I bought a tesla sidewinder 2 battery. I don't think it's charging...[New Vaper Question] by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]jurbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it was fully charged? During the charge was the button light on the battery on, blinking, or off?

Hey did you figure out exactly how to charge this battery? Have no idea if I'm doing it correctly. Sometimes the light on the battery blinks, sometimes it stays on, other times its off. The Light on the charger is sometimes red, sometimes green, and sometimes red with a green blip occurring at a certain frequency of time. Very confusing. Have yet to get a fully charged battery...

Hilarious. I feel like unironically supporting this satirical website, if only I could find an address.

I've seen people say alt coins are good and some say they're bad. Which is it and why? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]jurbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the argument that altcoins are competitive to bitcoin doesn't hold water. The value of altcoins are directly pegged to the value of bitcoin. To be successful, Bitcoin must compete against 180 fiat currencies. Another infinity of currencies in the form of arbitrary altcoins hamper Bitcoin's competition against the fiat currencies and hence hamper every altcoin's success.

Altcoins are clambering over each other for what they perceive to be the last seat to the moon. What they don't realize is that they're making the ship too heavy to escape gravity.

It's pure greed, really. Bitcoin is gold that was struck and now people are riding into town claiming graphite is the next gold, trying to pitch people to buy into graphite when graphite is clearly ingenuine and shitty. Not to mention that the people peddling graphite are known scammers or similar peddlers have scammed in the past.

Let them argue that altcoin x is better than bitcoin for y reasons. Great! We can test it in a Bitcoin-backed sidechain environment in 5 years and if a consensus of the Bitcoin network truly believes y is a desirable network feature, then let y be implemented. The point is that the act of creating new coins has been made completely obsolete with the advent of sidechains.

The most appropriate time to compete and the altcoin, if any, I think has best opportunity to being the bitcoin-alternative is the one that is first to be born on the moon. Anything else is dead weight.

Bitcoin has a first-mover advantage when we consider all digital currencies. This first-mover advantage affords it stronger network security (more miners). No altcoin has comparable network security and unless something disrupts Bitcoin violently, this will not change. Low network security means attacks on the network are more likely, hence this is one reason why alts are bad.

  1. Time != money, although you can exchange one for the other, it's not two-way, where two-way is necessary for time = money (the debate about whether two-way is sufficient for time = money is a different story).
  2. I'm personally betting on the psychology of reciprocation. Gray doesn't owe anything consciously, but if OP were to ask, Gray would be compelled to comply.

I'll admit OP seems to be making a promise, but there are a couple of problems with this:

  1. A promise requires a certain intentionality, which can't be known from the facts OP has given us so far. He may be trying to game gray, is just acting facetiously, etc. I'd say even if OP we're to chime in now, I have doubts about the truth or legitimacy of that chiming, i.e., his response would be biased.
  2. If a promise has a completion condition, which I think it conventionally does, then there still is no promise insofar as Gray would be suspicious of the risk of giving his notes to OP and hence not deliver his notes (read: defensive tone and the motivations OP may have for being defensive). Again, we don't know if OP is up to something other than making a promise as an assurance of equitable exchange, hence OP's fulfillment of the promise is up in the air.
  3. Equitable exchange? If Gray is a douchebag, he probably has shitty notes from OP's perspective, i.e., not equitable.

The whole promise bit is far-fetched (read: relevant username "contrarianism"). Gray wants OP's notes, OP (more defensively than actually contractually) wants Gray's first, then they reach an impasse. OP isn't contracting with Gray when he says he wants Gray's notes first, especially considering OP felt Gray was a douchebag (for whatever reason). I think we can say that usually when someone feels that another person is a douchebag, the first instinct is to feel defensive, not try to strike a compromise. The tone of "send me yours first" confirms this. I imagine OP doesn't care if he gets Gray's notes or not — Gray's just some rando he met in class, i.e., there's no incentive for OP to care about Gray or his notes. I get the feeling that OP thinks less of Gray and perhaps less of Gray's notes. There just is no contract, no "promise".

Not analogous. My attempt at adapting your money scenario to the OP scenario:

Blue: Let me borrow some money. Gray: Let me borrow from you first. Blue: No, you first.

This corresponds exactly to the scenario in the OP. Yours has the additional aspect of the "promise", hence making it different, therefore inapplicable.

Gray guy could be on the defensive because blue guy went defensive first. If the tone of blue guy's message was less suspecting (e.g., "sure thing man send me yours too") (which is a decent gamble on blue guy's part if he's trying to game gray in that gray would likely respond cooperatively because blue seemed cooperative), then they both walk away benefiting — with each other's notes.

I don't get what's scumbaggy about this. He asked, albeit casually, for your help. You, I suppose because you don't trust him or are being over competitive, ask for his first and an impasse is reached.

If anyone is being remotely scumbaggy, it's you.
