Honest question: for those working with those models on offensive security, how much does this move make sense? I am asking because I have seen a growing number of stories about organizations getting owned by either raw mismanagement of sec

The problem is nobody believe those company would ever hand over 10% or even 1% of their turnover to the EU. The EU should be careful with those kind of threats because in the world that is taking shape I can really imagine MS telling them

My guess is a lot of people had too much expectations for blockchain and crypto. I remember here on HN 10 years ago everybody wanted to put everything on a blockchain. Some were betting on the collapse of the financial system. None of those

I believe with x402 and USDC you can pay as low as $0.000001 per HTTP request with no fees. The existing "credit card" infrastructure is not designed to compete with that. Now some actors like Paypal could have come up with an HTT

The original stablecoin, DAI, used since 2017 by a lot of people living in countries ravaged by horrible inflation cannot be taken away. It can just be a smart contract with overcollaterised crypto backing it. And the idea is kind of genius

By the way, I remember the chat apps interoperability in Europe was announced more than 2 years ago but so far no major competitor app have enabled it. What are our options today to chat with WhatsApp users without using their app?

Same problem with IPv4. We've been paying for v4 and v6 for decades but somehow we cannot get rid of v4. My guess is there are a lot of interests at play.
