Unfortunately no. It's constantly changing, and you only get a peak into how it all works when there's a massive expose/leak such as the Panama Papers.

This is not a solution, it also adds a whole slew of other problems. Also saying hashes are irreversible doesn't actually make that so.

Deeper regulation doesn't do what you think it would. They need to retool the incentives and taxes, basically make it so its not worth growing beyond 8% marketshare. Anything larger and you get coercion, influence, and monopolistic pra

No, this bloomberg columnist is just writing what their bosses want them to write. Its mass manipulation on a grand scale, they want to blame the consumer for inflation, instead of the real cause. Anyone that knows anything realizes what a

Em, this isn't meant as a snipe but has to be said because you clearly didn't read and comprehend. Read what was said, and make sure you look up the definition of words like over-generalization beforehand (its a logical fallacy).

Article doesn't look credible. Looks more like a malign influence piece meant to distract. Takes an identity politics approach, mixes in a small bit of truth, and a lot of insufficiently backed opinion, with known flawed metrics to bac

Honestly, based off what you said, in my opinion you clearly lack credibility. The very least you could do is properly quote what I actually said instead of poorly paraphrasing, and then holding that paraphrase up as an example (with a diff

It all really depends on your definition of IT person. Some IT Helpdesk people are most definitely not IT, they just have a knowledge base they look things up, assuming they can' understand what you are saying. Many companies offshore

Well that is a very common trap with writing, not choosing an appropriate audience for what you are writing about will send you down a rabbit hole. There are some things you simply cannot explain to a beginner audience because they lack the

In all fairness, to me this reads as more of a rant man-splation for why thing's aren't productive, and largely misses the point. Its also fairly niche and specific to developers that have a very developer-only mindset. Anyone who

Depends on how you define financially stressed. I call negative cash flow financially stressed, they seem to have a different definition. Overall it will probably trend closer to 90% as hyper-inflation hits.

Having just short of 15 years of personal experience with this I can say with certainty, the issue is accountability. There simply is none, and what's considered fraud in any other industry is just business as usual.
