tomato / tomato -- right?
what is storage/cache if not memory?
I would argue there is no "standard definition of memory" as it relates to beings / consciousness / qualia.
Even if we limit "memory" to what people have when they reflect on past events.. we don't know /what/ that is; where it is stored, why it is so error prone, etc.
we also don't know much at all about the mechanism behind RNA; we have mapped some genes but afaik, the mechanism for how those sequences actually do anything at all, yet alone things in particular is a huge mystery.
I found this out on accident when I forwarded my mail somewhere else while I was traveling and they prompted me to sign up. I immediately started receiving emails with photos of all the mail going to this address.
Running is somewhat similar in that at first it is uncomfortable but your body learns to lean into it.
That being said, prolonged periods of mindfulness and focus can bring about unparalleled states of bliss, but those are fleeting.
i don't really see its electricity use as a big issue since market forces will inevitably reduce cost or increase supply.
part of the reason though people will put a lot into an experiment like this is that the network effect is important to its success. needs to be very liquid.
for me personally having a fungible electronic currency that cannot be taken away by law or inflation is itself valuable
no one judge can take it away from me, and i value that as others do. i fail to see how a decentralized store of value and exchange is nil value
There are cryptos with inflation built in, probably in whatever most ideal form you or anyone thinks is correct.
Or, I might say: You have a narrow view of bitcoin if you think stopping inflation is the problem that it's solving.
Sad if we must bow to the various central banks that will rise, fall, and inflate their currencies to nothing until the heat death of the universe.
It seems to me, if users act differently, there "should" be a way to fingerprint them.
clickbait nonsense
unbelievable to me we still can't keep garbage processes and excessive ui down enough to have a budget phone run like crap
I often sit semi-squatted at my computer; basically my feet on the seat and thighs against my chest. I've actually avoided this consciously since it seemed like 'bad posture'.
I wonder if I have actually been actively avoiding something I should be doing more of. It's always felt more comfortable this way.
I finally changed the password to a slight variation that is not in this list (nor likely any others, 9 random alphanumerics); and within a week the two factor notifications started back up!
I was really surprised; admittedly the modification was trivial, but that is pretty thorough for a steam account I've spent like $100 in.
Obviously this is not even noise compared to bitcoin; but my point is that bitcoin has shown to be an exceptional store of value for a long term hold.
Beyond that, I think most people who believe in bitcoin as a long term store of value expect that when it reaches a mature global-level market cap; the swings should be less severe.
