Historical context of a country matters a lot when judging the extent of a surveillance problem. Chinese are terrified of chaos and disorder, which has in the past has led to civil wars. For them the first priority is keeping the status quo

Ouch for my crypto investment, makes no difference to my crypto product. And that's the point, price of bitcoin is irrelevant to most crypto products. We're in the business of Fiat > Crypto > Fiat instant money transfers whi

I’m not saying I’m a serious talent, but I’d sell my soul for the right price. Assume many others would do too.

Most coins are ERC20 coins. These coins might dance around all day, but the DJ is Ethereum. That's what you should be really holding.

Yeah how about accurate documentation, properly followed standards (just lol at Azure AD’s version of “OIDC”) and sensible architecture so that one doesn’t need so much hand holding? Our experience of Azure has been nothing but delays, mise

Still in its infancy it seems but frankly I'd hate for this to develop into a "thing". It's already hard to switch off in this crazy world, next up: Thought advertisements.

I personally enjoy what the article described work and life being mixed together. I do what's expected of me in a lot fewer hours than 8 and get to enjoy my day instead of being stuck to a desk pretending to do work.

We immediately need a phone and laptop feature called "Border crossing mode". Once you can perhaps active anytime but only gets deactivated once you're physically in a predefined location.

I love this. But go ahead and have a look at the "Who's hiring" post and you'd be correct to think that investing in languages like Clojure does limit your career choices. It's depressing I know. I will always write

Well that's why airlines like Ryanair exist. If say Lufthansa is booked up by Chinese tourists and prices are rocketing, that leaves a gap in the market that these airlines fill. Also people aren't stupid. They shop around and fin

Lots of tourist from outside Europe use "hub" airports and then travel to their final destinations, often using low cost airlines. This why German and Dutch airspaces are so busy.

Let's see your argument for it collapsing. It's been very volatile sure, but you'd still get insane gains if you invested just last year. BTC has gone up 45% in the past year. 1015% in 2 years. source: https://cryp

Yeah this article's reasoning is some next level BS. Of course Google will bend it's western norms and policies to whatever the Chinese demand. Even more so after entering China, they wouldn't simply decide not to comply and

Brazil, like most of South (and now perhaps north too?) America suffers from macho populism. A lot of character politicians with tough messages, empty promises and sadly the population just falls for it every time. These stats, along with o

While still shocking, life in Brazil isn't the kinda Aleppo like bloodshed this article portrays. Majority of victims are young male gang members sucked into the drug turf wars.

According to such articles bitcoin has been crashing for nearly 10 years. The problem often being it being compared to other assets. It's a totally new concept and has never followed any previous pattern in human history.
