@IOHK_Charles Definitely abandoned scaling in favor of governance

I am getting insanely tired of hearing a false narrative that we abandoned scaling in favor of governance. There was continuous effort and work from before even Shelley on scaling (for example eprint.iacr.org/2018/1119.pdf) It was an enormously challenging problem that we relentlessly attacked from many different angles including L2 innovations, a brand new accounting model- eutxo- zero knowledge ideas, partnerchains, and capstoning with Leios. Many of these ideas required deep r&d and original publications. This cannot be made faster by throwing more people at it. It's research. In the meantime while the research was being done, we implemented Voltaire because it unlocks the treasury for the entire community to use thereby making Cardano stronger and also scaling will require many parameter changes we cannot unilaterally make. No one was pulled from scaling research and development. There were dozens of scientists and engineers brainstorming and prototyping for years. A semi-centralized and not secure halfway house could have been implemented that crashed all the time like other blockchains. Or we could do it right like we've always done things with the Cardano ecosystem. We chose the latter. We now have a full design for Leios, Peras, and a great L2 strategy. They are elegant and future proof. We now have the best scaling strategy in the entire cryptocurrency space. That's what the time bought us. Implementing Voltaire means that every single one of you has a voice and vote on when and how to turn that on. You also exercised that vote and voice on a desire for a multi-client ecosystem. So it's going to be turned on multiple times by independent teams. That's the point of governance. Critics somehow argue that we should have just made a mad rush for scalability, robbed everybody of a voice, and somehow we would be ahead today. What that means in practice is none of you would be dreps, there would no constitution, no constitutional committee, you would have no say when and how we upgrade the network, you would have no say on client diversity, there would be no legitimate members-based organizations, we would have no legitimate- community endorsed- road map, and over a billion Ada would be locked for no one to use. The very fact that Bitcoin is having an issue trying to figure out whether to steal Satoshi's money for the "greater good" (BIP361) or just simply let someone else steal it (BIP360) is the single greatest endorsement of the value of governance. It's going to literally break their ecosystem into two halves and cause catastrophic economic harm. We will completely sidestep this issue thanks to governance.

@x0yabun Waste management consultant

What jobs actually get people houses like these?

@Timcast You're a retard

I can't believe I am saying this BUT I AM DONE The Democrats have FINALLY gone too far. For the FIRST TIME In my life I am voting REPUBLICAN

@MikhailaFuller Literal 100% ribeye diet for 25 yrs? Im calling bs

This gorgeous lady has only eaten ribeyes for over 25 years. She’s 53.

@ChrandLord @a7las1984 I think it's the fact that they considered it cheating, discrediting the work she puts in.

@a7las1984 I mean she was right tho?

@bobasfk So true

the main issue with conservatives is that they cannot fathom an issue exists unless it is within the scope of their own personal experiences it is a psychopathy not to be able to extend your understanding and compassion to the experience of other people outside of your own view this is why no amount of data or evidence can convince them of anything unless they themselves experience it firsthand You will only hear them talk about healthcare costs coherently if they themselves go through the system but not before You will only hear them talk about minority issues if they themselves experience it through someone they love, not before Their understanding of the world around them does not extend beyond their own experiences in life

@_9th_Life_ Damn.. nice work

Reta is pretty fucking amazing tbh

@stephenasmith This is laughable

Whose rhetoric has contributed MOST to the current climate of political violence in America?

@FBGreatMoments When i was a young kid I thought he was elite. Pete Metzalaars

Name a tight end nobody remembers who was actually elite.

@TheOmniLiberal Haha nice

I have never agreed with a statement more in my entire life.

@uscfan981 Golden

What you got?

@cryptoDdegen @mehdirhasan How could she possibly do worse

@mehdirhasan I agree with you on him beeing shameless and dumb But keep in mind who was the other candidate like i don't think kamala would have done any better

What do you say about a man so without shame and so overconfident that he claims he would have won past prolonged wars while currently failing at a current war he is prolonging? And tens of millions voted for this idiot to lead us for a second time.

@phenoatypical 99%+ I'm straight men. Hate to break it to you

I just straightforwardly don’t trust men who claim to not be physically attracted to women under twenty. They are either lying to me or lying to themselves for the purpose of social signaling. Regardless, I want nothing to do with it.

@masatoalexander Apparently it is

@Degen007 is that related to passport bros or nah

one way of looksmaxxing is to improve yourself other way is to move to where the competition is lower

@masatoalexander I'm honestly not sure

@MattMorseTV Lol this is 100% bullshit... they didn't hire you because you're a prick

In 2011, at 17 years old, I applied for a job at McDonald’s and got rejected because I couldn’t speak Spanish. I was ‘unqualified’ to flip hamburgers in the United States of America because I couldn’t speak Spanish. We need 100,000,000 deportations.

@ZssBecker Another shitty take- you dont miss!

@michaeljknowles Lol you're such a cunt

"I have nothing against the Pope...I'm not fighting with the Pope.... The Pope can say what he wants, and I want him to say what we wants, but I can disagree. [...] I'm sure the Pope is a great guy, I haven't met him." Pitch-perfect example of how political rulers should handle disagreements with spiritual authority—much to the dismay of those would love to drive a wedge between President Trump and American Catholics, most of whom voted for him twice!

@masatoalexander Haha nice!

@Degen007 i have 4 kids, prefer things raw
