You can flip that argument around, though: since e-bikes demand less effort for merely propelling the bike the rider has more leisure to maintain awareness of their surroundings. Depending, of course, on how they choose to spend it.

You don't have to wait 20 minutes for a Bitcoin transaction to clear for the price of an iced coffee, either. For low-value transactions with a low risk of double-spending you can just verify that the transaction made it into the mempo

The national ID link happens at the exchange, via the normal KYC process. You prove your identity to the exchange, and you prove that you have the private key for the wallet by signing a challenge message. That's it. The relevant propo

The source machine may not be set up as a server, or you may not have an account there. Sending a .zip file could be simpler than pushing the repo to a third system the receiver does have access to.

Coinbase definitely doesn't keep all their funds in a hot wallet. They keep enough readily accessible to cover the projected volume of withdrawals; the rest can be kept offline. They even specifically offer a "vault" service

It's hardly "unworkable". There are already systems in place for verifying your own wallets; you just need to sign a message using your key to verify that the wallet is actually yours. So far I haven't seen any proposed

Frontrunning gets you a worse price for your trade, so traders would naturally avoid exchanges which practice it in favor of others which offer a deal. There is no natural monopoly on crypto exchange services, though regulation does tend to

That's not a general observation about all, or even most, "crypto fans" as the earlier comment implied but rather just part of the Ethereum community. And it was still decentralized, as a majority of the users of Ethereum h

This is quite true. Many of the calls for regulation by "crypto people" which I've seen are really just a reaction against an uncertain regulatory environment. In short, they just want the regulators to make up their minds al

As I see it, insider trading rules are less about "information asymmetry" and more about avoiding conflicts of interest between the decision-makers in a company and the investors they are supposed to be working for. It is a given

It seem to me that this is something best handled with tag characters, like ¤XBT + (U+E007F) = ₿ (where the letters are from the tag block, U+E00xx). This mirrors one of the two systems for rendering national flags[0], just with a different

Apparently, according to another response from a Google employee, it depends on who logs in first. If you log in with the CPS account and then switch to another non-CPS account, the CPS policies are applied to both.

First, to get this out of the way, there is no meaningful sense in which OTP fails any of these IND-CPA/CCA1/CCA2 games. Depending on how you formulate the preconditions, either the games are simply not applicable to OTP and the

You're correct, rsync operates over SSH (or its own native protocol) but runs a copy of the rsync binary on the remote side rather than using the SFTP subsystem.
