Yes. I've wondered about this for a while. Because although the microwave is supposed to be fully shielded, when I take EMF readings on it with my TriField TF2 EMF meter, it's spitting out >100mW/m^2 when it's turned on. And I've seen this happen with just about every microwave I've tried this on. The only ones that haven't seem to be those expensive integrated under-counter ones where the tray slides out rather than opens like a door. Also my phone still works/receives calls when I put it in there, so it can't be as good of a faraday cage as it's supposed to be...
Is anyone aware of an attempt to make an infinite hexagonal library of code in the same vain?
Crypto is not a zero sum game, because money is being printed in the Forex markets all the time, which bleeds into the crypto markets. There is a lag time, called the Cantillon effect, between when money enters circulation, and the arrival of downstream purchasing power inflation.
Just went to apply, but seems they shut down the stipend applications for now because of overwhelming interest.
Why won't banks provide loans?
seconded. I would definitely use this, but only if I knew none of the text content was being shuttled to another server
Wow, thanks for your input. How much different was it 10 years ago?
How does this belong on Hacker News?
Why would this be happening? This seems to make their platform even more useless.
Apparently the particles need to be relativistic, maybe the Sun doesn't generate enough acceleration compared to the central galactic supermassive black hole?
How is trustless digital programmable peer-to-peer monetary transaction not a great solution to the antiquated, corrupt status quo?
What are the limits to how big the blocks can grow?
off chain how? wouldn't that compromise decentralization and censorship resistance?

Will this make ZEC obsolete once it's established on Eth's network?
If you're already in handcuffs, can't they just as easily get your fingerprint?
> It's lost work though, and the amount of work is governed only by the level of competition with other miners, rather than the amount of effort involved insome external task
It's the cost of securing the network. It's not lost. Fees and rewards pay the miners for the cost of their computing cycles, to provide a secure, very difficult (near impossible) to attack network.
This is a really good point. Why would anyone spend their crypto on amazon if it could be worth 30% more in a week?
Once Bitcoin gets linked up with Litecoin, lightning network, and atomic swaps, seems like it will become more viable as a payment channel. It still beats me, however, as to why anyone would by anything with it if it might be worth twice as much in 6 months. Of course, it could also be worth half as much.
What about all the oil it takes to produce the turbines?
I do not understand the hype about Snapchat... Doesn't IG do everything and more?
Szabo sure seems like Satoshi. Interesting that they bash Litecoin though.
One legged good mornings. Jefferson Curls. Ido Portal. Get good bodywork, thai massage/get a friend to grab handfulls of skin along your bones and pull and wiggle it. Make room for your tissues.

So algorithms, thermometers, and neural nets are all conscious?
Glad to see Ayahuasca get at least a passing mention here.
