It’s mostly like taking an Uber, but I think the future will have many more instant-car users, since it is so convenient in major cities. There are benefits of course, a self driving taxi could show up configured to your exact specification

Interesting article, but I disagree with the conclusion. Smart car style vehicles never really caught on. They have a poor user experience. Cramped and they don’t feel very safe. Most people can’t ride a motorcycle either. They’re cool, but

You’re absolutely correct, I hate how new cars look between the crumble zones, plasticky everything, and wind tunnel optimizations smoothing every stylistic choice out. They do drive well, crash well, and have sweet fuel economy though. So

I’m not claiming the situation is just or should be ignored, but the option the author seems to be ignoring is to launch without Widevine. Sure, a lot won’t work, but a lot will. Having a vocal community can add a lot of pressure.

Flash loans can totally be (and are) attacked like you describe. In fact much of DeFi can be frontrun. Most commonly it’s large trades to AMMs, where the original buyer ends up getting significantly more slippage than they expected. The fut

there are 15 year old hackers finding 0day kernel exploits and vm escapes. A superintelligent AI would have no problem jumping an airgap and spreading to the entire internet. It could promise anyone it interacted with billions for an Ethern

Keybase showed a lot of promise, but ever since they were bought by Zoom I’ve been hesitant to depend on it. There’s a good chance it’ll be neglected or cannibalized in the future, not to mention the real or imagined CCP influence. Perhaps

Presumably, the vast majority of the nurses working now have either already contracted and recovered from COVID, and are now likely immune, or gone through months of heavy exposure without consequence. I’m not particularly surprised they ar
