They're still a risk. Not knowing the rules can cause a motorist who did absolutely nothing wrong to kill said cyclist or swerve away from the cyclist and kill someone else not even involved, all because of a negligent cyclist. That sa

You're getting downvoted but here in Denmark while you don't need a license to cycle, if you have a driver's license you can lose it for breaking rules while cycling. Cyclists being familiar with the rules is just as importan

Well it's something we're already doing anyway, might as well get a few more years worth of bananas out of it!

That's the "glass is very half-full" way of putting it :) They could've easily gone both ways: block size increase to 2mb, segwit and lightning network. Hell, Litecoin is well on its way to becoming the de-facto transfer

Unrelated. You pay the card issuer with bitcoin and they sell it for eur. As far as they're concerned they only have to pay a one-time fee for transferring the received bitcoin to an exchange and selling it there. Whenever the cardhold

Bitcoin effectively froze when Blockstream decided against increasing block size. The way I see it, bitcoin only stands as the flag-bearer, as (much like bitcoin cash) the transactions are too slow and still cost money. As the ecosystems gr

My biggest problem with this isn't that some DX9 games (including AAA titles like Red Alert 3 and Witcher 1) don't work on newer hardware; I can understand some old titles having trouble running on new hardware. What stings me is

I think blockchains are here to stay, and that's fine; they're extremely interesting. I feel that at the moment they suffer from the problem that a few technologies suffered: they're a solution looking for problems to solve.

Depends a lot on implementation. My example: Netflix at the beginning of shows sometimes says something to the tune of "contains product placement". Several times now once gotten to the end and notice that it didn't stand out

Yeah but at night there's significantly less traffic, so it's ok to stop the trains and rely solely on the bus network because it has enough capacity to handle night traffic. Where I live is an example of that: during weekdays the

I hope you'll forgive me but your post shows a lot of ignorance. I live in Copenhagen, I cycle every day and drive nearly every week. Berlin is hell and I dread driving and cycling there every single time I visit. I swear half the cycl

I take it you've never been any significant amount of time in Copenhagen. There a bicycles for transporting children that are made to transport up to two children, usually up to 3-4 years old, after that they can cycle themselves so I&

As someone who lives in Copenhagen: that's because the cycling lanes system in Berlin is pretty terrible and is set up opposite to how it's set up here, in regards to where the cycling lanes are. Having seen it I'd never try

No, if you owned all the currency from my country, my country would just issue a new currency, which would effectively nullify any value behind the old one. Countries making new currencies is a fairly common event in the past century and th

Following the same logic: what would you pay to own all of a single currency? It'd be completely worthless as nowadays they're not backed by anything.

That would just lead to (further) portfolio diversification, where you buy assets abroad purely as a means to store value instead of keeping all your assets under a single country's control.

It helps that wealthier people have fewer children, so wealth dissipation affects poorer people dis-proportionally.

The difference is that GDAX is part of Coinbase, which is registered as a regular exchange under the New York DFS which puts them under the same regulations as non-crytop exchanges.

Depends on how you define "random" thief. Random as in someone taken randomly from anywhere on earth? Yeah, faceId is likely more secure. Is it random as in someone taken randomly from your city or country (which is the most likel

For the same reason they don't write about the criminal side of using fiat currency. Lots of users are criminals who sell drugs or rob people and are paid in pesky, untraceable coins and banknotes and do it just to receive those.

Nobody is suggesting that a pill should replace exercise in all scenarios; most of us do it because it's damn enjoyable which is why there are so many different forms. Depression is a problem that would exist regardless, the difference

The first argument is flat-out ridiculous. The same argument could be used against farming or housing or even building communities. The second is very real and of course requires us to tread very carefully but shouldn't be a reason to
