I get the impression that these incidents (if this is the case again) are due to Tesla being confident in their camera-based approach (with mid-range radar). Other manufacturers seem to be emphasizing hardware to a greater extend, with Aud

>But not bigger than a hundred that came before it. And even if it was, it doesn't warrant a new word. I agree in the Buffalo case, but the Nevada one is the largest factory in existence by footprint (Boeing wins by volume).

I took this as a point of explaining what Oracles are/do. Too often Ethereum proponents skip talking about Oracles when it comes to discussing attack vectors on Eth smart contracts.

I think it's more likely that some PM had a Q4 goal of "Launch Beta product/press" and hit that goal with what they had.

In theory segwit and offchain settlement layers (namely Lightning) can/will speed things up/reduce fees without raising the block limit. FWIW I think that they should have done both.

I meant "them" as a category (debt collectors) not "them" as a specific company. Your debt is trivially transferable; getting one company to stop is just engaging in a perverse game of whack-a-mole.

I'm very surprised that they stopped bothering you. I got debt collector calls for years for someone who used to have my number. For a while I tried to get them to stop calling me by asking for the name of their collection agency (75

This may have been good advice previously, but the IRS has issued guidance on buying/selling BTC and mining. The former is treated as capital gains, the latter income. AFAIK they have not issued guidance on coin conversions (probably

You're right in your main point that it's a massive pain, but let's talk BTC/BCC. Disclosure: I'm a novice. BCC has "replay protection" meaning it uses a different transaction signing mechanism than BTC s
