I said "mostly", did you miss that? The reality is that these gangs were overwhelmingly not made up of police or politicians, and they did indeed have thousands of victims. We are long past the point where this sort of denialism w

The grooming gangs in those towns consisted of men from a variety of occupations, though a clear pattern was the involvement of takeaways and taxi firms. The involvement of police and politicians was mostly limited to denial, dismissal, and

The comment you're replying to isn't greatly helpful, but neither is yours. Rotherham alone, a town of ~250k people, had an estimated 1,400 victims. Then there's Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, Huddersfield, Derby...

1. A cryptocurrency requires consensus, so no, you can't have different configs for determining the validity of a chain. Making it a config variable only makes it faster to close the barn door after the horse has bolted. 2. Has no bear

It is possible to dislike (or even hate) someone, without allowing yourself to be exploited. Apart from anything else, you are giving ammunition to the other side by doing so.

That's centralization, which is the opposite of what's intended and has its own risks. Most blocks are mined by pools, so you'll have to whitelist them, and while you might trust the pool operators now, will you forever? You&

The question is why certain people found believable in the first place. "May become synonymous" implies they're not already, in which case this instance wouldn't be believable. In reality, people who believed this probab

That isn't possible - miners don't have an "identity" to blacklist.

It's not that simple. The law the BBC article is referring to[1] was a regulation, i.e. secondary legislation, passed by resolution. Had it been primary legislation, the courts wouldn't have been able to overturn it (Parliament is

That sounds at least on par with, if not worse than, than rolling women's rights back. How would it be enforced?

It doesn't mandate any of that, it's an optional feature. The data pins are repurposed for analog audio, so it won't work with hubs. You'd of course need a DAC for output and an ADC for mic input, but the point is to rep
