There's no way that they didn't purposely allow the capitol be breached. I don't think it's clear at this point to decide who made the call and why, but when the capitol has worse security than Mark McCloskey's hous

I thought it was odd how it seemed like the majority of the people were walking as if they were going on a tour of the capitol and not like they were a violent mob. It'll be interesting to see what more comes out of the wtf bad capitol

I don't know the specifics, but there's also the mental cost of the doctor seeing something concerning enough that warrants an MRI and waiting 7 months just for the test; praying nothing gets worse in the meantime.

Might be good to get patio11's take on this. He's predicted the last 5 tether collapses.

My friend in Vancouver had lung xray show up something weird and the doctor scheduled her for an MRI. The appointment was in 7 months. Instead she got the MRI in a private clinic for a pretty reasonable cost and came back with the results f

It's a meme, but not exactly true. Google has terrible customer support. And has great security. But the great security actually comes from actually very good policies, and have a fantastic "advanced protection" service for p

I had my domain taken over while on Gandi. Interestingly they didn't do it via customer support, but instead were directly in contact with Gandi's legal department. Their legal guys approved the request/order without thinking

It might be poor choice of words, but I think it gets the point across. It's barely worth more than "bitcoin SV" (another coin that shares the same transaction history with bitcoin to the same point) that's controlled by

I think a lot of that energy would have otherwise been wasted (e.g. surplus power from times of the day or season), and I remember reading that the vast majority of it is at least renewable energy. At least it seems a lot better than assets

The wallet is not open source (they made a private fork of bitpays wallet as part of their strategy to shill "bitcoin cash" a relatively worthless coin that cashes in on bitcoin.com's official sounding name)

FWIW the bitcoin.com wallet (and really bitcoin.com) is borderline malware. It exists solely to leverage its official sounding name to constantly nudge people towards deceiving people into buying "Bitcoin cash" which is largely un

Because such analysis isn't free, especially when it's just in time. In theory it could and maybe will in the future, but it's hard to do every possible analysis and optimization.

The more pressure banks are under to stop all money laundering, the worse banking will be. It'll only force them to be more invasive, and increase the false-positives for money laundering. When transferring a large amount of money to M

A 1 in 200 chance doesn't make much sense. In (legacy) addresses there's a 4 byte checksum done with sha256, so it should be something like a 1-in-4-billion (1 in 2^32) chance of a typo being valid. bech32 does something even sma

It'll be a couple more months before we can say with certainty, but I think Sweden has done an excellent job of balancing economic, life and liberty trade offs.

He's conflating miner-concerns with general node ones. If you're running a miner, every millisecond is money. I operate nodes that takes up to like 20 seconds to get and validate a block (running no-mempool, and slow network/

You're both correct-ish. The constraint on blocks is that they must "weigh" less than 4 million units. Most of time blocks that weigh that much are going to be around 1.4MB (or what ever) but in an absolute worst case would b

Yeah, that's what happened to me. I booked through expedia, and missed a flight (no fault of my own). The airline outright refused to deal with me, saying I needed to contact expedia to contact them. Half a day later, I still hadn&#x27

Per transaction is intentionally a bit misleading, as the amount of power usage is proportional to how-much-power the block-reward can buy regardless of there being 1 or 1 million transactions. Not to mention, a single transaction can power

Vancouver is probably even worse. Not only is crime rampant, out of misguided compassion for drug users they have for all intents and purposes decriminalized petty crime in a sizable section (DTES) of the city. Police will quite literally n

Go is even worse. They just use the word "nil" instead of "null". Go does a lot of really silly things too, like the nil pointer receiver's (basically something that allow you dereference null in certain contexts)
