I mean, if one party pushes for use of blockchain, you’d just need to trust that specific system (algorithm, network…) and not explicitly the party pushing for it.
I also wouldn’t call it power ‘waste’ since it does useful work - confirmation. It may be more inefficient compared to a centralized authority though. There are other ways of doing confirmations than proof-of-work as well, though each have their own drawbacks - just like a centralized system does,
Bad research based on subjective opinion? I dont see how anyone would see blockchain in itself as useless. It provides a verification method without the use of a centralized system. Are all peer-to-peer systems useless now? Its not to be used as a tool for everything. It will not fix everything. I’d be more interested in research of what happens when reactionary practices are used. Such as using blockchain just because it’s the hot new trend without thoroughly thinking about the consequences of such actions. blockchain = bad / blockchain = good is not good enough, each implementation needs to be studied independently and answers derived from that. Replace blockchain with AI and it’s the same.
Nothing bad about it. I’m a big proponent of voting with ya wallet. I usually vote no :p
Haven’t pirated a game since 2008. The same year i made a steam account. Coincidence?
You’re not gonna like this but that is voting with your wallet! They are voting yes since they are paying for it. The truth is, we are in the minority. The majority still finds Netflix affordable.
Yup. This shit is getting old. Context people. Context.
I mean, crazy people are everywhere. The more users, the more crazy people. Less users, less crazy.
Yeah. It’s better now that it’s not in the public eye or as popular. Still no porn tho :/
Yup. My bet as well. People love to place achievements and advancements in technology on one person while in reality there’s always a team behind it. The reality is things have gotten so complex, its damn near impossible for one person to make a breakthrough themselves without building on the work of someone else or fragmenting the work and have it be done by multiple people.
They do that here. Except too bright isn’t seen as a fault.
So I just click commit and it works? Wow, this is easy!
Oxymoron maybe? Why would we click on things we don’t like? Try new not bad thumb and get clicks or do we all just hate ourselves and want to see the worst content ever made?
Tech illiteracy will happen to most everyone, get off your high horses. Replace lead with microplastics or some shit for future generations. I’m sure the next generations will hate gen Y/Z just the same.
Not write it down on a post it and recycle it with the rest of paper products only for the gmen to go through your thrash and find it?
I mean communism is about a classless stateless society right? Workers unite, everyone is equal, from each according to his ability and all that… Where in the ideology does it state LGBT groups don’t fit this bill? I’m not using the not real commies excuse, I’m saying the fact they were communist and non inclusive of other members of the working class is contradictory.
Communism discriminates class, nothing else.
Until some locked down tv/console type device asks me for a password.
Then they weren’t commies but went with the leading regime and pushed their own agenda.
I think they ment a counter like 1…2…3… Not a counter you approach that seats an employee.
Ironically, you need to always allow cookies and let all sites have your browsing data and build a profile on you. Then you will get ads tailored to you. The fact that you don’t, points in the direction that websites don’t have much data on you…
For the US, id certainly agree with you. College is free here and some employers require it (less and less though). A coworker once told me a degree shows you can be serious for one thing and see it through. It shows you are capable of achieving a goal.
