Yes, but if the phone shipped with less bloatware on the system partition, then maybe that partition would be made smaller initially.

Meaning the user would have access to more of the phone’s advertised storage.

But if the system partition could be smaller, other partitions could be larger.

They mentioned that it was 20% efficient at a closer distance.

So likely much lower than that.

What’s with the hate for proof-of-stake? Seems like the hate is directed towards the fact that those have more to stake, benefit more.

Can’t the same argument be made about proof-of-work? Those who have the ability to buy more compute, also benefit more.

Instead of buying GPUs/ASICs for mining you’re buying into the network you’re trying to secure.

The comment reads as ragebait or sarcasm but I actually can’t tell.

I don’t want to take away from Game developers but as a “corporate developer” I can attest that a lot of what you said about us is blatantly false.

I’ve spent a lot of time optimizing the performance of many backend services. This is a very standard practice. Having highly performant code can save companies a ton of money on compute.

In fact I’ve worked on a stateless web server who’s architecture was completely designed around a custom chunked/streaming protocol specifically to minimize latency. All changes to the service went through rigorous performance testing and wouldn’t be released if it failed certain latency and throughout thresholds.
