tango alpha delta posted:lol, I actually use AWS and your statement isn't remotely accurate at all. It truly is accurate, since I lived before AWS and know how and why they operate. For people who still don't know, AWS is a way for Amazon to profit from their unused hardware by creating virtualized environments for people who will pay way too much for it since they don't know better. Using AWS is despicable. Amazon was recently (in the last WEEK) exposed for wage theft. You are paying for that, at a premium. xtal fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Feb 6, 2021 |

Man you guys need to look up the definition of a ponzi scheme. Bitcoin is stupid and a waste of power but by definition it is not a ponzi scheme.

The technology of bitcoin and the means by which money is moved between exchanges are two very different things. The model that has inflated bitcoins monetary value is most certainly a Ponzi scheme.

Yea you are right about that, the price manipulation is artificial. We were just thinking of different things and I misunderstood you. I don't give a gently caress about cryptocurrency but I think the blockchain technology itself is really neat. The problem is that no one has figured out a good use other then making lovely versions of things that already exist. We have ACH transfers and replicated databases have existed forever so maybe people need to stop trying to make another shitcoin and make something useful for once.

Understanding technology well absolutely does give you an edge because you aren't paying for poo poo you don't need, which of course brings us back to bitcoin. Don't spend money on stuff you don't understand or find someone you trust and have them handle the details. Thanks for making my point. bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme.

So the guy stole all the node code that makes the decentralized part work? That's hilarious. Guess it makes sense, we have had torrents for forever. I have followed a basic how to make a blockchain tutorial in python and that part was easy. It was the networking stuff that was tougher to figure out.

If you were profiting from AWS, they wouldn't be one of the most valuable companies in the world. Now that I think of it, they're literally landlords for servers.

Most professional developers don't roll their own code. They borrow A LOT of open source third party code and then just write some glue code.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Is your theory that Michael Keaton is not real and is secretly played by Michael Douglas? quote:Born Michael John Douglas quote:Keaton left Pittsburgh and moved to Los Angeles to begin auditioning for various TV parts. He popped up in various popular TV shows including Maude and The Mary Tyler Moore Hour. He decided to use a stage name to satisfy SAG rules, as there was already an actor (Michael Douglas) and daytime host (Mike Douglas) with the same or similar names. In response to questions as to whether he selected his new surname due to an attraction to actress Diane Keaton, or in homage to silent film actor Buster Keaton, he has responded by saying "it had nothing to do with that."[22][23] Keaton has said in several interviews that he searched a phone book under "K," saw "Keaton" and decided to stop looking.[24]
