In short, "validators" (which replace miners) put up some crypto, and in return get to validate transactions.

If a validator approves a fraudulent transaction (as determined by other validators), they lose their stake.

There are so many better crypto-currencies. Better for the environment because they use proof-of-stake, and not proof-of-work. Better for users because transactions are confirmed in seconds, not hours, and without the ridiculous fees that Bitcoin has.

I think this shows how truly powerful the network effect, and being first to market is. Because without those things, Bitcoin would be nothing.

Isn't that how you calculate a company's market cap?

That will also tank with significant selling.

A bigger issue to me, would be we don't know how much BTC is lost due to wallets being inaccessible.

In theory, this would never get to trial.

I sold my bitcoin at 6k when I lost my job. IDK how I feel.

I do have a side-project that I would love to finish up and monetize. It's a personal budgeting application (think YNAB, Every dollar, etc.)

I coded up a proof of concept. It's been neglected for a few weeks, but having a partner would definitely be the kick I need to continue working on it.

This is definitely side-project territory. I am not looking at spending more than 10hrs a week on this until and unless it is successfully monetized.

I still can’t believe that Apple doesn’t make this super easy.

Have you gone through it?

My cats (kittens, really) couldn't care less about it.

Not all restaurants have their own website, but a lot do, and you can order online there.

Thanks... I've had bloody stools before, (I'm 32), but when the doctor checked, they found a fissure, which I guess was good enough for them to explain the bleeding... Well, now the symptoms are back, and no fissure to be found, so I'm seeing a gastroenterologist tomorrow. Fingers crossed, but I'm thinking I'll get to find out how painless a colonoscopy really is.

Can you expand on why a database would be more well suited?

It seems to me that if the goal is to track changes over time, git is very well suited to that.

Yes! See https://twitter.com/josevalim/status/1304399735445426176

With the way these companies advertise, they make it seem like a silver bullet for internet anonymity. Almost every YouTube video I've seen recently seems to have one as a sponsor, and I am sure they are picking up many non-technical customers.

I don't think users of NordVPN, ExpressVPN, MullvadVPN et al. are as sophisticated as you think.

My intent was to say that PragerU is partisan propaganda, not a source for definition.

At best, someone could use it as part of an adversarial process at arriving at the truth, but the author doesn't do that. They take the definition at face value. (A ridiculous definition at that).

I wouldn't use PETA for my definition of factory farming.

So yes, if you aren't able to find a non-partisan definition , then I assume the whole piece is partisan, and therefore lacking credibility.

All credibility is lost when she links to PragerU for her definition of intersectionality.

Besides that, by her own logic of free speech, people have a right to call for boycotts/cancellations, do they not?

Free speech for me, not for thee?

I drink coffee less than once a month... All I get is anxiety instead of any effectiveness

But then you enter into a dangerous deflationary cycle.

Seriousish question: Is there any linux distro (or option) to use Mac style shortcuts?

I know "stimulus" is in the CNN title, but I really hate that term.

If the money is going towards rent and necessities, its not stimulus, its a life-line.

Same. Expecting 1 more iteration of the intel 16"

Deaths, but also hospitalizations.

They see it as ransom.

MMT states that taxes are what creates demand for the currency.

Assume that the Fed is just printing money... pretty soon, people will get wise that this money is worthless, and use something else. By taxing in the same currency, people need that money, and that creates demand (and hence value).

Taxes are necessary to avoid the devaluation of the currency (this is what inflation is).

I got really excited about discovering a new progamming language, Phyton, for a second... but after some searching, I think that's just a typo

Tried to email, but it bounced.

As a senior level software engineer, I am passionate about creating quality applications by writing quality code. I have experience with software languages ranging from Elixir, to Haskell, to Java. I believe in writing simple, easy to ready code with a strong emphasis on maintainability. I also have experience in helping junior engineers to grow, and have accomplished this by pair-programming, code reviews, and giving one-on-ones.

I think he means "Individual Contributor". i.e., not management.

There have been a few attempts at a life coach kind of app. None of them done well I think.
