The demand seems to be "institutionalised" since a couple of years. VC-like money coming in through cryptocoin service startups and disposable income from rich nerds and richer finance types looking to beat the market. It'll

Alternatively we select for the hardier species. Maybe that'll correlate with sophistication and "intelligence". The octopode uprising is afoot!

The scenarios you describe are excellent use cases for Ketamine which is an incredibly strong hypnotic. French EMT-equivalents use it for severe out-of-hospital cases while opioid derivates are used for diagnosed, chronic needs. What are th

GAAP or not if I have $BIGINT tied up on a boat haul (there's a joke about liquidity in here somewhere) with no returns while the operational cost of the task to be done rises, there's a cost.

Well if we assume users are malicious that sounds ripe for a waterhole attack, so please, go ahead! On the other hand if it becomes a standard place for tax-related information to the general public it could be a good thing.

As far as I understand the term security refers to the properties of such assets that make them useful to hedge or otherwise balance the tradebook without having to worry about the concrete underlying assets' particulars.

I'm stupid as well so don't take this as gospel. A security is a fictional asset used to represent higher level operations one can conduct on an underlying asset. Basically it's all the made up tradable assets. The specific d

I dislike algorithms that I understand, and I distrust algorithms that I don't when it comes to stuff like social security or insurance. Smart contracts by composition would be really nice. Like a compile to EVM lisp!

That's a lot of effort to spare yourself a conversation about convention within your friends and a small money pot. Smart contracts fit really well for generally managing securities, developping auto hedging portfolios.

I'd argue most consumer insurance programs depend a lot on interpretation. You don't want to be exposed to Inadvertent Algorthmic Cruelty when you're in a situation where your civil insurance should kick in. IMO Smart contrac

Actually the way CCP handles marketing for their game is not too far from this; a little less cheeky, buuut you get the same message. They're not trying to humanise the org, they pitch updates and features by a technical lead attached

No. Pills. For real, I'm not trying to be cute. Unless you're pronounced clinically depressed by a couple doctors, one should avoid the official benzo & related "happy pills". One thing that might help, is try to m

It's a matter of scope. You can build a secure currency exchange protocol: I have yet to hear of a technical issue with BTC that threatens its raison d'être. But when you're making a distributed, general purpose, scriptable c

I don't mean to downplay this, but intel's doing it too with their management engine. Don't bash AMD for this specifically, at least now we-consumers have a realistic choice as to the purveyor of backdoors. It's... somet
