I was in Santiago when this happened. While working in the basement of my hostel, all the power went out, and it was pitch black. I didn't really think much of it at the time because there had been several minutes-long outages before in various places in Santiago/Chile. When I got upstairs, I noticed that I had no cellular coverage, nor did anyone else, which is when I realized that this one was different. Took about 7hrs to get the power back on in my part of town.
It's very interesting when there is ZERO internet or any other form of external communication. In hind-sight I'd say it was an interesting short simulation for the zombie apocalypse.
> There is no underlying value. No intrinsic value.
I'm surprised this comment still shows up. The intrinsic value is literally all of the energy spent ensuring the validity of the blockchain via expensive PoW. If you want to point at something with no intrinsic value, look to the fiats.
Wow, nice find with the evidence right there! Comments like this is why I read HN. The US may not be fighting with troops, but definitely fighting proxy with it's m.i.c.
Edit:
Do you think no aircraft because they'd have to use US trained pilots?
I found bi-vectors[1] to be a really interesting algebra for graphics. Unfortunately, I've not had much use for this kind of math to be able to really dig in.
Photons was only mentioned 4 times at the time of this writing. I appreciate low frequency waves when my eyes are adjusted to those low frequencies. Same as another would high frequency. Is my red the same as yours? My blue is very significant; in this way we experience colors.
To me it just seems like different syntax for different types of abstraction, not based on the OP, but from my own trials. Depending on how the calculation needs to be handled, one or the other may be more useful. As with all conceptual constructs, there's likely more than one conceptual projection in which it can be viewed with maximum clarity.
Do you know of any journal articles that cover step 3? I'm very interested in how this whole process works and can't seem to find much (paywalled at Nature for this one.)
