Until we figure how to hack nerves, I guess being paralyzed from the neck down would suck less than being dead? (also, it's less final!)

With enrolled keys and a password protected bios that refuses to add boot options to the boot menu, and refuse to boot existing options if the signature no longer matches, you can't be booting malicious files.

This, so much. People were getting icky a few years ago when I said I was working in crypto, as it if was below what a geek should aspire to - but it felt so much better than the alternative: I was providing something people were asking for

It's now widely trade and accepted, with many pairs and a low price. It's ideal to move funds, so it does serve a purpose now. Or at least, it did, as it's clearly being manipulated: check the price and notice how, despite th

The parent point stands: it's possible to release that on other chains, for lower gas fees and ecological costs. BTW as you follow the space, what do you think about the alternatives? (the "other smart contract platforms") My

It is dangerous but it often pays. perl parsers for HTML are still one of the fastests way to handle it - no parallelism, so spin one thread per core and keep it well fed. You will quickly get IO bound.

Or AVAX or the other binary compatible blockchains?

As no one did a TLDR: if you use a swapfile, it could overwrite part of the the filesystem where the swapfile exist. Don't use swapfiles if you can. Use a dedicated partition, there are many advantages (including automatic RAID0 if you

I've read that up to 76% of the medical professional in some EU countries are refusing the vaccine, so I wonder why they do that if the science is so valid. Antivaxx craze and fake news network effects can only explain so much.

Currently, ETH is in big trouble: delay on the POS (I don't think it'll be ready before 2022), new binary compatible chains that will allow everyone to move on if ETH2 fails. Also the ETH futures recently introduced will initially

Many chains are compatible with ETH. Check AVAX if you are worried about gas fees (BTW I don't have any AVAX, it's just one of the many possibilities) https://docs.avax.network/build/tutorials/smart-contr
