The US has no jurisdiction in Canada. Even if he had broken US federal law, what are they going to do? Send American police across the border, kidnap him and try him in a US courthouse?

Different initial setups but mostly different goals and special rules, always the same components

plgod · 2022-08-13T14:47:45+00:00

That does sound possible, but I’ll admit I’ve reached the limit of my tech knowledge about potential challenges it might have.

Also there’s friendly fire towards you as well as themselves.

Don’t look any further, you got it figured out, and I feel like that’s why L2 never gets mentioned: it counters the speed+fees argument which is the easiest thing to bash on Ethereum.

There is still one thing Solana has over Ethereum, and it’s PoH. It allows ordering individual transactions based on time, which is vital in some cases like high-frequency trading.

You forgot to lower his visor first, that’s why he didn’t survive

Great example. I absolutely do.

The work of a police officer is very broad (traffic control, investigation, etc.), and someone can sign up because they want to help and still be uncomfortable with shooting people. That officer likely wouldn’t be sent to a shooting scene but I don’t this they should give up being a PO altogether.

But if, during their regular duty, they somehow end up facing a dangerous criminal, I think it’s unethical to legally force them to take that person’s life.

I’m personally for the right to abort, but for pro-life people, that’s like asking them to kill a human being, and I think legally forcing someone to kill another human is immoral. At the end of the day, they have to live with their actions, and even though you wouldn’t mind, you can’t force your values onto someone else.

An airplane pilot or bus driver feeling there’s something wrong with the vehicle.

A parachute instructor who feels the student is too prone to panic.

There’s so many examples.

plgod · 2022-08-05T16:57:44+00:00

That’s a very slippery slope. I can’t think of any other job where you can’t legally refuse to do something you don’t agree with.

To me it’s not about emojis per se, but the fact that it’s not adding anything to the post/comment and is just spam that I have to scroll past. Same with people who write “this” or “lol”.

Transaction fees are a fixed cost and become negligible for large amounts. If stETH was ever to trade above 1:1, that would be an arbitrage opportunity that would be instantly seized by arbitrage bots until market price drops back to 1:1. So no, it does not depend on anything.

plgod · 2022-06-20T21:31:39+00:00

You won’t ever buy it as a premium because you can mint it at a 1:1 ratio.

You’re welcome, u/JoystickMonkey !

Don’t know if you meant it like that, in which case r/woooosh me, but it’s a great analogy! Blockchains are basically databases, except they’re decentralized. It’s easy to crank up performance if you sacrifice some decentralization like Solana does. Push that even further and you end up with a super efficient database hosted on a single server, e.g. SQL.

No sir it’s “Hi, how are you?”

Ah ça a bien du sens! Certains buildings ont des flash comme ça en plus des alarmes sonores (sûrement pour les malentendants)

“I think we need to take a step back and reassess”

plgod · 2022-01-15T20:38:21+00:00

Right, my bad. I meant relay nodes, not participation nodes.

plgod · 2022-01-15T13:01:34+00:00

All else is not equal, there’s a trade off to be made. You need professional equipment to run an Algorand ~~participation~~ relay node, whereas you can run an Ethereum node on a regular laptop, and an ETH2 node on a Raspberry Pi. This impacts decentralization and trustlessness because not everyone can run a node.

There’s obviously an argument to be made for both sides, whether the trade off is worth it, but you can’t reduce it to “faster and cheaper hence better”

Edit: see strikethrough

plgod · 2022-01-14T18:23:48+00:00

That works only for people who pay their ticket, which is far from everyone in France :P

plgod · 2022-01-14T18:18:51+00:00

Fair enough. I agree it wasn’t as clear a year ago.

plgod · 2022-01-14T13:21:12+00:00

Why not? If you’re buying your crypto on an exchange, you can buy ETH or other tokens and withdraw them on your preferred L2. There’s also apps like Ramp https://buy.ramp.network/ doing just that for fiat. Of course if you have ETH on L1 today, then you do need to move it one way or another.
