The problem is that NFTs aren't legally binding (and they really should never be, I'll start the campaign to assinate anybody who tries that). It's all well and good to say you are selling some deed, but that doesn't pro

The big problem is the buying anything with it. If you could buy stuff with it and it wasn't an absolute headache (install app, pay transaction fees) and it was easier, it would be more popular. That would also remove the "it'

Hmm, for web forms this has been overcomplicated for the past decade...without needing to worry about security even. In a trusted world, you still need to worry about order of operations, resource exhaustion, and redundant resiliency...as t

It's actually not about the browser config, its all about the graphics - this reminds me in firefox you could customize the UI easily with an overlay image. That would defeat this attack, assuming it was random/undetectable. Maybe

I think C# is incredibly close to Java in this regard. Not in the specifics of e.g. your problem, but the big "solutions" tend to be very enterprise solution-y, single-goal orientated. Spring in JAVA (also J2EE) had a similar sort

Keep in mind I've never done ASP.NET (only desktop development): The old C# stuff is indeed crusty, intermixed with hot nonsense from the Balmer days. Latest Framework version is I'd say OK, nothing to write home about, newer stuf

The sibling comment says it more in depth, succinctly: You don't own your own money. This is somewhat true in practice with credit, checking accounts - only large entities are allowed to even make purchases such as cars, houses anymore

It's the same reason Nintendo makes money reselling games from 5-10 years ago - there was nothing wrong with the software (from a standalone, I want to play this game or this movie, perspective). Yeah sure you can dig through lots of s

More complex systems are liable to create more complex problems... I don't think you can get away from this - yes, can solve a problem, but if you model problems as entropy, increasing complexity increases entropy. It's like the m

I find it more interesting the lack of comments than anything else - I'm not sure this software is a good idea, but regardless, nobody uses long form messaging anymore? I.e. if you write anything, you likely already have a solution you

Part of the problem it could be argued is the CC card here - you want my CC number? Fine. I should have to initiate the transaction, hit "Go", not the other way around. I can block charges, but this would be a more valid reason if

The flip side to being a libertarian is that you still support legislation to e.g. breakup monopolies and protect 'basic' rights, as needed. A sibling comment mentions Trump - he went so far in the opposite direction there is a co
