What would breaking them up even mean? I feel we would be in the same situation as brexit - How do we split them without collapsing all the pieces? You can point to microsoft but modern american has brought an entirely different, much larger, more entrenched behemoths than what we've seen.

This brings up the question - What is the role of government?

Ensure contracts are upheld, to harm bad actors (via prison, fines, etc.) and to protect us from foreign invasion.

so, where did that fall apart in our current American system and what can we do to save our democracy? As the article has hinted at, regulation has gotten too esoteric for a bipartisan split in congress. When you have almost 500 people arguing about the use of SPACS for going public, limits on PPE loan, rights of citizens and business in regard to the pandemic, etc. etc.

John adams said 'God forbid we be 20 years from [..] a rebellion.'

We as Americans need a bit more of a centralized system and move a bit more towards an oligarchy. Same things that plagued the roman republic (Bipartisan politics) are plaguing our system. Augustus' answer? bring it down to him and 30 other people who where the most important people from each 'area' and the only thing that gave him more power than the rest was the fact the he was the only member who didn't rotate. Otherwise, it still came down to voting albeit with a forum that allowed for open discussion without rambling into nonsense and listing to 500 people say the same thing over and over.

Eth can uphold contracts

This comment didn't age well.. Actually rather quickly.

Secrets is a very lose term here. I'm sure some wall street dudes would pay millions to get the emails of congress members. Also, just because the computers locked doesn't mean i can't copy a hard drive...

hmmm... The fact that this comment is being downvoted shakes my believe in HN. Fair statements, fraud did occur.

The fact that a standing presidents twitter account was banned is also very unamerican, no matter what he's saying.

It's not about whether the 'election was stolen' and the court cases weren't in regard to 'fraud'. The court cases were on whether or not the federal government had the right to audit the state votes. The court cases decided that no, you can't. The states have all the power to run their own elections on their own accord, fraud be damned.

Just because someone's wearing a police uniform doesn't meant they are cops. Everyone just believed they were cops.

Interesting that this is on the front page but what's the hundreds of thousands of people currently protesting in DC is not.

What happened last time? Did he invest alot at the top in 2017?

> With unusual characteristics (especially the use of outputs from transactions being used as inputs to new transactions without much confirmation depth on the chain)

I'd love to hear more thoughts on this. I'm new to crypto but what are your thoughts on the reasoning here, fraud?

Also, what would explain the creation of so many yellows?

crypto mining, or stacking bricks with a crane.

wait... what? Do you have any resources where i can learn more about this? There's enough radiation in the atmosphere to forever alter the composition of steel going forward?

I read both articles but it isn't very convincing. He goes on to point out the 150 different companies and projects that solve the same things as bitcoin/ eth. However, instead of a million different 'endpoints' there's one its self-contained. You have this extremely powerful technology that has the ability to do all of these different things that have taken hundreds of thousands of people 20 years to make. Eth has done that in 7 years with a fraction of the resources. As adoption grows so will the development speed.

You talking about safety?
