you're asking a third party to confirm the equivalent of 'water is wet'

I will not spend hours of my time researching and writing a detailed reply for someone that thinks PoW can be masked as PoS. I know the fundamentals of software engineering and blockchains, and those are enough to explain why you should take the devs word about ethereum being PoS. How the staking mechanism works is irrelevant for this discussion.

Maybe I should've included the small explanation in my first reply, but given the other commenter's attitude I doubt it would matter.

It's a fundamental part of the blockchain. In PoW you have to constantly run a mining program on your computer. In PoS you designate an amount to stake (by smart contract, if I'm not mistaken) and that's it. How would the ethereum devs (or whoever else) run PoW without telling anyone? Who would pay the electricity bills?

People should be skeptical, but within reason. No investigation, no right to speak and all that.

It's capitalist apologia when I correct you on something? Give me a break.

I stand by my original tone, I stated that you have no idea what you're talking about, which is true, without attacking you with names, expletives etc.

I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.

If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it's proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Americans seemingly can't grasp war as something more than k/d stats. You see it a lot in discussions about Ukraine, too; lots of them devolve to "but 1 gajillion russian casualties/destroyed materiel"

wouldn't this also download the ad, if it gets injected in the video stream?

Parenti uses "and the like" a lot in his speech (and texts) and while this could be some kind of recency bias, I believe I see it more often in lemmygrad+hexbear than on the rest of the instances

Cuba is not facing an invasion but they are facing a strangling embargo, aligning with Russia is preferable than withering away in isolation.

Does it really matter if the delivery system is inferior? Google says they have five thousand warheads. Even if 4900 get intercepted (98% success rate), 100 nukes will connect.

Also, besides the launch silos, there's the bombers and the nuclear subs, which are enough to end the world by themselves

nuke?

wtf is that article, it doesn't even answer the question! The author clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, it's a grey bordered card so it's not legal anywhere.

Kinda unrelated but that movie portrays perfectly the hell that is walking through a concrete-filled city under the scorching summer sun

I get were you're coming from, but on the other hand most women put no effort to their profiles whatsoever. In my experience with Tinder 90-95% of profiles don't even have a bio, so how am I supposed to filter people based on some pictures and three tagged hobbies (which are usually bland like movies, travel, nights out)?

myth that any fat person could simply choose to become thin

I agree that not every fat person can do this (lots of health reasons that can make you gain weight) but most fat people can absolutely become thinner.

Feels weird to see an indoors above-ground station. I suppose it's really needed in Moscow, considering the weather?

How did you meet your partners? (both in your 20s and 30s)

I feel like I'm a similar position, especially the part about the stable foundation. It's like my mental and social state is what should've been when I was 18 or 19, but I'm 25. I'm also feeling doomed. I'm trying to hype myself up by saying that at least I'm in a position to enjoy the rest of my youth, but it's hard with people becoming increasingly unavailable due to jobs and long term relationships.
