Look at commune farms versus private farms. In the Soviet era the farmers would have the government fields but were allowed small plots for themselves.
How exactly do you plan on parceling out the ocean for ownership? And what about the movement of fish?
Also, even if individuals do own parcels of the ocean, they still need some sort of navy to protect their parcels. It's not possible for people to manage small portions of the ocean. So, they will sell their parcels to a big corp. And now, you have big corps that own the ocean.
Can you imagine Toyota telling us about their new 2019 cars in mid-2017
But cars don't really change much from year to year. We certainly don't see a doubling of performance in a couple years. There's nothing exciting about a car from 2019 to someone in 2017.
We should automate all jobs and eliminate work. There seems to be some puritan idea of work being good for the character or something. No, work is a terrible waste of the gift of life, and the sooner we are rid of it, the better.
If that's the case, then just reduce taxes for everybody. Having states and municipalities compete with tax breaks is corrupt and inefficient and not doing the right thing.
I seriously doubt it's a weapon. What kind of impractical weapon do you have to install onsite and slowly makes your target deaf? You are better off making them sick or something.
And that's a big problem. Repairability and recycleability are related. If you can't take it apart, you can't recycle it. Sure, for now, we can always just throw it in a landfill and mine more minerals for new ones, but how long is that going to last?
I'm gonna miss the casual browser games with the sweet stylized graphics you only find in Flash games. What is the replacement easy to use programming and creation environment for artists?
Those plastic water bottles leech stuff in the water. Maybe it's harmless, but the water in those plastic bottles does taste plasticky. The plasticky taste gets stronger the longer the water sits in those bottles.
AFAIK, if enough miners (>50%?) want to invalidate the transactions, they can do it. Simply fork the blockchain, removing any transactions they don't want. Of course, they will have to collectively identify which transactions should be invalidated.
AFAIK, all cryptocurrencies are not scalable. You have to verify all transactions against an ever-growing blockchain which contains all transactions. Race type collisions will become more and more frequent with more people in the system. Eventually, it will come to a grinding halt, or people will move on to other things. Maybe there's a solution, but it doesn't exist yet. The founders certainly know that it can't last, so it's basically a Ponzi scheme.

That sounds exactly like feudalism.

Because money is an artificial thing created by humans, not a measure of resources. More people = more money.

Very cool, but it blows my mind how they did not check inside at first.

Sure, there are plenty of brilliant statisticians working in investment firms. The problem is that they are evil.
RTFA, the benchmarks provide power consumption tests.
Large data arrays are normally stored in data files, not in the executable.
This is a natural outcome of the "let's make methods and variables private to protect developers from each other" mindset.
But, if there were black holes scattered between galaxies, that would be a different story.
Obviously, one power station isn't going to supply all of Europe. But, you can always build more.
Your argument makes no sense. Sure they see numbers. But the numbers they see are incorrect because they are sexist.

Err, that sounds a lot like stolen to me.

We don't need unlimited scaling, but we'd like something that could at least scale to a fraction of the size of VISA.

Identifiers in code are often cobbled together words though.
Rich kids will buy 50 of them and play Jenga.
Naw, grandparent is just a case of internet + anonymity.
