Scarcity itself does not imply value, something can be scarce but if no one wants it it still has no value. So the question needs to be what really drives the value of something like Bitcoin? In my opinion, I think that Bitcoin derives its

I know for a fact that McDonald's beef burgers, at least in North America, have a single ingredient: beef. They go directly from source grind to patty maker to freezer, nothing is added.

This can actually vary depending on where you are in the world. There are places, like Canada, where the term engineer has a specific definition under the law, and it includes things such as professional ethics and liability.

You are correct. And if two crews in 5 months had the same issue either identifying or dealing with the same problem, then perhaps there is an design or training problem error here.

What if we all share the same consciousness, but are simply unable to comprehend it? To me the idea that all concious entities are in fact shared is comforting, because it implies that what we do with our lives will always be remembered.

The question is actually "at what cost?" Sure, all things being equal thinner/lighter is great. BUT, what trade off's are being made in the name of thinness? If you need to sacrifice 50% expected lifetime to make some

IMO monkey-patching built-in classes is idiomatic Ruby! Edit to add: Actually, now that I think about it, using method_missing would have been even better!

Really? So apple intended to ship non-flat tablets? What is the rational for intentionally making only some of these non-flat? What advantage or innovation does the non-flatness of a certain percentage of ipad's allow? I mean it

Replace the word blockchain with database and describe how your example works any differently. I'll give you a hint: it doesn't. There is nothing in your example that requires the use of a blockchain. If that beef was tracked

Using a private blockchain has the same issue of trusting a third party. As soon as someone has control of who can write to the ledger, you need to trust them, period.

Why are people so eager to leap from computer OS's (MacOS or even Windows) to these walled gardens like iOS? I can't imagine developing software on iOS, because you know the deployment procedure will be straight to the app store.

Immutable data storage does not require blockchain, period. Using blockchain because you need immutable storage is like using a helicopter to cross the street. Yes it works, but they are way more simple, efficient and straightforward tech
