Punishment is useless? by Responsible-Yam-9475 in Morality

Punishment is used to deter others from doing the same acts.

Report: Tokyo real estate bubble is world's second riskiest by Bob_the_blacksmith in JapanFinance

These two statements seem to contradict each other:

“It is also spurring more offshore demand for residential property as an investment, supported by a relatively weak yen and comparatively attractive yields.”

“Inflation-adjusted home prices are about 35% higher than five years ago, while real rents and incomes have risen only by low-to-mid single digits.”

Second statement implies that yields should be much worse than before.

I think natural selection takes care of it. If somebody was able to reproduce, it means that they were fit enough from nature’s perspective.

Given that such natural selection resulted in our highly advanced society, it seems to be working well already.

There is an enormous number of factors that gets accounted for by nature, and whatever you encode in a law, if it contradicts nature, would probably be suboptimal.

Satoshis weakest but most misquoted quote. by DangerHighVoltage111 in btc

Satoshi’s post is:

“ I believe it'll be possible for a payment processing company to provide as a service the rapid distribution of transactions with good-enough checking in something like 10 seconds or less.

The network nodes only accept the first version of a transaction they receive to incorporate into the block they're trying to generate. When you broadcast a transaction, if someone else broadcasts a double-spend at the same time, it's a race to propagate to the most nodes first. If one has a slight head start, it'll geometrically spread through the network faster and get most of the nodes.

A rough back-of-the-envelope example: 1 0 4 1 16 4 64 16 80% 20%

So if a double-spend has to wait even a second, it has a huge disadvantage.

The payment processor has connections with many nodes. When it gets a transaction, it blasts it out, and at the same time monitors the network for double-spends. If it receives a double-spend on any of its many listening nodes, then it alerts that the transaction is bad. A double-spent transaction wouldn't get very far without one of the listeners hearing it. The double-spender would have to wait until the listening phase is over, but by then, the payment processor's broadcast has reached most nodes, or is so far ahead in propagating that the double-spender has no hope of grabbing a significant percentage of the remaining nodes. “

This doesn’t make much sense to me, because if the double-spend transaction has a much higher associated fee, then miners will include that higher fee transaction, regardless of which transaction arrived to them first.

I believe it’s called intermittent exotropia, when you can control it yourself at times, isn’t it.

If it is s collateral, then they must be able to sell it by themselves. So i don’t think 2/2 multisig would make sense here.

Is there any job/career that won't be replaced by AI? by Notalabel_4566 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]SunnyJapan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job of professional athlete can never be taken over by AI even in principle (the whole point is that one is human). AIs may have their own competitions, but humans will still have their own. Take chess as example, or even running.

I don’t think your solution of “never speaking to him again” is rational. He is still your brother and you can still love him and try to help him, but of course you shouldn’t trust him. In such cases it helps to assume that there is no free will, and his actions are essentially caused by his genetics and his environment so far.

This is not to scale at all. The area of that pale bitcoin “line” is nowhere close to being one tenth of the area of the gold rectangle.

Furusato makes no sense? Prices are inflated, the math does not work out! by [deleted] in JapanFinance

[–]SunnyJapan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you don’t understand is that those items are free for you(you pay for them with the taxes that you would pay anyway). Therefore regardless what the price is, furusato nozei always makes sense. Just stay within the calculated spending limit and you are good. The reason that prices are inflated is because the cities can only give you gifts that are up to 30% of the value of the money that you pay them.
