maybe because the country with the FED can print new dollars and spend it on stuff they like (infrastructure bill, paying back debt, …) while such dollarized countries, (beside yes the short term stable currency) just see medium-long term

after a halving (every 210.000 bitcoin blocks, roughly every 4 years), all other things being equal (bitcoin price, energy price, bitcoin fees, … and enough chip production), the energy consumption would get cut in half (as the reward gets

how do you know that garlic+oil could produce botulism? I think I haven’t understood what kind of food + low oxygen/low acid + room temperature might create botulism… could you help me understand? I derived that most of those things ar

I am not a Musk fanboy either, but you probably haven’t seen the recent 3 part video “Starbase tour with Elon Musk”. He states at least once that he is wrong all the time. At other moments he says other similar things (but sometimes more re

I hope we wouldn't have to go through a bunch of sleepless nights for doing nothing bad. There are semi random checks of "suspicious behaviour" being done in masses. These things can get out of hand sometimes (redefining what

yes that’s why less secure (economicly game theoric wise) blockchains need longer confirmations (of course, it is also dependent of other factors like time to produce a block), as the probability of it happening with longer confirmation tim

good remark, as a 51% attack does does not let you do many things. An attack does not mean, that you can pull off anything. For example with most cryptocurrencies even with an 51% attack you can't change "from who", "to

on Apples shop website I can‘t see a 16Gb Macbook Air. Did I miss it? Or can‘t I see it if there is no availability anymore? Anyone a link?

thanks! Does anyone find the flutter app samples? On the linked website above ( https://spaceuptech.com/ ) they say that they have app sample apps for ... and Flutter. I can't find any on their github repo. Does anyone h

If I am not mistaken they compare AWS (cloud services) with the entire IBM company (cloud services, consultancing business, …). Which would make it a strange comparison (but ok, it would just emphasize the size of AWS)

Yes, it is a band aid, or one solution out of many needed ones, and yes, probably not highest priority in terms of needs. But it doesn't have to be a either...or... And I wouldn't derive from your lack of need from a lack of need

yes. Hopefully that day comes where people understanding that keeping your PII private is for good reasons, and not for hiding anything bad... It is a pitty, that many (most) governments make the life hard (through laws/regulations&#x

1) Can you can explain what "And since been exempt after bad PRs"? Does Apple does not charge for Teaching to a group of students anymore? 2) and is "teaching to a group of students" just an example for teaching to group

I guess it eases the mind when comparing if competitors are below 1000mAh and use that unit prefix. It is easier/faster for the brain to compare 700mAh and 1000mAh than 700mAh and 1Ah

you missed the elephant in the room: bitcoin can almost double (2x) in value every 4 years without an increase of energy usage by miners (if you put a wide enough filter) - I guess most understand that the reason is the supply halving findi

One more thing it saves: Transportation (!) from miles away, as a skyscraper could feed a city or a part of it.

just a little bit more detail: miners are timestamping machines, which main function is to order (!) the transactions. That's it! The is the whole point, everyone/every node verifies the rules, but the network has to agree on some

no, the miners are simply said just timestamping machines (once they got lucky to find a fitting nonce). If they don't follow the rules as set by the users of the system, their blocks will be automatically ignored by the users software

You (or your wallet, or both... depending of your wallet and your settings) choose the fees you like (the wallet could guesstimate based on the current congestion and your time preference). The miners then choose the transactions they want

that‘s not true. Would be true if bitcoin was full premined, but it wasn‘t. There are still 900 new bitcoins mined per day, and with an open source / patent free environment the space is a competitive market, the cost to produce one sh

Awesomely put together with great menu! Does something similar exist for AppUIs? Maybe dribbble.com, but 1) I think that dribbble it is mostly about imaginary designs (cool actually, but I don't get to see the best UIs that do actually
