I think this is simplistic. It’s viewing Bitcoin through a lens of a traditional Ponzi scheme assuming people that trade their fiat currency for Bitcoin are investing, with a view to one day take profits back into dollars. What if people ar

Also phones scan CAPS URL’s just fine. So all you need is: HTTP:// <SHORT DOMAIN> / CODE Dropping S in HTTPS gives one extra character if you do a 302 redirect. This is fast enough if the server is hosted in same countr

On URL Versions: I find it odd that governments (eg Australia) that mandate QR codes to check-in to places have such complex information and detailed codes. This makes scanning the QR code more difficult due to the smaller dot size. This re

Reading this it’s a classic systems failure: multiple defensive barriers gone wrong through poor safety planning. It’s reminiscent of the Victorian ESSO gas plant accident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esso_Longford_ga

I had a combustion engine car die on me once too. Later I downloaded the fault which indicated “bad fuel”. True story. The most amazing thing is how VW didn’t send me a rescue crew and a free show bag. And even more puzzling, I’m still unsu

A rough guide: The GPS signal works on two codes: coarse acquisition (C/A) and precision (P) codes. The P codes are 1 week long and require a secret key even to this day. C/A is I think a few hundred milliseconds and easily locked

Now divide by M1 money supply. Is it the stock market over valued or the dollar devaluing as they print trillions of them.

My understanding of insurance was that they don’t double the premium vs risk as per the article. Traditionally it’s much closer to money in equals payouts. But because they have hundreds of billions in funds sitting in a float (required by

Modern Monetary Theory: - The state creates money and spends it into existence - The state taxes back money to control inflation, achieve social outcomes and incentivise certain behaviour. The problem is the population like 1, and dislike

My understanding is Bitcoin unspent transaction outputs (spendable bitcoins) are spendable depending on the script (some opcodes that are agreed upon). The most common is pay to public key hash. So you not only need to solve secp256k1 ecdsa

Wrong. IF there exists a general purpose formula (which isn't known yet) for all quantum problems, so secp256k1 is broken, then it would only reduce the complexity sqrt(N), from 2^256 down to 2^128. Which is unsolvable. (source: Stan

It’s true that compilers won’t optimise memory layout but I would argue this is an issue for only a subset of the software engineering industry. More important is robust bug-free code with separation of concerns which these tools allow. Rem

Agree RE long term consistency. After 10 frames I suspect what I’m seeing from that point is a journey through the trained model internals. It doesn’t seem to reference back to the original image and very quickly changes to vastly different
