Uploading your daily business, personal photos, and down to what you eat to a profile on someone else's servers was never a good idea from the very start. I find it pretty amusing how it becomes outrage and parroting after the fact that bad news comes out about Facebook. We knew what Facebook was doing in 2008-2012 era as well but nobody parroted these old and tired narratives then.
As an ISP engineer, I can tell you my company has numbers and figures that we are much more productive in networking, applications teams and development, and a handful of other teams across the board by working remotely. Been selling off officespace all last year and continuing to do so. We do work more working from home. And all that said, they know full well what teams should be back in the office and those of us who could feasibly work permanently from home.
Oh, you can bet your ass that prohibition of alcohol again is coming far sooner than 20-40 years from now. Newsflash, everybody dies! The government should have no rights to infringe on what people want to consume. This is a slippery slope. I am not pro-cigarette here but pro choice of drug consumption. That, and the distinguishing of cigars and pipe tobaccos from that of what a cigarette really is, which is not natural tobacco. Cigarettes are 50% "mother's liquor," which is ground up floor scrap and stem tobacco parts into a nice little puree with added re-uptake nicotine boosting agents. This is then dried into sheets and chopped up to look like ribbons of tobacco. It is not smoking tobacco naturally. Leave the natural cigars and pipe tobaccos in another category. The FDA is going to target all tobacco cleverly as if it's all the same when they know very well that it is not.
You think all these Addy popping, Vyvanse downing, benzo-calming programmers aren't dying way earlier? You are fooling yourselves so hard.
Agreed. Seems that some of the engineers commenting here work on projects in which they would have us believe a narrower description of what keylogging actually is, because they implement shady keylogging in their own products and need to feel better about it. If I don't press a submit button, and you are fielding my keystrokes into your database at any point, you are keylogging. I would not purposely use any product, or chat window, or form that I knew was submitting my keystrokes to their backend. If there is a button to send the form, only then should it be sending anything to your server. But this is hardly surprising these days with how entirely out of hand all the total data capture scope in products has been heading.
It honestly sounds like you've come to allow all types of keylogging to become (to yourself only) allowable and called by any other name. Yes, if Google Docs does actually take each keystroke and record it and save record of it, even once backed out/deleted from a field, this is in fact keylogging.
Nope. A keylogger is any field taking whatever your input without your knowledge, and "logging" it. So as he said above, if you were accidentally typing in sensitive info in a password field, or a chatbot window and without clicking a button to send that info off, they are logging it. That is still keylogging. Just because it's not a RAT keylogger doesn't mean it's not logging keystrokes.
Down nearly 40% in the past 24 hours, trade volume is down over 40%, and the $1 fee shows those in the know that it's barely being used on-chain and this was a big pump off washed volumes. 7-10 days and Doge is likely back around 10-13 cents.
Not the community so much as that Bitcoin has mathematicians and competent cryptographers working on mission critical software. What you see with moving fast and breaking things and numerous forks in other coins is not bright.
It is nowhere even remotely near as secure as Bitcoin. Scrypt mining is massively insecure verification when compared to the SHA256 verification provided by Bitcoin. It's as secure as Litecoin, and Litecoin is many magnitudes less secure of a chain than Bitcoin.
This is just a lack of knowledge about the ecosystem. Merchants who are setting up Lightning Network channels or Liquid Network payments on Bitcoin can utilize instant transactions for 1 penny, or as little as one satoshi fee.
We typically use the bankers as a sentiment indicator to show you folks who like bankers, that the bankers are getting into Bitcoin. The beauty in Bitcoin is these bankers enter in an equal or lower playing field to those involved. We don't seek permission from, or worry about said bankers.
They are pawns, if you will, to point to as jumping off points to your average Joe and say "Look! Your favorite X,Y,Z institutional guy is into Bitcoin now!" That is all.
This is utter nonsense. XLM is founded by Jed McCaleb of Ripple and Mt Gox fame, and it's not a cryptocurrency. It certainly is not money. Bitcoin tx fees are readily verifiable on mempool.space and are currently $11-12 for a low-medium priority transaction. (One can easily get in for several dollars less, as well) When you insert such blatantly misleading and outright false information it brings into question everything else you said. Plus, it should be noted this fee is pretty high. The BTC tx fees lately have been averaging only around $5-8 and that is sending on Legacy.
Interesting that you should say the opposite of what JP Morgan is now saying. That the wild fluctuations are steadily going away as volatility has been calming down quite a lot.
It's because we're too worried about participation trophies, gender pronouns, and PC garbage culture. It's become petty culture without any spine or backbone, whining about everything instead of doing anything. Minding everyone else's business instead of minding your own. Add to that all the misaligned government spending and cognitive dissonance. Factions upon factions of petty hedonistic groups. I also would not say this is not reversible.
While I'd agree that if he were sneaking into women's houses, snapping "candid" photos with no permission it would be one thing, but why do people entirely miss that this woman was posting all these pictures of her own feet on the internet?
If anything, all this showcases in my opinion is how people share WAY too much personal info and then something like this can make them think twice about doing so.
You can't even use MobileCoin in the US (Not that I'm a Signal user) but are they either planning on focusing on foreign markets, or planning on getting audited heavily by all the US financial agencies?
Different people tend to look at Bitcoin in completely different ways. In terms of what is a store of value, and what is wasted energy vs well used and worthwhile energy consumption.
I assume that you are wholly unfamiliar with Vice to be able to say this.
Ok, since I constantly get downvotes for no reason. Vice, runs tons of stuff about aliens. They're a meme news outfit that runs shows such as "Fuck, that's delicious" and shows with Action Bronson and friends who get really high and do commentary on episodes of "Ancient Aliens." So again, you have to be totally unfamiliar with Vice, to say "Why aliens?"
Universal Basic Income is NOT Fuck You Money as it is totally reliant on government for a source of income. True "Fuck You Money" is having enough in diversified assets to a point you never have to work for anyone the rest of your entire life. It's also not maybe having enough money for a few years as some would seem to suggest here.
I must admit to not following recent XMR development much the last couple years and last recall after Maxwell wrote bulletproofs that it was intended to be implemented. I did check and see that it had been re-written and implemented by another in a different custom-tailored way. I do pay the XMR guys respect for doing their thing and branching their way. No disrespect, I should have generally said that the Bitcoin core devs have paved work for them. No, I did not mean core devs are writing all XMR code.
