This is definitely true in EU (and presumably in UK as well). If your bank doesn't like the businesses you're interacting with, e.g. gambling sites or cryptocurrency exchanges, they can close your account without notice or recours

Can you quantify the impact on climate change that PoW is going to have if we don't act against it immediately?

Not everything needs to happen immediately, Proof of Work isn't some existential threat to human kind and Ethereum is already moving to PoS. It's still early days for blockchain/crypto world. Alarmist comments don't real

Labeling the entire sector as dangerous and fraudulent is incredibly short-sighted, dismissive, and at the end of the day, a lie. I don't buy into the crypto craze of Web 3.0 and NFTs (in terms of digital art), but I do think the techn

The comment you replied to is somewhat common factual description of events of someone who was fully vaccinated and still caught covid, which lead them to decide not to get booster shots in the future. How's that "wrong" or i

How was it hazardous or "outright dangerous"? You see a build fail, you pin the previous version of that dependency, run the build again and go on with your life. Asshole move? Sure. Hazardous and dangerous? Don't be dramatic

I honestly don't see how their catalog is thriving. A lot of popular TV series and movies have moved to their own streaming services and I can only speak for myself, but I find the vast majority of Netflix Originals to be big budget, b

Each version of the package comes with its own source code and license. It's your responsibility to audit new package versions before installing them. And that's what the author did, he published a new version. You can blame your

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to strongly disagree on your first point. I've used Nest.js extensively over the past year or so and I find the documentation extremely lacking. Sure there might be a lot of hello-world style
