As with any software, bugs can be fixed or forked out. The risk of it going to zero is smaller than most people think. Remember the inflation bugs Bitcoin had in it's early days? [1] 1: https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com&

At least on the ethereum side they are moving to a Proof of Stake system which doesn't require the insane hardware and energy that Proof of Work consensus requires. So there will be some relief on the horizon. Also, I expect over time

I find myself prototyping automations in Node Red before "productionising" the code in YAML. It's great for visualising flows but nothing beats automations running directly within HA. One fewer service to crash.

Even when you know how to script up automations, I still find Node Red invaluable for visualising and rapidly prototyping complex logic before you write a single line of code. Plus, it is the perfect accompaniment to Home Assistant.

They probably mixed up their spent output with the fee output. It happens from time to time and some miners are happy to send the funds back. But it'll be interesting to see what happens in this case when it's $23m.

The poor UX behind gpg dissuaded me (and likely many others) from using it. Love the tree layout that's used here... time to get back into gpg.

Yes, raw asafoetida has an awful smell. However, cook it/roast it and it becomes palatable and the fragrance develops into something rather distinctive and compelling.

Even before it gets to that point, they routinely display snippets off regular websites and show ads next to it. Keeping users from clicking through to organic results helps them generate more revenue.

It's not just atmosphere and g-forces. The cold temperatures mean the helicopter spends 2/3 of its battery power keeping the batteries and electronics from freezing. Good rundown of how it was built: https://www.youtube

It's a plain chromium fork with open source code. There's no funny business about changing how a browser should work, like putting the address bar at the bottom. And the ad blocker in it is native - No need for additional extensio

And consider the volume of false claims Twitter receives each day. If everyone reported tweets that were CSAM just to take down a random post they disagree with, I'm sure moderators would make the occasional false negative.

The intent behind spyware and Equifax's data leak are not comparable. On one hand we have companies selling spyware for unlawful data collection (like wiretapping). On the other hand Equifax collects the data through partnerships and d

They most certainly will... But at least the money was sent. Nothing they can do to stop that.

No, his point seems to be that bitcoin can be transferred without the approval or moral judgement imposed by a third party (e.g. bank). Try sending $1B around the world to your Nigerian uncle and seeing what happens.

Not entirely correct, Brave allows its own (and others') first party trackers. I'd suggest using ublock origin for greater control. https://twitter.com/BraveSampson/status/1266034313142861824?...

It's always a slippery slope when companies morally compel themselves to block use cases from their service. I welcome this move from Amazon, but I hope it doesn't foreshadow more moral bans in future e.g. spurred on by the next a
