Whenever I send a wire, I have to prove the name of recipient, that being a company or a person. Why would I wire it to an unrecognised name?

Am I missing something here? They've been using plasma ever since the early breakout in China. Why is this being treated as a breakthrough out of a sudden?

But I wonder how much effort is being put into it though. Take the Sars outbreak. They tried developing a vaccine, and failed. Everybody just assumed it was impossible to create a vaccine for a coronavirus, as we never had one anyway. Now w

OPDS may work fine to distribute free digital catalogs, but I find it pretty hard to integrate it with purchased material. You definetely won't have the same experience as a proprietary platform. So your end - user downloads a random o

I feel conflicted by this expectation from people that bitcoin will continually grow ad eternum, just because the supply is limited. I'm a believer on cryptocurrencies, but bitcoin being a first generation project, still has several pi

Who said governments don't tax capital gains for fiat currencies? Honestly, it's pretty much the same thing. Example : https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individ...

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

But you're making an assumption here that both the sender and recipient will be using fiat currency in the end, and that crypto is only being used as means to make the transfer. This is not necessarily true.

Isn't that overcomplicating things though? If tracing is a concern, why not use Monero instead?

For the sake of mental health and privacy, I hope this product crashes and burns.

The fact that everyone accepts the level of centralization for a platform like Twitter is crazy. It should be a decentralised platform, and nobody else, besides the owner of the account, should hold the keys to it.

Something is not adding up. Why would you go through so much trouble and over-engineer a favicon retrieval service? Really, favicon? Since when did they become so essential? I'm pretty sure 90% of websites provide one in a standard way

The terminology issue just shows us that people have got way too much spare time during the pandemic.

Why is that you, and other people here, are treating a contract like it's law? Companies can put pretty much anything they want in a contract, it does not mean its enforceable. You have to take into account your jurisdiction.

Zoom seems to be botching this unique opportunity that the pandemic has presented to them. They are getting dragged way too deep into a geopolitical crisis. I know several companies in N. America that are already transitioning from them. Th

Some media conglomerates, like CNN, were clearly using this study as a political attack. Not uncommon these days to cherry pick your favourite paper. On top of that, there is no patent money to be made by big pharmaceuticals on this drug. I

How do you know it has E2E? The app itself is closed source. As far as anyone is concerned, it's all claims. How do they handle the private keys, for example? Any backdoor?

A lot of people seem to hope the vaccine will lead to the end of the pandemic, but that won't happen necessarily. That's not what ended the Spanish Flu pandemic. There's a limit on how far pandemics can go, even considering m

That's my argument against two - factor authentication, which is spreading like herpes across workplaces. I like having my phone off and far from me during work hours, but 2FA made it impossible.

It seems that anecdotal evidence of young people dying of COVID-19 is the trend of the moment. Not sure if it's just cheap clickbait or the goal is to make younger generations to actually care about social distancing. The deal is that

I'm not the one saying it, authorities are. That's the only way to flatten the curve.

Something does not add up about the advice. Specially given that Eastern authorities encourage the use of makes by the general public. Which part of the World is better handling this pandemic?

You'd think that engineers from top - tier tech companies would know better, before sharing sensitive information on some random website.
