For laptops, one of the main limiting factors is the "width when in a bag", or simply the "height". Standard 15"/16" is the limit of most backpack widths. Going to 3:2 or 4:3 would simply mean a narrower s

Coinbase used to have an Index Fund weighted by market cap. Launced in 2018[0], it was shut down just a couple of months later[1]. From the articles at the time, it seems that the major reason for the shut down was that the market was going

From what I can understand from their official dashboard, the answer is no: https://stats.rsk.co RSK MainNet launched about 3 years ago. Currently, most blocks have no transactions, with 0 gas spent.

Migrating from PoW took about 2-3 years for Ethereum, required massive changes to economic model, and developing all new clients. Ethereum leadership is still somewhat centralized, so this did not lead to multiple competing forks. Doing the

Everything I know about cryptocurrencies makes me think you and parent are completely right, and PoW cannot work without inflation (or even with very low inflation, that does not justify the cost of running hardware in the absence of transa

I am incredibly happy about this. It's the first step for a major cryptocurrency towards ledger security that does not damage the environment via mining. I always hated how wasteful and energy-inefficient mining is. Staking reduces ene

Another aspect of PoS: it makes these attacks incredibly expensive. Currently staked value is over half a billion USD.

APR depends on total staked amount, and decreases as staked Eth increases. You can see the chart here: https://launchpad.ethereum.org Now that the launch has succeeded, I will stake some of my Eth. As more people do that, APR wi

None of the suggestions in the post would increase the complexity. I like the way Apple redesigned the home screen experience this year: a LOT more features, but all are gradually discovered. App Library discovered when you "hide"

I was wondering about the name too, but the first example (and the logo) made it clear. It's just full of arrows.

Surprising. Unconventional. Fun to say out loud. Fun to share. Looks weird.

I like this approach. Everything it does can be achieved by OBS with a couple of plugins, but this is a very user-friendly packaging of great looking presets: use cases over technology. Also, super fun name.

I assume you are joking? Apple would never sell M1 to other manufacturers.

It would be interesting to take all the measures that refer to real objects (tablespoons, feet, stones, etc...) and to compare them to whatever "average" of actual objects we can devise.

That is going to be my 2021. Definitely not a launch per week, but aiming to launch a new project every 2 months. I suspect some will even generate something like $1.60!

That's quite a rant, so I'll pick out probably the core message: As a designer your work must be detached of workflow sentiments. Tools are tools. Nothing more. I can make a great UI with Inkscape any day I want. As softw

"Free" is the worst pricing of all. Open-source is great. One time purchase price is great for products that don't require maintenance. Subscription pricing is perfectly valid for online services that are not open-source. Fre

We had a parliament election in Lithuania this weekend. Even with everything taking longer because of COVID-19, I didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes. If you vote in another precinct than the one you are registered at, you might h

Can you share any reputable studies of these effects? The amount of crazy conspiracies around 5G makes finding these “real” problems impossible, even if I’m skeptical about your claim considering the amount of information to the contrary.

I’d stop holding my breath for that, considering they are even removing the Lightning headphones from the box.

Every content byte encodes to the same amount of squares. Error correction bytes are “appended”. The point about every string being equal in the same configuration of a QR code still applies. As such, the shorter URL, the better.
