Same reason he does anything, he sees opporuntity (to make more money and keep more of it)

> 2023-04-16: somebody (maybe the owner) increased the unsolved puzzles prizes again by x10. Now the puzzle #66 prize is 6.6 BTC, #67 is 6.7 BTC and so on... puzzle #160 prize is 16 BTC.

Bitcoin was not cheap in 2023, this is someone with $50m to spare!

>Solar and wind is a loosing proposition (you put more hydrocarbons into making them than they will generate in their lifetime, and you don't get to pick when they generate), and it can't carry the losses of hydrocarbons.

>TLDR; Onshore wind produces around 20-80 times as much energy as is required to produce the turbines. Offshore wind about 10-20 times. PV around 10-20 times.

The top answer is 10 years old, there's 10 years of manufacturing and output efficiencies to further improve these ratios.

Knowing the customer’s order history reduces the search space in most cases.

> When I was in England .. I was taken aback by most of the resumes including photos. That's just not done here in the US...

This does not match my experience in London working for SMEs, it's very rare that a CV includes a photo, especially tech role applicants.

>> This means that people in the UK are not allowed to use Binance's services to speculate, or bet

>> However, they are still allowed to use the website to purchase and sell crypto-currencies, which is not regulated

These statements have since been removed from the article, because they're incorrect.

Spreadbetting is tax-free in the UK and the FCA banned spreadbetting on bitcoin last year. IG, CMC and CityIndex all closed out client positions and delisted all crypto pairs.

I'm sure you've already seen it but in case you haven't, Evan Duffy's rendition of this on YouTube is inspiring. Also check out The Veldt.

Tether's impact on the price of Bitcoin is grossly misreported and without basis.

The only "Federal agency" targeting Tether was the New York Attorney General's office, however the investigation was settled last month with with no admission of guilt from Tether.

Your first example quote has an unfortunate typo. 0x1 should be 0x0

And when it goes up 1000% every 4th year, other investors notice too :D

Haha, the irony!

To be certain that they are the only entity that controls the coins.

Also at least partially attributable to retail outflow from Bitmex because of regulatory crackdown.

In London the rules are really stupid. Using smart-devices while driving is allowed as long as the device is mounted. Woe betide anyone caught with a phone to their ear.

No they don't.

>they specifically don't allow you to hail a cab

Don't they? The app experience certainly feels like hailing. The app provides a virtual line of sight that shows me a map of my surroundings with nearby available vehicles, when I make a booking I can track the vehicle as it approaches my location.

When demand abates, the electricity requirements will follow.

Curious how you have arrived at $1.5T of buy support for BTC?

Given an example, a $1 bid on 100 BTC equates to $100 of buy support. In this example, would you count this as 100 * current price?

For reference, my custom tool reports BTCUSD pairs across major exchanges and shows approx 40kBTC of liquidity 10% either side of the current price. This is approximately $0.25B.

> i wish nyc would copy london and actually tax people for enter every bridge, tunnel etc in rush hours to stop it.

The only toll route I know of anywhere near London is the QE2 crossing, which is outside Greater London.

The CCZ (congestion charging zone) covers less than 5% of the Greater London area. There are plans to expand the CCZ, and tackle pollution via an ultra-low-emission-zone.

I also never looked back after discovering Kindle.

Features I cannot live without are adjustable font size, the backlight (can only speak for PaperWhite model) and the builtin book-store.

This is not an answer, but today I was hunting for an implementation of Aho-Corasick in Go.

https://github.com/cloudflare/ahocorasick - 285 stars. https://github.com/anknown/ahocorasick - 70 stars

Anknown's implementation is more than 10x faster than CloudFlare's, and typically uses 10% of the memory!
