That paper is bullshit. Source, have a PhD.

Do you have any evidence or are you just making things up?

Yeah, like I said it would increase bandwidth and storage for nodes. Credit cards themselves aren’t a feature of the u.s. dollar. Nothing prevents additional networks, like credit cards, from also processing transactions and then doing settlements in bitcoin. The ACH network processes 35.2 billion transactions per year. How many settlement transactions between banks are there? Fewer than ACH. The current US financial system isn’t really built on the dollar but numerous independent networks.

Lemmy loves open source except if it is bitcoin or Ethereum. I don’t get why so many are so happy for their government to be able to control their wealth through currency manipulation. Plus governments also use money to suppress dissent or ideas the gov’t doesn’t like, aka things like Wikileaks.

To clarify for others bitcoins transaction limit is a choice. Bitcoin blocks originally had no limit. One was put in place to limit spam. The restriction could be lifted now but doing so would increase the storage and bandwidth requirements for nodes.

I don’t see how a RYGB monitor is bad news.

How does one objectively measure color?

If color is in light then why do people see yellow from an RGB monitor when no yellow light is present? If color is a physical property of light how do we see color? Do the chemicals in our cones see/respond to color? How? How is color detected by chemicals in our eye transmitted to the brain? Does electricity also support color? If so, how?

I’m a physicist and no, color is not a physical property of light. Color is a subjective experience created by our mind in response to electrical signals from our eyes.

The color yellow subjectively exists. Like I said at the beginning, color is a product of the mind. Objectively, as in is it directly measurable, light has no color. Physics deals with objective measurements.

You can call it whatever you want but color isn’t a physical property of light. It is a construction of the mind. You claim a certain wavelength is yellow. A computer display can show a combination of red and green pixels that we perceive to be the same shade of yellow even though the original yellow wavelength isn’t present at all. Color isn’t from the light itself but from our mind.

Colors aren’t physical. There is no way to measure color. We can measure frequency, wavelength, or energy. So there isn’t any light that is yellow at all. There is light, or combinations of light, that we perceive to be yellow but that is simply a construction of the mind.

Colors don’t actually exist physically. They are a creation of the mind.
