No, a halving means miners get half of the Bitcoin rewards given the same amount of mining time and effort. The network emits 6.25 bitcoins every 10 minutes and that revenue will decrease to 3.25 bitcoin every 10 minutes. The purpose of thi

There’s a halving coming up in about 40 days which means the miners may reduce their mining and energy potentially about half. Then another halving again every 4 years thereafter.

I keep hearing this same news story but nothing is happening. Maybe if this doesn’t get enough momentum, finding the phone numbers of the FCC chairmen and telecom company presidents and signing them up for spam would do the trick. It’s one

Should just apply to Telcos over a certain subscriber size. So, the Big 3 only. Don’t want to squash new competition into the market with new regulations.

How would someone even calculate this? Aren’t all bitcoins mined initially completely anonymous by design? I’d like to see the math behind this calculation because it seems more likely to be a made up number to support some kind of agenda.

None of the streaming sites have Dollface anymore and we pay for all of them. But torrents do and it’s a terrific show. Perhaps torrent sites are winning this war instead?

Perhaps the solution is to not let nudes cause damage. As an example, look at how Amazon founder Jeff Bezos treated the situation when a nude was lifted off of his phone by a middle eastern hacker. His response was: “So what?”. We’re in the

Do they use an oil based generator to power the lights in the convenience store or the payment processors?

They’re getting paid when they discover people are breaking the weird little useless rules they wrote. As Adam Smith wrote in the Wealth of Nations: “Power is money”. Remove their power and you give money back to the people. It’s weird this

Yes, especially at the big banks. Either they became big by making more money charging fees or they stopped caring about their customers because they’re too big to care. Smaller online banks & credit unions typically don’t have any fees

That escalated quickly. The topic above isn’t about espionage (which also have penalties in the US), it’s about what type of regulations the government should place on foreign social media companies like TikTok or unfortunately in this case

First, the trade war already started with China banning US companies domestically. Second, it’s not like the US can’t trade more with its South American neighbors instead anyways.

Yeah, they really need to add variety and not just the royalty-free variety. Perhaps playing songs not in any of your existing playlists or recent listening history is easy to implement.

No, GDP is Gross Domestic Product. It’s a measure of economic activity, not income. An analogy on a smaller scale: Visa’s GDP is the sum of all transactions that occur on its network. You wouldn’t call any of that income except the sliver s
