If something like this existed for C, then we wouldn't need to learn a new language!
Both of which (essentially the same thing - "be in a pool") require trust, which destroys a key advantage of Ethereum (and cryptocurrencies in general).
You gave one suggestion, which was based on inter-personal trust. This removes a major benefit of taking part in the Ethereum ecosystem. If it became a widespread way for people to take part in Ethereum's staking…
Under what possible scenario do I have a few k$ spare, but not 10k$ spare, to invest in a speculative asset, and also have a large number of friends and family already in exactly the same position? The only one I can…
Obviously I need to have friends who already want to invest a significant amount into Eth, otherwise I'm just "that guy" shilling some scheme to their family and friends.
If you don't have enough eth to stake, how will you persuade anyone to lend you their eth?
That's fantastic, but (like related problems, like "blocking advertising", "making your social media platform act the way you want", "setting up your desktop/IDE just right", and "debloating Android"), you have to…
That's exactly the problem. As someone who does not have access to 32 Eth, you need to trust a pool operator with your money. This is a direct parallel of issues like home and car ownership. If you're not rich enough,…
Usually because <minor> has made a prototype of an already well-established phenomenon, and the really difficult part is making a production-ready design. A bit like the "10-year-old makes a heart pump for just $10"…
But software has zero moving parts! It must be so reliable.
>EVs should by design be more reliable, since they have fewer wear&tear parts (no ICE). It's possible to make perfectly reliable software, and an unreliable screwdriver. >Reliability and simplicity goes hand in hand…
How could this be? They have so many fewer moving parts! \s
You realise there's an excellent chance that the "industry incumbents" have been aware of the switch to EVs and hybrids, and are just biding their time before Tesla's circus show collapses? It's been pretty obvious for…
Maybe after enough of these stories become common knowledge, we'll hear less of the "EVs have fewer parts and are therefore more reliable" argument. Reliability is largely a function of design and engineering choices.
>Surely a new set of common experiences increases the diversity of thought of all the participants? This statement is absurd on its face. The entire premise of the benefits of diversity (of thought and experience) is…
Talking of bizarre thought processes - how can you unify, and/or receive common training or experience, without losing some form of diversity? We all love to say how true diversity is diversity of experience. You are…
From your example - how does the military "unify" a diverse group of people? By aligning their thought processes and decision making. That is, by removing that very diversity. The two words also mean literally the…
Right. You can't have both at the same time.
I recently saw a poster for a Teachers' Union campaign, saying that "unity is our strength". Obviously both cannot be true.
I love biking because it makes me independent. Adding electronic complexity and the need to charge is the antithesis of why I own bikes. I might have to change the cable once in a while, but I don't ever have to upgrade…
>If you do > 500km riding a year it's a worthwhile upgrade IMO. Did you miss a zero? I do 500km a year, taking my kids to nursery on my beat-up old MTB.
I don't understand why people are so desperate to give reddit their time and effort. It's rubbish, move on!
Eating out in the US, especially given the quality and portion sizes, was unreasonably cheap compared to cooking your own food.
The results on the "Weekly Number of Deaths by Age" dashboard are pretty clear - Covid had little impact on the death rates in the under-44 group. This is not surprising, as every country that records this data shows…
