Then, just put the bathroom and kitchen at the core of the building and the living space at the edges of the building.

Do you have an example of an academic field of study that is less of an art and more structured than Mathematics?
Comment · 4 years ago
Mathematics is the most science and least art form possible.

Every other field of study has more artsiness than Mathematics.

However, Mathematics also still has a lot of artsiness to it.

What banks are you using, because cross border transfers take 2-5 business days.

> Even if cryptos could solve all problems that FIAT has, that does not mean it is a better solution to the problem that FIAT solves.

That sentence literally refutes itself.

No, if that wasn’t an option, then the root causes such as wasteful spending, not holding politicians accountable, student loan crisis wouldn’t even happen in the first place, because those that are committing those misdeeds currently are the same that are printing the money.

That is the case, because Engineers have a bad understand of global finance, business and money.

That’s why they don’t understand the problems that crypto is solving.

If you look at the comments here, you’ll see that many comments are saying that crypto isn’t doing anything useful.

However, crypto is literally solving the extreme problem of infinitely printable FIAT money and very slow and expensive cross-border transfers, which might be the most impfactful invention of the last 2 decades.

On top of that, crypto adds transparency, accountability, interoperability, decreases fraud in every possible market.

However, hacker news doesn’t understand that, because they simply don’t global finance, global markets, business and moneys.

Yes but it will be an empty desert with anything below 10m users, because only then would an average user would have 100 friends and 10 posts per week.

How so, NFTs are exactly about requiring to own a picture to use it and that nobody else can use it.

Crypto is exactly about strengthening copyright.

The issue is you have built in a mechanism to prevent the site from gaining critical mass.

In order for a user to check the site, there would need to be 50 posts from their friends that they can read through.

For that to happen, they would need 500 friends for them to make 50 posts a week.

In order to reach 500 friends, you would need 100 million users, before that the network would be empty with nothing happening.

It’s better to limit the number of posts to 1 per day.

This way, you would be able to have some stuff going with 50 friends in some areas and 3 million users.

However, you need to get to 3 million users somehow with no value in your network, maybe you can get this through posts like this, but very difficult.

You also need to let users upload their contact list otherwise you won’t be able to build your social graph.

Where did you get that number from?

Only that these idiots become one radicalized group of 40% of Americans and try to topple the United States again.
