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?

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.

> It might be an extreme problem to you, not to everyone else.

So mass inflation is only an extremely problem to me? This is probably the most false claim possible.

> This has been solved again and again by different companies, be it wise.com or others

Except they constantly freeze user accounts for no reason.

> Except for the fact that nobody can get their money back after they have been scamed. There is no authority to complain to or reverse a transaction. Wich makes it useless for the masses.

Of course there is, all the exchanges have to comply by with law enforcement and that’s what they are doing. This way, since the transactions are all public and can be traced endlessly it’s very difficult to evade law enforcement through scams.

Thats also why this $4.5B scam was caught https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-09/nyc-coupl...

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.

Science denials isn’t political “idea”, it’s just plain and destructive science denial.

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

A Twitter with unlimited speech will become a racist and propaganda hellscape.

Imagine Trump will be brought back on Twitter, he’ll radicalize 40% of Americans into QAnon disciples and try to topple the United States government again. He’ll have thousands like him joining in in spreading mass amounts of fake news exactly like the Russian propaganda machine.

You’ll see extreme science denial, a boatload of new Covid myths, drinking bleach, Ivermectin, Covid is just the flu propaganda all over again, just 5 times worse.

Ok but you also travel much less by ship than by plane and you also have your additional CO2 footprint by driving around on vacation.

Increasing muscle mass is one of the fastest way to lose fat, because muscle mass burns calories in your sleep.

That’s not a good analysis.

Maybe it costs $20B/day overall including sanctions, but military spend only should come out at around $2B.

So you’re just a troll without any carefully researched knowledge.
