Also, increasing their security team by 1 engineer would have cost them more than $1M (assuming a salary of $100K). So from a pure economic standpoint it makes more sense for them to keep paying fines in future breaches.

I really enjoyed this season. Maybe the fact that is 6 episodes long (I spaced them out throughout a couple of weeks) made me spend more time thinking about it, than the first seasons. I don't think that the quality has slipped. Maybe

I don't think this comment should be downvoted. While I did enjoy this episode, it does stand out in the series. While there is certainly some dark humor throughout the series, this one is straight out dark comedy, from beginning to en

AFAIK they host the GIFs themselves, meaning that they are more of a GIF hosting site than a search engine. This creates two problems: 1. Copyright infringements 2. Hosting costs. EDIT: I opened their main page and scrolled down a little bi

I see. So this is also part of the cross-cutting problem everybody is mentioning here of Apple not catering to the pros.

The way to fix this is increasing the size of the blocks, which is trivial from a technical standpoint, but it has some implications that the current majority of miners are not willing to accept.

Apple also did a fair share of evil things, but it managed to be viewed as cool rather than evil. However, it is obvious that we are talking about subjective things here, and establishing causality is certainly not easy.

While this is true, I think that there is much more to it. FinTech is taking business away from one of the strongest lobbies in the world, the financial sector, and the regulators all around the world seem to be embracing it, even bitcoin.

Not in the real world. If I need to dig one hole I would probably use a shovel, if I need to dig 10,000 holes, I'd probably use an excavator.
