Unless the price per hour is very cheap, I’d rather pay for the coffee. There are a few work cafés around me that really don’t care if you stay 6 hours and only purchase a granola bar.

Right, but there are mixing wallets and private coins so why bother with NFT?

But this isn’t NFT? I was hoping for an analysis on methods and volumes in the whole ecosystem.

People keep talking about using NFTs for laundering but as a criminal I’d be very wary and just go with the traditional ways. Has there been any actual studies on money laundering through crypto?

The US is an exception in its fragmented banking system. Usually there's no conflict of legality between state and federal government, and banks are consolidated in a few big players that are pretty eager to satisfy business owners dem

Stressing about how “wasteful” social media is, is NOT a practical method of reducing social media usage. Guilt is often a trigger for more addiction. I think it’s nice one in a while to have a perspective of how you spend your time, but mo

I’ve been using such services once in a while and I can tell you, the point is very well made right in the first try. I do agree it’s going to be hard to make this profitable without trampling on the workforce, but meanwhile I’m getting ice

That’s a bit too extreme to me (and already covered by unit tests). Code reviews are good mostly for asking questions, not dictating changes.

Refactoring by definition doesn’t fix things though so parent comment is still right

Asking if a publicly traded company this big is good or bad is pointless. A corporation is psychopathic; if it goes Patrick Bateman or Dexter Morgan depends on the environment. The current environment incentivizes expanding the developer ec

Look for countries where the USD is in a 5y high. Brazil, for instance, was 2.5:1 a few years back... it's now 5.2:1. I imagine one or another G20 country that didn't handle COVID very well can be in a similar situation. This won&
