In order for transactions to be signed with the private key, the device holding them has to be connected to the internet, or at least be able to interface with another device that is. It is highly likely that anything involving their BTC re

There are tens of billions of dollars locked up in DeFi ecosystems with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets exchanging hands daily, but you would probably just say that it doesn't count for some inane reason. Tokenized stoc

While it's not here yet, Vitalik's future plans for Ethereum involve making it possible to run validators on smartwatches[1], which is far more accessibly decentralized than BTC could be and far more possible with Ethereum's

You "can" do all these things on BTC. Almost nobody does. All of Tether & USDC usage takes place on other blockchains. The lightning network is notoriously tricky to use and isn't trustless. A diversity of assets enables

Ethereum solves both of these issues. It is an entire platform designed for the development of distributed applications and will probably win over BTC in the long-long-term.

Electronics didn't exist for the thousands of years that gold was used as currency. The fact is, it only has most of the value that it does because it was rare, malleable, particularly shiny, and because metallism was simply the easies

I highly doubt their BTC reserve is connected to the internet.

There are blockchains other than Bitcoin which have no or almost no fees for transactions. Bitcoin could have low TX fees, but its core developers have deliberately kept the maximum block size at 1 megabyte and have refused to increase it

Those issues are not really relevant when it comes to factors like transaction speeds and the diversity of assets available to transact with, such as stablecoins, as well as DeFi platforms to actually use those assets on.

For daily usage, Bitcoin is simply inferior to Ethereum and other blockchains.

They did this to receive a loan from the IMF. The IMF was withholding the loan because of BTC and would not disburse it until they got rid of its status as legal tender.

And this was the only website on the internet with information about it? People are going to die because this one website was taken down and there is no other place to possibly read about it?

No, Go!

If you think that Go's creators "didn't know what they were doing" then I sure hope you exclusively run Windows, and not Unix, UTF-8, nor use anything else they had a hand in, like the JVM or the C programming language.

This site is horrible. Every comment here is trying their hardest to systematically dismantle this library out of existence through the use of nihilistic mind-games about what "shell scripting" "really" "is". A

I'm currently posting from a Dell Inspiron 3505 which has an 8-core AMD CPU and 6gb of ram. I got it new for roughly $300 and from quickly looking on ebay can be had for under $200 used. I'm waiting on the mail for a $70 Chromeboo

$699, which can buy you approximately 7 used laptops that are worthwhile daily drivers when set up with Linux. You sound like a shill.

It's a huge and dishonest leap to jump from "our programmers are Googlers, not researchers." to "Rob Pike admitted anyone who uses Go is stupid and if they were smart they would be using Scheme instead." That&#x27

Intellectually capable to do what? Orchestrate some of the largest distributed network systems in the world? I bet you all the best functional programmers wouldn't be able to create something as big as Google if you got them in a room

This is a horrifically obtuse and offensive comment just because Go isn't Lisp-y or Haskell-y enough for you. Golang powers large swathes of distributed services and systems all over the world whether you like it or not, because it was

I don't think the idea is to use the visual representation of the SSH key as a security mechanism but rather to have an SSH key that looks cool when you visualize it.

Rob Pike has talked before[1] on this exact subject, about how all languages are merging into one giant PL-theory sludge where every camp is adding and stealing features from one another, and that one of purposes of Go was to avoid followin

Functional programming is not "newer", it is as old as Lisp, which dates back to the 60s. The people who made Go simply decided that the language did not need those features.
