The top ten most traded collections last week are all knockoff cryptopunks (ranked 17), which itself is bulk-generated crap from a combination of templates. It's hard to imagine a more cynical industry.

The one exception I can think of is a bug in the mssql datetime type (but not date or datetime2) where strings in that format are assumed to be yyyy-dd-mm if the locale dateformat is dmy (e.g. British English).

Cryptocurrency projects have squandered a decade of good faith with no useful product. They've done a great deal of harm in that period, so I can't see even the current level of mild negative sentiment as sustainable.

Maybe it would be simpler at an international level rather than for individual companies? E.g. based on last year's co2 vs rolling 5 years average, calculated by weather satellites rather than self-reported. I've got no idea how g

It's not a debate so much as occasional attempts at grifting that get shot down immediately.

GUSD isn't FDIC insured, unless their homepage has it wrong. It's the dollar accounts in Gemini's name that are FDIC insured. So if there's an exploit where GUSD can be stolen/duplicated, or if Gemini defaults the i

If the price goes higher, it only gets worse as a transactional currency. Those are in direct opposition.

Sponsorblock is a similar premise, just crowdsourced rather than ai.

Excessive consumption as fashion has gone the other way for young kids. Environmentalism seems to be "cool af",to the point where not owning a car is virtue signalling.

Banning miners would send them to the next-most corrupt country with cheap energy. A more meaningful move would be to ban exchanges, so that miners can no longer take exit liquidity at the expense on retail "investors".

The next natural step in that direction would be banning all exchanges from banking in hard money. It would push people to p2p, at the expense of cryptocurrency prices. Big win for the environment and people hoping to use crypto as currency

51% just doesn't feel like a meaningful threat model when governments can instead prevent exchanges offering monero pairs from accessing banking services in their country/currency.

Those could be a package manager and a web page. Microsoft did this to themselves by not having a standard package manager installed by default.

"Do not track" is exactly the feature you're talking about and already exists in all common browsers. What it's missing is a reason for websites to comply, which is what a law could enforce.

More importantly it's worth a small fortune to kraken if not claimed by the customer. Their financial incentives aren't aligned with customers.

If people are spending 1500 on a phone rather than 750 each on laptop/phone, the performance isn't necessarily worse. That's the real killer feature.

I got 17bn, but with constantly changing prices a rough figure is fine. Here's the previous day's block reward and current price. https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/ The other thing about mining is the their

This is a neat result of scope creep. The race between web C#/python and local javascript could make becoming a "full stack" dev easier at least.

Strafe in shooter games is a movement relative to the direction you're facing without turning. So on a standard two-stick controller layout your left stick is strafe and your right is aim. I expect more people have played halo than flo

Bitfinex already did it once that we know of. It's not too absurd.

There are some regex AI tools already - e.g. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/convertfrom-string... It's what excel uses for power query's "column from examples" too.

ConvertTo-Json is a second example, if you're in that ecosystem.

I worked at a European bank ten years ago, and libor was at least one leg of effectively every product offered. Interest rate swaps, credit, loans, fixed income, exotic derivatives, CDO, whatever. You have to hedge the interest rate risk so

There was a update on bitcoin last year ("taproot") to improve that issue. Prior to that it was absolutely the case that multiple sender addresses caused multiple fees. Not sure about other cryptocurrency.

In the case of name/appearance, those things can be strongly correlated with protected categories like race and gender. E.g. Consider a similar legal exclusion to only people called Nguyen or Mohammed or Singh.
