Just a side question: Any reason you did restrict it by country? I suppose you have only data for certain locations so that would be the most logical explanation to me

And yet, whenever there is a regulatory initiative to reign in those companies some people, especially on places HN, will claim that it is a futile attempt despite past evidence to the contrary. My prediction if this takes off: Just as in P

That wasn't what I was (and still is) taught in school in Germany. The blame was always squarely put on Germany. It was always stressed that most of the German population had more than an inkling of what was going on and many agreed. T

As the GP said there are several stones commemorating polish victims in Berlin and other places. In this case the stones mark the places where the victims lived. I assume most Polish victims did not live in the territory of present day Germ

Several of your points don't have anything to do with CSS and are simply costs of having multiple competing brands on the markets who need to use the same infrastructure (real estate is a very limited resource in many areas). - Older X

I find myself using trace / debug level logs quite extensively. Not only does it add more comments to critical parts of the code. It also allows me to enable them briefly in production or staging if needed. Actually debugging code happ

I don't think it is because "law is law" has physicial enforcement behind it (in many cases) while "code is law" doesn't (unless through the regular legal system which won't enforce "illegal" sma

This is not what they did. They used a relay attack which means that they tunneled the actual keyfob signal over the internet (or a direct connection). Tesla and others try to mitigate that by making sure that the latency of the signal is n

This is true in a philosophical sense. In a more practical sense (some) human opinion is influential enough to make that distinction useless (Feel free to discuss the fundamental nature of laws with your cell mate)

Bureaucracy and legal systems pose some sort of physical threat to you and can use violence (or the threat of violence) to enforce their rules. In most western societies this happens only if absolutely necessary, after many warnings and the

I wonder how they verified borrowers identity. Stealing the deposits would require a) Verification happens without any government id (I assume this is true) b) depends somehow on the bank / smart contract authors Then it would be trivi

A sensible approach :) Let's hope that POW turns out to be a very brief (in the great scheme of things) peak of human creativity / stupidity.

As I wrote in another comment, the miners are not really in control once there is an alternative solution. They can continue using POW (if they manage to coordinate an independent self-destruct mechanism override) however they cannot force

Sure it could happen (and probably will in some form). However unless it captures a siginficant fraction of ETH value it won't be worth much and in turn won't be attractive to miners. Right now ETH makes up 95+ percent of all GPU

It's the other way around. The miners can't do anything to prevent the switch since most major Ethereum users (aka Infrastructure providers) are clearly in favour and are already participating in the POS chain (which is currently

It's not unreasonable to think of POS as vaporware since it was first announced as coming in 2017. However this time around they have working implementations in all relevant clients which are being stress tested and debugged since a fe

I backed it very early and while not calling it a scam, I moved it from "In development" to "basically failed" in my head because frankly it didn't deliver close to what it promised in a reasonable time. They are cl

It also reminds me why financially prudent overseers and other non tech people are needed in a well working company and are not necessarily as bad as some devs claim (within reason). Star citizen was the attempt to free development from the

Oh don't worry regulations will catch up soon enough if crypto ever takes hold beyond speculation (and even then). It's basically a technology stack swap. We are seeing the same issues as banking because it's the same problem

Well then they can explain things like what inputs to they are using (with concrete examples four each user), what metrics they are optimizing their NNs for, how their product success is measured, what their internal research is focused on

True and it's very important to have that discussion. However, whenever a law gets passed at least one side is less than enthusiastic and, at least for me, it's helpful to get a first impression from a (more) neutral source which

It's probably because the "pilot" role plays an airplane emergency like a Hollywood-primed layman audience imagines it. For anyone who has ever flown in a small airplane (even as a passenger) this collides strongly with how t
