I like how Bertrand Russell viewed that: "Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover." Math isn't b

The coins themselves can be tracked on the blockchain, but once they're deposited on an exchange, the coins join a general pool and accounting external to the blockchain (such as what account on the exchange was credited for a coin&#x2

The transactions are recorded on the blockchain. However, like USD money laundering, there are techniques for concealing the overall cash flow in order to make forensic analysis difficult. Also, once coins have been deposited on an exchange

That's a great point. In that case, I would prefer a video conference call or an online service that allows collaborators to share a paint canvas or some other kind of unrestricted drawing board. Again, this is personal preference, but

I disagree with the characterization that it's comparable to a gun to the head. In Lena's case, she was offered a way to make money, she considered the decision, took it, then used the money she made to start an independent life f

I think it's important to keep in mind that Lena Forsen (and the other models of Playboy) made the decision to be photographed nude and to have those photos published as a creative expression. To portray the exhibition as exploitative
