Well, GCP followed that principle as their service account auth mechanisms did not fall over. So if you were to compare with AWS, it looks like something similar was happening. The infrastructure running the auth service, like any service,

Because pixelation doesn't attract attention as much as black box and is therefore a better placeholder. A black box with sharp edges has much more contrast than all the legit elements in the image and becomes visually dominant whereas

That article is interesting, but I have to ask about the conclusion: > Beyond the financial case for Bitcoin, its rise as a non-sovereign store of value will have profound geopolitical consequences. A global, non-inflationary reserve cur

Right. It's scaled up. I suppose that if people became suddenly interested in old stamps to the tune of billions of dollars, stamp-dealing would also start competing for resources with the rest of the economy.

It makes sense to me about as much as the trade in ancient coins, stamps, and other collectibles. These are reasonable asset classes if you like gambling, with a somewhat fixed supply, not a lot of industrial applications, and wild price fl

It's unlikely that voters would be ok with all-around corruption of the police, but not unlikely at all that they'd be ok with, for example, harassment or overuse of force against minorities. Historically the Jim Crow south is a d
