I am in a project where we have to give estimates in hours and days. Needless to say we always underestimate. Or overestimate. Best case we use the underestimated task as buffer for the more complex ones. And it has been years. Giving estim

You would be surprised… Regarding CZ and Binance and the Trumps, they have kind of a symbiotic relationship. After Binance and CZ pleaded guilty to money laundering in November 2023, for which they paid over $4 billions in fines, WLFI (whic

I really want this but I can’t justify such a machine just for watching YouTube. I cannot even give it to my kids since I don’t have multiple accounts with it. Kind of sad that the most interesting device Apple has will never show its true

I once worked for the yellow pages in Switzerland. Our paid clients had a dashboard which reported how many users visited their business entry. We at engineering decided to filter out bots. Figures fell dramatically by more than 50%. In les

When we propose alternatives the answer is that they want to protect customers. But they don’t protect their cash cow from massive daily influxes of scam apps. It’s better one million scam apps generating 50k per month and drowning my two o

I don’t discuss the past. In 2017 it was tether the one that caused the bubble that put BTC at almost 20k, by issuing tokens backed by nothing Now they generate more than 10B per year in profits. And they have been using that to collaterali

I gave you the most dramatic example. So far no undercollateralized, algorithmically backed $1 stablecoin has sustained a reliable peg at scale over multiple years. Zero. Nada. There was always somebody somewhere exploiting it. TerraUSD USN

Dai might have been algorithmically backed but it’s now a flavor of usdc since it’s backed in its majority by usdc. So far all algorithmically backed stablecoins have failed. Remember Terra Luna.

Out of all the models I saw, SailfishOS is the only one that ticks all the boxes for me. Wish there were other alternatives. PinePhone Pro got discontinued. This is truly a duopoly.

When you say you used them… What made you stop? Aside from that it would be nice if somebody knows about a meta quest app that might achieve similar effects. Is that even possible?
