Very true, the vision of the system may alter a little bit, if in the future there are commercial sponsors. Every new version will have to be more conservative, so as not to break compatibility, development will slow down, more bureuocracy

He may as well be a millionaire in the future. By having a platform that people use you do get a minimal amount of bug fixing and stability of the platform. Lichess is a platform for companies to use it for their purposes with some tweaks h

I think all the brain matter can be composed by the body itself, indcluding DHA or DHEA. It is just easier to get big quantities from exogenous sources. The world champion of chess, Carlsen, comes from Norway where they produce the most sal

Exactly that. Science can never tell us what is a worthy purpose to pursuit. Say for example we want to decapitate all of the HN crowd. Science provides us, with overwhelming evidence that an axe is the way to go, and not say a fork. Anyone

Human fraud is not an easy problem to solve. Micropayments can enable a fraudster to commit microfrauds, and by the time someone else finds about it, it's too late. The incentive of internet companies to solve it is huge, i however arg

Consumers are different with one another. I would gladly pay, for something i like, a bit more money to have some luxuries. A faster car may be it, or maybe i pay to lichess, to pair me for a game with good players, so as not to be cheated

Yeah of course, but that's and IOU, it is not a micropayment. Transaction means that the money/tokens are transferred right away. In the example i gave with the light technician happens the same thing. He completes his work and it

At the gaming industry, noone i know of that plays chess has implemented this. At Lichess there millions and billions of games played each month and they don't pay with micropayments for each game. Other chess websites charge monthly f

I second that. Stdlib is great to get a feel how the language works. Some small programs are always the best, if they are written by a good programmer. A cli game i study right now but in Rust. A small program with a lot of logic, but witho

The truth of the matter is that all wars are the result of economic incentives. As a Greek i can assure you that almost all the wars of Greece to everyone else, and of Romans, were the result of gaining profit. Just like slavery stopped bec

Well that 99% percent statement was not meant to be read absolutely seriously, but many news outlets take out of context, sentences of the political opposition all the time. I am sorry, but half the truth, is half the lie and not half the t

Actually in the 1978 that published some controversial publications i was not even born yet. However Ron is saying that they were taken out of context. Authoritative news usually do that, that's why 90% of the time they spread fake ne

I listen to Ron Paul all the time, not even once i have listened him to be racist or hateful to anyone, or advocate for violence. Actually this is what i dislike him the most, that he is too peaceful, almost against all wars. Other subjects

Considering that censorship maybe helps with the reduction of the lies, it does currently a very poor job. 60minutes posted their totally fabricated video of Schiff, on Twitter and Youtube. It is well on air on both platforms, with hundreds

Yeah, i confess there is a tiny little probability that blockchain doesn't solve all of the worlds problems. But when we can have documents that absolutely no human can alter, then that human doesn't have absolute power, so it mea

Well, when there are some official documents that spawn huge controversy, in a big company or a nation or whatever, and no one ever does destroy some evidence, or distort them in some way beneficial to him, then indeed blockchain isn't

Of course.

If a person distrusts always anything, from anyone, from anywhere then it is true that blockchain doesn't provide any solution. However blockchain can make it more difficult, for a corrupt official to change some official documents, o

Someone has to feel sorry for Btc. Many people are going to lose money. Bitcoin has value. It is only Btc people that took a very nice technology and crippled it. The put a cap in it's block size, and they removed instructions of the B

The electronic money that are known now as bitcoin, took a different turn from the white paper of Satoshi. That's why i said the electronic cash Bitcoin, not the currency Bitcoin. Some people wanted to take that electronic cash idea, a

Yeah, that's all true, that users sometimes think of something as useful and it is not. Nothing to be done about it, except education. But let's say some users want of an open source program to integrate some graphs somewhere. The

Well if a company wants to give a large sum of money to an open source project for a feature, say a hundred dollars, or a thousand then it is the same. Electronic cash, i.e. bitcoin work better than the traditional ways of payment when ther
