The same wage that's a slap in the face to an American can be quite lucrative to someone in a lesser developed nation. Hits for pennies are a god send to those folks.

Maybe so, but the article, parent comment and my comment are all referring to people for whom microtasks are not a lucrative source of income.

I had the same thought upon first viewing, but actually liked it much more after seeing again.

I read Neuromancer every two years.

I have a 2013 Air. I wish the ram was extendable :/

You would be surprised.

Could be a burner.

Fear of flying is actually fear of not being in control. You need to work on figuring that out - why does the lack of control freak you out? Why can't you just "go with it"? It also helps to learn some of the basics of modern aviation.

Hence "Fear of Flying" by Erica Jong. Does more information really make it less scary, I feel it might help you find your way but not because you know more.

It helped me, ymmv.

what about dtube?

Doesn't d.tube only run on one main server, but transmit over ipfs?

It has already gained adoption outside of that sub cult. All of the major financial institutions are researching applications of blockchains - many on top of private ethereum deployments. Ethereum is PROGRAMMABLE MONEY. It's a technology that's certainly here to stay, but that's not to say that ethereum itself will be the dominant platform.

>Ethereum is PROGRAMMABLE MONEY

What if someone just programs more programmable money?

Also why would anyone want to use a system where over 71% of all money is owned by a small group of anonymous oligarchs?

  Presale ICO / Premine ( max cost $0.50 USD per ETH  )
  = 72,009,990 ETH
  
  Total Supply today (Jul 19th 2018)
   = 100,773,797 ETH

Not to mention, Ethereum and DAPPs can't validate any interesting external data without relying on centralized trusted data sources - at which point it becomes cheaper, more efficient, practical and legally accountable to just set up a normal database app.

Most financial applications or experiments in the space are not conducted on the public blockchain so the oligarch aspect of it is not applicable - and no someone can't just program more money on the public blockchain - the blockchain exists to validate the amount of money flowing through it. If someone "programs more" that's essentially a fork and they can't transact with it unless other folks in the network fork as well.

The reason it's hard to find is because the sherry cask Yamazaki won best whiskey of the year a few years ago. It was a limited batch so everyone started buying everything Japanese. The sherry cask that won used to go for ~150/bottle. Now it's $3k. Now I'm priced out of all of my favorite whiskies. Fuck you, hipsters!@
