Bias, according to google: > prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. Data can't be bias. It can be a misrepresentation or inaccurate, but not bias

Yes, but there are two facts that will short circuit privacy. 1. By the very nature, blockchain is public. If the wallet can verify a transaction goes from one user to another, it's not private. You can obscure all you want, but you fr

This is one of those things that the people who welcome the march towards crypto or cashless seem to forget, ignore, or don't consider important. Privacy of what you do with your money is important. I know Vemmo is an extreme example,

I wish people wouldn't just default to Ubuntu 18.04. Fedora Workstation (28) runs laps around Ubuntu in terms of features and divers.

I can install any Repo i want and pull packages I want from there. Windows has a closed monopoly where you only have one choice, where I can use any Fedora/Ubuntu mirror I want (I can even make my own).

Linux is the OS I need to reinstall every few months. It's like where Windows was during 7. I think a big reason is that if version 0.1.0 installs a config file, version 0.9.3 won't override it- even if it has better defaults.

I think the one area that Python won't fit in is low level languages such as C/C++. I can easily see Rust taking over that space. Java is never going to go away, but let's hope Scala becomes more popular. Neither is C#. I

asyncio is a feature, not a requirement. Most people will never need to use it or the threading library will meet their use case. Every language will get more complex as you dig into it, but most people don't need to go beyond the surf

I would try Fedora 28, or if you are a bit more technical- Arch. I'm running Arch on a 13" and it works flawlessly. I've had a lot better experiences using Fedora when compared to Ubuntu.

You can't really compare ARM and x86_64 chips. I'm going to use a crude example. Think of the ARM chip being one of those USPS Trucks ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Small_U

In the source video, it shows that the chip is downclocking to 2.2GHz under sustained load. There is nothing any software can do about that as that's hardware doing it. The OS can govern how the fans spin up, but all CPUs will throttle

Are you saying that there is no reason for GDPR to exist? None at all? It has nothing to do with all the data leaks that have happened, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica collecting information, invasive targeted ads?
