kool_newt,

Consensus algorithms lie at the foundation for a great many of the backend systems our internet depends on, massive scaling would be a near impossibility without them. – me, a 25 year backed engineer

It makes absolute sense that a massively scalable trustless system involving money would use a consensus algorithm with a large number of nodes.

kool_newt,

it’s almost certainly not

kool_newt,

but a bank’s opinion, that’s fact

kool_newt,

An NFT is a deed. Do you see any uses for a deed that is not in control of a central authority?

kool_newt,

Imagine if you will… the dollar (cash) was invented today, up until now all there was was long-established crypto currency.

Suddenly there’s all sorts of scams where crooks trick people out of their dollars. Others are getting straight robbed and have no recourse to get their cash back. Cops often don’t believe you as you have little evidence of the $1000 you just had. Yet others are getting scammed by “banks” that disappear soon after accepting deposits as there is no state regulation.

What you’re seeing is not a problem inherent in crypto-currency or blockchains, it’s a new tool. Many new tools are used most effectively by “the bad guys” first. Even look at Mp3s, the first 5 years of their existence their purpose was basically to rob record companies. Are mp3s a scam?

Don’t let banks and authorities convince you that one of the most effective weapons against them is a scam against you. You don’t think the banks are telling you the truth… this time… right?

kool_newt,

IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

YES!!!

The only thing you’re not getting quite right is what it means to be “illegal” and whether the groups making this decision have anyone’s interest in mind except their own.

When doing right is or becomes illegal because our country is run by a fascist, that “illegal” money will save lives.

kool_newt,

Of course! You have access to actual evidence and not articles directly or indirectly funded by those who would be harmed by moving away from the current system. And of course you’ve considered it without bias or influence from that group. You are not being propagandized to, no way.

kool_newt,

And of course, the dollar, and Wall St. use no electricity whatsoever!

Also, your comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge on even the basics on this topic.

A 'radical' approach of tackling homelessness in Spain: give every person living on the street a home - (video, 8 min) (www.euronews.com)

First developed in the US, the initiative known as Housing First, is being adopted increasingly in Europe. Unlike traditional approaches, it doesn’t require individuals to meet certain criteria before receiving housing assistance. The idea is that homeless individuals have a higher chance of creating a brighter future for...

kool_newt,

This reduces the threat of failure capitalists depend on for effective exploitation.

kool_newt,

Disarm the poors! Only our oppressors should have the option of lethal self-defense!

kool_newt,

Idk I need to get insurance for my car because it might hurt someone. I think this makes sense and is a good step. You have a right to own guns but no one said it would be cheap.

This brings up a whole other tangent that I’ll ignore for now (the necessity of needing a car and it not being a right, and having to pay for it) – but a dangerous item/toy etc and a gun, i.e. a fundamantal means of self defense, should be treated differently by law in a country that claims to be free.

kool_newt,

Ideally, but shits crazy. I’m a transgender woman and like a third of this country proudly wants me dead and some of them are willing to make it happen.

kool_newt,

Ya, I brandished my weapon and 100 million people said “whoa there partner!”.

kool_newt,

I love RadicalReviewer’s cute little dog.

kool_newt,

You’re making Rudy look bad, he was sober for years! (prior to 1953 I hear).

kool_newt,

Just throwing some thoughts out there

  • fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 and mount doesn’t see it – did you perhaps unplug it and replug it causing potential renumeration?
  • Use the dmesg command to watch Linux detect the device
  • Use cat /proc/partitions to see the kernels view of storage devices
  • Check out the /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/by-partlabel etc and see how the point to each other

e.g.

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 25 19:46 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root -> …/…/sda2

Arno Penzias: Nobel laureate who co-discovered 'echo of Big Bang' dies aged 90 (physicsworld.com)

The cosmologist Arno Penzias, who discovered the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with Robert Wilson, died on 22 January at the age of 90. He shared a half of the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics with Wilson, with the other half awarded to Pyotr Kapitsa for his work in low-temperature physics....

kool_newt,

Aww man! I have a big picture of Penzias and Wilson and their antenna in my living room. I always loved their story.

kool_newt,

I got a pepperoni pizza like that once.

kool_newt,

In a two person/two party race a comment denigrating one candidate effectively promotes the other (this is math, not my opinion).

Like, what was admiralshat’s purpose in making that comment? To make liberals look bad? Who does that benefit? Republicans, even though nobody mentioned them.

It it was a meaningless comment, it’s a real dangerous type of comment to make as we’re about to slide into fascism.

kool_newt,

Well you seem to be upset that Biden isn’t taking a leftist position on the railroad strike, so it appears that way. You’re taking the standard tankie position (tankies are not known for independent thought) so I’m arguing against you as such.

If Trump was president, a sarcastic comment like “But remember, Biden is “the most pro Union President in History”” wouldn’t even make sense because Trump would be expected to end the strike and much worse.

You’re effectively pushing towards Trump, I wonder is that intentional, or due to a lack of understanding the situation?

Can I ask, what is the goal of hoping Biden loses and apparently encouraging people to abstain from voting? Do you want Trump for president? Do you think Trump will be better than Biden? Are you an accelerationist? Do you think that if Biden loses that means Trump also loses and capitalism and genocide end? I don’t get it. Oh I know what it is, you see Trump and Biden as equal because you’re privileged and it doesn’t matter to you the LGBT people will suffer so long as you see the U.S. move toward becoming dictatorship you for some reason view as communist.
