No problem. Thanks for being intellectually honest! I’ll file down the claws in my previous reply. :)

Thats actually 100% false.

DJED seems to have escaped your notice. It has been humming along without incident for a full year now.

DJED is the first formally verified stablecoin protocol. The use of formal methods in the programming process has greatly contributed to the design and stability properties of Djed. Using formal techniques, the properties are proven by mathematical theorems: *Peg upper and lower bound maintenance: the price will not go above or beyond the set price. In the normal reserve ratio range, purchases and sales are not restricted, and users have no incentive to trade stablecoins outside the peg range in a secondary market. *Peg robustness during market crashes: up to a set limit that depends on the reserve ratio, the peg is maintained even when the price of the base coin falls sharply. *No insolvency: no bank is involved, so there is no bank contract to go bankrupt. *No bank runs: all users are treated fairly and paid accordingly, so there is provably no incentive for users to race to redeem their stablecoins. *Monotonically increasing equity per reserve coin: under some conditions, the reserve surplus per reserve coin is guaranteed to increase as users interact with the contract. Under these conditions, reserve coin holders are guaranteed to profit. *No reserve draining: under some conditions, it is impossible for a malicious user to execute a sequence of actions that would steal reserves from the bank. *Bounded dilution: there is a limit to how many reserve coin holders and their profit can be diluted due to the issuance of more reserve coins.

Algorithmic stablecoins that are actually unhackable (all possible endpoints have been formally verified) exist too. They offer the best of both worlds. I’d like to see something like that on Monero’s successor (whatever that is).

edit: I was thinking that successor would be Midnight…but Midnight is closed source, which is a dealbreaker for me…especially with cryptocurrencies. Perhaps ZCash?

I should mention that only South Korea and Canada have TRUE Single Payer (which is, IMO, what the US should be working toward).

Any other type of “universal healthcare” has the effect of creating a premium lane alongside the regular one. However, if all of society has to use the same healthcare system, they will have no choice but to collectively fight tooth and nail to improve healthcare for everyone. This is the only way, IMO.

In a truly just society, the homeless man sleeping on the bench would have the same healthcare as Jeffrey motherfucking Bezos.

What a stupid article.

Math, Haskell, and software engineering in general.

Solana! 😂😂

You can barely detect your own biases! Have a great day. Continue with the fascist bullshit pretending you are ordained from some higher power.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Group efforts to root out fascism or other malcontents

You can read those words, right? Who decides what is and isn’t fascism? Who decides who is the malcontents in society? See what I mean?

Oh ok. Carry on.

I can agree that they’re cliches and perhaps thought terminating.

I “have the trolling”. Are you implying that I’m trolling? If I’m trolling, every single hippie in the 60’s was also trolling when they asked for peace.

Calling someone a Zionist when they’re arguing AGAINST a ceasefire is ABSOLUTELY not below the belt. Zionist isn’t a slur. It’s a word used by actual Zionist’s.

After looking at your “evidence”, I still disagree with the ban. Linkerbaan was angry at people literally preventing the truth about an actual genocide being broadcast live for all to see.

Downvote those you disagree with and walk away. Banning is for death threats and stuff like that. Calling people names like “fascist” is not abuse. It’s public discourse.

That’s a great point that I honestly hadn’t considered.

All totally valid points. I just so happen to disagree with API official ban lists.

Many have been banned. A leftist named linkerbaan (or to like that) was one for sure.

Most of the issues I have with world are invisible because the comments are removed and the users are banned. As long as you stick with their narrative (that Trump bad and Biden/Kamala good) you won’t run afowl of them.

So fringe that BlueSky officially lists the most blocked accounts on BLueSky IN THEIR API: https://vqv.app/

So fringe that millions of people subscribe to them.

So fringe that over 1700 people upvoted this list on Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/BlueskySocial/comments/1gtqtd3/and_remember_you_can_block_all_magarelated/

yup. Lemmy.world!

I think on a small scale, communities are self-governing and anarchism can work well.
I have seen evidence of this.

In my current understanding of this admittedly SUPER complex topic, the problem perhaps lies in the overpopulation by way of capitalist expansion.

It feels (if you won’t shame for attempting to take a stab in the dark at a reason) like at the scale of modern society, community policing can lead to an uptick in crime.

I have seen it in VT, CA, OR, and other places where this transition to a less punitive society is taking place. Ideologically, I actually wish for a society like that…but then I go to Brattleboro VT and get robbed at gunpoint by some guy who has been released from jail 2 times this month. I agree that ACAB. But then, I also want peace and I don’t want to have to fear for my safety when what we asked for is given to us.

I wish I had an answer…frankly, I have a hard time coming to terms with the real-world implementations of some of my ideas like this one. I want to eliminate the disgusting white supremacist police…but I also want to prevent Proud Boys from murdering me.
