Are they not given some portion of the transaction fees? I always thought they were for some reason.

They are given the whole transaction fee (assuming it's a direct wallet to wallet transaction - obviously if a 3rd party, such as an exchange, is involved, they may have their own fee). The idea is that by the time all the coins are mined, transaction fees alone will be enough to keep this worthwhile. I also believe transaction fees aren't a set property of Bitcoin in and of itself, but rather that miners can decide if fees are enough for them or not and choose not to process the transaction if not (of course, nothing stops a different miner from doing so). So it could also simply turn out that when the new coin supply runs out, transaction fees increase.

TopicIs it worth it to upgrade from a 1080ti to a rtx 3080
Trumble
02/06/21 1:28:47 PM

What would make it worth it to you? Bragging rights? If so, absolutely.

Actual performance? Well, are you running into any limits on the 1080 Ti so far? Or does it still run everything you want it to, at the settings and resolution and frame rate you want? If it does - then it's not time to upgrade yet. If not, sure, go for it, and RTX 3080 is pretty up there as far as being futureproof goes. (The 3090 exists, yeah, but with the increase in price to step up to that, and the fact that it could still become obsolete due to new features rather than insufficient performance, kind of feels a bit too risky.)

EDIT: If you meant this as an outright question of "is the 3080 more powerful?", then yes, very much so. Even the RTX 3060 is only very slightly weaker than the 1080 Ti.

totalnerdken posted...
I think the idea of the government forcing business owners to deal with a problem of the government is crude at best.

Just give ubi, it's significantly better.

Firstly, it helps those who aren't working. While it does incentive not working, it's only a bit since you can still make a lot more by working.

But it'll also have much better effects. With ubi, since ppl don't need to work, businesses will be forced to not only pay better but create better working environments and be FAR less abusive to their employees since people can just walk out with little to no loss of livelihood.

Just raising minimum wage still gives all the power to businesses. They can still abuse and have stressful working conditions knowing that you have to work or lose your livelihood.

I don't even care if they got rid of min wage as long as we have ubi since no one would work for a low wage as long as they're supported by ubi. Like if a business said, "you'll only make $5 per hour" you can easily walk away and laugh.

The only question is how well the tax side of things works out - this would presumably need some pretty heavy taxes, which in turn is a further disincentive to working. If that can be resolved or isn't actually a problem, a UBI would certianly achieve far more than constant minimum wage increases - which tend to flow on to other costs and make the problem even worse, because while the people on minimum wage might have more money in terms of plain raw numbers, the buying power is the same or even less.

1. Clearly the two options are wildly different in terms of outcome, so if your only point is to make a "but what about" then it doesn't sound like you really have an actual problem here and you're just arguing to be contrary
2. One could make an argument to say that wishing violent action against a violent despot is not quite as bad as wishing violent action against the woman who...what is it that AOC did again, ask Ted Cruz to resign or something?

#2 is definitely an understandable point of view.

#1 on the other hand, you're talking shit. Hypocrisy / inconsistency is a problem in and of itself - regardless of views one may have on the underlying subject of said hypocrisy / inconsistency.

No you're just not at all understanding what I am saying at all

In 2004 "let's go to the middle east to fight terrorism..."

In 2012 "it's not fair to call people protecting their own country terrorists"

In 2016 "calling someone a terrorist is just a dog whistle for racism against muslims"

In 2021 "Look at all those terrorists doing terrorist things. They're all terrorists and I'm excessively using the word terrorist, because now I have no guilt of racism. All this pent up urge to use the word terrorist is coming out of me and I'm gonna keep saying terrorist. It feels so good to call Trumpers terrorist apologists now."

*Note* Yes indeed it is accurate to call the 9/11 hijackers and the capitol stormers terrorists. The difference is the eagerness to use each term and who is saying it.

In 2002 a rural white person would use the term terrorist with this weird eagerness that is similar to the way ultra left leaning people label the capitol rioters as terrorists.

Again, in neither of these examples is the one using the word terrorist incorrect, but their eagerness to use the term does communicate something else as well.

You're dealing with ego stroking, not a good faith doubt about your stance. I wouldn't bother.

Wasn't under any illusion that I was in time to jump on a bandwagon here, but more felt like seeing what I could do just by playing the general peaks and dips.

I deposited $60. I now have $65.83 on there, about 48 hours later. Kind of wish I'd deposited $6000 instead of $60 now. (I am not reckless enough to actually do that. I mean, maybe if I was rich enough that $6000 was nothing to me, but I'm not. And if I was, the $583 I'd have made would also be nothing to me.)

All my games are digital, except a very small number on PS3 that were either second-hand or received as gifts.

This is like saying black supremacy is as bad as white supremacy. Sure, both things are bad, but they objectively aren't equal in pervasiveness and historical damage to the country.

That reaaaally depends on whether we're talking about current / historical society, or where things are going in the future. A "black supremacy" that ends up being exactly like historical white supremacy but with the races swapped would obviously be just as bad as white supremacy itself is/was. On the other hand, talking about black supremacy movements in a historical context rather than a future one is, if not an outright joke, more likely to be a mere "this movement existed" observation.

There is a difference between people actively advocating for becoming obese and trying to pass it off as a good thing, like the "Tumblrinas" and the HAES movement; and people who just don't really care that much (either way) about their own health. And then again from people who try but just aren't quite succeeding.

Not saying any of those, except maybe the last one, is praiseworthy; but the vast majority of overweight Americans fall into one of the last two categories, not the first one.

This is a REALLY tricky one.

FF1 to 5, I don't like, so I wouldn't suggest them to people of course.

FF7 would've been a solid answer in its day, but feels so horribly dated now (and the remake can eat a fat one).
FF8 holds up pretty damn well for a PS1 game (and I'm assuming the remaster is even better) graphically, but yeah, the gameplay is a bit awkward at times.
FF9 is good, but it's most enjoyable if you're familiar with the series and can appreciate the references.
FFX is an amazing game, but it's a bit "outside the box" compared to the other traditional FFs, so probably not best as the "first" FF either.

Which really only leaves one option that ticks all the boxes - FF6.
