interesting! I thought about it for jokes, as the reaction is quick (just system 1 and very maybe for more complex jokes it’s system 2 understanding the joke and then system 1 laughing… but th

price stability has it own set of problems. If a good was regulated to have a stable price nobody would be incentivized to find a clever solution to solve a future crisis with high demand for that good

in the beginning of the 21st century, some said cars are not for the masses. They were hard to start for example . You would get your hands dirty and needed some power to turn that hand crank. When those problems got solved and more cars go

true, but what you then loose is “natural selection”. Why? Because either a new standard is not allowed. Or it is allowed, but then highly probably just one… and the central planning way. One standard/product is worked on, one is accep

did you really mean 25% faster or 4x faster? If you really meant 25% you probably were not reffering to the clock speed/MHz, what were referring to?

the question is how long. For example the flash you have/had on standard camera (not smartphone who have LEDs, but the standard compact camera that is just a camera) is about 1kW!! But this 1kW you have it for about 1ms (milisecond!!).

kind of, but also not really, or at least not the same amount or type of regulation. DeFi is like many new things, it is it’s own new category (a car is not just a fast horse or the internet was not just a better fax machine). For example:

my short answer would be: bad at punctuality. Frequent delays bigger than 10min. France for example is better at punctuality IMO. But granted: smaller population density, therefore less stops needed in rural areas. And lower population dens

Decentralization doesn't scale well, that is sure. But humans are inventing new tools to improve the decentralization over time, give new options. Sometimes the jumps are bigger, sometimes smaller. Regarding decentralized email: there
