This doesn't make sense. The main incentive to use Blockchain for payments is that it is decentralized. If that's not a priority, and it's not for governments and big banks, Blockchain doesn't get you much. In fact, the

I think it's also important to highlight commercial USB webcams, like the Logitech 922. They are kinda expensive but still cheaper than a DSLR and will get you all of the low hanging fruits over webcam quality. DSLR would get you benef

It's weird because this is violating a fundamental principle that people generally associate with crypto: if you know the keys, you own the crypto. At least this is the case for Bitcoin.

My understanding is that Displayport is already packetized, having USB4 packetize it again seems suboptimal? I think both Displayport and HDMI have official specs that work over the USB-C connector.

This doesn't well thought out either. What if you need to send larger amounts of money? Sending out money to everyone works when it's a reasonably small amount.

This is a terrible idea. Mistakes of this magnitude are often the result of multiple people making mistakes - so blaming a specific person is wrong. Not to mention that this would force a culture of attributing blame to individuals which is

One thing of note is that there isn't a single format that's optimal for storing tabular data - what's optimal depends on your use case. And if performance doesn't matter much, just use CSV. As a simple example, column b

Other than the reasons already posted, I find it much easier to read code with 80 char line limits vs longer. For me it's like the benefit of reading an article in columnar format - going down vertically just feels more comfortable.

One of the core benefits of C++ is that it is a high level language that's still super close to the hardware. Switching from C++ to other languages, if you have mastered C++, should largely be a question of "what things are automa

It's not necessary to have p(0 <= v < 1) = p(0 <= E < 1). Only that P(f(X)) is uniform. But this does bring up a good point. H(X||Y) = H(f(X)||f(Y)) for any bijective f if the distributions are discrete. When they are conti
