Fuck dang, time to cycle residential proxies.
That said, see sibling comments about fineness. In addition to being fine in the shiny variety, starship is a portly fellow. It will be able to land in anything less than a hurricane.
What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens.
See:
-YouTube thumbnail controversy, vs what people actually click on
-/r/apple and other comment section’s obsession with the commercially-failed mini lineup of iPhones
-everyone says ads don’t work on them, but ads work
I could go on
Also, starship has more pressurized volume than a 747. You can fit a lot of people.
This means you can spend more fuel/be less efficient overall for a much more comfortable acceleration profile.
In terms of safety, starship will fly hundreds, perhaps thousands of times before people fly on them. They'll get there.
Meanwhile the bazillion petabytes on the world's synology NAS run fine, and are BTRFS.
I think that is no longer the consensus. We have corporations that rival governments now.
No chance at all while BTC remains top dog (in market cap)
It's only been months aways for a few months though. I have endured years of gaslighting comments like this _specifically_ from this asymmetrically moderated community, despite knowing for example in 2017 that PoS was years away. The "maybe this year" started in Jan 2020. COVID happened. They didn't start saying "within a year" again until end of 2021.
Meanwhile the _beacon_ chain launched in 2020, which is what's taking over for the PoW chain in ... 1 hour.
Maybe you're acting in good faith and you misheard that the beacon chain was launching 2 years ago and thought that was this. But how likely is that really?
That said, I fundamentally disagree that crypto is "overall negative", and with the move to PoS the largest negative aspect of crytpo (the environmental cost of PoW) goes away.
EDIT: I'm rate limited/soft banned so I can't reply to most of you/anyone until tomorrow. While I can still edit:
-Cash is the ultimate scammer currency, it would take a ages for crypto to match or replace cash as the best "scam" currency"
-Privacy =/= laundering. Privately transacting is not implicitly a crime.
-Crypto has value as trustless value transfer outside the nation-state system, especially in these uncertain times
-Smart contracts are criminally undervalued. Programmable money is the future.
This is _extremely_ difficult to do, as a mix of both incentive structures and poor policy lead to any death with a positive PCR test being counted as a COVID death.
It's practically impossible now to go back and figure out how many were _actually_ "killed by COVID" vs "died _with_ COVID".
There's also the problem of governments playing funny games around deaths and "vaccinated". Someone who died from an adverse reaction immediately following their shot would not count as a vaccinated death, because the _definition_ of "vaccinated" meant you completed the vaccine schedule which was multiple shots over time.
A mixer concealing the public address of clean money is not nefarious in any way and should be perfectly legal.
How is HN so consistently cryptophobic?
Imagine the reaction you’d get here suggesting say, E2EE is “explicitly a product for {crime}”. You’d be rightly mocked, but throw in crypto and it’s like 75% of the people here lose basic reasoning skills. I’d be less frustrated if it wasn’t so common.
That’s like saying TLS was designed to protect CP.
Privacy =/= laundering
Privacy =/= laundering.
Tornado is/should be perfectly legal to use to pay IRL vendors without revealing the entire contents of your hot/cold wallets.
It’s also useful to move money between hot/cold wallets safely.
The biggest problem remaining is cost, $20k+ for a 24 SEER heat pump is just bonkers.
And that's the crux of it. Donald neglected to understand that most programmers will takeaway "optimization is bad" and all the subtleties of his point will be lost.
Then we get things like electron (ducks for cover)
