I didn't take a stance at all.

I said exactly what would happen and that the tests exist.

> and why should we believe they're the most effective?

Whoever gave you that idea?

That practice has nothing to do with how the world is changed.

I believe most charities practice this, I saw a presentation on it with a bunch of accredited investors, don't have the source.

You can't will your alternate reality into existence.

yes, and so does orphans

How many simulations would you like, we already know large blocks propogate fine and at some point they will introduce orphans to a less optimized part of the network

A lot of charities do like 5% nonprofit stuff and 95% for profit

Despite ideals it makes your rebuttal moot

Very nice, on reddit people suggested they donate the interest alone like University endowments do

They could buy a bunch of masternodes because those are dividend producing assets in the cryptocurrency space

The yields should be pretty good

People that hear about our software service always ask "hey whats to stop people from doing this illegal thing on your platform" and I say "a sternly worded Terms of Service"

Well although I have TSA Pre, and you should too, I can give your argument some merit.

Yes one thing I like about trains - their ONLY redeeming quality - is that if the trip says 2 hours, then it is really JUST 2 hours out of your day

Whereas with flights, if the trip says 2 hours then it is more like 4 and a half hours out of your day. Always have to consider showing up to the airport at least an hour early, always have to consider going to the edge of town, always have to consider sitting on the tarmac, etc.

I could see the utility of getting to skip all of this at a fixed price which is NEAR the normal prices. The next thing up is Jetsmarter for $10,000+

Yes it was a comment about how unappealing this is, we do the same thing whenever somebody else here brags about the tech solution which lacks product market fit.

Shopping for a home has to appeal to people that are in the market for a home. The phrasing is not exclusive to buying versus renting, but colloquially thats what it implies. People in the bay area currently on the market wouldn't be looking for this, it would be the new and naive next year and the year after that may wind up considering this. The current market is people that can make down payments on million dollar+ mortgages and that doesn't include living in the carcass of a suburban mall.

The flight tomorrow is $59. January 11th. I only looked because the entire spiel ran counter to my prior experiences. Direct on Delta, Virgin America, Alaska, etc. Oh wow the same day ones later today are the same price!

I know we are splitting hairs because this isn't always the case, and what you offer is intended to always be the case along with being possibly shorter flights with quicker checkins.

I just think the messaging is a little off because the way it is described doesn't really solve people's problems, especially when they will be so often debunked.

This runs counter to all of my luxury aspirations in America

But I did consider doing a stint at the top of the Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin

I think I'll stick to my existing aspirations of "get your funds up". Success for me will be getting called a douchebag because of my far-future son or daughter's car, without any further context of my character or in person actions. Then I will feel like "yes, I've made it".

Living in the carcass of a mall won't do that.

lol SFO - LAX flights are OFTEN cheaper than that or as cheap.

Unless.... are these roundtrips? I want to assume so but that would be a bad assumption to get wrong!

Fix the site.

> but I doubt the solution involves all games performing state updates using on-chain transactions in a single, shared blockchain.

Right, and there are people working on the blockchain level with very compelling bandwidth improvement solutions.

You might find one interesting, take a look.

There are people making silly games right now on the understanding that the infrastructure they are building on will improve. These people are doing this because it helps them understand the toolkits, language and infrastrcture, which has a massive upside in their opportunities by merely exposing themselves to it now. When the infrastructure is already there, and the books exist, and the college kids are learning it at state schools, the opportunities won't be nearly as great for them. And yes, they can be wrong!

But it isn't as simple as you (and everyone other competent full stack engineer) questioning their life choices and being the only people to notice that the underlying platform has an uncompetitive limitation right now.

This is the same standard all assets are held at.

Your point is moot. That ship sailed 100 years ago.
