I'm sorry, but if the ledger wallet was actually compromised it would be an extremely sophisticated zero day hack that the hackers would not compromise being exposed over a few hundred thousand. The fact he saved a screenshot on his iP

>Do the people in nearby developing countries speak English? In most pacific island, yes. In places like East Timor English it's not uncommon at all, news is also often shared via relatives who live abroad. Do you really think china

I think more importantly, the government realized how badly Facebook could hurt their influence in the Asia Pacific region. Without Australian news on Facebook, people in nearby developing countries would be getting their international news

I find it odd the only accusation they list against Whatsapp is it was sending metadata, then list a group of alternatives who largely use the same metadata. I understand the hate for Facebook and why people are obviously skeptical. But is

Why does comic-con pay famous actors to appear? I assume because it attracts the type of audience they see as their customers. Hedge fund billionaires, bankers and policy makers on the other hand aren't going to show up to listen to wh

I assume it's organized to attract and bring it wealthy individuals, who I suspect are not the easiest to get time with. When you think about it, it's a small price to pay to get a large group of billionaires in the same room and

No. Credit worthiness should be because of an individuals past actions and not some attribute they may have been born with. Why should a tall individual who's never missed a payment have some invisible penalization applied because some

What I don't understand, is why the government is trying to push through a law and seem ok with a result of the complete removal of access to news from peoples two largest sources. During a pandemic, with continually occurring lockdown

The average salary in Australia is $55k, the average in the Philippines is $3.9k. Not taking in to account disposable income that's about a factor of 15. The entire philippines only has 4 times the population of Australia. The 2 market

I can't wait until they realize all the money they spend lobbying resulted in a law that will remove the majority of their traffic and what's left of their ad revenue. Nobody is replacing Facebook in the Australian market, and no

I'm not on the side of the banks. The problem is people think they're hurting hedge funds, but the reality is the ones who will end up hurt most are the people who can't afford to take the losses.
