You're aware that 16-25 inclues a lot of children, right?

Yes, they're almost all getting kickbacks, which I think is even worse. These people are effectively getting paid to advertise gambling to children. In some cases the odds for streamers have been rigged by the site owners so that it ma

If Twitch were routinely encouraging alcohol drinking to it's largely underage audience it'll be taken to the coals over it. Excessive alcohol consumption on stream is also against twitch TOS.

I used to think that, but I think that even ones you can't redeem back (such as FIFA?) can still be extremely problematic with people still spending thousands to get the item they want from the loot box.

Firstly, this is a white paper way before formulation of actual law. Secondly, that's kind of how UK law works, read up on the knife crime regulation: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/offensive-weapons-kniv...

The big difference there is that those points aren't redeemable for anything, can't be shared and aren't funded with real money. Their slots/gambling categories are far worse, and there are far worse examples of their bi

That looks horrible to me too, perhaps I'm used to windows but the word "comment" sticks out to me there as particularly bad.

It's $95k of tether now ;) And why wouldn't they allow this arb? By committing to that arbitrage you're pricing very low the risk of not actually being able to get your money once it has collapsed.

Right, trying to compare GDP and "market cap" is like trying to compare the Amazon river with Lake Michigan.

I'm similar, but I'm far from neurotypical, so I can't say whether it's typical or not.

That's an odd interpretation of the refund. The email clearly states, > "A refund of the excess purchase..." So they'd be refunded the excess, i.e. $25. Putting another $9,975 through just feels like being "too s

This is a damning indictment of file systems. We have enough cheap space that we should be able to easily have (non-binary) file changes have a history log in our file system itself and be able to revert local changes without needing the fu

This is what happens when you ban online gambling. You get unregulated gambling in its place.

As someone else who struggles with these things, I actually found pair programming helps a ton. Any time I get too distracted and drift off there's someone to nudge me back into focus. Occassionally I'll have to apologise and just

Thanks for the correction, I didn't realise HMAC was only symmetric and thought it generally covered signing of hashed messages.

I think you can solve this with public key cryptography, your public key ships with the program. Then you sign (HMAC) something unique to the user (such as email address) along with an expiry date. That signed message becomes the 'key&

The horrible reality is that even if the web had effective and popular micropayments infrastructure it would have micropayments and adverts on top . Just look at how advertising is creeping into premium streaming services.

Unfortunately the inability to easily determine the quality while shopping online, as well as the long re-purchase times with furniture, drives everything to be junk. Anything you won't replace within 5 years means the same "brand
