That's relatively easy. 1) Some people are ignorant; 2) Some people are trolls; 3) And some people have an agenda e.g. they're trying to get folk in 1) to buy something.

Maybe. I've just been looking at the UK stats and the divorce rate for <35s has dropped like a stone. It was fairly steady up until the early 90s then has plummeted to a quarter of that level. In contrast, the rate for 35+ peaked

They can and do. What's most useful about blockchain tech is the eventually immutable chronological ordering bit. As an example, 2 parties can enter into a contract. The contract details are signed by both parties. The contract is plac

Interesting logic. The author quotes Satoshi's definition of blockchain which doesn't preclude private blockchains at all. He then quotes a "more accessible" definition that explicitly precludes private blockchains. So f

The problem they were trying to solve was a lack of transparency about what's happening with our data. Now, I thought I was reasonably engaged on this topic and I thought GDPR was overreach. I also thought I was reasonably careful abou

I agree. This is by far the most likely rationale. They've basically taken a leaf out of the Mossad playbook. I'm a bit surprised they don't have Shaggy playing in the background during the press conferences.

This was kind of my original point though. If you do treat them as compile time functions i.e. for a bit of light code gen then they can be super useful. But that's often not the case. In fact, OO is a nice example. It's probably

You are absolutely correct. If you have ever owned a potato peeler or a right-leaning dog, it is imperative that you never set foot in Europe. It's just not worth taking that chance. I'm sure the poor folk in Europe will manage to

The usual approach is to sum the present values of the expectations of any future cashflows. For most cryptocurrencies, most people come unstuck at that point and just punt. The only analytical approach I could foresee being useful would be

I don't think so. The size in BTC is 1143 (according to the article) so this is probably in the new bolivars. Still not sure whether a record in such an inflationary environment means very much but it's a non-trivial amount of BTC
