It costs $1 to increase the market cap of a fiat pegged stable coin by $1, while changing the market cap of Bitcoin is a lot cheaper because there's no safe way for a market maker to provide substantial liquidity for it. At any time th

Bluetooth scanning is actually considered a location privilege on Android already. You see lots of angry reviews on apps for accessing Bluetooth devices saying "this app has no business accessing my location", not realizing the co

Were the other products ETNs? For an ETF like SVXY, you are buying ownership of the underlying derivatives contracts. For an ETN like XIV, there is no underlying instrument, and you are buying exactly* the index value (which is why I boug

There could easily have been escape sequences for released keys, just like there are for non-character keys like the arrow keys. You'll have to change your terminal emulator to support this too, though. This would work fine with SSH.

Isn't the main function of Facebook to allow users to upload or enter contents for others to view? It seems like people here tend to think of ad profiles as the only data that matters, but Facebook "collects" messages you pos

I think they're talking about the edge of a shadow moving perpendicular to the light, as opposed to a shadow moving away from the light.

What would this table look like if Monty always revealed a goat? Would any win or lose row be added or removed? I know the result is right, but I don't think this table illustrates the reason.

This is confounded by the fact that they were also offered money to leave. I suspect the results would have been different if they paid 6 months of salary to the ones who stayed instead.

Prices move, but the move from month 0 to month 12 is highly dependent on the move from month 1 to month 13. It's statistical nonsense to treat them as independent variables in a regression model. You could use any biased random walk a

Each data point covers 10 years, and there's only 20 years of data. There should be only two points on the graph. The other points are just blends of the two independent time periods. The implied decision is whether to invest over the

Presumably they are using bounce rates, i.e. how often you visit result N+1 after visiting result N. I hope time spent on site N is not a large factor, because it's so easily gamed.

They really only need to be tagged to prevent replay attacks and signed.

I'd recommend blocking the entire channel each time you see a video like this, and also go through the top hundred recommended videos or so and block all the channels with content you don't like. I've only blocked a few dozen

AstraZeneca did respond a few hours ago saying that they included data only up to the interim analysis cutoff point. I don't think this makes any sense; the point of the cutoff is to prevent too many analyses of the same data, not to l

Excuse my ignorance, because I haven't looked into NFTs too carefully, but how do you decide which blockchain (or even block) is authoritative for a given item? Seems like something like a painting could be sold on an unlimited number

What you're talking about doesn't describe my problem. My only problem is that sites spend any time at all asking about cookies or tracking, which I can control on my end anyway.

by mortehu 6y ago
If there was a browser setting to accept (or reject) all cookies regardless of intended use, that would actually solve the problem for many. Just because many people want to make case by case decisions, we shouldn't have to burden ever

Yes, even NYC didn't force people to stay inside, but drastically expanded outdoor dining, closed down streets in neighborhoods without parks so people can walk outside, and has kept playgrounds open since June 22nd.

Are you saying taoism's longevity comes from the application of superior models of physics?

An important caveat is that they also post lots of normal content, so that it's harder to argue that RT should be blocked outright, and harder to identify the propaganda.

If you're hosting lots of malware on different subdomains, there is harm in Google telling you which ones it detected. You could use that information to keep hosting the undetected malware, perhaps out of laziness.

That's a specific type of shorting. In financial markets you can also enter swap agreements, or sell futures or call options. The key is that GameStop seeks to profit from price depreciation. Just for fun we could imagine GameStop seek

Re trade-ins, should GameStop even be allowed to buy back games after selling them to you? That's like short selling.

Can you explain how this prevents forks? An example of a fork would be someone creating a new client that rejects transactions from old clients.

The hair dryer, unlike a blockchain, is not a technology for durable, immutable and highly available storage, so I wouldn't judge it based on energy per byte second.

Counterexample: when I recently read about its energy consumption (per byte stored), I sold my bitcoins in disgust, at roughly today's prices. I've held almost continuously since 2011, although I trimmed my position a few times. I

Chains are amended, not mutated. Consensus about what new blocks to accept to the chain can change at any time. For example the chain following the original Ethereum rules is now called Ethereum Classic and its market cap is less than 0.5

Agreed. I once owned a 30 year old two stroke moped. It was very easy to fix. In fact I fixed it almost every week.

There's no point in hoping, because the 606 forms on their website clearly say they send lots of orders to exchanges too.
