Small correction, put the money directly into the consumers wallets. Since the wallet itself would also be implemented as a bank account, likely controlled by the central entity they would be able to monitor both it's balance as well a

FIPS 140 provides a standard for assuring that a product has implemented their crypto correctly. It has its warts but overall it skews very close to otuer published sources of algorithms. I think the biggest differences lie in handling edge

FIPS does permit elliptic curves, but only a subset of the NIST ones. So ed25519 and the other djb algorithms are not allowed

Minor nit, but you are comparing amount transferred vs number of transactions. Yes, there is a difference of several orders of magnitude, in favor of usd.

This feels like an unnecessarily harsh reply. It is easy to find that Diane Greene came onboard with a product called Bebop: https://venturebeat.com/2015/11/19/google-buys-diane-greenes... . It is easy to find

Any fans of What We Do in the Shadows here? Getting strong vibes from the second season when Colin Robinson parks his car across the entrance to the Lincoln tunnel.

This advice appears based on deficiencies in programming however. Programs operate on algorithms to process data. When the programs or algorithms fail to be able to do so properly the program is at fault. In your cases you have items like:

Bitcoin wants to waste resources for a specific operation - which is to prove that work was performed. The other aspects of bitcoin, such as sending transactions and validating transactions, have no need to waste resources and are designed

Something else worth noting from the article === If however, you know the number of hops you can use an exponentiation trick to find the ending point quite quickly. For example, and omitting the details of elliptic curve operations: 2P = P

I think this is the correct answer. Any business where there is a lack of competition tends towards negative monopolistic behaviors. Monopolies tend to not be good for consumers with knock-on effects for society. If gas (standard oil, for e

I'm going to take a contrarian point - what is so bad about vanity projects? I'm not going to touch on the connection between nationalism and these vanity projects, but the fact that teams can be sponsored to work on their own OSs

I think this is a great point. Products succeed by doing well in a specific market and branching out from there to cover more use cases. RISC-V is not going to succeed in the Desktop / Laptop / Server CPU markets because the desig

Exactly. Twitter wants to increase active users and stats around posts and other interactions. Those are used to then drive sales of ads. Active users doesn't tie cleanly to the effectiveness of ads, but it looks like a nice top of lin

I think that may be the answer! If data is toxic waste then offloading the storage of toxic waste may be the new way to focus on your "core competency" of running your service.

You raise a good point - my example of asking if the user likes cats is something that could be an inferred metric based on their clicking on cat pictures and having lots of pictures of cats. It isn't the user data itself which Solid a

I think that with a problem statement of "I want to control my data and how third parties use my data" Solid makes a good deal of sense. Personal information should be owned by you and you should be able to take it from service to
