Yes that's better than having your utilities shut off and being evicted a month later with greater debts.

As long as the person doesn't take out loans there's a good chance they can recover with government assistance.

There are a consumer protections around necessities for survival for exactly this reason.

The borrower can tell their creditors that they will be unable to pay this month's electricity bill/rent/whatever.

The creditor will take a loss (writeoff/reschedule) or seize collateral.

It's better than having the same issue next month for a larger amount.

Providing exit liquidity for the creator is always use case #1.

Powershell has the same functionality in Convert-FromString

It's mixed. Ethereum is gpu, bitcoin is ASICs, monero is cpu for example.

Heavy overlap in raw materials and supply chain regardless.

Yes, but more generally they use the same raw materials.

This is a browser feature already. Every site chooses to ignore it due to lack of legal backing.

What do you think ASICs are made of?

Atmospheric data, pay an average to each person in the country.

Location-neutral also means sitting directly on top of coal mines.

If somebody's mining bitcoin they're clearly not interested in ethics in the first place.

Are they really? There are a few popular mobile games, but mostly predatory skinner boxes at high risk of regulation.

Translations of Chinese books/films/comics are still consistently awful.

What's the point? Once people realise that you control all transactions those tokens you've hoarded immediately become worthless.

You've destroyed other people's "money" at the expense of your own.

Generally much less, if you're taking into account all the wasted time/energy.

Can confirm that ServiceNow and Outlook have the same workaround.

Norway is a large sparsely populated country.

Norway is absolutely shifting away from fossil fuels themselves for domestic use.

They're the world leader in electric cars, for example.

The thrust of the article is that somehow they should change worldwide oil production (which they have little control over) rather than domestic oil use (which they are working on with relative success).

Simply put, the writer is either completely mad or a cynical shill of some sort.

People working in game design choose to accept lower pay and worse working conditions than other industries offer for the same skills.

That makes no sense unless they're gamers themselves.

If you're taking about the UK, the obvious starting point would be ending subsidies for buy-to-let.

In a pandemic with vast spending deficits, the government is giving out mortgage holidays, 95% mortgage scheme, stamp duty holiday etc.

I agree that people should be more specific.

Financial crime is not the only possible use of cryptocurrencies, but it is the only use case where it is potentially better than dollars.

You might want to try out Power Query (get & transform).

Step-by-step repeatable transformations where the UI records steps and writes code in the background.

Almost exactly what you're talking about, and comes out-of-the-box in the last few versions.

I'd rather do it via tax so that it's not an indirect subsidy for assholes.

Another settings menu overlapping with the existing two. Great...

Sounds similar to Powershell's SecureString, if you want to compare vs a non-"toy" equivalent.

The only selling point of NFTs is that they are poorly understood, making them useful for fraud. Specifically wash trading/money laundering.

Is that really a success?

Asimov's "The Last Question" is close, though the focus is on entropy rather than any kind of space wars.

Ransomware is a job for these people. They're not doing it for fun.

Would you take a job if you were paid in only iTunes vouchers? There would still be a few people, but not the vast and expanding industry that we have at the moment.

Vouchers (or bags of cash) are also much more difficult to convert to fiat without being tracked.

In terms of enforcement - preventing all bank transfers to and from exchanges, embargoes on countries that allow exchanges, threatening to seize crypto on sight, and fines for companies making payments in crypto would be enough to do 99% of the work.

Sure people could send payments off-exchange, but without the liquidity provided by retail investors criminals would struggle to cash out.

It's official best practice for powershell to enable - whatif in any potentially dangerous scripts.

Seems to be followed most of the time.

I guess this is for the hot tub streamers?

I can't even imaging filtering gaming streams based on the host's sexual preferences or skin tone.

Looks great for bar staff

If that's an intentional pun, it's terribly witty and I love you.
