Latency on that would be even worse than a zoom call.

I stopped carrying my keyfob a few years ago, and just use the mechanical key - mainly because I hate how huge it is, but now I'm starting to think it was a good idea..

Zoom isn't really setup for something like this. Ideally you want something that is one to many (broadcast), is low latency (since the participants would be able to hear the professor talking both in person and over the app), and is re

Has anyone else verified this? I'm shocked to the point of disbelief that this would be a thing in a car manufactured in 2020.

It's the best I've found so far. They have a number of apps (docs, drive, moments, etc), and I wouldn't say they are as good as Google right now, but they are quite workable.

BTC isn't the only option if you are using crypto. Especially in emerging markets, stablecoins seem to be a popular choice.

Bingo. This is the trick GP is likely looking for.

That is simply not true. We were able to eradicate certain illnesses historically using vaccines by getting the vast majority of the population vaccinated, reducing the rate of spread, but they are never a 100% guarantee. I suggest doing so

Compared to the price of a phone, cases are fairly cheap. Is the ability to reuse a case important for other reasons?

I agree it's a ways off from a user experience point of view, but people are willing to put up with a lot of "effort" if it's something they really want. This very well could be the impetus necessary to make crypto used

What type of fraud? It seems to me that it would make it basically impossible to defraud a merchant with a stolen payment method (much like cash). Do you mean merchants defrauding their customers?

The reason the distinction is meaningful here is that Apple end to end encrypts iCloud uploads, meaning that Apple does not have access to the files. Scanning on the device is this weird middleground where they do sort of have access, and i

There are a number of "smart contract" insurance companies already, Nexus Mutual is one of the main ones, and the rate of return after paying for insurance on a number of platforms exceeds what normal banks would pay you.

It really doesn't have to be "junk" though. My last 2 cars have been 5 or 10 years old, and they both drove great, and didn't have any maintenance issues I wouldn't have expected in a new car. Both were in the 5 - 1

I tend to agree. A few years ago someone totaled my car, and I decided to try living without it. At the time I calculated the cost of ownership, and for a 5 or 10 year old car, it really isn't all that expensive. Part of the problem is
